...
As the system said, his luck was a bit low today. He might be able to get a better thing tomorrow, but he couldn't do it. The box might disappear by tomorrow. So, there was no difference whether he used it now or later.
He checked each item as usual.
The truncheon was like a black colored police baton. He was wondering how such a thing could become a Rare Rank item. But after he inspected more carefully, he could feel that it was not your usual police baton. Its material was high enough to be called a Rare rank item.
He then checked the second item, Magic Cloak. It was a black cloak without any pattern whatsoever. It was a plain black cloak.
[It is the same as your Safety Shoes or Safety Gloves. You can use it to protect your back. It is classified as a rank 5 cloak. It might completely protect you from a rank 3 weapon. But if your opponent has a rank 4 weapon or he/she has enough intent, they can indeed break the protection of this cloak.]
The system told him the effect. This was the first time he got something like this after ascending to this world. All equipment he had was from the Lower World. They already lost their use in this world.
He immediately wore this robe with his system. Of course, because he wore it with his system, the robe became invisible. No one could see it.
Alex checked the third item, Space Arrow Tube. When he took it out, it was truly a regular Arrow Tube. He couldn't understand where the space thing was. But when he looked inside the arrow tube, he could see an array.
It was an array to build a space ring. He was astonished.
"This... this arrow tube made by Space Stone?"
[Yes, Host. This Arrow Tube also has the effect of a Space Ring. So the user could store many special arrows inside. Although most bowmen prefer making the arrow themself. It was only a normal arrow. If they had this, they could store many special arrows.]
"System... isn't that a waste? I mean, you can just use your Space Ring to store them. Isn't it more practical?"
[Host... You are underestimating a bowman. An Arrow Tube is like their second heart. Without it, they can't be considered as a bowman.]
"..." Alex didn't know anything about a bowman, so he thought that must be the case. He nodded. "Yeah. You might be right."
Of course, if bow cultivators heard this. They will instantly rebuke her.
Because he never used a bow, he didn't think anything about it, so he decided to check the next item, sunglasses... it was the typical sunglasses on earth, so he immediately tossed it away.
After that, he checked the last item. Moon Tulip was a rank 3 medicinal ingredient. The tulip bloomed only at midnight, so it was called Moon Tulip.
Even though it was a rank 3 medicinal ingredient, it was for a pill called Moonlight Pill. It was a special pill that could boost cultivation speed at night. But Alex didn't need it since he could make a Gathering Array.
After checking all of them, Alex said.
"Use all of my Gacha Tickets... No, I think I will open it later."
He hesitated after he remembered that his luck was a bit low at the moment. He would just open it after he came back.
Alex took out Nicole's card.
"Nicole, what is the situation in the capital city?"
"They made a special team because of the Zhou Kingdom after your Senior Sister informed them. I don't know what the information is, and I'm planning to search for that information."
"... It seems it is my information concerning the Blood Pill. You don't need to search for that."
"Understood."
"How about the Kasmanan Family?"
"They are acting strangely. From your information, it seems the one they sent to kill you back then were elders from the Kasmanan Family. Specifically, they were fifth elder, six elder, eight elder, and two unimportant guys.
"They had sent out an investigation because their elder didn't come back. And found out they died in Nemu Forest. But because they found Zhou Soldiers were in that place too.
"They speculated Zhou Soldiers were the culprit, so they didn't have any suspicion about you. If you want to strike them, I think now is the right time."
"I see. What about their security right now?"
"After the kingdom got attacked by the Zhou Kingdom, they tightened their security a little bit. But after two months passed, they had lessened. But I still think you should sneak in at night.
"As long as you can sneak in, the inside security was not that tight. But... Eric Kasmanan and that princess, along with your Senior Sister, had gone back to the sect a month ago."
"Alright, thanks." He put down Nicole's card. He looked down, weighing something in his mind. He unconsciously murmured before he came up with a plan. "Sneak in... It is not a hard thing to do with my Space Element."
He wasn't that bothered to know that Eric and the Princess had gone back to the sect. If Eric lost his family, what could he do next? As for the princess, he will try to handle her later.
He didn't tell Putri about the assassination because Putri might be filled with guilt if she knew that her friend and fiance were trying to kill him, especially after she told Mega about Alex.
Of course, if Mega was able to convince the royal family about this. He might need to tell Putri if the entire kingdom was involved. Of course, he didn't mind razing a whole kingdom if required. He would need to get stronger first.
Surprisingly, Alex didn't have any guilt from planning on massacring the Kasmanan Family even though it was his Senior Sister's fiance's family.
Alex thought it must because he never had any good impression on this Eric or maybe there was something else. At first, he thought he would feel a little guilty for doing this.
Alex shrugged his shoulder, trying not to think about it again. He then recalled everyone back to the base.
