Dragon King's Harem Chapter 18. Doubt And Curiosity
Al turned to the large shelf beside him. His hands were busy looking for sothing there, his gaze sweeping on the shelf. Occasionally he picked up and cleaned a strange-looking bottle as his eyes examined it.
"Nope," he muttered. Then he put the bottle back in place and took another.
"Nope. Not this - Not this." His gaze moved from bottle to bottle in his hand. His hand kept moving, taking one bottle to another and examining it.
anwhile, an announcent appeared in front of .
[Warning! The freezing effect has started!]
[Your speed will decrease by 5% per 10 minutes.]
In an instant, my body felt heavier than before and so parts of my body started to stiffen.
'At least I have to make a contract with Blaze Draco right away.' Blaze Draco was a fire legendary beast that lived in the Vermillion mountain. The hottest volcano in the Draconis Empire's territory. But still, even though that beast had sworn to protect this land and devoted itself to the Royal Dragon's lineage, I had to follow the rules. We still had to fight before I could make a contract with him. In other words, I had to be able to prove that I deserved to be his master. With Draco Blaze, although my Ice resistance didn't increase, I could warm myself with his power.
"AHA!" Al grinned after getting a bottle that looked like a lava lamp with a faint reddish glow. He turned to face .
"Please back off, Your Majesty."
I retreated a few steps just like his request.
Then he threw that bottle on the floor.
- Prang!
The bottle shattered into pieces. A liquid that looked like hot lava leaked out of the bottle and slowly neutralized the surrounding ice, returning the room to its original state. anwhile, the broken bottle disappeared without a trace. That bottle was a magic bottle that would disappear once it was empty.
I frowned.
"What is that?" I asked. I didn't find any information in Argod's mory regarding this strange potion.
Al smiled proudly.
"I nad it Elental Changer Potion!" he said excitedly.
"I just managed to make two types, ice and fire. These can be used to increase elental magic damage," he explained. In Igixar, the environnt affected certain elental magic damage. For example, if I fought in the Volcano territory, my fire skill's attack damage would increase. But of course, the monsters that live in that area usually also had fire elents and had high fire resistance so it would be useless if I attacked them with my fire skills. But if I managed to get my enemy there especially if his mana elent was earth, I could win easily.
"Congratulations," I said in a relaxed tone.
Al's proud smile widened.
"You should reward by giving more Wugrea Cookies."
"Don't eat those cookies much. It's not good for your health," I warned. If in my original world soone could get diabetes from eating too much sweet food, in Igixar we could get bad allergic for a week because of it.
"Well, I don't mind with Ifiaricot Pie," he grinned innocently.
"That's worse." Ifiaricot Pie had a sweeter taste than honey.
And he pouted again.
I sighed.
"I will order them to add a bit more." I believed he already worked hard to finish my order.
His grin appeared.
"Your Majesty, you are the best!"
The white room was back to normal. A ssy workspace with strange equipnt everywhere. This ti I could see various colours of potions lining the shelves, elental crystals floating on the desk. Several large books that were still open and of course his favourite cauldron nad 'Oris'. Purple coloured liquid with strange bubbles in it, although there was no fire burning the liquid.
"Have you made my order?" I asked.
"Heh? What order?" he said with an innocent face.
I frowned in annoyance.
"The potions. Don't you rember? It's very important to ."
'Please don't say he forgot it,' I grumbled internally.
"Potions?" He paused for a mont as he tapped his index finger below his lips and deep in thought. As he rembered it, his index finger pointed at .
"Oh, I already made it. Let show you." I was so relieved after hearing that.
He walked to a cupboard and I followed him. His hands opened it, hundreds of potion bottles lined up in it.
"Here's your order."
I reached out my hand and took one of the potion bottles with the green liquid in it.
'Analyze!'
[Na: Special Stamina Potion]
[Type: Healing Item]
[Special potion made from Ocovil and Uletro Herbs that restores all your stamina. Warning! If consud more than 5 bottles per day, will reduce stamina permanently.]
[Maker: Alric Griga Bevier]
I grinned.
'Wow, this is better than I expected.' Normal stamina potions could only restore half of your stamina and could only be consud 1 bottle per day. Then I used my Analyze skill on other bottles.
'Analyze!'
[Na: Concentrated Health Potion]
[Type: Healing Item]
[Special potion made from Romirry and
Echarian Herbs that restores about 300 HP. ]
[Maker: Alric Griga Bevier]
[Na: Concentrated Mana Potion]
[Type: Healing Item]
[Special potion made from Geluger dan
Ishagon Herbs that restores about 300 Mana. ]
[Maker: Alric Griga Bevier]
'This is all good stuff.' Normal Health and Mana Potion only restored about 50 - 100 HP / Mana.
anwhile, Al's eyes were fixed on Argod, observing him. Although nothing had changed from Argod, Al realized Argod's power was weaker than usual. Besides that he also realized Argod lost his elental magic abilities, even including his fire skills since instead of using magic he used that strange weapon to free him from the ice.
'Your Majesty, what happened to you?' But he decided to save his questions since Argod just woke up.
"Thank you," I said. I stretched my hand to the cupboard.
'Take all items.' The potions glowed, a second later they disappeared as an announcent appeared before .
[Special Stamina Potion X50 have been added to your inventory.]
[Concentrated Health Potion X50 have been added to your inventory.]
[Concentrated Mana Potion X50 have been added to your inventory.]
"Do you want so more? I still have plenty of it in the other cupboard. I've also prepared Elental Concentration Potions for you," he offered.
"I'll take that later." Elental Concentration Potion was used to increase certain elental magic damage. Since I hadn't had any of it, it was useless for now.
Then I realized Al was looking at with a strange look. I frowned.
"Why are you looking at like that?" As I recalled, he had never looked at Argod like that before.
"Um ... Your Majesty, may I ask you sothing?" His doubts were clear from his voice.
"Sure." Well, even though he doubted , I was not afraid since I had all Argod's mories. I was sure I could answer whatever he asked. After all, he had Mark of Servant, he couldn't betray .
Al opened his mouth, questions filled his head but instead of asking about Argod's condition, he blurted out a stupid question.
"Ah ... Um ... How could you get so handso now?" he asked with an awkward smile.
My forehead creased.
"What ?!" I asked in shock. I wished I heard it wrong. What kind of question was that? And I knew he never said that Argod was handso before.
Al waved his hand in panic.
"Ahh ... I an you look better after you wake up," he added quickly. Actually, he wanted to ask what happened to Argod, but he knew doubting the king's power was a taboo. And maybe Argod didn't want to tell him because of sothing. Besides, Argod had to maintain his dignity and honour as a dragon king for the sake of Draconis and Igixar's stability.
Even though I felt a little strange with his words, I decided to let it slide.
"It's because my curse has disappeared."
Al's eyes widened as a smile appeared since this was good news.
"Real-"
- Krukk-- Krukk!
Al's stomach growled loudly before he could finish his sentence.
I sighed once again.
"I'll order soone to deliver your dinner." I could tell he had been frozen since morning before he had his breakfast. Since I noticed a cup of Moonshine tea and so Draconis breakfast dishes were untouched on his personal dining table.
He snapped his fingers and pointed his index finger at .
"Don't forget your promise to add my Wugrea Cookies."
"You have my words," I said.
