Chapter 144: Change Of Mission (1/2)

Lucius looked at the fang on Ariana's hand and thought for a moment before speaking.

”Can you increase the size of them?” Lucius asked.

Ariana her Lucius's words and nodded.

”Yes, I can… but only up to a certain extent,” Ariana said before enlarging the fang.

The fang, which was only an inch long before, reached a length of six inches. Lucius was rather impressed by this and wondered how this gift worked. There were many questions in his mind and he knew he would like to use nexus on her gift later on.

For now, he nodded his head at Ariana and allowed her to rest.

”And what of Finch, what is her gift exactly?” Lucius questioned.

”I know of it so I can tell.” Gellor replied.

”Sure, please do,” Lucius said, allowing the man to speak.

”The Gift Finch has is a Rare ranked gift called Flame Touch. It does what its name means. She can ignite flames on her hand that are rather hot. It isn't hard for her to melt iron either after prolonged contact. The only restriction that she has is that the gift takes up a lot of Aether and has no range.” Gellor explained.

”Ah, so that's why you said she would be the best for this job.” Lucius stated upon hearing the explanation.

”Indeed, Young Lord Asher. Since we need to evaporate the mist completely, just the heat from her hands should be enough to do that.” Gellor replied.

”Hmm… I understand. If we do decide to do this, then how long do you think Finch will take to recover? What did healer Delia say?” Lucius questioned.

”While the Emberian Herb should take care of her injuries themselves, she will still need at least a month's rest so that her body can get to the optimum condition. She said that the herb only increases the body's own capability of healing and thus would need more time after that to recover from the fatigue.” Gellor answered.

”That does… seem reasonable,” Lucius said after thinking for a bit.

A month in his mind was enough to get some more things set up so that the Brewery was up and running. Once that was done, it would not take them long to make the first batch and sell it. When that happened, the cost of procuring the Mist Veil beast's rune crystal might be even easier to handle.

'Hmm, it will take a month for Finch to recover and then another month for Gellor and his team to reach the Koran Hills. Overall, I would get the rune beast crystals at least three to four months later.' Lucius calculated.

He wondered if there was some other thing he could get Gellor and his team to do in the meantime and his attention went to another candidate that he had in his mind.

”Say Gellor, in the time that it takes Finch to heal you can do another job.” Lucius stated.
