Necessity was always the mother of invention.

As simple as a bucket would not be invented if it was a world where water could float in the air.

Such was the way of human beings.

Nothing was created unless it was really needed.

As the people came around to lift the lid of the pan, many of them were expecting to see the water dried up and nothing else.

However, to their surprise, the lid was opened and a white Crystalline substance remained behind.

Eros used his fingers against the white substance that remained behind and scrapped some out.

Then he brought some of it to Dan and then to victoria, "taste it!"

both of them looked at each other for a bit.

They looked the white crystalline substance Eros had given them, and then after a while of contemplation, they tasted it.

Victoria was the first person to act in her shook.

"impossible! It tastes just like SALT!"

"Wow!" many in the crowd of workers could not believe this and they all went one after the other to check the white crystalline substance.

Truly, it tasted like salt.

"But! it is not even blue like the ocean. How can it taste like salt?" Dan asked in surprise.

Eros heard this and face palmed. He did not even know how to explain to Dan that Salt could come in different colors as a result of different chemical combinations.

To the best of his knowledge, the science in this world was different and far behind what he was used to.

Eros made a mental note to teach Dan a bit about the periodic table when he had time.

But that would have to wait for when he had much less work to do.

Eros could hear the whispers as the workers that had tasted it talked with one another.

One of them finally summoned the courage and came to ask him.

"Baron, please forgive this old man for asking, but this with powder, can we really eat it?"

Eros understood the problem. The Salt these people were used to was blue in color just like the color of the Out-cast soul Salt fish.

Nevertheless, Salt was salt.

Eros turned to Victoria. She was the head of the merchant guild. He was interested in knowing what her opinion concerning the Salt production was.

Eros also wanted to know if the color of the salt was going to become a problem.

However, the state he saw Victoria in made him a bit worried.

She had a weird excited look on her face.

It was like a drug addict that had just seen a secret stash after a month of abstinence.

She breathed in and out heavily.

In the cold winter, the water vapor coming out f her nose was apparent to all.

Victoria might be a lover of the scholarly world, but she still came from a family of merchants.

Seeing what Eros had just done had got her excited.

at the moment, she was in a frenzied state for making money.

She could not help but envision how she was going to monopolize these market and how she was going to take over the salt trade.

She suddenly turned in Eros\'s direction. Subconsciously, she licked her lips.

Eros suspected that she had suddenly developed the divine urge to kiss him, but she looked like she had developed the urge to eat him.

"You!" she pointed at the elderly man that had asked Eros the question. "from now on, you are in charge of this project take hal of the workers from those building the Estate and start work immediately. I want a wide scale project. We are going to build a Salt Factory that extends here all the way to the unfarmed parts of the Estate."

Victoria suddenly started spitting out orders like a rattling Gun.

"If you do not have enough men, send word out to the other Merchant guilds. Tell them we are hiring. Remember, anyone that takes on job from us must swear a soul oath. We cannot let any one else know of this making salt formulae. I want productions to start immediately."

"Yes Ma\'am!" the Workers immediately went to work.

for Eros, this was the first time he was seeing Victoria take charge.

With how the men ran about to do what she said, he could tell that she was very good at it.

He decided not to disturb her. Besides, she looked like she was in her zone.

Eros could tell that the job was in right hands.

Just then, a lightning Crow stormed through the sky straight for the Manor.

Eros saw the Crow. He instantly knew it was a message for him.

Jimmy hurried to fetch the message and brought it to Eros.

The letter was sealed with a familiar seal.

One look at it and Eros knew who it was.

He opened it and read it\'s content.

"Finally, it\'s time!"

"Time for what?" Dan asked.

Eros turned to him, "to go get your sister of course."

Dan\'s eyes widened in excitement.

Jimmy suddenly spoke up, "My lord is that..."

"Yes, Jimmy. It\'s an invitation to attend the Viscount\'s birthday ball. All the Barons will be in attendance. You know what that means, right?"

Dan frowned, "Baron Bolos!"

Eros nodded gently.

He turned about as he headed to the Manor, "Come boy, we have some preparations to make before it\'s time."

Dan immediately ran after Eros. Jimmy also followed behind them.

...

Meanwhile, in a particular dark castle, Bunny was laid on a high table.

Maids in black uniforms stood about her.

They held her down, pinning her to the table with black ropes.

They struggled with her as she screamed loudly, Wriggling like a slug that had Ben sprinkled with salt.

She shouted from time to time in the intense pain that her soul went through.

Her fight with Eros had left her in her current undesirable state.

She had used her power to absorb the raw from of his soul energy and now, she was suffering heavily because of it.

Eros cultivated a kind of Primordial energy called celestial energy.

In it\'s raw form, it was plain poison to mortals.

Even for Ngozi, Xena and Caren to cultivate this energy, Eros had to change their Meridians and affect the flow of energy in their bodies in other for easy absorbtion.

That was an easy process.

Bunny, thinking that she was weakening Eros had taken his soul energy in it\'s raw form.

At the moment, her pain came right from her soul and through her meridians.

It was like liquid fire burning in her veins.

As she struggled, she even tried to cut herself.

She would do anything to relief herself of this pain.

But the maids held her steady.

A distance not so far away, a woman in a scary looking mask with blood stains on it watched with her arms folded.

Her face was not visible but it was obvious from her eyes that she was frowning.

Another person with a joker mask suddenly came from behind her.

"Hehehe!!!" he laughed weirdly, "it seems you got younger sister in a lot of trouble. Master will be very mad at you, Viscount!" His voice was light and nearly feminine.

"Joker, I\'m not in the mood for your trouble. Leave me a lone. Besides, Bunny was the one that wanted to use this as an opportunity to have her revenge. She understands the pain and risk of being a member of the order. It has nothing to do with me!"

Joker went about viscount like a dancing ballerina, "is that so? then why are you here!? Just tell me. Hehehe!!! your care for little sister Bunny has made you soft. Are you not supposed to be out there searching for that item, or," came closer whispering in her ear, "do you want me to do it instead." His voice suddenly changed and got deep.

Viscount immediately waved her hands. Her cross bow appeared from nowhere pointed right at Joker\'s head.

Both of them paused for a few seconds as their eyes were locked on one another. Viscount\'s finger massaged the trigger gently, "do you dare!?" her eyes focused solely on him and his one her.

It looked as if the tension between them was going to blow up, however, Joker suddenly took a step back, "of course, I do not dare. I\'ll let you treat your mission by yourself."

Viscount waved her hand and her crossbow disappeared.

She turned and walked away.

As she did, Joker\'s eyes followed her exit.

Just then, a person with a similar mask to that of Joker\'s but far less expressive seemingly materialized from thing air.

"Are we still doing the job, boss?"

"of course, taking the praise for bringing back the Tablet from Viscount would be a pleasure of mine. Ready the men we will start with the old baron. I heard he is leaving to attend a Viscount\'s birthday. It will be the best time to have fun...Hehehe!!!"
