Chapter 999: Top Five (2/2)
”You have not disappointed us, Claudius...” Elder Belias Alstreim patted his shoulders before he looked at the crowd and announced, ”This is a Weeping Saint Beast Pill. It is a pill that is used to make Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts uncontrollably cry by making their tear glands inwardly surge with their own energy, making it so that they temporarily lose eyesight for a few hours, and till to date, it is an extremely useful pill that works on most Peak-Level Saint Beast Magical Beast found in the Alstreim Family Territory.”
”Three Normal Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills and two Advanced Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills!”
Two Advanced Tier Pills!? Many became shocked at Claudius Alstreim's pill concoction that some of them started seeing him in a new light.
Claudius Alstreim smirked, ”Does Elder think I would get the first place?”
”Mhm...” Elder Belias Alstreim shook his head, ”Not likely...”
”I see... So, I'll settle with second place!” Claudius Alstreim laughed with a sharp expression on his face.
He cast a glance at Dalila Leehan before hatefully looking at Nora Alstreim in the spectator's seats. Clearly, he was pissed off that he didn't manage to get the first place because of an outsider participating in this Alchemy Exchange.
However, he didn't say anything in the end.
”So I'm in the third-place... sigh...” From a distance, Sophie Alstreim inwardly sighed.
Elder Belias Alstreim looked at the third tier, ”Initially, it was decided that Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim would especially nurture the top five, but now what should we do?”
*Woah!!~~*
Specially nurtured!? That means a chance to become a disciple to Grand Elder!? The audience's jaw dropped in astonishment as their eyes focused on the third tier.
”You are right...” Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim rubbed his blonde beard, ”I have decided to nurture five talented alchemists of our family who manages to get into the top five of this Alchemy Exchange, but the two whom I think would end up in the top five necessarily do not need my attention as they have their own way to learn, not to mention that they are outsiders whom I cannot teach or do have the ability to teach.”
”Grand Elder, it looks like we have no choice but to take only three of them in...” Elder Belias Alstreim suggested.
”True, I could take three out of the five as my workload would lessen, but our Ancestor who had instructed me to nurture the top five would become disappointed with me if I do such a thing!” Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim revealed.
So it was an order from the revered Ancestor himself!? No wonder the rewards were higher than usual...
Most of the Elders couldn't help but think while the people were utterly flabbergasted.
Ancestor what? Ancestor who? They had not come in contact with such a person, but their brains trembled at the mere mention of that word as the Elders echoed that word with respect.
The crowd became abnormally silent, speaking with hushed voices, confirming their doubts.
Who else could it be other than their one and only Powerhouse safeguarding the Alstreim Family, Ancestor Dian Alstreim!?
Indeed, Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim had especially received word from Ancestor Dian Alstreim to nurture talents. Otherwise, he would be sitting in his grand mansion, enjoying the life that he had fought for so hard in his youth. Another confusing matter for him was that, if it weren't for Ancestor Dian Alstreim's vague words at the time they met, he wouldn't have thought of inviting Alchemist Davis either!
Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim had no idea why Ancestor Dian Alstreim had an interest in Alchemist Davis's alchemy skills in the past, but he could finally see why with all that happened!
