Alex held one of the rewards he received after becoming an Oathkeeper.
It was none other than a High-Grade Magic Crystal, which would unlock his magic stat.
One of the reasons he wanted to go to Briarwood Village was to meet Charles. But another reason was that he also wished to gain the Rare Items hidden in that location.
Truth be told, there was a Hidden Dungeon in Briarwood Village that would appear a month from now.
Alex wanted to explore that dungeon so he could defeat the Boss Monster there and access a treasure chest that contained two Middle-Grade Magic Crystals that would help him unlock his Magic Stat.
But, to his luck, he had unexpectedly acquired a High-Grade Crystal. This meant he could unlock his Magic Stat earlier.
