Chapter 107: Myst (4)
“Why are you looking so serious? I was only joking. There’s no way you can actually get your hands on a Dragon Heart, right?” Arkemis said with a dismissive wave.
The last recorded dragon sighting was more than ten years ago. People claimed it had built a lair somewhere in the mountains, but nobody knew the exact location.
“Still, there’s a chance,” Ketal replied.
“Well, theoretically, yes, but...,” Arkemis remarked.
“That’s all I need,” Ketal said with a grin. He felt disappointed that he couldn’t use Myst immediately, but that didn’t change the fact that he had obtained it. Over time, he could just keep increasing his Myst reserves.
At least I know a way, he thought. If something like a Dragon Heart existed, it could solve his problem.
A Dragon Heart, huh..., Ketal wondered. That very phrase quickened his pulse.
Noticing his intense expression, Arkemis grew uneasy. He did take that as a joke, right...?
“In any case, thank you again,” Ketal said earnestly. “I really appreciate all you’ve done, Arkemis.”
“No, no, I should be the one thanking you. This whole experience was incredible,” she replied.
Now that the alchemy was complete, the stress weighing on her lifted, and Arkemis staggered a little as if the exhaustion finally caught up with her.
“You look tired,” Ketal noted.
