Chapter 105: Cold Town
Vlad smiled as he saw hundreds of people drinking from the large cauldron filled with red liquid and pieces of meat. They couldn’t get enough of it, and their conditions constantly improved with every drink.
Among the survivors getting a feast were the man and his family he had rescued from the attic. They had regained their strength to move their bodies after they had woken up.
The liquid they were consuming was a potion called Demon Blood Elixir. It was made using the blood of hundreds of demonic beasts and a few Champion demons, and Vlad’s storage space was practically full of it.
For someone like Vlad, it worked as a refresher that satisfied his body’s thirst and nutrition, but it was nothing short of a divine elixir for Mortals. Its power was even stronger for those with weaker bodies. In people who had yet to reach Level 1, it would completely heal as long as they had a pulse.
The one who made this potion was none other than the small yellow cat on Vlad’s shoulder.
Jormungandr had seen the power of a profession such as Runemaster and sought one. Vlad had given him a comprehensive manual regarding professions through a memory tablet that the A.I. Chip had engraved, and eventually, he chose to become an Alchemist.
An Alchemist is a highly skilled craftsperson who combines the arts of potion-making and artifact creation. At the most basic level, anyone who mixes substances in a liquid form to create a desired effect or melts metal with magic to craft an artifact can be considered an alchemist. However, true alchemists are much more than that; they are masters of both Potionmastery and Artificing, blending these disciplines to achieve extraordinary results.
Alchemy required a fair amount of intelligence, as well as time and materials. It could also be a very expensive pursuit, requiring a gargantuan amount of theoretical research. Luckily for Jormungandr, he had the A.I. Chip, which could take care of all the analyzing and perform simulations, helping him save materials during experimentation.
After ensuring that all the people regained their vigor and health, Vlad led them to the most secure place in the town, a large underground parking lot, and gave them a few hundred kilograms of meat and a lot of Demon Blood Elixir.
If they rationed things properly, they could survive for at least half a year. Of course, Vlad would not just leave them here, but he could not bring them back to the base either, as he had other things to take care of.
Luckily, this is where the advantage of having an organization came in handy. Vlad had already communicated with Grand Marshal Anglius, and a group had been dispatched to this place. They would arrive in a month and bring these people back to the Silent Wind Military Base.
Vlad informed the Frost Town survivors of all this and gave them communicator gems so they could stay in contact with the Silent Wind Military Base. That way, they would not worry about whether or not the rescue forces would arrive, easing their minds and maintaining peace.
