Chapter 87: Advanced Potion
Chapter 87: Advanced Potion
Meanwhile, at the Habsburg Manor.
In a study room on the second floor of the castle, Dennis was reviewing the financial records of the family estate, but after a brief glance, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to have lost interest in continuing.
"Knock knock knock."
At that moment, a rhythmic knocking sound echoed through the room.
This brought a slight smile to Dennis's face, as he expected Ruels to have returned after completing his task.
Thinking about it, the timing seemed about right.
Today was the deadline Michelle had mentioned.
"Enter!"
"Huh? Why is it you?"
However, to Dennis's surprise, it was not Ruels who entered but Tina.
Tina, who was not summoned by him, would never take the initiative to appear before him.
"Master Dennis, Sir Ruels told me that if he didn't return before sunrise this morning, I should inform you that the mission failed."
Tina was obviously afraid of Dennis, and she didn't dare to raise her head as she spoke in a low voice.
"What? Say that again!"
Dennis stood up abruptly, his face contorted with rage.
"Sir Ruels said..."
Tina, who was already terrified of Dennis, struggled to speak under his murderous gaze, stuttering and stumbling over her words.
It took Tina a great deal of effort to repeat what she had said.
The study room fell into a long silence.
Only heavy breathing could be heard, seemingly becoming more rapid!
"Damn it, are you joking with me?"
"How could Ruels, with his vast experience, possibly fail a mission? And the target was just a farmer's son!" Dennis took a long time to process the meaning of Tina's words.
Tina, who was standing across from him, was terrified, but she caught one word—'farmer's son.'
Apparently, the mention of a 'farmer's son' could make this noble young master so furious.
"Ah!"
Tina let out a painful cry as she was grabbed by her braid and pulled over, then forcefully pushed down onto the large desk.
"Rip!"
Tina felt a chill as her clothes were torn open.
Immediately after, a sharp pain spread across her body!
After a series of heavy breaths, Dennis seemed a bit exhausted.
But as he vented his frustration, he seemed to regain his composure.
Looking at Tina's bruised and disheveled state, Dennis spoke in a cold tone, "Tell me again, carefully, everything Ruels said to you before he left, without leaving out a single detail."
"Sir Ruels said..."
Tina's words were almost identical to what she had said before, and Dennis couldn't glean any new information from them.
"How did Ruels failed?"
"Did Kleya leave some treasure for that commoner?"
"Where did the two of them fight?"
"Did Ruels reveal any information about himself to the opponent after failing the mission?"
"With Ruels's failure, did he disclose any information about himself to the opponent?"
"Lastly, this month's 'Divine Blood' quota is probably gone as well."
Dennis pondered for a moment, and his mind was suddenly filled with various pressing issues.
The one responsible for this passive situation was that... what was his name again?
Dennis rubbed his temples, trying to recall the name of the farmer's son he had been shouting about.
Oh, right, I remember now. His name was Rain.
Dennis considered sending someone to investigate, but the remaining subordinates were far less capable than Ruels.
After some thought, he decided against sending anyone to search for Ruels's whereabouts.
Dennis paced back and forth in the room for a while before returning to his desk and sitting down. After some contemplation, he picked up a quill and began writing fervently on a piece of paper, quickly drafting a sincere letter of apology. The first line read, "Dear Father."
The situation here had somewhat slipped out of Dennis's control, especially with the death of Ruels. He didn't think this was something he could keep hidden, and it would be better to report to his father and seek help than to conceal it.
Ruels was his father's trusted aide, and there was a high chance that his father would send someone to investigate. When that happens, Rayen would undoubtedly come under scrutiny.
Administrative Hall of Glintstone Town.
Inside Hamilton's office.
Rayen's thoughts turned to the assassin incident, which had been cleared up.
But what did the Norman family, and that middle-aged man, have to do with him? Just as Rayen was about to ask, Hamilton proactively brought up the topic of advanced potions.
Rayen's attention sharpened, and he listened intently.
"Rayen, regarding advanced potions, you must understand that each breathing technique has its corresponding advanced potion, and they are all different!"
"Fortunately, you practice the widely spread Giant Bear Breath Technique, so the corresponding advanced potion is relatively easier to obtain."
"The method of crafting advanced potions is not difficult. It involves a primary ingredient and several supporting ingredients, with some adjustments. The challenge lies in finding a suitable primary ingredient."
"The key ingredient for advanced potions, often referred to as 'extraordinary objects,' varies depending on the breathing technique. For instance, the advanced potion corresponding to your Giant Bear Breath Technique requires an 'extraordinary object' from ferocious bear-like creatures—the 'Giant Bear Palm.'"
"When combined with the advanced potion, the enhanced attributes developed through the breathing technique, whether singular or multiple, will be significantly heightened."
"Take the Swift Panther Breath Technique, for example, which primarily enhances agility and a small portion of strength. If the advanced potion is made from the 'Shadow Panther Tendon,' an extraordinary object from the shadow panther!"
"Then, the improvement in the agility attribute will be particularly significant. If the primary ingredient is changed to another extraordinary creature, like the Wind Snake, the effect will be slightly inferior."
Rayen nodded, indicating his understanding of Hamilton's explanation.
"Advancing with the aid of an advanced potion not only significantly increases safety but also enhances the extraordinary traits brought about by the breathing technique."
"For instance, you, Rayen, upon entering the extraordinary realm through the Giant Bear Breath Technique and its corresponding advanced potion, will likely awaken the extraordinary trait—'Superhuman Strength,' a special ability that allows you to surpass your physical limits."
'Extraordinary traits,' 'Superhuman Strength'? Rayen keenly latched onto these key words, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
"I wonder if it can be used in conjunction with my 'Power Burst'?"
"It's likely possible, but I'm afraid my body might not be able to handle it!"
"It seems like I'll need to strengthen my constitution further."
Hamilton continued, "For example, those who practice the Swift Panther Breath Technique and enter the extraordinary realm often awaken the extraordinary trait 'Superhuman Agility,' a special ability that allows them to surpass their agility limits."
"But this isn't absolute. There was once a practitioner of the Giant Bear Breath Technique who took an advanced potion with the primary ingredient being the 'Giant Bear Palm' from a mountain man-eating bear. As a result, he not only awakened the 'Superhuman Strength' trait but also the extraordinary trait 'Thick Hide'!"
"A special ability that grants him a resilient hide."
As Hamilton spoke, his face lit up with anticipation.
