Alexander frowns when he heard Don's instructions hence a four times worth of killing intent was release "I applogize Master Grid of this offended you. Please let Aster work and I'll tell the reason behind it." He explained profusely as beads of sweat can be seen on his forehead. Alexander just nodded and didn't say anything and retract his killing intent. Don sigh in relief and asked Aster to continue with the preparation.
After Aster laid the formations, Don release his sensory skill and when he confirmed that everything was in place properly he can now breathe comfortably and sit in front of Alexander "Master Grid, please forgive my rudeness earlier, the reason i did that was related to your small token." He explained. Alexander raise his brow in question "I know you are confuse about it master Grid but to cut the long story short, our continent was on the verge of losing the war hence a ridiculous treaty was signed to avoid our race destruction." Don explained in a heavy heart.
Alexander frowned even deeper as he remember last time that the continent is on the verge of winning the stalemate. "I know what your thinking master Grid, while it was true that we were on the verge of winning the stalemate with the south continent, we were ambushed by the east continent hence the situation to that we have right now." Don explained.
In this world, there are different races as well. In the central continent, it was the territory of the humans, on the south continent, it was the haven of the demonfolks, at the east continent, it was also known as the beast paradise which the beastmen or halfing territory. North continent houses the snow and wood elves amd at the west continent where volcanoes are active, it houses the dwarves, the giants and the ever legendary dragons. The North and West Continent are neutral continent while the south and centeal continent are always at odds. Now with the east continent's breaking the balance, the central continent is in the verge of annihilation.
"So what was the ridiculous treaty that was signed?" Alexander asked. Don face darkened "the treaty stated that the war will temporarily stop for 5 years and in those 5 years, the Central Continent will need to pay tribute of wild beast meat, not just ordinary wild beqst meat but the meat of an elemental beast." Then Alexander asked "how much meat are they requiring?" Don raises his hand and shows one finger. Alexander breath a sigh of relief "so it's only 100 tons a year?" Don shake his head "it's 1000 per year a total of 5000 tons for the next 5 years and after this 5 years is finished, the war will continue." Don stated.
When Alexander hear it, he was shocked "what happen to the platinum masters that the central continent back bone?" He asked. Don sighed "the 3 emperors of the 3 empires was struck by the shamans curses of the beastfolks hence they're status are currenly unknown hence when the treaty was signed only the 10 Gold rankers and some of our Silver rankers were present that is why we are unable to negotiate a better terms."
Alexander thought for a moment and guessed what happen to the emperors "I guess this is really fate in the works huh." He said to himself. He stared at Don amd said "oya~ apparently we are really in danger maybe this why the heavens led me on creatinf this item." Then suddenly, 5 small vials contains a single drop and blue liquid. As Don was about to check the product he was stopped by Alexander "This is a very important item right now little Don, be careful." Don gulped and nodded and gently pick up the small vial and just open the lid a bit. When he smelled the aroma, he brain suddenly stop working and Alexander notice it so he immediately close the lid and took the vial on Don's hand.
After a few minutes, Don was able to recover from his status and he now felt refresh that he felt that he can work continuously without rest for the next seven days. "What was that master Grid?! I felt like I was in heaven!" He exclaimed. "Hoho~ this is the product that i just created, I call it Time Elixir. A drop of these elixir can cure any poison, curses, diseases. And after consumption, it would also bring the users to their prime condition for 5 few minutes." Alexander explained. Then he brought out a full vial of the potion "while the full vial, will bring the user to its 'prime'condition permanently." He stated emphasizing on the word prime.
Don was confuse as to what Alexander was indicating however after a few moments, he was enlightened and was shocked that he stutter "d-do you mean ma-master Grid tha-that this full vial will make the user go ba-back to his or her prime age and power?" He wants to clear it. Alexander didn't said anything and just smiled. As per the system description and Pixie's explanation this was the function of the potion. Suddenly, he remove his transformation technique and turned into a young man and when Don saw this, his hair stood up and was scared to his wits "As you can see little Don, I've already tried it myself that is why I only have this vial and these 5 drops here." He said.
Don imagined what would happen to his auction if this items where to appear, and after some thoughts, he cannot imagine what would happen specially with this effect, it will cause a bloody war and the Kingdom might not be able to take it. Alexander knows what Don is thinking that is why he said "Don't worry, I will be the one who will host the auction for this items if you would allow me. I think with my reputation as one of the godfathers of Alchemy, they should show me some face right?" Don was thrilled when he heard "Of course master Grid! We will be thrilled if you would be the one who will host to auction your items. If this would be the case, we will need to push back the auction for another 2 days. We will be sending an invitation to all of the Kingdom and Empires so that we can make the most out of your appearance." He immediately instructed Aster to do this and nodded. She immediately go out to start the preparation of the auction.
After a few more minutes of talking, Alexander said his goodbye to Don and went back to the inn.
