MMORPG : Ancient WORLD - #125 - 125 Showing Strength

After Azgral and the Beastmen group left the throne room, the emperor also ordered everyone else to leave the throne room. In less than two minutes, the only individuals left in the room were the Emperor, Alex, and his shadow guardians.

After everyone left the throne room, Emperor Melvin used a golden scroll that, according to Lady Margaret, was a unique quality one-time-use scroll with a Seventh Rank space spell stored on it.

The spell isolated the throne room in its separate space, making it impossible for anyone to spy on them or enter the room for its active duration.

After the emperor was satisfied with the privacy, he left his throne, appeared before Alex, and then directly told Alex about his request, which took him by surprise as it was not what he expected the emperor to request.

“Emperor Melvin, You want me to ask Guardian Elmara to concoct a potion for you?” Alex asked.

“Domain Ruler, I know from the records left by my ancestors that Guardian Elmara of the Malefis Domain is a Legendary Alchemist.”

“I have the potion recipe and the ingredients, but no Alchemist on any known continent could concoct that potion. Even the Chief Elder of the Alchemist Guild and Elf Empress have failed to concoct it successfully.”

‘The potion recipe should be incomplete for even the greatest known alchemists to fail at concocting it.’ Alex thought, hearing the names of two big shots of Alchemy.

“I hope Guardian Elmara can concoct the potion, but I can’t enter the Malefis Domain and ask for her expertise because of the barrier,” Melvin said, silently waiting for Alex’s response.

‘He is an Elemental Ruler, so he shouldn’t have any problem passing through the mana storms around the Malefis Domain, so what is he talking about.’ Alex thought, confused by the statement.

“What is the Rank and quality of the potion?” Alex asked, not dwelling on the unknown for long.

“The potion is Unranked, with its quality being Legendary, and its name is Elixir of Rebirth,” Melvin replied.

‘Domain Ruler, The Elixir of Rebirth is the creation of Guardian Elmara, but I am not sure if she will concoct the potion, at least not anytime soon with her current mentality.’ Lady Margaret said.

‘This is surprising information, but it makes things much easier for me.’ Alex thought after hearing Lady Margaret’s opinion.

“Emperor Melvin, I am willing to ask Lady Elmara to try concocting the potion, and I hope she succeeds, but if the result is not positive, then there is nothing I can do about it,” Alex said with a smile.

Alex didn’t know if Lady Elmara would accept his request, and even if she did, he didn’t know how much time she would need to concoct the potion but all that didn’t stop him from gaining the favor of the most influential person on the human continent.

‘I will be an idiot to lose on such a god given opportunity.’ Alex thought, seeing the emperor having a bright smile on his face.

“Domain Ruler, You have my Eternal Gratitude, and if you ever need anything, please allow me to repay some of your kindness,” Melvin said.

‘The potion must be of great importance to him.’ Alex thought.

“This Space Ring has the potion recipe and all the ingredients required for making it with few other resources as a humble gift to Guardian Elmara.”

“As for Lady Elmara’s expertise fees, please inform me about them, and I will do my absolute best to fulfill them,” Melvin said as he handed Alex a silver ring with intricate designs carved on it.

“Domain Ruler, This space ring has a few gifts for you that will make things more comfortable for you on the human Continent and influential powers allied with the Empire,” Melvin said as he handed Alex a new similar-looking space ring.

‘I want to deny it, but the things he will offer will certainly be good.’ Alex thought, not immediately accepting the ring.

“Domain Ruler, The Ring has an Honorary Noble Badge that could help you avoid any unnecessary problems and will also help you save time.”

“I am doing this for my people’s safety as it will help you avoid taking any drastic action, so please accept it as a token of goodwill,” Melvin said, seeing Alex not accepting the ring.

‘If it’s just that, then there is no problem.’ Alex thought.

“I appreciate your kindness,” Alex said, accepting the ring and placing it into his inventory without checking it.

Alex had a small conversation with the Emperor in which he didn’t ask for anything related to Malefis Domain but mostly offered sneaky benefits with a clear intention to build a good relationship with him.

After leaving the throne room, Alex met with Azgral, the Beastmen group leader, and they went to a private hotel to talk.

————–

“Mr. Azgral, I want only the truth, so be careful of your words,” Alex said in an emotionless tone.

“Yanric is my Son, and he is also responsible for sending a group of his people to keep watch on you from the shadows, but he did it with no intention to harm you, but he sent his people to protect you,” Azgral said with a calm tone.

‘I fucking knew it.’ Alex thought, pissed by the confirmation but also relieved that he was out of such a bad situation.

Alex knew that if he hadn’t had the lucky opportunity to become the Ruler of Malefis Domain and had just acquired a [SSS] Rank legacy as planned, he wouldn’t have known anything about the Beastmen group, and things would have become terrible for him in the near future.

“I know Yanric didn’t send a group of strong Beastmen just to protect me out of goodwill for being his business partner, so tell me the real reason,” Alex asked.

“Yanric came to the Human Continent to locate a Mythical Item that has great importance to the Beastmen,” Azgral said and calmly started explaining Yanric’s unique Bloodline situation and why he came to the Human continent.

“It is sad that Yanric is born with a sealed bloodline, but at least he is not Dead, at least for Now,” Alex said, blatantly threatening, not caring about Azgral fatherly feelings or his status.

Alex was beyond pissed by imagining how he was inches away from hungry predators ready to use him for their purposes.

Alex wanted to make the Beastmen regret their choice, but he also understood that in this world ruled by the strong, they hadn’t done anything wrong, and according to them, they had pure intentions, and that was the only reason he was even entertaining the conversation.

“My ancestors have left records of a Mythical Artifact that could purify their bloodlines and do many other unbelievable things, but it was lost in an unfortunate event….” Azgral was stopped mid sentence by Alex.

“I will be happy to hear about your ancestor’s past and a mythical item, but you see, I am not in the mood right now, and the only thing I want to know is,” Alex said in a calm tone, but his next word had nothing calm about them.

“Why the Fuck your people followed me around and make sure, to tell the truth? And also hope it is very reasonable and good because if it is not, then every one of you will Die.” Alex said not interested in a history lesson.

Alex was a very calm and reasonable person, but he knew that to achieve certain things, using force was the only option, and this was such a situation.

“THUUDDDDD” x 7

The moment Alex finished his blatant threat, Darrien released intense bloodcurdling Killing intent, which made the lively face of even Azgral a peak Seven Rank Warrior white as it could get with clear dread and fear in his shining eyes.

The group of sixteen Beastmen Standing behind Azgral had it worse as Seven collapsed unconscious while the remaining nine felt the full brunt of the killing intent, as their bodies trembled and their eyes filled with horror like seeing their inevitable Death.

Alex didn’t feel an ounce of killing intent, but by just seeing the miserable condition of the mighty group of Beastmen, he felt terrified, but more than that, he felt excited.

“You ugly Hippo heard him, so start speaking before I make you,” Darrien said as he stopped releasing the killing intent.

Azgral took a deep breath, and then the Black ring on his finger turned into a black bracelet that he placed on the table.

“This bracelet was forged by [Monarch of Forge], a Dwarven Blacksmith, in hopes of replicating the capabilities of the true Ancient Treasure that was cable of purifying anything, but he failed,” Azgral said.

Alex was ready to tell Azgral to get to the point and answer his question, but he swallowed his words after hearing his following words.

“The Ancient Treasure was made of two individual items that could work separately just fine, but they showed their true value by being combined, and their names are [The Ancient Red Gem] and [The Archaic Ring],” Azgral said.
