Chapter 295: Resources 1
Slow steps were made on the corridor of the second floor.
Garen continuously pushed open all of the room doors he passed by, his gaze swept across each of them, never stepping in personally.
Very quickly, he reached the end where there was a room on the left –the doors were already open. From the gap through the door he could see many book shelves.
Garen pushed open the door and walked in; there were two steaming cups of black tea placed on the coffee table. The windowpanes were covered with a layer of dense mist.
He glanced around, his gaze eventually settling on a black leather box placed at the corner of the study.
Walking towards the box and squatting down, he lightly pinched –the place where the keyhole was immediately turned into fine powder. He opened the box.
Inside divided two sections, right and left.
On the left were stacks of notes and books, all of them covered in red hard covers. Garen picked them up and flipped them open – precise blueprint, detailed surgical procedures, as well as some illegible records of experiments. At the bottom of it all was a poetry compilation by Isaiah.
He placed the book back in and started looking at the section on the right.
The right side of the box were some silver bank notes, some broken diamond pieces and a silver brick. At the top was a stack of cheques weighed down by a silver brick.
Garen took it out to have a look. On top, 10 pieces of bank deposit bills with an amount of one million written on each.
”This fella is pretty poor huh…he is worse off than angel.”Garen shakes his head. ”No wonder there was a desire to take over the storehouses.”
Garen simply took up a book of precision blueprint and flipping around.
It was pretty obvious this was a version used by totem users, at the top were plenty of requests with a difficulty level below that of a luminarist’s . Garen’s master level precision blueprint can easily achieve the standard required at the top.
”A totem user, is so much less complex than being a luminarist..this item should be that book of Mecca’s.
Totem users only needed to learn an entrance level precision blueprint, but when it came to technique and skill, they are so much more powerful than luminarists and forgers. Their types are highly skilled in the area of totem control and totem manipulation.
Totem users, forgers and luminarists; truth be told, have different preferences. Luminarists are to be considered moderate among them, and when it comes to strengths, totem users are skilled in technique while forgers have strengths in the area of forging and maintenance.
Garen flipped to the section where totem users needed to use activation tactics, and was momentarily stunned by how much more complicated activation tactics were in comparison to being a luminarist.
”Seems like no matter which type, there’s no such thing as a shortcut…only the area of difficulty differs.”
Totem user’s precision blueprint required of a lower standard, but the price to pay was that its activation tactics were extremely difficult. Activation tactics included a lot of mathematical and physical knowledge; if it were not for Garen’s prior experiences, he wouldn’t have been able to grasp it so quickly.
Precision blueprints leaned towards the main attack’s stability and precision, while activation tactic focuses on the basis of instantaneous force and physical principles. The first focuses on accumulation, while the latter on adaptability. This also signifies the different development lines luminarists and totem users have.
Luminarists get stronger as time accumulated increases; the more knowledge they have, the more they can accumulate their wealth and ascend themselves.
On the other hand, totem users rely on adaptability and instantaneous force. They start off strong, but as development progresses, are substantially weaker to that of a luminarist.
”Still have no idea when it comes to forgers, but they should be leaning towards the direction of luminarists. From their name, it can be assumed that they completely given up going in the direction of battle, focusing instead on scientific research, specifically totem forging.
Garen closed the box and stood up. He left the Deep swamp croc as a doorkeeper and proceeded to continue the search leisurely.
There wasn’t anything else he could find, but Garen was not greedy – as he had found a box full of wealth, all of this had been worth it.
He simply took hold of the box with one hand and leaped off the window sill of the second floor.
Behind him, Wilde and the others were still searching the first floor, a few of the men obviously reaped some harvest. Wilde himself stood guard at the door of the entrance, in his mouth was a lit cigarette. Both of his eyes looked half open, as if he was on the verge of nodding off.
As he heard the leap, he opened his eyes to see Garen and grinned at him.
”Have a safe journey, I won’t walk you.” He glanced at the box in Garen’s hands, not saying anything.
”I don’t have enough manpower for the items in the storehouses, this box will be enough for me.”Garen grinned. The value of this box, besides its physical wealth, would be the notes and books in regards to tactics; there would surely be an array of tactics used by this villa. Just this fact alone was able to compensate the storehouse of young grains stolen earlier on. Its value is definitely worth more than 10 million.
Garen took the box and accelerated towards the distance, Giant deep swamp croc shadowed closely behind. He felt unfamiliar gazes behind his back but they disappeared as the distance increased.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. His movements became lighter and more agile, and sped into the alley. Sticking close to the shadows, he ran in the direction of the suburbs.
Wooo~~~!!!
The long sound of a horn reverberated throughout Iron Tank City.
Garen halted his steps abruptly; he noticed that the sound of the horn was grievous and bleak.
He stood in the shadows of the valley, lifted his head up and looked at the skies outside the city.
An army of Giant Unihorn lizards looking like a bunch of grey clouds, were encircling a group of white Dragonhawks, leaving a small group of white gold Dragonhawks to defend tirelessly. They left behind white gold lines as they circled the air, continuously battling a Giant lizard every few seconds, without the time to take a breather.
At the start they were able to send down a Giant lizard whenever they came into contact with one. Now, they could only bump them out of the way with great difficulty.
There were too many grey clouds.
