"Is the trouble at the palace your doing?"
Nicholas II's spiritual body frowned tightly, "You charged into the palace and killed to obtain the Wizard's bone marrow?"
"...I'm starting to regret it now."
"Regret what?"
"Regret that I should not have passed the Philosopher's Stone technology to you."
Nicholas II glared at Bernadino, very dissatisfied.
He had not anticipated Bernadino would commit such an outrageous act.
To put it bluntly… with so many dark wizards in the Royal Capital, would it kill you to pick another one to murder?
Even if you want better quality spinal marrow, there are silver-tier Transcendents in the Royal Capital.
The Philosopher's Stones created by silver-tier Transcendents are already good enough for seven or eight uses. Each use lasts up to the standard battle duration of five minutes—must you resort to such a bloody and extreme method of storming the palace and directly harvesting spines?
