Chapter 125
Darius allowed Gunner to rest for a while as he continued analyzing his encounter with Princess Jeanne. He then went to wash himself up and also joined Gunner in bed, completely relaxing like there was no tomorrow.
As such, the duo slept until it was evening. Upon waking, they both washed up once again and headed downstairs. Darius surprisingly ate heartily, gorging on 3 meals.
However, nobody paid attention to him, because Gunner broke his personal record and managed to swallow up more than 20 plates, leaving the onlookers frozen in fear.
That young lad was a beast! Just where did all that food go?!
Once done, Darius tipped the waiter and told him to inform Emily Wushe that he and Gunner would be away for the next 2 weeks.
Until then, she had his permission to stay in their suite and use the already paid for services as she wished.
The server nodded, but was unable to hide the envy in his eyes, cursing his fate to have been born male instead of female.
Darius exited the inn with Gunner in tow. The duo hailed a carriage and entered, informing the driver that their destination was the forward outpost of the Plains of Death, Baratuo.
They wanted him to arrive there at the fastest speed possible. To 'motivate' the driver to accede their request, Darius offered him double his fare, which came to about 1 silver coin.
As such, the fellow whipped his horses and got them moving at a stable speed of 25 km/h.
To cross the entire 240 kilometers from Listo to Baratuo would take slightly more than 9 hours. This was not counting the breaks the horses would have to take in order to maintain their speed.
Darius though, was not bothered by this seeming delay. It would be faster for him and Gunner to blink-leap, but they planned to do that from Baratuo to the core areas of Plains of Death which was a far longer journey.
Luckily, it was nighttime and many drivers refused to move at this time without a good source of light. After all, this was the medieval era where there were no headlights or streetlights. Instead, they used bright lamps that highlighted their position, although it did nothing to increase their own perception.
Darius' driver had considered pausing for the night but he was afraid that doing so would void his nice little bonus.
Fortunately, the road to Baratuo was mostly straight with no curves, so the horses could maintain a straight gallop for about 30 minutes before tiring.
Just when they were about to stop, Darius called from inside the carriage and handed the driver two stamina potions to give to the horses. Secondly, he cast a spell on both animals that glowed with a purplish light.
By using half his CP for the day, Darius had converted one of his three remaining empty spell manuals into an arguably useful buff/debuff basic spell.
[Adjust - Level 1 Spell
Cost: 1 MP
Description: Control the fundamental force of the planet that restrains all beings to its surface. This spell increases or decreases the target's weight by 5%.]
This was the basic spell of the Gravity element, Adjust. With it, Darius could allow someone to move faster or slower by slightly adjusting their weight. Of course, if he raised the level of the spell, it would no longer be 'slightly'.
This spell was mostly meant to further improve Gunner's efficiency, although it would also prove useful to debuff any enemies. In this instance, however, it worked to lighten the horses.
Immediately, their movement speed shot up to 35km/h after drinking the stamina potions, and the carriage was off to a faster pace compared to before. After another half hour, Darius provided them with another set to drink.
He was still using the Inventory style of 99 slots with 999 stacks. This was why he disliked cluttering it up with unnecessary things.
It currently contained a stack of 432 stamina potions in one slot, all of the inferior grade. He had also amassed 632 mana potions as well as 234 health potions.
Whenever he had sold his drops from the dungeons, he had excluded the potions. After all, how the hell was he supposed to explain their appearance?
Fortunately, they were quite useful as material to transmute other things he needed like the Spark Potions, Common mana potions, or even the Purification Potions he made earlier.
He was still using the inventory style of 99 slots with 999 stacks. This was why he often did not like putting useless things in his inventory or allowing certain things to stay for too long.
Of course, Inferior stamina potions could not get the horses moving for an hour, so for the second round, Darius had spent 0.0001 CP to upgrade each one to the common grade.
Midnight was coming, so he had to spend his CP anyway. He had forgotten to thanks to the hard work of the Princess, which had seriously upset the balance of his plans for the day.
However, the rate was too slow. As such, he took out some of his mana potions and mass converted them to the common grade, giving about half of them to Gunner.
Thankfully, the increase in their mana regen meant that Gunner could now use his Earth Guardian skill permanently.
Right now he recovered 19 MP per second and Earth's Guardian drained 15 MP per second, leaving him with a surplus of 4 MP.
However, Gunner often used his other skills, Earthen Stomp and Earthen Punch, in conjunction with this, their power rising with his base buff from Earth's Guardian.
Although they each were only level 1, the Stomp cost 20 MP and the Punch cost 15 MP. If used repeatedly, Gunner's MP would eventually bottom out, hence the need for mana potions to supplement these crazily powerful skills.
As for Darius, nothing he could do in a second could beat his own mana regen amount at the Amateur stage. Not counting his Heal spell, the most powerful basic spell, his level 20 Spark, merely cost him 5 MP.
However, Vena or Ceasar seem to have predicted this and whenever he continually cast spells in a row like Blink, his MP regen would be halted.
Otherwise, he would have been able to Blink to Infinitum, a ghost of teleportation that never stopped.
