Contemplating
[Ace POV],
They say that knowledge is power, and I agreed with them, but things could be very different when it ca to magical matters.
For one thing, if I had a lot of knowledge about rune making before I started, I would have known what I needed to do and would not have failed in my first visualisation of a rune through sketching.
This could also be attributed to my inexperience, but inexperience also included a lack of knowledge.
This could also be justified in terms of magic.
IfIf I knew more about magic, I would have known the difference between manipulating mana and casting spells, and now that I think about it, this is what separates Emma and because she knows more about magic than I do.
All of these factors contributed to my lack of knowledge and how it affected .
I suppose that being ignorant in an unfamiliar world where death could happen at any ti was a killing factor for oneself.
Pure power is still important, but it is not far more important than knowledge.
The only reason I'm still here is because I'm still debating whether it's a good idea for to use the coins in my hand now to gain more knowledge.
It is obviously a good idea, but there are other things I could do with the coins I have, such as purchase more alchemy materials and continue doing what I was doing before.
Because I didn't have a lot of gold coins in my hand, I didn't get very far with alchemy and could only make pills, but looking back, it's not like my progress is still being slowed down due to a lack of knowledge.
If I were to create more complicated items above rank 0 in the near future, this could beco a bigger problem.
I was still creating basic items so this issue might not be that evident.
Hmmm.
As I pondered what to do next, I heard footsteps approaching my room, and when I turned my head to the open door, Anna entered imdiately after noticing that I was awake.
"Hi," she said as she approached the side of my bed, adding, "I saw the change in the basent and I ca to ask a question?"
Hearing this, I opened my mouth to speak, knowing exactly what she wanted to ask.
"What is it?" I inquired.
"Is there anywhere I can put crow in the basent that won't bother you?" She asked as I imdiately responded after hearing what she had to say, which was similar to what I had in my head when I first heard her speak.
"Isn't there still a lot of open space around?"
"Yes, but since you changed the basent so much, I'm not sure if it's even convenient for crow to still stay down here," Anna said as I realised what she was trying to say.
Seeing this, I slowly got out of bed before making my way out of the room, and I decided to just use this opportunity to show her where she could place the crow that I thought would not cause problems later.
I was able to return to my room after I sent Anna away after spending a few more minutes in the basent with Anna due to the matter concerning her summon location in the basent and sge asking about the change that happened here and what I've been up to.
But before I could return to my bed, I ca to a halt and decided to take a bath because the sweat that had been on since my return from the true world had begun to bother .
Thinking about this, I exited my room before ascending to the surface to take my bath.
I returned to the mansion after cleaning myself after spending a few more dozen minutes outside the mansion in the waterfall where I took my bath.
Feeling the satisfaction of being clean, I returned to my room to continue resting.
I wasn't as exhausted as I had been when I returned from the true world, and since I didn't have anything to do, I returned to my thoughts before Anna interrupted .
It's a good thing I thought about her crow when I was rearranging the basent; otherwise, the crow would have seen a dark place to stay and I would have had to rearrange the basent again.
This would an scattering everything I had done to the basent.
That's a significant amount of stress.
I had more gold coins than a thousand, but the materials I brought from the store for rune making reduced it to around 900 gold coins.
This is still a lot of gold coins that could be used to buy a reasonable amount of alchemical materials, but after so thought, I decided against it.
I desired knowledge.
Above all else, even powerful items, this was my thirst.
As a result, I spent three free item tickets on knowledge I knew nothing about.
It ended well because the knowledge later played a role, but that does not guarantee that it will always end well for if I continue to prioritize knowledge over everything else.
But who cares?
I'm not sure I care in the first place.
After so deliberation, I decided to purchase a set of basic knowledge of the various aspects of alchemy and magic.
Gold coins were ant to be spent, and I could always make more if this choice accelerated my progress.
Knowledge was sothing that I would rember for a long ti.
As I was thinking about this, I summoned the primordial chronicle in my head and went to the knowledge sub-option in the store section, where I began searching for knowledge that I thought would be useful to .
