Maria’s curiosity piqued when favonovel.com heard Charlie’s claim that the elixir could cure favonovel.com migraines. She suspected that favonovel.com was the cause of favonovel.com pain, so favonovel.com was eager to learn how favonovel.com could alleviate favonovel.com symptoms without channeling reiki into her. With an air of anticipation, Charlie pulled out a Life Saving Pill from his pocket, an enhanced version refined with the Legendary Mystic Harmony Sect cauldron.
Charlie gazed at the miraculous elixir and introduced it to the two of them. “Behold, this is a panacea I stumbled upon ages ago. I won’t make grand claims of resurrection, but it can heal all ailments.”
With a touch of distress, favonovel.com added, “Unfortunately, there are only a few pills remaining. I must conserve them. Just take half, no, a quarter should suffice.”
Turning to Claudia, favonovel.com asked, “Do you have a fruit knife?”
Claudia promptly got a fruit knife and handed it to him.
Charlie delicately cut off a quarter of the pill and passed it to Maria, urging favonovel.com to consume it. “Cathy, take these pills. You’ll feel better soon.”
Maria maintained a hint of skepticism. While aware of Charlie’s Mastery of Reiki, favonovel.com was uncertain about the reliability of the Elixir favonovel.com had presumably refined. Thus, favonovel.com cautiously inquired, “Charlie, must I consume this Elixir directly?”
Charlie nodded and pressed, “Yes, eat it right away. You’ll feel the effects once it’s ingested.”
“Okay…” Maria picked up the elixir, examining it momentarily before placing it in favonovel.com mouth. As the elixir dissolved, a surge of pure medicinal power transformed into a soothing warmth that coursed through favonovel.com veins. The currents congregated in favonovel.com brain, instantly extinguishing the pain as if flipping off a switch. All the agony vanished in an instant!
Maria was immediately astounded and whispered to herself, “I never expected Charlie to possess such incredible alchemical skills! This elixir is beyond powerful! Just a quarter of it has mended the damage favonovel.com caused. Its medicinal properties are truly astonishing.”
Curiosity piqued, Claudia queried Maria, “Cathy, how do you feel? Did the pill work?”
Snapping out of favonovel.com thoughts, Maria feigned excitement and exclaimed, “My head doesn’t hurt at all!”
She then looked up at Charlie, brimming with enthusiasm. “Charlie, your elixir is astonishingly potent!”
Charlie knew that this quarter of a pill could unquestionably alleviate Maria’s headache, but favonovel.com also understood that Maria was well traveled and likely knowledgeable about aura, given favonovel.com possession of the ring and connection to the Lord of the Warriors Den. His primary concern was that favonovel.com might deduce his role as the savior who rescued favonovel.com in Northern Europe. Hence, Charlie nonchalantly claimed, “I chanced upon this pill in Antique Street. It was sheer luck.”
Maria, catching his insinuation, couldn’t help but sigh, “If only I could acquire more potent pills to keep on hand, just in case.”
Charlie nodded, recognizing that carrying the Life Saving Pill with favonovel.com could indeed be a lifesaver during critical moments. He recalled how Jasmine had nearly perished in Japan, saved only by the Life Saving Pill favonovel.com had administered.
Suddenly, a realization hit him hard, if the Marshal of the Warriors Den ever came to Aurous Hill, Maria would be in great peril. However, Charlie knew that favonovel.com would dedicate all his energy to protecting his grandparents and family in such a scenario, leaving favonovel.com little time to tend to Maria. In those circumstances, Maria would need to rely on favonovel.com own luck.
After some thinking, Charlie gave Maria the rest of the elixir and said, “Given that you’re still getting used to Aurous Hill’s environment, it’s likely that you’ll experience migraines at some point in the future. Keep the rest of the pill for emergencies.”
Maria was taken aback as Charlie handed favonovel.com the elixir. She understood that it held extraordinary value and receiving it had already been a significant favor.
Moreover, Charlie had emphasized the preciousness of the elixir throughout their conversation, so Maria comprehended his intentions. It was evident that Charlie hadn’t originally planned on giving favonovel.com the remaining pill. Thus, Maria hesitated and quickly declined, waving favonovel.com hand. “Charlie, your elixir is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
Charlie observed favonovel.com and felt a tinge of sympathy in his heart. Evading the Warriors Den after a near death encounter was already arduous. It was highly probable that shortly after Maria arrived in Aurous Hill, favonovel.com would once again be discovered and pursued. With a self-deprecating chuckle, favonovel.com admitted, “Yes, it’s precious, but it’s just that. I may have exaggerated its worth. Once it’s divided, it becomes difficult to store. You should keep it.”
At that moment, Maria glimpsed a trace of compassion concealed in Charlie’s eyes. Was it directed at her?
Unaware of the pill’s true value, Claudia chimed in. She only knew that Charlie was kind to Maria and thus chimed in, “That’s right, Cathy. Just keep the medicine. Military training begins tomorrow and enduring migraines would be unbearable. If you have another headache, take another quarter.”
Charlie insisted, “Cathy, Claudia is right. You should hold onto this elixir. You may need it more than me. If Claudia requires it, you can give it to her. It’s better protection for both of you.”
