Epic Of The Demonic Sage Chapter 144

Lucius looked at the fang on Ariana's hand and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Can you increase the size of them?" Lucius asked.
Ariana her Lucius's words and nodded.
"Yes, I can… but only up to a certain extent," Ariana said before enlarging the fang.
The fang, which was only an inch long before, reached a length of six inches. Lucius was rather impressed by this and wondered how this gift worked. There were many questions in his mind and he knew he would like to use nexus on her gift later on.
For now, he nodded his head at Ariana and allowed her to rest.
"And what of Finch, what is her gift exactly?" Lucius questioned.
"I know of it so I can tell." Gellor replied.
"Sure, please do," Lucius said, allowing the man to speak.
"The Gift Finch has is a Rare ranked gift called Flame Touch. It does what its name means. She can ignite flames on her hand that are rather hot. It isn't hard for her to melt iron either after prolonged contact. The only restriction that she has is that the gift takes up a lot of Aether and has no range." Gellor explained.
"Ah, so that's why you said she would be the best for this job." Lucius stated upon hearing the explanation.
"Indeed, Young Lord Asher. Since we need to evaporate the mist completely, just the heat from her hands should be enough to do that." Gellor replied.
"Hmm… I understand. If we do decide to do this, then how long do you think Finch will take to recover? What did healer Delia say?" Lucius questioned.
"While the Emberian Herb should take care of her injuries themselves, she will still need at least a month's rest so that her body can get to the optimum condition. She said that the herb only increases the body's own capability of healing and thus would need more time after that to recover from the fatigue." Gellor answered.

"That does… seem reasonable," Lucius said after thinking for a bit.
A month in his mind was enough to get some more things set up so that the Brewery was up and running. Once that was done, it would not take them long to make the first batch and sell it. When that happened, the cost of procuring the Mist Veil beast's rune crystal might be even easier to handle.
'Hmm, it will take a month for Finch to recover and then another month for Gellor and his team to reach the Koran Hills. Overall, I would get the rune beast crystals at least three to four months later.' Lucius calculated.
He wondered if there was some other thing he could get Gellor and his team to do in the meantime and his attention went to another candidate that he had in his mind.
"Say Gellor, in the time that it takes Finch to heal you can do another job." Lucius stated.
"Umm, sure if you want we can take another one till then. But what's the job?" Gellor asked.
"It is the same, hunting down Rune beasts. But this time I want you to hunt two different beasts." Lucius replied.
"And what beasts are they?" Gellor questioned, feeling a bit excited.
"I want you to hunt down two different rune beasts. The first is Stampeding Bulls, and the second is Plow Worms." Lucius answered.
"This… We've hunted Stampeding Bulls before and would be able to manage, but plow worms… they are protected, Young Lord Asher. Killing them would be problematic." Gellor said with slight apprehension.
"Well, you don't have to hunt both the beasts right away. For now, you can go and see if you can get five Rune crystals from the Stampeding bulls. Their location is also much closer than the Koran hills thus you should be able to return by the time Finch is recovered." Lucius said in an assuring tone.

Gellor thought it over and nodded his head. While the Stampeding bulls were problematic beasts and also quite dangerous in large numbers, as long as they used the proper hunting tactics, they would be able to hunt them without much problem.
"Fine then, Young Lord Asher. We shall take up this job first then. We will go and hunt down the Stampeding bulls." Gellor said with a nod.
"Perfect. When can you leave and would you need anything for the hunt?" Lucius questioned.
"We can leave tomorrow morning after a bit of preparation. As for the hunt… I guess a carriage would make our work easier. We can get there faster and transporting the corpses of the Stampeding bulls will be possible too. They are worth quite a sum if sold to the right merchant." Gellor said.
Lucius had almost forgotten that the rune beasts were more than just their rune crystals and that their entire body was useful. Because of the peculiarity of the Mist Veil Beast Lucius had been a bit distracted as that beast did not leave anything other than a rune crystal behind upon its death.
"Of course, you can take two carriages with you. One closed carriage for you to sit in and another open for bringing back the Stampeding bulls." Lucius replied.
Lucius then looked towards the servant nearby and spoke.
"Ask the steward to allot these gentlemen the carriages as needed." Lucius ordered.
"As you wish, Lord Asher." The servant said before leaving to do his duty.
"We shall not take up any more of your time, Young Lord Asher and leave as well." Gellor stated.
"Sure, I hope you will succeed in your endeavor. I'll be waiting for the good news." Lucius said.
Gellor and the other three stood up and walked out of the meeting hall. Lucius accompanied them and squinted his eyes while glancing at Gellor for a second. As soon as he did, the information about his gift appeared in his mind.
'And just as I thought, no aether was used for it. As long as I have information about a gift beforehand and if I've used Aether on someone else with the same gift, nexus will not need any Aether.' Lucius thought.
