When the ice on my right hand melted, I extracted some more blood from the little Lizard's hand, and examined it . 'This time, the blood contains a bit less blue colour . This is good, with couple of treatments, she should return to normal' I thought . I again placed the right hand on her forehead, and said "Do your thing" . After a while, the blue gas appeared again, while my hand absorbed it .
'I think, I know the reason why, I can't absorb it . The Water Stone was a sort of herb, a naturally formed stone . My hand could absorb it, because it wasn't alive . This little Lizard is alive, so I can't absorb it . Frosty on the other hand, seems to be able to absorb anything, that contains water or ice element . What a weird creature' I thought .
When ice formed on my hand again, I took it away, and the absorption stopped . I repeated the process one more time, and the little Lizard seemed to be much better . When I checked the blood again, about ⅔ of it was red now . 'This is going rather well . Couple of those absorptions more, and she should be alright' I thought .
As I waited for the ice on my hand to melt, Lazar returned together with the military leader guy . Lazar quickly asked "Is my daughter alright?" . I said "Yes, she's asleep . Her condition is now a lot better . You can take care of her now, I need to chat for a bit" . I then turned towards the military leader and said "Good that you are here . I have few things, that I need to ask" .
He nodded his head and said "I will answer anything you want . The favour you did for my friend, I'm really grateful . I own you a lot" . I nodded my head, and asked "What is the situation regarding Avians, and Yagaroths?" . He said "So far, we don't have any new information, but we made contact with races not hostile with humans, and they will not chase you . Especially now, since I know what you said must be true . A human who is scheming and full of lies, would not try to save someone else's life" .
I asked "What races are those?" . He said "The race called Voltars, who live further north from here . The race called Golems, who live further to the east from here, and the race called Shades who live to the north west of here . These races will not chase after you, but be warned . Some of the inhabitants, may still rat you out, for a possibility of being rewarded" .
I nodded my head, and asked another question "Do you have a better map of the North?" . He searched his clothes for a while, and took out a map . He then pa.s.sed it to me, and said "Take it, I will not charge you anything for that . This is a very good and detailed map, so it should be useful to you" . I took the map, and simply hid it in my bag . I still had some stuff to ask about, I could take a look at that map later . "Do you know of the material called Iron Spider Thread?" .
He replied "Yes, It's very expensive, and only available in Arangard . Are you interested in that material?" . I said "Very . Can you tell me how much does it cost?" . He said "It's very expensive, one metre of it, will cost you about 45 Black Hals . I can buy it for you, but you will have to provide the money" . I nodded my head, and said "I need quite a lot of it, so the price will not be small . How much do they have?" . He shook his head, and said "I don't know . Maybe two or three spools? Probably not more than that" . I asked again "How long is one spool?" . He said "I don't really know, my guess would be around 15 metres? maybe more, maybe less . If you are that interested, I can find out" . I nodded my head and said "I would be grateful, if you did" .
He then asked "Do you have anything else to ask about?" . I thought about it for a while, and said "No, I have the new map . I also got the info about the races, which will not hunt me, and you told me some more stuff about the thread, that I require . That should be all" . He nodded his head, then said "I will tell Lazar about the thread, when I find out more . My name is Harlin by the way, and if you have more questions, just direct them to Lazar, he will bring them to me . I can't leave my office that often" . I nodded and said "That is fine" . He said goodbye to Lazar, and left .
I turned towards Lazar, and said "She will need a few more treatments . Hopefully, this doesn't re-emerge, when I leave this place" . He nodded his head, and asked "Do you want to proceed now?" . I shook my head and said "No . Let her rest, I will return tomorrow . I still have stuff to take care of" . He nodded his head, thanked me couple of time, then I left .
I was already tired, after making those Azurite Ingots . Besides, she was no longer in any pain . 'If we wait a day or two, nothing should happen to her' I thought, as I entered the tavern and ordered some food . This time, I ate to my heart content . Although I needed money, spending couple Red Hals inside the tavern, would not make me broke . When I was full, I rented a room and went straight to sleep .
The next day, I checked the map that Harlin gave to me . 'This map is really good . Although it's only focused on the Northern locations, it still shows me a lot' I thought . I could see couple of cities, some of which I already knew about . I also saw the terrain conditions, and even which Volcano housed the Lizard Capital Arangrad .
The most surprising fact, was the layout of the terrain in different parts of the North . The map described the difficulty of moving through each terrain, especially between crucial cities, and locations . 'No wonder this map is so detailed . He is a military leader after all . Moving a large amount of soldiers or people, is not an easy task . If the terrain is bad, all sort of stuff can happen . This will be very useful to me' I thought, and hid the map in my Storage Feather .
I used the Feather, to store my most precious possessions . It was easier to hide, and looked just like a feather . The bag on the other hand, was mostly used to store some of my less precious possessions… besides the Yellow Dust, which I still carried with me in a bag . The Yellow Dust, was a sort of last resort . The ultimate move, where everything, including me, would suffer .
I headed straight to the workshop, and began creating my daggers . I didn't want to make any more moulds, only use the ones, I already created . It took me a while to cast 20 daggers, but I was pleased with the final result . I then sharpened and polished them . My new daggers were ready . 'Those daggers are heavier, compared to the previous ones made from Purified Steel . The design is a bit different as well . I will need some time, in order to adjust to them' I thought .
I swung the dagger a few times, and didn't feel any problems with it . I tested all daggers like that, and made sure that all daggers suited me . I was also checking for any deficiencies . 'Now I have my daggers, as for the remaining Black Steel Ingots, I will leave them for the time, when I can create those dagger by hand, without moulds' I thought, and went to work on the Azurite Ingots .
