BXBX NOVEL Chapter 164 Acquiring The Cure
As Levienel just prepared to fly, Zick remembered something.
"Right, Miss Levienel, please make a teleportation circle here. It might come in handy later on." Zick decided to be vigilant.
It took only half a minute for Levienel to set a teleportation circle in the hall of the palace.
They next departed not wasting a second.
\'That was a crude way of taking care of others, but to me, it\'s the best way.\' Zick thought while Levienel took him to Baron Rekert\'s domain.
They flew in a streak leaving behind a straight golden trail, it was a speed that was hard to follow.
Looking at his surroundings, Zick could only vaguely see things passing by him. Right at that moment his demonic eye was closed so he could only use his other normal eye.
\'The plan of becoming a \'kind\' person will be carried on like I originally planned. I just modified some parts and I think it has a high chance of success.\'
By becoming the saviour of this kingdom, Zick would open up the road to his future. He would be able to interact with other forces and talented people more naturally this way.
And regarding recruiting them, Zick was still quite skeptical and unsure.
There was also the option of just getting close to them and making connections. This way they would help him in the war with the demon lord but in this option, the chances of them risking their lives for him falls drastically.
\'For now, my main objective is to collect the talented people with immense potential who are recruitable at this moment and spread my name as a messiah around the Eastern continent.\' Zick made up his mind to focus on these two matters wholeheartedly.
Soon Levienel and Zick arrived above the Rekert family manor.
The soldiers moved hectically here and there making it obvious that the pandemic had already made its way here.
By the time Aeiron arrived at the Eastern continent, baron Rekert had already died.
Right now, he was alive as Zick arrived a year early.
"Use that invisible magic," Zick said plainly to Levienel.
Both Zick and Levienrl vanished in the middle of the sky with a gust of wind.
Zick landed in front of the huge mansion not bothered about the soldier moving around there at all. He entered the mansion through the main door from which the soldier entered.
CLICK~ The soldier closed the door not noticing Zick\'s existence at all.
Zick headed towards the manor lord room, where Baron Rekert was.
Levienel followed behind Zick quietly.
\'Searching for the basement seems too annoying and there is also the chance that Baron Rekert has the cure\'s formula in his hand right now so it\'s best to meet him first.\'
It was one year early so there was a chance that the cure was not in the place Aeiron found it.
Zick arrived in front of the manor lord\'s room in no time and took out the cursed sword from his space ring.
Click~ opening the door, Zick and Levienel entered the room.
There was only a middle-aged man on the table, looking out from the window. He was Baron Rekert, Meilsten.
"Now what happened?" Meilstein asked not turning back.
"Undo the invisible magic on me," Zick said, readying his sword.
At that moment, Zick vanished from his original position and reappeared beside Meilsten. He held the sword below Meilsten\'s neck threateningly.
But surprisingly, Meilsten didn\'t seem to be scared or intimidated at all. He looked back at Zick\'s eyes with an impassive face.
Meilsten opened his mouth and started speaking in a dry voice: "You can kill me if you want to, I don\'t mind. I have already achieved what I wanted after all."
There was a sense of liberation and peace in Meilsten\'s eyes.
Zick narrowed his eyes, he could see dark spots all over Meilsten and even feel his condition was not good internally. He was infected by the Revelner disease.
Or more specifically, he infected himself.
Seeing this, Zick put down the sword feeling threatening to be useless.
"Give me the cure for the Revelner disease," Zick spoke coldly while glaring at Meilsten.
Hearing this, Meilsten\'s expression froze: "You...Sigh...quite brilliant for you to find out it was me. I made hundreds of precautions and measures guarding against almost all that could make me seem suspicious....but it was not enough huh?"
From Meilsten\'s voice, it didn\'t seem like he was against giving the cure to Zick.
Meilsten smiled at Zick: "Why do you need the cure?"
"My friend needs it...." Zick answered immediately.
Meilsten fell into a session of deep consideration hearing this.
Zick was losing his patients now: "Give the cure to me fast, she is dying as we speak."
If Zick could, he just wanted to kill him and look for the cure formula.
But If by any chance, Meilsten had not written or recorded it anywhere, What will Zick do?
All of it would become useless and he would lose Seveleen, who was a very good pawn.
Meilsten sighed lightly and spoke with hesitation: "I have already taken my revenge upon the dukes and royalty of this kingdom. Though the royalty is still alive, as long as they suffer it\'s enough for me." His voice got firmer as he continued speaking.
"Only prince Yelster...he had to die. With him now dead, I was going to kill myself too. You are lucky to come at such a time."
Meilsten took out a parchment from the drawer of the table. He handed over the parchment to Zick and started looking at the view outside again.
Getting what he wanted, Zick started reading it rapidly.
\'It\'s similar...there were correctly four pages mentioning the way to make it and other important things to consider while producing the cure. There are correctly 43 ingredients like in the novel too..\' Zick\'s considered at lightning speed.
Zick nodded his head towards Meilsten slightly and put the parchment in his space ring.
Meilsten opened his mouth seeing Zick trusting the cure he gave out so readily: "Do you have medical knowledge too?"
"No." Zick opened the window with no hesitation.
He didn\'t have to say anything, Levienel knew his intentions.
A golden glow covered Zick and he flew into the sky turning into a point in Meilsten\'s vision in no time.
Zick looked at Levienel who also undid the invisible magic.
"Let\'s go to Chertel city next," Zick instructed with a relaxed look.
One of his worries was solved now, he concentrated on the next one.
Zick\'s eyes flickered with bright light: \'Realen and Kerene, these two people are the next targets.\'
Recruiting these two people was easy in Zick\'s eyes. They are famous mercenaries in the future, but now they are just vagrants who became beggars because of revelner disease.
There was also another thing that Zick realized along the way. The being influencing his thought did not have anything to do with why he felt a lot emotional these days.
\'I can control my emotions just fine now, my prior mistakes caused by emotions must be because something was influencing my thought.\' Zick put it aside for now.
Levienel arrived at the slum area in Chertel city. Beggars slept at the side of alleys like dead bodies, some were already dead, while some were still trying to survive somehow.
Zick took off the eye patch from his right eye and looked around. His vision expanded to a large area, even the mana in the air was visible to him.
Zick searched for the person he came for, only a few hours had passed since morning so the place was quite bright right at the moment.
He soon found a person with a sizable amount of potential.
Zick\'s eyes widened looking at it: \'Oh, that\'s surprising, with this much potential, this person could rise unto the grandmaster rank and rise higher.\'
His attention was taken over by whoever this person was, he told Levienel to fly near the person.
It was a man with rags as his clothes, there was dirt all over his body.
It was Aeiron! The protagonist of the Novel- \'The hero of Velveric fights the demon lord\'!
Coming in contact with Aeiron, Zick started thinking at full speed.
It was a pleasant surprise to find Aeiron here, Zick had no intention of letting such an opportunity go.
He landed right in front of Aeiron, but then he realized that he got no response back.
"Ah, he is unconscious...." Zick thought for a second before deciding to let Aeiron stay here for a second.
"Please make a barrier around this person, Miss Levienel." Zick requested with a smile.
An invisible barrier that was visible to Zick\'s demonic eye appeared around Aeiron.
Zick and Levienel started flying in the sky again. He searched for his target patiently.
This time he found one of his targets, Kerene. She lay on one of the corners of the alley and looked forward blankly.
\'If it went according to the novel, a family adopts her after nearly a year from now.\' Zick didn\'t go to her directly. He considered for a second, and a brilliant light flashed in his eyes.
