"Why are you here?&8221; Dorian started in surprise After Yukeli had taken over, Dorian hadn’t caught a glihtlord had fled and Dorian assu
"Savior Dorian I never had a chance to give my thanks&8221; The elderly Vampire looked Dorian in the face and bowed stiffly, his eyes resolute
"I apologize if I insulted you by de you back at the casino&8221; He bowed a second ti of it I would do the same for anyone in your situation&8221; Dorian waved his hand at hi him a sht up in this in the first place He also felt slightly guilty for using Fate to win a bunch of the Vampire’s Pills
That said, he noticed that the odd Aeth Vaized for if Dorian felt insulted Which, honestly, should be rather obvious, in Dorian’s opinion Who wouldn’t feel insulted if they were being demeaned? He decided to drop it, however
"But why are you here? Surely you didn’t board this ship just to thank me?&8221; Dorian looked at the Aeth Vampire expectantly
Lord Ru returned his stare, his eyes steely
"I am not a man to leave a debt I owe unpaid I would like to offer my services to you to repay the karma we hold&8221; His voice was sure
"Services? Karround,to their rooe ship was quite open, but also uards, and sailors It was powered through ic, an enormous Artifact of soular ship would
"I a The Third Holy Duke of the hidden Elector Kingdom, Bullen Archel, proposed the theory of Karued that every action we take to affect the Fate of another being creates an intangible string in Fate that connects us to that being, drawing them towards us in Fate&8221; The Aeth Vampire nodded his head,
"His theory led to theincredible developic is now one of the ic His theory is one that also holds practical wisdo for you, if you wish to break that Kare nu about the front area Dorian motioned for Leader to leave the on the opposite side The Aeth Vampire followed in tow
"Sure, I can understand that&8221; Dorian could, in a way He knew that people like this existed, even back on earth Those that couldn’t accept owing so to someone else Especially someone they considered lesser
The Aeth Vampire wasn’t that bad a person, he was actually kind of nice But also kind of racist too Though, on the 30,000 Worlds, Dorian supposed racism was a bit more reasonable Still…
"But you didn’t need to come all the way here and follow ave the elderly Vahtlord infor, killed in his own base His subordinates surrounded hi treated and expected to recover in a few days&8221; The elderly vahtly askance
Dorian srieve for the death of ayou ave hi he said was perfectly reasonable
"Ah… before that…&8221; The Aeth Va to look Dorian up and down
"Weren’t you… a bit smaller when I last saw you?&8221; He stared at Dorian in confusion
‘Oh right’ Lord Ru had only seen hirown one
"I hit ht&8221; Dorian rowth spurt&8221; The elderly Vampire stared at hi such a poor reason, but he was stuck with it now He gave the Aeth Vampire what he hoped was an earnest look He still didn’t quite kno to express erew those spikes, and nearly three hands of height, in a single night&8221; He looked him up and down once e to shift uncoht&8221; Dorian held his hands out as if it was the only possible explanation
"Huh&8221; Lord Ru grunted
"Well, that seereat for bone growth and development&8221; The Vareeably As he spoke, he pulled out a flask of what, apparently, contained milk, and took a deep draw from it
‘I don’t even like milk…’ Dorian almost sputtered as the Vampire believed what he said He watched incredulously as the Vampire took a second hit of milk as if it were hard alcohol
‘Why do I only meet people with zero common sense?’ He scrubbed at his forehead
"Well, I don’t think I’ll need anything, but what services are you trying to offer?&8221; He et sidetracked
The Aeth Vampire seemed to draw into himself proudly,
"Unlike those common brutes, I am a student of the arts A master alchemist, if you will&8221; He smiled with pride as he continued,
"Those Lord Class Ironskin Pills you won off me were created by no other Alchemist thantechniques&8221; The Aeth Vampire boasted shamelessly
‘Oh, an Alchemist? That’s a rare profession!’ Dorian had neverfor one either
"If you have or want any type of Pill you need created, and have the ingredients prepared, I would be , to pay backhis head sharply
"Err&8221; Dorian gave hied There wasn’t really anything he quite nee-
His line of thought was cut off as he looked down at the Spatial Pouch he had on his waist, where a Fire-Aspected Golden Leaf rested One that, according to Bella, could be used to gain a closer understanding of the Law of Fire or be used as an ingredient in medicine to treat injuries to the soul
‘Medicine like that sounds like it could be vitally i as he began to plan He needed to be active, not reactionary anyht now, it was entirely possible helike this
He looked directly at the Aeth Vampire,
"What do you know about Pills that can treat injuries to the soul?&8221;
Several hundred e that connected to Paxital from the lands of the Borrel Autarchy, a different conversation was taking place
"Ah, we’re ale It’s been quite the journey, Mira&8221; A olden scales spoke aloud as he relaxed co halfway off the edge while his head rested on a large pillow His eyes slowly scanned the environlea various goods and itee aoods couldn’t be stored in Spatial Rings, or were moved in such quantity that it wasn’t econos
Spatial Rings, and other variations, were all quite expensive For anyone that wasn’t a powerful Wizard or warrior, they were ain a wagon in this caravan, one that was mostly full of several antique wooden dressers and other old objects
"It’s a relief to finally have reached Paxital, Aiden&8221; A beautiful wo brown hair wrapped up in a braid Her face and body were dotted with jade-colored scales She sat in a olden-scaledthe 30,000 Worlds is quite so from the Borrel Autarchy Quite the lucky break for us&8221; Aiden nodded casually and continued,
