Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

For now, Vale decided to reject Cane's request…

"I appreciate your interest, Cane, but I'm afraid I can't agree to your offer. The Divine Talisman Paper is too dangerous and unpredictable. I don't want to risk creating more problems than solutions. And I don't think I need anything from your organization. I have enough resources and knowledge on my own. Thank you for your proposal, but I have to decline." Vale said.

Although Cane knew that his request would likely be denied by the Immortal, it still pained him to hear such a rejection

"You're right, Immortal. The Shadow Consortium does not have the wealth or ancient knowledge that those old aristocrats or families have… However, we have the best Talisman Crafters on the continent. I believe that the Divine Talisman, that we will make from your blood will not be in the hands of enemies. A single drop of your blood can only make 10 Divine Talismans… You could greatly limit the number of Talismans with the number of drops you give to us."

Cane then paused for a moment to take a breath before he continued." Furthermore, we can arrange the creation of the Divine Talisman in this place to ensure that they will not fall into the evil's hands. In the end, we only want to obtain half of the creation… The other half of the created Divine Talisman would be yours, Immortal."

The other representatives were certainly impressed by this deal... Vale was also tempted as he kept his silence for a moment.

Although he was already an Immortal, it doesn't mean that he could use all Immortal Spells. He still needed the Celestial Spell Models to cast them.

Having Divine Talismans may be helpful in some cases where his Shadow Divinity couldn't provide him with help.

"I'll consider it…" Vale said after some thought.

Then, he turned his attention to the last representative…

It was the representative of the Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent. She was a young woman with a curvy figure and a seductive smile. Just like the Cane, she doesn't have any other companions with her.

She wore a red dress that hugged her body and a snake pendant that hung from her neck.

"I'm known as Lady Eve, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent. However, for the Immortal, you can simply call me Eve." Eve introduced herself.

Vale didn't show a reaction as he simply recalled the information he got from Magnus about this organization.

The Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent was known for its security services and its control over a specific type of herb, which they called the Utara's Serpent Herb.

This herb was used by alchemists to expel foreign Arcane Energy from someone's body, which was useful for treating curses, infections, and other ailments caused by Arcane Spells or Rituals. The Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent had a monopoly on the cultivation and distribution of the Scarlet Serpent Herb, which made them popular and respected among the alchemists and the nobles.

'Are they thinking of growing some type of rare herb using my blood? Do they see me as some type of precious resource?' Vale thought for a moment as he waited for the lady's request.

"Sir Immortal… We wish to work with your organization. I believe that even if you have great strength, you still need an influence in the outside world." Lady Eve started before he continued to explain his proposal.

Lady Eve's request to the Immortal was more complex and ambiguous.

She wanted to form an alliance with the Immortal and offer him her security services and her Utara's Serpent Herb.

After not getting a response, Lady Even continued and claimed that the Immortal would need her protection and her herb, as he would face many enemies and dangers in the future.

Finally, she also hinted that she had other benefits and favors to offer him, if he agreed to her alliance.

"Hmm?"

Vale was curious about this offer, but as he waited to hear what it was, Lady Eve looked at him instead with a flirtatious and inviting expression as if she was trying to charm him.

Vale ignored Lady Eve's suggestive gestures and decided to ask for a sample of the Utara's Serpent Herb.

"Show me the herb you are talking about. I want to know what's so special about it."

According to the information he had, it seemed to be very magical, and he wanted to see what it was and what it could do.

Lady Eve smiled as he expected this much from the Immortal.

She swiftly took out a small pouch from her dress.

She opened it and revealed a bunch of green leaves that had a faint red pattern on them.

"This is the Utara's Serpent Herb. It is a rare and precious herb that can expel even the toughest curses or energy out of someone's body. It is also a potent stimulant that can enhance the senses and the vitality. It is only cultivated and distributed by the Brotherhood of the Scarlet Serpent. Yes, we're the only ones who have the knowledge on how to properly cultivate this herb. For the past twenty years, we have had a monopoly on this herb, and we can provide it to you exclusively, Sir Immortal." Lady Eve said unaffected by how Vale ignored her seduction.

Vale then took the pouch and examined the herb.

He used his Appraisal Spell to analyze its properties and effects…

It didn't take long before he felt surprised by what he found. The herb not only had the ability to expel foreign Arcane Energy, but also to increase the Life Strand of the consumer! The Life Strand was the measure of the life force and the potential of a living being… It is the Vitality in his Attributes Panel.

The higher the Life Strand, the longer the lifespan…

Although Vale did not need this herb, since he had the ability to Extract vitality from others, he knew that this herb would be valuable and beneficial for others, especially his allies and friends!
