Chapter 1096: A Different Kind of Absurd
"...I've definitely gotten a lot more than I was expecting."
Whoosh!
Stepping through the rift that brought him back to his plot of land, Valyr briefly thought back through everything he'd done while in the inheritance.
After he was done mulling over the memories he'd obtained and its connection to Vaughn's plans and the Shard of Defiance that was embedded in his mind, the young man then paid a brief visit to Ecalos to meet up with Ryvrthe and the others.
Once there, he talked with Ryvrthe regarding the plot of land he'd bought and their plans of gradually moving all of the Forsaken Ones back into Veldanyr.
Naturally, the two also talked about the plans they'd made in the past, which eventually made the young man think about heading to the Blacksmith Guild after he returned to Veldanyr. "Though I'm curious as to why that man ultimately has something to do with Vaughn's plans, I know for a fact that I'm not yet at a level high enough to obtain such information," said Valyr to himself as he briefly thought back to the train of thought he had earlier.
"I don't even know where to start looking for that."
"Well... I could always ask Vaughn more about it, but that would just attract its attention," said the young man as he continued to think out loud. "If anything, I should probably reach the requirements needed to make full use of the Shard of Defiance first before doing that." "Now that I think about it, I haven't taken a look at the description of the skill I just got," continued Valyr as he decided to pay a visit to Jacques before heading to the Blacksmith Guild. Activating [Flight of the Azure Dragon], the young man soon began to zoom through the dark skies, his attention now focused on the screen he'd brought up.
Ding!
[Eyes of the Sagacious One] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
Most of the description has been omitted.
Knowing that this exhaustion stemmed from having his HP and MP being consumed, the young man went ahead and brought up his screen, only to be greeted by the sight of his HP and his various energies be all at one point each.
"...Damn." Being given a grim reminder that he might possibly die if he were to force himself to try using it again, Valyr decided to lock the skill up for now, thinking that he would need to at least be at the level of a Legend before trying to use it again.
Grabbing one of the Intermediate-level health and mana potions he'd concocted back in the Mystic Plane from his spatial bracelet, the young man did not hesitate to consume the two of them in one go as he arrived where Jacques was not long after.
...
"So, how did the visit to your new plot of land go?"
After telling Jacques to keep up the good work while also making a promise to make him a forging hammer, it went without saying that Valyr made his way to the Blacksmith Guild after his talks with Ryvrthe reminded him of some stuff.
Giving Julian a heads-up through a couple of messages along the way, Valyr eventually decided to head straight for the man's workshop after getting a reply that the man was still there at such a late time.
"Well, some of the plans will have to go through a couple of changes," said the young man in response to Julian's question. "However, most of them would probably have no problems being implemented."
"I think it'd be better if you paid a visit personally," continued Valyr, to which Julian pondered over for a bit.
"I'll try to pay a visit sometime in the future, but no promises," said the man after some time, only to then shift the topic to something else. "Anyways, what brings you to the Blacksmith Guild late at night? Surely, it's not just to talk to me about your land, right?"
"Of course not." Valyr shook his head before giving Julian a playful smile. "If anything, I have
a question."
"Does the Blacksmith Guild perhaps have an Elder Wyvern Core available?"
