Rebirth Of Abium 61 Chapter 61: Loots

Meanwhile, In the Peral kingdom's royal castle garden, Abium and others watched that portal, and that snake demon disappeared from their visions.

Sigh! A low relief sigh came out from Abium's mouth.

"How are these guys still alive?" Lucius walked towards those warriors who still laid motionlessly on the ground where that demon stood before and surprised.

"That dark chain won't kill them, but it will corrupt their mind slowly," Abium said and gave back that crossbow to Lucius.

"Is there any cure for this? All of them are elite soldiers of the royal household." Abium fell into silence when he heard Former king Lucius's question.

'Cure, huh!'

"As far as I know, there are only two ways to cure them from being completely demonized." He stopped for a moment and continued with a sigh. "There is one medicine you can get everywhere in this continent, but now at this time, it would be very hard. No, I would say it would be impossible to achieve that."

"Holy water, huh!" Tabitha suddenly interjected.

"Yes, my lady. Because of the dispute going in between the holy church and royal family, I think they won't give even a small drop of holy water to anyone affiliated with our kingdom."

"Hmm, it's a big problem, indeed. And if the holy church members somehow found out about the demon's presence, then it would become big trouble." Lucius nodded.

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they send an army of holy knights and a cardinal to kill everyone in the royal city."

Yes! Abium knew that Pontiff would definitely utilize this chance and might invade this kingdom in the name of a crusade.

'Well, even after the arrival of chaos era, that pontiff planned to unite all the southern kingdoms and caused ma.s.sive riots.' In the past, he heard about that Holy see's tyrannical rule in those kingdoms and felt s.h.i.+vered a little inside.

'I even heard mages are the first one to be hunted down in the name of cleansing.'

Although the Holy see failed to unite the southern continent in the halfway ultimately, still they completely captured almost half of those kingdoms left everyone a bitter taste. Given all that was happening here, Abium thought the Holy see could also have played a part in the Keris kingdom's civil war.

When everyone heard Abium's comment, everyone fell into silence. After a long pause, Former King Lucius asked.

"What is the second way?"

"Your Majesty, why not ask any mother G.o.ddess follower?" Abium said with a sly grin. He knew this would be possible for the royal family. Soon, Lucius's expression brightened. Who were those mother G.o.d's followers? They were elves who always lent help to this Peral kingdom in secret.

From outside, you won't be able to notice any relation between the Peral kingdom and the elven kingdom. But in the past, after that grand n.o.ble gathering incident, the first one to come and stood behind the royal family was them.

Abium also had some slight suspicion about Prince Raollet's origin and quickly shook those thoughts. He doesn't have to think about their relations now.

"Hmm, then I will ask Raolett to get help from druids. Maybe their nature magic might cure this demon curse."

Druids! In the past, he has seen them from a distance during their visit to this royal city. Druids also mysterious peoples like mages and rarely even come out from Elven kingdom.

'Hm, That will work. Although I never had any chance to talk with any of them, they will definitely help.' Abium nodded his head and s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards Helena and baron Auguinare who laid there unconsciously on the ground.

Splas.h.!.+

Quickly he splashed some water on their faces and waited for both started to regain their conscious.

Groan!

Cough! Cough!

"Eh? Where … Abi! What happened? Ah! WHERE IS THAT MONSTER?!" Helena opened her azure eyes and shouted in a panic-stricken face. She still remembered that simple glare made her lost consciousness and felt powerless for the first time completely. She bit her lips and felt a light pat from her behind.

"Don't be discouraged, child. Someday you will also stand by his side and battle." Baron Auguinare stood up and comforted her. Now, he was also showing some nervous expression because this was the first time he had faced an entirely different enemy.

Baron knew how to fight against humans during the war, but against this abnormal being, he knew none of those techniques or war tactics would work.

Sigh!

"What the h.e.l.l happened here, kid?" After Baron Auguinare made a swift glance around his surroundings, he asked in a startled tone. Well, if he didn't ask like that when watching all 15 warriors laid with pale faces, then it would appear unusual.

