"... I should have seen this coming... Gems are the materials for apprentices; every gem possible..." Klein's expression brightened as he chuckled and sighed twice before taking a few more gems to feel their weight and material composition.
In addition to these gems, the "Traveler's Satchel" contained several other spiritual materials, some common and others rare.
"The 'Old Box', 'Magician' abilities, nine 'Star Worms', Böttis's eyeballs, the 'Traveler's Satchel', a large amount of gems and materials... This mission was a success; it will be enough to distribute among everyone...
"Unfortunately, Böttis can record extraordinary abilities and states. There's no need to carry too many sealed items and magical artifacts, as they might be affected by their negative effects. As an apprentice god, he should have some decent sealed items, but I don't know where they are—perhaps in the spirit realm or within the Aurora Society headquarters... Too bad; Böttis collapsed his soul just now, so we couldn't communicate with him..." Klein shook his head and immediately returned to the real world. He found a place with cover, placed the lantern, and set up an invocation ritual.
He wanted to see if he could transport the "0-61", or the "Old Box", to the Desert of Neglect. If successful, he would be able to toyify Silver City as a whole and place it in the first layer of the sealed item, sending it out through the "Sacrifice and Grant" ritual directly. This way, he could bypass the Giant's Court and Angel Salsir, completing the "Miracle Master" ritual cleverly.
After much effort, Klein extended his right hand and dragged another version of himself from the air into this reality while diving into the historical mist and hiding in a gap before the First Epoch.
He was worried that the "Old Box" might randomly cause the nearby version to die instantly through the "Sacrifice and Grant" portal.
Inside the grayish fog, Klein stepped back four steps and returned above it, answering his own prayer. As the mysterious ancient "Sacrifice and Grant" portal formed and slowly opened, he summoned the "Old Box", wrapped in layers of power, and tossed it into the shadowy gateway.
Just then, the vague darkness suddenly gained substance, forming an invisible barrier that stopped the "Old Box" at the entrance of the partially opened door. It hovered there, unable to proceed further.
Klein frowned as he observed this scene. He tried to use the power of "Source Castle" to push it with angelic strength but couldn't break through that barrier.
"... Indeed, the Desert of Neglect is sealed; my connection to 'Source Castle' allows me to respond within limits, but not beyond them." Klein nodded slightly and put away the "Old Box," tossing it into a pile of miscellaneous items.
