There was no chapter yesterday, because it was a disastrous day, the power went out about 3 times here at home, the internet stopped working and is still having problems.
Simply a shitty day!
===
After the situation in the Throne Room, Juri was extremely relieved that everything went very well.
Luria was also relieved and when she met with Juri in private, she said nothing and just hugged her!
Juri smiled at her, but they did nothing, since they are in the palace and Juri is sure that a certain Ice Elemental is watching them.
So what followed, was Juri getting piles and piles of books, magic theories, information about Aura, knighting techniques and so on.
Juri saw hundreds of Skill Books, many similar, but somewhat different, as the Winter Kingdom has many centuries in history, the information collected over the years is no small amount.
There are techniques of various Elements here, data that many Mages around the world would kill to get their hands on.
Juri had to pack all this up and put it in boxes to store in his Inventory, because if he were to store it 1 by 1 in his Inventory, it would quickly take up all the space in his Inventory, which is not infinite!
Your Inventory has 10 Pages, each Page having 100 Inventory Spaces, capable of accommodating 999 items of the same type per space.
So to get around this, what Juri did was simple, he ordered boxes and put all the books inside neatly by category.
Then he threw them into his Inventory, which categorized them as [Crate with Books(??x)]!
Quantity was an important factor, as it would start to pile up in the same space if each crate had the same amount of books, in case of 1 or 2 books difference, it would start to take up another space.
So what Juri did was simple, Magic Theories, each Crate holds 45 Books.
Theories of Aura and Magical Strength, each Crate holds 46 Books.
Books of Knightly Techniques, each Crate holds 47 Books.
Books on Magical Spells, each Crate holds 48 Books.
Books on Alchemy, Magic Engineering, Forging and so on, each Crate holds 49 Books.
Books of Encyclopedias, Monster Information, Races, Kingdoms and etc., each Crate holds 50 Books.
There were many other random pieces of information, of which Juri threw in a few Crates of 44 Books each.
Juri easily has over 2,000 Books in his Inventory, after all on his back, it's a lot of stuff and it will take years for Juri to read it all!
'With this, my [Magical Knowledge] and [Mana Control] will skyrocket, not to mention I'll be able to know all about the [Magical Force] that turns into [Aura], this might even help me unlock [Chi]!' - Juri thought excitedly.
As for that [White Knight Manual] Juri asked to take a look at, Luria had no problem since only Winter Elves can learn it anyway and Juri doesn't have much knowledge of the area.
But Juri has the System and if she wants, just by consuming the book she can learn the Technique without a problem!
As for only Winter Elves being able to learn it? That doesn't matter to the System!
...
During Juri and Luria's stay in the palace, Neferu in his Ice Clone constantly called Juri over to talk.
He was curious about Juri's world, since the information he has at hand is stuff that entire nations would kill to have!
But what's worse, Juri made it very clear that this is the Basics!
Juri said that children start to learn this little by little from the age of 7.
Neferu was impressed with the level of schooling in Juri's world, having asked many questions and being shocked at their ability to, without any magic, be able to fly through the skies, as well as having stepped on the moon!
Of course, Juri limited his words so as not to say too much to Neferu, but he still gave many hints that Neferu memorized, since everything Juri says is very valuable knowledge!
And Juri even gave some tips on infrastructure, which would help with overpopulation and could better utilize his land.
Juri is talking about Apartment Buildings, it would be great if they exist.
Even if they don't have the technology of Earth, they have Magic and building large buildings that last for centuries is not a problem.
So Juri talked about how millions live inside Apartments and so on, which would be like inns, only cheaper and more prolonged dwellings.
Since the point of living in apartments is to live a long time, it could be something temporary like 1 or 2 years, before going somewhere else.
Not to mention that it is much cheaper than a house and cheaper than renting rooms in hostels and spending a lot of money.
Neferu liked this very much and has already gone to talk to many Nobles about it, even the Whinter Family has taken the trouble to install these new structures on their land, to see how it would work.
And finally, after 3 days, Juri and Luria left, because if they continued any longer, they would get involved in the internal war that is about to happen.
