The Human Giant

Chapter 370 Chapter 369: A Solution To Demon Meat

"This is my chance to break through!"

In an unknown room in Jelly Town's town hall, a young maid was fixing her uniform, ensuring there weren't any creases. After brushing her long blonde hair until it was smooth and perfect, she put on some makeup and checked her teeth to ensure there weren't any food scraps between them.

This young maid was Gilan White. As a person who had come from a commoner family, she had never been able to experience the joy of being able to grab onto a chance to rise to the upper class.

"Sir Scholar Yoze and Sir Scholar Evi are so nice to allow me and Suzanne to participate in helping Master revitalize the town. Not only was I able to make a good first impression, but I even got an increase in my salary of one silver."

"With this, I will now be able to make 11 silver a year. I am on the up and up." Gilan smiled as she felt as if everything was coming along very well for herself.

"I even was asked to go to Sir Scholar Evi's and Sir Scholar Yoze's rooms at night. They must fancy me. If I can seize this chance and become their wife, my life will be perfect!" Gilan's hazy blue eyes glinted as her face became red.

The scenes from numerous books describing similar situations flashed through her head, causing her to become nervous. After calming herself down and ensuring she looked perfect, she picked up a food platter next to her and walked to Yoze's room.

"Hmmm, hm, hmmm, hm"

Along the way, she couldn't help but start humming a cheerful melody her mother had taught when she was a child and skipped through the halls with glee. Soon, she reached the assigned room and stood at the door briefly before knocking on it to let them know she was there.

"It's great to see you,"

Before Glian knocked on the door, the door quickly opened to reveal a half-naked Yoze sweating from recently finishing his training with Evi. Gilan felt her jaw drop to the floor as she saw the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

"I am going to die." Gilan's face rapidly became redder than a tomato as she lost the ability to speak.

"Do you know where that other maid is?" Yoze asked calmly, secretly happy that everyone appreciated his good looks.

"S-she is getting the items from your list, but she should return in a few minutes. I-i-I have the snacks. I hope they are enjoyable for you." Gilan said softly.

"Fantastic, come inside. Evi is also here, so you two can chat while getting to know one other." Yoze said as he gestured for her to enter but paused before adding.

"I know this might seem strange, but once that other maid shows up with my items, are you willing to join my experiment? This test is not harmful but might be a little painful."

"Of course, I will not take advantage of you and will pay you 20 silver if you participate. You can also leave whenever you want if you no longer feel comfortable."

"Sir Scholar Yoze, I would love to join in the experiment. Do I need to take off my clothes?" Gilan asked with sparkling eyes, giving Yoze an unsettling feeling as if he was being taken advantage of.

"No, but once the experiment begins, you might accidentally tear your clothes if the pain gets too much for you to handle. I recommend you change into more comfy clothes so that you don't mind being ruined." Yoze answered, but he strangely felt that Gilan didn't hear a word he said.

"Okay," Gilan clenched her small hands and walked inside Yoze's room with determination in her heart.

Once she stepped inside, she was pleasantly surprised that Evi was also half-naked and lying on the bed. Unlike the elegant and gentle self he portrayed when they felt met, he didn't answer or even look at her direction. Once she got closer, she noticed his muscles trembling as he stared at the ceiling.

"Sir Scholar Yoze, is there something wrong with Sir Scholar Evi?" Gilan asked with worry.

Evi was the only one who she was confident in being able to wed without accidentally getting killed during the process. If she came to find out that he was too sick, then she would have to try to wed Yoze.

"How tall are my kids going to be in the future? They have to be at least seven feet tall if I marry Yoze."

"No, I heard that kids are always taller than their parents, so does that mean my and Yoze's kids will be eleven feet tall." Gilan randomly thought to herself.

"You can just call me Yoze. Being called Sir Scholar Yoze is a mouthful, and since you are kind enough to join my experiment, you can just call Yoze." Yoze smiled before answering Gilan's question.

"As for Evi, he is just tired from our training. If you are interested, you can join us next time. Yoze said casually as he grabbed a sandwich from the platter.

Before Gilan could answer, she saw Yoze suddenly open the door. As surprised as she was, she saw Suzanne, who was a new maid, standing outside with several male servants carrying large bags.

"My stuff is finally here." Yoze excitedly said as he easily grabbed the bags that several people struggled to lift and placed them in his room.

After putting everything inside, he noticed that Suzanne had entered his room and was talking with Gilan. Still, it was clear to see that one was more excited than the other. Like what he had offered Gilan, he asked Suzanne if she wanted to join in his little experiment.

"If Sir Scholar Yoze thinks this humble maid is qualified to help you with this experiment, that is enough for me." Suzanne softly answered, which caused Yoze to grin widely.

"Okay, you guys can go." Seeing that he had gotten both his targets, Yoze turned to the remaining servants who were awkwardly standing outside the door and told them to leave.

There was no need to entertain servants who were currently secretly working with his client's enemies. After closing the door, Yoze unpacked all the items that were brought.

It was full of strange herbs, medicine pastes, and other strange items that most people would never buy. Well, it wasn't like they could afford to buy them anyway.

"Yoze, is this all for that experiment you were talking about?" Evi asked after regaining some energy.

"Yup,"

"Can I withdraw my participation?" Evi asked with a hint of hope.

Yoze temporarily stopped organizing his herbs, medicine pastes, and items to examine Evi's body thoroughly before saying,

"Nope, Suzanne and Gilan can leave at any time, but you need to stay. I also won't be paying you."

"Great, but at least all of us will suffer together, right Yoze? As best friends and deeply tied partners, we must suffer together." After regaining some strength, Evi immediately began to rapidly eat the snacks that Gilan had brought to him.

While it wasn't as nutritious as the demon meat Yoze had fed him, it was better than nothing.

"And as my best friend, I know you know that my pain tolerance is low, so you are willing to take my share of the medication. Thank you so much. I appreciate it." Yoze said casually as he finished his organization.

With everything neatly laid out in front of him, Yoze took out his journal and reviewed the process of creating blood pills. As one of the dozen witchcraft techniques that he had gained from helping Lucien back at Justice Town, Yoze was always interested in creating the Blood Pill.

From the description in Lucien's notes, Blood Pills could give any person a 50 percent boost in stamina, strength, and vitality for one hour. Not only is the pill quite safe for large consumption, but long-term use will result in the user's body becoming healthier and stronger.

So was an incredible pill that anyone should have in their toolbox, but creating Blood Pills was expensive since some of the ingredients were rare or uncommon. Even with Mr. Light's help, they were only able to get enough ingredients to create eight blood pills.

However, what Yoze was more interested in was that creating Blood Pills required the inclusion of blood. What he was hoping for was to use his own blood in hopes this would solve all his problems.

What was his current problem that has been giving him a headache for years?

Insufficient demon meat.

Whether it was for extending his father's lifespan, increasing the power of his companions, or for his own training, he never had enough.

No matter how much demon meat he had, it would run out sooner or later. Which meant he would have to go hunt more demons.

As he got stronger and explored the world, his need for demon meat exponentially increased. Even after killing the Slug demon and getting all of its demon meat, it wasn't enough since he needed to sell a majority of it to get enough money to fuel the School of Eternal Knowledge.

Yet, as the School of Knowledge gets stronger, the need for demon meat for his students will increase. Yet, from his experience, finding demons was hard, and catching them was even harder.

Unless he found another demon the size of the Slug demon, he would run out of demon meat immediately.

Knowing that hunting demons wasn't sustainable in the long term, he had been looking for other alternatives, and he soon found it.

That solution was inside his own blood.