"That... I will explain to you in detail once we went back to the mansion, My lord." He said then signaled them to follow him and s.h.i.+fted towards Lucious, who has been waking up his daughter Margery. Meanwhile, Lady Tabitha went towards where the half-eaten demon's hand was laid on the ground and stored it inside her spatial ring.

Abium walked near to Lucius and informed him about their departure then walked out of the garden towards the main hall.

"Mage Abium, do you have a moment?" A calm voice came from Lady Tabitha made his footsteps to half in the halfway.

He flinched when he heard her voice and returned his lean face with a nervous smile.

"How can I help you, my lady?"

'I have a bad feeling about this!'

"So, where is my share?" She came near to his right side and whispered towards his pointy ear with the same calm expression. Abium's smile froze and stood there like a statue for a moment without even blinking.

'Busted! d.a.m.n, she really did notice earlier, huh.' He sighed. After he scratched his head, he made a forced smile and pondered.

'Now it's time for negotiation, huh!'

"My lady, how much materials do you want?" He knew she wouldn't tell those mages. If she told them, then she would only get a measly amount of share. Moreover, she's a merchant and won't miss an opportunity like this.

As she had already expected that question, Tabitha made a broad grin and replied with another question.

"How many materials did she manage to steal from that demon?" She asked curiously. During the battle, Tabitha was startled when that girl who was accompanying Abium and boldly stealing that demon's materials without alerting it. If not for that girl made a mistake and touched one of those ice chains, Tabitha wouldn't be able to notice her presence at that time.

"8," Lily's lips curved upward and proudly said. The next instant, she moved her fingers and tried to bring out those materials in the corridor. But before she could do that, both Abium and Tabitha stopped her.

"First, let's move to a safe place and continue our discussion," Tabitha said and walked towards the courtyard direction while others followed her.

"Helena! I'm here." As soon as the group entered the courtyard, a cheerful shout came from the front. Quickly, a forest green-haired girl with emerald eyes dashed towards their direction and moved towards Helena.

"Don't run in the courtyard." Behind Camilla, Lady Roysia followed after her with a weary expression. But once she noticed who was on the front, her hooded amber eyes widened a little and immediately bowed to Lady Tabitha.

"Greetings, My Lady." Roysia greeted Lady Tabitha while brus.h.i.+ng her frizzy pink hair. After that, Helena, Camilla, and Roysia exchanged some words in whispers, and the group continued. They moved to the castle gate, leaving that lady Roysia alone in the courtyard. Meanwhile, Baron also went towards his own carriage, where his disciples were waiting.

Without minding puzzled n.o.bles gazes, the group went near Abium's carriage, which stood outside the entrance gate and got in.

Lady Tabitha and Lily also entered the carriage and silently sat on the opposite. Slowly, the new coachman drove the carriage towards the merchant's street.

"You can have any two material from those loots, my lady." Abium, who sat in silence the whole time, suddenly started the negotiation.

"Mage Abium, aren't you little too greedy. I had done most of the work, and I even spent most precious first-tier ice spear spell scrolls for the success." Lady Tabitha said with a sulking expression, but Abium didn't even mind that.

'She didn't even use 50% of her strength, and now she is talking like she went on life and death battle.' Abium snorted inside.

'I won't be fooled by her merchant's tricks. Humph' Abium repeated.

"2."

"No, I want four materials from the loot." Abium firmly shook his head at her response and finally added another one number. He also didn't want to anger a second-tier mage like her.

"3."

"4."

"3."

"4."

"3."

"4." Both stared at each other without even blinking, and finally, Abium began to talk.

"My Lady, I can give you three materials. Without her excellent thief skill, you won't be even able to get anything."

Everyone in the carriage stared at both of them with a dumbfounded expression. Even Camilla was showing a clueless expression on her face. Well, she didn't even understand why both were counting numbers.

Soon, a teeth-gritting sound came from Lady Tabitha's mouth, and finally, she gave up with a sigh.

"Okay, I agree with you. But if you are selling those materials, then I want you to sell them to our auction house."

Abium agreed without hesitation. He knew giving to the orchid auction house would be a good option than auctioning outside the kingdom. Although he would possibly lose some gold, that was not a problem.

