Legendary Shelter Survival Guide

Chapter 207 Oh, the sweet mixture.

"Lucas, control."

Lucas looked at John for a few moments until the bloodlust started to subside again, and his gaze became normal.

"See, Uncle John? I can't control myself without outside help. I want to get this all out a once. But I am not getting the opportunity."

John could feel the sadness in his voice, he had the right words for a situation like this but saying something from the brain wasn't going to make things any better.

"Lucas, you have controlled it completely. Do you remember the time when you got this mark at first? Your nails elongated, your teeth became bigger, and your eyes were filled with sinisterness. It was horrible to look at you like this." John stated making Lucas remember that time again.

"But now, nothing like this has happened for a while now, see, this situation is very different from what we have handled till now but we are going to get past this. So what if you can't control it for a long time, that just means that you can use it in ways different than you might think right now. Give it a little thought, Lucas. This is also an opportunity. See your options..."

John said as he started moving to the stairs when he finally went upstairs leaving Lucas to his own thoughts.

Lucas sighed deeply as he forced a small smile on his face.

'He is right... god damn, that man is good.'

Lucas went in front of the furnace and looked at it cool off. He didn't want to multi-task and in its place, complete a single task at one time even if it would take him days to complete it.

A few hours later....

Lucas had used the hovel to get the ash out when he was finally able to resist the hotness inside the furnace. The ash was now on a big leather piece that was plain on the side of the skin.

John's ability to process the leather had become very good and it was showing in the way things were going with the leather pieces.

"Alright, ashes done."

Now that the ashes were kept on the other side to cool off, Lucas used this time to use the furnace again, only this time, he kept all the bone powder inside it.

Lucas counted to three and poured water to the brim of the bucket.

He looked at everything moving in the water and mixing together.

Lucas read the next part and waited for everything to mix completely and settle down.

He went to John, Sean, and Banrey consecutively to look at their work while the mixture was settling.

He passed sometime just like that for an hour when he came to the liquid again only to see that it was only done halfway, or even lower than halfway.

"Just how much time is it going to take?"

Lucas sat in his workshop scribbling some more proportions of the herbs he could mix together to make new products.

It was something he did not very often as these new proportions always came out unsuccesful.

It was a hit-and-trial method.

Finally, when he looked at the bucket again, the water had cleared a little on the surface and now he knew that the mixture had settled on the ground.

Lucas giggled involuntarily which made the others look at him and laugh. It was something Lucas did often when he was excited about stuff.

He took another bucket and kept it side by side with the one that contained the mixture.

"Hahhh..." Lucas picked up the bucket slowly and started to drain the water from the mixture carefully, the water flowed easily inside the bucket and in the bottom.

Lucas could see the gooey mixture that looked quite like the picture that was on the blueprint.

Lucas drained the water completely and now, only the dense mixture was left in the bucket.
