Chapter 358 - Alice's Determination
[Blood Extraction Complete!]
[Success extracting 50% dragon purity from Flying Lizard Blood!]
[Success preserving the remaining blood!]
When those notifications popped out in front of him, the red outline on the green blood in the cauldron began freezing at a fast rate, turning the liquid into hard-ice blood with the size of the ring finger.
Simultaneously, the hard-ice green blood also emitted a strange fragrance that spread and dominated the smell in this room which eventually entered Felix and Desmond's noses.
"Beautiful," Desmond expressed his amazement after seeing the appearance of the Flying Lizard blood. The hard-ice green blood looked like an unshaped mini crystal emitting a red radiance and giving off a strange fragrance.
The smell mixed between flora from the flowers and many smells such as fresh and funky. The smell confused the person's mind, yet it was still pleasant to smell.
At the same time, the red radiance began taking the shape of a faint Flying Lizard shadow. The faint red shadow had wings like the real body that kept flying around the frozen blood as if Desmond was looking at the Augmented Reality object in this world.
Each time the wings flapped, it spread a green glitter that landed on his palm. Either the glitter or the faint shadow did not caused a harm to his skin or it could be said the system did not detect this thing as dangerous.
The more Desmond looks at it the more he becomes amazed by his creation, to be precise the system creation. Yet, the next moment, his expression changed as he looked at the faint red shadow with complicated feeling and then glanced at the frozen blood.
System, try to run a virtual experiment. Test how much compatibility this blood merged with a human body, Desmond commanded inwardly.
[Starting the task...]
[Using the previous knowledge and Host's energy as the main variable]
[Trying to fetch and mix the blood with Host's blood]
[Using Host's body as the 'human' variabel]
After Desmond commanded, as always his body automatically moved on its own. His hand that had the frozen blood on it slowly placed the blood back into the cauldron while the other hands took the rest of preserved blood into another cauldron.
At the same time, the energy that came out from his body began touching the Flying Lizard blood and he suddenly felt the energy also begin drawing his blood.
Suddenly, there was a video player in his view, a faint screen showing a blood mixing process.
Desmond's expression turned solemn. His eyes focused on the process and his attention divided into two consciousness. One focused on the process while the other was on the cauldron.
The virtual screen began mixing his blood and the frozen green blood, the moment it became one, a clash has occurred between the blood.
As if the blood had many tentacles, they were fighting each other, punching like humans fight and stabbing like they had a sword. However, the green blood soon mimicked or constructed a huge Flying Lizard figure that instantly opened its large mouth, trying to suck all of his blood.
....
Meanwhile, outside Desmond's mansion. A few houses near his mansion were made of pure wooden materials, and sticking to the tree were found.
Two of them were wooden longhouses that looked like storage rooms rather than a place for living with no ventilation that could be seen and occupied the most land near the lake.
Not far from those storage rooms, a small simple house was built. From the looks, the house could only accommodate one person with one window and a chimney built on the roof.
Yet, the position of this small house was placed between the hidden entrance and Desmond's mansion. A strategic and important position to watch over the people coming in from the entrance, clearly this was Felix's house responsible for the safety of this place.
Besides Felix's house, a mansion was seen that a bit smaller when compared to Desmond with racks a row of weapons spotted in the courtyard, it was obvious this place was where the subordinates of Felix's lived.
In the opposite direction, there was also a mansion. The materials used to build were superior to the rest of the houses, made of cement and dark fine wood. This mansion has also had a size equal to Desmond's mansion and where the girls lived.
Inside the girls' mansion, the structure of this mansion was the same as their mansion back then in the capital city of North Kingdom, having two floors and maids room.
On the first floor, the maids were seen seem to be gathering; Annie has her back leaning against the wall and Shelty who was being stared at by both Annie and Laura.
"Are you okay, Shelty?" Laura asked with her eyes filled with concern. Her gaze lingered on her body where she could see the tattered of her clothes, exposing her smooth white skin.
"U-mm, I'm fine, thank you, Laura. It's just I'm a bit exhausted," Shelty replied with red cheeks on her face. She kept hiding her body with both arms crossed on her chest and feeling uncomfortable being stared at.
"How did you manage to escape And how-" When Laura wanted to ask more questions, her mouth was covered by Annie's hand, who looked at Shelty with her nonchalantly expression.
"Go, get some rest and you- Did you not hear what she said?" Annie spoke casually after taking a glance at Shelty's condition. She gazed at her for a moment with a frown and then shifted her gaze back to Laura before reprimanding her.
In front of the status, Shelty was inferior to both of them. According to her memories ,she was just a new maid who recently recurited by her master on the auction. She has no right to argue with both of them nor refute their commands.
Shelty then just nodded in response and headed to the room where Annie's pointed. She stopped for a moment and strangely the surrounding natural energy began to gather on her body, turning into green light that surprisingly repaired her clothes back to the original.
She was surprised to find this at that moment; she wanted to ask her senior opinion and advice, yet she remembered Annie's commands and hurriedly back to the room.
Annie and Laura had already stopped their conversation and were shocked as they looked at Shetly who had strange-looking green energy surrounding her body. The next moment, Shelty casually kept walking and entered the room without giving them any explanation.
This caused Annie and Laura to turn solemn and squinted their eyes at Shelty's room. They then looked at each other and then dispart to do their jobs.
Her power...
We should report this to the young master.
Both of them were communicated using magic messages as they realized the presence of their young lady on the second floor.
At the same time, on the second floor. Alice witnessed their conversation and showed a faint happy smile after seeing the situation. However, as Shelty was standing below the stairs, she did not notice anything abnormal.
Her silver hair dripped down and merged with the silver light that passed through from between the wood ceiling. She stared at the ceiling, and the next moment, her happy smile turned into sadness with her green eyes staring at the scenery outside, "Mother, Father, I miss you all."
Tears were coming out from the corner of her eyes, she placed both of her hands on the chest and tried to feel the warmth from the surrounding, she tried to imagine the feeling of being hugged by both of her parents.
The three years of experience in the academy had taught her how cold and cruel this world was. She had been lonely for three years, if not for Felix's daughter, she might have cried every night, missing her family so much.
After a few moments, Alice opened her green eyes and her gaze changed from the gaze filled with weak and hopeless become determined with a bit red.
"I can't depend forever on my brother, I have to become stronger too," She clenched her hands and white natural energy gathered and formed a faint mist of cloud.
The cloud gave off a chilling sensation to her body, making her start to shudder. However it could be seen, her mouth kept muttering the spell as she was enduring the pain to master the spell.
Alice was already considered a Genius back then in the academy. With her mother's teaching, she had mastered the ice elemental and already created her three own custom spells based on the passive mage skills, control elements.
Yet it was still a joke compared to her brother, who could even kill the entire beast without entering the academy. As his elder sister, she also had pride.
