The moment I mentioned the "dream," a sharp tension crossed Uncle's face.It wasn't surprising.
This wouldn't be the first time someone claimed to have seen something in a dream.
After all, the Tower was mysterious.Very mysterious.
If I remembered correctly, this phenomenon was called—
"Fated Inheritance."
It was a rare ancient skill once used by powerful awakeners.By using it, they could store fragments of knowledge or treasure inside the Tower.The Tower would then, according to their will:
hide it inside a suitable dungeonor
give it directly or indirectly to a "chosen" person.
Most cases were never recorded publicly.Some people gained unimaginable power from it.
That's why the "dream" excuse worked.Uncle had no reason to doubt it.
After a full minute of silence, he finally looked into my eyes.
"Tell me more about it."
"I don't know. I just… saw the recipe."
He frowned, but nodded moments later.
That was normal.Fated inheritances usually came in fragments, not full memories.
"Alright," he said slowly. "Arthur, if what you said is true… then not only can we heal Valeri, but this could become a massive opportunity. People in the Tower would pay anything for such a cure."
A small knowing smile appeared on my face.
"Yes. I'm well aware."
The difficult part was over.
I reached into my pocket and handed him a sheet of paper listing all the materials needed to brew the potion.
He took it and read silently.
His expression changed repeatedly as he scanned each line.
"—Soul Pear—Core of a Master-rank Abyss Beast—White Sun Stone—Moon-Kissed Stone—Blood of a Mutant Soul-Devouring Serpent—Spiritual Shell of a Black Turtle…"
He finally looked up.
"Boy, most of these are rare-rank items. They won't be too hard to find. But the Soul Pear and the serpent's blood… those two are extremely rare. Mutants are no joke, and Soul Pears only form in places rich with conceptual energy."
"I understand." I nodded. "But… how long will it take to find them?"
I wasn't trying to rush him—but I wanted Mother healed as soon as humanly possible.
Uncle raised an eyebrow.
"Huh? Did you forget who I am?" A small grin formed."Give me a minute. I'm as eager as you to see my little chaos well again."
Before I could respond—
he vanished.
Tower Resonance.
After awakening, anyone could enter the Tower's main area simply by focusing on it.Uncle didn't have spatial abilities—House Crestban was famous for fire and sword—but Tower Resonance bypassed all that.
Just a minute later, he reappeared.
And he was smiling softly.
"Let's go to the lab in the mansion. A Grandmaster-rank alchemist is already there taking care of Valeri. He will help you."
My heart tightened.
Mother…
This time, I wouldn't let her fate remain the same.
