Legacy of the Dark Sage

Chapter 1122: Return (2)

Kyran did not know that Yazu had an excellent impression of him just from teaching him a new recipe for a healing potion and pill. If he knew, he would have told him that the new recipe was not new per se but something he learned from the Tower of Tribulations. He only altered some ingredients with the ones they got from the beast carcasses to increase their efficacy rate.

Luckily, the medicinal herbs needed for the recipe were primarily available in the alchemy room and were of excellent quality. If not, Kyran would not have used that recipe and would have opted to improve the quality of the ones concocted using Yuza's recipe.

Kyran successfully concocted nine saint-grade pills. Anyone with severe to critical injuries would recover after taking three of those pills.

Yuza did not want to waste such pills because he believed Kyran would not be able to concoct another set of nine saint-grade pills. Thus, he suggested diluting them into potions and having those with minor to moderate injuries drink them so they would recover immediately.

"That works too," Kyran agreed, but then said, "But using them for those with severe and critical injuries works better to make sure they would not suffer any backlash for being in pain for a long time."

"T-That's true, too... but... such high-quality pills don't come by easily. We have to use them efficiently," Yuza said. However, it was obvious from his expression that he would rather use them as Kyran suggested because he also did not want those with severe injuries to endure for a long time. Still, he knew they had to decide based on a long-term benefit rather than an immediate one.

If the number of injured recovered quickly, they could assist with the construction or exploration as soon as possible.

"I get what you mean, but the priority at the moment is to reduce unnecessary casualties. We have to deal with those suffering from severe to critical injuries first. As for those with minor to moderate injuries, I'll make a healing potion using what remaining ingredients we have that will not pale in comparison if we diluted the pills."

If Kyran's answer were heard from another perspective, it would not sound off. However, one would notice that a different point from Yuza's influenced his answer.

While Yuza's remark was influenced by his understanding that Kyran could only concoct saint-grade pills by chance, Kyran's answer was influenced by his understanding that Yuza was worried about wasting all those rare ingredients without healing everyone.

Yuza seemed to have noticed something was off by Kyran's answer, but before he could clarify any of his doubts, the latter had already started working on concocting healing potions.

"I'll make more of those pills after finishing this," Kyran continued without even noticing a change in Yuza's expression. "If you want, you can also try concocting it to understand its process better."

"I... Y-Yes... I'll follow your lead."

Resigning himself to the somewhat confusing situation, Yuza agreed without further question.

After three hours, Kyran successfully concocted high-grade healing potions that could easily supply the injured for two days.

Only after seeing this did Yuza finally realize what he found the disconnect in his remark to Kyran's answer from before. Luckily, he did not voice his doubts because he would have definitely sounded odd to Kyran.

"You... I heard you are far more proficient in Array from our Array Saints, but... for you to have such high proficiency in Alchemy as well... who are you?"

"I'll introduce myself properly when the time comes," Kyran replied, not even trying to evade Yuza's question. This also proved how much he liked the latter.

"You mean when they announce you as the new head of the clan?" Yuza asked with raised brows.

"Leave the injured out of the construction and have them focus on supporting the exploration side."

Uilleam looked at Kyran with raised brows, "Is there any particular reason you want them to focus on the exploration?"

"I think it is better for them to train their motor skills after being bedridden for a week or more by scouting the surrounding region rather than helping in the construction."

Kyran did not elaborate on his answer, but Uilleam understood what he did not say and nodded, "I see. They can also strengthen their foundation by joining the exploration group."

"Yes."

"Alright. I'll arrange everything as you suggested," Uilleam replied, writing something on his tablet. After that, he continued with his report: "On another note, we have noticed a transport ship landing near the marshland region."

"Seems like they have finally arrived," Kyran replied, seemingly unfazed at the report.

Uilleam nodded. He was similarly aware of the group Kyran had been waiting for for some time.

"We have yet to confirm their identity, but the signal from the transport ship resembles the one they once used when they visited the Blade Dancer Plane."

"They did tell me they had arrived near the plane's periphery the other day. They might have some issues entering without being detected. That's why it took them some time before they could land."

Uilleam looked at Kyran with a slight frown, "Are you not worried that someone might have hijacked their ship before landing?"

"I don't think anyone would be brave enough to dare hijack a ship with an Overlord onboard."

Uilleam's eyes almost popped out of their sockets, "Wait. You mean he came with her?"

Kyran raised his brows, amused at Uilleam's shocked expression, "Did you think I've only been negotiating with her?"

"T-That's..." Uilleam did think that. But hearing Kyran point that out made him realize how simple his thinking had been.

"It's fine. Tell Geir and the others to make proper preparations to receive them."

"I understand."

"And another thing. Keep an eye out for another transport ship. I had someone rescue and gather the remaining Blade Dancer Clan members and transport them here safely."
