Alec couldn't believe it, this training ground was heaven for any mages, whoever had created it had to be extremely powerful. There were even level eleven and twelve magic herbs, and not just a little bit, although just under half was empty, it still made it the biggest collection of magic herbs he had never seen.
All the magic herbs that existed were listed here and had their own compartment. On closer inspection, they each had two compartments, one for the seeds and the other for the ready-to-use magic herbs, and all these magic herbs were high quality ones, completely amazing thought Alec.
But there was still something bothering him, he couldn't help asking: "Celia, why did you put the cauldron in the corner over there, it must not be very convenient for you?"
Celia was trying to hold back her giggles, Alec was really too cute with his eyes shining with curiosity, no wonder Liam fell for him, that childish side suited him too, even though his CEO side was very sexy.
Celia sighed, Liam was going to eat him alive that was sure, there was no doubt as to who would be the top and bottom in their couple.
Liam let go of Alec's hand and put his arm around his shoulders, Alec took the opportunity to put his hand around his waist possessively while waiting for Celia's response.
Celia finally replied casually: "I put it there because it was a bothering me, it took up too much space, and I need the space when I want to do four magic pills at the same time."
Alec must have misheard right, he turned to Liam to see if Celia was joking and making fun of him, but he realized that Liam was staring at him with eyes full of laughter and affection, damn he was really too hot, how could he keep his focus while he was staring at him like that.
Liam was more and more seduced by Alec, he answered him: "Celia does not use a cauldron to make her magic pills, she prepares them here, she has a mastery over her spiritual energy which I am sure it would make all mages, even legendary mages green with envy.
She is able to make four level two magic pills at the same time. She has also made a recycling loop for her spiritual energy to be renewed, so that way she doesn't have to wait for the necessary thirty minutes break like everyone else."
Liam felt good with his arm around Alec's shoulders. Alec was just a little smaller than him, it had to be only two or three centimeters, and the feel of Alec's hand on his waist made him feel good.
His skin burned were Alec was touching him, he had never felt this way before for any other lover he had been with, it felt weird but he liked that feeling so he reminded Alec gently: "I warned you baby, you are not at the end of your surprises. Do you have the magic herbs with you for Celia?"
Alec was speechless, it was completely unimaginable, but he had no reason to doubt Liam, so he replied: "Yes I have them with me, catch Celia."
He tossed her a magic bag: "The four hundred sets of each kind for the level two magic pills are inside, as well as the thousand set of each kind for the level three magic pills."
Celia was in heaven: "Too great, you're the best Alec! Sweetie, I'll let you manage the finances."
Anaya looked at Alec who was still holding Liam by the waist, and asked him: "I know the cost for the level two sets, but how much do the sets for the level three magic pills cost?"
Alec replied: "For basic magic pills it is two hundred gold coins, for intermediate magic pills it is three hundred gold coins and for high level magic pills it is four hundred gold coins. The total amount for the eight thousand four hundred sets is one million eight hundred and seventy two thousand gold coins."
Anaya trusted him and transferred the money from her magic bag to his. Good, things were done, now she was going to be able to take care of her wife a bit, Liam had told them that there would be no further training before they left for the Isle of Death.
After this exchange Celia wanted to tease her baby wife, she ended up saying "What a pity in the end that this egg was not on sale, we could have had our first baby together sweetie."
Anaya blushed and Celia laughed: "Sweetie, don't look like that, I'm teasing you. But on the other hand, since you became my wife, you also became the mother of my two little boys. No matter how long it takes, we will go find them."
She had said this last sentence very seriously, Anaya said to her: "Don't worry my love, we will go get them, we will all help you bring your children back… Well our children."
Anaya took Celia in her arms and gave her a long and fiery kiss.
Celia was worried about her children and her family, she hoped that that junk was in prison and that he couldn't hurt them anymore, she also hoped that her brothers had taken care of her baby boys because their parents were too old to manage these two fiery little boys.
Anaya hugged her until she felt that Celia had calmed down, she too was in a hurry for Celia to become strong enough to return to her world, because right now the only person she wanted to wipe out of this universe was there, she would make him pay a thousand times over for all the atrocities he had done to her wife.
Liam looked at Alec and gave him a kiss on the forehead, Alec then grabbed his chin and unlike the last time when his kiss had been a little shy, this one was full of lust, Liam must have remembered that the girls were still there to calm himself down, otherwise he probably would have begged Alec to have him right now.
Once Alec was done kissing him, he remembered there was a question he forgot to ask Anaya, so when he saw that Anaya was consoling Celia he decided it would be good for her to clear her mind, he asked: "Anaya, about this egg, you said his name was Arthur and that Tal was his protector, do you know what kind of mystical creature was he?"
Anaya was grateful to Liam for changing the subject, she replied: "He told me he was a pure blue phoenix and he was the last of his kind, his whole clan had been exterminated during the last great war four thousand years ago, that's all I know."
Liam and Alec were shocked by this revelation they exclaimed together: "A pure blue phoenix!"
Celia asked because like her, Anaya apparently had no idea what a blue phoenix was: "Why did you react like that, Liam had already deduced that he must be a powerful mystical creature to have formed a telepatic link with Anaya, so what's the matter?"
Liam turned to Alec and asked him: "Babe, you probably know mystical creatures better than I do, can you explain it to them."
Alec smiled at him: "No problem, I'll do it."
Alec turned to the girls and asked them: "What exactly do you know about mystical creatures?"
Anaya replied: "Nothing at all except that the red dragons are the strongest, ah no I forgot that I'm the strongest now, it's always a little weird to think at that especially since my pentagram's mark is still golden I don't even have a silver potential."
Alec reassured her: "Don't worry too much about it right now, your mark will evolve it's only a matter of time."
Then he continued: "Well I'll give you a summary of what you need to know about mystical creatures.
Firstly, nowadays there are only three kinds of mystical creatures that can remain in human form, the condition to be able to have a human form is to have a minimum potential of level 10. These three species are the dragons, the phoenixes and the thunderbirds, all others species, mystical creatures and magic beasts, can only reach level nine at best.
Then there are three kind of dragons without counting the golden dragon. Those are the red dragons, the blue dragons and the green dragons, the latter being the weaker while the former are the stronger.
All dragons can use two natural elements, the green dragons can use wind and earth, the blue dragons can use wind and water, as for the red dragons they can only use wind and fire like the red phoenixes, and the thunderbirds are the only one who can use wind and lightning.
Second, before the great war four thousand years ago, blue phoenixes and some red dragons could use three elements. Blue phoenixes could use wind, water and lightning, while the more powerful red dragons could use wind, fire and lightning.
The blue phoenixes who were the only ones able to counterbalance the power of the most powerful red dragons were exterminated with the latter by the alliance of the demons with the traitors of the red dragons who wished to gain power.
Since the end of this war there has not been a single red dragon capable of using the element of lightning, and blue phoenixes had completely disappeared.
