The Regressor Sells Giyeon 218

Chapter 218 – Elixir

#218.

Three days have passed since that day.

After lunch, Gaon met the second prince after a long time and enjoyed tea time together.

Fluff-

“Has Ariel not contacted you yet?”
“Yes, it seems to take some time to prepare.”
“No matter how you think about it, it’s a waste. As far as I can see, just be my girl! I would have accepted it.”

I’ve been talking about this for several days now. Gaon waved her hand from side to side with an expression that was not even serious.

“It can’t be. Would the Sabrina family just watch it?”
“What if I don’t see you? How do they refuse to do what the high elves have decided?”

Although bound by the title of head of the family, high elves are like kings leading all elves. Since it is the incarnation of the World Tree, which they enshrine as a god, it is rather more.

It means that even if the high elves were to accept a non-elf human as their companion, they would not be able to stop them.

The second prince pointed that out.

“Anyway, I don’t think so.”
“Tsk… , Why waste the opportunity to get a talented and beautiful wife?”
“Because there are already lovers as talented and beautiful as him.”
“Don’t you know the more benefits? I can’t speak.”
“I don’t seem to be able to communicate with Her Highness either, so it’s common for both of us.”

Love cannot be forced into bondage. Even if you get it that way, it’s hard to see it as true love.

Without thinking too much, I could see how loose a relationship made under the name of a trade would have and huge side effects.

Above all, I didn’t want to covet Ariel while doing that.

‘It’s enough even now.’

Gaon is already being treated as the greatest benefactor of the Sabrina family. Here, he was saying that he didn’t have to solidify her position by marrying Ariel.

Suddenly, memories of that time came to mind.

– Anything?

– Yes, anything. Entire.

-Then, get the materials listed here.

-You mean this? Any other requests?

-Yes, nothing in particular.

The strange expression she made at that time is still not erased from her mind.

Her expression, relieved as if she was fortunate, but strangely trembling as if her pride had been hurt, showed that she was willing to marry even if it was her marriage, just as her second prince had said.

But it’s understandable that the other person keeps making strange requests as if he doesn’t care about you.

‘Did I say that I was still unmarried?’

Ariel, who was not very positive about seeing her heir from the beginning, said that due to the poisonous dragon’s appearance a thousand years ago, the divinity of the World Tree was polluted, and because of the adverse effects that would occur if she gave birth to a child, she continued to be with her after that. Never heard of, she says.

It means that she has maintained her virginity for more than 4000 years.

Gaon thought about Ariel and then turned her head to look outside her.

‘Things are going smoothly.’

Two days ago, I also contacted Louisiana and talked about advancing into the Republic of Elbrancia. As soon as we are ready, we will expand our business right here.

And since Ariel has stepped in, it won’t take too long for her to get the ingredients for the elixir. Since the two most difficult materials are available at any time, it can be mass-produced.

With this, you can drastically reduce the number of casualties lost in the ensuing battle and prepare for the final battle to come.

All preparations were as thought. No, it is going well to a level that exceeds it.

It’s so bad that I wonder if it can be this good.

While drinking tea and enjoying the languor of the afternoon, a knock suddenly rang.

Smart.

“Come in.”

Kiik-

With the permission of the 2nd prince, the door opened and his escort knight appeared.

“… There are people who are looking for Gaonkyung.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes. They say that Ariel Sabrina sent it.”

It seems to have gathered all the ingredients. Gaon immediately got up from his seat and trimmed his clothes.

“Majesty. I’m sorry, but I think we should go.”
“Let it be. And think carefully about what I said. You might be like that, but maybe Ariel is different?”
“Nothing like that. See you next time.”

2 Gaon, who had left a greeting for the prince, left the room and followed her guide to Ariel.

I went into her top room and saw her leaning against the balcony to one side of her to get some fresh air. As she gets closer, she turns her head.

“Came?”
“See you in three days. Your face looks better than before.”
“Is that so? This is all because of you. I never thought I would ever see a life without pain again.”

Wheeeee-

A cool breeze blew her blonde hair. Her dazzling smile exudes unreal beauty.

She stood beside her for a moment, gazing up at the blue sky, savoring the air before Ariel pulled a pocket bag from her bosom.

“Rather than that, this is what you asked for. Perennial Ice Crystal and Cheonhwacho. Also, it contains all the horns of the bipod and the fruit of the world tree.”
“Thank you for your effort. May I check it?”
“Yes, as much as you like.”

Gaon put his hand in the subspace pocket and took out the ingredients one by one to check. She is all superlative, without the slightest stain.

“I am sure. Thank you.”
“It was nothing. When I think of the grace I received, that much is nothing. Above all, you paid for everything.”
“Still, isn’t it something that cannot be obtained with money alone? And that too in such a short time. I know you must have suffered quite a bit.”

The price of materials was also bought cheaply at a level that left almost no margin. Since each of them is a level of elixir that can only be found once every few thousand years, it would have taken several years if they had tried to obtain it without going through Ariel.

‘I can make about 10 bottles.’

10 bottles of elixir that can save a dying person with just one drop in a huge beaker. It will probably be difficult to use even if you go for the rest of your life if you only use it among your friends.

Although it is slow here, there is no need to worry as we will gradually collect additional materials and start manufacturing.

‘I need to meet Cain.’

There was no other reliable alchemist Gaon knew. When he goes back, he thought of going to visit Priscilla first, so he can drop by.

