The Herb King

Kerrin and Alba stared at the necklaces in Aethelwolf's hand with anticipation. They knew that they would be able to transform into humans once they wear it. They had been patiently waiting for this after they had seen Olivia turn into a human. They envied the change in her life and they also wanted to experience it themselves.

"Take it." Aethelwolf smiled at them as he helped them wear their necklace. These artifacts are capable of adjusting their sizes according to their wearer's body.

Aethelwolf gave the white necklace to Alba while he gave the black one to Kerrin.

Soon, the two transformed into their human forms, and this time, Aethelwolf quickly noticed them because of their large stature.

Alba turned into a six-foot-tall man with elegant long white hair. His muscles were lean and full of strength, showing off a body full of vitality. On the other hand, Kerrin morphed into a man who seemed to be in his late twenties. He was more muscular than Alba with a height of six foot and two inches. He has a long wavy black hair that extended to his shoulder. Both magical beasts transformed into fine men with model-like bodies!

"Wear this first. Luckily, you two almost have the same build as me or you would have to stand here naked for quite some time." Aethelwolf chuckled as he threw them a set of clothes. He had a lot of clothes stocked inside his storage space so he didn't mind giving them something to wear.

Kerrin and Alba caught them and they started clumsily changing.

After more than ten minutes of struggle, the two finally changed into their clothes.

"Good. You two have the King-Grade bloodline so you can quickly adapt to your new bodies like Olivia. You guys should start learning how to control your bodies first and once you've finally adapted, I'll train you two in using human weapons." Aethelwolf said. These two were only Level 2 magical beasts and their strength was nowhere close to Olivia's. He could give them enhancement pills, but that would have to wait since he didn't have one in his hands at this moment.

Kerrin and Alba nodded their heads. "Yes, Sir Aethelwolf."

"I'll inform Hyacinth about you two so that you won't be kicked out of the estate. Just practice here. You can go to my study after your training." Aethelwolf said before leaving the two men.

He then went back to his room and saw that Olivia was still sleeping. Seeing this, Aethelwolf smiled and kissed her forehead.

He hasn't rested yet, but there were still a lot of things to do so he headed to the Alchemy room to start refining the pills for their new batch of soldiers. He needed to refine thousands of pills so it might take him a week or two to complete everything. He could pass this responsibility to Johann or Jade Kristine, but those two might not be able to efficiently refine the enhancement pills so he could only make them himself.

Meanwhile, Aenwyn led a small unit of Aethelwolf's most trusted subordinates. They were setting up a Confinement Rune in the rough pathway beside the Great Noxus River. She was a Level 3 Engraver and the people she brought with her were soldiers skilled in laying down traps. They were here since last night, but they weren't even halfway close to setting up the traps.

Aenwyn might be a skilled Engraver, but she didn't have Aethelwolf's cheats and his array of skills so it was taking her a long time to create a perfect trap for Brian.

At this moment, Aenwyn was drawing the magic symbols of the Confinement Rune.

Beads of sweat covered her face as she stared at the symbols she had drawn on the ground. She had to make sure that there were no mistakes in her drawings or all her efforts would go down the drain. Drawing the magic symbols is an important part of making runes so a slight mistake would make the rune ineffective.

The soldiers were already done setting up the traps and they were now observing Aenwyn with sparkling eyes. It was only yesterday that they knew about her identity as an Engraver.

In the Leone Empire, Engravers were respected individuals and only a few of them could be found in the entire empire. Because of this, the Leone Imperial Family places great importance on the few Engravers who were working for them. They could only do this to prevent the Engravers from working for another empire.

After a few more hours, Aenwyn took out a bottle of water from her storage ring and drank several mouthfuls.

The engraving process almost drained all her world essence so she felt very tired.

"Are you alright, Miss Aenwyn?"

"Miss Aenwyn, I have a Recovery Pellet here."

Aenwyn waved her hand as she responded in a calm tone. "I'm fine. You guys should take a rest. We'll return to the mansion later and give a report to Sir Aethelwolf."

Looking at her expressionless face, the soldiers nodded their heads. "Yes, Miss Aenwyn!"

Aenwyn took out a Recovery Pellet from her storage ring. This was something given to her by Aethelwolf. In fact, Aethelwolf gave her a lot of it and they are the original version so their effectiveness is a lot stronger.

After eating the pill, Aenwyn was a bit surprised by the speed at which her world essence was recovering. Even the precious panaceas in her Aracan Kingdom were not as good as the Recory Pellet. She then recalled the scene when Aethelwolf took out a giant jade box that was filled with such valuable pills.

Aenwyn rested for a moment and when she recovered about two-fifths of her world essence, she got up and said. "Let's go back to the mansion. Remember to remove all our traces here."

"Yes, Miss Aenwyn!" The soldiers responded in unison.

They spent another ten minutes removing all their traces before they headed back to the mansion.
