238 Interspatial Artifacts (2/2)

Aria and Lynne know about the war, but they would not know about the news that just arrived.

Lilith also felt compelled by the alliance between her and Leon and prepared to leave to deliver the news. Surprisingly, the palace guards did not stop her when she did so.

They had viewed her with prejudice for her race in the beginning, but that was no longer the case.

Perhaps, it was due to her current appearance, but regardless of the case, she no longer feels like a fugitive and more like a guest.

…

Meanwhile, Leon was trying to start a fire through primitive means of rubbing the dry branches to create heat friction.

For the success of his upcoming pill refining, he had already reserved a few strands of pseudo-Grandmist energy to control the earthly fire, but no matter hard he tried, he had yet to light the fire.

”Are you sure this will work?”

Lynne muttered on the side with skepticism and bored that Leon was such an unromantic person for paying more attention to the branches than them.

However, she did not complain since it seemed to be something important.

Leon's mouth twitched at the question. He was confident that his method would surely work, but seeing how his efforts had not event produced the slightest bit of smoke, his confidence has diminished over time.

”It should…”

Hearing the unconfident tone in Leon's voice, Aria carefully suggested, ”How about… I help you with my lightning element?”

She was not sure if her help would hurt his pride, thus she refrained from asking until now, but when Leon heard it, he stared into space dumbly for a moment before smacking his own head.

”Aiya, silly me. How could I forget we have such a genius lightning-user among us here? Ehehe… please.” Leon gestured with both hands to the little incomplete campfire.

Aria smiled sweetly, thinking Leon also had his cute sides.

With a single finger pointed at the incomplete campfire, a ray of lightning was shot out…

Bang!

The power of the lightning was too potent and all the gathered branches within the little incomplete campfire exploded into scattered splinters.

Leon and Aria just stared blankly at the now… empty incomplete campfire?

No, it was not even considered incomplete anymore. It was just a ring of rocks. The firewood was all gone.

”What the—!” Lynne jumped in startlement with wide eyes before asking jokingly, ”What kind of enmity did you have with the tree branches for it to deserve such treatment?”

”Umm… sorry.”

Aria covered her flushed face with guilt as she heard Lynne's jabbing remark.

”Erm, it's fine, it's fine… I just need to gather some more branches. Don't sweat it. Maybe… JUST maybe tone down on the power a bit next time, hahaha...” Leon laughed dryly and waved it off like it was just some trivial matters.

He could not see Aria's hidden face, but he did receive a resolute nod of affirmation.

After he regathered the branches again, nothing unexpected happened and proceeded according to plan.

The fire was lit nicely before Leon began pulling out the pill cauldron and spirit herbs to concoct the Realm Reversal Pill.

”How did you…”

Like everyone else, Aria and Lynne were startled by him pulling stuff out of thin air, but fortunately this time, he had prepared a nice excuse.

”I have an interspatial artifact.” Leon smiled and confidently said, ”Don't worry. When we get back to the Capital, I'll also make another two for the both of you.”

With his current knowledge of spatial runes, it should not be too difficult for him to come up with the designs for one.

Aria and Lynne opened their mouths, but they reclosed it and nodded compliantly.

”Mmm.”

They were just surprised and had no other thoughts. They would be happy with anything Leon gift them, not to mention such a convenient tool like an interspatial artifact.

They had not even known something like that was possible. Thus, it should be especially important and difficult to make.

For Leon to say he was going to make one for them each showed their great importance to him. Their hearts were filled with warm and fuzzy feelings as they smiled sweetly.

At the side, the more knowledgeable palace guards were filled with envious gazes and enlightenment. So, it was an interspatial artifact…

They thought it just something they have heard in the legends, but seeing was believing.

”Ahem, your Highness, we would also like—”

”Hm?”

”No… never mind…”

The palace guards changed their minds with awkward and wry smiles.

What kind of relationship do they share with the prince anyway? Would the prince also craft such an imaginably valuable interspatial artifact for each of them too?

Even if they were willing to suck his d*** for one, the prince had to be willing to accept first.

In the end, they could only continue to look at Leon sneakily with envious gazes and burning desires.

Leon suddenly shivered for unknown reasons.
