Chapter 987 The Second Round Of The Alchemy Exchange
The Pill Arena was crowded and boisterous! Most of the people knew how to be seated. The ones with the lowest status were in the first tier, and the ones with relevant status sat on the upper second tier.
There was also the third tier, but it was a separate tier that hovered over the Pill Arena, overlooking the entire stage from the northern side. The dignitaries were all seated there, including the Dragon Queen Isabella.
Davis took a top seat in the second tier, and for some reason, Nora Alstreim and Dalila Leehan also sat near him at the same time. Only a single seat separated them.
"You followed us until here?" Dalila Leehan possessed a teasing smile on her face as she cast a look towards the right at him. She was the one who sat closest to him, and towards her left was Nora Alstreim.
"There’s no other free space..." Davis cast a look around as she shrugged.
"Well, I don’t mind..."
"I didn’t ask..."
Dalila Leehan lazily frowned at his answer before she turned her head away and no longer bothered to look at him.
Princess Isabella, who was watching from above, inwardly sighed as she drooped her head. It wasn’t that she was disappointed that he didn’t converse with Dalila Leehan, but she was dejected at how he easily offended Dalila Leehan by remaining indifferent.
Of course, on the one hand, she felt that he should remain this way, but on the other hand, she wanted him to make powerful connections.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
’Maybe be I should tell him of my intent... But wouldn’t men usually reject their women’s thoughts...? I know that he is different, but what if he takes my words in a different meaning and openly woos Dalila Leehan... I can’t let that happen...’
Three Peak-Level Sky Grade Cauldrons!
*Woah!!~*
Despite the boisterous and noisy atmosphere in the spectator seats, the young alchemists on the stage seemed to act as if they have heard none. To them, the stage was absolutely silent, and only the breeze occasionally picked up, making the sounds of wind that brushed past their faces.
"Mhm? None of them seemed to be distracted by the crowd’s noisy atmosphere...?" Nora Alstreim suddenly asked as she captivatingly narrowed her blonde brows.
"Isn’t that obvious?" Dalila Leehan did the charming roll of her limp black eyes before she pointed towards the air, "This formation is not only defensive in nature, but it is also capable of blocking sounds. Have you never seen an alchemy exam that is conducted out in the open before?"
Nora Alstreim awkwardly giggled, "Yes, it’s my first time witnessing an alchemy exam like this... After all, I am busy with cultivation, increasing my battle prowess."
’And scheming...’ Another person inwardly added from the side.
"Haha, great!" Dalila Leehan’s bosom shook with her laughter, "This way, we can complement each other. I’ll be responsible for supplying you pills, and you’ll be responsible for protecting me. We’ll reach the peak together by relying on each other!"
Nora Alstreim awkwardly smiled again. It was true that Dalila Leehan was trying to recruit her for her prowess, but she had no such thoughts for the future as she felt that she could rely on herself and her close ones. However, things weren’t looking optimistic anymore, with the whole Alstreim Family looking at her like she had done something horrible.
It was unknown when they would be ambushed and, perhaps, attempt to kill her. For the first time in her life, she was nervous about stepping out of the territory of the Alstreim Family. This made her think that she was truly in need of external support.
’Dalila Leehan, or the... Dragon Queen?’
Nora Alstreim’s eyes flashed with a complex glint as she recalled the handsomely attractive face that she was trying to forget.
"Couldn’t the distracting sounds also be kept as a form of a test? It is useful for tempering one’s will, after all." A pure and handsome-sounding voice suddenly echoed beside them.
