Chapter 693: Chapter 274: Sneak Attack (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

Speaking of this, Flay grew even more excited.

After all, although Rein was from the Sword Bearers Branch in Mingster Province, and they were from the Sword Bearers Branch in Nome Province, at the end of the day, they were all Sword Bearers.

Compared to them, that Earthshaker was an outsider.

Having saved an outsider, Flay felt a sense of pride!

As the Sword Bearer trio from Nome Province stood in the room, shocked by Rein’s resume, Rein was in his bedroom at that moment, preparing to take the “Solidifying Secret Potion” that Chief Maid Shadia had given him.

Previously, since he was the only one guarding the Count Mansion, Rein didn’t think it was the right time to take the potion.

But now, things were different. With a whole five-member Earthshaker squad, along with the Nome Province Sword Bearer squad present, he could take it with ease.

Soon, Rein opened the wooden box and saw a transparent square glass bottle containing a blue liquid inside.

However, the inside of the wooden box was another story, with slightly complicated patterns on the inner walls. Clearly, this was some sort of array pattern, presumably for preserving the “Solidifying Secret Potion.”

Curious about the well-packaged “Solidifying Secret Potion”, Rein picked up the square glass bottle and examined it closely.

On the bottle, there was a conspicuous label with black lettering on a white background that read:

“Solidifying Secret Potion, a cultivation auxiliary potion. After consumption, the user’s body constitution will be enhanced to a certain extent over the half month that follows, with the degree of increase varying from person to person, generally around five to ten percent.”

“Method of Consumption:….”

“Precautions:…. With repeated use, the effect diminishes. It is recommended to take once every 1~3 months based on individual constitution. —-Produced by Austin of the Royal Alchemist Association.”

“An overall enhancement, huh?”

“If it’s a comprehensive enhancement, it’s surely a good thing!”

“Also, this is produced by the Royal Alchemist Association. Austin must be the name of some master pharmacist,” Rein thought to himself.

Without any hesitation, Rein “pop~” pulled out the cork from the bottle, and instantly, a faint aroma like that of star anise and cinnamon in stewed meat wafted out.

It smelled good, and it even whetted his appetite!

Having experience with other potions, Rein immediately downed the Solidifying Secret Potion in one gulp!

Upon swallowing, Rein’s face changed. The taste….

Despite the fragrant smell, as it went down the throat, the taste was somewhat spicy, like a mixture of white liquor with a bit of mustard.

Seconds later, Rein felt a sting in his stomach, followed by a rapid onset of warmth throughout his body.

Soon, fine beads of sweat began to emerge all over his body, and in no time, he was drenched in sweat!

He looked as if he had just been fished out of a sauna.

But after a while, Rein felt a sudden ease all over his body!

He felt refreshed and invigorated.

This process lasted for about half an hour or so, after which the effect of the potion began to gradually wane…. settling to a relatively steady and subtle level.

At this moment, the system prompt sounded:

[Congratulations! Your Constitution Attribute has been improved!]

[Congratulations! Your Agility Attribute has been improved!]

“Huh?”

“Both Constitution and Agility have been improved, but there’s no increase in Strength.”

“Is it because my own Strength attribute is already very strong?”

“But this is quite good already!”

“This Solidifying Secret Potion is even stronger than the previous Strength Elixirs I’ve had!”

Rein checked his attribute panel:

…

Constitution: 39

Strength: 43

Agility: 36

Spirit: 52

…..

The Agility attribute, which had not been improved for a long time and was also a weakness, had increased from 35 to 36 points.

Constitution had also risen from 38 to 39, almost breaking through the important mark of 40.

“To last half a month?”

“Then there’s potential for more improvement in the coming period.”

“The Solidifying Secret Potion is quite nice. Is this the heritage of a hereditary noble family?”

“It’s even better than some potions offered by the Sword Bearers Branch!”

“Indeed, the potions from the Sword Bearers Branch are after all mass-produced, and this can be seen from the signature, which reads the Royal Alchemist Association Mingster Branch,” Rein recalled.

“But this Solidifying Secret Potion is signed: Produced by Austin of the Royal Alchemist Association. This Austin must be a master pharmacist, and the potion was likely crafted by his own hands.”

“It seems the depth of the Imperial nobility should not be underestimated,” Rein looked at the label on the bottle again, thinking to himself.

After taking the potion and breaking out in a sweat, naturally, Rein needed to wash up.

There was a small bath in his bedroom.

As Rein was about to step into the bath after stripping down, his eye caught the ten Hardened Essence Gold ingots that Olena had delivered to him today, placed in a corner of the room.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he walked over to morph them into a single metal sphere weighing about fifty to sixty kilograms, which he held in his hands.

Upon entering the bath, Rein turned it into a huge metal basin to scoop water onto himself…

After a while, he then shaped it into a big colander to rinse his head, enjoying himself immensely.

….

Meanwhile,

The Serpent Sect Leader Holdan had already arrived at the Earl Habbs Mansion.

At that moment, he was standing in the shadows among the shrubs of a garden.

Holdan, standing in the shadows, appeared to possess a special talent that made nearby guards, even those a few meters away, walk past without noticing him when patrolling.

Following the covert markers provided by the Black Flame Church, he moved unhurriedly into a room in the auxiliary building.
