Chapter 368 Going Through The List
‘Whereabouts are unknown, huh?’ Though his name being written on the book had caught him slightly off guard, Valyr’s expression remained the same, adorning a bitter smile on his face as he eventually closed the book. ‘If only they knew the person they were looking for is just in disguise all this time.’
pαndα`noνɐ1–сoМ ‘In any case, I finally understand why both factions of the clan are on the lookout for me.’ Feeling like he had more or less obtained the information he needed from the books of the Myriad Archives, Valyr proceeded to return the book on the Zeihardt clan back where he had gotten it, only to start heading down the staircase sometime later.
‘And I guess that’s also why that elder called me the Herald of Humanity’s Fate during our meeting,’ thought Valyr to himself, his steps silent as he moved past the other people doing their own thing in the floor he was on. ‘In other words, a Herald is someone who inherited the blood of the founder, specifically the abnormal strength the founder had.’
‘So, it stems from [Primordial Blood of the Chosen] then.’ As this thought lingered in his mind, Valyr commanded the system to bring up the skill’s description screen in his mind as he proceeded to head down the staircase, taking on a leisurely pace as the system responded to his command not long after.

[Royal Blood of the Chosen] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: Mythic
The founder of the Zeihardt clan is said to be a being of his own caliber, having the ability to wield great amounts of strength, as well as limitless stamina and vitality. As a descendant of the founder, you have inherited a greater portion of the man’s blood compared to your peers, becoming known as a Herald of the clan.
However, as part of the Zeihardt Royal Clan, a part of the clan closely related to the founder, this blood within you is stronger, allowing you to wield a strength far greater than other Heralds could ever hope to wield.
With that, the target on your back is far larger, though surviving through these adversities would allow you to soar higher like never before.
This skill increases all of the user’s stats by 10%. It also increases the user’s maximum HP and MP by 15%.
Note: Though you have uncovered most of who you truly are, there still exists a part of you that still remains unseen. Find it, understand it, and be born anew… for you are a being that stands far above even the Heralds.

“A being that stands far above the Heralds…” Muttering out the last few words on the note that was at the end of the skill’s description screen, Valyr’s face turned solemn as he wondered what the system meant by it. With how much he knew about his identity at this point, it could be said that he had already uncovered everything important there was to know about him.
Yet the system said there was still more.
‘Is it something I’ll only be able to find out once I take a look at the Zeihardt clan for myself?’ As this question popped up in his mind, he soon recalled the question he thought of in the first place related to the Zeihardt clan, quickly realizing that he had not answered it at all.
‘My existence and the clan’s existence… what does it really have to do with Greater Beyond’s first version?’ Armed with newfound knowledge after reading through the book on the Zeihardt clan, Valyr felt like he would be able to obtain a more definite answer to the question. However, in the end, he decided to leave it be for now, thinking that he would leave it for when he headed to the Zeihardt clan.
‘Speaking of which, Augustine and Emilia Zeihardt…’ Recalling the names that were written alongside his name on the book, Valyr thought about his body’s parents and how they looked like, as well as how they treated the man before he took over.
Pondering over it in silence for a while, he eventually made a decision. ‘They’ll be the first ones I’ll contact regarding the World Quest. Though, I’ll still have to do some information gathering first before doing so.’
‘Either way, the Myriad Archives has truly widened my horizons.’ Now at the first floor of the Archives, Valyr waved goodbye and thanked the teenager that helped him out earlier before leaving, making his way back to the inn soon after as he shifted his thoughts to the things that he planned to do before the Four Pillars’ Inheritance started.
“I’ll head to the Lesser Meltierre Mountains to grab myself some Skill Keys to evolve my skills, but before that, I should consume the set of Intermediate Reinforcement Elixir I got from Riekan before I forget again.” Muttering out his thoughts out loud, Valyr roamed through the streets at a slightly brisk pace. “Speaking of which, I still haven’t submitted those weapons for those quests to the Blacksmith Guild. At this point, it’s already long overdue, I think.”
“…Would they still accept it?” Arriving at the decision to still submit the weapons to the Blacksmith Guild after he was done consuming the Intermediate Reinforcement Elixir a couple minutes later, Valyr eventually arrived at the inn, swiftly making his way to the room he and Wells occupied, only to find the latter sitting cross-legged at the man’s own room.
“Any plans on heading to the Experience Pit to increase your level in the next few days?” Passing by Wells’ room, Valyr posed a question to the man, prompting the former to open one of his eyes as he swiftly responded.
“Probably. It all depends on whether or not what I’m doing right now turns out to be a success.” Hearing those words, Valyr nodded back and gave the man a few words of encouragement before proceeding to head to his room.𝓝𝗈𝑣𝓮𝒍𝑛ℯxt.𝚌𝑜𝑀
Once there, he searched through the things he had brought along with him, eventually finding the set of Intermediate Reinforcement Elixir he had obtained from Riekan. Inwardly letting out a sigh of relief at the fact that he had brought it with him to the kingdom instead of leaving it at the village all this time, Valyr went ahead and proceeded to consume the vials one by one, allowing the energies from the elixirs to clash in his body as a feeling of newfound strength coursed throughout his body not long after.
