Chapter 105: Returning Empty Handed
"Young lord, I may not be as knowledgeable about the mana stones as you are, however, I can still update you about it as long as you like." Victor said with a smile, his legs trembling from fear.
"Oh, you want to help me?" Aur's gazed at the man with amusement. "No, I don't need it." He shook his head.
"Yes, young lord." Victor obediently bowed and returned back to his place from before as silently as possible with his heart beating faster than he could ever imagine it to be.
"What did that lord tell?" His coworkers whispered against him.
Hearing this, Victor remained silent as he looked at his co-worker and the employers who were behind them, all looking at him with a tentative expression.
A sly smirk crept into his mouth.
"Well, the young lord doesn't need anything for now. However, if there are any problems, he would use me as a handyman." Victor said with a proud smile on his face.
Hearing this, the people who were surrounding were all shocked.

"Truly the opportunity presents itself, however, because of the risk, I didn't take." His co-worker said with a bitter smile on his face.
Although the crowd behind them were all silent, their eyes glinted, looking at Victor in a new light.
The night soon passed as Aur returned home.
However, except for a new pouch that was hanging by his pouch, there was also the disappointed expression of Aur.
"I couldn't find it." Aur thought with a bitter expression as he was returning to the town.
Although from the diary of Sebastian, it was clear that the inheritance he had gotten was from that shop itself, Aur was clear about it, however, the shape of it was rather unclear and was not stated as clearly as it should have been.
"The mana stone was small and had irregular pole shapes."
This was the sentence written in the diary. It wouldn't have been a problem in another case, however, there were literally almost half the mana stones there in that shape itself described by Sebastian, like finding a needle in a haystack.
It was simply impossible for Aur to buy it, although he was tempted to buy all the mana stone that looked that way, but it would cause unnecessary trouble for no reason.
There were at least a hundred stones that almost matched the description of Sebastian, and each one would cost around one middle-grade mana crystal, a terrifying amount that would cause even Aur an heartache.
"Oh well, at least I didn't return empty-handed." Aur took out the pouch and looked at it with his eyes brightening.
He wanted to buy a space storage bag for a long time.
However, it was very rare in the village to buy one, and even if he could find one, the expense would be too high because of the demand.
This was his only chance of getting a storage bag, and he did get it for just a small price of thirty middle-grade mana crystals for a relatively bigger storage bag which was at least ten times bigger than his space storage he had gotten from his system.
Suddenly, Aur caught William walking from the corner of his eyes and looked at the blond man.
William was walking with two women behind him, one was his maid, Angel, and the other was…
Aur's gaze narrowed. "It's that woman I saved?" He thought while bending his head with a little confusion.
"So, she is back again?" Aur thought with confusion as he suddenly felt an eerie feeling build up inside him.
Not because of the woman but instead because he had a feeling just one of an ominous thing.
"Maybe I shouldn't have intervened in the visions I see…" His crimson eyes narrowed. However, that wasn't the option since he needed to prevent his own death and his family too.
"What are you thinking? Aur, I thought your heart was firmer than these." Aur shook his head and left the place.
William sneezed.
"What happened, young master?" Angel and Agatha asked simultaneously.
"Hmm, someone must be remembering me. Forget it." William shook his head.
"Lily, show me all the valuable things in the caravan, and I will buy it." Since he was the disciple of Noah, he didn't lack in cultivation resources at all as Noah really showed him with every cultivation he needed.
Far beyond William could even think, just for this caravan, Noah had given him a high-grade mana crystal, just for today.
…
Aur slowly started his training again, spending the middle-grade mana crystal he had just gotten into his cultivation resources.
He didn't actually care much about the spell at all with his strong body. In fact, he didn't even really need a spell at all.
The people around his level could all be crushed at will if Aur used even a small percentage of strength, even William wasn't a problem at all.
So all needed was to increase his wizard tier to hide his actual body strength, that would be enough for Aur.
Aur slowly trained the entire two days in deep seclusion, cutting his connection entirely from the outside world for two days straight.
After he came out of his seclusion, he ate to his fill and stored some of the energy for later.
It was one of the benefits he had received from the cleansing that he had gotten.
Although Aur hadn't first noticed it as it was very subtle, but now he could fully understand his entire body after he had broken through the limits of the mortal.
He could not only store his energy in his body for future use, he could even change his bone structure. And the most important attribute he had gotten from his cleansing was that no device could ever hope to record his face.
That is, As long as he didn't want to!
