Darius did not keep the duo waiting for long. He took out a pot of Lunar Dew, making the two older men quake in their boots like young boys before a cougar.
They had a lot of time to theorize what kind of resources Darius might have those in his inner circle to strengthen them as he had done for Jeanne.
Would it be special fruits that could increase their stats or grant them special abilities? Perhaps a scroll that did the same when used?
Perhaps he had found some potions to strengthen them? Or could it be some ancient tomes that would slowly allow them to hone themselves over time?
However, the last thing they had expected was to see the most priceless and blessed item to exist in Faust, Lunar Dew. Especially not in such purity and definitely not in such a quantity.
Lunar Dew, it was a mythical liquid that legends claimed was the God's dream choice of liquid.
Someone with heaven-defying luck might find some once in a millennium, but even then it would have to be measured in drops, diluted to increase the quantity. It couldn't be helped, the amount of Lunar Dew that occurred naturally was too scarce.
Naturally occurring Lunar Dew could only be found in places with the purest of Life Energy, which received pure moonlight for the entire year, but were furthermore enriched attributeless Divine Energy. Only Gods would produce that type of Energy, so the most likely place was where one's dead body was present.
Even then, it would require a thousand years at the minimum for a single drop to form... for something that Darius had in his backyard.
In comparison, the amount back in the Divine Glade was equivalent to a stockpile of trillions of years.
And yet, a pot of pure Lunar Dew had been fished out by the young man as if it was mere common drinking water.
Nicholas and Elijah looked at the bounty and Darius over and over again, unable to reconcile why Darius would bring this out for them?
If they had access to something so precious it was unlikely they would share it with even the closest of their family members.
As for giving to subordinates? That would be ludicrous!
So just what kind of purpose did Darius have for giving them this?
Seeing their confusion, Darius smiled. He was pleased that instead of rushing to drink it like greedy idiots, they rather paused and tried to understand the reasoning behind this despite their open desire.
Then again, that was exactly why he had chosen to entrust those very important positions to these two older men.
This wasn't some form of nepotism, but him having tasted their skill and wisdom, which would serve well in his budding territory.
"Do not think too much about it. This is exactly what you think it is, and it is what has allowed Jeanne to reach her current stage. It is the best thing I can give you for your current situation." Darius spoke.
"I do not wish to insult you, but I shall be frank for a moment. The two of you are old and both of you have burned out most of your potential, relying on resources to slowly increase your prowess. Nicholas is better in this regard, but only slightly."
"I understand that it couldn't be helped given Andrato's prior situation, but the damage has been done and we have to heal you first. This should infuse some energy into your cells, resolve any hidden injuries and defects you've accumulated throughout the years and optimize your body, allowing you to become Masters."
Darius patted the pot. "Split it in half and drink one bottle every day, at whichever time you feel like. Do not try drinking it all at once, as even I won't be able to salvage whatever might be left of you otherwise. There is no need to be hasty, just take small doses so that your body can accept the help over time rather than all at once."
The two men nodded in understanding. After all, not everyone was like Jeanne who was both young and possessed a powerful bloodline. She also had much more damage than Nicholas or Elijah due to her resurrection ability.
The duo bowed deeply before splitting the contents evenly between themselves. They then left to carry out Darius' orders and began preparing to take their doses every day in hopes that their power would rise.
Darius watched them leave and then called a few others like Jorge and Portia over. He didn't give the younger generation Lunar Dew as they didn't need it, but rather transmuted resources that would do wonders to increase one's power.
It had zero use to Darius, Gunner, and Xela for obvious reason, but to natural Faustians under their own power system, it was just below the likes of Lunar Dew.
Once they received it, they were naturally excited and thankful. With this, they could quickly climb to the Adept then the Master stage. If they could get a constant infusion of this, it might not even take a year to become Masters.
This was a speed that would scare any normal person. Portia, Jorge, and Derek, despite Awakening with Darius's resources and having some help from him, had taken 5 years to become Journeymen.
Jeanne had been labeled a talent because the then Princess had reached Journeyman when she had been 13, but she had also been practicing ever since she was 5 years old.
For others, the duration was naturally far longer than that depending on their talent and their access to resources.
Take Foldo, the fellow was past his fifties and had still been an Amateur before Darius had met him. For others, it would be even worse.
After sorting out his key subordinates, Darius didn't do anything else. He didn't inspect the dungeon, walk around the core area nor head out to play around.
He simply stayed peacefully in his tower while his people worked for him. Patiently was waiting for the special event that had been announced, spending his daily 200 CP to prepare many precious resources to increase their vault.
As for what would be sold on the day, he had long prepared all of that so there would be no problem. He had factored in a great many things during his seclusion, so it was imperative that things followed the general outline.
What Darius spent most of his time making were HoloBraces. After all, Darius planned to create a digital empire and everything would have to be done using the HoloBrace while in his city.
That way, he would be able to monitor and control everyone once they stepped into his borders and even beyond!
