章 12: Nurturing the target to get stronger! Finding treasures
Chapter 12
After taking his routine lessons, he was once again free, the cat had wandered off to somewhere so Oliver did not care much.
"Now then…" Stretching his arms, he looked at the sky with a thoughtful gaze.
"I should probably help Nadia achieve a milestone."
Indeed, after much contemplation, he had arrived at the conclusion that the faster he would help her grow her strength, the stronger he would become as well.
So instead of lazing around in the courtyard all day which was a bad habit, he decided to do what he could at the moment.
Although, his scope of operations was limited to the Mystic Purge Clan, there were still some things hidden here and there in the clan which he could potentially obtain.
In the original novel, those items were usually obtained by some minor characters, so he thought that he might as well give them to Nadia to increase her power.
Anyways, they were just some booster items he could spend on her for growth.
He had decided that rather than just sitting idly, he would help the main characters grow so he can obtain more benefits.
"If I know from the novel correctly, near the oak tree at the western area of the clan, there should be a huge rock, and 29 steps away from it just beneath the ground should be something that could greatly benefit Nadia."
He quickly finished his business and went out towards the western part of the clan.
The clan was a huge place, it was not an exaggeration to claim that their clan was no smaller than a city itself, just that it was secluded and not many people knew the exact location of this place.
The clan had everything one could need, it was a self-functioning city in itself.
The town was divided into regions; east, west, north, south and central parts.
From tall and traditional styled houses to shops selling weapons and food, everything was properly arranged in the town.
The central area was the place where his father, mother and rest of the siblings lived, along with them, the important elders or the important individuals also resided there.
His house was located in the east, just a little away from the central area, this was also probably why that most people were unaware of his existence.
He sighed, the world was really cruel but his family was even more, he was mature by mind so he did not care but had it been a real child… to be isolated like that from their family, it would have severely affected their psyche.
Anyways, his goal for the day was the western area of the clan.
He quietly left his courtyard and after an hour of travelling, he directly reached the specified spot.
He received a few strange gazes on his way, probably due to his symbolic white hair but he ignored them naturally.
Pat Pat
"It should be around here."
He kicked the ground with his feet and measured exact 29 steps from the rock near the Oak tree, it was an unimpressive spot that no one really cared about.
To think, there would be a treasure item hidden just beneath this place.
He shook his head and retrieved a shovel he had brought along him and started digging into the spot.
It did not take him long before he felt some resistance.
Clang!
"That's it!"
He threw the shovel away and used his hands to clean the dirt and soil away from the metallic box.
It was a small and ordinary looking gray metal box, however, the box gave off an ancient vibe upon looking.
"Body strengthening elixir… this is great stuff."
His eyes shone as he inspected the contents of the metal box.
Elixirs were potions that upon being consumed provided the person with a permanent advantage in their aspects.
Elixirs were a rarity and countless alchemists worked daily to produce one. Yet, it was not an easy feat to be achieved.
Only master alchemists with a fine control over espera and excellent dexterity could dare to produce them.
And each Elixir once produced was sold at sky-high prices in the market. The art of potion-crafting was ancient and was strictly regulated by the clans.
Even in his clan that had multiple strong Alchemists, an elixir was still a rare item to be obtained and people would send endlessly to get their hands on one.
The advantage was too great after all, who would dare to reject a permanent boost in their abilities, if someone was lucky enough, they might even awaken new powers through consumption.
In a world of demons and wars, for a hunter, such a things was priceless.
Alchemists were highly respected for this reason alone, they were known for their ability to produce miracles.
This potion in his hands was also probably the work of some ancient alchemist of the clan who might have hidden it for some purpose or just leave it as an inheritance for their future generation.
Unfortunately, their family either did not continue or this precious item was lost by them. Whatever it was, now it belonged to him.
"No it belongs to Nadia."
He laughed and went back with the box, it had been some time since he last met her and he was quite curious how she will react after seeing him.
'She should not attack me like last time probably, I made sure to leave a positive impression on her last time after all.'
With that thought, he went back to his courtyard first and stored the metal box somewhere.
The elixir was inside a long glass tube and was radiating a shiny and sparkly bluish color. It was quite beautiful to look at, one of the features of an elixir.
He carefully stored the elixir in the pocket of Yukata.
That's right, the culture that his clan followed seemed to be closely tied with the Japanese culture in his previous world…
Although now that the world had become plagued with wars and demons, the concept of countries and boundaries was now vague and everything where humans lived was considered a human territory that was under the rule of one of the 5 clans.
