Chapter 1188 Center of Attention

Whoosh!

"...Yeah. I think that's the last of it."

Retrieving what looked to be a metal shield from his spatial bracelet, Valyr tossed the shield into the large pile of items beside him before letting out a faint sigh of relief.

Seeing Julian in front of him turn frozen from the sheer number of equipment he brought out, the young man faintly recalled the incident from earlier before giving him a light tap on the shoulder.

"Hmm? Oh." Fortunately, that was more than enough to snap Julian back to reality, with the man looking at Valyr with a slightly apologetic smile. "That's all of it, right?"

"That's all of it, yes." Valyr nodded back, briefly checking on the contents of his spatial bracelet to see if he missed anything.

Though, after seeing that the only pieces of equipment left in his spatial bracelet were the ones he got from clearing the inheritance's trials, the young man soon returned his attention back to Julian as he faintly smiled.

With their purpose in the guild's storage now fulfilled, the two soon made their way back to Julian's private workshop, giving Valyr a bit of time to think about a couple of things as the man beside him was busy communicating with the guild's staff.

'I'm surprised that I was able to gather almost 2,000 pieces of equipment from those two caches,' thought Valyr to himself. 'After all, with how much time has passed, most of them should've turned to dust already.'

'Then again, if I also include the pieces of equipment I didn't grab since they didn't meet the criteria, the number of equipment would've definitely reached over 2,000.'

By the time Valyr was finished gathering all of the equipment within the Gates of Enlightenment's material cache, the number of equipment he'd gathered was around 1,400 pieces.

On the other hand, the material cache within the Gates of Ascension only amounted to about 400 pieces, though it made up for it with the fact that all of the equipment there were of higher quality and rarity.

Naturally, with the concept of the Triad Gates existing within the inheritance, it went without saying that Valyr also took a look at the Gates of Transcendence to see if it had a material cache.

However, unlike the time when he grabbed skills from the Gates of Transcendence, there were no material cache to speak of, nor any pieces of equipment that could be found whatsoever.

'Well, Vaughn did say the Gates of Transcendence was just a place in name,' murmured Valyr to himself, only for a different thought to surface in his mind. 'Speaking of which... should I grab the skills from the skill pavilions?'

By the time Valyr was done listing down what he wanted, the man had a great urge to ask him in return as to what he wanted them for.

Unfortunately, before the question could even leave his mouth... The young man had already disappeared from his field of vision.

Whoosh!

...

"With Julian taking care of those, I suppose it won't be long before I can upgrade my True Wyvern Armor to the next tier."

Appearing in Leivard Town once more through their Blacksmith Guild's Teleportation Hall, Valyr activated both [Flash of the Azure Dragon] and [Azure Dragon Soaring Skies] the moment he left, reminding himself that two days had passed while he was in the inheritance.

Whoosh!

"I wonder if they've forgotten about me." Moving through the skies at great speeds, Valyr thought out loud as he murmured to himself. "I've only met up with the players for one day so far, after all."

"Considering the difference in time between here and Earth, players only had like three hours to find the shop and interact with me."

"Add on the fact that I've spent the next two days after that in the inheritance, I wouldn't be surprised if many of them changed their thoughts as to what kind of NPC I am."

"Well, whatever their impression of me turns out to be, I'll try to turn it into something positive."

Letting out a long exhale at the thought, the young man soon focused all of his attention towards heading back to Daffors Village as quickly as possible, allowing his speed to go up by one more notch because of it.

With that, it took far less time for the young man than before to arrive at the entrance to the village, immediately noticing the large number of players moving around the outskirts of the village for monsters to hunt.

Moving past these groups of players, Valyr began to make his way to his shop as he thought about preparing something special in order for players to return their attention to him.

Though, by the time he got there, those thoughts disappeared from his mind, especially after noticing that a lot of players were loitering around the area, all of them seemingly waiting for his shop to open.

"This is..."
