Protect Our Chief

Chapter 1029: Chapter 62: Obtaining the Marvelous Treasure! The Great Emperor Nearly Suffers a Breakdown

But very soon, it "disappointedly" "withdrew" its gaze.

"Old Yao, are you planning to let me go out into the world?" The War Axe Xingtian quivered slightly, its deep, rough voice tinged with dissatisfaction. "I’ve long since said it: the master I want is an invincible general on the battlefield. Just these two weak-chicken brats? Don’t insult me."

Even though it was sealed in a small formation and a Divine Power Spirit Treasure couldn’t run around, it could still talk.

"Hey hey, what kind of talk is that? You look down on me and An Ye, and we don’t think much of you either." Wu Xue Ning’s pretty eyes slanted as she shot back, "With how you look on the outside, this Little Princess would feel embarrassed taking you into a fight."

"Hmph! Our paths are different; there’s no point plotting together."

After the War Axe Xingtian grumbled that out in a muffled tone, it shut up and ignored everyone.

Indeed, their temperaments were worlds apart; they really weren’t the same kind of people.

Since Spirit Treasures that possessed Divine Techniques had already birthed Artifact Spirits, their personalities would naturally vary greatly from one another. Generally speaking, the more powerful the Divine Power Spirit Treasure, the stronger its personality, and the harder it was to tame—naturally, it wouldn’t casually recognize a master.

Seeing that Xingtian wasn’t talking, Old Yao skipped past the War Axe Xingtian and moved on to introduce the next Divine Power Spirit Treasure: "Two little honored ones, please take a look. This is a rare Divine Spiritual Treasure Shield called ’Safety’."

On the display stand up ahead, a zheng-shaped shield in the form of a water drop was quietly floating.

Its surface was a pale blue, neither quite metal nor quite jade, covered in intricate, arcane inscriptions. It looked steady and solid. At the bottom, the pointed end was inlaid with a dark-blue metal edge, clearly giving it a certain offensive capability as well.

In the dim light, ring after ring of light-blue halos spread out from the shield’s surface; its looks were very appealing.

"Safety?"

Wang Anye examined it carefully. He felt this shield’s appearance fit his aesthetic quite well, and it also exuded a sense of reassurance, giving off a very reliable vibe. freewёbnoνel.com

He did happen to be lacking a shield, but since Your Majesty wouldn’t let him take a Divine Power Spirit Treasure, clearly this thing had nothing to do with him.

"Safety? So you’re the famed Treasure Shield ’Safety’." Wu Xue Ning, however, looked as if she’d found something interesting. Her pair of Star Eyes blinked rapidly at the shield, a "long-admired, long-admired" expression on her face.

"The young lady recognizes me?" Treasure Shield "Safety" sounded a bit refined, not at all the booming voice one might expect from a burly man.

"Of course I’ve heard of you. Your most famous quote is ’Safety first’." Wu Xue Ning chuckled. "The moment you run into an enemy with even the slightest bit of danger, you’ll carry your master and flee at top speed. I really want to ask: are you actually a shield, or a flying mount?"

"But of course. Safety first—staying alive is the only truth." Treasure Shield Safety didn’t care about the mockery; instead, it explained in a very earnest tone. "As a shield, I must be more vigilant than my master. When facing a powerful enemy, forcibly carrying my master to retreat first and then planning what comes next is the optimal tactical choice."

"Sadly, all the masters I’ve met had too impulsive a temperament, terribly stubborn. They wouldn’t listen when danger came; the moment their blood ran hot, they just wouldn’t let me take them and run." Treasure Shield Safety sighed. "Such a pity, such a pity, every last one of them ended up dead."

"Uh..."

Wang Anye had thought this Treasure Shield was pretty good at first, but now that he thought about it, he’d better pass.

No wonder this Treasure Shield still hadn’t been rewarded to anyone. With a personality like this, it shouldn’t be called "Safety" at all—"From-the-Heart" would be more like it.

"You should seriously reflect~ Once you’re on the battlefield, there’s not that much talk of retreat." Wu Xue Ning curled her lip in disdain. "I heard Great Grandpa Ancestor is already considering whether to erase your cowardly Artifact Spirit and throw you back into the ranks of Blank Artifact Spirit Divine Power Spirit Treasures."

Generally speaking, an Artifact Spirit greatly boosted a Divine Power Spirit Treasure’s might. The stronger the Artifact Spirit, the greater the enhancement. And for an Artifact Spirit to become formidable, it also needed a long period of nurturing and growth.

So unless an Artifact Spirit grew too crooked and became truly unbearable, they were really reluctant to erase it.

"If they want to erase me, there’s nothing I can do." Spirit Shield Safety sighed. "Why are there so many people in this world who can’t understand such a simple principle as ’safety first’? The gap between my worldview and those masters’ is just too big; living on like that is meaningless."

Wang Anye was speechless.

He should have realized sooner.

The Imperial Family’s Divine Power Spirit Treasures definitely weren’t just these few, but the others had already been given out, each with a master. The ones left over like this must have been picked around, each with its own issues.

By comparison, that chatty "Qianqiu" actually counted as relatively normal.

After that, Old Yao introduced two more Swords.

The Sword was the most commonly used weapon, and logically should have been very popular. But for two Divine Power Spirit Treasure Level Swords to be left until now, they naturally had problems of one sort or another. freёwebnoѵel.com

One of them was a Divine Power Treasure Sword with a Blank Artifact Spirit; no one knew whether its Artifact Spirit hadn’t been born yet, or had already been erased.

The other was a very good-looking Sword, its whole body gleaming with flowing light, its aura extraordinary.

Its blade was slightly wider than that of an ordinary Sword, its presence steady and composed. Even the inscriptions on it emitted a domineering, awe-inspiring air, like a cold, imposing General on the battlefield, making people feel a natural fondness at first sight.
