Chapter 142: Molten Magma Core, Kayn's worry, and Skill Books

As the others left and silence returned inside the tent, Kayn turns to look at Natas and said. "Now that we have the Springwater Source Bonsai and Mountain Heart Flower, we only have two other more items to collect,"

Natas nodded his head. "The Molten Magma Core and the Spring Blossom Leaf,"

"Do you know which direction we are going right now?"

"If I am not mistaken, I think we are approaching the Peaceful Volcano,"

"Peaceful Volcano…" It's the location of the next item, the Molten Magma Core.

The reason why the place is called the Peaceful Volcano is that the volcano in question has been laying dormant for a very long time.

Until this present moment, the Peaceful Volcano has only ever erupted once, and ever since then it has erupted anymore or even shown any signs of erupting any time sooner.

There's actually a reason for that, and that's because the volcano has long been dormant after its Molten Magma Core was put out of place after its previous eruption.

As long as the Molten Magma Core is misplaced, the Peaecful Volcano will continue to remain dormant for the rest of its existence.

Natas knows where exactly the Molten Magma Core is situated, and he will guide Kayn to it. And unlike the other items, the latter doesn't have to fight any Monsters in order to get the Molten Magma Core.

The only thing that's possibly going to hinder their way is the chance that there are other Heroes or Villains that are also looking for the Molten Magma Core inside the Peaceful Volcano.

After all, following the unexpected event that took place during the time they were looking for the Springwater Source Bonsai, they can never eliminate anymore the likelihood that someone else is on the same mission as them to look for those items.

Moreover, there's also another unknown variable that has been causing them to worry — Chief Kylo.

"The closer we are to our goal, the more I am starting to feel that something bad is about to happen to us," Kayn expresses his concern.

"Is it because there's an impending war currently going on?"

"The Assembly of Freedom," Kayn corrected. "I always feel anxious whenever there is a matter related to the Circus,"

"That's understandable," After all, there's no way of telling what exactly they are planning on doing. And because of their nature, bad things always come about wherever they go.

Kayn added. "There's also the matter regarding the Kingmaker,"

"And there's also that…" Natas heaves a heavy sigh to express his worry. Now he is starting to feel the same as Kayn. "Assembly of Freedom… War… Chief Kylo… and the Kingmaker…"

"This would have been a lot easier if we were only faced with one problem,"

"I am afraid that's going to be impossible since although this war is not related to our goal, we've been unexpectedly pulled into this mess when we decided to assist Old Chief George,"

"Well, we had the choice back then to stay out of this matter… If only we did…"

"There's no use regretting it now. You only did what you thought was right," Natas patted Kayn's shoulder to comfort him. "I understand that you have bad blood with the Circus. Who wouldn't? That's why you decided to help Old Chief George. Anyways, what's done is done. And since there's no way for us to predict what's about to happen next, let's just hope for the best and proceed cautiously and carefully with our next goal,"

"I understand,"

Despite the fact that he reincarnated back in time, possesses a lot of knowledge about the future, and has a lot of experiences, that doesn't necessarily guarantee that everything would be easy for him. Furthermore, he is currently not traversing a path that he had previously experienced, so he is only able to take advantage of some of the advantages of being a reincarnator.

"How about you take out the Mountain Heart Flower and the Springwater Source Bonsai?" Natas changed the topic.

"Why?"

"You need to understand how the two items work individually and together,"

"I guess that would temporarily take my mind off my worries," Kayn waves his hand to take out the Springwater Source Bonsai and Mountain Heart Flower as he and Natas started experimenting and researching the two items.

…..

Two days passed, and finally, they reached their destination — Peaceful Volcano.

Fortunately, there's a Town close to the Peaceful Volcano, unlike the Mountain Monkey's Lair. So, they have less to worry about. It's also situated very close to the Peaceful Volcano.

Everyone quickly disembarked from the Guardian Turtle one by one as Jude ordered it to hide in the meantime in the ocean.

Kayn also ordered the Goblins. "Gnarlak, tell your men to stay hidden in the forest and don't ever reveal yourselves to anyone,"

He threw a Storage Ring to Gnarlak which the latter quickly caught. "There is enough supply to last for an entire week inside. So, there's no need for any of you to go hunting. We would also return after we finish dealing with what we need in the Town,"

"Have a safe journey," Gnarlak and the rest of the Goblins bid a temporary farewell to Kayn and the others.

Afterward, they began their journey to the Town nearby.

The name of the Town is Serenity Town, which is derived from none other than the Peaceful Volcano near it.

They soon entered Serenity Town after passing the inspection of the guards at the gate. As all of them came from reputable Villages and Towns, the process was completed very quickly.

"There's finally a proper place to rest!" Gilbert exclaimed as his mood lifted up.

"After all those days, we could now start resupplying our needs," Jude expressed his thoughts. All the supplies they bought previously have been close to running out because of the newly added group of Goblins.

"Let's split the group into two," Friedrich immediately suggested. "One group goes around the town to gather information about the Peaceful Volcano, while the second group stocks up our supply in the market,"

"Kimberly, Chastine, Natasha, Jude, Charles, Cyril, and Carter would be in group two,"

"While the rest would be in group one,"

"Anyone against it?"

Kayn raises his hand.

Friedrich narrowed his eyes. "What's the matter? Do you want to be part of the second group?"

"I want to take care of something alone if it's okay with all of you?"

"Absolutely not!" Gilbert refuses. "Have you forgotten? You are the number one target of Chief Kylo,"

"I know," Of course, he wouldn't forget that. "But there's seriously nothing that I can do if I go with any of the group. And moreover, we are inside a Town right now. Even if Chief Kylo finds me or any of his men, they wouldn't dare to attack me right on the spot,"

After thinking for a bit, Gilbert responded. "I guess you're right,"

"All of you go do your own things. I have something to take care of, so I'll be going first. Let's meet up at the shore where we landed once we finish taking care of our respective tasks,"

With that being said, Kayn left the group to tour around Serenity Town alone.

Needless to say, that was obviously going to be impossible.

Not long after, he notices Gilbert secretly following him.

"If this was in the past, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you if you decide to follow me. But I am no longer the same as before," Kayn muttered under his breath.

In the next moment, Kayn started moving around in weird and seemingly random patterns.

He went inside the alleyways nearby but goes out once more from where he came from.

He enters a store, but would later on go out from another store.

Lastly, he entered a carriage that started traveling to another part of Serenity Town. But when the carriage arrived and the door opens, Kayn couldn't be found inside.

"I actually lost him…" Gilbert couldn't believe it. "Damn him! I was only worried. How dare he do this to me!"

Meanwhile, Kayn is now inside a store that sells different types of books. Needless to say, he wasn't here to read books.

"How may I help you?" A female receptionist asked.

"Do you have any Skill Books for the Assassin Class and Knight Class available?"

"Yes we do, they're over at the second floor and third floor. Do you want me to ask someone to be your assistant as you look for what you need?"

"No thank you," Kayn shook his head before proceeding to the second floor.

Skill Books. Just like what its name suggests, they are books related to skills that are being used by the different classes that exist inside the 'Tower'.

However, unlike other books and how they are normally used, Skill Books are consumables that allow one to automatically inherit or learn how to execute the listed skill once they used them as if such knowledge has long and always been existing in their minds. Needless to say, they won't necessarily become a master in using the said skill and would still have to undergo proper and extensive training to increase their level of mastery and be able to properly use it.

In other words, Skill Books is just like a key that can open a locked door for a new skill to be available for one to use.

And without even needing to say it himself, Kayn is obviously here right now to learn more skills and increase the number of the available skills he could use.