Luria certainly wanted to help her nation, kill the Occultists and avenge her parents, but she understood that she is weak!
Princess Priscilla is a powerful Magician, Neferu has taught her in the past, and her strength will be no less than the Queen's!
Not to mention that Queen Priscilla is linked to the Paranormal, so besides being a powerful Magician, she has High Level Ritualistic powers, meaning that if she uses all her strength, she can approach Neferu's strength, probably...
Among such giants, there wasn't much Luria could do, even if she used her armor.
And not to mention that the entire Royal Guard will be involved in this, where all are Aura users at least and Preyor will be involved.
What could she do in the middle of all this?
Not to mention that she is no longer a Royal Knight, even though she wants to kill Occultist, she is too weak for that!
...
"Luria, stop thinking!" - Said Juri whenever he could, Luria didn't stop thinking about things too much.
"Sorry, but it's hard not to think! I... I'm not a Knight anymore... that's really weird!" - Luria said sighing.
Juri smiled slightly and said. - "Well, we will have plenty of time now that we are going to travel this world, but... how about accepting my System?"
"... ok..." - Luria said and soon something appeared on her face.
[The Player - Juri Han, invites you to join her Group!]
[Accept?]
[Yes!] [No!]
"Just say yes!" - Juri said and Luria confirmed.
Soon her Status appears before her eyes!

"Wow... how jealous!" - Said Juri pouting.
"Is that... good?" - Asked Luria curious, then Juri held out his finger and let her see his Status.
Name: Juri Han(21) │ Title: Player

"You have in total, 3,120 Attribute Points, whereas I have 3,691, but the difference in our Levels is very obvious! I am Level 124 + 99, you are Level 85 + 5!" - Juri sighed.
But the worst of it all, is not even Luria's high Attributes, but that this is not her true Status, since she has the skill [Magic Strength] of Level 85, equivalent to her Level!
The skill amplifies all her Physical Attributes by 33.5%, and only uses 1 Mana per second!
Juri was speechless at this absurd difference, good thing she has a certain magic hammer that destroys everything, or she would hardly stand up to Luria.
And Luria still didn't understand, asking for a better explanation.
Juri then said that per Level you get 10 Attribute Points and +1 on all Attributes.
Not to mention that there is something called [Attribute Level] which is hidden, but not that hidden, to get an idea, these are Juri's Attributes without having them hidden:
Strength 239+65 = 304
Agility 241+77 = 318
Constitution 256+95 = 351
Intelligence 1209+86 = 1.295
Wisdom 484+60 = 544
Luck 601+69 = 670
Sanity 209/209
How much is Luria's? That's the interesting thing... Level 1!
The System cannot calculate all of Luria's training in her lifetime, since the Player (Juri) is different from the NPCs, so to speak.
NPCs follow a specific leveling rule, adding something like [Attribute Level] and so on would only complicate things.
But by connecting to the System, Luria became the 2nd Player, even though she doesn't have privileges like [Player Body], [Player Mind], [Inventory] and so on, she still received many privileges and with them, the [Attribute Level]!
In other words... Luria can get significantly stronger with 2 or 3 months of training, which will bring her Attributes close to Level 90!
Next we have Skills, Luria will no longer be stagnant in her Fencing, Magic Force Control and so on, now with mere repetition, everything will progress easily.
Sure, her growth speed is 2 times slower than Juri, but compared to others, it's still very good!
Not to mention that again, Juri is not an NPC where only 1 Attribute follows the Level rule and the rest grow as they wish while keeping up with the Attributes.
Probably if they were Mages, they would follow the rule, but Luria is not a Mage and she has [Magic Strength], in the end the Level doesn't matter!
'System, you have to regulate this, it's too stolen!' - Shouted Juri mentally.
[After analysis of the System and numerous tests, huge changes to the Magic and Warrior Power System will be made in Version 3.0 of the System!]
'But just starting all over again, right?'- Asked Juri sighing internally.
