Chapter 1044: State of Affairs



Naturally, it went without saying that Valyr was caught off guard when Mystia revealed how much Mystic Energy he'd get from consuming one pill.

After all, if he were to consume all 10 pills, he would immediately gain a thousand points of Mystic Energy he could freely use, which would improve his maximum capacity by threefold. Then again, the young man's shock made sense, considering how all of the pills and elixirs he'd consumed thus far did not give such a drastic level of improvement once consumed.

'On second thought, there was that True Rebirth Pill I consumed,' thought the young man to himself as he took in a deep breath to calm down. 'There's also the Constitution Refinement Elixir Mystia gave me earlier before we entered the Mystic Plane.'

Thinking about it a bit further, Valyr eventually changed his mind, thinking that the effects brought about by the Mystic Infusion Pill were reasonable.

It was just the fact that Mystia had given him 10 of the pills in one go that made him think that the effects were quite absurd.

In fact, this thought of his was further reinforced after hearing the two talk about the Mystic Infusion Pill by the time he finished dwelling in his thoughts.

"How much points did the last version of the Mystic Infusion Pill give back then?" asked Marcus, his expression that of curiosity.

"I could only get it to give like 70 points of it on average," said Mystia after a bit of contemplation, scratching the back of her head as she continued to ponder over the question. "The best case scenario at the time was like 80 points, I think?"

"How about the pills you gave Valyr just now, then?" asked Marcus back, raising his eyebrow. "Are those the average results? Or are those what you'd consider the current best-case scenario?"

"I'd say it's a bit above average," replied Mystia after a bit of silence. "I have a feeling that if I push myself a bit more, I'd be able to have each pill give around 110 points."

"Then again, there's still a long way to go until I reach that end goal."

As the two got to this point of their conversation, Valyr felt that now was the right time to interrupt them if he wanted to obtain more information. "What do you plan on doing with the Mystic Infusion Pills?"

"Well, a lot of things," said Mystia in response, slightly shrugging her shoulders as Marcus smiled at the young man's question. "For one, it's an easy way to improve the maximum amount of Mystic Energy we have, though it does come with caveats."

"One of those caveats is the fact that you can only take a specific number of the pills at a time before you're able to take another set of them. It's part of the reason why I aim to maximize the amount each pill gives as possible."

"In any case, with your newly acquired knowledge of the Mystic Plane's hierarchy, I'm sure it won't take long for you to realize what I aim to do with these things."

As Mystia smiled after saying those words, Valyr faintly tilted his head in confusion as he willed the gears in his mind to start turning.

For a while after that, the young man remained silent, inwardly pondering as to whether or not he should tell Mystia why he was heading back.

In the end, he felt that hiding such information from her would be useless in the end, considering that the Algerie Kingdom was under the Meltierre Empire's jurisdiction.

"In the next couple days, I plan to attend a meeting alongside Julian," said Valyr after the silence, consuming his sixth Mystic Infusion Pill in a row. "A meeting involving the directors of the Blacksmith Guild."

"I've heard about that a couple times." Mystia nodded in response. "They've unfortunately had to postpone the meeting a couple of times due to abrupt changes in the frontlines. Fortunately, the current situation on the frontlines are stable enough for them to push the meeting through."

"Why would you be attending their meeting, though?" asked Mystia with an expression that showed both curiosity and confusion. "You may be considered important in the Blacksmith Guild's eyes due to your contributions and achievements, but not to that extent, no?"

"I plan on persuading the directors to push the mass production of a couple of things." Feeling like he'd now gotten used to the sensation of the Mystic Infusion Pill, Valyr went ahead and popped two pills at once, only to belatedly regret the decision of doing so.

Forcing his knees not to buckle at the intense sensation of relief assaulting his entire body, Valyr took in a deep breath as he continued his explanation. "Two things... I plan on pitching two things to the directors."

"The first one... would be the armor that I'm wearing," said the young man, letting out a faint sigh of relief the moment the intense sensation assaulting him gradually subsided. "Julian took an interest on it the moment he saw its capabilities, wanting to distribute it amongst those at the frontlines to begin tipping the scales to our favor."

At those words, Mystia went ahead and used her identification skill on one of the pieces of armor Valyr was wearing, only for her eyes to widen in disbelief after seeing its performance. Smiling as he noticed Mystia's change in expression, Valyr went ahead and consumed the two remaining Mystic Infusion Pills in the satchel before taking out the arquebus from his spatial bracelet.

"As for the other thing I plan on pitching to the directors, that would be this weapon I've

invented."

Still left at a loss for words at the performance of Valyr's armor, it took a while for Mystia to shift her gaze towards the arquebus and use her identification skill on it, only to be left at a further loss for words.

"..." Not wanting to interrupt the thoughts going on in Mystia's head as she looked through the arquebus' description, Valyr went ahead and returned the arquebus back to his spatial bracelet before taking a look at the amount of Mystic Energy he currently had.

Seeing that he now had over a thousand points of Mystic Energy in his name, a faint smile adorned the young man's face as he returned his gaze towards Mystia.

"Say, Valyr..." Though, once he did, the situation instantly turned around as it became his

turn to be left at a loss for words.

"Want me to accompany you in that meeting?"
