Darius Supreme

Since Darius no longer had plans to request 'special' services, there was no longer a need for him to separate their rooms. As such, after booking a single large suite for the night, Darius and his servants eventually went to bed. 

Before going to sleep though, Darius spent the 100 CP for that day on a new potion he had discovered after experimenting over and over again. 

[Would you like to change the Common Health Potion into a Rare Intellect Boost Potion? This will cost 25 Conversion Points.] 

[Rare Intellect Boost Potion - Consumable 

Durability: 150/150 

Description: A potion that grants 1-hour Enlightened state, increasing Intellect and Learning Capabilities by 150%. Created through pure Transmutation.] 

At such a steep cost, he could only make four a day. Also, even with the boost, he would need to make enough of these that could last him a straight week in the Restricted Section so he could test out the boost over the long term. 

The next day, Darius stayed back in the inn while Gunner and Xela headed out. Gunner wanted to find some entertainment for himself while Xela had gone out shopping. As for Darius, he created another Rare Intellect Boost Potions for the day and stored them away. 

Since Xela wanted to go shopping, she had taken up the task of converting their remaining Dius to Favelian Rubles. From the almost 1.5 million Dius Darius had in total after combining in all his earnings and expenditures before the last day, he now only had about 50,000 Dius. 

That was right, simply purchasing a plot of land and commission builders to work on it had cost more than 1.4 million Dius! 

In fact, this was the reason Xela had been so excited to report to Darius. Thanks to her beauty, the price had been cut in half. 

Initially, the branch manager had asked for a total of 2,5 million Dius, 2 million for the land, and 500,000 for the construction, but after Xela had talked with him, he had only asked for a total of 1,25 million Dius. 

This was the absolute lowest the fellow had been willing to go in respect to their racial closeness. 

For a moment, the merchant in Darius had been curious just how much further the discount would have been if the Elven Princess had lowered her panties, however this much was already more than enough for them. 

Well, it shouldn't be too surprising as land was always expensive, especially in urban areas, and the price depended on many factors like age, reputation, safety, and development potential. 

This was why, regardless of country, there were some plots that were stupidly expensive while there were others that seemed dirt cheap in comparison. 

In the City of Divinity, the center of Elysium, Darius was simply lucky that the quality of his Spark Potion and Awakening Scroll had been so valuable that they had been able to instantly turn him into a millionaire. 

One should note, he traded almost 50 tons of pure gold for only 500 Dius. That same 50 tons could buy him enough money in any Fallon Kingdom or Empire to become a Duke. 

Dius on Faust was like the dollar on Earth, it was the number 1 currency that could be used almost anywhere that civilization existed. Even if it couldn't be used, it could be easily traded at any forex and had stable rates worldwide. 

So the remaining 50,000 Dius should change to almost 3,000,000 Favelian Ruxes. With it, Xela should be able to buy anything she wanted here, so Darius was not worried. 

He spent the day planning his steps forward. He had many things he needed to accomplish now that he was done with this trip to Elysium, top of the list was for him to return and execute his plans to build up his territory. 

Hm, the fact that he still did not have a name for it in mind was a problem. However, that was something he could decide on later and even receive the opinions of others to make them feel included. 

Darius then began working on his new spells he was creating under the Magical Method. It was truly a miraculous process that was greatly similar to the Scientific Method of earth, but also uniquely different. 

In the Scientific Method, there were 7 steps that were universally accepted. Observe, Question, Hypothesize, Research, Experiment, Analyze, Conclude. 

On the other hand, the Magical Method had 5 steps. Theorize, Design, Experiment, Verify and Conclude. 

An example of the Scientific Method at work would be: 

Observation: When you try to start your car, nothing happens. 

Question: How can I solve this problem? 

Hypothesis: There's something wrong with the car. 

Research: Probable causes could be a dead battery, ignition issue, empty gas tank. 

Experiment: Turn on the headlights, check spark plug wires, dip a stick into the gas tank. 

Analyze: Headlights work, strong ignition spark, no gas on the dipstick, even though the gas gauge reads half-full. 

Conclusion: The car is out of gas and there is a problem with the gauge that was showing an inaccurate gas level. 

Simple and efficient, which was why science remained undefeated on Earth. In Faust, at least on Fallon, magic was the equivalent of this with its own style that was as stated above. 

In the first step, Theorize, one would decide on the type of spell they were making. "I want to make a wind-based spell that can cause 100 men to lose their heads in an instant." 

Of course, the theory could be more descriptive and detailed. The less vague it was, the easier it would be to get the spell to work. 

For example, if the theory was: "I want to make a wind spell that would deprive everyone of air", you would be undertaking a wasteful task that could never be completed. 

It was best to be realistic and detailed here. Wishing for flamboyant and extravagant things would just lead to inevitable failure. 

Likewise, choosing the element the spell would fall under, its type i.e. offensive, defensive, support and its limits i.e. the number of targets, total distance/range, etc, were decided here. 

The Theorize stage was the foundation upon which the latter parts were built atop of. Failure to account for as many loopholes as possible here would lead to severe backlash later on if the spell failed.
