Chapter 84: Shadow Talisman
In the Cain family mansion, in the underground research lab.
William touched the elemental crystal in his hand, which was slowly absorbing elemental particles to restore magic power, and sighed.
The only flaw of the “self-recharging” runic enchantment was its inefficient charging, far inferior to the magic power recovery speed of magic gems, and the restored magic power still contained impurities.
This charging efficiency could only meet the magic consumption of civilian enchanted products and was not suitable for use in higher-demand enchanted products.
Therefore, even after the appearance of the “self-recharging” runic enchantment in the past world, the value of magic gems was not greatly affected.
Should he use this elemental crystal to make an air conditioner for himself first?
William pondered this. Since he had already manifested the “self-recharging” runic enchantment, he needed to consider making a physical item to show Mora and Bernie the actual effect and lay the groundwork for future plans.
However, he still needed some auxiliary materials. He decided to ask the servants to prepare some for him later.
With this plan in mind, William left the underground laboratory where he had spent several days. He noticed that the sky outside was completely dark, so he prepared to return to his bedroom to rest.
After each burst of hard work, he needed to give his heart a chance to rest.
This was William’s experience.
Just as William was walking up the stairs, he saw the butler Joyce waiting in the hall.
Seeing William, Joyce walked calmly to him and handed him a letter.
There was still a letter to be delivered at this time?
William took the letter and glanced at it with a questioning look at Joyce.
Joyce bowed slightly and said, “This is a letter sent by Duke Harold, and he instructed me to remind you to attend the appointment on time.”
“Oh, Duke Harold?”
William became somewhat interested. Why would he suddenly send a letter to himself and ask him to attend an appointment on time? But the blood-red longsword emblem on the envelope was clearly the symbol of the Fis Royal Family.
Without much thought, William opened the envelope and began reading.
The content of the letter was simple:
[“Respected Mr. William Cain,
I hereby represent His Majesty Morton Fis, the King, and sincerely invite you to a small private gathering at the Fis Palace on the morning of August 15th in the Dawn Era.
Cedric Harold”]
Hmm?
This is Duke Harold, inviting me to a gathering on behalf of the king, but the letter mentions it’s a private gathering, so there may not be many participants, just a few people.
August 15th, isn’t that tomorrow?
Since Duke Harold is inviting me on behalf of His Majesty the King, and using the royal emblem, it’s certain that King Morton Fis of the Fis Kingdom will be present.
Why would he suddenly invite me to a gathering?
William carefully pondered. He felt it might be related to Nichole’s situation.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
But logically, he should still be in a situation where he “doesn’t know” Nichole’s true identity.
Summoning me to the palace for questioning isn’t that equivalent to “revealing” Nichole’s identity?
Do they really trust me like this?
Forget it, there won’t be any clues no matter how much I think about it. I’ll see how things go tomorrow.
To be honest, William didn’t have a deep impression of His Majesty Morton Fis, the king.
In his memory, the king had only appeared on some important occasions and had almost no chance to interact with him in the main storyline. Moreover, his presence was very low.
While William was contemplating the letter, Joyce suddenly handed him a grayish ornament.
“What is this?”
William took the ornament from Joyce’s hand. It was a round metal ornament with a grayish luster, with special patterns that William had never seen before. When combined together, it gave off a mysterious beauty.
“This is a lucky talisman I obtained from elsewhere. I don’t know if it works, but Master William, please carry it with you.”
“After all, you encountered danger on your last outing and almost didn’t come back. I hope that with this talisman, you will be safe and sound.”
William smiled and touched the talisman, putting it on himself.
“Thank you for your concern, Joyce. I’ll take good care of it.”
After bidding farewell to Joyce, William walked up the stairs and returned to his bedroom to rest.
After watching William leave, Joyce straightened up, his gaze becoming serious.
William has encountered too many dangers and accidents recently!
Joyce didn’t want to interfere too much in William’s affairs. After all, no strong individual has grown up under the protection of others. Some storms need to be faced by William himself.
Joyce had gone through all this himself, having experienced life-threatening situations more than once.
But Joyce wouldn’t just stand by if William really faced certain death.
Perhaps it was because William had been staying at home all this time that his vigilance had relaxed a lot. That really shouldn’t have happened!
I must prepare a life-saving trump card for William!
This was Joyce’s idea, especially after learning from William that he faced a golden-level lich in this adventure.
Joyce couldn’t believe how William managed to escape.
Challenging a golden being with bronze strength is simply desperate.
This gray talisman was a magical item Joyce had prepared specially these days, containing Joyce’s own power, capable of saving William’s life when he faced mortal danger.
Hope it works!
Joyce silently prayed, knowing that eventually William needed to know about the Cain family’s legacy.
—
On the other side, in the bedroom.
As soon as William entered, his expression immediately became serious. He took off the gray talisman he was wearing and held it in his hand, examining it carefully.
As soon as he took the talisman from Joyce, William sensed that something was off.
This wasn’t an ordinary talisman; it was a magical item imbued with extraordinary power!
Inspired by the arcane sight, William faintly sensed the tremendous power hidden within this talisman.
He was very familiar with this power, having faced it many times in his past life!
This was the power of shadows from the Shadow Plane!
William slowly covered the talisman with magic and began to inspect it carefully.
Suddenly, a new prompt appeared on the system panel.
[You have obtained the item Shadow Talisman]
[Shadow Talisman: Crafted by a legendary shadow dancer, it contains extremely powerful shadow magic. When the owner encounters danger, it automatically triggers to form a shadow shield and performs a deep-level shadow jump]
Hiss~
What an outrageous magical item!
This shadow talisman contained the power of a legendary shadow being.
Although it wasn’t a legendary item, its effect was already very powerful.
The shadow shield formed by legendary shadow power was enough to withstand an attack from a being of the same level.
William didn’t think he would ever encounter a situation where a legendary being would attack him without regard for face.
More importantly, the second effect, performing a deep-level shadow jump.
The principle of a shadow jump was to envelop oneself in shadow magic and jump to another exit through the Shadow Plane.
And a deep-level shadow jump meant that when William encountered mortal danger, he could directly teleport halfway across the kingdom.
Because it was using the Shadow Plane as a channel, spatial blockades and similar restrictions didn’t work.
This was equivalent to giving William a second life!
