37 Shield and Sword (2/2)
=============================================
Even though it has grown only by 5% it was very good, considering that material was B-Ranked quinque. After he finished looking at the record, he tossed there one A-Ranked and one B-Ranked quinque. This timing process was longer but only by two minutes.
Seeing that nothing had happened and everything went smoothly he tossed there remaining A-Ranked and B-Ranked quinques and let the Blood-Essence Sacred Refining Furnace absorb them.
After everything was finished he looked at the record again with great anticipation.
=============================================
Name: Blood-Essence Sacred Refining Furnace
Grade: Noble
Tier: 3nd
Uniquess: Growth - 35% (require special metals to increase tier and grade)
-
Description:
Mysterious growth type refining artifact with ability of refinement of bodies, flesh, blood and more to blood essences. As long as grade is high enough its able to refine almost everything.
=============================================
The growth rate was at 35%. This was rather good news. This meant that B-Ranked quinque increase rate was 5% and A-Ranked quinque increase rate was 10%. Now every time he killed some ghoul investigators he would make sure to take their quinque cause they were the only way for him to evolve his Blood-Essence Sacred Refining Furnace.
After that, he walked through Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory and admired the beauty of this place. It was nice to silence cause he was the only person here. After half an hour of walking, he exited the place and returned to his estate.
A month has already passed and Eto should be already at the 24th Ward. Now Lucien needed to go to the 20th Ward and then through Route V14 arrive at the 24th Ward. Route V14 is an underground passage leading to the 24th Ward, which is located below the 20th Ward.
Actually, 24th Ward encompassed the deepest parts of the large labyrinth that the ghouls dug in the underground of the Tokyo in the past. The 24th Ward could be described only as a huge underground place. It could house thousands of people with easy. But now only ruins remained there.
When Lucien returned to his estate he quickly found Darkwalker who was now lecturing new mercenaries. As he was obsessed with tight security almost entire mercenary band was here. All of them loyal to the Aeon House, cause it could be said that Aeon House helped this concrete mercenary band a lot during their early stages.
When all the people there saw Lucien they immediately saluted him.
”Welcome Lord Aeon!”
Hearing mass-salute from more than ten people sounded very dominating and was giving a feeling of power. After saluting to him all of them returned to training and practice.
”Darkwalker I am leaving for the 24th Ward. Be aware of CCG or V. But I don't think that somebody would actually come here but still. Especially be aware of those little messy doves, yesterday I have killed some of them so they would be in high alert. If they found out that this mansion is full of A-Rated and some S-Rated ghouls, it could be some troubles.”
After that Lucien went to the 20th Ward to have his long-awaited meeting with Eto. If they could forge some kind of cooperation he could use Aogiri Tree as bait for the Washuu Clan and Aogiri could become his shield and sword to kill his targets.
