A few minutes after the golem exploded
*cough* *cough*
Tirus was lying on the ground with most of his bones broken due to the impact, the thing that shocked him the most was his now gone right arm, which was completely obliterated in the previous explosion.
"Argh!…A.I. chip, numb my pain receptors!" Tirus ordered the A.I. chip as soon as he saw it, the pain was simply too unbearable.
[Beep! Host's pain receptors have been numbed]
"What is the current condition of my body?"
[Beep! Task established…calculating data…]
[Name: Tirus Van Elrod, Occupation: grand knight, rank 3 acolyte, strength: 6.2, agility: 8.4, vitality: 2 (7.3) spiritual force: 11.6 (magic power is in sync with spiritual force) status: severely wounded]
"The defensive treasure, sunlight ruby, has also been destroyed…and so is the academy badge on the uniform."
"Just great…really" Tirus thought as he forcefully moved his left hand to bring out a healing potion.
After consuming the healing potion, his wounds and broken bones started to mend at an astonishing rate.
"Has Hakwe gone missing? Or has it been destroyed?" He thought as he tried to feel the connection between him and his contracted beast, but he couldn't. This meant that Hawke had been destroyed.
"Rick is also dead, and Bilan should be dead as well. Now I can get the full inheritance, that's one great thing that happened to me here." He thought.
After a few minutes, when he felt that his bones had fully healed, he got up and started moving towards the next room.
The room was quite spacious and at the end of the room was an entrance to a secret plane and the method to enter the secret plane was just written on a nearby wall in the form of a puzzle, but thanks to the A.I. chip he quickly solved the puzzle in no time at all.
Without further ado, he entered the secret plane.
In the secret plane was a room as big as of any ordinary house. And there was also a huge garden attached to it.
In the middle of the room was a desk with tens of books and tools for potioneering.
"These books…they are mostly about the subject of soul….and what is this demonic zombie transformation? And this is the information about Bio warrior cultivation!"
There was also a huge black chest nearby, when Tirus opened it he saw two simple looking black rings.
"These rings, both of them, are high grade magical treasures!" He exclaimed in shock.
"A.I. chip, scan them!"
[Beep! Task established…calculating data]
[Ring of the night
High-grade magic treasure
Increases user's spiritual force recovery rate by 40%]
"What about the other one?"
[Storage ring
High grade magical treasure
Can be used to store items. Currently, 30% filled]
"What's in it?" Tirus got curious as he bit his thumb and poured his blood on the rings as he started reciting an incantation to refine magical treasures.
After a minute, both rings were refined by him. He wore both of them in his left and right index fingers respectively. He tried inspecting the storage ring and what he saw left him completely awestruck.
"So many magic crystals! And nearly all of them are of high grade."
"A.I. chip, how many magic crystals are here exactly?"
[Calculating…. A total of 30 million high grade magic crystals have been found, 1 million of them are dark energy magic crystals]
"This was, in the end, worth the trouble!" Tirus rejoiced as stored all the books inside the storage ring and made his way to the garden.
At the end of the garden was a memorial tablet with 'Robert' written on it. After he paid his respects by bowing his head slightly, a door to an underground lab opened.
"As I thought, this was also one of the tests!"
Entering the laboratory, he saw a very thick black nameless book and an oil painting of a giant shrouded in darkness was on the wall.
"Wait… I remember something like this happening in the canon. Ah! Now I remember, this was how Leylin got his high-grade meditation technique."
He opened the extremely thick, nameless black book and started storing information at a rapid speed thanks to the A.I. chip.
[Information sort is in progress…. Deleting useless information obtained the real content from the nameless black book]
[1,100 pages of travel notes, 780 experiment notes,1 rank 0 flight spell model, 12 rank 1 spell models, 8 rank 2 spell models, 2 rank 3 spell models!]
[Potion formulas of three ancient potions Tears of Mary, Thamion's essence and Daelop's blood obtained]
[2 secret techniques obtained]
[Location of a teleportation formation connected to an area called 'Twilight Zone' obtained]
"Great, awesome!" Tirus had never been this happy in his life before, getting so many treasures one after another left him with an inexpressible feeling.
After recording the contents of the nameless book, Tirus went straight to the oil painting, and the closer he got to the oil painting, the brighter the light emitted from his two rings became.
[Beep! A large amount of information is being sent directly to the host's mind. Accept Yes/No]
"Yes." Tirus commanded the A.I. chip as a large amount of information flooded his mind. It was the high-grade meditation 'record of the nameless wanderer' with a total of 6 levels. Aside from the last, 6th level, which was incomplete, all the other levels were complete and were even somewhat improved by the one who set this inheritance up.
"Looks like he also got this technique from an inheritance, when he got older and had abandoned all hopes of advancing any further, he started improving the meditation technique for the future inheritor, thus changing its original name to 'record of the nameless wanderer', makes sense.
And by the looks of it, he cultivated this technique till the 4th level, which means he was a peak rank 3 magus by the end of his life, huh"
[The technique 'record of the nameless wanderer' is a dark element high-grade meditation technique. Increases practitioner's affinity to dark and fire element particles. Cultivation speed is fast yet extremely stable]
The A.I. chip gave its analysis of the technique.
"The herbs that were in the garden are the main ingredients for the ancient potions. There's enough to last me until I reach the peak of rank 2."
"Though this information also states that the secret plane will only exist for another next 3 days, after that, it will get destroyed. Well, but that only saves me the trouble, it's best if all the evidences of me surviving gets destroyed."
Currently, Tirus had decided that he'd cultivate in seclusion while laying low until he reaches rank 2, for which he needed to fake his death.
After reaching rank 2, he'd go to the twilight zone.
"But for now, I should think about the current situation." Tirus fell into deep contemplation as he made his way out of the underground lab and stored all the herbs there were in the garden as well as the tens of books on the room's desk and started making preparations for potioneering.
