Minutes later

Once Alex and the others have settled down, Queen Mother went out to call the Alchemists

The Alchemists came backquite happy with Alex

”So, where should we go from here, Eldritch?” Professor Frances said as she sat down on the nearest sofa Professor France's Companions chose to seat behind her, as they stared at Alex and Duplicator warily

”Well how about you? What do you think?” Alex shot back in reply, as he see Professor Frances' questions ”I already used a lot ofso now We are in a truce after all”

”…” Veins started to appeared on Professor Frances' face, as if what Alex said to her has struck a nerve

”Oh, and now you want to boast that you did so important? Typical of you” Professor Frances replied as she brought out a glass of ” Alex watched as the seery professor drank all of the milk

”What, do you want some liquid refreshaze on her ”I can give you one if you want”

”No! That is not what I want” Alex replied as he shook his head ”We are here to talk about ill do next, not about that damned milk of yours! hell, maybe that is not even milk God knohat kind of chemicals could be there!”

”This is the oat, space Whale, Void Dweller, and many more creatures were the source of this lass on the table

”Wow, that looks delicious…” Asteria an to flow froet more delicious if it has honey…”

”Oh, I can do that too” The professor replied as she gave an excited smile to Asteria ”If you have some honey, I can try it out withas I, Asteria, will it, I can give you all my hidden stock of honey!”

”Wait, you have a hidden stock of honey? I thought the one I hid earlier was your last supply?”

”Oh, that was a slip of tongue Sorry about that, Alina”

”Oh please, let's get serious now!” Alex said, feeling extremely irritated with Professor Frances ”Are you really serious with our truce? I feel like you are just treating it like a joke”

”Cheer up, Eldritch Why are you so hung up anyway?” Professor Frances replied as she shrugged her shoulders ”We got the attention of the Pantheon acy easily I think that merits so can go wrong, it will go wrong” Alex said, quoting the words that Alina muttered to hio s later! After all, we are dealing with an extremely powerful team of Superhuht each other! There is no way that I will stay calht?” Alex heard Lauren round, with confusion evident on her tone

Alex ignored theseat the professor

The professor's only action was to stare back at Alex as she spun the lass stopped spinning that she stared to talk

”Obviously, we should prepare ourselves before the Pantheon arrives” The professor said as she tilted her head ”I a with us, but underneath that promise to talk is a possible attack from them We have to prepare for that kind of event”

”Seeing that they treat the Legacy as a very iht us off just to keep it safe” Alex said as he felt like agreeing hat the professor said It

”It's all set then!” Professor Frances exclaimed as she stood up from her seat ”Some of us should start reconnaissance to watch out for the arrival of the Pantheon, while the others should start laying countless traps With all of our skills here, our chance of success is within the acceptable limit”

”…Well said, professor” Alex said as he realized that even if Professor Frances had soate tasks properly

The professor tried to not show it, but she see praised She sat back on her seat as she crossed her legs as she resu

”Now that we have decided on e should do for the following days, it is ti that we should be talking about right now” The professor then gave a slight glance at Lauren as she said,

”We should discuss about the true nature of the Legacy of Tartaros”

After hearing what the professor said, Alex could not help but give a nod, as he knew that talking about the Legacy right now is a viable task to do

”Since we are all here already, sharing information will never hurt any of us” Alex replied, as he consented to the professor's request ”After all, we all want to get the sa that I should not hear?” Lauren said as she saw the suddenly serious atmosphere between the Travelers and the Alchemists ”Even if I do not like to be left out here, maybe I can sit this one out”

”No, you will stay” Professor Frances replied before Lauren could leave ”Since you are already this deep with us, for you to listen more won't make any more difference”

”Is that so…” Alex was not sure if Lauren took that statement well, as she only sat back on her place, with her face looking extremely uncertain
