96 The Secret of the Apprentice Pill (1/2)

The map showed the whole Zuatania Republic.

The Zuatania Republic covered an extensive area, but it was connected to only two other places, one was the ocean which covered most of the surrounding area while the other was the Anpaes Kingdom, which started at the long mountain range which marked the end of the Zuatania Republic.

The map ended at the mountain range which covered the whole area from north to south; the map didn't contain information for the Anpaes Kingdom or the rest of the continent.

Yale sighed because he didn't find the Revgen Empire in that map as it wasn't a neighbor country of the Zuatania Republic.

Julie looked at Yale's depressed expression.

”You seem disappointed.”

”This map doesn't contain what I wanted; I will need to look for a better map.”

”A better map? Even I would be unable to get one of those.”

Yale knew that he could do nothing about it. Furthermore, since the Revgen Empire wasn't a neighbor country, he wouldn't dare to go with his current strength.

Inside the Zuatania Republic, he would be quite safe with his identity as the founder of an official Company, at least no one would try to harm him openly. However, if he needed to cross the ocean or the Anpaes Empire, his chances of dying would be too high, he couldn't do it alone.

”I know, thank you.”

”You don't need to thank me, just say that secret about Wyba.”

”This is something that even Oscro didn't know. Wyba isn't a Frost Wolf; she is a Frost Winged Wolf.”

Julie didn't seem happy with Yale's answer.

”Stop joking. A Frost Winged Wolf should have wings while Wyba hasn't any. Furthermore, find a Frost Winged Wolf is extremely difficult, how would you manage to get such a cub.”

As a fluffy beings lover, Julie had studied a lot about fluffy beasts, and she knew about the Frost Winged Wolfs even if she had never seen one. It was already difficult to believe that Yale had managed to obtain a Frost Wolf cub like Wyba who was cute and obedient because even with her authority she didn't manage to get any beast which was as lovely as Wyba.

The captured beasts obey her due to the slave contract, but they showed displeasure due to be enslaved so they couldn't compare with Wyba who was happy to be hugged. After all, Wyba chose to be with Yale; she was his little sister and not his slave, her situation was different than those beasts Julie had bought.

Hearing Yale's words, Wyba understood his intentions, and she showed her wings.

”Whoa, a pair of wings just grew from her back! She is really a Frost Winged Wolf, but I didn't know that the wings were possible to hide. I can't believe you have such good luck.”

Julie started to pat Wyba's fluffy wings; she was pleased with the exchange of information.

”Remember to don't say it to anyone, or maybe Wyba's popularity would grow even more, and Oscro would extend her working hours, decreasing your time with her.”

Julie nodded, she didn't plan to tell it to anyone. If she should, she would monopolize Wyba all the time, of course, she would pay even more than the normal customers, but that would affect Oscro's marketing strategy of using Wyba to attract people.

”Your piece of information seems more valuable than my map. You can ask me something else as compensation.”

Julie felt that since Yale didn't seem happy with the map's information while she enjoyed Wyba's secret the deal wasn't fair and decided to share a bit more of information with Yale as it didn't require any effort to her.

Yale didn't dare to mention the Revgen Empire's name, so he decided to ask about something that was bothering him since he met Oscro.

”Do you have an Apprentice Pill? I want to take a look at one.”

Julie didn't expect such a request. Her face turned serious.

”I have one in my spatial artifact. However, you are still too young to eat one of those, with your current prowess you won't need to rely on such a pill to reach Rank 1. Your appearance might fool someone like Oscro, but I can see that you are younger than me even if you look like you have my same age due to probably eating some natural treasures which made you mature faster.”

Yale wasn't expecting that Julie discovered that he was younger than his appearance, but that wasn't something that would harm him even if everyone discovered it. If that fact were known the Silent Healer fans would probably increase even more.
