Unseen Truth

[Ding!]

[You obtained a basic meditation method.]

[You intercepted the small opportunity of the protagonist.]

[You have slightly changed the plot and your destiny.]

[First Time Reward: Knight's Vow Card (1)]

[Regular Reward: 5 points of Luck]

[Knight's Vow Card: A card condensed with the extreme yearning of a Legendary Knight for the higher path. It has the effect of unsealing the Knight Breathing Method to a higher level.

Limit: Can unseal the Knight Meditation Method up to the third level of Wizard apprentice.]

"What?" Ian couldn't control his voice.

[Do you want to use the Knight's Vow Card to unseal the Veiled Knight Breathing Method?]

Looking at the sudden prompt, Ian was extremely surprised but still said immediately,

"Yes!"

[Ding!]

[Using Knight's Vow Card to unseal the Veiled Knight Breathing Method.]

[The Veiled Knight Breathing Method has been unsealed successfully.]

[You obtained a new meditation method: Veiled Mind Meditation Method.]

Suddenly, a large complex of information bombarded Ian's mind, causing severe headaches.

Just when it was getting unbearable, the life core inside his dantian rotated automatically, and a stream of energy poured into his mind, calming him down.

After several minutes, the transmission of information finally stopped, and Ian woke up from his stupor.

'Damn! Looking for the needle in the haystack, only to find it in your pocket.'

He couldn't help but curse while rubbing his forehead. He never thought that the unsealed part of the Knight Breathing Method that he was practicing was a meditation method.

Not to mention him, he bet nobody in his family's generation knew about it. Otherwise, why would there be no wizard in his family?

However, he suddenly thought of the attack from the Royal Wizard six months later.

'Maybe, he knew something.'

Ian faintly felt that he was beginning to be drawn into an unknown vortex not mentioned in the Novel.

In the Arcane Passage, he and his family disappeared after being attacked by the First-ring Wizard, Ethos Ashford, while his father died in the battle.

However, up to the first volume, there was no mention of him again. So, he didn't know if the Author had another plan or if there was another reason.

'Let's not think about it now.'

Ian put those thoughts aside and kept the book in hand inside his ring. He still didn't know how to save his family in six months; he couldn't think about other things yet.

However, seeing that there was a separate Veiled Mind Meditation Method hiding in his family's heirloom, he was very intrigued.

"System, show my status."

'First part unsealed.'

Ian directly looked at the meditation method and immediately became happy.

'It means there are still other parts unsealed.'

After finding that, he became visibly relaxed. After all, once he had the method to practice, he could then care about other things.

As someone said, no matter how good a cook you are, you can't make a meal without ingredients.

'Now, there is a problem of mana stones.'

Ian walked along the corridor, thinking about his next plan. Although he did get a meditation method and even got a pleasant surprise, becoming a wizard was anything but easy.

He was in a Gravethrone continent where mana was scarce, he had no mana stones with him, and heck, he didn't even know his qualifications.

In fact, he could grab the chances of protagonist Carl just like now, but most of his chances were in Ignisia Tower, which wouldn't open in a year. As for those in the Calvora continent, he better not think about it yet.

'There is one place, but it is dangerous.'

After recalling the dusty memory from the novel, he locked onto one place. However, he didn't know how dangerous that place was.

'Sigh... it would be better if I could complete the quest immediately.'

Ian was quite tangled. After increasing the favorability of both sisters to 90 points, he realized that to complete the quest, he must "eat them clean."

Even then, he didn't know whether it would reach 100 points. Moreover, he couldn't force them like before as he had already crossed the line.

If he did more without planning and in a rush, he was sure they would hate him instead.

'Sigh... let's go to that place then. I don't have a choice. Since Ruther has already left, it shouldn't be dangerous.'

Yes, he was planning to raid the lair of the Sixth-ring Wizard Ruther. Even protagonist Carl didn't know that place.

'Ashen Sanctum!'

Although he knew that there might not be anything precious there and it might even be extremely dangerous, it was worth the risk.

After all, it was the sleeping place of the sixth-ring wizard anyhow. Any discarded item might help him become a Wizard Apprentice.

'Then, let's go immediately.'

Once he made the decision, he wasn't someone who would dawdle. Ian quickly left the library and went to his stable, preparing to go without notifying anyone.

As for the Academy and classes, he didn't care even more. He would return when it was time for the next plot.

While Ian left the library, in the unknown corner of the library where Ian had been, a complex rune flashed slightly right next to the wall, making the area brighter.

Suddenly, all the books thrown everywhere on the path began to float and aligned perfectly in the cabinet, while the dust disappeared right after, making the cabinet as new as the others.

"Veilstrider family? What are they planning now?"

An old voice echoed in the corner, full of suspicion and curiosity. However, after a while, the entity seemed bored.

"Heh, what does it have to do with me?"

As the voice became distant, the runes on the wall also disappeared, as if there was nothing to begin with.

Unaware of everything that happened after he left the library, Ian unbuckled a Bloodmane horse, put on the saddle, and rode it out of the Academy with extreme speed towards the east.
