Chapter 1031
Eivass’s Mother
Lily’s “knife skills” were more prodigious than Eivass had expected.
These Children of the Moon hadn’t even realized they were dead before they were scattered across the ground and sealed by shadow power.
Their bones and organs had already burned and turned into ashes, leaving only pure chunks of flesh. If Eivass looked with his right eye, he could see them cleverly wrapped in a layer of shadow power. This shadow power didn’t come entirely from adaptation… a portion of it also came from love.
—Lily had spontaneously awakened a part of the Beast Path’s power, which was something Eivass hadn’t anticipated.
Because when Selene was born, she had already severed all of Lily’s Path of Love power. Even Lily’s Witch profession had been taken by her and evolved into Moon Witch.
And now, Lily had regained new power!
This outcome excited Eivass greatly.
It meant that even after self-severing, it wasn’t a complete loss of talent in that regard. Perhaps it was because the composition of the “Lunar Ovum Secret” was different that Lily, after cleanly severing the Path of Love, had gradually generated a new “Beast Heart” that belonged only to herself.
But regardless, Eivass clearly knew one thing—even a self that had been severed did not mean eternal separation. And even if there was originally no adaptation for a Path, new power could still be born from the Void.
“……However,” Arsen looked at Eivass, “I recall that only Children of the Moon of Fourth Tier and above have this ‘medicinal’ efficacy, right?”
“—Wh-what?”
Hearing this, Mia gasped in shock: “Children of the Moon?!”
Was that “ingredient” actually from a Child of the Moon?!
…Aren’t Children of the Moon also people? Would they have to kill each other?!
But…
Even Mia herself, having just heard about the efficacy and value of the Children of the Moon, couldn’t help but swallow.
Eternal youth, erasing wrinkles… even if anyone else heard these words, they would undoubtedly lose control.
She wasn’t like Zula who yearned to become a Child of the Moon. Mia always felt there couldn’t be such a good thing in the world—if there were so many benefits just from being bitten, could such a simple matter fall into my lap?
Therefore, Mia believed there must be a trick to it, and thus she had no admiration or respect for the Children of the Moon, but rather a sense of caution. Like seeing a group of unscrupulous merchants selling fake wine.
And now, she finally understood.
—So, to maintain eternal youth, you don’t necessarily have to be bitten by a Child of the Moon.
Biting a Child of the Moon was also an option!
That feeling could be introduced to Zula—instead of becoming a Child of the Moon, we can eat Children of the Moon, it’s the same…
“It’s only useful for Fourth Tier and above… so the most useful are those three portions beside you, not the nine.”
Eivass replied: “There are only three Fourth Tier ones… what a pity, it’s probably only enough for nine bottles of medicine.
“You can give it to your school’s Alchemy teacher; after explaining it clearly, he will understand. As for the rest, you can mix them with werewolf blood. The smaller portions should be mixed with male werewolf blood, and the larger portions with female… This stuff is an aphrodisiac and an erectile dysfunction drug, very effective. Because it contains the power of the Path of Love and the Beast Path.”
His latter half was directed at Mia.
—Naturally, the Children of the Moon had already infiltrated the school. Mia undertaking this task would expose her to the gaze of those Children of the Moon. But this would actually be a good thing for Mia… It would make them consider more before acting against her. Because they wouldn’t know Eivass’s true relationship with her, they would become more cautious, which would also serve as her protection.
” I’ll keep it in mind!”
Mia replied repeatedly: “When will you need it?”
“Leave three portions of the ointment for me, you can take the rest. If you have nothing to do in the next couple of days, help me queue up—remember to find the Potion Master; money is not an issue.”
Eivass said smilingly: “Remember not to open it. As long as you don’t take it out to look at it every day, nothing will happen to it. I’ve mixed them just right… even if you shake it vigorously, it’s unlikely to fuse into any new monsters.”
He handed the ice box to the curious Mia, and Eivass left the girls’ dormitory with Arsen. Lily flowed back into Eivass’s shadow.
The girls’ dormitory late at night was not as lively as it was at noon. Perhaps it was also because tomorrow was Monday.
Except for the occasional gasps of “one more game” heard from a few rooms, and some rooms being completely empty… the other children were relatively normal.
The old nun who had been guarding the entrance was gone, replaced by two dashing men in military uniforms.
Seeing this, Eivass narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Excuse me…”
Knowing what Eivass wanted to ask, Arsen stepped forward: “Are you, sirs, waiting for someone here…?”
“That’s right.”
One of them turned back, sizing up Arsen.
He said in a deep voice, “We’re waiting for you, sir. Would you be willing to accompany us now?”
Undoubtedly, these two were Duke Vendome’s men.
After all, Duke Vendome’s duty was to oversee the army.
“I know,” Arsen said, pointing at Eivass, “Can I bring my friend along?”
“Yes.”
The other party replied without hesitation, as if they had already known Arsen would ask.
Arsen and Eivass exchanged another knowing glance and smiled.
After they were both put into the carriage, Arsen lowered his voice and said to Eivass, “It’s the same old trick.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was taken in a carriage like this back then, all the way to the Duke’s Mansion…”
“You were also ‘invited’ like this?”
“It’s much better now than back then; I was dragged in…”
While Arsen and Eivass were complaining about his past, the carriage soon stopped.
“We’re here, Eivass.”
Arsen glanced outside and said, “My home is here.”
Duke Vendome was not far from here, which was why he could send people immediately after the incident.
Eivass noticed that although the two men wore military uniforms, they had no military rank. This was a clear sign of a career change—they weren’t professional Iris soldiers, but the Duke’s private army! And judging by their equipment, they seemed to have transferred directly from regular army legions.
At the entrance, a large number of soldiers had already arrayed themselves.
They stood at attention, guarding the place. They wore armor and carried rifles on their backs.
“Does your home normally have so many people at the entrance?”
Eivass asked casually.
“I didn’t see anyone when I left this morning…”
Arsen grumbled. He was somewhat nervous because the scale of the formation today was truly unusual.
But soon, Eivass became the nervous one.
Besides these soldiers, there was one person standing at the entrance.
It was his… mother.