While thinking about his return, Gaon felt Ariel’s gaze and put his subspace pouch into his bosom.

“Then I will go. You must be busy, but I can’t hold it for long.”

Saying so, Gaon turned around. Ariel hastily grabbed his collar.

“Wait a minute.”
“Yes? Do you have anything else to do?”
“No. It’s not like that, but have some tea and go.”

Gaon scratched the back of her head as if in trouble.

Before coming here, I had a tea time with the 2nd prince. Ariel must have known that, but she couldn’t figure out why she insisted on drinking tea again.

That said, it’s hard to refuse, and there’s nothing wrong with drinking a lot anyway, so I thought I’d do that, so the moment I was about to open my mouth, Ariel spoke first.

“We have never drunk tea from the leaves of the World Tree, have we? It has the effect of purifying the body. The mana affinity is also a little, but it will increase. How about it?”
“… Excuse me then.”

Mana affinity is an innate ability, so it can never be changed. It’s pretty much the only way to make that possible.

If you miss this opportunity, you are a fool. Gaon immediately accepted the offer and stuck his ass where Ariel pointed.

Then she smiled and took out a teapot and three or four leaves that glowed in clear green light from the space, and she brewed tea in an instant.

Then she poured her tea into the cup with her graceful gestures and held it out to Gaon.

“Try it. I hope it suits your taste.”
“Thank you.”

Fluff-

She carefully took a sip of her tea and held it in her mouth, and her scent hidden inside exploded.

‘It’s amazing.’

At the same time, the tea water settled in her stomach was a kind of energy, and she ran around trampling her whole body as if she was going to remove even the slightest dirt that existed in Hwahae’s body.

The clearest and cleanest aura in the world was enough to give an illusion that this might be it.

A kind of thrill. Or, savoring her pleasure, contemplating inside, Ariel spoke cautiously.

“How are you? Was it bad by any chance?”
“Oh, sorry. The scent of the tea is so good that I fell in love with it. That’s great. This is the first time I’ve eaten this since I was born. If I could, I would want to eat it every day.”

Even if you have a hard time waking up in the morning because of low blood pressure, you can probably solve everything with this one.

In the first place, the energy of the tea will erase all the takgi that exist in the body, so the low blood pressure itself will be corrected.

Ariel smiled as I praised her.

“I’m glad you like it. And if you come to the car, I’ll get you there anytime. I’ll give you some when you go, so take it with you.”
“If you do, that’s good for me. Thank you Ariel.”

I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude, but Ariel hesitated for a moment, fiddling with the teacup, then quietly opened her mouth.

“… Ariel.”
“Yes?”
“Just call me Ariel. He’s not brazen enough to be honored by his benefactor.”
“Then let’s do it. Ariel. You can just call me Gaon.”
“All right. Gaon.”

As I called her by her name comfortably, I felt that the sense of distance had decreased. Gaon exchanged smiles with Ariel and continued the tea time.

***

“Prince Ariel. Thank you for your very generous hospitality. I hope to see you next time.”
“Yes. Thanks to the prince’s visit, the dark clouds of Sabrina’s family have been lifted. I hope we can continue good relations with the Empire in the future.”

Today is the day to return to the Empire.

Gaon and his party were currently watching the conversation between the second prince and Ariel in the guest room at the top of the World Tree.

They greeted each other for a while, chatted, and then fell apart.

Ariel came straight to Gaon.

“Gaon. Please come back next time. At that time, I will treat you even more.”
“Yes. Of course. Until then, I hope you are doing well.”

There was no choice but to come to the Republic of Elbrancia at least once, even for business. No matter how troublesome things were entrusted to Lucipeon’s side, there would always be things to deal with.

Ariel nodded her head in satisfaction, then asked her quietly with a troubled look.

“But come. Other Taesang family heads say they want to meet, but is it really not possible?”

Curing the World Tree served by the Sabrina family was not limited to them.

The Republic of Elbrancia is in the form of a federal republic, and the seven high elves are one body. Of course, the damage that will occur if one of them collapses is indescribable.

Having blocked it, they will want to thank you in their own way.

However, Gaon firmly shook her head.

“No. It’s okay.”
“But it will help a lot once you get your face open. It would be beneficial for business, but are you really not going to meet?”

Ariel’s expression is that she can’t understand.

As you saw the reaction of her second prince the other day, not all of her high elves have her warm and caring personality like her.

It is quite exhausting to deal with old people who must have been clogged up because of their age. Gaon has no intention of doing that.

‘I just need to prevent destruction anyway.’

It is said that Ariel’s lifespan is not very long, but even so, it is hundreds of years.

At that time, it would be after her fight with the Dimension Eaters was over, so she didn’t want to meet the high elves even at the cost of her mental strength.

With the full support of Ariel, the current ruler of the Republic, even they would not hold grudges and interfere with this refusal.

Gaon expressed it simply.

“It’s okay. As long as you have Ariel.”
“Oh, yes, yes? Me, me?”
“Yes. I have Ariel and they can’t get in my way. I believe in you.”
“… Okay. Trust me.”

Ariel replied, but he couldn’t meet her eyes and bowed his head, clutching his chest tightly.

“Miss Gaon!”
“Master can’t stop it.”

Gaon stepped back in surprise at the hands of the lovers tearing at his side.

After such a short farewell, Gaon returned to the capital through the gate that Ariel had activated.
