"Would you like me to accompany you, Asher?" Kiana held on to the report.

"If you wish to accompany me, then you are free to do so." Lucius said. "But did we fully settle the bill with Leif? Or is there anything else that might take prime importance?"

He didn\'t mind Kiana\'s presence, but Lucius still preferred to be alone most of the time. People could be distracting, and for this particular task, he didn\'t actually need any hands.

"There are always tasks that I do perform around the mansion, but if you need me, I can assign them to other people in the staff." Kiana said.

"Hmm… well, it\'s nothing really that important." Lucius shrugged, and then eyed her. "You can perform your other tasks first and perhaps meet with me later. I don\'t think I\'ll actually be staying in the lab long. I\'ll just check what June has left for me."

"Okay…" Kiana said. "Please don\'t take too long. I\'m sure that the Countess would like to see you present for the meals if possible. The Count has yet to return and it does make the Madam lonely, though she won\'t admit."

"Alright. I\'ll make sure that I\'m present for the next meal." Lucius nodded.

He was interested in catching up news with whatever actually transpired for the past few days as well as perhaps inform the Countess about the baronies.

Countess Lita herself might have information too about them, depending on the circumstances.

Either way, Lucius still needed to perform the duties of a filial son every now and then because of how he was able to obtain what he wanted through the resources of the Inanis Family.

Luckily for him, the Count and Countess allowed him enough room to do as he wished and if that had not been the case… well, Lucius would have had his methods.

"I\'ll take my leave now, Kiana." Lucius bade her goodbye.

"Take care, Asher! I\'ll join you shortly."

In the end, Kiana watched Asher leave the room, a little confused. She didn\'t understand what the young lord meant when June left him something because all she could remember was the human rune crystal.

"That\'s the only thing that I can remember." Kiana frowned and rubbed her chin. "What else could she have left for him to go back to the lab if not for the rune crystal?"

However, it was far from the case.

All the talk of investigation reminded Lucius that June was a spy, and while she was indeed dead as Kiana had put it, it didn\'t mean that was all there it was to it.

Lucius made haste and traveled from the Inanis Family mansion and returned to the re education center. Soon after, Lucius stepped inside of the laboratory and walked back in towards the table.

The cache of June\'s supplies still laid there mostly untouched.

"I would have checked up on it immediately when June was still alive, but it took the Lost a bit of time to search for it." Lucius muttered to himself. "She had hidden it quite well to prevent others from stumbling upon it by accident."

And during the time that the Lost had retrieved at last, Lucius had been preoccupied with other things like the Dionsyia Brewery, the re education center and informing himself more of the rune beast knowledge.

"June said that she was able to observe the war despite not being anywhere close to the battlefield, and with that description alone, it means that I\'m no doubt dealing with this world\'s version of a telescope."

Lucius knew that a lot of the technology these people had were mostly still in a medieval-like age, but they were able to recreate things that modern advancement had achieved through their gifts and artifacts.

He remembered the instructions that Head Healer Berk was able to give to the healers when they had been treating Keith Drew before.

What they weren\'t able to get from actual technology, they afforded so with ingenuity and their gifts.

"Alright, let\'s see what we have here." Lucius unlocked the cache and quickly ignored the supplies that he had asked the Lost to get for him. "I\'ve asked them to get everything that was useful… but for now, there we have it. It must be here."

Lucius picked up a small box that was quite secure. And it showed that the item inside of it was precious. Lucius opened it and saw something that resembled a telescope, in a compressed form.

There was soft cushioning that prevented it from getting damaged. He carefully picked it up and hummed slightly.

"It\'s not too heavy or light, which I suppose is perfect for people who\'ll have to hold it for an extended amount of time, and while I can remark on its functionality compared to a modern one, that\'s not what we\'re here for."

Lucius eyed the small rune crystal that was embedded on its top and immediately activated Nexus.

Gift Name: Zoom

Description: Allows the user to see from afar.

Rank: Rare

Type: Enhancement

Evolution: Not possible

"Hmmm… well, its description basically tells me what it is and so does the gift name, but luckily, I was able to read about which rune beast it belonged to."

According to what Lucius read before, the Zoom gift belonged to the Yellow Winged Hawk. It was a rune beast that flew up very high and was rarely seen other than when it finally swooped down to catch its prey.

It was how its Zoom gift proved to be very useful.

"Of course, it doesn\'t seem much since I knew of the existence of a telescope beforehand, but it is intriguing how these people really found a way to replicate and even improve a telescope this way." Lucius said as he held the artifact.

It took the right person and the right resources to be able to create a telescope. You could have one but not the other and that could have prevented it from coming into existence, and yet people here found the way at this age.

"Now, I suppose I\'ll keep this with me for now, but also check if it\'s available in the market." Lucius said. It was indeed useful for investigations.
