    ---- Chapter 2929 Andrew rubbed his nose. "Well, it''s true enough." Knox looked starstruck. "No way! The legendary squad that gave the Dark ns and major powers headaches was led by a brat like you? Ten years ago, you probably hadn''t even hit puberty!" Andrew was used to such crude humor. He shot back, "Ten years ago, I was bigger than you!" Knox burst intoughter. Petra and Franz joined in, and even the cold Juno cracked a smile. She said, "You''re growing on us. Anyway, I''m going to tend to my wounds." Petra also excused himself to treat his injuries. Andrew asked Franz, "Mr.


    Hearts, does Dragonfang have any Holtrien''s elixirs? They work wonders on vampire wounds." Franz sighed and said, "You think we''re back home? Dragonfang is small and hidden. We''re famous outside, but our conditions are harsh. We were recently raided, leaving us with nothing. Andrew fell silent. ---- After Reginald returned to the Ounds from Holtrien, he was ambushed by the Dark Lord Kaelen. At the same time, special forces from a foreign power attacked and looted Dragonfang''s former headquarters, destroying itpletely.


    Smiling, Andrew pulled out some healing pills and handed them to Franz. "Crush these and apply the powder to their wounds. They''ll be almost healed by tomorrow." Franz was overjoyed. "This is amazing! Andrew, do you have many more of these? We could really use them. We''d be happy to pay." Andrew shook his head. "! don''t have many left on me." Franz was a little disappointed but thanked him anyway before going to find Juno and Petra. The room was now left with just Knox, Andrew, and Nyx.


    Knox gave Andrew a strange look, winked as if to say, "You handle her, " and then left with an awkward chuckle Suddenly, it was just Andrew and Nyx. For once, he felt a bit awkward. He cleared his throat repeatedly, picked up his greatsword, and headed for the door. Nyx looked at him and suddenly said, "Still reckless, but also brave. In that way, you''re a lot like Reginald." ---- Andrew smiled. "I''ll take that as apliment." Nyx asked, "Can you refine elixirs?" Andrew paused, then nodded. "If I have the materials, yes." Nyx pressed her lips together.


    "I''ve collected a lot of materials, but I don''t know how to use them. I''ll give them to you. Can you make some elixirs? Holtrien''s pills are incredible. They''re hard to buy out here, even with money." Andrew agreed readily. "That''s easy. If it helps the team, I''m happy to do it." Nyx nodded, then asked curiously again, "Logically, with your top- tier physique, why were you so weak back in Holtrienst time? I went to save you then, and... don''t get mad, but you really seemed weak. "You weren''t even a martial emperor back then.


    So how could you possibly have led a famous top-tier unit like the Iron Cavalry? Andrew shrugged. "My energy core was sealed, and I couldn''t break through. After a life-or-death situationst time, I shattered all those restrictions." Nyx was surprised. "So in this short time, you went from below martial emperor to your current level? The fifth tier of the martial ---- emperor level?" Andrew grinned. "Pretty much." Nyx fell silent, a deep and thoughtful silence. For some reason, Andrew got the feeling this strong, aloof woman was simply at a loss for words.
