Chapter 943: eting Heroult Again

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An old man with grizzled hair opened the door. When he saw rlin, a puzzled look crossed his face as he asked softly, “Who are you looking for?”

“May I ask if Heroult stays here? I’m Mr. Heroult’s friend. My na is Leon. I believe Mr. Heroult knows .”

rlin declared his identity. This unfamiliar old man sized rlin up and then said, “Please hold on a mont. I’ll ask for Sir Heroult.”

It looked like this Heroult had quite a status. After all, though this castle was relatively old, it was naturally quite impressive to own such a massive castle in the Holy Dragon City where land prices were steep.

After a mont, a booming laugh ca from within the castle. “Haha, is that Master Leon? You’ve actually co to the Holy Dragon City.”

The doors opened. Heroult had changed into aristocratic apparel, exuding a noble, graceful temperant. This was not sothing most aristocrats could pull off. Even Count Stanwin did not have such a presence because this required an aristocratic clan with centuries of consolidation.

Heroult was always mysterious. Back in Boulder City, he had only opened the Fossil Museum, which was really strange. He had ticulous plans and was not just so aristocratic wastrel.

“Curator Heroult, we et again!”

Although many thoughts flashed across rlin’s mind, he still remained outwardly calm.

“Master Leon, let’s go in and talk.”

Heroult invited rlin into the living room, then examined rlin all over. There was a strange glint in his eyes as he said quietly, “Not long ago, I had gotten word that Marshal Kerry was defeated by the Blackbat Militia and the barbarian tribe, and Boulder City had fallen to the Blackbat Militia. I was even worried about you, Master Leon but didn’t expect that you had already arrived at the Holy Dragon City. I wonder, what is the purpose of you paying a visit?”

Heroult was vaguely expectant, even impatient. He had been waiting for rlin’s news. After all, rlin was a rare Host, one whose parasitism Heroult had carried out successfully. Although Heroult had obtained his data already, as soone who studied Hosts, this data was far from enough.

rlin contemplated silently, then suddenly stood up. Since he wanted to obtain the formula and resources for the Nourishnt Pond from Heroult, Heroult would discover that he had beco a third-form shifter sooner or later. rlin might as well tell Heroult first. He could even tempt Heroult more.

After all, a Host who was a first-form shifter could not be placed on par with a third-form shifter no matter what. Many people had succeeded in parasitism in the beginning, but as the shifter grew stronger, the almighty beast’s will grew more powerful too. Ultimately, when they reached the second or third-form, they died from the repercussion of the almighty beast’s will.

However, rlin was now standing there within the hall in a healthy condition. Just this aspect alone was enough to fascinate Heroult.

“Swish.”

rlin rapidly shapeshifted. The aristocratic clothes he wore were torn apart as his fra enlarged swiftly. At last, he was no less than two ters tall. Furthermore, other than his upper body and his head, all parts of him were covered in a thick layer of black fur. His body had turned into a gigantic wolf.

“Third-form shifter?”

Heroult appeared astounded and almost shouted himself hoarse. It had only been a few months since he left Boulder City. Plus, rlin was a Host who could be in danger at any ti, yet he had beco a third-form shifter. This was a terrifying pace of progress.

“That’s right, a third-form shifter!”

rlin slowly resud his original appearance, only his upper half was naked, which was sowhat awkward. Heroult waved one hand and commanded soone to bring rlin a set of clothes.

After a long while, Heroult slowly spoke, “You’ve obtained the Nourishnt Pond formula?”

Hosts could only rely on Nourishnt Ponds to improve their strength. Therefore, Heroult imdiately caught onto the key point, which was that rlin had obtained the Nourishnt Pond formula.

“That’s right, Curator Heroult. Don’t forget that my father is a formidable peak fourth-form shifter! Although it wasn’t easy to obtain this Nourishnt Pond formula, it wasn’t too difficult either.”

Heroult nodded. Even though he had faith in his own abilities, he was still apprehensive towards rlin’s father Count Stanwin. The Deinosuchus bloodline was a mid-tier bloodline. To be able to cultivate this to the peak of the fourth-form shifter, one could be considered a contender at any place.

“Since you already have the Nourishnt Pond formula, why have you co here today?”

Heroult initially thought that rlin had co for the Nourishnt Pond formula. After all, a Host would find it hard to advance without the Nourishnt Pond. However, Heroult was sowhat at a loss now.

rlin did not conceal his intentions and replied directly, “Who would complain about too many Nourishnt Pond formulas? Moreover, the Nourishnt Pond formula I have will eventually beco ineffective. At that point, Mr. Heroult’s Nourishnt Pond formula would be extrely valuable. Plus, the materials of the Nourishnt Pond formula aren’t sothing everyone can afford.”

Heroult was montarily taken aback before he burst into loud laughter.

“Haha, not bad, not bad. Who would complain about too many Nourishnt Pond formulas? Furthermore, the Holy Dragon Empire is in chaos everywhere now. So of the traders’ supplies are affected too. Thus, so materials of the Nourishnt Pond formula are extrely costly. In addition, Master Leon, you should know by now that for a Host to increase their strength, the required materials for the Nourishnt Pond alone are not sothing most aristocrats can afford by far.”

Heroult already understood rlin’s intentions. In fact, he had co for the Nourishnt Pond formula indeed. More importantly, however, was that rlin had no way of obtaining more of those expensive materials for the Nourishnt Pond formula.

Heroult knew full well of the material’s costliness. Fortunately, he had special ans and the problem of the materials was resolved long ago. He had his own reasons for devoting himself to researching Hosts.

Although Heroult was secretive and mysterious, rlin could generally sense that Heroult was a contender with an almighty beast bloodline. His capabilities were probably not inferior to Count Stanwin, and he must have beco a fourth-form shifter already.

However, this was seemingly Heroult’s limit. It was nearly impossible for him to progress further with his almighty beast bloodline and break through this point. The peak of fourth-form shifting was his limit.

Therefore, Heroult might only have hope through the parasitism of an almighty beast’s will. Nonetheless, being a Host was too dangerous, so Heroult wanted to study other Hosts thoroughly. He set a solid foundation for when he would use the parasitism of an almighty beast’s will to break through to a full-shifting form.

Both of their needs were not in conflict.

“Master Leon, I can give you the Nourishnt Pond formula, and I can even prepare the relevant materials for you, provided that you stay here under my study at each and every mont, so that I may record the data of a Host. All that you require shall be fulfilled!”

Now Heroult wished to know, how was rlin still able to withstand the repercussion of the almighty beast’s will despite becoming a third-form shifter.

rlin was actually rather shocked. Heroult was talking big indeed. These materials were not that simple; they were very expensive and supplies were limited. Heroult actually promised this right away. If this was real, this ant that Heroult was supported by a massive organization.

Still, this suited rlin’s plans just fine.

“Only for a month. You can’t possibly study forever. One month and you’ll prepare ten batches of the materials I need. Moreover, you must hand over your Nourishnt Pond formula and prepare ten batches of materials for that as well. How’s that?”

These were rlin’s conditions.

“So, twenty batches of materials in total. That’s not a problem, but one month is too short. Three months at least!”

At this point, Heroult and rlin started to haggle, finally settling on two months.

Within those two months, rlin would allow Heroult to study him as he wished with no conditions except that rlin was not hard.

On the other hand, Heroult had to hand over a batch of materials after a period of ti, until all twenty batches had been delivered in full.