[Correct! You can't upgrade, since version 3.0 will bring changes even to the Real World, the Dungeon and the Player System Interface!]
'... I know it may not happen, but... is there any way I can bring Luria with me to version 3.0?' - Juri asked nervously.
[Only the Player is a carrier of the System, Luria Whinter is an inhabitant of the Dungeon and her birth was random generation of the System during testing!]
'But there's no way she can show up next time?'- Asked Juri with a squeeze in his heart.
[Due to the emotions and many behavioral analyses of the System, it is calculated that social, sexual, and loving interaction with other individuals is of utmost importance for the System and the Player to continue progressing!]
[Due to such a need, the System has developed the "Eternal Companions" feature, a function that will categorize an individual's affection towards the Player!]
[Currently the "Eternal Companions" function is not 100% active, it still needs adjustments and the System needs more capacity to add new functions in this Version!]
[But what is available is the "Character Model Analysis", where the System will save everything related to the characters with more than 80 Affection, being Loyalty, Love, Passion, Obsession and Adoration towards Player!]
[Thus having, the model of such characters will be generated and named "Important Characters" that the Player will know their location through the "Map"!]
[The "Important Characters" will not have memories of the Player, but will have an amplification in their sensitivity and emotional growth towards the Player, until they reach the comparable standards of their previous character!]
[It is noted that the history, level, and duties of "Important Characters" will always be random, including they can die by environmental situations or the actions of others!]
'But will [Important Characters] be able to recover their memories?'- Juri asked.
[System saw no need for such an option!]
'But it is important!' - Juri said seriously.
[Explain, System will analyze and make analytical tests!]
'Well... memories are extremely important, since they are what we build during our lives, losing them gives a feeling of emptiness and from what I understand, if I meet Luria the 3rd time I go [Play], she might see me as some kind of soulmate or love at first sight.
But in that, there will be a certain emptiness and confusion as she would surely think she has met me before or something, which could lead to confusion and depending on her strength and intelligence, she might think I am manipulating her emotions and memories, which could result in enmity!' - Juri said seriously.
[Important point of analysis not analyzed by the System, had been filed and tests will be done!]
'System, I give the hint that as soon as the affinity reaches 80 Points, they start to remember little by little what would be their [Past Life], starting with me as the focus of those memories, in case they want to know about their past lives for real, then they can unlock more of the memories, until they assimilate their current life with the past one.' - Juri said calmly.
[Point noted, analyzed and understand that not all memories will be returned in this situation, as it may create holes and errors, as in Version 3.0, there will be changes to the entire Magic System and growth, balancing in Power Levels and more!]
[You as a Player, will have much of the knowledge currently collected deleted to avoid imbalance and overload in System and World functionality!]
Juri frowned, but nodded understandingly, having an idea of what it will be.
'Just one last thing, is Luria already qualified to appear in the next life?'- Juri asked anxiously.
[Currently the modules of the Characters 'Luria', 'Katya' and 'Hayler' have been saved!]
'Wow, even Katya... wait, Hayler? Who the hell is Hayler?!' - Juri asked confused, having no idea who this individual is.
[Hayler Tibekop - Winter Elf - 38 Years Old(15 Years in Human terms)]
Description: Son of ???, Noble of the Winter Kingdom, known for his Talent in Magic!
Affinities: [Love - 81] [Passion - 93] [Obsession - 64] [Worship - 51]
"..." - Juri blinked, she still had no idea who it was, even when the System showed the picture of a young, handsome elf.
'Is there any way to take him off the list?'- Juri asked quietly.
[Character "Hayler" removed!]
[Luria Whinter - Winter Elf 62 Years Old(24~25 Years in Human terms)]
Description: Daughter of ????, Noble of the Winter Kingdom, Duke Level Family, Former Royal Knight, talented in Fencing and the bearer of sadistic desires and a burning passion!
Affinities: [Love - 94] [Passion - 99] [Friendship - 84]
'Hmmm... why don't I see Luria's Obsession and Worship?'- Juri asked curiously.
[The "Affinities" only become visible past 50 Points!]
