"W-What do you mean by that?" Adeline asked in disbelief as she looked at Leon.
"I mean what I said. You can take your revenge on her and get your brother back—without getting him killed," Leon replied with a smile.
"H-How?" Adeline asked with a serious expression, as she immediately grabbing Leon's shoulders tightly.
"Well... in order to tell you that, I'll need some information first. Like, what type of potion are they telling you to make for them?" Leon asked, his expression neutral.
"It's a transformation potion... T-They tell me to make it using some unknown herb they get every month from some trader.
It helps them maintain their ears and human-like aura. So that, no one can sense it and identify—"
"It's a fucking potion," Leon cut in, his eyes widening. "Artifacts and illusion magic can be revealed easily to mages and even swordsmen.
That's why they haven't been caught even in a five star noble household—because they're using potions to keep their appearance human-like.
Potions aren't that easy to detect... They are fucking intelligent." He spoke with a shocked expression as the realization hit him.
"H-How can I save my brother? Please tell me now," Adeline asked, her voice desperate as she looked into Leon's eyes.
"Where are they holding your brother? Do you know?" Leon asked with a puzzled look.
"I-I don't know... but she says that with just a signal, she can get him killed at any moment, so I thought they are keeping him here in this mansion but I never found him... I checked every single room of this mansion." Adeline replied, visibly shaken.
'He has to be inside this mansion if she is threatening to make that big of a statement. I will make a skill and find him but first, I need to get all the information, I can get from her.' Leon thought in his mind.
"Don't worry. I'll find your brother. Can you show me where you make the transformation potion for them?" Leon asked with a neutral expression.
"Y-Yes... Come," Adeline said, quickly moving an old chair aside and ducking under a hidden section of the room.
Leon followed her, stepping into a concealed space. His eyes scanned the alchemy setup on a big wooden table—glass flasks filled with differently colored liquids burned over candle flames, and various herbs lay scattered across the surface. Vials of pure mana were set to one side, along with several empty ones.
"This is the potion that they use to transform," Adeline said, holding up a green-colored vial.
Without wasting any time, Leon activated his skill.
[Name: Transformation Potion]
[Description: When used, this potion will transform the consumer's face and body into whoever they want for the next 3 hours.
This potion is made out of a very rare herb, 'Alcovi's Roots,' mainly found in the depths of the Elven Forests.]
"How many of these do you make every day?" Leon asked with a neutral expression as he looked at Adeline.
"About ten vials... every day." Adeline replied.
'If both of them take five potions each... that means they can only maintain their human form for 15 hours.
Meaning they sleep in their elf form... that's interesting information,' Leon thought to himself.
"So, tell me something... What would happen if you added aphrodisiac to this potion? It wouldn't affect the transformation properties, right?" Leon asked as he looked at Adeline with a serious expression.
"I-I don't think there would be any visible effects on the transformation itself...
But the sexual drive of a male elf is almost zero, so it won't affect her brother.
But a female elf's sex drive—it's really weak on the outside, but inside... it's really strong.
If you gave her aphrodisiac, it could turn her into—"
"A needy, sex-craving bitch?" Leon finished with a perverted smile.
"Y-You could say that, and— wait, are you planning to have sex with her?" Adeline asked, confused.
"That's the plan... I read somewhere that female elves can get addicted to sex really easily.
And I'm not going to give her normal sex... I'll give her something she won't be able to handle—and definitely won't be able to live without.
She will become my obedient sex slave immediately as I swing my dic-"
"I-I-I understand... Don't tell me the details." Adeline spoke with a red embarrassed face.
"Here, add this aphrodisiac to her potions." Leon spoke as he pulled out a vile filled with a pink liquid in it.
"No, no... that aphrodisiac is for human females. I have something that will help you even more," Adeline said, walking over to an old almirah and opening it.
As the old cabinet opened, Leon spotted dozens of herbs inside—some he recognized from the book pictures, most he didn't.
"This will be the most effective..." Adeline muttered as she pulled out a very small vial of purple-colored liquid. The amount inside barely looked like one or two drops.
Leon immediately used his skill.
[Name: Moonrush Aphrodisiac]
[Description: Moonrush Aphrodisiac is one of the most powerful lust-inducing substances ever recorded. Even a single whiff of its fumes is said to drive a dragon mad with desire.
It's made from Moonrush flowers,...] Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Holy fucking shit... where did you get that?" Leon asked with a serious and shocked expression.
"What? Oh, this... I made it," Adeline said casually.
"How the fuck can you make this? Doesn't it need Redleaf Plant extract and the sweat of a succubus?" Leon asked.
"No... it needs moonflower as well," Adeline replied with a straight face.
"How did you get them? These materials aren't easy to find, Redleaf Plant is an extinct plant." Leon said, staring at her.
"Oh... from the black market," she replied casually.
"What !? How do you know about the black market?" Leon asked, now seriously curious.
"Every good alchemist knows about the black market," Adeline replied with a smile.
"Where is it? Can you tell me?" Leon asked.
"I can't," Adeline said, her expression flat.
"Why not?" he asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Because no one knows where it really is. In order to get to the black market, you need magical transportation sand.
You throw the sand on the ground, and you're taken there." She pulled out a very small pouch of black sand from the cabinet and tossed it towards Leon. "Here. Take it as a gift... for saving my brother."
