Shane glanced back at the glowing fruits and fragments, then to Zarion... He couldn't help but smile after seeing how excited the elf was…
"Good. We'll need every advantage when we burn the Vampire Lord's nest to the ground. Can you do it quickly?"
"I will do my best… I need a few more things…"
Shane then swiftly arranged for Cloud to take everything Zarion needed and have it delivered in the floating fortress.
"Alright… Can you tell me more about your plans?" Shane asked as he also had a bit of Alchemy Skill."
With a deep breath, Zarion pulled his gaze away from the treasures and began sharing his plan.
"My Lord… Here is what I envision."
He gestured toward the pile of World Root Fragments with the faint mana around them glowing…
"For some fragments… Well, I suggest refining at least half into catalysts. These can be crushed into pure essence and mixed with mithril, adamantite, or even the mana alloys your smiths are experimenting with."
