Chapter 21 - First Snow

Fabro went back to his lab, he was going to try one last time. Well he didn't have a choise in that, he only had one tranquil lake rose left and he had to make it count. He took the preserved material he had already worked on.

He then started the process again, within 5 hours the feeling returned, it was much stronger than before, he ignored it and continued with the extraction process, it took him 17 hours of nonstop extraction, even his qi was running low.

Pure water looking essence was left on the flask, what was left was to mix them in the right ratio and order and get the girl the medicine so he can go home, ignoring this feeling is becoming much harder with every passing second.

He took the essence from the silver moon lily, poured a bit of the silver howlers bone marrow and put the flask on the burner, the two mixed and what was left was a thick white silver substance.

He then poured the green moon essence and boiled it again, the reaction was a bit violent, the flask was shaking nonstop, he then poured the tranquil water essence. It purpose was to bring harmony to the reaction.

It hastened the reaction while reducing the disharmony between the substances making it so the reaction was nolonger so violent. With the tranquil water essence the reaction was done in about 2 hours.

The product was a clay like solid like substance that was silver. He took the substances with lab gloves and molded it into a tiny marble sized object and put it back in the flask.

Within a few minutes the substance was dry and had turned into a pill. He looked at the silver pill with a tinge of green due to the green moon essence, silver moon essence would've been the better option but this will do I guess.

"Notice, new pill created, wood laws increase slightly, water laws increase slightly, you have learnt silver moon intent, you have learnt will of the green moon, please name the pill" moon poison cure I guess, he was really too tired to think about names right now, he was bad at them anyways.

"Noted, moon poison cure I guess has been created" wait what? He checked again and it was really written moon poison cure I guess, heaven grade medicine. He sighed, well no matter.

He went to take a shower, he had been working for hours without rest, not that he smelled, awakened don't have body odor, especially not him since he is technically classified as a weapon.

He didn't even check his board of self before throwing himself in the bath, it was warm and comfortable, he ended up dozing off. After he was done taking the bath he called Yamino, can you go tell that Snow girl we will meet in 5 hours.

Yes, she replied with a flat tone, bowed slightly and left. He sighed, I'm glad this whole shit is over, it time I go home, the feeling inside him was like whispers in his ear now telling him to rush home.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Nobell had been traveling around town, it was jovial, so much so that one might forget it was the prelude of winter. Speaking of winter, the first snow fell today so technically winter has arrived.

She learnt something interesting as well, apparently there was a restaurant selling very effective medicine for the winter death at a very cheap prize and the same restaurant was organising food contests for the poor.

She was certain that was just an excuse to feed them but setting it up as a contest makes their intentions much easier to believe. In the empire, it was really hard to believe in the kindness of people, this was an all man for themselves place.

Only family and friends would support you, even they might turn on you though so nothing was a guarantee. She was really embarrassed though, they were the rulers and governors of this county yet a mere restaurant has shown more care for their people in days than they had in years.

It made her feel terrible to be honest, like she and her whole family had failed their people, that is something she will have to change when she get back home but for now, she could enjoy the moment and hope the entire county would be like this.

It seemed this restaurant not only provided food and medicine but it also brought the people together. It was a rare and wonderful sight, one she wished she could see everyday but alas, things never go your way.

She saw that fool again, together with a guy that had a tiger tattoo on his arm. Standing infront of them was a young woman, the man with a tattoo was hulking over her. The woman cowered.

You stepped in the young masters way and wasted his valuable time, how do you intend to fix that? I'm sorry, I'm sorry young master, the woman said with tears in her eyes,she was kneeling down.

I asked how you going to fix it, what are you willing to do to compensate? The woman looked at him without answering. Strip down, the man said with a lecherous grin. Nobell could tell the man was a guard, he was wearing a guard uniform.

She felt disgust and anger rise up inside her. Before she could intervene though,a man stood infront of the woman. Let her be Tiger. The so called young master who was not paying attention to the entire situation this whole time finally shifted his attention to the man.

He had interest in his eyes, the one humans have when looking at cute animals, he did not even put the man in his eyes. It seemed you have grown balls boy, you disappear for a few weeks and you come back thinking you can talk back to me?

It seemed I need to remind you of your place. The man was obviously an early stage initiate but his opponent was also at that realm although his seemed to be relatively new.

It looks like a fight was about to break out. Is that how you treat people you supposed to protect? She finally interfered. All eyes turned towards her. Who are you?, you better shut your mouth before I... Greetings my lady, they heard the young master say with a bow before Tiger could finish.

I asked you a question son of the flame, is this how you treat the people you supposed to protect? Forgive me my lady. Tiger was now sweating bullets watching the interaction.

It seemed you are deaf as well or should I ask your father if this is how he taught his family to run this town. Vulcar shook a little. No my lady I was foolish. Then apologize. I apologize. Not to me, to her.

He frowned but turned around and looked at the woman. I apologize for not teaching my subordinate well, I will make sure he never does this again. Than won't be necessary, she said before the woman could talk.

She turned and looked at the guard, he was sweating even though it was snowing. On my name Nobell Snow I hereby declare you... Tiger, she heard the other man say, Tiger, stripped of your position, you shall be imprisoned and wait to stand trial.

When people heard the name Snow, they all had surprises on their faces, they thought this lady was from the city the town was under but to think she was from the Snow family. Everybody went on their knees afterwards including Tiger and the other guard.

Only Vulcar stubbornly stood and only bowed a little. What your name?she asked the guard. Frank my lady. Well Frank, congratulations, from this day forth you are the head guard.
