31 The Dragon Lords Visi (2/2)

”I see,” He replied. ”Near, you can go and remember to keep the knowledge you have a secret for now. I must speak with Harr alone.”

”I understand sir.” The lady left the room.

”What do you want to discuss?” Harr asked, removing his helmet.

Heath removed his helmet as well and relaxed. ”Harr, I want you and my younger brother Lednar to stay behind and keep studying the mist. Please make sure to do it discretely. There must be something simple we are missing.”

The man gave a nod.

”Take three fifths of the liquid we have and split it between the two of you. I will store the rest for the future. My little brother's insight should be very helpful to you considering he is an alchemage. I am trusting you to protect my little brother.”

Harr continued to frown. ”Isn't that too passive? That amount would last us 150 hours each.”

Heath shook his head. ”You know my first priority is keeping you and him safe in this situation. If you don't calculate the things I have, it looks like I am choosing to err on the side of excessive caution, but I am not.

”Please, enlighten me.” Harr smiled as he knew he was in for another calculated conversation with his best friend.

”Think about it, how far did the mist spread when that party of six went in?”

”About 10 meters in all directions; but the mist grows further if the people have higher HP.”

Heath nodded. ”Right, roughly one and two thirds meters per person for an average group, how far away are the farmlands of Pren from the mist?”

”Less than one fourth of a kilometer.”

”Indeed, let us pull a stupid mistake and assume…” He paused and looked around to make sure nobody else was really around. ”Let's assume that the EastSeaDrakes only have enough liquid for 150 of their members to go in which, in my opinion is significantly too low of a number given their cockiness. When they fail, the mist will engulf the farmlands and all the people in it. These innocent people would be unable to resist the mist. Because the farmers and low level players fell to it, the mist will then engulf Pren.”

Harr nodded slowly as he took in the information.

”Even though Pren is a starting town, it is popular and has roughly 2000 players and over 3000 residents not counting the ones outside of Pren. Within an hour of the other guild's stupid failure, the mist will have spread through the entirety of the forest and hunting grounds.

”That quickly?” Harr asked.

Heath gave a nod. ”Assuming you meet the standard amount of hostile enemies, it takes about 7 hours to leave the forest to the north. Taking into consideration the heavy stamina builds prevalent in the area because archery is common, the forest will become much more dangerous and difficult to travel through. That alone could easily extend the time to get out to a full day.”

”Heath, that is only 24 hours, you still have 126 extra hours for each of us. Are your calculating abilities failing you?” Harr teased with a like poke.

Heath smiled and stabbed his spear into the floor before pulling out a map of the area. ”Right, but we still have not determined the space difference between what is in the mist and what is out of the mist. If the land doubles in size you will be in the mist for just under 50 hours. But what if it is bigger? What if the mist extends beyond the forest? And, on the off chance, what if you are lucky and find people that are able to save themselves from the mist and give us more insight into this problem? What if you find a person or two of value to save?”

Harr thought for a bit. ”I understand. I will announce it to the guild. You have got the normal populous covered like normal?”

Heath nodded once more. ”I will; thank you Harr for your hard work.”

Harr gave a nod. ”Don't worry about your brother.”

”I know. He is in good claws.”

Harr laughed. ”You always liked that weird statement, Dragon Lord. Is there anything else?”

”One thing I guess. My brother said he had friends adventuring in the area. If they are still around when the mist strikes and by some miracle you meet them, help them escape.”

The green armored man nodded. ”Sure, it is unlikely, but if that does happen, I will remember that.”

”Thank you for being willing to help me out like this. I know I can be unreasonable sometimes.”

Harr laughed. ”Yeah, but I know your emotions run far deeper than your logic. You know I will be there to call you out when needed.”

Heath smiled. ”Always, and don't let my brother try bossing you around. You are the one in charge.”

”I'll make sure to record our escape. I know you will want to analyze it later.” Harr nodded, put on his helmet and left the room.

Heath stared at the map with a frown. ”For Pren's sake, I hope I am wrong.”
