Chapter 11 Unorthodox Method

It was still in the middle of the day.

Zick headed towards the dining hall to have his lunch.

While he entered the Dining hall, he could sniff out the disgusting smell of the felix root lingering in the air.

He had just created his Mana nerves in the morning so he hadn't told Butler Von to stop cooking food with felix root just yet.

Looking at Butler Von standing beside the dining table with wide eyes staring blankly at him.

Zick flashed a smile towards Butler von like an innocent kid matching his appearance.

Butler Von has been getting criticised by the maids and the chef in the kitchen for a while now.

He ignored their complaints by hearing it from one ear and letting it out from the other.

Even if they complain they can't do anything more than that. His position was higher than them as he is a butler of an heir of the Melvix family.

Doing what he was ordered to do by his lord was more important than worrying about the worries of some unimportant people.

Following the order of your lord comes above everything else.

This is what he has been taught from a young age. No matter what it is he will complete the task given to him.

Even if he didn't like his current lord and wanted to serve someone else, he will still always obey the order given to him faithfully.

All he had to do was follow the orders, that's all, nothing more nothing less.

But right now for the first time in his life he didn't know what he should do or feel.

'He became a lowest rank knight.....but how?'

He almost felt like he was dreaming.

Butler Von is a high rank assassin so he could feel the mana nerves in Zick body more clearer than anyone else right now.

"Throw it away"

Hearing Zick talking him, he snapped out of his stupor.

"yes..?"

'Throw what away...?'

Butler Von became confused about what Zick was trying to say.

"I am telling you to throw the food on the table away."

Zick said with his arm crossed as he sat on the luxurious chair.

"....."

Not asking the reason behind it, butler Von took the food on the table and handed it over to one of the maids who took it with trembling hands.

The maid couldn't bear the smell of the felix root and started running somewhere to throw it away.

Seeing all this, Zick still had a smile on his face like an innocent kid.

"From now on there is no need to cook my food with felix root anymore" Zick didn't care even if someone found out that he used Felix roots to become a knight. It didn't held much value and the chances of someone looking into it was also low.

Butler Von nodded his head in understanding.

"Hmm....then bring the food in my room and....bring something that tastes good."

Zick thought of eating something good to celebrate becoming a lowest rank knight.

"yes young master"

Answering to Zick, Butler Von left the dining hall.

Zick also went to his room and sat upon the bed.

"sigh....this stupid etiquettes...."

In his aristocratic behaviour classes he had been learning how to conduct himself like a proper noble.

It literally applies to everything.

The way he walks, the way he eats, the way he greets others.....

It is almost endless, learning all this Zick found himself annoyed to no end.

'I am an heir of the Melvix family so I will only have to treat the other Duke nobles with respect so why do I have to learn all this.....'

Even the way he walks has changed a lot from before. It has become a lot refined and graceful.

While having these thoughts, time passed by and then around 20 minutes later Butler Von knocked on his door.

A smile appeared on Zick's face as he ordered Butler Von to enter.

With a tray of food like always Butler Von entered his room. The only difference was that there wasn't any disgusting smell coming from the food like before.

When butler Von placed the tray on the table of his room, Zick could see meat which looked delicious.

'even the smell of the meat is good'

"Just wait in the corner of the room until I finish my food, I have a order for you"

Saying such an outrageous thing, Zick started eating his food.

Butler Von walked to the corner of the room without making any sound and stood there like a statue.

'that tasted new....it must be one of the dishes from this world'

Finishing eating his food, Zick kept the eating instrument back in the tray and beckoned butler Von to come near him.

"Now hear me closely, the thing we talk here should not be leaked out no matter what, that's an order"

Hearing Zick's serious voice, his face became serious too.

"The fire crystal poison, water crystal poison, mana crystal poison and the heart of any 10 mammalian monsters.....I need all this four things" 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

It was one of the unorthodox methods to increase someone's strength and potential mentioned in the novel.

But Zick, wasn't bothered about it, if it could increase his strength without facing any setbacks which might be serious, he would do it without any hesitation.

"....will any monster which is a mammal type work?"

Butler Von said with a cold voice equally matching his face right now.

"Yes any mammal monster will do, I will leave it up to you now, collect all this in one week"

Zick said with a smile which didn't match a person who was ordering poison at all.

"yes.....I shall collect it within one week"

Saying this, butler Von left the room.

The first three items in the things listed by Zick are poison.

The fire crystal poison is found in the fire crystal mines, it is a poison which could even kill high rank knights if not treated with an antidote the day they were poisoned.

Fire crystal poison is in the form of small crystals just like fire crystals but they will break immediately if a little force is applied to it by hand.

Fire crystals boost the power of any fire type magic.

The water crystal poison is the same as fire leaving the fact that the poison is in the form of water.

The water crystal boosts the power of water type magic.

Mana crystal poison is the rarest but with Melvix family wealth it could easily be brought.

Mana crystals sell for a lot of money in almost all the kingdoms.

In the Cravion kingdom, one mana crystal can be sold up to 3 platinum coins.

The form of currency in Cravion kingdom is dels

One bronze coin= 500 dels

one silver coin= 5000 dels

one gold coin= 10,000 dels

One platinum coin= 100,000 dels

30,000 dels is enough for a normal citizen of Cravion kingdom to live without worry for one month which is 3 gold coins.

Zick knew the information about an undiscovered mana crystal mine from the novel and He planned on mining it in the future to make a lot of money.

Thinking this, his mood brightened a little.
