Chapter 44 - MISSION TO THE DEMON VILLAGE

Kasper: I owe Luna. Now that I've produced the potion, I can now make more and give her a bottle. Right now I need to rest, I'm so hungry and tired. (Dragged his exhausted body out of the lab and shut and locked the door before leaving. He gently wore the key as a necklace around his neck tucking it into his shirt where it couldn't be easily spotted by others)

Maid: Sir Kasper, your bath is ready. (Walked up to him and spoke)

Kasper: Alright I'll there.

... After taking his bath, eating and resting, he continued with his experiments. He struck two flints and lit few demon fireflies butt. The room became more luminous and easier to see one's activities. Quickly, he embarked on his production. With full confidence in his work he poured more quantity of healing flower and other herbs and threw a demon core Lyrixa had gifted him as a reward during the battle with the rare scale dragon. Quickly he swiftly cut his palm with a bone knife and poured some of his into a blood.

Kasper: Ishh, it stings. (Careful watched how the cut slowly heal and mend up with a new layer of skin).

... Minutes later Kasper stared at his amazing work. The tubes containing potions were places in 3 test tube stand with 5 on each crates.

Kasper: System storage (gently placed the three crates into his storage)

Athena: Ding! Host successful produced more healing potions. +30XP. Each potion is an additional of 2XP. Congratulations host on your journey of being a successful alchemist.

Kasper: (laid on his bead, staring the ceiling before him before slowly drifting into a deep sleep out of exhaustion)

Pookie: (nuzzled her head on Kasper while trying to find a comfortable position to continue her sleep).

Kasper: (lazily opened his eyes and got up when he heard a knock on his door) Who is it?

Maid: It is I, Calylixa.

Kasper: Calylixa? (Opened the door with lazy gaze and disheveled hair like a bird's nest with pookie nestled on his head like a fluffy nest)

Lyraen:Sir Kasper (waltz her way next beside Calylixa in front of Kasper's bedroom door)

Kasper: Lady Lyraen? (Surprised)

Lyraen: Good morning sir Kasper (bowed slightly) Gosh his sleepy face is so hot. He looks so handsome (her mind did few spins as she thought) Our team has to report to the queen this morning.

Kasper: Oh, really. Sorry for bothering you, but can you wait a bit I'd like to get ready.

Lyraen: Sure.

Kasper: Lead her Calylixa (instructed)

Calylixa: Yes sir (bowed and gestured to Lyraen)

... Minutes later, Kasper returned to the garden where Lyraen was...

Lyraen: Are you ready?

Kasper: (nods) Hm.

...At the palace...

Lyraen and Kasper: Long live the queen (went on one knee)

Lyrixa: (stared at them) Arise. (Gestured)

Kasper: I brought this for you your majesty (presented a well packaged bottle filled with green liquid)

Lyrixa:(stared keenly at the bottle Kasper had presented) And this is?

Kasper: I've been in the lab all night trying to develop the healing potion and it was a success.

Lyraen: What? You developed a healing potions in just a day? Not even an alchemist can do that. It's takes them years or they literally pass on the experiment to their apprentice to continue.

Kasper: well I was just lucky enough to get an hang of it after several trials. (Rubbed his neck awkwardly as he recalled the mess he created while making the potion)

Lyrixa: (picked up the bottle and stared at it)

Kasper: If you have doubts about it, you can try...

Lyrixa: (didn't give Kasper to complete his statement when she pulled out the lid and gulped the content)

Lyraen: Your majesty (shocked)

Kasper: Aren't you scares I might poison you? (Froze at her boldness)

Lyrixa: I trust you human, you wouldn't do such thing. (Smiles which had other means attached)

Kasper: (shivered and nervously smiled back at her) Yeah, she trust me. I literally gave her that crazy idea while pretending to be her father. But her smile is so scary, someone please help me. (Gulped down his saliva as he thought) Yes your majesty. How would I ever plot such a scheming act?

Lyrixa: Yes human (smiles more)

Kasper: Save me please (his back shrunk)

Lyraen: Reports your majesty. The investigating team under sir Kasper's command. I've received reports that the crops in the demon town are beginning to wither away quickly at a fast rate than usual.
