Chapter 92: Zelie (1/2)
Kadyn sat in his room, peering at the metals in front of him. There were five different metals. After checking them through the System he realised their names: Fobloicium, Deskanium, Greithil, Eskine, Wosnium. They were all Common Rank Metals. Kadyn couldn't stop grinning as he looked at them. ”With these metals, we don't have to struggle to find more powerful metals for a long time.” He said and added them in his Virtual Shop.
Then he yawned and fell on his bed. He wasn't going to meditate today. ”Though my body doesn't feel very tired, my mental strength could only recover through sleeping.” He murmured. He closed his eyes and said, ”What kind of element are you?”
He looked at the Golden Mana Pool in his Soul Sea and a solemn look appeared on his face. At this moment two stars were floating inside the Blessing Pool. One burned with fire while another crackled with purple thunder from time to time. These were Fire and Thunder elements that were absorbed by the Blessing pool. While beside the Blessing Pool seven other pools were floating inside his Soul Sea. However, Fire and Thunder Pool were missing from that number.
Just like that, he fell asleep. Though he did not have any idea what kind of element was Blessing he could still tell that it was extremely powerful. After all, it was using other elements as its stars. He wanted to merge other elemental stars so he could unravel the mystery of Blessing Element as soon as possible, but he didn't want to make any mistake so he controlled himself from hastening the process.
After an unknown period, Kadyn opened his eyes. He examined his surroundings and realised that it was already morning. He left the bed and went to get refreshed. When he walked out of the room the breakfast was already placed on the table while Elora and children were eating and Rayna was standing behind, serving.
”Good morning,” Kadyn said as he walked into the hall.
Elora turned towards him and smiled. ”Good morning.”
Two children also greeted him after Rayna urged them. Kadyn grinned and sat on a chair beside Elora. Then he looked at Rayna and asked. ”Where is Khrom and Hot Rod, ah, yes, and his son Dion?”
”Artisan Hot Rod worked the whole night to adjust his cauldron with his son so he could use it to forge in the future. He didn't come the night before, so I assume he slept there. As for Khrom, he is working to break through to the next Rank. However, he seemed pretty frustrated yesterday. It appears that he is having a hard time progressing.” It was Elora who replied.
Kadyn nodded understanding the situation. Khrom's condition was a little tricky. He needed to concoct the potion to remove the side effects from his body. However, the problem was that the potion was Rank 1 and he could not brew it at the Elementary Rank.
Suddenly his eyes lit up. Why didn't I think about this? He thought and a smile appeared on his face.
”Sir, Miss Zelie has come.” Khrom entered the hall. Kadyn lifted his gaze and spotted Khrom. Behind him a lady walked, her face was a little pale and she looked somewhat nervous and afraid. When she spotted Kadyn looking at her she lowered her gaze hurriedly.
Kadyn opened his mouth and closed it a few times but no word came out of his mouth. Is this really the same girl I have met previously? He still remembered how arrogantly she acted. However, right at this moment, she seemed completely docile and tamed. She clasped her hands and rubbed them nervously, her eyes downcast, not daring to look at Kadyn.
”Oh, It's Miss Zelie Duncan.” Kadyn smiled. ”Come take a seat and have breakfast with us.”
Zelie lifted her gaze in surprise and peered at Kadyn. She thought that he would take revenge for her previous arrogance, but now, it seems that she was too narrow-minded and ignorant. She forced a smile over her face and replied with an apologetic tone. ”I've to decline Sir Kadyn's offer. I've already had my breakfast. I'm here on the behalf of my father. He sent me to deliver something.”
”Ah, I know,” Kadyn said as he chewed the bread inside his mouth and said. ”Please, have a seat. We will talk about it later.”
Zelie glanced at everyone in the hall. Two children were eating and fighting among themselves. Khrom and Rayna stood behind Kadyn and Elora. She took a deep breath and sat down on the chair that was opposite Kadyn and Elora. Zelie glanced at Elora and said in an embarrassed voice. ”I'm sorry for my rude behaviour on that day.”
”Don't mention it,” Elora shook her head, ”That was in the past. Young people are full of themselves nowadays. They think that everyone should do their bidding. However, with time they realise that one needs to give respect if they want respect.”
Kadyn almost choked at her words and started to cough furiously. A chunk of bread had stuck in his throat. Rayna hurriedly poured the water for him. Only after drinking did he stabilize.
Elora glared at him but he completely ignored her. He looked at Zelie and said. ”I heard from Leader Barret that you are also an Elementary Potioneer.”
Elora shifted her gaze towards Zelie, filled with curiosity. She didn't think that this arrogant Young Miss of the Magic Association branch in the Avibria City was also an Elementary Potioneer. At the same time, a competitive light flickered inside her pupils.
Zelie strengthened her back when she heard his words and a proud look appeared on her face. However, she hurriedly controlled her urge to show off and replied humbly. ”I'm just a beginner. Potioneer Yel saw some talent in me that's it.”
