610 Spaceship (1/2)

An hour later, Alex arrived at Zekhram's house once again. Although Alex wanted to hide his space ability from Zekhram, he decided not to after knowing their background. If they wanted to leave this place, Alex would actually need to reconstruct the barrier.

For Atlas, who knew about the Space Element, it was easy to see that Alex had a Space Element. He already knew about it the moment he saw Alex. On the other hand, Zekhram would eventually know it.

Rather than hiding and making this process longer, might as well show it. Besides, Nelson said that these races didn't really have such importance toward Space Element.

”I see… So you are the same as Atlas, a Space Element user.” Zekhram let out a long sigh, wondering if this was a good thing or not. ”You must have learned many things from here, right?”

”Yes.” Alex nodded calmly.

They were sitting in the previous room where Zekhram met him. It was a bit weird to see someone who was tasked with a meeting that would need a few weeks, returned after only a few hours.

”I guess I should ask you first.” Zekhram paused for a moment and took a deep breath. ”What do you want to know?”

”First of all… I need to inform you first that the Undying King embedded a rune on my weapons.” Alex took out his sword from his Inventory, placing it on the table. ”This is the result.”

”Rune?!” This single word jolted his mind, making him straighten his body. He looked at Alex's eyes with a weird face before observing the sword. ”This…”

Alex narrowed his eyes when he watched Zekhram having a troubled look. ”Is there anything wrong about the sword?”

At first, he thought that the rune wasn't compatible with the sword, but with Atlas's knowledge, he shouldn't be so clueless about such common sense.

”A trouble… Well, I don't know if it's a problem or not, but considering you have a rune in your sword and spear, I need to recast some parts and fuse another metal.” Zekhram explained.

”Hmm? You have the metal, right?” Alex sensed trouble was coming. ”Don't worry. I have the metal, but it will take a bit longer than I expect to. Seeing that I need to do it for both weapons, I will need two weeks.”

”Two weeks?” Alex pondered for a moment and nodded. ”I don't have a problem with time. Do I need to pay more about this?”

”No, no. I will handle the cost. Besides, I am already planning to give some of my weapons to you, let alone metal. The problem would be the blood inside the weapons.” Zekhram shook his head helplessly.

”Blood?” The moment he mentioned it, Alex recalled what Teodross said to him. According to Teodross, he used his own blood to power up these two weapons. Alex wondered if he was talking the same blood.

”But I don't have any blood with me.” Alex shook his head helplessly.

”There is actually one place where you can get it,” Zekhram said.

His eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. Alex couldn't help but think, 'Am I inside a game world right now? I only get quest after quest…'

”Are you expecting me to bring the blood too?” Alex asked.

”I wish to ask you for it, but I know I have nothing that can move you.” Zekhram paused before saying, ”Actually, the Undying King, Atlas, did this, so you can ask him to do an account.”

”Bringing the Undying King?” Alex was confused.

”Yes. Just say that I need Ancient Blood for the two weapons. Don't forget to ask him to bring you to the Beastman Tribe, of course.” Zekhram let out a hollow laugh before returning to his poker face. ”In any case, he will surely take responsibility for it and accompany you to the beastman tribe to demand the blood.”

”So, the blood is in the Beastman tribe?” Alex furrowed his eyebrows, couldn't see the connection at all. First of all, Teodross should have no reason to give his blood to them. Secondly, since when did he become their goffer?”

Alex pondered for a moment and predicted what would happen if he accepted this. He would most probably get another task from the beast king and a reward. However, Alex had no good reason to reject him.

After pondering for a moment, Alex nodded but added a condition. ”I want to finish the matter in this place first since I want to know a few things.”

”Sure.” Zekhram nodded. ”You can ask me anything.”

”I want to know about the ship,” Alex said.

”Oh, you are cutting to the chase already?” He shook his head helplessly. ”Sure. I can lead you to the ship.”

”Secondly, I need to recover my Spiritual Energy. Going back and forth has exhausted a big portion of my energy.” Alex added another condition.

”Yeah. I have no problem with your condition. There is a certain place where there is no pungent smell like this. I believe you will also feel comfortable in that place.” Zekhram nodded.

Alex nodded, agreeing with him. He might summon the other spirits and decide their course of action. After all, the spirits might be more active outside of this place than in his card.

”Is that all of your condition?”

Alex thought for a moment and said. ”Probably.”
