Chapter 77
77 Aethelwolf’s Significance
Hearing his father asking about Aethelwolf’s products, Prince Calvin stared at him and chuckled internally. It looks like his father wasn’t that worried about the two empires at all since he still has the mood to talk about other things.
The second prince took out a bunch of items from his storage ring. Four pill bottles containing four kinds of pills as well as three differently colored small jade boxes.
“I’ll explain the pills later since they are more complicated. Let me tell you about this thing first.” Prince Calvin grabbed a green jade box and opened it, revealing a rectangular item that was also green in color. It exuded a unique fragrance that was similar to a newly bloomed flower.
“This is a soap. Using this makes your skin look smooth and healthy. You just have to wet it a bit with water and then scrub it all over your skin. This soap right here is a low-grade soap and this blue one is the mid-grade and the high grade is the purple one. Their efficiency also increases with respect to their grades. Overall, this item works like those beauty pills sold in the market. The one thing that makes it better than those pills is that each soap can be used for two weeks or even more, depending on how you use them.” Prince Calvin recited the information he got from the clinic.
Hearing this, Dimitri didn’t reveal that much of an interest, but the emperor let out a mysterious smile. It was a great product with a high profit potential. ‘That guy Aethelwolf is indeed clever...’
After explaining the soap, Prince Calvin grabbed a bottle of pill and said. “This is a Recovery Pellet...” He explained everything in detail with an excited look on his face.
“This one is a Vigor Pellet... It can...”
“This one right here is an Essence Gathering Pellet. It can increase the absorption of world essence by three folds upon consumption!” When Dimitri heard this, he finally revealed a look of interest. With his level, he would need a huge amount of world essence in order to increase his power. However, his rate of absorption is only similar to everyone and the pills on the market could only enhance his absorption rate by fifty percent! This Essence Gathering Pellet would be useful to high-level Espers like him!
Emperor Ragnar’s face turned serious. The soap was already enough to shock him, and both the Vigor Pellet and Recovery Pellet also managed to make him feel surprised by their effectiveness. Now, this Essence Gathering Pellet could no longer make him calm. “This... Why did you only buy one?” He could not help but stare at his son with an ugly smile on his face. However, he remembered that he was the one who told him to only buy one of each item. He could only curse himself for being incredibly stupid.
.....
Looking at his father’s expression, Prince Calvin chuckled. “Father, I know you’d say this so I used my own savings to purchase more of this pill, but the clinic only has a few dozen of them so I was only able to purchase twenty.” He took out more pill bottles while saying this.
As soon as he heard the effects of drinking this pill, he immediately went out of his way to procure more. Luckily, he also brought his own pocket money when he visited the clinic.
Seeing this, Emperor Ragnar raised his thumb at him and said. “Good! Good! What about the Vigor Pellet and Recovery Pellet, did you also buy more of them?”
Prince Calvin nodded his head, a wide grin can be seen on his face. “Of course! However, the last pill...” He moved his gaze to the Awakening Pellet. It was the most valuable pill sold in the clinic, but there were only ten and Aethelwolf didn’t allow anyone to purchase more than one.
“Among the four kinds of pills in the clinic, this one is the most valuable. Father, can you guess what effect this pill has? I’m sure you won’t be able to guess it...” He muttered in a mysterious tone.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Emperor Ragnar could already sense the vigorous energy contained inside. “Is it a pill that can increase your level?”
Prince Calvin shook his head. “No. This pill is called the Awakening Pellet. Upon consumption, one would immediately become an Esper!”
Hearing this, the eyes of Dimitri and Emperor Ragnar widened.
“What did you say?!”
“You heard me right. This pill can turn one into an Esper regardless of talent or age. Awesome, right?” Prince Calvin laughed in his heart when he saw their dumbfounded expression. In truth, he also had the same look when he heard the effects of this pill.
“Marvelous! This pill is unheard of! But I must say that Aethelwolf is truly brave. He actually dares to sell this pill in his clinic. Isn’t he afraid that some people might covet his recipe? Even if he is a Level 4 Esper, there might be some fearless people who would try to steal this from him.” Emperor Ragnar narrowed his eyes as he took the pill bottle from Calvin’s hand. This thing was incredibly valuable and if used well, they could form an army of Espers!
Prince Calvin pondered upon his words and nodded his head in agreement. “Father is right, but since Aethelwolf isn’t afraid of trouble, there should be nothing to worry about. Besides, he already has the Reynolds Household’s support. Lord Julius and Lord Harold wouldn’t allow anyone to harm him.”
“Indeed, but we still have to be careful. You have to talk with Aethelwolf about this matter after you’re done with your mission. That guy will become the headmaster of the academy so nothing must happen to him.” Aethelwolf’s significance to the empire was rising at a steady pace. With his unique pills, the emperor placed an even greater importance on him.
Aethelwolf must be protected!
