Chapter 2 : History Enthusiast Isatia
“Aargh! Really, what was I even babbling about just now?!”
Winnie, who had fled the scene as if escaping, was now filled with immense regret over his earlier statements. In a moment of impulsiveness, his mouth had moved faster than his brain, and now, with a moment of calm, he looked back and felt utterly embarrassed. What nonsensical things had he been spouting?!
Things like, 'Aren't we friends?', 'Principles, loyalty, do you understand?' – it was all so weird!
And to say all that in front of that little bread? It is over now. His actions had certainly made Aesphyra laugh her head off behind his back, perhaps even thinking of him as a clown performing on stage or a childish brat!
Aargh, how could he have made that silver-haired, short nut witness such a huge joke?!

However, it turned out that Aesphyra's previous over-exertion with [Divine Blessing] had indeed left lingering effects.
Winnie had thought he had cured her afterward, but it seemed the life-saving elixir brewed with half a bottle of Saintess's Blood was still not enough to completely heal the backlash caused by Carillian's Blood.

For anyone else, any other fatal injury, a single drop of the life-saving elixir might have been enough.
But she had been hit by Julliana's magic, and without drinking half a bottle, she wouldn't have been saved. And Aesphyra had suffered the backlash of Carillian's divine blood, which was even more severe than the former, an almost irreversible damage.
Winnie had tried, and indeed, as Aesphyra had said earlier, even Holy Light couldn't restore her injuries, only alleviated them to a great extent.
The reason Aesphyra had recovered so quickly back then was also because Winnie had used Holy Light to temporarily suppress her injuries. That's why Aesphyra had appeared so lively and acted as if nothing had happened once she regained her mobility.

But it was different afterwards. The injuries caused by the divine blood backlash gradually began to manifest, and only then did Aesphyra slowly realize something was wrong.
Winnie noted that Aesphyra's complexion had already appeared somewhat pale earlier. The reason she had returned to the Galactus family's ancestral home during this holiday was likely also for the treatment of her heart.
As seen, even the Galactus family seemed to have no solution.
The Galactus family's loyalty to Carillian was unquestionable. It was estimated that the entire family had been ecstatic when they found the sole orphan of the Carillian family, pinning all their hopes on Aesphyra to lead them to reclaim their rightful place and return to their peak.

Now that Aesphyra's heart had problems, and major ones at that, everyone in the Galactus family was probably as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They were likely already mobilizing the entire family's strength to request help from various high-ranking priests and searching everywhere for medicinal recipes.
If he hadn't used up half a bottle of the life-saving elixir for Aesphyra, the potency would definitely have been enough.

The essence of a Blessed Angel was the only divine object in the world that could bring the dead back to life. If the life-saving elixir brewed with Saintess's Blood were to be drunk entirely, it would absolutely completely repair the heart damage caused by Carillian's divine blood.
Ultimately, this matter had to be his responsibility. If not him, then who?
Although he was injured while saving Aesphyra, in the end, he still owed Aesphyra so many favors.
Actually, Winnie himself found it very strange. A whole summer had passed, and with Aesphyra's destiny as the great heroine, shouldn't a fated benefactor of some sort have appeared from somewhere to help her by now? Why was there still no movement at all? Had the great heroine's destiny failed?
As for how he, an alchemy apprentice who hadn't even reached the level of Warlock, could help Aesphyra, Winnie had also come up with an idea.
Even though his realm was just that of a nobody, everyone had their own specialties. Wasn't the Varelis family exactly the kind of people who specialized in saving lives and healing injuries?

