Chapter 6: Knowledge is Power
"These are all the potions I've made recently. I'll leave them to you to distribute, brother," Sunan said.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Kyi exclaimed, giving Sunan a hearty pat on the shoulder. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he surveyed the row of potions. He paused, then asked, "What's the effect of this potion on high-ranking knights?"
"It's very limited," Sunan replied without hesitation. "It can probably only increase the physique of a high-ranking knight by one to two percent."
"Is that so?" Kyi's face fell slightly. It seemed a waste to use such a precious potion on himself.
After a moment of contemplation, he turned and called out, "Jorton!"
"Yes, sir!" A knight stepped forward, a look of eager anticipation on his face.
Kyi picked up a potion and tossed it to Jorton. "Drink it."
Without a moment's hesitation, Jorton uncorked the bottle and downed the crimson liquid in one gulp.
Almost instantly, his skin flushed red, veins bulging, his face contorted in a grimace of pain.
The agony was short-lived, however. Within two minutes, Jorton's body returned to normal, leaving him panting and drenched in sweat, yet his eyes shone with exhilaration.
"Incredible! I feel so much stronger, and my reflexes are quicker too!" Jorton exclaimed, flexing his arms and legs.
