2742 Sand
“63%.” Said Lady Vivian seeing the number above the formation; clear happiness is evident in her eyes. She is ecstatic, and why wouldn’t she be? We have finally found a thing that we need to save her sister.
The suitability is good, but I would still prefer it if it had been over 70%, but beggars can’t be choosers. It is already our great luck that we have found an earth elemental resource of origin which we could use to heal the Grand Commander.
“Since you have found the material you have needed, you can healing hera now, right?” asked Lady Vivian; there was so much intensity behind her emotions that I was barely able to stop myself from nodding.
“We have found the suitable material, but we barely know anything about it; I did not even know its name, much less the deeper properties which I would like to know before we could start healing,” I said and turned to Lady Angela.
She is the most learned among all the Grand Lords; if anyone has an idea about the sand, it would be her.
“I have no idea what it is, but I have already sent the missive to all the organizations. If they have any information about it, we will know soon,” she said, and I nodded. My clone is still doing research on the sand and learning something new every minute.
Still, it might take days before I could understand enough intricacies of it to use it to begin healing, a time we did not have.
Every second, the condition of the Grand Commanders condition is getting worse; the more time we lose, the lesser chances of our success would be, and we have already lost quite a lot of time, but as I had said, this is an extremly delicate process, the more I know about it, the better chances of success would be.
“Well then, I will go and rease”
“This sand known is called sand of araeth,” said Lady Angela cutting me off; “Were you able to find out about it?” I asked. “Yes, one of our artificers has a book with the list of powerful earth elemental resources, and this sand holds one of the chapters in it,” she informed.
I opened my mouth and was about to ask more questions about it when a teleportation formation materialized around above her delicate palm, and a huge tome big as my hand appeared, which she threw toward me.
“The information of sand in on chapter twenty-seven,” she said as I caught the tome in my hand, which by the way quite heavy.
I opened the tome, and immediately a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face; the tome was magical; it had far more pages than one could see, which is a good thing because it means I might be able to get a lot of information about the sand.
Soon, I opened chapter twenty-seven, as lady angela had mentioned, and it was the chapter dedicated to this sand.
The sand is named the sand of Azaeth that Lady Angela had mentioned; it is from a cosmic storm names Azaeth, which could consume everything in its path, living and non-living. It consumes the whole world and celestial bodies like the sun and even black holes.
It is called a scourge, and whenever it appears, it brings distractions; it is said, one of the most powerful of Azaeth, had even consumed a titan.
“That idiot sought his own death; it had tried to consume the most powerful azaeth storm ever appeared despite not having the capability and ended up getting consumed by it,”
“Though its death brought more benefits than sorrow; the resource we have obtained from his failed merged had helped us a lot in a big way,”
Said the hidden being when I was reading the line about the titan, and its words couldn’t help but shock me but also scared me.
This was not just information but also a warning of what could happen if something went wrong. Thankfully, it did not say it was impossible.
‘Do you have any safe way I could use this resource?” I asked, but as usual, I did not get any reply from it and turned back to the tome.
The information in the tome is more detailed than I had expected, which made me extremly happy. The more detailed the information is, the greater help it would be to me. It took me nearly an hour to finish reading the chapter; the single chapter had more than seven thousand pages.
“Lady Angela, would you mind if I borrow this tome for a few days?” I asked, “It is fine,” she replied. I nodded and turned to lady Vivian.
“Lady Vivian, please help me collect these resources,” I said and sent her the list. “We will begin healing tomorrow evening,”
“Couldn’t you start healing hera now?” she asked. “No, Lady Vivian, I could not,” I said with a sigh. “It is a delicate process, and seeing the odds are already against us, I would like to be as prepared as possible for greater success,”
“I understand,” she said softly as she turned toward her sister, who was still in meditation.
I talked to her and Grand Lord a few minutes before I went back home; I have canceled all the appointments for the day and tomorrow. It will definitely increase my workload to a back-breaking level, but I have no other choice; Grand Lord is too important with her elemental body.
If I succeed, it will be a matter of time before the Grand Commander advances into the ranks of Grand Lords, and we need Grand Lords.
Saving her would be a hard task, with how far things have gone, but it is not my first time doing something like that; I have saved the twins at the time, and I barely had any understanding about the elemental bodies and the cores, but I had succeeded in saving them.
I will succeed in saving Grand Commander, too; the problem is more complicated than the twins, but I have more data now, a treasure trove of them, which increases my chances of success.
As I reached my home, I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes, and soon, I was in my core, and in front of me was a bowl of sand. My clone is already doing its experiment, and now I will begin mine.
I will start with testing whether the information I have read is right or not. It is not like I do not believe the information in the book, but I like to verify it.
An hour later, a Grandmaster from the crystal domination came, bringing all the resources I had asked for, and they have brought in double the amount.
I am quite surprised by the speed at which they have brough those resources, the list was quite long, and not all of them could have been present in the crystal domination vaults, but they still gathered it within an hour.
I only slept for two hours that night and took an hour of a break for eating and showering before entering back into my core.
As the evening of the next day rolled, I opened my eyes, and there was a smile on my face.
