"So, tell me! What is the cost of such a perfect method?"

If there were such an easy method in the world, Herbert believed that Nenasha wouldn't have deliberately kept it a secret before, not mentioning a single word.

Then, surely, there must be some cost involved.

"Does it require some special materials?"

["It indeed requires them, not just anyone is qualified to build it, but for someone qualified like you, it shouldn't be difficult."]

An operation of this level is not something that can be done simply by knowing the method; even if ordinary people know the method, they lack the ability to execute it.

And Herbert has this qualification purely because he is an ally of Nenasha.

["But having the qualification alone is not enough, to build the Heroic Spirit Pool, you need at least two more things."]

["One is a part of the remnants of the original Heroic Spirit Pool."]

["I can point you in the direction where it is located. You can bring people to retrieve it, but it is likely now occupied by a powerful Heroic Spirit."]

This is beyond doubt.

Such creations, if they have not birthed their own will like the Holy Grail, will inevitably be occupied by the strong.

Herbert furrowed his brows slightly, sensing some difficulty.

These two things are probably not that easy to obtain.

["And the other is the water from the Heroic Spirit Pool."]

After mentioning this, Nenasha's voice carried a hint of playfulness: ["As for this... have you already seen it?"]

Hmm?

"Seen it? You... you mean the Holy Grail of Wine of Oblivion?"

["That's right! It's it! The Wine of Oblivion it now holds is enough to replace the former Heroic Spirit Pool water!"]

After speaking, Nenasha laughed joyfully, teasing her complex-faced ally: ["What, aren't you happy now?"]

"...Not exactly unhappy."

Herbert smirked wryly and said, "I just pummeled someone, it probably won't be easy to make it listen obediently."

[Indeed!]

Just a while ago, he had Fremay give the Holy Grail a friendly beating, and now it is most likely still in a state of panic, unsure of when it will calm down.

Naughty indeed.

If he had known earlier, he would have asked Fremay to go easy; almost gave the little one a psychological shadow...

"Well! Knowing its character, it will come on its own after a while."

["That's true~"]

Although Herbert hasn't been the friendliest to the Holy Grail before, it's not a big issue.

The Holy Grail now is akin to a newly born child, with its mind still in its childhood stage.

Emotions come and go quickly.

Relying on its instinctive curiosity and warmth towards Herbert, it probably won't be long before it, like a silly roe deer, comes calling on its own.

"As for it, it can only be left for now."

"About the other remnant... can you roughly confirm where it is located now?"

["If viewed from within the region you divided, it's likely in the Central Ring, near the Inner Ring."]

Herbert pondered silently, and right now Elda's position is on the Outer Ring of the entire Misty Mountains.

And all his previous wanderings in the mountains were always in the Outer Ring, never venturing into the Central Ring.

Going straight to the Central Ring now, and even near the Inner Ring, the associated risks have likely increased manifold.

"Let's not rush for now, need to find another assistant."

Relying solely on Fremay alone, even with Sofia, might still be difficult to handle safely.

If possible, Herbert hopes to avoid any risks.

Neither for himself nor for them does he wish any harm.

"Wait until Valentina's bloodline inheritance is complete, with her, our chances should increase."

"Oh, I also have a Ring to use... Who should I look for next?"

["You're not planning to investigate now?"]

"The risk is too great, better not hurry."

Herbert suddenly found it strange. Usually, he is always the one wandering around, with Nenasha advising him to be cautious. Why is it the other way around this time?

Have you bought a hefty insurance policy for me, and you're the beneficiary?

Feeling Herbert's "suspicious" emotions, Miss Harmonious God laughed with pride, retorting: ["Did I say to take risks?"]

"Hmm? You have a method?"

Herbert blinked, guessing that She had a special method, and complained while pouting: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Are you deliberately holding back?

["Hehe, there wasn't any before, but now there is! Do you remember the Legendary Ghost Wolf that Sofia killed?"]

When they found Sofia, she was clutching a massive wolf head, and she didn't let go even in her faint.

"Hmm? Oh!"

That wolf head was thrown into the shadow by Herbert, allowing Nenasha to absorb it.

Given the material was most of the corpse of a Legendary creature, this digestion took considerably longer than before.

"You've absorbed a special ability?"

["Hmm-hmm~ Of course!"]

Nenasha snickered twice in delight, then Her tone shifted, speaking spookily like a ghost:

["A living person entering the mist shines like a torch, easily noticed by them..."]

["But if it's a Spirit Body?"]

["Would they still care? Hehe..."]
