Chapter 760 Four Pillars: Extension

?"Technologies beyond the Early Middle Ages, huh?" Muttering the words Valyr had asked her to herself, Nila rummaged through her memories for a bit before looking at the young man with a?mix of curiosity and slight suspicion.

"And you're asking this... why?"

In response, Valyr let out a faint chuckle. "Let's just say it's for the sake of innovation."

"You do know there's no point in having information on those kinds of technologies if you don't have the means to make use of them, right?"

Though Nila knew that such an answer was definitely right for her question, there was something about the young man's body language that told her that Valyr was asking it for something else.

"Unlocking technologies from beyond the Early Middle Ages would take a near incessant amount of Technology Points to unlock, especially with the average level of technology that exists within Veldanyr," she said.

"I'm not even sure if you've unlocked all of the technology the Early Middle Ages has to offer on the Innovation branch. Even that already costs over a hundred thousand points to unlock in total."

Listening to her words, Valyr merely smiled.

After that, he activated [True Prodigious Mana Arm] again, utilizing the mana arms to proceed with the next step of the upgrade process.

While his mana arms were busy preparing the materials needed for the next step, he opened up his spatial bracelet before grabbing something out of it, causing Nila to give him a stunned look.

"Now... is this enough of an answer for you, Ms. Nila?"

Bringing out the newly upgraded arquebus for the woman to see, Valyr took in a bit of delight at the former's reaction.

"Is that... an arquebus?" Taking in a few deep breaths to compose herself, Nila soon activated a skill similar to Valyr's mana arms, making use of them to continue the forging process.

In the meantime, she moved closer towards the young man, allowing her to get a better look of the young man's handiwork.

Seeing that Valyr was allowing her to hold it, Nila received it with both hands before examining every part of the arquebus in great detail.

"It really is an arquebus..." muttered the woman after she was done examining.

Giving the weapon back to Valyr, she looked at him with an astonished expression before asking him a question.

"Has the average level of technology in Veldanyr really improved that much that arquebuses are already being crafted?"

At those words, Valyr shook his head.

"It has improved, but not to the point that arquebuses are being crafted... or any predecessor of the arquebus for that matter."

"Then... how?" Asking this question, Nila looked at the young man with immense curiosity.

In response, the young man merely grinned as he pointed at the ground.

"Wait a minute..." Though Valyr was left at a loss for words at the obscenely high stats someone with Myth-level strength had, the young man still took note of the main differences Nila's screen had over the others he had seen earlier.

Feeling that he now had an idea of what Nila was hinting, he soon asked her, "So, if I'm getting this correctly..."

"You're connected to this image from the outside world?"

In response, Nila merely chuckled.

"I'm glad it didn't take you that long to understand."

"Spot on."