Isn't that a coincidence? Earlier, in the dream, Elusa had passed on all her life's learned alchemy recipes to him, which included those inherited from the Varelis family, some lost to antiquity, and some that Elusa herself had researched and invented.
He was also a Varelis who had awakened his complete bloodline, and the blood of a Blessed Angel flowed within him, something no one else possessed.
Of course, having the blood of a Blessed Angel wasn't enough. It was just one of the most important and indispensable ingredients. Other ingredients were also needed, and in the end, he himself would have to refine it.
After all, his awakening of his bloodline was something that could not be known to anyone.
Winnie had also considered simply giving the medicinal recipe to Aesphyra and providing the ingredients himself, but this knowledge about the recipes seems to have some kind of secret protocol. Although it exists in his mind, there was only a name and specific ingredients. As for how to refine it, he will only know by feel when the time comes.
This was likely to ensure that these medicinal recipes would not be leaked and fall into the hands of wicked people. It was highly possible that Elusa, considering the great disaster that could be caused if the principles of these recipes were known and altered knowledge, had taken all this to her grave and set up this safeguard when teaching him.

Winnie pondered how he should refine the medicine.
The first thing that was certain was that with Winnie's processing power, even with the medicinal recipe, he wouldn't be able to refine the life-saving elixir in a short period.

But it was okay. This could be done by Vanessa. Vanessa could learn alchemy, specialize in healing alchemy potions, and then Vanessa would refine it, after all, the Blessed Angel's blood was already within Vanessa.
But if that were the case, Winnie, apart from showing his presence, would spend a lot of time in Vanessa's state. Moreover, he would need an alchemy room where he wouldn't be disturbed and complete medicinal ingredients.
In addition, someone would have to substitute for his student council work during this period, as he would be offline for a long time.
These conditions were clearly not something he could fulfill, so he had to find an ally to help him.
Еń ü mȧ. ī d̂
That's right, her again!
His most reliable and excellent childhood friend, Mirexia!
Thus, Winnie did not return to his dormitory but went up to the third floor to the student council president's office to find Mirexia.
“Winnie? Have you finished your school registration? Is there something you need?” Mirexia asked, looking up when she saw Winnie.

“It's like this, Mirexia, I might need your help again. Aesphyra, she...” Winnie explained the whole story to Mirexia. Of course, he didn't mention Aesphyra's background or Divine Blessing, only saying it was Aesphyra's secret and he didn't know either.
“A life-saving elixir brewed with the blood of a Blessed Angel?? I've heard of it, but what kind of illness or injury can only be cured by this divine medicine that exists only in legends and has long been lost?” Mirexia couldn't understand. Logically, no matter how severe the injury, using such a divine medicine would be overkill.

“I don't know about that, but I know that Holy Light can only alleviate Aesphyra's heart injury, not fundamentally heal it. And I can't always transform into Vanessa to alleviate it for Aesphyra, and this is inherently a superficial solution,” Winnie didn't tell Mirexia this out of respect for Aesphyra. Even though she was the one he trusted the most, even knowing that Mirexia wasn't a gossip and would absolutely not spread it, he wouldn't say it without Aesphyra's own permission.
Mirexia remained silent for a long time. She vaguely sensed that Aesphyra's background might not be simple, but she didn't dwell on it.
Unless absolutely necessary and without others' permission, she would not pry into other people's secrets.
Moreover, she believes everything Winnie said now 100%.
“You mean you want to help Aesphyra?”
“Why not? It's partly my fault that she got hurt. And isn't one reason enough to help her?”

“She's my friend.”
Upon hearing this, Mirexia nodded.
'Virtue + 50.'
'Current Virtue: 8874.'
“What do you want me to help you with?” Mirexia asked.
“Help me prepare an alchemy room where I won't be disturbed and the alchemy ingredients. Then, I need to practice the alchemy recipes given to me by my ancestors during this time, so I might fall behind on my student council work.”

“Okay, what are the specific alchemy ingredients?” Mirexia asked.
“How about this, I'll list them out.” Winnie wrote down the necessary ingredients on a piece of paper and handed it to Mirexia.

"Most of these ingredients are available in the academy's reserves. However, because these ingredients are very precious, even the Carillian Academy cannot provide them to students for free, unless they promise that the refined potions will belong to the academy and they have a certain level of alchemy qualification certificate," Mirexia said after looking at the list.
“This…” This puts Winnie in a difficult position. As an alchemy apprentice, where would he get a qualification certificate? And he couldn't give the refining potions to the academy either?
“It's alright, the ingredients are the least of the problems. Winnie, even if you have your ancestor's medicinal recipes, what's your confidence level in succeeding?” Mirexia asked earnestly.
"I don't know about that. I will refine it in Vanessa's state. As for how many tries it will take to get the hang of it, I'm not sure, but I will do my best," Winnie said solemnly.

