Chapter 850: Chapter 338: Your Uncle is Quite Lively, Huh?

After separating from Annan, Kafney led a few people back into Iris Bank.

She still hadn’t brought along the Winter Hand.

Since the Winter Hand showed no sign of mobilizing, and they weren’t heading towards the subway lines, their movements didn’t attract the attention of others—especially the Three-Eyed Crows.

"This Prince Philip looks pretty..."

Lin Yiyi glanced sideways at the spirited Prince Philip who was talking nonstop and stopped mid-sentence, "Uh, pretty lively."

Jumping around like a pet dog being taken out for a walk.

He didn’t seem very bright.

"That’s a bit too lively."

Jiu’er, who was getting a bit of a headache from Philip’s booming voice, didn’t hide her annoyance, "He’s lively to the point that even left alone he could interact with the air."

At this, Lin Yiyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"What interaction?"

Salvatore’s puzzled voice rose from the room, "What’s reacting with what?"

"It’s none of your business."

Kafney said softly, "It’s just the girls joking around."

"No, I don’t think it’s like that..."

Salvatore sounded a bit confused, "When you mention ’reaction,’ that’s clearly a term from transformation spells..."

"Don’t mind these details," Kafney cut off the topic and asked instead, "Where did you go?

"How did you bring back so much stuff?"

Kafney eyed the various items scattered on the floor of Iris Bank.

At a glance, there seemed to be at least a dozen books, no less than three giant frames the size of an adult, along with stacked frames of various shapes and sizes.

"...Did you rob some antique bookstore? Or was there some kind of event?"

"They were all gifts."

Salvatore explained, "I just went to see Mr. Kai."

"Mr. Kai?"

The girls were taken aback.

They exchanged glances with each other.

Salvatore noticed the hesitation in their tone and pressed, "What’s wrong?"

"We were just discussing Mr. Kai’s situation."

Kafney answered.

Maria nodded, "It’s said he disappeared... or rather, he left the Royal Capital on his own.

"We were talking about this when Prince Philip said he had information regarding Mr. Kai. Annan followed him to leave."

"That’s surprising... it’s good he didn’t leave," Salvatore was a bit annoyed, "I have information too!

"Mr. Kai didn’t leave the Royal Capital at all. He’s been hiding here all this time, running a mask shop. And it seems he’s been paying attention to the situation... he just doesn’t want to get too involved."

Salvatore sat down on a chair with a sigh, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and looked at the paintings leaning against the wall, "These things were sent back by Mr. Kai.

"He said they were inconvenient for him to keep... I didn’t quite understand, but I could tell that they’re precious books and paintings from the empire era, many unique copies. They’re well-preserved with rituals, so storage isn’t too much of a worry. Mr. Kai said he’s giving them to me, so I moved them here."

Salvatore, dressed in a leisure suit-like "modern Wizard’s robe," only unbuttoned, let down his rolled-up sleeves and complained, "But it nearly killed me. It’s a good thing it wasn’t far from here... running back and forth was how I managed to move them.

"I’ll just leave them here for now. Princess Kafney, when Annan comes back, bring him here to have a look. If there’s a book he wants, let him take it first... I’ll come back in a few days to fetch the rest."

Salvatore took a breath and continued to grumble, "While you all were attending parties, enjoying good food and entertainment... I was here moving stuff back and forth. I didn’t even have the strength and had to drink potions to do it. It’s too hard on me."

"Do you have time right now?"

Kafney glanced at the clock in the room, "There are still five hours until three in the morning... We need to make a trip to the Heath Tower of Black’s Influence Pool. Do you want to come along?"

"...Influence Pool? Which Influence Pool?"

Salvatore was taken aback at the mentioning, "The nearest Influence Pool is more than ten miles away from the Royal Capital, isn’t it?"

"That ancient elven ruin in the dense forest, the one Annan and the others visited before, might be a bit far."

Maria approached, flipping through the ancient books Salvatore brought back and casually said, "But there’s no need to worry about the journey, I will personally take you guys... We should get there in about fifteen minutes."

"...But that elf ruin is more than forty kilometers away from the Royal Capital."

Salvatore hesitated, "Do you have a way to get there?"

"Rest assured, I have made preparations."

Maria chuckled lightly.

"...Alright, I will come along then."

Thinking of the "Door Opener" Annan had mentioned to him, Salvatore nodded his head, "That place is hidden quite deep, and it’s dark out now. If you go, you might not be able to find it, probably wasting a lot of time for nothing."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of emerald green potion from the inner pocket of his clothes.

Maria recognized the medicine, "Is this... an Awakening Potion?"

"Yes... Sss..."

Salvatore tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp, his whole body shivered, and he instantly looked more alert.

He then took out another bottle, saying very confidently, "Aside from the Awakening Potion and the Strong Mental Clarity Elixir, I dare say that even if Nicholas were to come back to life, he wouldn’t be able to do it better than me."

Maria also took the bottle from him without any hesitation.

She wasn’t at all worried about the safety of the potion and also tilted her head back to drink it in one go.

She suddenly paused, smacking her lips, "Indeed, it’s really good, the effect is excellent... But why is it mint flavored? Is this a special recipe?"

"No, it’s just my personal preference."

Salvatore smiled, "I quite like drinking mint water, especially with ice. It gives a refreshing and stimulating feeling, very invigorating... Over time, as soon as I taste mint, I become alert on my own."

"In the Decree School, this phenomenon is called ’Mental Inertia’."

Maria commented, "Transcendents need to be aware of their own mental inertia and bodily habits. If someone wants to harm you, they usually try to break your Curse Binding by exploiting your mental inertia and habits."

"Hmm, I see..."

Salvatore didn’t find Maria’s remark to be nagging and humbly nodded with a hint of nostalgia.

This actually gave Maria a rare sense of satisfaction.

She couldn’t really lecture anyone at home — Annan would never make a mistake, and Dmitry wouldn’t listen even if she spoke. This made Maria’s fondness for Salvatore grow considerably.

"Alright, we’ll continue this when we get back."

Maria coughed lightly and carefully set down the ancient book in her hands, "Let’s make it a quick trip... Let’s head to the open space first."

Although Maria had great trust in Annan,

She still felt that even if there was information about the holy remains in the nightmare, it wouldn’t be very important... Otherwise, the people of Heath Tower of Black would have surely discovered it by now.

After all, it was an Influence Pool exclusively used by Heath Tower of Black.

"Wait, why are we going to an open space?"

Salvatore paused, "Aren’t we having Jacob teleport us there?"

Maria took it for granted, "For such a distance, we don’t need teleportation, we will naturally fly there — I will take you with me.

"Don’t worry, I won’t fly too fast."

"Wait," Salvatore’s expression changed, "If we’re flying, then—"
