'There is no need for me to Visit the capital anymore. Luckily, there were a few bottles of premium wine in this space ring.' Zick thought with a delightful mood.
Levienel was creating a teleportation circle right at the moment. It would take 30 seconds at most to finish it.
Zick calmed down quickly and considered at lightning speed what he should do.
'I have the alchemy instrument needed to create the cure of the revelner disease.'
In truth, Zick got a very expensive set of alchemy kits. Even he was surprised initially. The owner of the main shops in the trading port was really rich.
'Even without any experience in alchemy, I can concoct the cure with no problem using this alchemy kit.'
Revelner disease.
Strictly speaking, this was not a disease, but a virus. Unfortunately, the concept of a virus was not known by the masses of this world.
Therefore, it was simply called a disease.
The concept of plague could be said to be more known throughout the continents.
'Well, that aside, I have to collect the biological golem next.' Zick's eyes narrowed thinking of this matter.
He was planning on heading towards it tomorrow but in the end, he decided against it.
Zick would head toward the lab tonight!
There was no reason for him to waste his time for no reason.
Zick had a bad feeling deep within him from the moment he got to know of the revelation of the church.
Now he would be regarded as a heretic and hunted no matter what he tried saying!
This was the kind of fanaticism the people of the church held for their gods. No matter how absurd the revelation is, this devoted follower would fulfill it.
'This is the reason why religious beliefs are a scary thing. Once it's taken root within a person, discarding or removing it is very hard.' Zick felt gloomy thinking of this.
'For now, I can initiate my plan of becoming 'Justice' in the Hevertec kingdom. And for what to do after that...I will need to consider it carefully.'
Just as he was going to think more deeply into it, Zick heard Levienel speak: "It's done."
It was a short and crisp voice.
Zick looked at the magic circle in the ground and collected his thoughts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey were currently near the slave port, within one of the luxurious rooms. This was the place where beutiful prostitutes were kept.
Shortly both Zick and Levienel vanished into the magic circle.
....
In the hall of Darton's palace, the teleportation circle shone and Zick along with Levienel appeared above it.
The sight of a few wolfmen cubs looking at him entered Zick's sight.
Zick's eyes flickered with unknown intention.
He smiled and spoke softly: "Tell everyone to gather in the hall for me."
The cat who appeared before him sent a mental message to everyone with no hesitation.
Zick took out a bottle of wine which looked expensive at first sight. The glass bottle in which the alcohol was stored gave out subtle mana, which indicated it was strengthened by protection magic.
Soon others started gathering in the hall, they stood in a semi-circle around Zick. They looked at him with curious looks.
Seveleen, Varine, and Kerene exchanged greetings with Zick first.
Kerene had grown used to hearing Seveleen's voice in her head by now.
Zick also plastered a smile on his face and exchanged a greeting. The necklace on his neck shone dimly which went unnoticed by everyone, even Zick himself didn't realize it.
Leiren. That was the next identity he was going to use while saving people from the Revelner disease. But after a certain thing that Zick experienced a while ago, he wanted to make sure of something.
'The way they could directly deduce my identity isn't normal at all. If my speculation is correct, these people before me might be the cause of it.'
Deep within Zick's eyes, a cold spark appeared. From what Zick was able to infer till now, gods can look or more specifically share their senses with the people they have blessed.
If that is the case, it was entirely normal for the churches to find out about his identity. Varine knew of his connection with the organization after all.
The black spirit that Zick met at the beginning must also belong to one of the priests.
And these being referred to as gods can also influence the mind of the people they have blessed to a certain degree.
'Ohh, Also the people around them. Though it only went to the level of influence, not control. Varine is the best example, the chances of her betraying me are abysmal.'
'Unless the gods can directly control her to do so. Because of this possibility, I will have to stay on my guard all the time.'
These thoughts went through Zick's head very swiftly. Only a second passed in reality.
Zick smiled lightly and declared: "From today onwards my name is Leiren and I will be working as a mercenary. Be sure to address me as such."
The people before Zick accepted with not much thought.
