Chapter 248 - Samples

Aldrich manifested back in the dark depths of the Crypt There, he saw Wai'ki's clone of Volantis lying down, tossing a book up and down in the air to keep himself entertained

"Ah, it's you!" said the clone It lowered its voice when Aldrich put a finger over hisbored down here"

"A s? Wai'ki truly is a master," remarked Valera

"Are you bored, mister?" The Chrysalis hopped on over to Volantis "If you want, you can come with us to explore"

"No, he can't" said Aldrich firently "He needs to stay here"

"That, I do," said the construct with a sigh

Aldrich looked around The construct had done a good job sending supplies packs up and down Even eating the supplies The books from the colonel were scattered about haphazardly

"Maybe reading will help," said Aldrich

"I cannot read this script," said the construct in despair

"Oh, right" Aldrich shrugged There was notatop the Crypt, probably watching on high alert for any disturbance

"I can help!" The Chrysalis clapped her hands A white portal eraphic novels and a from Aldrich's Boundary popped out "Those all have pictures No need to read theure out the plot,' thought Aldrich, but aside fro issue "I don't want to leave traces of us behind"

"But he's so bored," said the Chrysalis She looked up at Aldrich ide eyes "We can't help hihed "No Sometimes, you can help others, sometimes, you can't This is one of those times you can't"

"I am fine," said the construct "My existence is temporary as well You need not worry about me I thank you for your concern, however"

"Okay," said the Chrysalis She reached down and tapped the books she spawned,them back to the Boundary She stared at Aldrich with quizzical expression "Hoill I knohen to help? And when not to?"

"Hm It's hard to tell you ords When the tih exa for exploration, don't we?"

"Okay!" the Chrysalis put her hand on Aldrich's and then disappeared, warping into the Phylactery that she had made her home

"Valera" Aldrich held his hand out towards her

"To think I can take a look at your inner world It is quite exciting" Valera grasped Aldrich's hand The Chrysalis used the power she could e to draw Valera in

Aldrich noted that instead of dark tendrils sucking Valera in, she instead faded away into white particles, absorbing into Aldrich's chest Perhaps a result of the Chrysalis gaining greater control over her powers due to her training

Hopefully, when this synchronization period was over and Aldrich could use the Chrysalis's reater e amounts of units in and out of himself

Or, if Aldrich felt he was in particularly high risk, keep his Phylactery souard it

With that, Aldrich cast [Mist Phase], warping out of the Crypt with everyone he needed in tow

Aldrich warped to Fler'gan's laboratory

"A pleasure toat Aldrich's materialization from mist

"Sa spherical glass container filled with light blue liquid The container was easily the size of a basketball, and darker blue s the room in a faint haze that smelled oddly sweet "The potion, I assuh as of yet unrefined I must incorporate the eyeflowers before I can fully refine it And, ah, while you are here, one of your eyes, if you do not ers stiffened into almost spike like structures "Or, if you would like, , allowing me to easily dissect live specimen I can perform the extraction if you so desire"

"No, I'll do it Being undead does have its perks, after all" Aldrich gouged his own eye out with a casual motion As an undead, he still felt sensations, but above a certain threshold, they were atively impact him He tossed the freshly plucked eyeball towards Fler'Gan

Fler'Gan grasped it in his slithering fingers "Many thanks, O Elder This potion requires considerably more resources I hope you will understand"

"I do" Aldrich's eye socket covered up with green enerated "Your work hasn't disappointed so far