“Alright, these ingredients will be provided by the Camella Royal Family. I'll write a letter to my father, and these ingredients will be delivered soon.”
“Is this for real??” Winnie was overjoyed. “Thank you, Mirexia.”
“As expected, I knew my childhood friend was the best and most understanding.”
But this way, wasn't he using Mirexia's things to repay Aesphyra's favor?

He felt like he owed Mirexia more and more.
No, why was it that the more he repaid his debts, the more he couldn't finish paying them off?

'Virtue + 60.'
'Current Virtue: 8934.'
“Because, Aesphyra is also my friend, isn't she?” Mirexia said, averting her gaze slightly. “She has also helped me a lot. It's only right that I help her.”
“Yes.” Winnie nodded. After all, in the original work, Mirexia and Aesphyra had a very good relationship. As for how good it was...
Winnie walked out of the council student office. Classes hadn't started yet, so Winnie decided to go to the library to see if there were any similar books.
It had only been a short while since the academy started, and the academy wasn't particularly crowded. Most of the people who had returned were gathering with their friends. After not seeing each other for a whole holiday, they naturally had to catch up. His card-playing buddies were just like that. Winnie didn't even need to look to know that their first topic of discussion upon returning would be about what new cards had been released, and then they would immediately find a place to exchange card skills.

He envied them for having such clear goals and being so decisive.
However, there were still some people in the library, but Winnie quickly found an unoccupied seat and sat down. As usual, he unleashed his domain, making other students reluctant to approach, feeling unlucky just by glancing at it.
Winnie asked the librarian and found several books related to alchemy and sat down to read.
As he was reading, he suddenly felt the seat beside him being pulled out, and at the same time, a familiar scent of clear orchid fragrance wafted over, making him involuntarily dazed.
Winnie was wondering who had sat next to him. When he looked up again, he saw an acquaintance.
This familiar body scent, the waterfall-like black hair cascading down, and those noble violet eyes could only belong to the noble Princess of the Tyrell Empire, Isatia Lanteville.
Е̄ n u m â . їd́
As for why she chose to sit next to him, she had explained the reason long ago.
“Long time no see, Isatia. How was your holiday?” Although their relationship wasn't that close, when acquaintances met again, they couldn't pretend not to know each other, so Winnie greeted her warmly.

“Hmm, it was alright.” Isatia nodded slightly, treating it as an answer.
The answer 'it was alright' was practically saying nothing. Everyone's standard for 'alright' was different, so one had no idea what the other person's 'alright' truly meant.
This was merely a polite response.
Winnie also realized that she was not free to chat with him, which he didn't mind. His greeting was merely out of politeness.
Е nu m̄ а̄
However, he was curious. Isatia seemed to be holding a book and reading it all the time. Was she that fond of reading?
Winnie couldn't help but glance at the title of the book in Isatia's hand.
“Research and Records on the Lost Civilization of Mars.”
Winnie didn't know what Mars was, but this book was likely a research book related to history.

It was the same last time. When he saw Isatia in the library, she was reading extracurricular books related to history.
This Princess seems to be particularly fond of historical books. It seemed like she read history-related books wherever she went.
Ẅ ébñ о̆ v̄ е́ l .Е n̄ ŭm а
Winnie frowned.
Was she a history enthusiast? Or was there a deeper reason?
However, Winnie didn't pay it any mind and continued reading his own book.
After all, when interacting with this Archduchess, it was best if neither of them bothered the other.
Then, as he kept reading, Winnie wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt that the fragrant orchid scent was getting closer to him.

SMALL EXPLANATION:
[Research and Records on the Lost Civilization of Mars]
I used Mars here because in Chinese it was 玛尔斯 (Mä'ersi) which means Mars. But it could also means God of War so I am not sure we will see later based on context.
