“This is what you found valuable? A present that was worthy enough to disturb me?”

The question was posed by one of the two marquis of the Gold Coin Federation. It was the current Darc Marquis, Rayson Darc.

He looked at the little crystal bottle, his eyes glistening with unhappiness. “A bottle of gold meta-allergy medicine… Could this make a godly weapon sharp? Or could it give me an indestructible body? Or, is it tasteless and colorless, so that it couldn’t be discovered via poison testing magic?”

The fat man, who was now bowing before him, was covered in sweat, partially because he had been running the entire way there, and partially because he was just nervous. He knew that this master that he served was short-tempered and would easily get angry if he was disturbed while enjoying his leisure time. However, he also knew that, if he didn’t send the precious medicine to him at this very first moment, he would be in bigger trouble later.

So, the fat man stood there nervously, waiting for Marquis Darc to finish raging. Then, he replied politely with a soft voice, “Marquis, this is a life-prolonging medicine.”

“A life-prolonging medicine?” Marquis Darc looked at the bottle suspiciously. The faint red clear liquid medicine in the bottle looked normal, appearing nothing like it could prolong one’s life!

“Yes! It can prolong one’s life. Accurately speaking, it can allow the user’s body to temporarily stop aging. Its effect will last for about ten years!”

Listening to the fat man’s introduction, Marquis Darc was curious. In actual fact, as one of the rulers of the Gold Coin Federation, he possessed a terrifying amount of power and wealth. So, he naturally could obtain large amounts of treasure. Even so, things that could prolong one’s life wouldn’t be easy to come by, no matter how wealthy one was!

Theoretically, it wouldn’t be difficult to prolong his life. Regardless if it was the fruit from the tree of life in the Ancient Forest, the youth spring at the Dragon Cliff, or a bunch of amazing mages, who could organize a life lengthening ceremony, all of these things could prolong his life effectively.

But, there was a difficulty that always arose, when it came to practicing such ways. The tree of life was gone, having left along with the passing of the Fairy Gods. Also, it was hard to find the Dragon Cliff. And, as for looking for a bunch of mages to lengthen his life, the cost of that would be very high. In fact, the price he would have to pay would be huge, enough to cause most of the Kings heartache, and far exceeding the capability of most any country’s means.

After all, although the King was noble, he now had an heir. In order to let the old man live a few years longer, would they really spend such an enormous amount of money? The country was not a personal possession of the King! Hence, even if he was willing to do so, those people, who shared the rights and wealth of the country, wouldn’t allow such unnecessary expenditures!

Likewise, in this world, it wouldn’t be too difficult for an expert to lengthen his life, but for a commoner to prolong his life, it would be extremely difficult. The King was no exception to this rule.

Then, is this medicine as magical as how my underlings have reported it to be?

“Tiger, to be frank, I don’t believe it,” he said. “If there was such a magical item, it’d be more appropriate if a great mage sent it over to me. But, it’s coming from you…. Tsk tsk.”

He shook his head, obviously disdainful. The fat man smiled bitterly and explained, “This only appeared in the auction earlier today. The people from the Void Mask church brought it for auction. I heard that His Majesty was in a good mood, and that made such a medicine. I also was told that he would occasionally auction two bottles.”

Marquis Darc was suddenly awakened, gaining more confidence in the man before him.

Such a matter as prolonging life was, of course, difficult for a commoner, but to a God that could do everything, it was nothing. Don’t forget that the Void Mask Majesty possesses unusual powers. Even among the Gods, He is one of the extremely amazing ones.

So, if it was truly His product, that wouldn’t be so strange…

But…

“Why did the Void Mask Majesty make this?” He fondled the crystal bottle, asking in distress.

“That Majesty has always adopted a unique trail of thought. He probably just found it interesting…”

Marquis Darc couldn’t help but laugh. He thought about it carefully, deciding that it actually made sense.

After all, what Majesty behaved normally?

And, how many of them were easily understood?

Would any normal person build a theme park in the world of ice and snow? Of course not!

“Yeah, after all… He is a jellyfish!” He smiled, then said, “For a human to guess a jellyfish’s thoughts, it wouldn’t be a good idea.”

Then, he put the crystal bottle onto the platter that his servant had placed next to him. He then stood up.

“Follow me. We shall visit the Void Mask church.”

“This is really the medicine that our church put up for auction, and it is bestowed to us by our God Himself.” A pastor from the Void Mask church used magic to check the bottle carefully, before concluding confidently that, “That’s right, it’s the life-prolonging medicine!”

Marquis Darc smiled, then took up the crystal bottle, removing the cork. He then took in all of the liquid medicine in one gulp.

“Fragrance of green grass, with a slight hint of blood.” He pouted, then said thoughtfully, “Would the raw material in this be a giant dragon’s blood? I have never heard of dragon blood that could be drunk directly.”

“The divine power of our master is not something our generation could ever guess about.” The pastor smiled faintly.
