The past was built upon collecting unique characteristics.

Eric seemed surprised that the other party agreed so readily, so much so that he couldn't finish his sentence.

The calm yet resolute face reflected in those azure eyes made him pause for a few seconds.

Eric smiled in response, and in the end, all his words of gratitude were reduced to just two simple words.

"……Thanks."

"Your Highness, you needn't be so polite." Morian nodded slightly, a meaningful smile on his face. "I just hope that this time, the knight won't be alone."

"Alone..." Eric repeated silently, quickly realizing that he was referring to the young knight in "Emily's Love".

"However," Morian continued, discussing the feasibility, "to arrange for Ms. Laurent's safe departure, especially to a completely unfamiliar country, requires a detailed plan."

"I understand," Eric said calmly. "Although Diana is unable to return to the White Rose Palace due to her mental health issues, there are still people monitoring her residence."

"I'm afraid the royal family won't allow her to return to the palace until the ceremony is over, so you must find a suitable reason to take her away quietly."

As he spoke, Eric pondered:

Paul will provide assistance throughout the entire process, including the route out of the kingdom, arrangements for the new identity, and matters upon arrival; he will prepare all of these in advance.

"What you need to do is escort her away discreetly at the right time."

After hearing what the prince had to say, Morian immediately fell into thought.

Leaving aside what disguise he should adopt and what pretext he should use to legitimately take Diana away under the watchful eyes of the royal family.

The biggest problem is how to persuade the other party to leave the Kingdom of Hiran and the object they are protecting?

She must know the inside story of the ritual, otherwise her beliefs wouldn't have wavered. Ordinary excuses are more likely to arouse suspicion.

If you were to explain this directly to Diana, given her personality, she would almost certainly refuse to leave, and might even resort to force to stop you, rather than try to escape on her own.

Amidst his swirling thoughts, Morian heard the prince's voice lighten slightly:

"You can discuss the specific arrangements with Paul later."

Eric suddenly changed the subject and smiled:

"I haven't finished paying for the last commission yet. Besides the agreed-upon gold pounds, there's also a magical item."

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and several servants dressed in royal robes pushed in three tables covered with velvet cloth and stopped beside the two of them.

On each table is an item that emits a different luster and a faint spiritual fluctuation.

Not only did they offer magical items as a reward, but they also provided three options at the same time. What a generous offer! Morian took a silent breath when he saw this.

Eric turned his gaze to the table, raised his left hand, and began to introduce the topic with a casual yet elegant gesture:

"Here are three different magical items, some from my personal collection and others from the royal family. As a reward, you can choose any one of them."

He first pointed to the leftmost item, a palm-sized dark silver bracelet with fine patterns engraved on its surface.

"This magical item is called 'The Whisperer's Oath,' and it has two effects," Eric explained calmly. "After use, you can interrupt a target's extraordinary ability once. In addition, it can reduce the wearer's damage from three attacks, but the reduction effect will depend on the level of both parties."

"It should be noted that this item can only be activated once a day. Activating it too many times may damage it."

Eric then turned his gaze to the center, where a "short sword" made of soft light was placed. The blade was only about half a meter long, or perhaps even less.

"Its name is 'Radiance,' and it has a significant restraining and purifying effect on beings with attributes such as darkness and the undead."

"The item's effect is that every time you hit an enemy while holding it, it will accumulate a silent 'count.' When the number of hits reaches a certain number, the enemy will suffer a considerable burst of damage."

"The exact number of hits still needs to be explored, and the number of hits should be recorded at all times during use."

Finally, he looked at the item on the far right.

Here is a dark red, fingerless boxing glove, its surface covered with tiny barbs, with a faint dark red sheen.

Unlike traditional boxing gloves, which are bulky and designed to reduce the risk of injury to opponents, these gloves are very small and fit snugly against the entire fist when worn.

"And this item is called 'The Grip of Thorns'," Eric said to himself. "When the wearer is attacked, it can return a portion of the damage to the attacker, but the return percentage is not very high."

"At the same time, each hit from the gauntlets will inflict a continuous 'burning' effect on the enemy, causing slow but steady damage and pain."

After the introductions, Eric smiled slightly and gestured for the items to be presented.

"They each have their own strengths and advantages. Please choose one according to your needs; it's what you deserve."

They all sound pretty good… Morian nodded thoughtfully, his gaze sweeping over the three items.

From the most direct perspective, the "Whisperer's Oath" should be the most practical, combining control and defense.

But Morian examined himself and found that he was not particularly lacking in defensive and control methods, and even possessed a number of abilities to flexibly evade attacks.

What's most urgently needed right now are offensive magical items.

The "Thorn Grip" item, with its effect of reflecting damage and causing continuous burning, is undoubtedly a powerful tool for protracted and attrition warfare.

However, this means that you need to engage in close combat with the enemy, and the damage output is not direct or fast enough. When facing a strong enemy, you will still lack the ability to break through their defenses.

Considering his recent battle with Diana and the "Guardian Knight's" impenetrable defense, Morian sincerely felt that he still lacked explosive offensive methods.

The "Blazing White Spear" struggles against enemies with strong defenses, and the output of both the Alchemy Bullet and the Rainbow Dagger depends on creating the right conditions.

Ultimately, his gaze fell upon the short sword in the middle, which was undoubtedly the most lacking element in the current tactical system.

This "Radiance" weapon should have a strong burst effect, especially against less agile enemies, as it can quickly accumulate hits.

In addition, its purifying effects, combined with the badges given by the church, may have a miraculous effect in certain situations.
