It took couple of hours from Alia to return, and when she did, she handled all she gathered of ores to Arthur while saying:
"The other mountains are similar to here, with nothing special about them."
Arthur nodded to her, while she went to have so deserved rest, he started to examine the content of the storage ring she had. There were two kinds of ores there, ones of earth nature, with dark brown in color, while the others were icy white ores, very pure that you could see what lies behind them.
'As expected, these ores aren't of much use to ,' he muttered, as he couldn't find any way to use them except for making elixirs. The amount Alia gathered during her trip was enough, but he decided to send more to gather icy ores.
"Lily, I want you to go with so of extra mages here to the icy mountain," he went to Lily, as he assigned this mission to her, "and take Alia with you, she knew the way there," he added, while pointing towards the nearby resting Alia, who just smiled, helplessly.
"What do you want us to do there?" Lily asked, as she was slightly excited about this assignnt. She had no role to play here, like many other mages who just ca to find the fight was easy to handle.
"Gather these ores for ," he said as he took out one icy ore. The mont he took it out, the eyes of Lily shone brightly, as she happily said:
"Oh, such a beautiful ore indeed, can we make ornants out of it?"
"Sure, I can help you later with that," he smiled as her childish nature made him giggle.
"Good, great, I will bring down that mountain then!" her desires were ignited by this, as her eyes shone brightly with desire and determination. Arthur felt bad for a mont for that poor mountain, it seed Lily intended to blow it off completely to gain her ornants!
The next days things went by smoothly with nothing to ntion, as the fight on this mountain kept raging in the sa rhythm, while Lily's group ca back more than once, delivering a huge pile of ores stored inside the storage ring she took from Arthur.
Arthur felt surprised as the whole ring was completely crowded with icy ores, which made him wonder of the way Lily and her mages used to get them.
She ca back to gather at, replace her storage ring, and get more explosive ores. It was apparent she used fire to break down ice, a good way indeed.
It was sad they couldn't do the sa here, use ice to break fire. Arthur decided to wrap things here on the fifth day, but he had two remaining missions before doing so.
The two were related to his treasure, as he promised two monsters to get their share of it. he looked at this calmly resting rock and sighed, he just hoped there would be enough for everyone.
He didn't plan to lose this treasure, as many of his plans were already depending on it. a ans to control monsters wasn't easy to find, or to lose.
He decided to start with his scorpion, so he unsummoned Don before summoning the scorpion. The mont the scorpion appeared, her eyes looked with gracefulness towards the rock, not giving Arthur any heed.
"Now, let's set things straight, you will eat a small piece of that rock, go to slumber and evolve," he said, before the scorpion moved, towards the rock, ignoring his words.
Arthur just shook his head, before he unsummoned her, waited for a couple of minutes, then summoned her back.
The scorpion looked towards him in vigilance, and Arthur wasn't fazed at all as he repeated what he just said:
"You will have to eat a small piece of it, do you understand?"
The scorpion didn't show any signs of agreeing, so he added in threatening tone:
"If you don't agree now, I will return you to your sleeping place, and our previous deal will be off."
His words managed to shook her, as she slowly nodded her head and tail, expressing her agreent. He then took out an icy ore, went to the treasure, where he used the long ore, resembling a long stick, to mark an imaginary line over the heavenly treasure while saying:
"This will be your part, if you trespass it, I will make sure to kill you while you evolve!"
Again he threatened her, and she had nothing else to do about it. she knew her weakest monts ca when she was evolving. She didn't have a death feud with Arthur to instigate his wrath to such extent, and so she, unwillingly, complied, chewed the small piece he designed for her.
"take these with you as well, they would help you evolve, and this also would greatly help you."
He said as he waved his hand, and the whole space was filled with icy ores. The strength in these ores was small, much smaller than what was present in the heavenly treasure, but their amount was huge, at least they would help her evolve.
She started eating them without pause, and the more she ate, the more Arthur took out from his ring, until he felt satisfied. When she ended cleaning the place, she found five icy potions waiting for her. She glanced at these five bottles with clear fluid and a faint brightness coming from within them, before she looked towards Arthur.
"They would help you, just eat them."
She didn't hesitate and absorbed the five bottles, before her body had a sudden surge of icy natured energy. Her body started to grow weak, as her evolution was already starting.
"Sleep well and I hope next ti we et you will be much stronger," he sincerely hoped for her good wishes, while sending her back to sleep inside her tattoo at his wrist.
The mont she entered there, he felt a slight sting in his wrist, which pained him for a few minutes, before vanishing as if it didn't appear.
He looked at this tattoo with so strangeness in his eyes, as this was a good sign indeed. that scorpion seed to gain a good fortune here, and he just hoped for her to grow far beyond his imagination.
Her strength was also his, and she was very important for the future competition at the academy.
"I never thought you would be this kind to us," a middle aged man's voice erupted in his ears, startling him for a mont, before he realized the owner of this voice.
