Chapter 775: Assen (1/2)

Alexi Ethren was seething in confusion.

What did Alchemist Davis want to do by making him the Emperor of the Ethren Empire?

Gain status? Perhaps, women?

But from what he saw, Alchemist Davis seemed to value relationships. Such a man wouldn't let his seed spread like wildfire.

Davis smiled, unaware that Alexi Ethren made him a stud in his mind, ”Heh, Alexi Ethren, think about what kind of information and resources you can get by being the Emperor of this Empire. The overall information and knowledge that you would gain will be far than the one you received from me, and your ancestor...”

”Don't you think that you should absorb all of this information that is deposited in the Treasury and the Imperial Library into your memory before abdicating the throne in a few years or a decade?”

Alexi Ethren became taken aback. Hearing it like this, becoming the Emperor and gaining access to the Treasury and the Imperial Library did seem tempting and something to look forward to, but he didn't get ahead of himself.

”What's in it for you? He asked cautiously.

Davis grinned, ”The same... I want the knowledge stored in the Imperial Library. As for treasures, I don't care, but I can see that if there is anything to my liking. Unlike the Conferred Queen, who has a noble and distinguished background, I'm a mere subordinate with some talent in cultivation, especially Soul Forging Cultivation. I still need to absorb a lot of information if I am ever going to survive or even make a name for myself in this world...”

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he nodded his head. This person in front of him possessed bizarre and heavenly techniques that restored blood essence; vitality. He had heard of no such technique, even when he went through the techniques his Ancestor Garvin Woller gave him.

But such a heavenly technique rested in Alchemist Davis's hands.

From this, he could see that Alchemist Davis should be a daring individual who puts his hands on every bizarre arts and technique that he could find. He mused that Alchemist Davis should be hoping for an odd technique in the Ethren Empire's Treasury. However, he knew the chances are that Alchemist Davis is going to be disappointed.

Nevertheless, even he didn't know what the Treasury held since he never visited it and never her the chance to visit it before. He had run away from the Ethren Empire while facing pressure in the past, after all. Then even after returning with Arianna Woller to the Ethren City, he still didn't go to the Treasury.

”Fine... Besides, I hate to say this, but I owe you more than I could pay back...” Alexi Ethren said before looking at his mother.

”I'll follow you all the way, my son... Besides, I have a score to settle with all those who bullied you after you were taken here...” Arianna Woller's gentle voice echoed before it became cold.

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he wryly nodded.

Initially, after strengthening himself to High-Level Law Sea Stage in the future, he thought he could exact revenge on his first brother, Hadre Ethren for the betrayal at the last moment but he didn't think that Hadre Ethren would lose his life before he could even recover his lost vitality he expended when he used the secret strengthening technique.

Ironically, the poor Hadre Ethren wasn't even part of the group who hid the information from the Alstreim Family. He was executed for something he didn't do or even had no idea of...

'Well, this is called Karma...' A twisted sense of satisfaction reveled in his heart, making his lips curve into a smile.

Davis nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face.

His target was indeed the knowledge he could gain from the Imperial Library and the Treasury of the Ethren Empire. For an Empire that had a history of six thousand years, there should be a mountain of knowledge that he could gain from heading there!
