Izlandi looked at the items in Lirian's hands then looked back at her hands in surprise, 'How did he do that?' she wondered, she didn't even realise when Lirian swiped the stuff from her hands.
But she quickly put her thoughts at the back of her head when she saw Lirian drawing an extremely detailed picture of a plant, and right next to it, he started to write a series of details about the plant in an elegant cursive style.
Feeling surprised that a blind man could draw so well and write accurately Izlandi reached down and pulled the blindfold of Lirian.
The moment she saw his eyes the elven blood in her threatened to lose all control, "So dreamy," she involuntarily mumbled as her face went to an even deeper shade of red.
Lirian scoffed while shaking his head, 'Yeah, that's what they all say,' he thought internally and concentrated on continuing with his task.
'Why did I say that out loud!?' Izlandi chided herself and forcefully tore her eyes away from Lirian and looked at the things he was drawing.
"You weren't always blind were you?" she asked, just looking at the drawing was enough for her to know that she was right.
The drawing was done so effortlessly and quickly yet it looked like it could come to life from the paper at any moment, it was something only the greatest of artists could accomplish, and the words written were so graceful and elegant that they could be sold as calligraphy.
"Obviously!" Lirian replied obnoxiously while shaking his head at her question.
"Who are you really?" Izlandi asked with concern, such skills could only be developed over years with great effort, and it was unlikely that some commoner could develop to such a level without being discovered and having a great reputation.
It made her wary about Lirian's background, especially when she saw the brand of a bandit on his skin, if he was an important or respected individual it could spell trouble for anyone involved in turning him into a slave.
Lirian ignored her question and continued to draw several more plants and gave them detailed descriptions, and finally he wrote a list of tools that he'd need and handed it to Izlandi.
"Bring me these items and I'll tell you the plan to obtain your freedom," Lirian said.
Izlandi reached out to take the pages from Lirian, but she quickly caught Lirian's hand and used her energy to try probing him.
In the next instant she took a step back and looked at Lirian coldly, "You have no cultivation," she said coldly, feeling like she'd been played for a fool.
She wanted to see how great the distance between their powers were, based on how powerful he was, she felt like she would be able to determine which part of Mithland he came from.
Lirian looked really young so she felt that if she could get a sense of his cultivation she'd be able to place what kind of place he belonged to, in the capital it was said that all nobles at the age of 25 were adepts, if they failed they would be cast out of their families, but after probing Lirian she found that his cells lacked any of the changes brought about by cultivation.
Izlandi glared at Lirian furiously, with a feint amount of killing intent, feeling like a complete fool who was almost taken advantage of.

'So, she cultivates her body and her mana, with favour to her mana, based on the nasty smell she is trying to hide with all that perfume it seems that she reached the peak of the first grade for her mana,' Lirian thought as he read her info.
The main effect of higher quality cultivation techniques was the boost that they could offer to one's power.
[First Accord Boosts]
- Elementary = 0%
- Basic = 12%
- Intermediate = 24 %
- Advanced = 36%
- Perfect = 60%
[Second Accord Boosts]
- Elementary = 150%
- Basic = 200%
- Intermediate = 250%
- Advanced = 300%
- Perfect = 400%
As for third accord boosts they were simply ground-breaking, but the main effect third accord esper techniques wasn't in the incredible power boost they granted but rather the unique perks that gods would tailor to themselves.
If a first accord cultivator used a perfect technique on each of their centres of power they could obtain a maximum boost of 180%.
Even if a first accord cultivator used multiple techniques on a single centre of power, for example if a person had four body cultivation techniques, one perfect, two advanced and one at the intermediate level.
The total boosts would be added up and divided by the number of cultivation techniques used, so in this case it would be (60+36+36+24)/ 4 = 39% boost.
It was because of this that it wasn't to common for people to cultivate techniques of different levels, also for every additional technique one would have to cultivate for twice as long to reach a breakthrough.
