it's more of a 'payment for services rendered' kind of thing. if something happens to eragon and cedric helps him out, he gets paid. not that he needs to guard him indefinitely in exchange for a single vial of blood. cedric would never take a deal like that
Their parley ended a few hours before dawn, separating while nursing their thoughts. After explaining the ancient language's ability to enforce oaths - and encouraging her to confirm the matter with Brom – Saphira was no less eager to seal the deal than he.

because i am also from a 3rd world country, i know the difficulties and have considered $1 or $2 but people keep sticking their hands into my money, taking more and more. instead of 3 times as many subscribers to break even (going from $3 to $1) its more like 4 or 5 times the requires number. i wish i could give more for less, but it's difficult for me

the problem with reducing price further is flat costs. ofc patreon takes a cut, but there are also flat fees on card transactions. something like 10-30c US. so if i make it $1 I end up paying 10-30% of that in flat fees (the card companies get this money). at that point we havent calculated what patreon gets, taxes And exchange fees (because i am not from US)

They weren't working with pure silica. Anyway, the point is they have no clue about nuclear operations in the first place. Even if they did, the energy needed to fission silica into carbon is a lot, and then to arrange those carbon atoms into a diamond lattice.
Yet, even if the energy issue was set aside, there was the problem of volume. The volume-ratio of sand to diamond was very far from being one-to-one. However, there was no mention in the novel of her using mountains of sand to condense the amount of diamond necessary for Brom's entire tomb.

Brom was shown to be pretty useless in the book. He even admitted to it, though the reason for his weakness wasn't stated explicitly AFAIK. His exact words were 'every time I reach for magic, it gets a little harder' or something like that.

'studying the ancient language properly and dilligently' means giving up wild magic so Brom can teach him said ancient language.
The old rider secretly wished one of his apprentice's spells would blow up in his face. Not enough to injure him badly, and not out of malice, but as a means for him to learn a little caution and humility. If something like that did happen, perhaps he'd be able to convince Cedric to give up such reckless pursuits, to study the ancient language properly and diligently.

That seems to be the general consensus x'D
He chuckled tiredly to himself. It was ironic—the whole reason for this journey was Eragon's training. Pressured by circumstances, Brom was accelerating it beyond the norm for a rider. Yet, when it came to his red-haired apprentice, he was doing everything he could to slow him down.

That's correct, but because he doesn't have anyone to train his mind against, he uses the life drain technique's 'side effect' to train by trying to keep their suffering from influencing him. It's mentioned in a later chapter.
Certainly, using it on humans or animals was rather unethical, but to the elves, even using it on plants and insects was too much. Cedric didn't think of himself as the evil wizard type, willing to do anything for power, but seriously…?

It's still up in the air if they will even run into Murtagh. He might just show up as a badguy later.
ch 14 Chapter 14
Instead of Arya, I prefer her mom (Eragon)
Book&Literature · f0Ri5
It's not really a spoiler so I might as well mention it, but Cedric's healing is a side-effect of life draining. He is basically increasing his life-force/mana reserves by sucking the life out of animals and saturating himself to the maximum. By repeatedly doing this, he expands how much he can hold, and because mana in the setting is similar to life force, it improves his healing factor.

like what?
Expect a chapter roughly every two days. In the beginning, there won't be much divergence from the canon storyline, but that will change as things progress. I'll do my best to speed through stuff until then.
