The Moon Thief

Chapter 16: Invite



Heinald spent the next five days going to the library and searching for books on the concept of 'Spirit Cultivation' in shops of the city. He could predict that his earnings would increase rapidly in the future. When he had more earnings, he could look for various resources to become a Level 1 Ainsar, but he had to learn enough information first.

He knew some basic things from his grandfather's teachings, but through the his new eyes, he was able to obtain a lot of information completely and quickly. Using this advantage,he could gain more advanced knowledge and inferences. This would make his knowledge foundation much stronger.

As Heinald sat at his desk, he noticed that the crystal card was glowing, he picked it up and began to examine it.

"Your order has arrived."

When Heinald saw the text on the card, he immediately left the mansion and went to the Blue Hawk.

"Greetings! I'm here to take my order." Heinald smiled slightly, and Benson was at his desk as he was last time.

"Put your card on the book in front of me." Benson opened the black book in front of him, a notebook similar to the one in the Trading Room.

Heinald placed his card on the book, and two writings appeared on the page, one after the other.

"Material Fee: 30 Arkana Stones" "Transaction Fee: 2 Arkana Stones"

Heinald paid the fee he had to pay, to Benson.

"Follow me!" Benson got up and went down the stairs, stopping at the door of the room opposite the Trading Room.

"Hold your card towards the door!" Benson pointed to the door. When Heinald held his card at the door, a purple light flashed inside the room.

"You'll find your order inside." Benson pointed to the door and left in order not to violate the privacy policy.

When Heinald walked in, he saw a jar inside a big purple sphere.There were three Messoy Mushrooms in the jar. Heinald made the necessary checks and sent the jar into the dimensional pocket of his robe.

"A really effective system is used. Behind this crystal card must be a large and complex formation." Heinald muttered.

After Heinald had finished his work he left and prepared to go back to the Rinemoth Manor, but a familiar voice called out to him.

"Heinald!"

When Heinald turned, he saw Leina and a man with long gray hair and short beard.

"Oh?Leina!"

"What are you doing here?" Leina asked.

"I was looking for some materials that I needed.What about you?" Heinald waved his hand slowly.

Likewise, my father and I are here for some of our needs.

"Sir!" Heinald bowed his head and greeted Ainsar before him. Leina's father had the energy waves of mid-phase Level 1 Ainsar.

"Greeting my young friend, I am Rendes Aynaz. Leina has talked about you a lot. You saved her life according to what she told me!"

"It wasn't a big deal. Everyone would do it." Heinald behaved modestly.

"Someone else would probably run from there without ever looking back. I really want to thank you sincerely. I would like to host you for dinner." Rendes kindly invited him to dinner.

Heinald was going to dinner in the evening. Since he had more time, he immediately returned to the mansion and prepared the mixture he needed to harden his bones. Finding the Messoy Mushrooms was a challenge, but fortunately the mixture was not difficult to make. Heinald had prepared the mixture in about an hour.

"Disgusting!!" Heinald had one thought in mind when he drank the mixture in one go.This mixture he drank was really awful.

*pop*

Voices began to come from Heinald's bones. He felt burning and itching in all his bones. This situation lasted for a few minutes, and the purpose of this mixture was to harden the bones. This potion was important to Heinald because hard bones meant a strong defense. After a few minutes his body felt a little heavier.

*Grum!*

"Nice!" When Heinald punched the wall, his hand only hurt a little.This meant he had positive results. He was happy with the result, so he was in good mood. After taking a quick bath, she got ready for dinner. Leina had said that her father was interested in Formations. Heinald was definitely going to bring it up this evening. Formations were very interesting.

"This is a good opportunity! It would be very helpful to seek advice from someone who is knowledgeable about the patterns. At least it will help me understand the basics better." Heinald muttered.

When Heinald had finished all his preparations, he left the mansion and started to go to the address given to him. After a few hours' journey he managed to reach the address given to him.There was a two-story villa in front of him.Even though it was much smaller and unassuming than the Rinemoth Mansion, it still looked quite beautiful.

"Heinald, welcome!" Leina had seen Heinald coming while sitting in the garden, immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Leina!" Heinald smiled slightly and Leina was wearing a dark blue dress. It was the first time that Heinald saw her in a dress. She looked even more stylish and beautiful in this dress.

"You came just in time,the feast has just been prepared. Come in, let's go inside." Leina made a signal to Heinald to follow her, and when they got in together they passed a long corridor and entered a large hall.

Rendes Aynaz greeted Heinald upon seeing him and thanked him once again for not refusing the invitation.

"Come on, let's start eating." Rendes pointed to the table.

Heinald sat in the chair opposite Leina and they started talking on various topics while they were eating.

"I heard that the families of those who died in the cave came together." Leina took a sip of her wine.

"They came together?" Heinald raised his eyebrows.

"They probably wanted to find out what was happened... Normally I would like to tell them what happened. However, some of them would probably blame me." Leina shrugged.

"You are right." Heinald nodded.

Families certainly wouldn't believe that only two survivors were lucky.

"Leina told me you were dealing with Potion Brewing. It's really impressive that you can brew potions at such a young age." Rendes took a sip of his drink.

"Thank you." Heinald smiled slightly.

"What potions can you brew?" Rendes asked.

"I am able to brew Low-Level Constitution Potion and Low-Level Healing Potion flawlessly. I am still getting experienced in making Medium Level Strength Potion, yet I have only successfully brewed three bottles." Heinald smiled proudly.

"Oh? Medium Level Strength Potion is a precious and difficult potion. I've heard that some people interested in potion brewing have done hundreds of unsuccessful experiments to brew this potion." Rendes scratched his chin.

"Yes, it is a very difficult potion to make." Heinald nodded.

"How many failed experiments have you done to successfully brew?" Rendes asked.

"Thirty." Heinald actually succeeded in just a few tries, but if he told the truth, no one would probably believe it.

"What!? Are you serious?" Rendes was shocked, and Heinald could see the twitching muscles in his face.

"Yes..."

"Sorry about my reaction, I was just pretty surprised." Rendes took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth." Brewing such a difficult potion with so little failure means you are a genius."

There was a short silence.

"If I am not mistaken, Leina told me that you are interested in Formations." Heinald changed the subject.

"Right! I am conducting experiments and studies on Formations." Rendes nodded.

"I am really intrested about Formations. It would be really nice to hear some advice from you." Heinald scratched his chin.

"Besides Potion Brewing, do you want to deal with Formations?" Rendes asked.

"Yes." Heinald nodded.

"Don't think formations are easy concepts. The higher the levels of the formations, the higher their complexity and difficulty. " Rendes cautioned severely.

"I can predict it." Heinald was so courageous because he had his overpowered eyes, otherwise he would not have had the time and resources to deal with such a difficult field. Potion Brewing was already a very difficult area. Besides, to deal with formations, you had to be either a top fool or a divine genius.

After dinner, Rendes, Leina and Heinald went to a large room under the villa.

"First I want to ask you a question. Do you know what is the foundation of Formations?" Rendes walked towards a large chest.

"No." Heinald shook his head.

"Runes! In ancient times, Ainsars believed that the foundation of the universe was built with runes." Rendes took out a large blue glowing globe from inside the chest.

"Runes ..." Heinald scratched his chin.

"Each Rune has a different energy effect. These runes come together to form Seals. Seals come together to form Magic Pentagrams." Rendes waved his hand slightly.

"Magic Pentagrams?" Heinald's brows frowned slightly.

"Leina, can you give me your buckle?" Rendes asked.

"Watch carefully!" Rendes glanced at Heinald after taking the buckle.
