Chapter 945: Phantom!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Back in the manor, rlin inspected the Hermani formula that Heroult gave him.
There were more than two hundred types of materials. rlin examined each one carefully. Indeed, they were materials for the Hermani Nourishnt Pond formula. rlin, who had brewed the Nourishnt Pond himself before would not be mistaken.
These materials were all very costly. rlin had even expressly made inquiries at so shops in the Holy Dragon City. Even if they emptied out their stock, they could put together a few batches at most. However, Heroult could hand over no less than ten batches.
This ant that Heroult had his own special channels since he was able to constantly obtain materials for the Nourishnt Pond instead of having to purchase them from shops.
“I must gain control of these channels too.”
rlin secretly made this decision. Heroult was a mysterious figure who controlled channels that ordinary people, or even people with powerful almighty beast bloodlines, could not access. He was certainly soone extraordinary.
While Heroult urgently needed to study him, rlin had to seize the chance to slowly uncover the secrets behind Heroult. Most importantly, he had to gain control over these channels of Nourishnt Pond formula materials. These were rlin’s objectives.
After receiving one batch of materials for the Hermani Nourishnt Pond formula, rlin did not concoct the Nourishnt Pond right away because it would not serve many purposes in doing so.
rlin was currently a third-form shifter but his potential was limited. The Two-headed Pterolycus would be switched for sothing else soon enough. Thus, using these materials would be a total waste.
Nonetheless, rlin could not change his almighty beast’s will to the Blood-eye Dragon for now. After all, at that point, Heroult was still going to study him for two more months, so the fewer the people who knew about the Blood-eye Dragon, the better.
Therefore, rlin had already made a plan. After the two months were up, he would change his almighty beast’s will to the Blood-eye Dragon when he had received both the ten batches of Hermani Nourishnt Pond materials, as well as Heroult’s Nourishnt Pond formula and materials.
With twenty full batches of Nourishnt Pond materials, rlin could rapidly increase the level of his shapeshifting even if he allowed the Blood-eye Dragon to parasitize him from scratch.
In the following month or so, rlin’s life was routine. He would wake up at first light and head to Heroult’s castle and only co back in the evening. There were no exceptions.
However, so bad news was received during this period. So important cities of the Holy Dragon Empire were subjugated and were completely taken over by ard rebellions.
Currently, only the Holy Dragon City was directly under the royal family’s control within the Holy Dragon Empire. It seed that the sun was setting over this empire. It was at its last gasp. At any ti, when the Holy Dragon City had descended into chaos as well, the royal family’s rule over the Holy Dragon Empire would be thoroughly terminated.
Nonetheless, all this had nothing to do with rlin. He took care of the manor in an organized manner. Everything was calm. Even so, rlin thought of finding out Heroult’s true identity but had no clues. Heroult’s identity was like a riddle.
Still, Heroult was able to hand over the materials for the Hermani Nourishnt Pond formula each ti. By now, rlin had obtained all ten batches of the materials.
In the following twenty days or so, Heroult began to give to rlin his Nourishnt Pond formula along with ten batches of materials.
Today, as soon as rlin entered Brews Castle, he felt that sothing was wrong.
This was because another stranger was in the castle. This was a lovely young woman with a full figure. Nevertheless, this young lady wore a grave expression and discussed sothing with Heroult in low tones.
After seeing rlin co in, the young woman stopped talking and cast a blazing gaze as she sized up rlin.
Heroult’s expression was rather awkward. After he saw rlin, he said quietly, “Leon, I’m afraid I’ll have to go out for so ti.”
“If you’re going out for so ti, what about your Nourishnt Pond formula and materials that I need?”
rlin was sowhat surprised. However, he saw that this young woman seed close to Heroult who also understood Heroult’s research of Hosts very well. Therefore, rlin had no apprehensions about directly expressing his concerns.
Heroult was silent for a mont before he said, “In truth, after a month or so of research, I’ve completely grasped the various data variations regarding a Host’s third-form shifting. What I lack is the aspect of the almighty beast’s will. However, the almighty beast’s will is difficult to grasp. Only the Host himself can feel it, and others can’t clearly grasp it at all. Therefore, this will require a long ti of steady research. It’s not sothing that can be completed in one day.”
“Naturally, I’ll live up to my initial promise. Today, I’ll give you the detailed formulation for the Ofu Nourishnt Pond, along with ten batches of materials. Consider our agreent fulfilled.”
Heroult’s decision caused rlin to beco sowhat flabbergasted. Although Heroult spoke casually, rlin could detect a trace of solemnity from his voice.
rlin did not know what Heroult had encountered, that he would directly end his agreent with rlin.
“Curator Heroult, what happened? If I’m needed, I’ll surely help as best as I can!”
rlin knew that sothing must have happened to Heroult, sothing very urgent. Otherwise, Heroult would not have hurriedly ended his agreent with rlin.
“You can’t help for now...”
Curator Heroult’s voice was quite despondent. After a pause, he continued, “Leon, I know that you’ve been investigating my identity secretly, as well as my secrets. In fact, if you have more ti, you’ll discover certain clues and deduce my identity from them. However, I’ll offer you an opportunity. It’s true that I’m backed by a massive organization. If you’re willing to join us, you’ll easily get all the Nourishnt Pond formulas you need within this organization. All you need is a certain amount of contribution points.”
“A massive organization?”
rlin fell into deep thought. Previously, he had guessed that Heroult was surely supported by a huge organization. Otherwise, obtaining Nourishnt Pond materials would not be so easy.
rlin also wished to access this channel. If he did not after he left Brews Castle and lost contact with Heroult, would he not be cut off from his stable access of Nourishnt Pond materials?
Therefore, rlin felt a rush of excitent at Heroult’s suggestion but he was still cautious as he asked softly, “What organization is this?”
If Heroult belonged to an external organization that had infiltrated the Holy Dragon City, rlin would have to think twice before joining.
As if he sensed rlin’s misgivings, Heroult laughed as he said, “Phantom! You must not have heard of it. Don’t worry, Phantom is not an enemy faction to the Holy Dragon Empire. Conversely, Phantom is an intelligence agency that the royal family relies greatly upon; tasked with finding out all news within the Holy Dragon Empire.”
“Phantom?”
rlin was rather astonished. He did not think that Heroult’s identity would be a conductor within the royal family’s intelligence agency, which was an impressive status. The Nourishnt Pond materials he had given rlin were all obtained through Phantom.
