Chapter 57 Ancient Relic
\'This is a blueprint or a blueprint record book.\' Alex thought after seeing a big book with at least a thousand pages.
After Alex checked the book using the system, he saw an unbelievable sight.
-----------------
Name: Armageddon
Blueprint: Flying Warship
Quality: Unique (???)
Grade: (????)
Description: A Relic of the past designed by an unknown architect.
-----------------
\'Guilds Would go to war to acquire this blueprint.\' Alex thought with a broad smile seeing the blueprint.
\'I am Taking This.\' After checking the blueprint, Alex took it without any hesitation.
\'Now, I don\'t care if Duke Harold regrets giving me this blueprint or not because I am more than satisfied with my reward.\' Alex thought as he walked toward Duke Harold with the blueprint in his hand.
"Mr.One, You decided on the item you want from my collection." Duke Harold asked.
"Sir Harold, I have decided on this blueprint as my reward," Alex said, showing Duke Harold the flying ship blueprint to let him know what he would be missing from his collection.
"I would suggest you should not take this blueprint as your reward because it is the most useless thing in my collection." Duke Harold said.
"This is the Flying Warship blueprint. How could it be the worst item in your collection?" Alex asked, knowing Duke Harold was not stopping him from taking the blueprint.
"This is a Flying Warship blueprint that could, in theory, build a complete warship that could rival or even surpass the best warship available on the human continent, but that is just in theory."
Duke Harold\'s words were confusing, but they only excited Alex to have this item for himself.
"Let me rephrase my words more accurately; it is impossible to build a working warship using that blueprint." Duke Harold said, making his explanation clear.
\'I am taking this no matter what kind of story you tell me.\' Alex thought as his heart danced with excitement and his imagination ran wild.
Alex was not choosing anything other as his reward after hearing that this blueprint could build a Flying warship that could surpass the mighty flying warship of the White Flame Empire named the "White DOOMSDAY."
"Kid, I am sorry to break your little fantasy, but a ship built using this blueprint would be just an art piece, and that is if you can find the resources and people required to build one." Duke Harold said, shaking his head like knowing what Alex was imagining.
"I don\'t believe finding rare resources, or people capable enough to build this warship would be impossible," Alex said.
"Let\'s believe for a moment that you somehow built the ship but using it would still be impossible."
"The blueprint design of the warship is no doubt a masterpiece that could easily surpass the White Doomsday Warship of the Empire as that calamity was built using this blueprint as the base."
\'WHAT THE FU**.\'
\'Wait a minute.\'
\'Did he just say what I think he said?\'
"Kid, don\'t be so surprised; it\'s not a secret, and if you read some history books, you would know what I am talking about." Duke Harold said, seeing Alex\'s confusion.
"Do You know how White Empire came into existence and what made it possible for them to conquer the whole human continent?" Duke Harold asked, seeing Alex waiting for him to explain.
"The White Doomsday Warships was the weapon that the Empire used to become the absolute monarch of the human continent," Alex answered.
Alex has read about the human continent\'s history in his previous life and knew that it was a hell hole two hundred years ago, with multiple wars happening on the continent, killing thousands of humans every day.
There were more than ten kingdoms, and everyone was waging war for the complete supremacy of the continent, and White Flame Empire at that time was just one of ten kingdoms.
It all changed when they used ancient blueprints to build the devastating weapon of mass destruction, the White Doomsday Warship.
After the creation of the warship, the white flame empire conquered the whole continent in less than two decades and became the absolute monarch of the human continent.
"The Empire used the Armageddon flying warship blueprints as the base to build their warship, which was two hundred years ago."
"Why would the Empire make a cheap copy and not the real deal," Alex asked.
"The Empire built the warship, but as I said, it is impossible to use the real Armageddon warship, so they used it as the base to build their own version without any of its flaws." Duke Harold explained.
"What made it impossible to use the warship," Alex asked, as he was now very intrigued by the warship that even the empire could use.
"It required an immense amount of refined Mana to work, which is impossible to provide by anyone in the whole world."
"The First Armageddon warship took the entire mana of ten Eight Rank warriors just to start its engine for four minutes." Duke Harold said for Alex to digest his words.
"Ten Real Eight Rank Warrior, the people who could destroy this whole city and still have enough mana to do ten more times," Alex asked to see if he understood the words correctly.
"Yes, Ten Real Eight Rank Warrior."
"You still want to take the blueprint as your reward?" Duke Harold asked.
"How many copies of Armageddon warship blueprints are out in the world?" Alex didn\'t answer but asked his own question.
"There are a total of seven known copies of Armageddon warship blueprint, and I acquired mine in my younger days." Duke Harold answered.
"Kid, you have good potential, and as your elder, I would advise you to choose something that could help you in your adventurer." Duke Harold said, giving Alex good advice.
\'There are only seven known copies, and all of them should be owned by elites of the world, and my chances to acquire one from them should be minuscule.\'
"I will choose the Armageddon warship blueprint as my reward."
Alex chose the blueprint because he knew that everything in Duke Harold\'s collection could be acquired through other means.
Alex didn\'t want to regret not choosing the blueprint in the near future, as he knew acquiring the Armageddon warship blueprint from someone other than Duke Harold would be close to zero.
"Kid, It\'s your choice, so I won\'t stop you from choosing the blueprint as your reward." Duke Harold said, not stopping Alex from taking the warship blueprint.
"Sir Harold, for the generous reward," Alex said, putting the blueprint in his inventory.
"Kid, you couldn\'t find any use for the blueprint; I am always a buyer for the blueprints." Duke Harold said, walking toward the stone door to open the exit portal.
--------------------
\'I got incredible rewards for completing such an easy mission.\' Alex thought as he left the Duke\'s mansion.
\'I should buy the secure inventory and place the things I don\'t want to lose if I got myself killed.\'
The secure inventory was an option provided by the system to every player, but it needed to be activated by paying a one-time fee of one hundred gold coins.
As its name suggests, the secure inventory function was for a player to store items that would never drop, no matter the condition.
The secure inventory provided awesome benefits but also had a major restriction as the item stored in it could not be taken out outside a city.
After Alex bought the secure inventory option, he stored every item he didn\'t want to drop in the unfortunate event of his death.
\'Now I need to log out and talk with Docter Elmer to know if he discovered anything wrong with Sophia\'s MRI Scan.\' Alex thought as he walked toward his hotel.
After reaching his hotel room, Alex took out the guest\'s Noble badge to bind it with him before he logged out of the game.
The Moment Alex used his blood on the badge, it shined for a moment before becoming normal, and within just seconds, he received system notifications informing him of his new noble status.

"Well, I just become a Noble on the whole human continent." Alex thought after he checked the description of the titles he gained.
The title was good, and their description was probably the biggest in the game as it explained every benefit Alex gets for being a Noble.
The simplest benefits were that Alex could buy land in any city, build a mansion, and even build a castle and recruit his private army, but the best thing was he didn\'t have to fulfill any noble duties to gain all these benefits.
\'It would be cool to build a giant castle and recruit an army of soldiers, but I am not doing it because it will cost a ludicrous amount of money to maintain it.\'
