Free Web NovelChapter 27: "How did you become an Apprentice Potionist..."
Apart from her unusual ability,this was the first person he had come across that had a profession.
"I bet that in that bundle are her tools of trade..."
Leo thought as he turned to introduce Hu and Gemini to the young woman.
"This is Hu..."
"And that is Gemini..."
Leo said.
"Greetings aunty..."
"Greetings Miss Fortuna..."
The two acknowledged the young woman,whose face underwent a slight change,as if someone had pinched her, when Gemini acknowledged her as aunty. This change could not escape Leo’s eye,and he twitched.
"It seems that this young woman is not happy with being called aunty..."
Leo could only smile helplessly.
"How does your ability work...?"
Leo was interested in the young woman’s ability more than anything.
"I can only activate it once in three days..."
"The effect differ from each usage..."
Miss Fortuna said,as she looked around. She did not know how to exactly explain ,the effect of her ability,and all she could do was demonstrate.
"Come here..."
She called the little boy and placed her hand on the boys head before activating her ability.
A white hue, emanating from the young woman’s palm engulfed Gemini,and for a second,Leo could swear that he saw the young woman’s face change. It morphed from sn average beauty to a celestial beauty,that took Leo’s breath away. But the weirdest thing was that after the split second change,no matter how hard he tried to recall the woman’s celestial face,all he could come up with was a blank face.
System notification: Your summon,Gemini,has received the blessing of luck...
System notification: Your summon ability has advanced.
"What...!"
Leo exclaimed as his jaw dropped.
The young woman’s ability was way more broken than Gemini’s. A single touch and once ability just advances. Though Leo knew the system could not play tricks on him,he still inspected the little boy’s status panel for confirmation.
Name: Gemini(Royal subordinate)
Race: Human
Age: 9
Rank:None
Level: 3 (2900/12,500)
Class: None
Profession: None
Faction: None
Ability: Replicate (Uncommon Rank)
"It actually advanced...!"
Leo whistled as he gave the young woman’s a thump up.
"Now this is what I call broken..."
Leo’s mind was on full gears as he thought of a hundred ways that he could take advantage of the young woman’s ability. With her ability, though she said that results defer,he could use her to increase the rank of the system issued summoning jade,or the system issued chests and more so, improving the subordinates abilities.
"Hmm...!"
Leo’s train of thoughts was cut short by the young woman’s exclamation.
"What...."
He was about to inquire when his eyes landed on Gemini,or rather the pile of wooden mugs all over the little boy’s feet,who was currently in an amazed daze.
"What’s happening...?’
Leo inquired.
"Big brother...."
"My ability improved..."
The little boy said as his face was full of excitement. After Fortuna placed her palm on his head,he felt a kind of warmness,followed by a voice in his mind. He had heard this voice before,when he killed the scarely forest dire wolf. The voice informed him that his ability, replicate,had advanced from common rank to uncommon rank,and that the cool time period for replicating common items had dropped to half an hour and the amount of items he could replicate had increased from one to ten. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
There was also a five percent chance that a common rank replicated item could be raised by a rank.
Also,he could now replicate uncommon items,but the cool down time was six hours,and during this time,he could not replicate any other item. As for quantity,he could only replicate one uncommon rank item,provided that all the materials were provided.
Hearing this,Leo could only grin.
When Gemini had the voice,he decided to try out his new ability,and since he still had his mug at hand,he moved towards one of the piles of wood and placing his left palm on it,he activated his newly ranked up ability. And to his surprise,it took less than a minute for ten wooden mugs to appear.
The whole process was way smoother than before,and he felt that only a small portion of his energy had been utilized.
"It seems that despite having two abilities,they are nothing compared to these two..."
Leo sighed.
Though he had loot and inspect,these two abilities were more of auxiliary abilities. They played no major role in improving his strength like Hu’s abiliy,or aided in the advancement or development of his territory.
"How about your ability...?" freeweɓnøvel.com
Leo inquired from Hu.
"Young Lord,my ability helps me fight a star above my rank,but only for a minute..."
Hu said dejected. For a battle fanatic like him,a minute was too short.
"What is this guy being dejected for...!"
Leo mentally cursed.
A minute to him was enough to take full control of the fight and eradicate his opponent,provided that he grasped the right opportunity, and not forgetting that the power boost was enough for one to go hand in hand with a higher ranked opponent.
It was similar to a mortal stage cultivator fighting against an earth stage cultivator and ending in a stalemate.
"What about your profession..."
"How did you become an Apprentice Potionist..."
Leo turned towards the young woman,who took her time,she had a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Well,I was just an ordinary lady,just like every other girl in my village..."
She said as she pushed back her hair.
"What is going on...!"
Leo was confused, though he had asked,he had expected a blank stare. Just like the one Gemini had given him when he inquired on the little boy’s origin.
"This woman has a backstory..."
Leo was piqued,as he felt that her story had a catch in it. How big it was,he could only wait patiently for her to finish.
"One day I went out to gather some mushrooms by the cliff..."
The young woman went on,her look a little bit dazed with traces of fear in her eyes. By now, even Hu and Gemini had moved closer.
"A wild boar came out of nowhere..."
