Chapter 1072 “Gifts“
"Yes." Weiss Alstreim’s lips slightly widened, "If Alchemist Davis feels that my sincerity is lacking, shall we put it to the test?"
"Why not?" Davis became amused, "I’m rather curious to see what the Young Master of the Alstreim Family brought me to ’congratulate’."
Weiss Alstreim smiled with suspense. He took to the air and crossed over the heads of a multitude of youths as if stomping on them. Their faces went red in anger, but none of them even said a word about it.
Weiss Alstreim gave a short glance of disdain before finally arriving in front of Alchemist Davis.
"Wait!"
A voice resounded out, causing Weiss Alstreim to stop in his tracks. He turned his head, and smilingly spoke, "Is there anything you want from me?"
Ravalat Alstreim narrowed his eyes as he stood up, "I don’t want anything from you, but since I was the first person to arrive, then I shall be the first person to gift Alchemist Davis unless stated otherwise!"
"That’s right!" Kayan Alstreim stood up as he nodded his head, "I agree since I’m second in line while my little sister is third."
"Oh?" Weiss Alstreim chuckled, "It’s rare to see you two agree on something..."
Both of their expressions minutely fell.
"Could it be that you two are actually afraid of my... sincerity?" Weiss Alstreim cocked his head. His smile seemed to be smeared with a mocking light that provoked Ravalat Alstreim and Weiss Alstreim.
"Hmph! It’s not enough just being sincere! Let’s see whose gift manages to catch Alchemist Davis’s eyes..." Kayan Alstreim spoke in a cold voice.
"Fine with me, but your friend there doesn’t seem to be interested?"
"He is not my friend..." Ravalat Alstreim’s expression was cold. He harrumphed like Kayan Alstreim before looking at the esteemed person.
"Alchemist Davis, shall I?"
"Go ahead..." Davis imperceptibly shrugged.
He was rather disappointed that he was unable to feast his eyes over a sudden battle taking place. Nevertheless, he didn’t think of sending them out without deceiving them out of the offerings first.
Perhaps, they knew that he was the one who probably set them up to this, but none of them said otherwise because they knew that they couldn’t afford to lose the opportunity to earn his favor.
"Implacable Light Fruit... A Peak-Level King Grade Ingredient used for alchemy, or so I heard. When I inquired the seller who sold this to me, that person said its light would never be mitigated even after turning into a pill." Kayan Alstreim explained.
Indeed, even though he had tried his chances in the Verdant Alstreim Treasure House, he was unable to find something like this, leaving him with no choice but to ask around before he finally chanced upon an Elder who possessed it.
It seemed to be not a coincidence as that Elder seemed to be a High-Level King Grade Alchemist. It took him a fortune to convince and buy this as it cost around sixty thousand High-Level Spirit Stones.
"Good! The Implacable Light Fruit is not something inferior to the Cloud Fang Grass, which is born from the amalgamation of heaven and earth energy; spiritual energy."
Ravalat Alstreim imperceptibly harrumphed in annoyance. He also used a similar method and used ten thousand more High-Level Spirit Stones to obtain the ingredient, but he didn’t end up as the winner. He felt a bit frustrated.
As for what Weiss Alstreim brought, who cared? He was only interested in defeating his rival, and not some trash who cheated his way through to the Young Master’s position.
Kayan Alstreim returned with a smug smile on his face. He stood beside Kayale Alstreim but didn’t let her leave as he sent her a soul transmission.
"Kayale, you can go after that trash..."
Kayale Alstreim obediently nodded her head before she looked at Weiss Alstreim, her lips curving into one of disdain.
"En, you can go ahead."
Weiss Alstreim chuckled, "If you insist..."
Davis’s eyes shook a bit in amusement as he looked at Kayan Alstreim and Kayale Alstreim. These two definitely had a deep brother and sister relationship. He could tell that they were likely infected with the siscon and brocon syndrome, but not that he was one to say.
Weiss Alstreim arrived in front of Alchemist Davis and to out a tiny jade box. He opened it and revealed.
"Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal... I’ve only had the chance to procure one of the five petals..."
"!!!"
Davis almost stood up in shock.
Heavens! He only wrote this in the list with half-hearted feelings that if he managed to procure, it would be like a fantasy come true! He thought that he would never be able to locate one if he searched on his own, but never did he think that he would truly obtain one, at least not in this Territory.
But to think Weiss Alstreim had procured it... It could be seen that he used some back route to obtain the list, but where on the Fifty Two Territories did he obtain this Undaunted Purple Lotus Petal?
’Mhm...?’ Davis noticed something very minute laced on the back of the tiny purple petal.
’Motherfucker! It’s poisoned!!!’