Lirian focused on Izlandi with an amused smile, "Are you sure about what you learned?" he asked with a tranquil look that took Izlandi aback.
She couldn't understand how he seemed be so uncaring, without the slightest trace of concern, at current she was at a complete advantage over him, yet she was the one feeling overwhelmed.
She cautiously stopped releasing her killing intent and looked to Lirian with questioning eyes waiting for him to offer an explanation.
"Your… killing intent is… quite… cute," Lirian remarked with an amiable smile, "But it's a good thing that you retracted it or I would have shown you what real killing intent is,"
"But you wouldn't want that after all, you just need to look at your little servant to understand what experiencing my killing intent can do after experiencing it for just a second," Lirian said which caused Izlandi's eyes to widen, she didn't know if it was a bluff or not.
"I'd rather not damage your mind so for now I'll show you something else that will convince you of how wrong you are about me,"
With a thought silver energy began to gather all around Lirian like a swirling pool of light, and Izlandi watched in disbelief as the plaster on the walls started to wither away, even the metal bars of the cage was showing traces of corrosion.
Based on the relaxed look on Lirian's face she knew that this was just the tip off the iceberg, if he so wished he could destroy the entire cage when ever he felt like it, and possibly bring even the building down.
Izlandi took a calming breath and looked at Lirian with curiosity, she wanted to know how he tricked her detection ability, but she doubted that he'd give her an answer, if anything this discovery made her more certain than ever that he was extraordinary.
She stopped having anymore thoughts about confronting Lirian and looked at the amazing drawings of plants and read the description of them but soon she realised a problem.
"Why are there no names?" she asked Lirian.
"Consider it a test," Lirian lied through his teeth, in truth he hadn't met anyone with any knowledge on herbology since he arrived here, aside from the few common plants he learned from peoples memories he knew nothing about the names for plants and herbs.
"Find me all those ingredients, if there are any that you can't find then try finding some substitutes with similar effects to what I described," Lirian said.
"Are you going to use this for alchemy?" she asked as she looked at the list of tools Lirian requested, which included cauldron's, a herb grinding bowl, glass vials and several other items, all of which were rather pricy, and only nobles could afford.
In fact as a mage she possessed all the items listed and used them in her attempts to learn alchemy, but so far she had terrible luck even with her uncles guidance.
"Evidently," Lirian said in snarky tone, because she was just mentioning the obvious.
"No more questions!" Lirian said, he was about to chase her out when he remembered something and quickly wrote a couple things on a list and handed it to Izlandi.
Izlandi read through the contents and realised that it was a simple recipe made from some common ingredients, "What is this for?" she asked.
"Put three drops of it in your bath water for three days and that awful smell of your bodies impurities will go away," Lirian said lightly waving a hand in front of his nose.
The words 'awful smell' made Izlandi stop in her tracks and her entire petite body trembled, as she recalled the events that transpired when she woke up.
"Impurities?" she asked in a soft voice, thinking about the black filth that came out of her body.
Lirian faced her with an incredulous look, "Correct me if I'm wrong but recently your body released a disgusting smelling black liquid?" Lirian asked, wondering how the girl didn't know about impurities.
Izlandi's eyes widened, "How did you know that, do you know what that was?" she asked.
Lirian furrowed his brow, "How many adapt or higher spell casters are there in your family?" he asked thinking about the only reason she wouldn't know about impurities.
In general body cultivators would constantly release all the impurities in their bodies as they cultivated, the amounts would barely be noticeable, because it happens over a long time.
But for people who ignore their bodies cultivation, the impurities will gather up and are released all at once when their other centres of power reach the peak of the grade.
"For adept and higher, it's just my uncle and his daughter," she said it was no secret to the public, so she had no qualms with telling Lirian.
Lirian nodded his head in understanding, the reason she knew so little was because there was a lack of spell casters to tell her about what would happen as she grew stronger.
Lirian simply told her what the cause of the impurities leaving her body, and then chased her away.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
