Chapter 306 Elementium Fire Pool
Feidnan City, Adept’s Tower.
A small elementium fire pool bubbled in a secret arcane room filled with mist.
Greem silently meditated in the pool.
There was no natural volcanic magma pool in the tower that he could use for recovery purposes. The fire elementium in this seven-meter-long, five-meter-wide, and one-meter-deep pool had been extracted from the energy pool at the bottom of the tower.
Seventeen percent of the energy that the adept’s tower gathered daily was needed to maintain this pool. If one were to consider the additional cost of purifying the elementium energies into pure fire elementium, this small pool took up a total of 31% of the tower’s daily energy reserves.
Converted to magic crystals, it would cost 120 magic crystals a day.
This cost was more than enough to hire a pseudo-adept to accompany you on an adventure into the woods!
The two talked over the mental connection for several minutes.
Once they finished, Greem rested his arms on the edge of the pool and laid down on his back. He couldn’t help but muse to himself, “Counterattack? Splitting the benefits? It seems Lady Sanazar has permitted me to gain something out of this! Well, I was going to build a tower and form a personal clan eventually. I suppose I’ll take this chance.”
…………
Fandear City.
Fandear was a small and prosperous city in the Laxia area that belonged to the Ximan Clan.
Wylick Castle, constructed one and a half kilometers into the western outskirts of the city, was the private property of Adept Sak.
In the past, this was the favorite place for the nobles and ladies of Fandear City. The entire castle would be brightly lit when night fell. Numerous extravagant carriages would be seen in the square before the building. Nobles with any influence would take pride in receiving an invitation from the respected adept and gather here for a night of drinking and feasting.
However, the entire place had become silent and vacant after the news of Sak’s death.
The gates of the castle were shut tight. A hundred servants, waiters, butlers, and guards hid in their rooms, nervously awaiting their unknown fate.
Two youths, one male and one female, nervously talked in a bedroom on the third floor of the castle.
“Celia, you must leave now…” The young man wore noble attire. His face betrayed an expression of worry and concern as he paced around the room, “We cannot wait until the people of the clan arrive. Grandpa is dead now. We will be affected by this event as direct descendants of his bloodline.”
The young man stopped before the girl and grabbed her shoulders. He shook them as he spoke, “Wake up! I’ve heard that the clan doesn’t intend to take revenge for Grandpa Sak. In fact, they want to hand us over to resolve this conflict. If you don’t want to become a slave, you have to leave her as soon as possible.”
“I won’t…I won’t…” The delicate and pretty girl spoke. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she was evidently lost.
If someone looked, they would see light grey patches near the parotid glands on her face.
If a Ximan adept had been here to see this, they would have been able to recognize this as an indication that the girl was awakening to her serpentine bloodline. When she started to mature, and her bloodline thickened to the extent that her innate talents could manifest, her head would gradually take on the traits of a snake, much like Sak.
However, the fact that only a trace of bloodline awakening was manifesting when she was already almost sixteen meant that she had limited potential. Even so, the initial rousing of her bloodline powers had given her strength rivaling advanced apprentices.
Of course, she was still unable to properly use the power within her when compared to the more weathered and experienced apprentice adepts!
Her bloodline talent was extremely limited for a descendant of Adept Sak. Her elder brother didn’t even have any signs of bloodline awakening. He was a thoroughly ordinary man.
