Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 1072

"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.
After all, benefits topped their priority list!
Not to mention, it could be said that these younger generation members probably went through another round of brainwashing conducted by their family elders!
Otherwise, Davis saw no reason for them to be silent in front of him without a fight. Their mindset was similar to hotheaded youths; quite susceptible to provocation, and remaining level headed was something they could keep up with experience as long as someone doesn't provoke them.
But he did indeed provoke them with his schemes.
Nevertheless, only the top should've found out about this, but instead of making their findings explode, they should've suppressed the news. Otherwise, the faces of these people should be quite reluctant and jealous instead of looking at him with a reverent and admiring gaze.
'Mhm... Is my blonde hair an additional perk in gaining their affection...?' Davis mused with humor as he looked at Ravalat Alstreim stop in front of him. After all, the Alstreim Family seemed to take their blonde hair as their pride and joy.
Ravalat Alstreim waved his hand, and a jade case appeared in his hand. After opening a few straps, he pulled it open and showcased the object towards Alchemist Davis with a beaming smile on his face.
It was a white-colored object, and it looked like grass, but its edge was fang-shaped, giving it a sharp edge that made it seem as though it could cut through anything.
Davis's eyes lit up as he was expecting this ingredient to fall in his hands.
"This... Isn't this the Cloud Fang Grass? A Peak-Level King Grade Ingredient?"
Looking at Alchemist Davis feign astonishment, Ravalat Alstreim explained as he kept his smile, "Yes, Alchemist Davis is wise."
"I won't make myself a laughing stock by saying what this is used for as I don't know much about it, but I muse to an alchemist like yourself, it should be evident as to how valuable it is..." ...

"Indeed..." Davis nodded his head, "It is quite valuable as this is the main ingredient for a certain pill. It could also be used as a supplementary ingredient in some few Emperor Grade Pills as far as I could tell when assessing its medicinal efficacy..."
"I am pleased with this gift."
"I'm glad that you liked it!" Ravalat Alstreim chuckled before he moved back to his seat.
However, he suddenly stopped and shot a look at Kayan Alstreim, "I do hope that you have brought something equal in value... Otherwise, the Burning Sea Brigade's name would cry..."
"You!" Kayan Alstreim rushed forwards, unable to hold himself back.
However, Kayale Alstreim held him back as she sent him a soul transmission, "Brother, now is not the time!"
Kayan Alstreim calmed down, shook his little sister's blonde hair before looking at watchful black eyes. They were both short-tempered and would instantly resort to violence. When he got angry, she would stop him, and when she got angry, he would stop her.
He left her side and arrived before Davis. Like Ravalat Alstreim, he took a jade case from his spatial ring and presented it.
"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!!!'

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
