"."Good, good" commander garret chuckled excitement could be clearly seen in his eyes

"But I see one problem in this plan"." if we need to feed the enemy this drug, the plan could fail drastically, as this put too much variables and luck on the plan "the commander aired a concern of his although he was normally a risk taker and had a fairly fiery temper this war was too important to him so he couldn't help but be cautious.

"You don't have to worry commander I have already designed one which could be propagated by air "James said with a slight smile on his face he knew that this would be brought up

"How would we stop it from affecting our men can you produce the antidote".

I have also devised the antidote, so that our side can use and avoid the effect of the poison".

" I have covered all most of the bases that is needed to be covered pertaining to the poison we just need your help in procuring the herbs for it and its implementation" James then turned to Sir Eric because they both agreed, that he would handle the rest.

"well done James you have done a meritious deed and shall be duly rewarded" commander garret chortled he was tremendously happy because this would change the way this war to his advantage.

"alright I will tell the quartermaster to give you free reign over the herb and provide you with any assistance that you need in order to produce it "commander garret said this because he knew that most alchemists and potioneers did not like sharing their recipes.

"No need sir I would give the recipe to you and even my notes while I was researching. The only thing that most important thing that we want is to remain anonymous. My father will negotiate the details of the transfer, I will now leave you both to the negotiation" he then turned and left.

This was a plan he and his father thought up as holding onto this recipe might make them a target for assignation and their family couldn't handle it, so they decided to just to give the recipe to the empire, thereby gaining the empires support and protection and also remove them from the spotlight, James understood the benefits of being low key.

The next few days was very hectic for James and sir Eric as James had to teach the alchemist's that the empire's brought for him how to produce the nihility drug, it was easy to teach them because James made procedures to it to be as simple as can be, while sir Eric tried to negotiate with the empire by the weeks end they were both tired but satisfied by what they accomplished.

Although it was hectic James he didn't forget to train in the art of refining and on his swordplay, which was very hard to do as refining bone was the final level of ,the first stage of the art of refining and was very hard to practice so even though he had pure fourth dimensional energy ,it couldn't be easily and hastily done as the bones was, the most important in the art of refining ,as they were the foundation of the body if they were not properly refined the martial artist might not break into the second stage of the art.

Although he didn't progress much in the art of refining and his swordplay, he made tremendous progress on his study of runes, as an abundance of spiritual herbs was provided to him 'the understanding of rune' had five parts and James had reached, the second part of it but what he gained was stupefying for him and also gave him some ideas for, the third stage of the art of refining,

The benefit the alliance had on him was tremendous ,as he was developing well in all direction and the benefits of resources could be seen. As it was James was in a secluded room practicing the art of runes in his father's new quarters when he heard a knock on his door.

As commander garret had directly promoted ,his father to a lieutenant and made him an aide to the army, he had also promised his father a barony ,once he had discussed the terms with the main family, so he was pretty surprised because, he had told the maid, he was not to be disturbed. As he opened the door he saw the maid bowing

"Young master I know you don't want to be disturbed, but the master has called for you. He has something he wanted to talk to you about and that you should hurry" the maid said while still bowing, the maid was scared because the rise of this family was just too quick and everyone was talking about it.

"okay you can go now tell my father I will be there shortly" James answered after musing to himself for a few minutes as his father had been very busy lately, he knew that he wouldn't call him if it was not for a good reason , so he immediately quickly prepared himself and then went to see him.

As he came to the hall he saw his father, sitting with a man who were wearing blue robes surrounded by guards.

What got James thinking was the fidgeting manner in which sir Eric was behaving, this was a mystery to James because his father was a cool and collected person, who faced everything with a straight face, he didn't even bat an eyelash while negotiating with the commander garret and his aides, although this took a while to explain it was only a few second.

As soon as he came into the room his father shouted out before he could speak" well done son you are here, I want to introduce you to someone this is Mr. Jones, Viscount Carey's chief butler