"You can continue what you were doing, I will be in my room. You can come to me if you need something." Saying this Zick turned to Gereel: "Have you kept the silver egg in my room as I said?"
"Yes, I placed it on the bed as you instructed,"
Zick praised: "Good"
A smile appeared on Gereel's face hearing Zick's praise. To her, he was a savior who helped her and others. Hearing praise from such a person would of course make her feel good.
Looking at the cat who just finished the bottle of wine and sighed with satisfaction, Zick smiled not hiding his intention. He picked up the black cat and slowly passed it to Varine.
"Please continue teaching her for a while longer," Zick said with a simple smile.
"What will you give me this time?" The cat asked seemingly not against it.
'Oh, so it can learn something from experience after all.' Zick commented before speaking calmly.
"A bottle of premium wine." Zick had dozens of them, so there was no problem in this regard.
"Alright! I will teach her!" The cat said immediately, filled with energy.
'...I guess, in the end, it's stupid. We didn't even discuss the time frame, well whatever.' Zick bid well to everyone.
He moved to his room with no hesitation. It was located on the top floor, which was also the main room of this palace.
Climbing up the grand stairway, Zick found a few specks of dusk in the above floors.
'It shouldn't be a problem with Seveleen's magic...It seems she is reaching her limit.' A sharp light flashed by Zick's eyes.
The revelner disease causes people to lose their stamina at an extremely high speed. This had a lethal effect on the mages, as their 'will' was exhaustible.
Climbing up the two-way stairways, Zick soon arrived at the top floor. He had to climb five floors to reach there.
A single door appeared in Zick's sight. This door was made of redwood and had a simple gold coating on its edges.
CLICK~ CLUCK~
Closing the door behind him, Zick looked at the room which was dark at the moment. The lamp started glowing after Zick sent a wave of mana into it.
The furniture and couches around the room had dust all over them. The place had many spider webs, almost looking like a horror room.
'Well, it would have been annoying before, but now...' Zick took out multiple low-rank magic scrolls.
Zick tossed one of them to the ground, sending in a little mana into it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA bright light erupted from it before it covered the matt at Zick's feet. In a second, the matt was cleaned, almost looking like new!
With no hesitation, Zick started tossing the magic scroll all around the huge room. The couches, table, chandelier light, bed, and curtains. They were all cleaned one after another.
Next, Zick started placing things in the right order with swift moves. His body was like a blur as he moved around the room, soon the room appeared well Maintained at once.
Within one minute, the room was as good as new.
Zick had also made a place to put his alchemy kit at. The huge table was emptied and placed in the corner.
With a wave of Zick's hand, three glass beakers appeared on the table. The largest one was half a meter in size and the other two were half the size of it.
This beaker was very high quality, the dangerous experiment could be done using it with no problem. It was enchanted to help in the material blending process too.
Three bottles with different solutions appeared on the table from the space ring.
'First, the Meltius souren should be put in that one....' Zick had already memories of the whole cure in his head.
Picking up the bottle with the green solution, Zick put it into the largest beaker. The other two bottles containing pink solution went into the two small beakers.
One-third of the beaker was filled by now, and Zick took out three black roots. He immediately put it into the three beakers, one for each.
A change started occurring in the solutions which were in the beakers, the green solution started turning black. While the pink solution started turning red.
This process would take a while, so Zick moved on to the next thing.
Next, four test tubes appeared in Zick's hand and a test tube holder also appeared above the table. This holder was very special.
Below the place where the test tube would be placed, there are three gems of different colors.
Red, for heating the component.
Blue, for cooling.
Green, for energizing.
The whole frame of the holder was made of extremely strong metal and was also strengthened using enchantment.
Placing the test tubes in their places correctly, Zick took out vials filled with different types of monster blood.
Filling up half the test tubes with different types of blood, Zick sent his mana into it.
The red gem shone and a small flame appeared below the test tube.
Adjusting the flame, Zick took out different kinds of material from the space ring. They ranged from creepy leaves to different small parts of monsters.
Zick had a very serious expression as he performed all the steps.
'It should be ready in three hours.' Zick calculated and continued moving his hand.
