"Inside my ring, there are two High Pure Aethers. Absorb them directly. I'll release them the moment you start absorbing," Grace said.
"What?" Richard felt like he had misheard something.
Grace had High Pure Aethers—and she was giving them to him?
This was beyond shocking.
"Are you serious, Grace?" Richard asked.
"Wait, I can't just take something that valuable from you. Tell me, what do you want in return?" he added.
If she wanted something small, like minor help, that would be fine—but High Pure Aether was extremely precious.
Richard had used it before, so he knew its effects were not merely about increasing Aether. It even enhanced the body, improving its ability to absorb Aether in the future.
Richard was certain Grace had obtained those with great difficulty. Even buying them would feel like extorting her.
"No need," Grace replied immediately. "My Aether is already full. I've used up quite a lot."