"We are going to go now. I will recall all of you back to the card. Leoz, Anna, and Fabio will help me to maintain the array. At the same time, Greg will make another layer as a precaution."
"Understood."
Alex recalled all of them back inside the card.
"Kyle."
"Chirp!" Kyle also disappeared.
Alex wanted to erase the gathering array before he left. But in the process, he felt his body was burning... No, something inside his body was burning.
Soon after, Sherry came out of his body while covered with fire. She had opened her eyes.
She floated in front of him and greeted him with her paw.
"Master!"
Alex was surprised to see that Sherry suddenly spoke a human language.
"You... can... speak?" He stuttered because of the shock.
"I can." Sherry nodded.
"..."
"!!!" It took her a few seconds to process Alex's question. She casually answered Alex with that because she didn't feel anything. But after a while, she finally realized she could speak. Sherry just got the shock of her life.
"Master, I can really speak normally with you now-wuu," Sherry said while hovering in the air. "I'm really happy. Now I can talk with others like this-wuu."
"... It seems because you are talking with 'Wuu' for so long, it has been etched to your talking habit?"
"I don't know-wuu."
"Anyway, I'm glad to see you again. Look at you now. You have become a Martial Lord before me." Alex teased.
"It is only because of master. If I didn't meet master back then, I might still be the white fox that no one cares about, or I might have died in that place. But now, I can help master even further!" Sherry said while pumping her paw.
Alex smiled, "Well, enough with this talk. We can talk later. I want to go somewhere first to finish some business."
"Alright!" She disappeared.
Alex flew toward the capital city. He didn't rush to the capital city to conserve his stamina for later.
After a half-day flying, Alex finally saw a tall stone wall. However, he didn't get inside. Instead, he stopped in a nearby space where people couldn't see him.
"Spatial Gate."
A portal to the blue colored realm appeared again in front of him after he used it to escape from a Martial King. Alex went inside the realm.
He walked for quite a while before opening the gate once more. When he came out of the portal, he was on the bottom of the wall. Of course, inside the city.
He arrived in a dark alley. He tried to examine his surroundings, and he didn't find anyone.
"Luckily, this capital city didn't have a spatial restriction."
Spatial Restriction was a term that described a constraint to a place/thing where they couldn't be passed with Space ability.
Take Zwaka's barrier as an example. Even a Space Element Array Master like Alex couldn't get inside with his Spatial Gate because Zwaka's barrier that surrounded the death forest had a Spatial Restriction.
This restriction disturbed the flow of Space Element and became a barrier that blocked it. If Alex used his Spatial Gate to pass the barrier, he would only be stopped by an invisible wall that couldn't be crossed.
Alex then activated his Spirit Eyes as he moved, trying to avoid contact with people before he reached the main road. After walking for quite a while in this dark alley, he finally reached the capital city.
The city was crowded with people. Alex might be able to camouflage easily in this place. The overall layout was not that different from Heavenly Sword Town.
He strolled around while waiting for the night. He reached the Alchemist Guild in the city and took out Nicole's card.
"I need to meet you."
"Where are you, Young Master?"
"In front of the Alchemist Guild."
"I will go to your place."
Not long after, a blonde girl walked to him. She was a gorgeous young lady with a seductive body. She greeted Alex, "Young Master, please follow me."
Alex instantly realized it was Nicole. Before she had pink hair, maybe she just changed her identity, including her appearance. "Sure."
Nicole grabbed Alex's hand. Alex became tense for a second before he heard Nicole say, "Let's go."
When he saw her expression, he knew it was just an act. Nicole brought him to Kasmanan Family. Of course, from other perspectives, both Alex and Nicole were like a normal couple.
In reality, Nicole was showing Alex the weak spot of the mansion.
After Alex looked around the mansion, the first impression he had was... huge.
The house was close to a traditional Chinese house. Sadly, they couldn't peek inside. But as expected of a master spy. Nicole had already made a map for it and will explain it to Alex later.
After a while, they finally went inside an inn. They looked like a couple, trying to book a room as the night had arrived.
After they got inside the room, Alex immediately put a Sound Insulation Array.
"Where is Ngina?"
"He is inside the castle," Nicole said.
Even Alex was astonished when he heard Ngina was in the castle. But considering Ngina's ability, he could imagine it happening.
"He is spying inside the royal family to see whether they are conspiring against you or not."
Alex nodded.
Nicole then took out a big paper. It was the detailed information inside the Kasmanan Family, including the map of the house.
Nicole started explaining about the house while Alex was trying to come up with his plan.
Alex was going to use his Jadeite Mirror Array to enclose the house before he used Fire String Arrays to create fire to burn the oxygen inside.
Alex was discussing the location where he should put his Fire String Arrays.
