"The Basic Scouting Skill costs 100 coins, Sylas," Olivia suddenly said.

Another surprise.

Sylas had no idea that Skills could just be bought like that, but he was also a bit hesitant to ask more questions. The more he revealed what he didn't know, the more they would be able to deduce about him.

Things seemed harmonious now, but the words of Astrid still echoed in his mind.

She claimed that it was human disharmony that led to their downfall during the Sixth Summoned Ascension. They took drastic steps to mitigate that, race mixing to the point there were no obvious traits that distinguished them. The entire world even spoke just a single language. But if Sylas knew humans… there was always a way.

If it wasn't race, it would be location, if not location, then it would be class. If not class, it could even become something like hobbies or skill or anything of the sort.

The fact that the survivors of the Sixth Summoned Ascension chose to take such drastic measures told him all he needed to know. The capacity of humans to be disharmonious was like a malignant cancer.

"Alright," Sylas said.

By this point, Vorak's corpse had already begun to emit a light of Aether. Then, it coalesced into an orb that had its innards obscured by a fog.

Sylas took it and crushed it in his palms. Maybe he should have waited until later, but he felt that he had already shown too many signs of standoffishness and distrust just now. In the end, he had to maintain a balance.

While Sylas seemed to act one way, he was quite adept socially. At the very least, Morgan was right about the fact he could blend in easily enough while also being himself.

They were all working together right now, and he had to show a carrot after using the stick. As for his questions, didn't he have the Madness Key? It wasn't as though he'd be able to break free of the 50 Physical cap anytime soon.

[Yes] [No]

Sylas immediately chose [No]. He had already confirmed with the Madness Key that his hypothesis was correct. The further he could push himself at Level 0, the better he would be.
