Taking a close look at Edward's stats, Valyr inwardly sucked in a breath of cold air. After all, all of the kid's stats had exceeded his even after he had taken the entire set of Basic Reinforcement Elixir.
'Imperio, huh...' Though, after reminding himself that the kid would become the Grand Marshal of the Zeihardt Sovereignty in the future, the young man gradually calmed down, instead focusing his attention on the surname that appeared on the kid's status screen.
From what he could recall from his past life, the Imperio surname used to be held in high regard by the entire human race, being renowned as one of the strongest Imperial clans under the Zeihardt clan. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the leader of the Imperio clan had made a grave mistake, reducing the entire clan to its current state in just over a thousand years.
Fortunately, as if it was destined from the start, Edward's rise to fame revived the Imperio clan, allowing it to return to its previous standing as an Imperial clan thanks to the meritorious feats the man had achieved during the War of the Three Sovereignties.
'Though, with how Edward's stats are higher than what I had back then, I presume the Grand Marshal position wouldn't be his final stop.' Closing up the screen in front of him, the young man decided to tell Edward about the conversation he and Julian had, which made the kid frown at first. To him, any mention of the Nicholas clan brought a lot of bad memories to him.
However, as Valyr talked more and more about it, Edward's expression went through multiple changes, eventually stopping on surprise and gratitude. After all, from what he had heard from the young man in front of him, he and his parents were now considered free from the Nicholas clan's grasp, returning their social status to citizens of the Algerie Kingdom.
At this thought, tears started flow down Edward's face, not expecting such a turn of events to arrive so soon. Knowing that the kid was shedding tears of joy from the matter, the young man decided to leave Edward be for the meantime, excusing himself from the two as he made his way to his part of the room.
...
"I should really head to sleep soon." Lying down on his bed for a couple of minutes, Valyr eventually sat on the side of his bed as he began to transfer all of the items he used to store on his old spatial bracelet into his new one. Leaving the skill books he had just bought to the side, he then transferred a portion of the items he had bought earlier into his old spatial bracelet, deciding to re-purpose the bracelet as a backup.
"I should really get my hands on spatial magic still." Taking a quick glance to see how Edward was doing, the young man could only smile once he saw the kid become more cheerful than ever as he stored the entire True Wyvern Armor into his new spatial bracelet. "Then again, this much space is more than enough for me for now."
With all of the items he had prepared for the journey into the inheritance tomorrow already organized, Valyr took in a deep breath as he shifted his attention towards the stack of skill books beside him. Hearing Wells from the main living area tell him that he and Edward were to go eat dinner outside, the young man waited for the two of them leave before proceeding to comprehend the skill books he had bought.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[You have gained the passive skill 'Innate Regeneration'.]
[You have gained the passive skill 'Innate Energy Regeneration'.]
[You have gained...]
Having gone through the process of comprehending skill books many times back then, Valyr only felt a slight burden to his mind as the influx of information from the skills he had just learned bombarded his mind. With how much his strength had improved, his limits as to how many skills he could comprehend at once had also improved, allowing him to process and organize the knowledge he had gained without a problem.
"Next up is to level them up and evolve them." Giving his mind some time to rest from the influx of information, the young man took a deep breath as he began to max out all of the skills he had gotten one by one. After that, he took a look at his skill list to see if there were any other skills that were left unleveled, eventually finding out that there were.
Ding!
[Would you like to consume 3 Common grade Skill Keys and 553,556 XP to upgrade 'Shadow Serpent Magic Style', 'Basic Shadow Energy Manipulation', and 'Basic Mystic Energy Manipulation' to Uncommon grade?]
"Yes." Confirming the prompt that had appeared in front of him, Valyr made a note to take a look at the description of some of the skills in his list, recalling that he had still not looked at some of them after all this time. Two great examples of that would be [Shadow Serpent Magic Style] and [Hunter's Tracking Eyes], both of which the young man knew would prove definitely useful during his journey into the inheritance.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Hearing a series of notification sounds resound in his mind, Valyr allowed the influx of information to inundate his mind as he felt his knowledge and understanding certain things to deepen. Then, after taking a considerably long break, he then upgraded all of the skills he had just bought and the three skills that were left unleveled to the peak of Uncommon grade.
It was only at that moment did Valyr feel a great amount of burden on his mind, causing him to wryly smile.
"Haah..." Nevertheless, having experienced far worse sensations in the past, the great mental burden he felt gradually subsided, which allowed Valyr to finally relax. Lying down on his bed as he decided to skip dinner for the night, the young man slowly closed his eyes as he asked himself whether he had forgotten anything important one last time.
"Hmm... I do still have that vial of Might and the Outer Realm Scripture..." muttered the young man to himself as those two items came to mind. "I'll just bring them along with me into the inheritance in the off chance I need them."
"Other than that, I'm pretty much more than prepared for tomorrow." Nevertheless, the answer he arrived at was more or less the exact opposite, allowing him to have a sound sleep as he fell into deep slumber minutes later.
