Greetings to you lady of the snow, I assume you know the services of a dark one comes a great cost, are you willing to bear such a cost? She heard a deep voice through his dark metal armour which looked impressive but also scary like the armour worn by villains in the tales her mother use to read to her as child.
She felt nervousness overtake her from that question. Taking a deep breath, she tried to used the appraisal to see his board of self, maybe she would be able learn more about him with that. She knew using appraisal on people was rude but it was a very rare ability mostly possessed by craft... She thought that last part slowly.
Damn did I just use appraise on a crafter, how stupid of me, but what surprised her the most was the mans reaction, he just stood there like he did not notice. The two women next to him gave her a very cold look though.
Another surprising thing is what her appraisal showed her.

The status board was flickering, there were no numbers showing on it which means he was much stronger that she is but she could not feel anything from him, no mana or aura, he appeared mortal, she came back to herself and eventually answered.
Yes I'm willing as long as it is within my power. GREAT he replied with a high pitched excited voice. The two women just looked down and shook their heads as if they used to this. This made her super nervous, what was he going to asked her.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The lady agreed, though Yamiko and Yamino did look like they wanted to rip her head out at some point, he assumed she must've done something to piss them off and he could guess what it was. This stupid curse.
He checked his status screen or board of self as the locals call it.

Unique my ass, I can't use any spell or battle techniques with that Qi, although it is super useful for crafting or reinforcing material, he sighed. Remembering the lady infront of him, he turned his eyes towards her.
So you said he was poisoned by the winter Fang serpent? Yes, that what the doctors said,replied the pretty lady with a cold tone. Tsundere? Or really just cold beauty? His thought wondered again. What are thinking Fabro this isn't the time for that.
If it a winter Fang serpent why haven't they cured him, it venom is not really hard to neutralize unless you are much weaker than it, and in that case it wouldn't even need to use it venom. The doctors said it was a mutated version.
Is that so? As he was talking to her, he noticed a pendant on her neck, using appraisal he was able to see what it was. It was a protective artefact filled with king grade ice laws and mana, meaning there was a king grade expect protecting the girl.
If a king grade expect couldn't find a cure then things must be more complicated than simply a mutated beast. Describe the symptoms to me. His body is cold and releases frost energy.
Isn't that normal though? I've heard of the Snow family, isn't your family technique attuned to the ice element? Yes but grandfather is not of the Snow family, he married into the family, he was a commoner before.
A commoner with a heaven grade breathing technique? He found it by luck, this time replied the big man in armour, can you help us or not? He asked with impatience. Sorry for prying into your family business lady Snow.
Is that all?are there no other symptoms. On a full moon his body glows with faint silver and the next morning his situation would be worse than before. Mhhhhhh I see, Fabro said with contemplation.
I know what the issue is but I don't have the ingredients to made the cure, or rather I'm lacking one ingredient. What is it? whatever it is I will get it for you master alchemistsaid the girl with an excited but nervous voice yet somehow still remaining cold.Could you please tell us what wrong with master? asked the big man.
Yes I could but before that, can I know where you got that amulet? He asked the lady. My grandmother made it for me. Is your grandmother still alive? Yes she is still alive. Good, I will only give that information to the lady, he said looking straight at the big man.
Lady Snow looked at her guard and nodded. He turned around and walked away, he was still close enough to get here within a second with the speed of a master should anything happen.
Come closer. She approached with slow nervous steps, why would she be nervous infront of a such an approachable magnificent person, it must be the twins, yes, yes of course,they terrifying he can sympathize with her on that, he thought and sighed outloud.For some reason the twins felt offended when looking at him.
He looked at her, took out a round tiny ball which released a sort of forcefield around them that kept sound inside, he called it the no no noisy, what I'm about to tell you, you shouldn't tell anyone else besides whoever gave you that.
What plagues your grandfather is not some muted beast venom, it is the werewolf lunar venom called moon death or rather a diluted cheap copy of it. Werewolf, are you saying werewolves are involved? No if werewolves were involved he wouldn't be alive.
It most like imitators or a strangler of the werewolf clan, perhaps an outcast of a pack. He released the no no noisy and saw the guard approach. Now then for my payment. I need two of these flowers, he gave her a paper with a white lily looking flower.
The information on where to find it is there as well as how to harvest it, as for my payment. It will be one of those two flowers and your panties.
Huh?
