Chapter 606 Secret Knowledge
Vincent wasn't unhappy with this since according to the knowledge that he received after learning the skill book, he could already learn the Beginner Rune Magic Skill.
He didn't hesitate to learn it as he swiftly took it out of his inventory.
Vincent looked at the rough book in his hands as he triggered his system's ability.
[ A Skill Manual found. Would you like to learn the skill Beginner Rune Magic? ]
"Yes…"
As soon as he answered, another set of information was injected into his mind.
This time he had made a mistake…
He had just learned a skill that exhausted his mind so after using it once more, he already felt the pain that he shouldn't be experiencing if he had been patient and learned it after a few hours of rest.
"Aahhh!"
As the headache intensified at the 10 minutes mark, Vincent didn't hesitate to drink one of his potions to alleviate the pain. He shouldn't be learning Skill Books in a row!
Luckily, the potion was quite effective and it didn't affect his "learning" process.
After a while, he finished absorbing the knowledge and confirmed that he learned four Beginner Runes!
Abhord ( Flame ), Nonn ( Water ), Dihwa ( Thunder ), and Cid ( Break ).
The Runes have incredible effects and it's probably closely related to the Inscription Skills of the Magic Technicians according to the information in his head.
"I wanted to test it but I'm too tired… Let's do it tomorrow…"
Although the pain brought by learning skills was alleviated thanks to the potion, his mind was still under a bit of stress since a bunch of knowledge was currently in his head.
He needed a good sleep or long rest to settle his mind.
***
On the next day, Vincent felt so comfortable that he even slept until he was called for lunch.
After finishing his meal, he soaked in the bathtub for quite a while since he thought that it will be a very busy day later.
As expected, Luna and Agatha brought him plenty of things so he can start his skill grinding… Faviona and Dianne also did the same and provided him with several potions.
After several hours, Vincent went out of the residence to get some fresh air…
To his surprise, a visitor for him suddenly arrived…
Roel had come to visit him so even though he was surprised, Vincent decided to meet the person in the garden.
"What made you come here?" Vincent asked curiously.
"I'm just thinking whether you can give me any advice to improve myself..." Roel said after a moment of hesitation.
Of course, even though Vincent defeated this person in a duel, he must admit that it was quite challenging for him.
After all, he was heavily relying on his Celestial Armor to protect himself and his Celestial Dagger to attack.
The pistol didn't do much as Roel is half-automaton… Then, the Bleeding or Piercing Effect isn't that good against him as well.
If Vincent doesn't have the touchless Mana Drain to cut off his connection with his Diamond Tier Automaton, he would have to use a little bit more time to defeat this Diamond Tier Manipulator.
"Well, I'm not really that strong… Although I know a few Tier 1 and Tier 2 Mana Arts and some Soul Arts, I'm still heavily relying on my Magic Tools. If you're asking for advice, I can only say that you need to be fully armed as well… In case your Automaton can't be used anymore, you should have other things or weapons with you so you can fight as well…" Vincent commented after a while.
"T-that's true… That's also my battle style… However, my Magic Tool isn't as good as my Automatons."
Vincent looked at the man as he pondered for a moment.
'Is he hinting to me that he wanted some of my weapons? Well, I don't really mind but—Ahh!'
Vincent suddenly had an idea and he immediately asked the man.
"I have a few more Legendary Weapons with me that I'm not always using…"
"What? Really?! Ahem… Are you thinking of selling it? Can you sell it to me?"
Vincent smiled after hearing this.
As expected, Roel had really come here to inquire about his weapons.
Vincent didn't mind this at all as he replied with a smile.
"I don't really mind selling my Legendary Sword. However, I'm not sure if you can trade it for something with an equal value…"
Roel was stunned after hearing this.
Indeed, his only item that can probably equal the Legendary Sword was his Diamond Tier Automaton… He no longer has Crystal Tier Automatons as he had to sell them to obtain his current Automaton in the first place.
"I obtained a dungeon long ago after completing an incredibly dangerous mission… Unfortunately, you can only harvest uncommon-rank herbs and materials there. It can earn you about 5,000 gold monthly. I can give the ownership to you and pay you with 5,500 low-grade Spirit Stones as well..."
Roel said after moments of hesitation.
'He's actually quite poor even though he's in the peak of the Manipulators… I guess it's also expensive to maintain their Automatons.' Vincent commented in his mind as he listened patiently.
"Well… I don't think I can handle the dungeon since I will be returning to my city in just a couple of days. Anyway, you might have some other things you can sell… Hmm… How about your knowledge?" Vincent asked.
This is what he was aiming for since the beginning.
"Knowledge? Ahem… Although I graduated from our prestigious Academy, I'm only average when it comes to intelligence. You might obtain all my knowledge from other reliable sources instead." Roel said truthfully.
Nevertheless, Vincent just smiled and added.
"How about some medical knowledge… related to your current condition. The knowledge that allowed you to live with your condition as a half-automaton. Can you sell it in exchange for this Legendary Sword?"
As Vincent said this, he pulled out his Arcane-Forged Primal Sword… This is one of the swords he was no longer using. He didn't mind using this weapon in exchange for the knowledge that he wanted.
