Chapter 1032 1032. Information About The Mysterious Key

Jack explained to Isabelle and Thaergood about his intention to have the troops train in martial arts. He then asked the two to bring Domon and Jet to Lord Commander Armstrong who was stationed in this capital. Jack appointed Armstrong as the supreme commander of the capital's troops.
The two agreed to work together with Armstrong and Domon for the training program. They would be taking Domon and Jet to Armstrong right away.
Before he dismissed them, Jack took out something from his inventory and showed it to the three natives.
"Have you people seen this key before?" Jack asked.
The key he showed was the Themisphere Legacy Key. The key was yellow in color, almost golden. Its size was larger than a normal key. It also had unique carvings along its surface. Anyone who had seen it before should be able to recognize it again.
The three just gave Jack a confused expression.
"Where do you get it?" Isabelle asked.
"Uh… From late King Themos," Jack answered truthfully.
"It says it is this kingdom's legacy key," Duke Alfredo said after using his Inspect. "Perhaps it is to open something in Your Majesty's chamber."
Jack shook his head. "I've tried searching around my chamber looking for a hole that fits this key. No luck," He said.
Jack was disappointed that the three had no idea about this mysterious key, but he thought it just couldn't be helped.
When Jack was about to store the key, Thaergood said, "Perhaps Your Majesty can try searching around in the East-wing's basement."
"Do you mean the dungeon? Where I was locked up before?" Jack asked.
"No, that's the West-wing's basement," Thaergood said. "The East-wing's basement was forbidden for other palace's inhabitants. We never truly know why. However, I do hear that the late King Themos sometimes went there on occasion."
"Oh, that's good to know. Thank you for your information!" Jack said. He guessed this clue was as good as any.
Jack then dismissed both Isabelle and Thaergood to go with Domon and Jet. Before leaving, Thaergood informed Jack that there was a meeting the next day with the advisors and magistrates to discuss state matters. He asked Jack to not leave the palace yet.
Leavemealone followed Domon. Duke Alfredo wanted to excuse himself but Jack asked him to stay.
"Duke, can I borrow something from you?" Jack asked.
"What do you need, Your Majesty?"
"I remember the first time I visited your manor, I saw two items there. A divine crystal and the Horn of Silver Rhino Emperor. Do you mind if I borrow them for maybe a week?"
"Borrow?" Alfredo chuckled. "That's all right. I'll give them to Your Majesty."
"What? There is no need for that! I only want to borrow it. Truly! I will return them afterward," Jack said. Of those two items, one was a legendary material while the other was a unique-grade consumable. It was too valuable to just be given away.
"No, it's fine. It has been sitting in my workroom for a long time just collecting dust. If they can be of use to the kingdom, I don't mind offering them. I will fetch them and bring them here before the night."
Jack was touched by the gesture. "Thank you very much, duke."
Alfredo waved him off. He then excused himself to go fetch the two items.
"With this, you will have all the materials to upgrade your Lightning God Blessing to its highest level," Peniel said.
"Yes, but we need to make a copy first," Jack said and turned to Jeanny. "We might need them later. Haon also needed the divine crystal for his Fire God Blessing."
"I hope the mana core requirement is not too many. We don't even have enough to provide the bloodlines to our other core members."
"You can just copy the divine crystal later," Peniel said. "He won't be able to upgrade his Lightning God Blessing anyway."
"Oh? Why is that?" Jack asked.
"There is another hidden requirement for the final level of the divine treasure. You will need to be at least level 80 before you can upgrade it."
"The hell? Isn't that still a long way to go?" Jack asked.
"Yeah. Do you think you can just get the max-level divine treasure so early?" Peniel asked back.
"Of course! That way, I can trash everyone else while they are all still low levels," Jack said.
? Peniel didn't bother to respond to that.
"Well, I will just keep that divine crystal and prioritize copying other items first then," Jeanny said.
While waiting for Duke Alfredo, Jack practiced his martial art. He ended up sparing with Jeanny since she had nothing to do. Bowler, The Man, and Paytowin got bored playing around the throne room and decided to leave. John was still playing around with the monarch system, ignoring all of them.
Duke Alfredo didn't make them wait for long. He returned not long after with the two items.
When Jack first lay his eyes on the divine crystal, it didn't seem like much until he used Inspect on it. Now, he could feel its power using his mana sense. It was as if there was a sun trapped inside that small crystal.
"Impressive," John remarked. The divine crystal was interesting enough that he stopped playing with the monarch system. Both he and Jeanny could also feel the crystal's mana.
"I will keep it safe and make a copy once I can. We probably need it for other things as well," Jeanny said to Jack and John through a message.
The Horn of Silver Rhino Emperor was also badass. Not only did it summon a mythical-grade beast for a one-hour duration, but it also could be used three times. As opposed to other summoning crystal which was only one-time usage. This horn would be a good thing to use in the war, Jack had the urge to scold the duke why he didn't bring it during the invasion war.
Jeanny turned to Duke Alfredo and gave him her sincerest thanks.
"Once you make a copy, I want that horn as well," John sent Jeanny a message.
"Don't you have enough minions already with your summoning spells?" Jack asked.
"I never find any number for my minions to be enough," John replied.
