Arthur was amused seeing Lena being so anxious like this. But he is also impatient to know Lena's full story. They didn't have the chance to discuss that during their travel because there were people outside.
Arthur walked towards Lena and Lena also noticed him come. She was surprised at first but then she was back to her usual self but there was a hint of anxiety in her.
"Lena, Why are you standing outside of the door? Come, come inside and Let's talk."
Saying that Arthur invited her in his room to talk. Then they both entered the room and closed the door.
Arthur sat on a chair in his room and asked Lena to sit down on his bed comfortably.
"Lena, how are you now? Is your body really well?"
Arthur thought it will be proper to start his interogation by asking about her injury first. But Lena took it as Arthur being genuinely concerned about her well-being.
If Arthur knew her thoughts right now, he will be amazed and full of shame.
"Yes, Arthur. I am fine. You don't need to worry about my body. In fact, I am more than fine. But first I want to know what was that potion you fed me when I was stabbed? "
"Eh! Why? What about the potion? Does it not work? Or is there any side-effects? "
When Lena asked Arthur about the potion he was a bit shocked. He thought maybe it caused some problems afterwards.
"No, there's no problem with the potion. It's amazing on the other hand. It's really like an immortal elixir. It healed all my wounds. Not only did it heal my wounds but also restored my body to its peak."
"I don't understand what you mean by restoring your body to the peak."
Arthur expressed his confusion to Lena.
"As you know now Arthur that I am a devil race person. But you don't know nothing else about devil other than what's common knowledge, do you? "
Arthur shook his head sideways to indicate that he did not.Lena continues to explain...
"Devils are a race ruled by many different clans. They are strong and savage. But that doesn't mean that they are mindless fool. There are many devils who are more intelligent than you can think of."
"But in devil clans the position of clan leader isn't decided by individual strength wholly. A clan leader is more like a face and prestige of the clan. So the leader is decided by hierarchy. The higher your hierarchy is the more influence you have in the clan."
"Now the devil's have a unique way to decide hierarchy. They decide the hierarchy by the number of a devil's heart."
"Number of heart? Doesn't everyone have only one heart?"
"Of course. Everyone except for the higher devil's. Not all devils are born with more than one heart. The ratio of such a devil being born is 1:1000 and it increases exponentially as the numbers of heart increases. This kind of devil are called higher devil. "
"So there's this kind of story. But what's the use of having more heart though. "
Arthur asked Lena curiously.
"Of course, there's a use. The heart is the main organ of devil physiology. If you want to kill a higher devil, you must destroy all the heart of that devil. In Reverse, if even one heart remains intact it will save the devil's lives."
Hearing Lena Arthur could not help but gasp in admiration and shock. He didn't know that devils had such body function. They are basically undying as long as the heart is safe.
"Lena, so how many hearts do you have? "
Arthur asked Lena expectantly.
"I was a devil with four hearts. All of them were with me since I was born."
"Was? Are they not here now?"
Arthur became anxious as he felt things were not same.
"No, I am not a four-heart devil anymore. After I ran from my clan and the devil domain, I was hunted by both human being and devil pursuers alike. Some of my protector died saving me. In this way, attack after attack happened on me and my protector as we continued to cross one long border after another. I also got heavy injuries and lost three of my heart before I reached here."
Lena was sad when she described her painful journey. Arthur could hardly imagine what kind of perilous situation she may have been through throughout the journey.
Lena continued with her story...
"But then fighting against the bandits I thought I will die for sure. With three of my heart destroyed I was comparatively weak then. As I thought, my fears became true and I was stabbed. With all four of my heart destroyed, I thought I was a goner. But then.."
Speaking till here, Lena suddenly became emotional and excited as well. It was really a different kind of joyous expression.
"Then you saved me. I never knew that there existed such a miraculous potion in the world that can heal a devil's heart so quickly. Most importantly, it can even heal a higher devil like me who has four heart. That potion healed all four of my heart completely without any harmful side-effects."
"Arthur, where did you get something so valuable? Who made this potion?..."
Lena was very excited about the potion. She had her doubts but mostly she was curious to know how I got this potion. So she bombard Arthur with a lot of questions regarding the potion.
Arthur was surprised to see that the potion from system is so miraculous and effective. He never thought that the system potion will regrow each one of Lena's damaged heart. This is huge news!!!
If the system potion can regrow a devil race person's heart, then who knows what other miraculous things it can do!
One thing is for sure that the things he gets from the system is way beyond the quality of this world and if he let's them out in the market, there will be a huge uproar!
