Vaelric sat down, staring at the man. "Old man, any update?"
The old man sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "You might have scared the update out of me."
Vaelric leaned forward, his eyes sharp. "Don't mess with me..."
The old man chuckled as he stroked his beard. "Okay, yes, I've found the solution."
He stopped chuckling as he stared at Vaelric. "I've found a way for vampires to utilize mana..."
"Good," Vaelric said. "That sure took a while."
The old man sighed. "Like I said earlier, it wasn't going to be easy, and before I forget, there's still a chance that it might fail, and if it does....."
The old man paused, stroking his beards.
Vaelric squinted his eyes. "And if it fails, what will happen?"
The old man stared at Vaelric before replying, "you might die."
Vaelric leaned back on his chair, his expression still normal as if he wasn't even concerned about what the old man just said.
