Dagger 56 Organ Restoring Potion

"Huff... huff... huff...", The already exhausted Edwin wheezed as he arrived atop an elevated ground. From where he was standing, he could see the Monarch Forest and Allen's figure from afar.

The boy didn't waste more time and rushed to the shop owner. As soon as was near Allen, Edwin knees fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

"I didn't expect for you to arrive here by noon.", Allen approached Edwin and checked on his condition. "No broken bones, no frozen internal organ, overall strength and agility increased, and it looks like your const.i.tution improved a bit."

Edwin sat up with great difficulty and took out two objects from his robes, "I met a white wolf earlier, he said that I should give these two flowers to you. He also said thank you for curing his pack."

Allen took hold of the Blizzard Crown Lotuses inside the ice cubes and examined them, "Coincidentally, I needed these lotuses."

'Looks like I don't have to venture inside the Monarch Forest after all.', Allen thought.

"You did good, rest up.", Allen commented. Travelling from Horizon Mountain to Monarch Forest was difficult and exhausting for somebody like Edwin. Even if the robes that the boy was wearing helped it strengthened his resistance and body during the arduous strong wind, it didn't increase the boy's overall stamina.

"So, what am I going to do next?", Edwin asked.

"Travelling back from here to the bottom of Horizon Mountain.", Allen replied back.

"W-what?!", Edwin almost fainted when he heard the sentence. "I thought you're going to teach me how to fight?"

"Not now, your body is too weak.", Allen said. The boy couldn't refute the shop owner's words and he only stayed quiet.

After an hour of resting, Allen said goodbye to Edwin and sprinted off far away from the latter's eyes in a blink of an eye.

Edwin breathe in deeply and looked towards the somewhere north-northwest, where the Horizon Mountain was from his position. He gritted his teeth and started to travel once again.

When he left, he still hasn't noticed that there were eyes watching his back from the forest.

...

Time pa.s.sed and Edwin returned to the base of the Horizon Mountain. As it was almost closing time, Allen carried Edwin up on his back up the mountain and rushed towards a secret tunnel which lead towards an alley inside the city.

When the both of them returned to the shop, Edwin was already walking on his own. Allen looked for James at the counter but didn't see him, then he heard the sound chuckling and looked towards the direction from where it came from.

At the corner of the shop, both Anna and James were playing with a small sprout on a pot. The girl was carrying a stick that she secretly lit on fire through her magic while the other kid was looking away from her.

Of course, the little sprout was none other than Little Salad.

Hearing the shop door clicking when it closed. Both the two kids looked over at Allen and Edwin.

"Mr. Morgan, you're back!", James approached the counter.

"h.e.l.lo Alchemist Morgan!", Anna smiled innocently.

On the other hand, the Little Salad suddenly waved towards Allen and became red for a moment but returned back to its original color. It was obvious that it was feeling wronged for being played by the two children. Inwardly, it wanted to tear them, but it feared that Allen might really make a salad out of it.

"James, you can go home now. And it's closing time, you should also leave, Anna.", Allen said.

"En!", both of the kids nodded and left the shop and they both went to different directions.

"You will go towards the north side of Monarch Forest and back here everyday until next week. That'll be the first session of your training.", Allen said to Edwin.

After a pause, Allen added, "You can sleep in my bedroom again, I'm going to do something in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Do not disturb me, understand?"

"Okay mister...", before Edwin could finish hid sentence, Allen interjected, "Don't call me mister, I'm only maybe a few years older than you are. Just calling me 'Allen' is enough, I already told you this."

"Alright, Allen.", Edwin walked upstairs, while Allen went straight to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

'He is so cool.' A joyful smile cracked up on his face as he inwardly said those words.

...

"Blizzard Crown Lotus, a flower that is dangerous when used as a weapon from those pract.i.tioners from the republic from the east. But is also a great remedy for injuries due to it's extremely cold yet refres.h.i.+ng properties.", Allen muttered.

He placed both of the lotuses in ice cubes on top of a table and took out the leather bound book full of drawings and informations about alchemical products and things related to alchemy. He turned its page to where the Organ Restoring Potion was.

He ignited the fire from under the gla.s.s containers used for Liquid Alchemy and readied all the ingredients for creating the Organ Restoring Potion. He stored one of the Blizzard Crown Lotuses inside his satchel, kept the other one outside, took out a dagger, and started breaking apart the ice cube where the lotus was.

As soon as the ice cube broke, Allen took out a pillow from his satchel and placed the lotus flower on it. When the lotus flower touched the pillow, ice started to slowly spread on its surface, proving the coldness and magical properties of the flower.

He wore gloves specially made for handling alchemical const.i.tuents, and approached a particular gla.s.s container where most of the ingredients would be put in.

The water inside the gla.s.s containers started to boil. Afterwards, Allen decreased the strength of the fire, and took out a clean knife and a whetstone. He sharpened the knife with the whetstone and started removing the skin of the ginseng, when the said action was done, Allen then minced the ginseng and some of the other ingredients.

After which, he took hold of a covered gla.s.s of bottle with some sort of liquid.

