"Grandpa Doehring, let's get started!"
Seeing the blue vial in Doehring's hand, Linley spoke at once. He was already getting impatient.
"Squeak! Squeak! (You had this solution and didn't say anything? You made Boss worry for nothing!)"

Then Linley immediately began circulating the Dragonblood Secret Manual.

"Ah!!!"
Linley couldn't help screaming as his whole body began to tremble.
"Boss! Boss, are you all
