"Hmm...?" Souta slowly opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling. He recalled that he visited the red light district last night.

He looked over and saw two busty blonde elves sleeping at his side. One wasn't enough for him as he went wild yesterday night. He still recalled how did it without care about the elves.

"...I got carried away." He muttered before he stood up and wore his clothes.

He picked up his things and hung the vajra sword at his waist. If Saya was awake he was sure that she would complain about why he brought her in this place with him. Souta couldn't help but revealed a smile while recalling that scene in his mind.

He then placed a few coins on the table and left. He contacted Yuko and said that he was on his way towards the inn.

...

Souta was stretching his body while walking towards the inn. He got stronger after he promotes his class yesterday but he couldn't bring out the full power of the Battle Mage class as he couldn't use any mana.

This lowered his battle prowess to a certain degree. He couldn't even coat his fist or body with mana to strengthen himself.

"I wonder if I could get my hands on the spring of life there," Souta muttered as he turned his head in the direction of the huge castle at the center of the empire.

If he could get his hands on that famed spring of life then he was sure that it would regenerate his damaged mana pool.

Souta knitted his brows and rubbed his chin. He was pondering if he should contact princess Alea or not. Maybe, he should trigger those large-scale quests and completed it to raised his favorability towards the Eternal Empire. The problem was that he couldn't easily complete those quests. Even if he triggered it, it would take a month or two before he could raise the favorability of the royal family to the point that they could reward him a drop of spring of life.

No, no, his strength wasn't enough to complete those quests. He would easily die at the hand of those high-rank criminals in the Eternal Empire.

He should be content with the mana potions.

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.

"I see... So you want to get the famed spring of life in your grasp, great leader of the dark force."

Souta turned his head and saw princess Alea with her butler. He nodded his head at her as he didn't deny that he wanted the spring of life.

"Even though you're the great leader of the dark force, I, Princess Alea of the Twilight Blood Moon, didn't think that you could acquire such precious things. At the very least, you needed great achievements or impressed me before you could get the precious spring of life." Princess Alea said to him in a strange tone.

Souta listened to Alea's words but he felt the butler's gazed on his body. He felt a chill run down on his spine. He suppressed himself to look at the butler.

He could understand the feelings of the butler. The spring of life was a rare treasure of this empire. Not anyone could get their hands on it, even the nobles of this empire couldn't get it easily. They must receive the permission of the emperor or else they won't get it no matter what they do.

The Spring of life was the spring at the roots of the ancient tree at the center of the Eternal Empire. It was very potent and natural healing water. It could even regenerate missing limbs and enhanced their fighting strength. It could also cure poison and curses.

In terms of effectiveness, it could rival the high-grade holy water of the True God's Holy Kingdom in curing poison and curse.

So it was natural to feel wary of Souta when he knew that Souta wanted to get the spring of life.
