Chapter 428: 454 [Bonus chapter] A New Lady Under His Wings

One second ago, Arthur and Delphine were in the village, now 3km away, close to Delphine's hut. She knew he was powerful, but teleporting was incredible, something she believed only mighty beings could do.

"Is this the right direction?" Arthur asked, looking at the surrounding area, which was all green.

"Uh, yes. It is close to here. We can walk the rest of the way," Delphine said.

Arthur did not mind walking a little; most of the way was done in one second, so walking 150 meters was not a big deal!

Delphine led the way, moving past the muddy road, walking inside the forest, through the bushes and the trees. Her hut was well-hidden, and ordinary people would never be able to find it!

"This is the place! Pretty, right?"

The hut entered its sights. It was all made of wood, but many vines were hanging on the walls and roof, making it look gorgeous and similar to a witch's house. What caught Arthur's attention was the roof, which was rounded, different from the ones he was used to.

"Pretty place," he said, waiting for Delphine to move first.

He did not want to be rude by barging inside her house without her going first, so Arthur waited by the side while Delphine opened the front door, and both went inside.

All the furniture was also made of wood, and countless books were Delphine.

"Let me get a potion for you to see," Delphine said, moving toward a scattered around the house, and herbs too! It was not the cleanest of places, but that messy look was the identity of an alchemist like Delphine.

"Let me get a potion for you to see," Delphine said, moving toward a staircase that led down.

The underground area was her basement and where she brewed her potions. Arthur sat on the chair in the living room, waiting for her, who did not take long to be back carrying a flask.

It was a flask with a greenish color, not appealing to the eye, but Arthur learned not to judge it before trying it.

"Here, this is a healing mixture I made," Delphine said.

She went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife, made a small cut in her left arm, and then gulped the potion afterward. Before long, her scratch had vanished, and she seemed alright.

"Not that good of a potion, but it is a start, I know many other recipes too!"

"Can I see you brewing a potion?"

Delphine got a little anxious but decided to say yes, and they both went to the basement area.

There were many alchemy tools down there. Unfortunately, these tools were not the best ones could have — money was a problem for Delphine — but these tools were not shit either.

They were decent enough for someone at her level. She went to the basement area beside the alchemy tools, grabbing some herbs to brew a potion.

Then, Delphine turned on the cauldron using her hand. Her main element was fire, which made it easier for her to practice alchemy.

She tried her best to control the flames, cutting the herbs and putting them inside the cauldron. Arthur watched everything by the side, and although he did not know the properties of the plants she was using, he could still tell she was messing up a little with the temperature.

"Some of the ingredients are losing power. If she can learn how to control the flame better, then her potions would increase in quality by a big margin," Arthur thought.

The process took around thirty minutes, and when she was done with it, Delphine smiled, showing Arthur the flask she had made.

"This is a potion to give one peace of mind, try it out!"

Arthur gulped the flask in one go. He did not think Delphine would try to poison him, so there was no need to concern about the potion's true power. Also, even if she wanted to, it would be impossible.

Arthur felt his troubled thoughts moving away when the liquid went down his stomach. It was a good feeling, and perhaps it did not make that much of a difference because of how sharp his mind was.

"This is a good potion. Can you tell me more about the ingredients? Also, I have a few pointers for you…."

She gladly shared all she knew about the plants, showing them to Arthur so he could link their appearance to their effects.

For someone like him, it was an easy task to remember these things. His memory was beyond perfect, and in less than one hour, Arthur knew all Delphine knew about the plants.

Of course, he would compensate her, and he did so by sharing his knowledge about the mistakes she made during the brewing process.

"I see," Delphine looked down, "if only I had enough talent to attend a magic school. I heard that Tracy is way younger than me and is going."

A wave of bad feelings stroked her. Arthur looked at her and wondered if it was okay to help her too!

He already had Tracy to take care of, and now someone else?

"Well, if I help her become a decent mage, then Tracy would have someone to take care of her," Arthur thought.

But he could not share the Dragon Meditation Technique, so Arthur wanted to change that to something from the Blood Monarch.

Why? Well, it seemed more assertive at that point, and why not turn into a Demon God rather than a Dragon God?

"A Demonic Dragon God? Cool!!! Wait, I also have a giant bloodline and a dormant phoenix…."

He touched Delphine's shoulder and said, "I can help you with that."

She looked up, staring at his face, confused. Why would someone as mighty as Arthur help someone like her? Who did not have any talent whatsoever?

"You know I am training Tracy, right? I will accompany her to the city and care for her while she gets used to school. I don't think getting a spot for you in the same magic school would be a problem for me."

"Would you do that for me?"

Delphine could not hold it as she hugged Arthur. He felt her soft boobs on his chest and wondered if it was okay to do that.
