Tales of The Mighty Dragonair

He needed isolation, as doing this task in this few hours alone wasn't reasonable. He had plenty of materials to test upon, but not too great to waste a lot of them in trials.

He didn't want to just make one potion, but as many as he could. Who knew, he might need to boost his main team strength, or one potion might not be enough to boost his own strength.

Putting that in mind, he collected all the materials he took out, then he emptied his old ring contents into his new ring, as he would give his old ring to Randy before leaving at dawn.

Once finished, he took out some meat and started eating them until the early hours of dawn approached, shyly, on the whole world. Since the day he started to open up his powers, he and his friends never needed to rest, as if their bodies had grown beyond the normal concepts, breaking the shackles of the normal human bodies, and starting to look like cultivators.

But he knew they were different from cultivators, who used to gain longevity with each breakthrough. He saw the middle aged mages of this world, and they look as old as any normal human being would be.

As he was immersed in thought, Randy, Amelia, and Ron kicked in, as they looked quite enthusiastic, with great mood to go.

"Are you ready to leave?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, we are," Randy replied, with much confidence on his face.

"Hmm, take this ring, it has some necessities inside, from meat to killing monsters to cook. You can fill it as you like along the way with the monster you kill, but this is just for reassurance," Arthur threw his old ring to Randy, who caught it with much pride and happiness.

"We won't disappoint you," he said.

"Just don't get anyone killed, and don't be too late," Arthur warned, before nodding, gesturing them to leave.

He now had Omar overlooking the construction of the new village, and the three leaving right now would take the new mages to train outside. The place was getting quieter, much suitable for him to undergo his experiments, but he didn't start right away.

He needed to wait until all the sleeping mages to wake up, and wait until Madly woke up as well. After arranging these two matters, he would enter his two days seclusion, trying to get a handle on how to make this potion.

His wait didn't last longer than a couple of hours, as many mages started to wake up. It didn't pass four hours before all of them woke up, feeling refreshed, and their strength soared by bounds.

They all gained quite considerable boost to their strengths, making them feel more astonished towards Arthur, who knew all these secrets, despite being a young clan leader on an unknown forsaken place as here.

If he was one of the great academies renown in this world, they might find this acceptable. Academies had many secrets that no one else but them knew of, and each great academy had its own sets of secrets that even other academies didn't know.

"Are you feeling alright?" he asked, as the three leaders of the bounty hunter guild stood in front of him with their aces.

"This is a blessing, knowing you brother Willy," Silver Falcon was the one to start, expressing his admiration of the gains he had so far in the short span of time he dealt with Arthur, who laughed shortly on his remark then said:

"Don't say that, it's a blessing having you in my lands," he then looked to the three leaders as he seriously added, "I want all of you to work internally, aiding Omar in building the new village, making it the new capital for any rogue mage out there. at the same time, I want you to use all your connections, spread the words of the wonders you saw here, spreading my open invitation to any rogue mage coming here, swearing loyalty to me, and in return he or she would gain benefits through you."

His words carried many hidden meanings, which were all very grand and alluring to them. The ambition of Arthur wasn't that low, and he wasn't even satisfied by the number of mages under his control.

He needed more, the more the merrier. They sensed his thirst for getting a bigger crowd of mages, and having this growing number of mages under his control meant he would be growing stronger.

Strength was everything in this world, and as long as they kept serving him, loyally, and showed him their worth, they would gain part of the great benefits Arthur would eventually have.

"Don't worry brother Willy, we will do our best," Omgalden said, striking his chest with his hand.

"Though it pained me to leave before getting to know each other better, but I will see all the tasks you handled to me fulfilled, and I will make you surprised by the results I will score, that even pleasing me wouldn't be enough reward for that," Lendy said, in a seductive tone, and moving her big two lumps in her chest up and down as she spoke.

Arthur just smiled, without saying any other word, watching the three eager leaders leave with their aces. He knew their benefit wouldn't show up at once, but in later time, when many would know about his ambitions, and fear them, they would be his killer ace.

As they left, he now had one task in mind, which was done easily during the next hour. Madly came to bid him farewell, expressing her greatest and deepest gratitude for his teachings, as she had many inspirations she wanted to test out now.

Arthur didn't reject her request, stressing on her to be here in two days with everyone else, as he would set his armies out for the next expedition.

She left, headed back with the bounty hunter mages to her original village. She wanted to seclude herself and try new things she just learnt, experimenting on many theories she had some insights about, at her grandpa's working place.

Arthur didn't make her leave empty handed, as he gave her one of the rings they made, explaining in brief words:

"This is a more magical ring than the older one I was using. This ring is connected to my ring, and so you can use it to send me messages if there is anything urgent to inform. Other than this, keep it safe, well hidden from the eyes of others, and never tell its secret to anyone."

She promised him, in her honor, that she wouldn't ever tell anyone about this ring until he gave her the permission to do so. He left some materials she might use in forging, like that special charcoal, enough amount of the usual explosive oil, and many ores to use in forging.

By sending her off, he was finally alone. He left some instructions to the remaining servants here, as not to let anyone disturb him. He then closed the door of the main hall on himself, ready to start concocting this potion.
