Chapter 147 Ring
"Okay, I'll keep it for you first, and when the time is right, I'll return it to your royal family!"
Vic reached out to take the small wooden box. Vic tried to pull his hand back, but found resistance. He then looked and saw that the old king had not let go and was still holding the small wooden box with a look of reluctance on his face.
Vic was speechless. If you want to give it to me, then let me go. If you don’t want to give it to me, then beg me. After saying so much, you still want to seduce me to stay. What a joke! Am I someone who gives in so easily?
"Your Majesty, why don't you just forget it? Since it's a family heirloom, we should keep it and pass it down to the next generation!" Vic let go of the hand holding the small wooden box, took it back, walked towards the window again, and prepared to leave.
When the old king saw Vic was about to leave, his face was full of struggle, his eyes moved back and forth, as if he had thought of something, a soft look appeared on his face, he quickly stood up and trotted out from behind the desk, and stuffed the small wooden box into Vic's hand.
"Take it, take it, take it away quickly, don't let me see it again!" After saying that, the old king quickly walked back a few steps and turned his back to Vic. He closed his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would ask for the thing back if he saw it again.
A smile appeared on Vic's face. This little old man was quite cute. Vic glanced at the small wooden box in his hand and felt that the old king did not seem to be fooling him. The thing inside might really be a treasure. He set his eyes on the old king's back.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say just now that there is a saying about this treasure? Can you tell me?" Vic remembered what the old king had not said just now.
"This treasure is worth more than the entire country. That's what I mean. But we haven't discovered its value in all these years. I hope you can gain something from it! Get out of here now and don't let me see you again!"
The old king told him anyway. After all, the things had been given to him, so what else could he not say? Then he waved his hand impatiently and urged him to leave.
The matter was too complicated, so the old king did not tell Vic in detail. The less he knew, the safer it would be. It would be better if Vic could explore the purpose of the treasure, but it didn't matter if he didn't, because the treasure could not be destroyed.
Vicco didn't say anything else. He would take this item seriously. After opening the window, he walked out directly and went away as the sound of the air explosion weakened.
"Ugh!"
A sigh was heard in the study. Although the study was on the sixth floor, the old king was not worried at all that Vic would fall to his death.
During the banquet, Paula had already told him how powerful Vic was, so he was not surprised at all that Vic could fly. However, he was feeling very complicated now. He felt the loss of the family heirloom, and he didn't know how to face his daughter's expectant eyes. He also felt a little relieved!
The old king remained silent for a long time before telling Paula about this matter. Paula burst into tears at that time and was heartbroken. She kept staring towards the pier and her tears could not stop flowing.
That is a ray of sunshine in her heart, that is her future belief, and the image of Orens Vick will always be engraved in her heart and will never be erased.
"Paula, if he can figure out the secret of the treasure, he will not ignore you. He will come to see you often!" The old king hugged his daughter and looked into the distance, saying secretly in his heart.
At this time, Vic had already returned to the warship using the Moon Step. It was already the second half of the night, but the warship was ready to sail, and everyone was waiting for Vic's arrival.
"Set sail!" Zefa shouted, and the warship began to raise its sails, gradually moving away from the dock and away from the rich country of Shift.
"Vic, why did His Majesty the King keep you here?" Rebecca said to Vic seriously. She was afraid that Vic would never come back and stay in this country as a royal consort forever. Of course, she knew in her heart that Vic was not that kind of person, but even though she believed it, she couldn't help but fantasize about it.
"Nothing. He just said he wanted to thank me and gave me something." Vic raised the small wooden box in his hand. He did not mention that the king wanted him to stay and be his son-in-law. There was no need to let Rebecca worry about such things.
"Let me see what it is!" Rebecca grabbed the small wooden box excitedly and opened it to look at it.
"Ah! It's the ring, Vic! Did you promise them something?" Rebecca looked at Vic's face and said with tears in her eyes.
Yes, the small wooden box contained a finger-sized ring. Vic had never opened it before, so Rebecca misunderstood and thought it was an engagement ring or some other token of love. She looked at Vic's face nervously.
Wendy also looked at Vic with an unfriendly face. She had a good relationship with Rebecca, and she couldn't just watch her good sister being abandoned by Vic. She knew how deeply Rebecca loved Vic.
Vic took the small wooden box from Rebecca's hand with some depression and looked at it. A ring was lying in the cloth ball. It could be called a ring. It was an integral structure. There were no gems inlaid on it, but there was a circle of complicated patterns on the outside of the ring, wrapping the entire outer circle.
Vic ignored the two women's gazes, took out the ring from the box and looked at it carefully. The ring was not wide, and the color was pure lead gray, only half a centimeter wide, the style was very simple, and the pattern was something Vic had never seen before, it was complicated and intricate, not like it was artificially carved, but more like it was formed naturally.
"It feels warm to the touch, as if someone has worn it before. The pattern on it is very similar to the pattern on the staff.
No! They are different, and the colors are different, but they are of the same type. Could they be treasures of the same level?
If it really is a treasure of the same level, then I would owe you a huge favor. What kind of luck do I have!
This small wooden box is just an ordinary wooden box. It was not struck by lightning when I held it in my hand. It seems that it has a different purpose. I just don’t know what the purpose of this ring is!”
Vic thought to himself that it was a great fortune to be able to obtain a treasure like the magic wand. Before he had fully mastered its use, it had already greatly improved Vic's strength. Now there was another one of that level. Vic felt that it must be due to his good character, and even God felt that he should reward him well.
"It's just an ordinary decorative ring, not a ring at all. It doesn't even have a gem. Do you think a royal family would give such a shabby token of love?" Vic replied without blushing or beating his heart, and then nonchalantly put the ring on the index finger of his left hand. Believe it or not, it fit perfectly.
Rebecca was immediately happy when she heard what Vic said, but Wendy was a little suspicious. The patterns on the ring looked unusual, but she didn't see any unnatural expression on Vic's face.
Vic really had nothing to feel guilty about. Although he was hiding something, it was not an emotional matter, so he could justify it.
"You two should go and get some rest. It's getting late. Girls will age quickly if they don't get enough sleep. This world is very unfair to you girls!" Vic wanted to study the next ring alone, so he sent the two girls to bed.
What Vic said was not false, this world is really unfriendly to women. No matter how beautiful you are when you are young, you will look like a deformed old tree-bark face, and you can't see your former beauty at all!
