34 Chapter 34 - Mana Crystal
In the city of Aurum.
Aurum was the Tudor kingdoms finest city. If you'd say the Royal Capital was the strongest city then you can also say that Aurum was the wealthiest.
In the High Society.
The High Society was a society made of the richest and the finest the city of Aurum could generate.
Only The wealthiest of people could have the capacity to live here. It was said that even one acre of land in this place could generate enough taxes in a year that it could feed all the poor people in the Tudor Kingdom and even be able to sustain them for at least a century.
For some years there was a crazy rumor going around Aurum, it was that this place had a mine that everyone already had a general idea of, but the crazy thing was that it wasn't just any kind of mine down under the city but a Mana Crystal Mine.
Generally all of us have a simple idea of what a gold mine is right, but in a Mana Crystal Mine instead of a gold being mined you would mine a crystallization form of Mana. The mined crystal would still be in it's rocked state so you normally would refine it until all the rocky surface are gone and what remains is Mana.
Pure Mana
In a advanced age where there's already many different kind of machine that can act as a capacitor for Mana but the odd thing is there hasn't been a machine created that could actually create a natural source of Mana. So the crystallization form of Mana is very rare and Very expensive.
There are many researches going on about refining mana from a natural source other than a Mana Crystal or creating one that could in the process help many... or the reason they are being made is to help the chosen some get even richer than they already are.
There are some complete researches which gives you an idea of how you can generate mana in natural way but those are in fact all forbidden ones and not even one in production. Mostly all of them start with the normal [ The path to greatness is a greater Sacrifice ] and the norm but all them and I meant ALL OF THEM end with disaster.
Over 90% of the research needs a live experiment which one could include a Beast for physical experimentation but their Mana is not that compatible, very powerful but not compatible with many things.
But Human Mana... Human Mana is a different thing altogether. Their Mana are powerful and very compatible at the same time so they were the most optimal rabbits for madmen in search of glory.
And the 10%... The final 10% consisted of Supernatural entities. Most of the supernatural entities had the same gig "Give us Human" Some of them were crazy "Give us Human Butts" and some of them were really crazy "Give us your Di*ks". But what really topped that were some entities that doesn't just sum up by being just Supernatural. No! they were Bizarre, Chaotic and overall what really makes them the most terrifying was that they were...
Sane
Yes it was just that. Why? Why does that make them terrifying?
One of the reason she was annoyed at this moment was because of her lecherous husband who couldn't even stop himself from touching upon a low class wench.
She said to nobody in particular while looking at her families estate.
"We can't use the families elites for stuff like this, it brings a sour taste to the tongue. And the three people we have sent is adequate enough for a low class job like this."
"Bu-but mother what if they failed? What then?" Leopold said with a slight fear of not wanting to anger his mother more than she already looked.
"Then... We must ensue forceful measures." She said and let her mind wander to different things.

[ Presently, Somewhere Else ]
In a alley close to the Delmar's Bar there were two people of similar black spandex who were looking at a scene that made their backbones tingle with fear.
"W-What do we do, Rierd?" One asked the other.
"W-What else? We have to tell this to the boss." The one named Rierd said.
"But what abo- What about Hannah?"
"About Her..." Rierd looked at the scene before he shook his head and said "Forget her she's..." Not finding any appropriate words for the horrifying scene he didn't say anything else and both of them left the place that could bring horrors even to a hardened mind.
