BXBX NOVEL Chapter 49: Preparing For War
However, he now had two items to look at, so he checked his inventory. After searching for a while, he found the first item and took it out, and when he read the description of the item, he couldn't help but smile:
[Monster God's Fang(Creator-)
The Monster God was not a very powerful Creator-Born, but he was certainly one of that race. This meant that when used for crafting, this tooth could produce something very, very useful.
Its use is left entirely up to the player].
When James had finished examining this item, he smiled and then shook his head and said, "Isn't that ironic?"
Ronald, who listened carefully to James, shook his head and then asked, "No sir, can you enlighten me?"
James shook his head in a way that meant yes and then said, "I'll do it right away."
"This scum who tried to kill me and shouldn't be there dies in my hands and I get his tooth as a reward, do you know what I'm going to do with this, Ronald?"
"No sir, can you let me know?" Ronald said with the great wonder he had in his eyes.
After waving the tooth in his hand from side to side, he said, "A fishing rod, who knows, maybe it will work as a fishing rod, fishing is fun after all."
After these words, the eyes of Ronald, who held the seat tightly in his seat, widened. Not only his expression, but the expressions of all Olympus and even all Chaos-Borns became the same.
A youth not born with God's blood had killed a Creator-Born, even with help, and now he was mocking him.
"What an excellent idea sir, if you give it to me I'll be sure to come back with the best fishing rod." Ronald suddenly said and held out his hand, and James, who handed her to him, found the other item in his inventory and took it out.
After carefully observing the item, he smiled again and had a sudden idea of where he would use it:
[Empty Crystal Necklace(Godly----)
This Necklace is the lost treasure of the Rosewell family's ancestors, and it is the treasure that protected one of the family members. It is the original version of the necklace that Elanor thought would protect her on the quest.
Provides 40% physical and magical defence to the wearer.
It creates a one-time-only protection field that will protect the wearer from any attack for half a minute.
This Necklace was bestowed upon the Rosewell family by Chaos].
When James had read the properties of this item, he opened his inventory and took out one of the philosopher's stones, another prize from the quest. He handed both items to Ronald and said, "Can you put these together? I will give them as a gift to someone."
When Ronald heard these words, he took the items and put them in his inventory, then tapped his finger on his nose as if he understood something and said, "Lady Nyx seems to be getting a nice gift."
Still, no one but James realised that this gift wasn't going to Nyx. After all, even if he played a big role in completing this mission, the main hero was Nemesis herself, not Nyx, at least he could do that much for her.
James didn't think that someone like Nyx, who could have anything she wanted, would be upset that she didn't get a necklace.
However, knowing that he was finished here, he stood up and Ronald, realising this, did the same.
James approached Ronald and hugged him deeply and then said, "Thank you Mr Rabbit, you're a very nice man." and left.
He left nothing behind but a laughing Ronald.

"Have you come across any clues?"
Ahil was the one who spoke. For 3 days, they had slept only two hours, constantly working on the mission Nemesis had given them and trying to gather information.
Still, nothing had come of it.
"No, Father, spies have infiltrated other countries, using the priests' abilities to inform us every hour, yet we have no information."
As Enel uttered these words, Ahil struck the table with his palm and stood up abruptly.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE SPIES DOING?!?!?!" he shouted, just as Empress Wish's voice was heard:
"Go and get some sleep Ahil, you're exhausted, you know that."
At these words, Ahil breathed in and out for a few seconds and then raised his head and said "Yes, you're right, I have to take a nap for a few hours." and prepared to leave the room, just at that moment, the door of the room suddenly opened violently:
"DAD!!! INFORMATION!!! WE'VE GOT IT!!!"
Lila had suddenly entered the room, she was incredibly sweaty, and it was obvious that she had been running for some time. She was holding three pieces of paper.
"Give it to me now!" Ahil answered his daughter, frowned as he held the papers and then shouted:
"GET THE ARMY READY ENEL, INFORM THE CHURCH LILA! THE SUNEMPIRE IS GOING TO WAR, WE'RE GOING TO DESTROY THE 5TH FLOOR!!!"
These words echoed throughout the palace, and with blood pressure rising every second, the army would prepare to mobilise.
A great war was at the door, and it was caused by an official assassination attempt on James on a floor that was not to be entered or traded on. The Sun Empire would never forgive a wrong done to them, they have never done it until now.
As of today, the fifth floor would be bloody.
War would officially begin.
-----
James, unaware of everything, entered the imperial library and was astonished by the sight before him.
Anyone who looked at him could tell that he had not expected to encounter such a sight.
It was like it was time for him to study.
