An Experiment With Knowledge

[Third Person POV],

After seeing and confirming that George Winter and his army were truly gone and would not return to attack them, Andrew Dawn gave the order that his men should return to the settlement before sending an order out to his men who were outside the settlement and were currently heading there due to the previous emergency to return to what they were doing before.

When he did this, he only let a portion of the men go and did not message all of his men, and he intended to let the men he did not message return to the settlement to increase its manpower.

Nobody knows if the recent incident will occur again, so it is best to be prepared at all times.

This is why he still ordered the settlement security to be on high alert and report anything suspicious at all times.

It was also past time for him to obtain an item that would prevent others from peeping inside the settlement.

These were Andrew Dawn's thoughts as he continued to make more plans for himself as he could already sense a storm coming and didn't want to be caught off guard.

'She's still not here,' Andrew Dawn lamented after attempting to contact his daughter but being unable to do so due to her absence from the true world.

He tried Ace as well, and received the same message from the primordial chronicle, making him wonder if Ace, too, was not in the true world, and the guy who helped his man was not who he thought he was.

However, he didn't rule out the possibility that these two were in the true world but were in dungeons or something.

He should also ask his man to contact that helper of his, as it appears that his magical medicine may play a role in whatever storm was approaching.

'I should also ask for their name to see if they are the same person I thought they were,' Andrew Dawn thought as he went on with his work.

[Ace POV],

I went straight to the basement after my discussion with my teammate.

I was tired, so I decided to take a short rest in my room and plan out my next steps based on what I had just learned from my teammates.

According to what I've heard from my teammates, something was going to happen in the true world in 10 days, which was the unsealing of these new races.

And for the Dwarven king to advise someone like Emma to evolve quickly if she wanted to have a say in whatever happened next meant a lot.

It was better to say that this unsealing event was actually unsealing monsters, and whether I liked it or not, I was going to run into this race.

And in the time I had left before the races' unsealing, I thought it would be better if I could evolve as well.

The path to finishing my job quest is now visible, but all I need is time, which I don't have even with the alternate dimension in play.

It was even a race to the time limit depending on which angle I looked at it from. In any case, it didn't change the fact that I needed to get stronger and I had an idea that could help me.

I've been thinking for a while that I've been wasting the advantage I've had all this time, which is understandable given that I didn't have the coins required to keep thinking about it.

The store is the advantage I was referring to. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

There are a lot of things that could make me stronger in the store and there was this one section in the store that could make the progress regarding my job faster and even potentially make me stronger and that was the knowledge section of the store.

One of the factors that has brought me to my current stage and could even be called my foundation is the basic alchemy knowledge I brought from the store in the beginning but as time passed, I began to notice a problem I kept ignoring due to the lack of coins I had on hand before.

The issue I noticed was that, while I had a lot of information in basic alchemy knowledge in my head, it was also limited.

Alchemy was a combination of different things, and while there was some information about the various aspects of it, it was still limited, and I noticed that this indirectly affected me.

It affected me because, while the basic alchemy knowledge in my head provided information about the various aspects of alchemy that were related to it, it only provided general information rather than detailed information, despite the basic alchemy knowledge providing information about rank 0 items to rank 2 items.

It's similar to how the economics course in school included maths but didn't focus on everything related to maths and just gave a broad overview of it.

This became clear when I attempted to make a rune for the first time.

Although I succeeded on my first attempt, I noticed there were a lot of things I could have done and avoided, but the basic alchemy never stated these things and only gave me the general steps on how to engrave a rune.

This is understandable because the basic alchemy knowledge would no longer be basic if it began delving into other aspects of alchemy when other knowledge could be obtained from the store regarding these aspects.

My plan in the past was to purchase knowledge about these aspects of alchemy, but I didn't have the coins to do so, but things are different now.

I had enough coins to purchase a variety of alchemical basics such as runes, potion making, blacksmithing, formations, and so on.

Aside from that, I considered purchasing items related to magic, such as how to manipulate it and its fundamentals.

The only uncertainty was whether it would be superior to Emma's guidance.
