At the end of the day, even Liam thought that 2500 Arcanium was a pretty high price for some information about a region.
The Arcane Apocalypse had just begun which meant that an entire region could be turned upside down in an instant. Nonetheless, Liam paid the price willingly. He knew that he was in need of the information he would obtain, and it was an investment that might actually save his life a few times.
He could avoid various monsters with one or two Arcane circles, and circle around a place that shouldn't be visited with his equipment and strength. Furthermore, he could earn back his investment and even make a big profit by visiting places with rare monsters, whose corpses could be sold for a small fortune.
The detailed information should also be enough to tell him about the topography of the Jula Valley and the surrounding regions. He would get to know details about the unique places that had been altered by Arcane Power as well.
