Testing a Theory 

Two days later...

After leaving Natali, Lothur made his way north, heading towards the border between Rablus and Norid.

He now had plans to enter one of the outposts of the Seraphim Church and get information about that soul fragment, as well as seek more information from outposts of the Cultivation House further north.

No longer interested in passing through cities until he reached the vicinity of the Ancestral Region, Lothur followed the path of the forests of that state.

On this journey, after meeting Natali, he returned to train in some of his professions, including that of poison master.

As he could not casually activate his bloodline ability and improve his affinities and resistances by stealing it from others, Lothur had not been able to improve his related characteristics since leaving the Imperial Prison.

Thus, he had bought several items to train on this trip, things to poison master and formations master, which could be used to train his resistances.
