The journey was long and time consuming, but Keith didn't have to struggle for food as the carriage passed though multiple cities, towns and villages. He spent the time on teaching Caleb many things, especially things that were related to air and the winds.
He also sparred with him and realised that Caleb was very aggressive, always going for the sensitive parts in his opponent's body. Keith actually learned more from Caleb during the sparring sessions thanks to his SSS Rank Battle Instinct.
Apart from this, he also did his daily task of depleting his mental energy by speeding up time to two times normal for an hour at first and did it everyday until it increased to almost 81 minutes by the end of the month.
Keith also got his tax on the first few days of his travel and picked the Fists of Steel, which Vincent had already upgraded to SSS grade.
By the time the two of them had reached the Bromburge town, a month had already passed and Keith let Caleb rest in an inn while he took off to the village where Fabian resided. As he rushed over, he opened up his system screen and sent out a quest for Vincent who was in one of Baroma Kingdom's cities.
[Emergency Quest: An unknown system administrator has found Village Chief Fabian and has decided to grant him a system. Since you have developed well for the past few months, this is the best time to attack him, to kill him before he develops.]

Quest Completion: Free upgrade of any skill to S rank

Keith silently watched Vincent panic for a few seconds before it turned into rage. As Vincent grabbed his things and left, Keith knew that his plan was working.
As he ran through the forest, he put on his skull mask and checked the time left for his next tax collection.
'Two days... alright.' he thought as he looked up at the sky that was getting dark and sped up as he knew that he was close to the village now. Just a few minutes later, right as the run completely set, he reached the village.
There was a lot of noise and as Keith hid in the bushes, he could see that the people were setting up a bonfire which clearly meant that they were celebrating something.
He silently took out a silver ring from his spatial dimension and tossed it into the sky. The ring flew up dropped down near the bonfire. Some people noticed it, but none of them dared to move to grab it as they didn't know if it was their village chief's test or not.
None of them wanted to offend the tyrant.
Fabian had also noticed the ring and he looked around suspiciously. He knew that none of his villagers were rich enough to have silver rings as their own, so he could tell that there was someone who had infiltrated into his village.
Little did he know, Keith was far away, hiding in a bush. His eyesight had been enhanced thanks to the eye patch, so he didn't need to be close to observe things properly.
Keith saw Fabian look around cautiously and chuckled, 'He hasn't changed much.'
He then began to shoot out his system seeds into the villagers and did not miss Fabian. Once he was done with everyone, he left the place silently and rushed back towards Bromburge town.
As he walked, he checked everyone's information and saw that there were four awakened in the village other than Fabian, all of them who had undesirable abilities. Seeing this, Keith ignored them and focused on Fabian, sending over his Body Cultivation System.

Seeing his status screen, he felt extremely satisfied. His patience had paid off but he knew that he couldn't just slack off yet. As he continued to walk, his thoughts went back to the increase in time that he got from expending almost all of his mental energy.
'When I started it, the amount of time I could keep up the time boost of two times was just sixty minutes, and now I can go on for approximately eighty one minutes. Welp, I should be able to make some sense of it when I take a proper look at the notes I made I guess.' he thought as he took out a small notepad that was the size of his palm and opened it.
