Chapter 1202 Viewing from Another Lens
After spending over quarter of a day showing Valyr how the mechanics behind his concept of precognition worked, Jekyll continued to teach the young man more things about the skill he'd obtained, specifically the other ways he was able to use the skill.
Considering the ingenuity that went behind the first ability Jekyll showed him, it went without saying that Valyr committed the information the man shared with him to memory.
After all, as long as he continued to improve his control and proficiency over [Warrior's Eyes of Slaughter], he would also be able to use the abilities Jekyll showed him.
'Then again, I'm pretty sure it'll take me quite some time before I reach a similar level of proficiency to what he showed me.'
Undeterred by the thought, Valyr continued to absorb the information Jekyll was giving him on the skill, only to then bring up the topic of applying the skill into blacksmithing with Jekyll at some point.
Of course, with how [Gambler's Discerning Eyes] and [Hunter's Tracking Eyes] more or less became a staple skill he activated whenever he forged or modified equipment, the young man was more than confident that the upgraded version of the skill would also mesh well with his entire forging process.
However, when he mulled over the fact that the skill now gave him the ability to create vital spots out of thin air, a couple of ideas related to the concept forging began to pop up in his mind.
With that, he thought that it would be a good idea to share those thoughts with Jekyll, hoping to obtain his insight on what he could possibly do or improve to make those ideas work. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Though, in reality, once the topic came up, it was as if the two of them worked as equals, exchanging information back and forth between them as they slowly delved deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole they themselves created.
Surprisingly, the amount of time they spent discussing the application of the skill from a forging perspective lasted longer than the exchange they did for Jekyll's concept of precognition, with the two finishing their discussion by the time the sun was its peak at once more.
Then again, the only reason why they stopped was because they felt they'd already covered most, if not all of the things to keep in mind a couple of times. If not for that, then they would've probably continued their discussion until night fell once more.
"I'll keep that in mind," said Valyr in response, thanking Jekyll for his offer. "But I think I've got it all sorted out."
Hearing those words, Jekyll briefly looked at the young man in confusion, only to then understand what the latter was hinting at. "Ah, right."
"You do have the strength, after all."
As Valyr faintly smiled in response to Jekyll's words, the two continued to dig into their respective meals in silence, devouring what would normally feed a family of three in just a bit over ten minutes.
After that, the two of them decided to add one another to each other's friend lists, especially after Jekyll mentioned to Valyr that there was still one part of his legacy that he had yet to obtain.
"Of course, that'll only be available once you comprehend a Force," said the man to him, heading their separate ways after that.
Watching Jekyll's silhouette gradually disappear from his field of vision, a slight smile began to creep up on Valyr's face as a familiar face appeared in front of him.
"I'm guessing your talk with the Northern Star was fruitful?"
"Definitely." Valyr nodded in agreement, letting out a chuckle soon after. "I'm guessing you're here to talk about what happened yesterday?"
"Was I that obvious?" asked Hal back, letting out a bit of laughter after that.
However, not even a second after he was done laughing, the man looked at Valyr with a serious expression, his face containing a hint of concern. "But seriously though..."
"What are you planning to do?"