"A gla.s.s of Mana Parasol Dew, came from the Mana Parasol Tree. It could strengthen one's spell or body, and could also slightly purify the mana in one's body and slightly increase the storage of the energy inside the body.", Allen muttered.

What's the difference between mana, energy of the body, and stamina?

The mana's a type of energy that's ever present in the air. It also has a purity level, the purer the mana one could refine within their body, the more powerful their spells would be. Of course, only magicians or people that could control it could make use of it.

The energy of the body or internal energy[1], came from the body itself. It wasn't needed to be purified, because the said energy that the body would produce would be already perfect for the const.i.tution of the body of the pract.i.tioner.

One could produce pills that could replenish internal energy; although in clarification, the way the pills work weren't supplying the said energy, but temporarily boost the creation of the internal energy of the body, hence replenis.h.i.+ng it.

As for stamina, it's as it was. However, when internal energy was depleted, the body would be exhausted. For example, to Allen's case, if his internal energy was depleted due to using the Erchian Dagger, he nearly won't be able to move anymore due to exhaustion.

Plus, stamina [or endurance], it's still a separate type of physical or mental strength [energy] that nearly all living beings possesses.

If one was an internal energy pract.i.tioner, they would still be fatigued even if they weren't using the said energy. Why? It's because, again, stamina is a separate type of bodily strength.

In addition, mana pract.i.tioners also had stamina; however, they won't be a potato when they deplete themselves of their mana, unlike their counterparts.

All in all, mana and internal energy had their pros and cons. The former was mostly available anytime and anywhere, but the power or spells also depended on the purity of the mana, respectively; as for the latter, it was already perfect for the body, hence it has a stronger output of power than mana, however, they would be reliant to the said energy, once they depleted it, they could be considered as a dead chicken by then if they were currently battling.

He poured one drop of Mana Parasol Dew to the first gla.s.s container through a small hole on the top. When the drop mixed with the boiling water, the white smoke that the first container suddenly became fragrant, then the water became a bit cleaner and purer, which also happened to the next connected gla.s.s container and to the next until to the last one.

The Mana Parasol Dew acted as the water purifier at this case.

Then Allen put all the ingredients except for the Blizzard Crown Lotus in a sequence inside one of the connected unique gla.s.s container.

Afterwards, he sliced off the lotus flower itself from it's stem and hurriedly put it inside the same gla.s.s container.

Allen removed his gloves, with both of his palm areas almost covered in ice due to touching the flower alone. He looked at the stem and thought of a way to dispose of it.

Then he suddenly looked to the direction where Little Salad was.

...

Few minutes later, Allen returned back to the bas.e.m.e.nt and looked at the last gla.s.s container, where the finish product would be.

After several minutes, he turned off the fires under the gla.s.s containers, signaling that the product was fully created.

Unlike the Adept Mana Stabilizing Pill, the Organ Restoring Potion was much faster when it came to duration of how long will the concoction be finished. One could shorten the time needed, but rare herbs, treasures, and a large amount of internal energy would be needed, which Allen has, however, he won't use it to the said pill, because he and Anna were just faintly 'service traders'.

The last small gla.s.s container that Allen was now holding was halfway filled of violet liquid, which was the Organ Restoring Potion.

Allen took off his eyepatch and placed back the seemingly cool Organ Restoring Potion on the table.

He equipped his normal dagger. Then he stabbed it towards his faded right eye.

It wasn't just any stab tho, his intention was to remove his eye directly from his skull!

-pshew-

After removing his right eye, he immediately poured a drop of Organ Restoring Potion on his right eye.

In a matter of seconds the eye grew back, but it wasn't just due to the Organ Restoring Potion, because Allen also learned how to regenerate from the Erchian Dagger.

He already tried this method of stabbing out his eye a long time ago and heal it back, however, Reptile's Condemnation was too powerful, and so, that eye stayed blind for many years.

The Organ Restoring Potion wasn't only for was.h.i.+ng away poison from organs, but could also heal and regenerate them too.

Allen planned with help of the said potion, his eyes would go back to normal the way before it was!

When the eye fully grew back, Allen closed his left eye, and found out that the potion worked! His right eye has been healed!

"It worked?", Allen muttered. However, his vision on his right eye slowly became darker and darker, until he couldn't see anything!

He opened back his left eye and took out a gla.s.s from his satchel, and saw that the pupil of his right eye slowly became gray!

Just after the sun has set...

At the Obreim Residence...

James arrived back home and saw Melanie and Albert were already at the dining table, preparing to eat dinner.

"You're finally back? Go replace you clothes and eat dinner.", Melanie said.

"Alright, mom.", James immediately went upstairs.

"About the 15 crown bronze coins we talked about?", Albert suddenly asked Melanie.

Melanie searched for the said amount of money inside her pockets but couldn't feel anything.

"My bad, I forgot. I'll be right back, I'm going to get it.", Melanie went upstairs towards their bedroom and took out 15 crown bronze coins from a locked drawer and placed it in her pockets.

As she was about to leave the room, she suddenly looked towards under the bed and pulled out a box from underneath it. He opened the box, which was filled of sewed clothes for a baby girl.

She smiled and warmly hugged it, and placed it back under the bed. Then she went back downstairs.
