Why would such a wise being put forth a choice when he knew that everyone would choose the treasure when they fight very hard for it? The value of the single treasure is far higher than all the treasures combined in the tower. This much, everyone agrees.
What if this all were mind games, like the final test of the trial? Kael's mind became a mess due to overthinking all of a sudden.
He shut his eyes and calmly thought about everything. Even after five minutes of silence, Zurin didn't seem like he was in any hurry to hear his answer. Zurin patiently waited in silence, staring at him with a smile.
Kael opened his eyes. His mind became clear now, and the choice has been made.
"I choose the remaining weapons." He spoke aloud.
Zurin's expression shifted, his glowing eyes narrowing slightly. He hadn't expected this. "You... choose everything else?" he asked, his voice filled with surprise.
