Chapter 79: Ch 79: Stella's Discovery
Only after satisfying Lauren and making her sleep did Rein have a chance to talk with Stella. She had mentioned in the network that she had managed to find something very interesting but refused to say anything else there as she wanted to tell Rein in person and make him impressed.
"There was one book that was hardest to decipher among all the books. I had never seen a language like that before and the script also had no similarities with anything that I had seen before.
That interested me and started to put most of my focus in my accelerated mind to see what was actually written in that book."
Now even Tasha was getting interesting. A book that even Stella needed so much time to read. It was an extremely rare case if not a completely impossible one. This book must have something important written if it was so hard to decipher.
"After analysing the book and text for quite some time, I was able to finally find some clues. Actually this book was written in a secretive way to hide some kind of information even for those days. That was the reason why it was so hard.
The language and script used in that book was not even a language, instead it was a clever inscription method developed by someone or some nation."
If that was the case then this book was a secretive and potentially important piece of information even in the days of the old. So, currently its value would be off the charts. This was truly an insanely big discovery.
"I still have not finished deciphering the whole book but almost 70 percent is done. So now I have a pretty good idea about what this book is about."
"Ahh, is it really something secretive or just some historical facts ?" Rein asked.
"This book had the record for five special inheritances for a certain old royal family. In those days, only the members of the royal family knew how to read this book.
And among those special five inheritances, I have already found out about 4 and I think there is a high chance that we can get our hands on them."
"Wow, are you sure ? Isn\'t this book, like almost a million years old ?" Tasha asked.
"Yes, but the inheritances mentioned were not something that would disappear with time, I think. For example, the most interesting thing that I found there was a dungeon where only a single person could enter and challenge it.
After successfully clearing it, one will always get a suitable skill scroll as the reward. I believe that if nothing else, this dungeon should still be there."
"Hmm, that does sound like something even an ancient royal family would hide from the world. Skills are the rarest things that could be found inside a dungeon. So, a dungeon that always rewarded a person with a suitable skill sounds almost like a fantasy. What are the other inheritances ?"
"This dungeon was the first inheritance. The second inheritance was a Memory Transfer Crystal. This crystal held knowledge and information that this royal family had collected for generations, so it was extremely valuable.
It was written that if any member of the royal family was able to inherit even just 50 percent of the memory, then he would be given a special status even among the royals. There were supposed to be lots of memory there, so digesting it was extremely hard.
So it depended on the talent of the royals to absorb more memories."
"Hmm, that does sound like something that Stella would like and probably Rein would also give it a try but it\'s not really very useful for us right ? At least I\'m definitely not going to try it out."
Seeing Tasha belittling her discovery Stella started to sulk. Seeing this Rein smiled and attacked Tasha back a little bit.
"Are you sure ? There might be recorded information about ancient assassination techniques. At least there will be some historical incidents recorded there about how someone got assassinated. You can use them as a reference too."
Hearing that it was now Tasha\'s turn to sulk. If there was really any information about assassination, she was definitely going to check it out. But still she was unwilling to completely give up and said -
"But for that to happen, this memory crystal thing needed to be intact. So much time has passed so I think the chance of it still being in the perfect shape is rather low."
If that is the case, then we can do nothing about it. But there is no problem in trying to find it first. What if it is still in working condition."
"Now, now. Allow me tell you all about the third inheritance. It is something called the "Lake of Nirvana". This lake had the ability to make someone be reborn and in the process that person\'s potential would rise by a degree or two.
But there was a catch. Not everyone was capable of bathing in the Lake of Nirvana. To even touch the water, a person needed to have a very high degree of talent. If a person with low talent even touches the water, that person might immediately die.
This was again an item that might be able to help the conquerors a little bit by giving them a power up but it was not a very important thing in the grand scheme of things.
"As for the fourth inheritance, it is an item called the Tower of Sovereign\'d Grace. This was not an item which came into existence inside a dungeon. But instead this tower was created by a powerful and talented person. Actually this tower was some kind of trial.
The person who created it was definitely extremely good at illusions and stuff as that was the exact technique that had been used in this tower."
As soon as Rein heard about how this tower worked he immediately became interested in it. He then asked Stella about the type of trial and also about the rewards one could get by fulfilling the trial.
There was a very detailed description of the trial in that book and that was also the part which she was currently deciphering. So she told Rein that she would tell him the full story the next day. Rein agreed and went back to having fun with his lovers.
...
The reason why Rein was interested in this tower was because of one of his past experiences. The opportunity that Rein considered to be the greatest of his life had very similar functions to this tower.
There was something very peculiar about young Rein who was just a little over 10 years old. He did not look like a normal 10 year old at all. Everything about him was way more mature.
This was a phenomenon that mostly only happened with reincarnated people. Or if a child was getting possessed by a foreign more older soul. At that time, if anyone knew Rein intimately, that person would definitely suspect those things about him.
But fortunately or unfortunately, the Rein of that time was much more cold and distant. As a child he had no interest in women at all, let alone a desire to be with one. But one day suddenly everything changed about him.
This type of thing was very abnormal. Even if he was a very intelligent person and child prodigy, he would still need to experience many summers and winters to truly understand many things while accumulating many experiences. So how did Rein gain his experience without going through so much trouble.
The thing responsible for that was obviously the most mysterious thing of this world, a dungeon. But not any normal type of dungeon but the most mysterious and rarest one that almost no one had ever heard about.
Just like Lucia\'s new dungeon, it was a story mode dungeon. But not a normal story mode dungeon but a very very high class one that allowed a person to live a whole new life inside the dungeon without making that person aware that it was not actually his real life.
Not only that but this was an extremely rare one time dungeon. Only a single person could ever challenge it and no matter the result this dungeon would disappear from this world after that. There was also no clearing condition for this dungeon. It was something that was just to be experienced.
In that dungeon, Rein lived a total of nine new and full lives. Every time his position in the society was different and his experience was also different. In some of the lives he died early and in some he died late.
But one thing was common for all the lives, Rein had lived all of his lives to the fullest and always died without leaving behind any regrets.
