Chapter 122  122. New Discovery

This was a supreme specimen amongst magic plants. It contained a truly terrifying amount of mana inside it to the point that when enough were gathered mana would start condense and become viable to the naked eye, almost like a group of fluttering pixies, hence the name of the flower.

The use of such a powerful plant couldn't be underestimated. It was mostly used in powerful potions reserved for 1st class fighters and mages, even some potions for master class level combatants still used this magical plant so even for a place as wealthy as the sites where you can plant the pixie's tear lily were of keen interest.

In fact, If it wasn't for the fact these plants needed to be grown out in the wild combined with the fact it was a good experience for new students in Sanctuary, they would grow internally and closely monitored.

It's because of the treasured and rare nature that Nina couldn't hold back her curiosity and excitement as she begs to complete the research tasks and as demented given to her by the magic department

As Nina continued her journey experiments her face was clouded with confusion.

She observed and gathered data on the growth of the pixie lilies but for some strange reason Lucius saw that she kept glancing back and forth between him and the pixie's tear lily.

That was until Nina's strangely authoritative voice sounded out

"Lucius can you come help me here, I need to check something"

Lucius was slightly confused but still walked over to help her.

He crouched down next to her to get a good look at the flowers but before Lucius could react, Nina grabbed him by his tie pulling him in

Sniff!

Suddenly, Nina placed her head near his neck and took a strong snif

'WTF!'

Lucius was left shocked but this sudden strange development

But although Lucius was confused, Nina was practically jumping with joy.

"That's it! I knew I was right!"

Right now she was prancing around with the expression of someone that had discovered a major breakthrough!

" Calm down Nina." Said Lucius

"Care to explain what is going on?"

"Lucius, remember when I first met you and I said you had a nice smell, kind of like the smell of magic?"

"Yeah…" replied puzzle

"Well, I was slightly off, the smell you had wasn't that off magic but that of Pixie tear lily. It's just been so long since I last smelt one that I couldn't remember it properly. Pixie's tears can be used in potions but their scent also has the added effect of stimulating and activating the body making it easier to gather mana. It's because of this that powerful mages in the magic tower often decorate their laboratory with pixie's tear lilies. But the strangest thing is that you don't just smell like the pixies tear lilies, you also have the same ability to make it mesh easier for me to gather mana! It's almost like a mini magic potion!"

 At first, when Lucius heard this he was left speechless.

How could his body and smell have the same properties of a magic plant?

But it wasn't long before the realisation suddenly hit him

'Wait, no way.. is this because of the charming scent talent?'

Gradually, the more Lucius thought about it, the more it made sense.

Now Lucius could understand why the charming scent talent was a purple-grade talent despite most of the time realistically just being a glorified perfume!

If the heroine's favoured smell was actually something that had special effects then the usefulness of [Charming Scent] could be overwhelming.

It was a talent that didn't show much ability, but when it did it really shined!

Curious, Lucius couldn't help but ask,

"So Nina, now that you've made this groundbreaking discovery,what do you plan to do?"

"Of course I still have to research this"

Stated Nina matter of factly

"I have to compare your effects to the effects of the genuine Pixie's Tear Lily and see how they match up."

Hearing this Lucius nodded understanding as he said

"So you want to carry on sniffing me some more."

It was then and only then, did Nina finally snap out of her scientific fervour.

A fierce blush appeared on her face as she realised just how embarrassing her situation was

"Ding!"

"LP+ 30"

But Lucius seemingly didn't notice Nina's embarrassment and carried on speaking

"Well then, since you need as much data as possible, it's best not to waste any time. Come, let's sit."

As Lucius said this he sat down against a nearby tree and patted his lap

"L-Lucius , w-what are you trying to do!"

Hearing this Lucius put on an innocent face

"What am I trying to do? I'm not trying to do anything. You need to be close to me to get the best effects. Naturally the best effects could only be gained by sitting in my lap."

Seeing Lucius say such shameless words without even blushing left Nina completely flabbergasted.

A boy and girl sitting together so close… it was so… so lewd!

But then Nina began to hesitate.

Was it actually that lewd? Lucius and her were friends after all…

Friends hug each other all the time so what's so different about sitting in Lucius's lap

The poor innocent Nina didn't know that this was how her "friend" would slowly seduce her to fall into his palms

Eventually whether it was from her naivety or boldness, Nina slowly walked forward before sitting in Lucius lap

Her small and petite body sat In his lap and Lucius felt as if someone placed a pillow on him.

She was light as a feather and In Lucius's mind she felt so fragile as if a hug from him too strong would shatter her to pieces.

And it wasn't just Lucius who was clouded with miscellaneous thoughts, Nina's mind was also running wild, her heart was thumping in her chest so loudly she thought an ass drum was going off.

Her mind struggled to concentrate as she constantly squirmed in between Lucius's legs as she felt his strong body surround hers
