Gara listened to the explanation of the Alchemy Association's centuries-old project. As Ambar detailed the goal and the progress of that project, his brows furrowed sharper and sharper.
"After all of those trials with all kinds of ingredients, nothing worked out," Ambar concluded.
Gara nodded, but he still looked quite dissatisfied.
Ambar chuckled. "That's how hard alchemy is, making something that seems impossible."
But Gara shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what?" Now, Ambar frowned.
"Why choose that elixir as the collaborative research? That kind of elixir can prolong human life, but if they die from Mist Monsters, then the elixir is useless," Gara said, his expression solemn. "Why not create an elixir that can destroy Mist Monsters or one that can grant immunity to Mist touch and Mistwight attacks?"
At first, Ambar showed a serious expression, but then her face relaxed, settling into a warm smile.
