Chương 34: Choosing an artifact! Youngest to join?

The stairway was not too long and they both soon came into a room with black tiles.

Oliver could not believe that there was such a space present in such a building and most likely this room was built using space manipulation using espera.

He felt all of his senses were blocked in this room; he could not even feel Jenna who was right in front of his eyes.

"Take any one of the artifacts present in that area. All of them are Rare-ranked artifacts," Jenna simply said and pointed to a corner of the room where a bunch of instruments were placed in an orderly manner with name tags underneath or beside them.

Oliver did not stand on ceremony and quickly went over to take a look and get an artifact for himself.

"You have so many…" he could not help but say.

Jenna, who heard his awe, crossed her hands under her chest as she said with a hint of arrogance, "Of course. Who do you think I am?"

Looking at her, Oliver suddenly felt that she seemed somewhat gullible.

Although she still had that aura of superiority and power around her, looking at her actions and listening to her words, he was not sure if she was gullible or he was a fool.

Earlier, she offered him an artifact to join the Black Codex Federation, which made him feel she really wanted him there.

But he could not understand why?

Was it for his appraisal ability that she seemed to think he had?

If so, then she shouldn't have been like this; he knew how many great artifact makers and experts were a part of the Black Codex Federation.

He was just a little kid.

Not to mention, he had no clue about her from the novel, so it was likely that she was also some random side-character like him.

A powerful side-character who belonged to a super organization but never met or interacted with the protagonists of the novel.

'And I also don't have an impressive espera either… I would say my espera is as low as that of a normal human.'

He thought that there was no way that she sensed he had an abnormal espera for his tender age either since he didn't have any to boast and for her to sense.

And although he had a great amount of physical strength, he had not done anything for her to know of it either.

He knew that he would not receive the invitation to join such a big organization for no reason. There had to be a deeper reason.

But since he had no clue about it, he was just rolling with the situation since joining the organization was in his good at the moment.

There were many things in life that people had no control over and had to adjust accordingly.

He also knew that not everything would occur as he wanted it to… there would be differences and he was preparing himself to be prepared to face those.

He looked at the numerous Rare Rank Artifacts and used [Cosmic Void Gaze] and confirmed that all of them were 100% real.

He looked at them one by one and their descriptions.

A bronze-headed mace that dealt twice the damage than a normal one…

A cloth keeper crop that was created for defense, looked quite old and had a long list of previous owners…

A copper Scythe for practical use, has the ability to harvest espera from flora and fauna to a limited degree…

A Marble-Headed War Hammer capable of shattering robust shields and bones with a stun effect…

A Cursed Sickle that cannot be sheathed until it has killed, bloodthirsty and a dark artifact like that medal…

'I don't need these… I want something that can be incorporated into my daily life so that others don't even suspect it to be an artifact… these artifact weapons seem too big and flashy.'

He withdrew his gaze and looked more and sorted out the artifacts that could be used in daily life and look ordinary in appearance.

After a full ten minutes of endless search, he finally managed to sort out 3 top choices that he could use.

[The Wrap of Quantum Darkness], as the name suggests it allows the owner to manipulate the element of darkness to conceal presence but use depends on the mastery of owner.

[Energizing Sun Shoes], shoes that can absorb solar energy and grant the wearer an enhancement in speed and agility, further boost when exposed to sunlight. Movements become fluid and swift.

And lastly, an Artifact named [Helm of Wings] which allowed its owner to fly for a short duration and some protection from projectiles providing defense in battles.

'Hmm…' Oliver wanted all of them but knew he could not have all of them.

After thinking hard for another minute, he looked at Jenna and then said while holding the artifact.

"I want this."

Jenna raised a brow at his choice of artifact.

"Well then, come with me. Since now that you are an official member of the Black Codex Federation, there are some things you need to keep in mind."

She said in her serious and strict tone, her black hair flowing behind her back as she walked back upwards and sat down at her desk.

He quietly followed her back to the office room. He couldn't help but ask her once again.

"Wouldn't my age be a hindrance while joining the organization, Boss Su?"

Oliver nicknamed her as "Boss Su," short for her surname Sullivan.

Jenna who heard him dismissed his worry as she replied, "No. Age is just a number for us exorcists; we could extend our lives by hundreds of years easily and still maintain youth. The youngest to join the organization was as old as 13 years due to their ability. So you will be just a little younger."

Oliver was speechless. Didn't that mean that he has become the youngest ever to join the Black Codex Federation?

He shook his head, she was indeed correct. Exorcists didn't have ordinary lifespans of humans but could live as long as they continue to get stronger. The stronger an exorcist was, the greater their lifespan.
