Chapter 82 – A smile of Sorrow [2]
Asterion – The Tycoon’s Merchants
Inside the alchemical room, Meris stood behind Viviette, who was in the process of crafting a common-rank health potion to demonstrate the technique to her.
She watched closely as the different ingredients were mixed together within the purple flames that Viviette controlled inside the alchemical cauldron. The process was seamless—smooth, practiced, almost poetic.
It was like watching something that was meant to be together finally reunite—only this time, to create something entirely new, a creation that carried within it the distinct properties of each individual component it was made from.
And at the end of the process, inside the cauldron, a soft green glow flowed beneath the surface. The scent it released was subtle... and strangely relaxing.
It was magical.
It was awe-inspiring.
Even Meris—who had initially chosen to learn this craft just to pass the time while waiting for Kaden—found herself completely enamored by the process.
"Master, this is incredible! Let me try, let me try!" Meris exclaimed, her eyes bright with excitement and joy. She smiled wildly, like a young maiden finally discovering something worth her full attention.
In that moment, there was no trace of the cold, emotionless Meris who had once been ready to kill an innocent girl for a man.