"Mage Abium. Tell your partner in crime to take out those materials." Abium nodded his head and signaled Lily to take those materials out. There was an impatient expression on Tabitha's face, while others were showing curious expression. From time to time, he felt questioning gaze from Helena, but he didn't reply.

Lily placed her left hand on the crimson crystal embedded spatial ring on her right finger and tapped.

First, a small metallic brown colored like material appeared in her hand caused everyone's expression to frown.

Abium noticed Tabitha also didn't seem to know about identifying the first item and only shown puzzled expression. But soon he got the answer from Azolla.

'Bronze Dragon's scale!'

'For real?!' His eyes widened for a split second and soon calmed down. But Tabitha didn't miss his small facial expression on his face and narrowed her monolid eyes. Abium thought of asking about that in detail but soon noticed Lily already s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards the ring. Once again, she began taking out other materials from inside.

The next one was a small bottle that contains white power like material. When Lily took out, ice elemental energy swept inside the whole carriage and caused everyone to s.h.i.+ver a little.

Gasp!

Tabitha's eyes went wide. But she didn't explain anything about that powder and simply gave a wide grin.

[Arctic soil.] A small blue notification came in front of his eyes, but he skipped that. He knew Tabitha already marked this item, and he dont needs any elemental ice materials. Soon, others urged Lily to take out other materials.

The next instant, Blood mixed iron smell a.s.saulted the whole carriage inside as a half-decayed demon's head appeared in her hand. Lily gave a weird look then gave it to Abium. He took the head and also noticed Lady This time too, Tabitha showing an excited expression on her face made him frown.

'What is so special about this demon's head?' He confused.

"I want this demon head." She spoke out loud and grabbed it with both of her hands.

Abium didn't say anything and nodded his head to her. Lady Tabitha stored it inside her spatial ring and returned her gaze to Lily.

Following that, Lily took out a large head-sized reddish color orichalc.u.m ore, a root of unknown plant, a small blue crystal.

But both Abium and Lady Tabitha instantly recognized that blue crystal.

's.p.a.ce elemental crystal.' Abium could tell it was that s.p.a.ce crystal as elemental energy emitting from that crystal. Next was a green leaf.

'Nature's Leaf!' This time, only Azolla called out in exhilaration.

Although Abium didn't know how useful this leaf but from Azolla's tone, he was sure its value would be more. Lily made a tired sigh and finally took out the last material. It was a small stone with some graffiti and symbols inscribed on it. Both Tabitha and Abium got disappointed as there was no elemental fluctuation, or any mysterious energy came from that stone. Even Azolla didn't sense anything made Abium to be more puzzled.

"Okay, now it's time to split the materials."

Abium nodded at her and picked up that green leaf. Next, he took that stone tablet without any hesitation.

"Mage Abium, do you know what this stone might be? Even I couldn't feel any energy from this stone." Tabitha asked with puzzlement, but Abium shook his head.

"I too don't know, but I am sure it must be something precious." Tabitha narrowed her eyes then smiled tightly. Quickly she returned her gaze to other materials. Tabitha observed those materials and finally chose Arctic soil and the bronze dragon's scale. When she was noticing Abium's saddened expression, she asked.

"Do you know what this bronze crystal is?" From the expression this elf shown earlier, Tabitha knew he must know what this material was and made a bet.

Abium heavily sighed.

"It is a dragon's scale, My lady. From the books I read from my master's bookshelf, I saw the pictures of how the Bronze dragon's scale looks like." Once he finished his speaking, the whole carriage went silent.

"Are you sure mage Abium?" there was a sudden nervousness in her tone, but Abium didn't notice that and nodded.

"If the news got out, it will cause a huge uproar." She muttered out loud and soon continued.

"Mage Abium, please don't tell anyone about this dragon scale." Abium got confused but nodded in agreement. Soon, the carriage stopped while coachman shouted from the seat.

"My lady, we arrived at the orchid auction house."

"Oh! That was fast. Mage Abium, Don't forget to visit the orchid auction house if you are planning to sell those materials." Once Lady Tabitha finished her speaking, she opened the curtain and hurriedly ran out towards the residential area with an excited expression.
