The store is the biggest advantage of the players, without the slightest doubt, but the reincarnated have time on their side, perhaps now it is little noticed.
We have the most significant technological and magical advances among all the player factions, the neutral factions are still factions that have been around much longer than us, their heritage being hundreds, thousands or more years.
But there is still no one stupid enough to stand up to these powers.
While I was pondering, I was searching with Lilith and Gal, the two self-imposed bodyguards, for a good area where they could reside.
The coral area was deep, or at least deep enough to be able to build a village there, but it would be very easy to see it if some flying faction passed over it, the same for anyone swimming on the surface of the water. That being a resounding no.
Our target was a very hidden village, we have no population to defend against invasions and we also have no ability to be a trading partner with anyone. Simply put, we are on our own.
Even persisting I couldn't find any good places, all until a system message came to me.
[Congratulations your faction has gained 1 wisdom point from Lint, this member of your faction has discovered a cavern with more magical affluence].
I was completely stunned, wisdom was the most important stat in LAZ, being the hardest to raise and the one that brings more than any other.
Intelligence helps the unconsciousness of individuals and gives them a greater ability to reason, like cunning in some games, but wisdom shows the knowledge your faction possesses, it's ideas on all subjects, it's like opening a dam that contains enlightenment, an epiphany.
After the message my mind was filled with ideas, shapes for some weapons or armor, how could be the huts we would have to build, even, with just that point of wisdom I could begin to understand sealing magic.
This last second had completely changed our minds and gave a substantial improvement to our faction.
As I turned I could see the gleam in Gal and Lilith's eyes, they didn't know why, but now they had their minds clearer and full of ideas that would help them in their individualities.
Giving them a gesture, we went back the way we came, we wanted to find the others and especially Lint, the contribution he had just made simply looking for a place to live had been enormous.
After a few hours we were all reunited, Demora began to circle me around, she had stayed in the chasm where she had swallowed the fish, apparently after eating she was sleepy and I decided she would not be disturbed.
Seeing Lint, I approached and asked him for a report. To which he, with a fiery passion began to tell us what had happened.
When we parted, he teamed up with Balthazar and Saun. Due to Lint's curiosity to explore, they ended up entering all the chasms, until they found one that led to a huge cavern, so deep and large, that it seemed like a new world, in this world there was only darkness and a small ray of light given by the chasm, which only illuminated an empty water area.
Surprised by the immensity of the cavern, Lint succumbed to his curiosity and began to swim, without forgetting to drag his companions. In this part he did not doubt to say repeatedly how scared and fearful Balthazar and Saun were. Although for me the odd thing would be not to have a certain respect for something as he had described it.
They followed the ceiling in a random direction, reaching the end after an hour of fast swimming, then followed the wall down, entering absolute darkness, even for them who possessed enhanced night vision.
At that moment Lint made mention of his Eyes of the World individuality, this allowed him to see a crack in the wall, this crack was glowing, but only he could behold it.
Only when they reached the crack, Balthazar was shocked, it looked like a vein of lilac crystals, but his shock was not due to this, but because he could begin to see the brightness, it was magic, the crystals were formed of magic compressed by the depth and the years.
Here he mentioned how Balthazar began to embrace each crystal, with the only criterion that they were as big as he was.
At this mention we all gave him a contemptuous and coordinated look of group act. To which he could only lower his head.
Finally, after crossing the cave carefully, always attentive to the ability of Safe Zone, they found a dome, this was full of these crystals, even some of larger size, being this the moment that a lot of ideas appeared in his head.
After that stroke of wisdom he knew that this place was the most suitable for them and they ran back to look for the others.
I must admit that I had no idea about those crystals, it was something I had never seen or heard of in my time as a player, besides that it is not a material possible to obtain in the store, that only meant that they were valuable materials and with that, a good resource to trade or use, as long as we discover their qualities, apart from having magic in them.
All together, we started the trip to the cavern, I have to give a point to Lint, Balthazar and Saun. The chasm to the cavern was quite hidden and was very difficult to see, besides that even being so difficult to find, it had nothing exceptional about it, it was a normal chasm, even smaller than others.
After descending it completely I understood Saun and Balthazar's fear, in turn I saw how really brave Lint was. His description did not bear witness to what he really was.
The chasm had become a portal to a black world, so large and terrifying, simply an unprecedented vastness, a hole as deep as a bottomless abyss, it was like lying on the ground while looking at the vastness of the sky, on a night without moon or stars.
Together, we were guided into the crevice, so as not to get lost, I instructed Demora to make a series of marks on the ceiling every few meters with her claws. The rock was traversed with relative ease and with that we were able to have our breadcrumb trail.
It didn't take us long to reach the crack in the wall, just like Saun, we couldn't see any glow at all and only Balthazar who told us that little by little he could see it and Lint who was still fascinated by the crystals, were the only ones who enjoyed it.
Without further ado we entered and saw the immense amount of lilac crystals, although we did not detect the brightness, they still looked beautiful.
Only when we reached the dome a message from the system appeared in my field of vision.
[You are in a zone of high magical intensity, your body will begin to develop Magical Sensitivity over time. Process 1%, estimated time: 504 Hours remaining]
