[Orb of Eternity: Mesmerizing crystalline artifact that has a trace of Cosmic Insight. Using it in conjunction with the Cyclope eye may give you a surprise.]
Heizen looked at the small orb in his hand which seemed to contain the whole galaxy. Its surface was covered with deep blue swirling patterns resembling ancient runes and constellations.
With the Dragon Gadrakh's memory, he was able to gauge its preciousness just by looking at it.
After admiring it for a moment, he took out the "Eye of Cyclope" from his portable space.
[Eye of Cyclope: The eye of the level ten Psychic Cyclope.
Use: You can use it in conjunction with the eyes of other vision-related monsters to awaken your vision talent. Depending on the material, you can awaken different skills.
Note: Only possible for Tier 1 skill.]
Psychic Cyclope was described as a very rare existence in the book. According to it, its eye had traces of ancient power. He also understood its value after reading.
So, he placed the "Eye Of Cyclope" on the top of "Orb of Eternity." Without information, he could only fuse them dumbly.
The moment the Cyclope eye came into contact, the deep blue swirling pattern on the surface of the Orb of Eternity jumped out and dragged it directly.
Before Heizen could see what was going on, Cyclope's eye disappeared from his hand. Instead, the Orb began to glow and shot directly between his eyebrows.
Heizen only felt a slight headache before coming to his senses.
[Ding!]
[Orb of Eternity is promoted to Eye of the Ancients]
[Eye of the Ancients (Mythical Artifact): Crystallized Power of a primordial god.]
[Condition: Damaged (Full Authority)]
[Use: Increased wisdom. In special cases, you may get a vision of your future.]
[Note: You can restore its functions using vision-related treasures.]
Looking at the information, Heizen was satisfied. He already had a hunch that the Orb of Eternity wasn't a simple thing.
After resting for a while, it was time to return to the Ravenwood Town. It was almost night and he wasn't in the mood to fight again.
After a full hour, he arrived at the gate of the town. Just when he was trying to enter, he heard someone shouting his name.
"Heizen, here you are. I was searching for you everywhere. Did you go out alone?" Bernard waved at him and said.
Bowen was nodding at him from behind. They were also returning from the forest.
"Yes, I joined Sirus Mage Academy today. So, I went out to practice my spell." Heizen replied.
"Oh, I heard you got a Tier 1 Earth beast crystal. Damn! You are one lucky dog. I have been going in and out of that forest for so long but haven't earned any treasure yet." Bernard lamented at his luck.
Heizen could only show a helpless smile at them.
Lucky? He was damn lucky. Even System said his luck was off the chart. But when he remembered all the near-death (actual death) encounters, he didn't know what to say.
"So, you two are returning from the mission." Heizen diverted the topic.
"Yes. It wasn't that hard. By the way, you can join our Seeker Adventurer team if you want. You becoming a mage won't affect anything." Bernard invited.
"Also, do you want to explore a ruin with us? I was also planning to invite Sarah and Sophie tomorrow."
"Oh, what kind of ruin? Is it dangerous?" Heizen's interest peaked. He actually wanted to explore such ruins the most. Of course, safety is the most important.
"It is Shadowveil Catacomb at the inner layer of Forbidden Forest. It is a part of the fallen realm. As for safety, you don't need to worry too much. Most of the area had already been explored by people." Bernard continued.
"It is the famous exploration site of adventurers in Ravenwood Town due to its low risk.
Moreover, it seems people discovered another layer inside. So, many people are flocking to explore. If we pay attention to safety, there won't be much risk."
"Hmm," Heizen thought and found indeed so. If there were many people, they would not be ambushed by monsters.
He was also more powerful than before. So, he could respond fast if there was any danger.
"Ok, when is the time?" After thinking, he agreed.
"Let's explore about a week later. Since you have just joined the Academy, you should first familiarize yourself with the environment. I heard learning spells is no joke." Bernard said and took a crystal out of his ring.
"Take this Message Crystals. I will inform you when the time comes."
Heizen accepted the gift and said goodbye to the two of them. Well, Bowen wasn't talking at all. But he noticed that their level had also increased compared to before.
After separating, he walked along the wide path. Now that he had time, he wanted to relax a bit. All the running and fighting had made his mood low.
Sometimes, people must relax their nerves after continuous work. And, walking along the wide street, looking at the various people, their customs, and culture in a fantasy land was the best medicine to soothe his mind.
Heizen walked slowly while browsing various items in the trading stalls. Though the goods sold weren't something precious, there were a variety of things.
He also sold some materials from the monster he killed and gained a few gold coins. As for the treasure he encountered, he was going to sell it to the Ford Chamber Of Commerce.
While Heizen was walking along the path, he suddenly felt that someone was following him. If not for his sharp perception due to increased mental power, he wouldn't have noticed the anomaly.
After making sure he was right, he activated his Divine sense and searched for the culprit among the crowd.
After scanning carefully, he found a person in a black robbed looking in his direction from behind a shop. Since the person was covered completely, he didn't see other details.
Just when he was planning to capture the person with some tricks, he saw that person suddenly seemed surprised. Before he could react, the black-robed figure quickly shuttled through the crowd and disappeared from his range.
