Chapter 232: Supreme Gear — The Golden Fleece Planar Chain
"Why?" Su Yu was taken aback.
By all accounts, given his active participation in various major battles, the reward he was asking for was not at all excessive. Moreover, considering his relationship with Alyssa, she shouldn't have refused him, right?
Princess Alyssa, seated in the main chair, propped her chin on her left hand and smiled down at Su Yu.
Then she replied, "Because those rewards don't match your contributions. I will give you something better!"
With that, she stood up from her seat and walked slowly toward Su Yu. As she approached, she removed a necklace from around her neck.
The necklace was made of a material that resembled pink diamonds, and at its end hung a quail egg-sized bright blue gem. The surface of the gem shimmered with a faint starlight.
Just one glance at the gem made Su Yu feel insignificant.
Alyssa smiled and said, "This is a treasured heirloom of the Royal House of Golden Fleece, estimated to be over a thousand years old. Now, I am giving this necklace to you. You must take good care of it!"
Alyssa walked gracefully to Su Yu, tiptoed, and placed the necklace around his neck.
"Ding, your main quest [Golden Fleece Empire (76-85)/100] has ended. You have received the reward: [Golden Fleece Planar Chain (Legendary)] x1."
[Golden Fleece Planar Chain (Legendary)]
Necklace
Trait 1: Your reputation in the [Golden Fleece Empire] is fixed at [Adoration].
Trait 2: Internally fused with a small, damaged planar fragment, measuring 1.36 square kilometers.
Trait 3: Spatial Mastery (Passive): Your comprehension and learning ability for "space" are significantly enhanced, and the effects of spatial spells are increased by 30%.
Trait 4: Spatial Slash: Cuts through the space in the target area, dealing high physical damage to all creatures within it. The damage and range of the spatial slash depend on the summoner's strength, with a cooldown of 24 hours.
Trait 5: Spatial Lockdown: Locks down the space within a 2-kilometer radius centered on you. All targets except you cannot use spatial spells or scrolls. This effect does not work on targets of a higher level than you, lasting for 3 minutes with a cooldown of 24 hours.
Note: Commissioned by the first Empress of Golden Fleece, Rols Golden Fleece, using the power of the entire nation, this necklace is of immeasurable value.
Alyssa smiled at Su Yu and whispered, audible only to the two of them, "The activation incantation for the necklace is in Elvish: 'Praise Rols, all victories come from her' (previously in an unknown script). You must remember it."
Activation Incantation replaced with English equivalent, maintaining the Elvish context
But Su Yu was completely stunned. "Alyssa, this is far too valuable! Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
While the other four traits of the [Golden Fleece Planar Chain] were not particularly significant, the "Trait 2" was incredibly powerful!
It contained a damaged planar fragment! This alone multiplied its value countless times!
If all the in-game equipment and items were rated on a scale of 0 to 100, the [Embrace of the Seraphim] would score about 0.01, the [Hourglass of Eternity] around 0.1 due to its final bug trait, the [Moon Goddess Clan Emblem] 41, and the [Heart of the World Tree] around 68.
The [Golden Fleece Planar Chain], however, could easily score 65 or higher!
It was the kind of gear that remained relevant even at the eighth tier!
Such a high-level reward would be fitting even at the end of the 100th loop, and yet the princess had given it to him now.
This gave Su Yu a very surreal feeling.
He couldn't be dreaming, could he? But when he touched Alyssa's small hand, the sensation was real, not like a dream at all.
Alyssa's cheeks flushed slightly as Su Yu's hand made contact.
She smiled and said, "Actually, I've wanted to give you this necklace for a long time, but I never had the right opportunity... Now, I'm giving it to you. Please take good care of it!"
Alyssa was well aware of the necklace's value.
If she were to trade this necklace with the surrounding empires or kingdoms, she could easily get a piece of land as large as a fifth of Olan City.
As for Psychic Coins, such a treasure was far beyond what Psychic Coins could buy. If it were to appear in the auction house in Pearl City, even with a price tag of a hundred billion, the wealthy merchants of Pearl City might pool their resources to buy it.
The term "priceless treasure" was coined for such items.
Alyssa gave the necklace to Su Yu because she knew he would use it frequently. Every time he used it, he would think of her, and that was enough for her.
"Alyssa, thank you," Su Yu didn't know what else to say.
"Don't mention it," Alyssa smiled and covered Su Yu's mouth with her hand. "Take it and use it. I wish you and your friends success in defeating the invaders from the other dimension. And promise me, don't die on the battlefield!"
"I will, I promise to protect myself," Su Yu assured her.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
Alyssa and Tina were both very kind to him, and if he had to choose between them, he truly didn't know who to pick. The thought alone gave him a headache.
But the choice could wait for another day!
Right now, the most pressing issue was to find a way to deal with the Skrulls. Otherwise, everything else was just a dream.
Alyssa turned and walked back to the main seat, saying as she went, "As for the soul fragment of Sivan you requested, I'll give it to you as a reward after the next phase of the war. Keldron?"
The princess looked at the guard beside her.
"Your Highness!" Keldron quickly knelt before her.
Keldron's entire family had died in the great disaster at Forest City, and it was clear that he still hadn't fully recovered from the trauma, his expression remaining somber.
"Tomorrow, go to Master Sharlan and have her extract the fragment and bring it here," the princess instructed.
"Understood, Your Highness!" Keldron responded respectfully.
Su Yu, however, was puzzled. "Your Highness, what do you mean by 'the next phase of the war'?"
With Maple City and Rock City already reclaimed and over 90% of the land back under the empire's control, it seemed the war should be over. Why was there still a next phase?
Alyssa smiled slightly. "Killer Star, do you remember the goal the soldiers shouted when we set out from Olan City?"
"The goal?" Su Yu recalled for a moment and then said, "I remember they shouted, 'Our goal is to reclaim lost lands, unify the nation, and make all traitors pay the price.' Oh, I see."
Su Yu suddenly understood what the princess meant.
"You understand well," Alyssa said, looking westward with a cold, determined gaze. "It's time for the Kingdom of Quince, the Kingdom of Liman, and the Hills Commercial Federation to pay the price for their treachery!"
