Arthur contemplated the box before him for a moment, then leaned slightly forward, extending his hand to feel it.
It was made of heavy metal with a cold texture, adorned with engravings of various animals and beasts.
There was no visible lock, leading him to wonder if the lock itself was a hidden mechanism.
Arthur was no stranger to magical artifacts.
As the son of the viscount, albeit of lesser standing compared to his siblings, he received a good education and appropriate care.
He had seen many magical tools owned by his father. Although he couldn't use them, he understood their value.
He knew that a precious magical artifact isn't merely crafted; it requires a talented enchanter, significant investment of resources, and professional training from an early age to surpass the threshold of loss and achieve gains.
