Chapter 35: Why Not Two Masters?
Risir’s request for help in consuming an elixir was abrupt.
Despite his incredulity, Meltas felt considerably excited.
“Risir. Do you know the value of this elixir?”
“I believe it’s comparable to a large manor in a major city, roughly speaking.”
“Must you always convert everything to material value?”
“Not necessarily, but isn’t this easier to understand?”
“...In any case, you knew the value of this elixir and still asked me for help.”
“Ah, have I perhaps committed a discourtesy?”
“Discourtesy? Quite the opposite.”
Consuming an elixir was a matter of utmost importance for a mage. It was no exaggeration to say that one’s entire life hung in the balance. The monetary value of the item alone was enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.
And the effects gained from consuming such an elixir were equally life-changing. It could elevate a mage to a level that would normally take years to reach, or even open entirely new paths.
