Rose and Luna who came out of their shock during Elaine's explanation asked, "What are the choices for the synthetic and natural treasures that the winners can choose from?"
Elaine answered the question saying, "For synthetic treasures you have the choice of basic or intermediate affinities. For basic affinities there are Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Dark, and Light. For intermediate affinities there is Ice, Lightning, Shadow, Metal, Illusion, and Nature.
For the natural treasure there is only one, but it is a more common but special one since it is only grown by our Family of Sin in fact it's grown personally by Andrea herself for the trial so only three have grown."
"What makes it special and more common then if its grown by her?" Nia asked
Elaine smiled as she answered Nia, "It's more common to us and not anywhere else because it is a fruit and we hold the only known seeds to grow the treasure and the treasure is only a percent of the legacy of the first Sins themselves that I and the others have access to.
What makes it special is that only Sin candidates can consume the treasure and anyone else that tries to eat it will in worse case die or best case suffer from losing a current random affinity they have. Even if I ate it since I'm no longer a candidate like you I would end up in one of those scenarios."
"What affinity does this fruit give?" Nia asked as she looked like a curious cat to Elaine.
"The fruit is called the Chaotic Fruit of Sin and I know it is not the best name but the one who named everything clearly has no imagination or creativity. The fruit itself however is quite powerful since it can only be eaten once and the affinity it gives you is random. You could get a basic affinity like Fire or a intermediate one like Ice or even an advanced affinity like Space. It all depends on how well the fruit grown there is even an off chance that you could get an affinity that is categorized as special meaning you could have an affinity that directly correlates with your Sin.
An example being Nora the Sin of Wrath when she was a candidate won the same fruit in her trials and gained a special affinity known as multiply. Multiply works as it sounds she can multiply many thinks such as her strength, defense, intelligence, agility, destructiveness and so on. While special affinities are much more mysterious and powerful than normal affinities they are infinitely harder to train. When Nora first got multiply she could only increase basic stats and at only 1.01x. It seemed weak at first but she saw the potential and trained it the most now she can multiply many things at once with her multiplier being over 1.5x."
Nia was amazed at how Elaine described Nora with with respect. It made her have a good starting opinion of the Sin of Wrath, but she was also slightly jealous that she heard the fondness in Elaine's voice.
Nia got up again and before Rose or Luna could grab her, she sat down on Elaine's lap surprising her.
Elaine was surprised but had a bigger smile on than she did before that Nia noticed. She pulled Nia in closer wrapping her arms around her like she was hugging a doll. She rested her head on top of Nia's head and looked at the maid's eyes that were growing lifeless by the second and thought to herself.
'Damn, good thing those bodies aren't their main ones or I'd be dead and wouldn't be able to spend time with Nia.' She inwardly chuckled at the thought.
She was confused at why the lifeless eyes regained life an looked down at Nia who was wearing a silly smile at being hugged by her.
"Since the trial is in a week I'll be staying in the mansion until the end of the trial. The other Sins will also arrive tomorrow and we will wait the week and anyone not back on time will be disqualified and I'm sure you know what that means. Isn't that right Nia?." Elaine said with a smile as she looked down at the little girl in her lap.
Nia nodded her head as she brought her hand to her chin and replied with, "Since it is a Trial of Sin anyone who does not reach the mansion in time has their Sin energy drained and pooled together with the rest basically killing them."
Rose and Luna were shocked that Nia knew this information and immediately glared at Elaine who had a proud smile on her face.
"Will you be spending the week with me Elaine?" Nia asked as she looked at Elaine with expecting eyes.
