Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

As Ethan entered, the first thing that caught his attention was the lone spear displayed in the corner of the room.

King Austen had purposely left this spear behind, knowing that Ethan liked to use spears.

"Navigator\'s Spear?" Ethan muttered as he checked the information in the display case of the weapon.

————————————

— This Adamantine spear will always return to its owner once it is thrown.

— It also has a secondary ability that, if activated, will force the spear to point North.

— This spear was once used by a famous explorer when he was still traveling the world.

— The Navigator\'s spear is perfect for those who like to go on long adventures!

————————————

Ethan assumed King Austen had personally written the description that was plastered on the casing.

The King\'s penmanship was very elegant and easy to read.

Edmond, who was also inside the treasury, thought that Ethan would choose to take the spear.

However, after the young man read the information, he didn\'t even give it a second glance.

At the moment, Ethan did not need another spear that would return to him once it was thrown. He already had Arehadbhair and the Sea God\'s Trident, and both could do that.

As for its second ability of always pointing North, Sebastian had a similar ability, so the spear\'s function was simply redundant, even if it was made from Adamantine.

The young man checked all the artifacts one by one until he saw what looked like a black collar with a golden gem on it.

However, what made this particular accessory quite interesting was that the gem had a whitish color at its center, forming a split, similar to a cat\'s eye.

——————————

— The body of this collar is made from the scales of a black dragon, and the gem that has been used to decorate it is a Heliodor Gem.

— This collar was commissioned by a Dragon Slayer Witch as a gift to her pet cat.

— It has two unique abilities. The first ability allows the Creature that wears it to be immune to any and all Mind Affecting Magic.

— The second ability allows the Creature to pinpoint the exact location of its Master, as long as they have marked the gem with a drop of their blood.

— Although this artifact was said to have only two abilities, there were reports that the gem was imbued by some kind of Life Magic, ensuring that its wearer would retain their health and rarely get sick.

As to whether these reports were true or not, no one really knows. However, this gem would be a perfect gift for your pets, allowing them to get closer to you.

P.S

— This can be worn by Demi-Humans as well. Just make sure to not call it a Pet Collar or they might beat you up!

——————————

Ethan chuckled after reading the information about the artifact called, Eyes On Me.

Truth be told, he felt a bit bad about not being able to buy a souvenir from this trip for Lilith, who was always with him.

Since there was now a perfect artifact in front of him that he could gift his protector, he didn\'t hesitate to ask the King to give it to him as a reward.

"Are you sure that you want this?" King Austen asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Ethan replied.

The King then glanced in Nicole\'s direction, who was still looking for a treasure that she would be bringing back to the academy.

After making sure that the young lady was a good distance away from them, King Austen whispered something in Ethan\'s ear.

"Are you planning to give this to one of your lovers?" King Austen asked. "Just know that this is meant for pets."

"Don\'t worry, Your Majesty," Ethan replied. "I plan to give it to a cat."

"A cat? Well, that cat must be very special then."

"She is very special."

Lilith, who was hiding inside Ethan\'s shadow, couldn\'t help but feel her cheeks burn because she had seen and heard everything.

She was quite happy that this accessory could also be worn by Humans because she would be extremely sad if it broke once she had transformed into her Demi-human form.

A few minutes later, Nicole had finished choosing an artifact.

But her choice not only surprised Ethan but also King Austen and Edmond.

What Nicole chose was a pair of shoes that would allow her to walk on any liquid surfaces or bodies of water.

This meant that she could walk on rivers, lakes, and the sea if she wished.

There was a secondary effect to the shoes as well, which would allow her to skate on the water\'s surface as if she were skating on ice.

Although finding it unusual, since Nicole had chosen this pair of magical shoes, the King awarded them to her without any questions asked.

After they had received their rewards, the King invited them to eat dinner with his family.

Since the two teenagers would return to Brynhildr Academy in the morning, he decided to spend a little more time with the two people who had been marked by the Will of the Sword of Light.

Also, knowing that a few people might target the two of them on their return trip, Edmond planned to accompany them back to the academy to ensure their safety.

He was certain that Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret would give him an earful if something were to happen to their two precious students who had ditched their studies for a few days in order to attend their ballroom party.

Inside Ethan\'s Room…

After making sure to lock the door, Ethan called out to Lilith to give her the pet collar that he received from the King.

The Black Cat jumped out of Ethan\'s shadow and obediently sat in front of him.

However, she was unable to hide her excitement, her tail quivering behind her.

Ethan gently placed the collar around her neck, enjoying the smoothness of her fur.

Since the collar was imbued with magic that automatically adjusted itself to fit its wearer, it shrank itself into a perfect fit.

"Thank you, Master," Lilith said in a very sweet voice. "I promise to take care of it for the rest of my life."

"I\'m glad you like it," Ethan replied before picking up the black cat and walking towards the couch.

Once there, he sat on top of it and placed Lilith on his lap.

The young man then pricked his finger, drawing a drop of blood from it before wiping it on the gem on Lilith\'s collar, activating the magic imbued on it.

The black cat immediately felt a strong connection to her Master, which made her feel that she had taken one more step to becoming closer to him.

After activating the effect of the collar, the young man lightly patted Lilith\'s body, eliciting a purr.

Sebastian and Ethan\'s Other Half gave each other a knowing glance but didn\'t say anything.

Ethan was still not aware that Lilith could transform into a Catkin because she asked the girls, who had seen her true form, to keep it a secret.

She didn\'t plan to tell Ethan about this for the time being because she believed that Ethan wouldn\'t casually touch her like this if he knew that she wasn\'t a pure cat, but a Catkin in disguise.

Still, she wished that day would soon come so that she would be able to hug him to sleep and feel his warmth just like his lovers did.
