The Moon Thief

Chapter 150: Questions

Heinald frowned, "What could he have seen to cause his family to betray him?"

An expression of indecision appeared on Havin Volz's face. Obviously, the subject he wanted to talk about was quite a deep one and he didn't want to go into it simply.

"Whatever he saw... His family wanted to get rid of him to avoid this danger, didn't they?" Seeing his indecision, Heinald wanted to go further.

Havin exhaled and said, "Furyus found a Memory Crystal from ancient times in one of the ruins he explored."

"Memory Crystal?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Heinald's face.

"Yes, according to him, this crystal belonged to a powerful Ainsar who lived in ancient times. However, it took a very strong mind to gather the memories inside this crystal. Even though Furyus was a Level 2 Ainsar, even he did not have such a mind. That's why he asked me, his most trusted friend, for help."

Havin's face turned pale.

"Just the two of you knew that?" Heinald asked.

Havin shook his head, "No, Furyus told his family about the Memory Crystal as well. It was quite normal; after all, we're talking about family."

Heinald took a deep breath and sat back, "So his family told others that he had a Memory Crystal from ancient times?"

"I don't think so" Havin shook his head, "Havin was already a target if you ask me."

Heinald's eyebrows rose slightly, "What do you mean?"

Havin clasped his hands on the table and looked directly into his eyes, "I don't think his family has told anyone that he found a Memory Crystal from ancient times... No! It's something different. If you ask me, whoever destroyed Furyus has been around since the very beginning. They knew he had the memory crystal."

Noticing that Heinald was staring blankly at him, Havin continued, "Many in this world, if they're lucky, are able to obtain some valuable relics from ancient relics."

Heinald nodded slowly.

"About twenty years ago I had managed to inherit a legacy from ancient times, but no one came and took me away. Furyus found something that was not wanted by anyone to find it." Havin took a sip of the drink in front of him, "Whoever destroyed him, they reached out to his family first and probably threatened them. Furyus, in a letter he sent me the day before he disappeared, wrote that he found some letters in his daughter's room and was sending letters to someone who wanted to destroy him."

When Heinald put the information he had learned together in his head, he more or less understood what was going on. However, all this caused a huge question to pop up in his mind.

Who eliminated it?

Havin looked at Heinald, "You're wondering, aren't you? Who? Who's behind this?"

He shook his head.

"Although I'm not sure, I think I know who's behind this." Havin's tone was as cold as ice.

"Who?" Heinald asked.

"An organization... An organization that wants some remnants of ancient times to be left behind the dusty pages of history." Havin was staring at his drink with a thoughtful expression.

Heinald's eyes widened, "Don't tell me... Al-Yuen?"

"Huh? Do you know them?" Havin sprang to his feet in surprise, his eyes wide open.

"I can't say I know much about them. I just know they don't really like relics from ancient times." Heinald replied.

Havin quickly sat down and whispered, "They're specifically finding and destroying relics from the lost millennium era."

Heinald frowned, "Are they destroying?"

"Yeah." Haven shook his head.

"Furyus was uneasy that day because he found his daughter's correspondence... His family must have realized why, so they finished him off that night." Heinald muttered.

"I may be their target, too, but I haven't seen any of the memories stored inside the Memory Crystal. So, I probably don't pose any danger to them. I was far from here when Furyus asked me for my help on this matter. And when I came here to help him. .. I learned that he had disappeared."

Havin took another sip of the drink in front of him.

***

When Heinald left the inn, his expression was rather dark. Although he didn't fully believe this man named Havin, he could sense that he wasn't lying. The organization called Al-Yuen was probably the oldest in the Ainsar World. Thousands of years of intelligence and interaction in their hands allowed them to be aware of many things and to hide behind the shadows perfectly.

Heinald had not seen any information about this organization in any source he had read.

He was thinking of giving up on this business. It was plain stupid to go after an old and unknowable organization like Al-Yuen.

Heinald left Allivion City and traveled to Ruthas Academy. Furyus gave information about Almhad that he had outside of Al-Yuen. The officer said that the academy will investigate this intelligence and he can get Achievement Points depending on the situation.

Heinald's next task was to listen to Count Vaarsen's problem and try to find a solution for him. However, there were some things he wanted to do at the academy before going to his mansion. He was contemplating a new potion formula in his spare time. This potion formula would be one that would increase the Ice Element Effect. However, it would not make this potion with a Magical Beast spirit.

His goal was to create a potion formula that was relatively easy to make, inexpensive, and readily available. Since his sea of knowledge about various herbs and ingredients was vast and his memory was impeccable, it was easy for him to list the ingredients he thought might work.

But the materials he thought might work, of course, might not really work. After all, he would have compatibility problems to overcome, and he did not want to use an extra method to solve the compatibility problem, as he did not want this potion to be too difficult to make.

He had already listed the herbs and ingredients he thought might be compatible with each other, he would experiment on them and try to come up with a potion formula if they were highly compatible.

Before starting experiments with his new apprentice, Orinath, Heinald had managed to purchase all the herbs and materials he had listed for around 1000 Achievement Points. Now all that was left was to work hard and conduct successful experiments.

"Roseclaw Flower, Ajin Bone Powder, Stubborn Fish Tear, Sky Grass, and Fortified Halla Bull Blood Essence I have quite a few of these ingredients, I hope they will suffice for experiments" Heinald looked at the materials in front of the table.

Orinath was admiring the materials on the table. He had heard of some of these ingredients before, as he could be considered more knowledgeable in potions than most Ainsar. For him, if not for Heinald, these materials were extremely valuable. The materials that he had worked on before were quite pale compared to these materials.

Moreover, the toxicity of these materials was quite high. As a result of various experiments, these materials would already be reduced, and if there was a problem during the elimination of toxicity with the Spirit Flame, the materials could run out quickly.

Naturally, he knew that his master was a genius, but making mistakes in experiments was normal, even for geniuses.

The days passed quickly.

After a lot of hard work, Heinald and Orinath had successfully created a potion formula. As a Level 1 Ainsar, Orinath could easily go without sleep for a few days, but like his master, he could not work without sleep for two weeks.

Heinald wasn't mad at him for that. He was aware that Orinath was doing the best he could, successfully following the instructions he had given him.

That was enough for him!

The potion Heinald created was one that increased the Ice Element Effect. He called this potion "Glacial Storm Potion".

Glacial Storm Potion was increasing the effect of the ice element by 20% for 3 minutes. The purity of this potion was 60%. Unfortunately, this was the best he could get with the ingredients he listed. According to him, this result was still very good, this potion didn't require very expensive and hard-to-find ingredients and still had a pretty good potency. Moreover, the duration of the effect was not bad at all.

Heinald used ice element-based spells frequently. That's why he wanted to have a potion he could trust if he faced an enemy that he thought would be difficult to overcome in the future. Naturally, he knew that this potion wasn't very effective, but the effect increase rate of this potion should be enough even for the strong enemies he will face, if not, that enemy is probably not in his league anyway.
