Chapter 493
Ian smoothed out his contorted expression, and turning forward again, forced the words out. "It's nothing. Nothing at all."
He barely swallowed the sigh that threatened to escape. Magic, of all things.
It wasn't new for an item to have additional effects not listed in its description, but the coincidence was too much.
Then again, it said it contained dragon blood...
Ian inwardly vowed to get another vial from Archeas somehow the next time they met.
Lucia, as if sensing his inner turmoil, said with a gentle smile. "It's not minor at all, Diana. Any mage would be envious. To think the elixir had such an effect..."
Diana, who had been staring at the back of Ian's head with a puzzled expression, finally nodded. "Luck must have played a part. In the process of my body healing, the dragon's magic must have affected my pineal gland."
"Pineal gland?" Seren asked, tilting her head.
Diana turned to her and tapped her temple. "It's the vessel in our heads that holds the soul. I've heard that those born with special talents or who have undergone rigorous training have developed it in a much larger and more diverse way than ordinary people."
"Ah, that's surprising. I've always thought the soul was held in the heart."
"There's still debate on that part," said Lucia. "Even now, many scholars and mages are conducting research to find out exactly where the soul is contained. But it's a well-established fact that various extrasensory perceptions are closely related to the pineal gland."
As Seren nodded with an expression of awe, Lucia looked at Diana with newfound surprise. "I never thought I'd hear something like this from you, Diana."
