Chapter 543
"So that’s what it was? You’re quite resourceful, Ian." A smile finally spread across Thesaya’s face.
Ian, who had stopped in front of the throne, shrugged. "The Platinum Dragon said it itself, didn’t it? That this bottle would be useful."
"Right. An unbreakable glass bottle is a treasure in itself. This is perfect. We can easily make two bottles’ worth. It’s good if I have some for myself, too," said Thesaya, raising her dagger again.
As she looked up at the branch of the Tree of Life, veins twitched and rose around her eyes. "When I tell you, swap the bottle, Ian."
Thesaya, her voice laced with magic, drew the dagger’s blade across the center of the branch. The magic-infused blade cut sharply through the surface. A milky white liquid immediately oozed from between the parted bark, the sap trickling down.
"The spellcaster who taught me spells also asked for a bottle of the Tree of Life’s sap," Thesaya said, placing the uncorked bottle under the dripping sap.
Returning the dagger to its sheath, she added, "He said drinking this restores magic, but it’s hard to make, doesn’t keep well, and isn’t easy to come by. It seems even the pointy-ears don’t want to make money by injuring the Tree of Life. Ian, give it here."
Thesaya held out the now-full bottle to the side. Ian quickly took it and placed the empty bottle back in her hand, having already uncorked it.
As Thesaya placed the empty bottle under the dripping sap, Ian quickly sealed the bottle. Magic was radiating from the opening as if evaporating.
"In any case, you’re a mage too, Ian. I thought it would be helpful."
Ian only nodded, already pulling up the details in the information window.
The Essence of the Tree of Life was a unique-grade elixir. Using it would instantly recover a certain percentage of magic and cure several status effects, including magic exhaustion. Not only that, but it also had the effect of greatly increasing several resistances and magic recovery speed for its duration.
