Böttis's two eyeballs had turned deep black, his expression frozen in an indescribable terror. Just seeing him made Klein feel a strange chill, as if he could sense the drastic changes in Böttis's emotions right before his death.
After a thorough examination and using divination methods, Klein confirmed that these eyeballs did not contain any extraordinary qualities but harbored strong pollution and unknown powers. They could serve as a medium for curses and directly affect their targets, making them particularly long-lasting and dangerous spiritual materials.
"Cannot carry them for too long; otherwise, they might cause mental weakness, nightmares every night, body deformities…" Klein casually summoned an iron box and placed Böttis's eyeballs inside it. He did not attempt to purify the item, as destroying it would remove all its effects, proving wasteful.
Since the "Star Worms" were in good condition and one of the materials Klein knew best, he quickly turned his attention to that black bag.
The results from divination surprised him; this was a so-called spatial-type object. The surface could only fit an adult's hand, but it was actually as large as the two-bedroom apartment that the Moretti family had rented in Tingen when they first moved there. It could carry quite a lot of items.
This bag was crafted by Böttis using his "Magician" abilities. Essentially, the bag wasn't a physical item; it served as an entry point to another realm.
"... First, use 'Spatial Concealment' to twist and isolate a region in the spirit world, then exploit the overlap and chaos between reality and the spirit world with correct coordinates to create a hidden door in this bag...
"This is similar to sealing the 'Old Box', but one is a hidden door in the spirit world while the other is in the real world. This means that negative effects of sealed items and magical items can still impact the carrier within this spatial bag...
"So it seems less useful, as it cannot eliminate these negative impacts... Moreover, I couldn't connect to the spirit realm from the Desert of Neglect, making this bag useless there... Additionally, one must frequently reinforce 'Spatial Concealment' or it will gradually fail. Only apprentices and organizations with apprentice-type gods can use such items...
"The name 'Spatial Bag' is too mundane; I wonder how Böttis called this item originally… Let's call it the 'Traveler's Satchel'..." Klein confirmed the danger level, summoned a false hand to insert into the black bag.
With a loud rustling sound, all sorts of gems spilled out as the false hand retracted and landed on the old table. The dazzling red, azure, emerald, pale white, deep black, and transparent gems instantly filled Klein's vision.
"... 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.
