Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

New World Kingdoms[7]

[Ace POV],

The necklace on the spearman's neck triggered a series of thoughts in my mind as I subconsciously touched the necklace on my own neck.

It wasn't the same as the spearman with the Dawn Empire insignia, but it was in the shape of a cross.

And, unlike most necklaces, this one was made with rope and only the pendant was made with silver colored black.

My mother brought it from a pawn shop and it has been with me since I was a child.

It's amazing how it manages to stay on my neck despite everything I've been through since I awoke to the apocalypse.

Well, I tend to ignore the fact that I have it on my neck because it has kind of just turned into my skin since childhood and has never left my neck, even when I take a bath.

But the issue now isn't about chains or pendants; it's about whether or not I should help the man.

For one thing, just because I was interested in the king behind the spearman doesn't mean I had to help him.

For all I know, my assumption could be incorrect and this man simply happened to be wearing the necklace in some way, but there was something about him that piqued my interest.

It was better to say I was going to use him for my little experiment rather than that I was going to help him.

I wasn't Emma, who could heal someone in the same condition as the spearman with a single quick chant, nor did I have any healing powers, but I did have something that could help him: my pills.

I can only make two types of pills right now: basic health pills and basic mana pills.

It was just these two.

What I don't know is whether it's good or bad to only be able to concoct two pills in 8 days, and of these two pills, the only one whose effect I've seen more than once is the basic mana pill.

Because of Emma, there wasn't really enough opportunity to use the basic health pill, and right now in front of me was a lab rat that was already ready to go.

Hmmm

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to refer to my fellow race as a lab rat, but whatever.

As I was thinking of this, I bent down to look at the spearman, who was leaning against the tunnel wall, as we looked each other in the eyes.

For one thing, I was calm, but the spearman, who appeared to be a middle-aged man but I couldn't be sure due to his bloody face, looked at me with what I assumed was pain in his eyes.

This went on for a few more seconds before the spearman vomited again, but because I was directly in front of his face this time, the blood he vomited landed on my face.

Seeing this, I calmly wiped the blood from my face with my hand.

I was already a bloody mess from harvesting materials, so another bit of blood didn't matter because I planned on changing after I get out of the tunnel and the hill.

With this in mind, I took a basic health pill bottle from my storage ring and turned to face the spearman, who looked at me with hope in his eyes when he saw what I just did. I didn't need him to talk and tell me what he was thinking before I knew what he was thinking.

While I had decided to put my pills to the test on him, I was still debating how many pills to give him.

There were three pills in a pill bottle, whether it was the basic mana pill bottle or the basic health pill bottle, and both pills could recover 30% of mana and health for unranked species because they were only 30% of the pills' purity level.

This was the strongest pill I could make at the time, and even though we were both unranked species, who knew what would happen if I made the spearman recover to full health?

What if he attacked me right after that?

After all, even though I knew he was still unranked, I had no idea how powerful his physique was in comparison to mine because I'd never seen him in action.

Aside from that, the pill would only restore about 20% of his health, so it was probably fine.

I wasn't sure if it would be the same for the basic health pill, but after taking the basic mana pills several times, I noticed that the pill only recovers about 20% of our mana and discovered that the 30% recovery the primordial chronicle was referring to was only referring to pure unranked species who did not or have not used their accumulated level-ups to improve their physique.

This was not difficult to understand. After all, while we were still unranked species, we could already fight with weaker rank 1 species because we had improved our physique to the level of a rank 1 specie, so people like me couldn't be considered pure unranked species.

Hmmm, whatever happens, happens, I suppose, but for now, I'll only feed him one and see what happens.

I took a basic health pill from the pill bottle in my hand and force-fed it to the spearman since he couldn't do it himself due to his current state of health.

Perhaps he swallowed the pill without hesitation because he had assumed he would die before meeting me, and now that he saw a glimmer of hope, he took it without hesitation because it didn't matter since he'd die anyway, and it was better to bet on something else, such as the pill I gave him.

It's also possible that there's another reason, but how would I know if I wasn't the spearman himself?

It would be ideal if he truly is Sir Andrew's man.

I'm curious how he got so strong so quickly and if he knew anything about the world that the general public didn't know as a former emperor and so on.

As I was thinking about this, the spearman in front of me coughed violently for a few seconds before stopping.

After this occurred, I noticed that some of his injuries began to heal.

The process was slow, but it was indeed happening.
