Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Restitution, Botin Family (Side)

"Huh ...." I sighed after finishing the long process of the medicine I had made through the direction of Durae.

Again, it was a medicinal powder. A medicinal powder made by the process I can't believe.

A few hours earlier, he agreed to my requirements to provide concrete evidence of his proposal.

One doubt after another began to arise in me.

In the beginning when he took a long time, very long just to pick up the materials. Durae took and observed several types of herbs as if he had only first seen them. He even asked to be shown poisonous plants.

Although the use of poisonous plants for medicine was understandable, he looked at all the plants present. Sure in a long time.

With his behavior that seemed like he had first seen these materials, the suspicion continued to grow.

Then I, as one of the members of the Botin Family have studied many branches of alchemy since childhood. It was the basis for us and hence I was familiar with the alchemy procedures.

However, in the process of making medicine this time, what he directed at me seemed to refute what I had learned all along.

Mana fog, which is the basis for mixing ingredients in general in alchemy, does not show itself very often. Also many of the alchemy techniques I possess are useless in the manufacturing process. At most, only a few such distilleries were used.

After testing it on a small sample.

Was he just trying? For a moment, it was in my mind. However, this medicinal powder before my eyes has resolved all doubts.

How his brain was running is still a mystery.

Taking the top-tier Loop of Appraisal out of my pocket, I observed the medicine for a final check and information regarding the medicinal properties immediately entered my head.

Atra Mors's. It was a disease that Dirae said he could make that medicine immediately.

I would naturally not believe it directly because the disease could not be cured by any potion that we had known existed. And technically, Atra Mors is more like a transparent, inner field of Black Magic than a disease.

However, the results submitted by the Loop of Appraisal justify the claims of Dirae. Indeed there are some side effects that may arise and the drug works slowly, not instantly. Making sufferers must consume it regularly but it is only a plus point in terms of business.

"Huh ..," I said once more as my head tingled a little.

I have to think of a way to explain this to my family. The process of making this drug is different from the alchemy we know.

But, with these benefits they will most likely agree. Especially with the introduction of new techniques that need to be mastered in the manufacturing process.

"So, are you sure?" tanyakanya.

"Well, Dirae, it looks like we can move on to the next stage. We intend to study this recipe further and produce it widely. Is that okay?."

Now, how are you going to handle this? I thought I was waiting for his reaction. What I'm proposing is almost equivalent to the submission of a recipe. A thing that an alchemist would greatly avoid.

But—

"That's fine. And yes, you can make that medicine widely."

Again he exceeded my expectations.

W-what is saying this consciously?

This equates to the submission of recipes that are usually very avoided, right? It is indeed useful in the short term but in the long term—

"Yes, you can make the medicine widely and the process of making it myself can be left to you" he said, cutting off my mind. "However, the recipe should remain under my name."

So I do, huh?

We'll just take the rights of curiosity and production while the copyright is still held.

"In that case, we will conduct a trial based on the amount of capital you give."

Many techniques that are not commonly used in making so inevitably this must be done.

"That's fine," he replied before I even finished my words.

Is he sure this is going to work?

"And for profit, we will give 15% of the sales. Remember this is based on the previous premise."

"Yes, that's fine but I want to negotiate some parts."

Well, that's still within my expectations. So what part is he not satisfied with?

"For profit I will only take 7.5."

Again ... wouldn't someone usually take more profits?

"Ah yes, but remember that the recipe is under the name Edenwood."

"That's acceptable."

Next, we headed towards Melg's residence and Durae chose some assets he wanted to keep while others followed the previous arrangements. Most of them were things that tended to be unimportant to me, but he chose to keep them as well as all the books.

Perhaps it is only based on personal interest because the price of the book itself has fallen for more than half a century after the printing press was made. So take note of that.

And finally it became an afternoon when we parted. It seemed like he wanted to head to the church to take what the priest had promised.

Back at the now unused Potchi branch office, I leaned back a little. Quite exhausted after a long talk with Dirae. It has ended not only as a mere compensation.

I saw the air on my left side begin to slightly distort and ...

"Thank you for the hard work, Miss Yuma."

... Brim showed himself.

"You too." I replied lightly, leaning back and asking, "What do you think of her?"

"What do you mean, Dirae, Miss?"

I nodded lightly. Brim, as a member of the Scuri Family — who is the guardian of the Botin— Family must have been with me since. My impression of Dirae is important but I want to know how other people view him.

Brim looks to furrow his brows, thinking for quite a while before answering with a single word—

"Snack."

Well, I agree with that. However ...

"I feel like I've been watched by something for as long as you and Dirae talk. And it's necessary for Miss to know, I think that the Dirae still in step E and D- is the approximate high point."

... He said something that made me rethink.

Step E 'was it? I don't think that's possible because Melg, the Stain itself has been in C+ steps. Indeed he is not specialized in combat, but for step E can force Melg to issue a Spenta Demonfall that would clearly endanger him if known to others then ...

"You must be thinking too far, I don't think if it's for someone in step E."

... That's not possible. Absolutely impossible.

"Yes. Forgive my sass."

"It's okay."

I just want to find another point of view. And Brim's admission that he feels he has been watched also needs attention. It seemed like the possibility of Durae uncovering Melg because it was really a task that they gave off was quite large.

"Huh .. moreover it seems like he is an Elf race," I murmured.

Dealing with the longevity race was too troublesome for us, humans who incidentally had short lives. Indeed by climbing a Power Level higher it can extend the natural limits of age but still not worth encouraging resentment from them.

What I read from the history of the Lorentz Kingdom is enough to know that. The word 'recent' for them may remain in effect after 50 years of being missed. Well, maybe for ordinary humans it's like feeling the time of 5 years?

And since Girae did not seem to be entirely a Light Elf, from the color of her rather purplish ears she seemed to have the blood of a Dark Elf. It only made his age expectations higher. Maybe 800 years of normal?

However ...

"Brim, it's time we go home."

... For now I have to go back and tell the family about the previous results. What Dirae gave was enough to make changes in other areas as well.

"And don't forget to do a search on anything related to the word Edenwood after we arrive," I said firmly just before we teleported, disappearing from the office and returning to the main residence of the Botin Family.

Explanation of the Church and the Temple at EFO.

Churches and Shrines are two common designations for the body of belief of the associated Deities.

The Church itself in particular is those who believe in the Gods that are believed to be in good alignment (Good with the center on the seven Great Gods. Make their influence greater in the general public.

While the Temple is those who believe in the Gods who are believed to be in the alignment of evil (Evil) with the center of the seven Great Evil Gods. Their influence is considered to be similar to the church but is considered taboo.

The relationship between the two is like light and dark.
