Bab 230: "Must Have," "This is Non-Negotiable," "Might as Well Die"

In Rita's mind, the image of Scarlett's [Law of the Jungle] immediately flashed by.

Mistblade explained, "Many curses and skills can be transmitted through bloodline chains. As long as you find the family members of your enemy, you can harm them as a way of hurting your true target."

Rita looked down at [Spring Not Late], reading its description. Like [Heart of the Undying], it was an advanced alchemical creation. Both the gemstone and potion had instructions similar to what Mistblade described, and the bloodline chain's severance had a deadline of only 100 natural days.

Before Rita could process this information fully, Mistblade added, "And don't even think about buying this gemstone elsewhere. I developed it myself. No one else in Lania Kaia can make it, and I absolutely, absolutely won't put anything I create up for auction to make money!"

For some reason, Rita felt like there was a hint of gritted teeth in Mistblade's last words.
