Chapter 118 Memory Crystal
At the end of the day, even Liam thought that 2500 Arcanium was a pretty high price for some information about a region.
The Arcane Apocalypse had just begun which meant that an entire region could be turned upside down in an instant. Nonetheless, Liam paid the price willingly. He knew that he was in need of the information he would obtain, and it was an investment that might actually save his life a few times.
He could avoid various monsters with one or two Arcane circles, and circle around a place that shouldn't be visited with his equipment and strength. Furthermore, he could earn back his investment and even make a big profit by visiting places with rare monsters, whose corpses could be sold for a small fortune.
The detailed information should also be enough to tell him about the topography of the Jula Valley and the surrounding regions. He would get to know details about the unique places that had been altered by Arcane Power as well.
Thus, all-in-all, Liam was pretty sure that he had done the right thing, especially because the smithies and the remaining Saphirate Crystals had just been sold, increasing his wealth to more than 3,000 Arcanium at once!
Liam looked at Felicia, expecting her to start feeling a headache soon. He was not sure how the information would be given to her, but he expected her Soultrait to flood her mind with the things she had requested.
However, contrary to his expectations, Felicia didn't feel anything. She spent the 2500 Arcanium Liam had sent over to her, and a white prismarine crystal began to form in her hands.
"A Memory Crystal? Well, that's certainly helpful," Liam muttered. Felicia looked at him in confusion but she handed him the Memory Crystal, or whatever it was, which he accepted gratefully.
"What's a Memory Crystal?" Jennie asked, feeling confused, which earned her an expression from Liam, that she would rather not see.
'Are you an idiot?'
That was what his gaze seemed to convey to her. Jennie pressed her lips together and she gloomily looked to the ground.
"It's a crystal that stores memories…" Liam answered as if he was explaining to a five-year-old. She turned red in embarrassment and felt like hiding behind the moon where nobody would be able to find her. As long as she could avoid being looked at like this, any kind of hideout was fine.
Olivia and Felicia snickered when they saw how Jennie reacted. Jennie was a bit of an airhead, but this question was over the top.
After all, it was unlikely that a Memory Crystal was a Bow, an Animal, or something else. What else but a crystal that stored memories could it be with a name like this?
Liam smiled lightly at her reaction as well. However, he quickly regained his focus and crushed the Memory Crystal to absorb the information he had requested.
"Wow…" Liam blurted out through his gritted teeth. He was a little baffled. The pieces of information he received were much more detailed than expected, and a lot more abundant than he could have hoped for. The flood of information was enough to make him feel a headache and to rapidly drain him of his mental strength.
Blood began to trickle down his nose and he stumbled once.
"This is the real stuff. The good stuff!" Liam exclaimed, his royal purple eyes glowing brightly.
The information didn't assimilate into Liam's mind immediately. It first wreaked havoc inside him, trying to crush his Will Power to turn him into a vegetable afterward. But he did not give in and endured the devastating amount of information that was imprinted deep into his mind to never be forgotten.
His Will was powerful, but even then, Liam felt a little helpless.
'A little bit more, and my mind would have been crushed…'
He swallowed his saliva and looked at the notification screen that had formed in his head.
[The Host's unbreakable Will endured the influx of 105,135 pieces of information without sustaining any mental damage. This is a great achievement. The Host's Will has been fortified!]
[The Host's Will increased.]
[The Host's Will increased.]
'This system is playing with me, isn't it?'
"It's late already. We will depart tomorrow at dawn." Liam announced before he left.
There were numerous pieces of information that had to be assimilated, sorted, and stored in his mind neatly, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to access them properly. The information was related to everything of importance in and around the Jula Valley.
Liam got to know a lot about the valley and the surrounding regions. Most pieces of information were important, though there was also information that could be considered rather boring.
Nonetheless, everything might be useful in the future. Thus, analyzing the information and coming up with the next steps of a perfect plan was the last task for the day.
He had to figure out how to quickly find Jennie and Felicia's families and what to do afterward. The steps that followed were amongst the most important. Liam had to lay out a proper plan to achieve his long-term and short-term goals. This included, the usage of the Livral Orb to potentially awaken his Bloodlines.
Liam would feel much better knowing that he could easily obliterate his family without the need to awaken his Bloodline. Unfortunately, that was not the case. It was not as easy as it seemed at the first glance.
With the information he received from the Jula Valley and the surrounding regions, Liam figured that this place was a lot more valuable, and dangerous than it first seemed. Liam had yet to encounter a 1st Circle Monster but that was only a matter of time.
The information he received told him this quite clearly. It was actually surprising that he had not yet encountered a 1st Circle Monster.
He was not strong enough to deal with them yet either, not to face them head-on either way.
In fact, even with petty tricks, it would be extremely difficult to kill a 1st Circle monster while he was still ridiculously weak.
'Bloodline Awakening it is then!'
