Reclaiming the Demon’s Curse - Chapter 145
Britta was quite excited as well when she recounted what happened in her conversation with the member of the Nine Crows Guild.
Though she would never plan on exploring such a dangerous world, she still felt excited after hearing the existence of Dragons!
Though she thought that they might really appear someday, she was still flabbergasted upon learning the truth… She realized how awesome it was after confirming their existence thanks to that man.
“Good! Good…” Cyril repeated his words as he asked for the name of that person.
“His name is Xavier Nilles. A B-Rank Awakened of that guild. He never had a chance to enter that Dragon World since he was previously on another exploration when the first batch of explorers entered… He was quite lucky since after the deaths of many B-Rank Awakened, only A-Rank and S-Rank Awakened are allowed to enter. However, even after that, they still suffered casualties before they ultimately decided to seal the Entrance Crystal.”
Britta explained.
“Well, it’s a normal measure if it’s that dangerous. Did you ask if they are planning to sell that world?”
“I asked. However, he said that the guild never mentioned anything about selling them.”
“Hmm… Maybe because no one is planning to buy?”
Cyril muttered to himself.
Right now, his option is to either steal that Entrance Crystal or try to enter that through legal means… which is probably very troublesome.
“Perhaps… Anyway, I’ll send you detailed information later,”
“Alright. As for the Lesser Healing Potions you used, I’ll just ask my Aunt to give you an extra.”
“Oh! Thank you! Maybe I should run an information guild instead? Hehe…”
“That’s not a bad idea. However, you have to either specialize in some type of information. After all, it would be difficult to defeat the Awakened Association with its massive number of informants.”
Cyril seriously commented. Though the Association is the best source of intelligence right now, it is indeed good if some specialists took this kind of job as well.
“Haha… Since I can communicate with Goblins, I guess I can use that to earn a lot more money.” Britta replied. Her Zero Trust Trading was previously known for her Goblin Gears… However, because of the potions from Cyril and Bonnie, her main source of income became these potions.
“Well, Goblin Gears would be popular soon. Don’t worry, the Old Crafter will do something about it.”
Cyril commented. If the Old Crafter obtained the Fairy Crusher, he would surely start repairing or fixing the Goblin Weapons.
Once that happened, tons of lower-rank Awakened would seek these Goblin Weapons to obtain decent weapons. Since he let the Old Crafter know this secret, it would surely happen quite faster than it originally was.
They chatted for a few more minutes before ending their conversation.
As soon as he returned home, Bonnie joyfully greeted him as she sighed in relief.
The Arcane Exploration he just completed had actually lasted for three days. They were unable to leave that world unless they obtained the pendant on the Orc Chieftain’s necklace.
“Why didn’t you inform me that you’re returning now… I should’ve cooked you some food. I’m sure you guys are only eating some jerky there.”
“Oh… Don’t worry, we have three Transporters assisting us this time. They were a decent cook as well.”
“That’s good. You should treat them well.”
“Of course, aunt… So, how was it? Any progress?” Cyril asked. He’s referring to his Aunt’s attempt to create a stronger version of the Lesser Healing Potion.
“Ugh… It’s difficult. I probably need two more months on this.”
“I see. It’s okay. No hurry… Creating the potions that are being commissioned is still fine. As long as we have a stable income, it should be alright to take it easy… Don’t get pressured.”
“I know…”
Bonnie replied with a smile.
They were attempting to improve the lesser healing potion since the current one that they have wouldn’t work at all against the injuries caused by the Vampire’s blood magic.
Though Cyril can have Xagan help them, it would cost 90 days of his life so he decided not to. Aside from that, they are not in a hurry as well and this will similarly help Bonnie improve with her potion-making skills.
Perhaps, in couple more years, she would be an expert of Grade 1 and 2 Potions!
Cyril then returned to his room and was greeted by Magenta.
“Master… The Entrance Crystal of the Demon Arcane World is shaking a while ago. It seems that Selma and her Clan are trying to do something.” The black cat reported after seeing Cyril change into his casual clothes.
“Oh? Should I take a look?”
“You can bring me there if you don’t feel safe, Master.” The demoness suggested.
During the past few weeks, Selma discussed several things with Cyril.
First, they have difficulty finding enough Artifacts to seal the ranked Demons.
Those with the title of Corruptor can be sealed inside a peak Rank-C Artifact but an Immolator has to be sealed inside Rank-B Artifact. As for Destroyer rank like her, she has to find any Rank-A Artifacts.
Unfortunately, for their Ancestors with the title of a Harbinger, he requires an even stronger Artifact. Perhaps a Peak Rank-A will do or even better, a Rank-S Artifact.
The problem is that the Artifacts within the Demon Arcane World are limited. They’ve almost exterminated all the other species living there but they still couldn’t find enough Artifacts.
“Well, I told them that I’ll help them to find some Artifacts. However, they should know that it wouldn’t be easy for me… Ugh.”
“You can just have some of the already sealed demons to serve you. Just unseal them and make them work for you to find more Artifacts, master.”
Cyril only sighed at this suggestion. It is indeed not a bad idea but he actually learned that he can use Xagan’s authority en masse!
This authority will allow him to take the wisp of the demon’s soul so they would not betray him.
It means that he only had to spend a few days of his life to have several demons serve him. However, if he do it one by one, it would accumulate and of course, it wouldn’t be good for him!
