Chapter 125: VOL 2 Chapter 70: Should I rescind the contract…?
Between curious and confused, Sofa looked with interest at the strange contraption Erik had given her. She tried to figure out what it was, what the little red beads it contained were, why it was soft and flexible, and more importantly, how it could heal her brother. But she quickly reacted and bowed respectfully, thanking him sincerely at the same time.
"Thank you very much for your mercy, My Lord."
"It's nothing, and don't call me 'My Lord'. I already have a pesky maid who made me get used to 'young master', and I don't want someone making it even worse. Call me 'Boss' instead." Erik remarked as he sent venomous looks at Seraphina, who smiled proudly and handed him a small plate of cookies, inevitably diverting his attention.
"All right, Boss. Thank you very much."
Sofía quickly nodded and replied respectfully, then went back to looking at the blister pack, wondering how to use the curious item her new Lor... Boss had given her. That made Erik laugh, and after eating a cookie, he explained.
"Hehe, just scratch the silver part with your nail, take out one of the capsules, and give it to your brother. Have him bite it before swallowing, so the effect kicks in immediately."
"Thank you very much, Boss."
After thanking him again with a bow, Sofía followed Erik's instructions and hurried over to her brother with a pill in her hand. He bit it, and both watched in surprise as his mangled leg began to heal right before their eyes at an impressive speed.
Meanwhile, Erik smiled proudly at the effectiveness of his pills, which weren't far from being ready to market, as all tests so far had been successful. Then he turned to look at his masters, deploying an invisible Myst barrier at the same time.
"So, what do you think of my new assistant?" Erik asked his masters with a small smile, which earned him a loving kiss on the cheek from Sigrún. She then commented with a mischievous smile on her lips.
"You mean candidate because first, she'll have to learn a lot about mana and alchemy or artificery."
