Chapter 1002: Be Loud And Hones (1/2)

Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim knew that he was right to have remained silent at this point! The more he thought there was something between the Dragon Queen and Alchemist Davis, the more he felt that they weren't normal master and subordinate.

'Perhaps, it's just my imagination, and the Dragon Queen is purely worried about her subordinate forming a heart demon...' Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim mused.

After all, the Dragon Queen was known for over-rewarding or doting on her subordinates.

Elder Belias Alstreim was thinking of moving on, but his thoughts were suddenly interrupted.

”Wait!” Davis, who was silent all this time, raised his voice.

”I understand that you're watching out for a rising star, but you haven't properly investigated the pill yet...”

Everyone became astonished by his sudden burst, while Elder Belias Alstreim came to possess a difficult expression on his face.

He didn't want to overly investigate the pills since he would have to report about it in a detailed manner to the people, explaining what kind of pill it was but obviously, he couldn't do something like that to Alchemist Davis since he wanted to curry favor, not to mention that it would be humiliating to the Dragon Queen who is their benefactor and also a generous sponsor.

Yet, if he didn't announce the result that Alchemist Davis became the last, people would start suspecting of him being biased, showing favor towards Alchemist Davis.

He inwardly felt reluctant, but what can he do if the pill concoctionist himself wants to be investigated properly?

Elder Belias Alstreim possessed a blank expression on his face before he turned back and looked at Alchemist Davis.

”Are you-”

”There is no need to hold back...” Davis shook his head as he lightly smiled.

'Fine! If you want to be humiliated so much at the cost of maintaining an honest image, then don't blame me!'

”If you insist, then I can't decline...”

Elder Belias Alstreim took the vial from Alchemist Davis with a swipe of his hand and narrowed his eyes. Now that he really looked at it, he was unable to identify the name of the pill or its effects, but as a person with discerning eyes, he was able to see that it was undoubtedly a trash-tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pill.

When he opened the lid of the vial, the pills reeked with the odor of pill waste, making it obvious and conclusive that they were indeed trash-tier pills. He poured those three pills over his palm and started to go through a series of inspections that made him garner some of the effects of the pill.

He touched, gently grazed, and brought his finger to smell the essence of the pill, but just the odor left him gagging while he almost dropped the pills on the ground.

Fortunately, he just turned his head and looked as if he politely sneezed to the side.

Davis almost laughed at seeing that, so he politely advised, ”Graze the surface.”

Elder Belias Alstreim stared at Alchemist Davis in a suspicious light before he grazed a point with a bit of fire, and to his horror, that point cracked! He stopped as he widened his eyes before he just shook his head, musing for what on heavens was he afraid when it was the pill owner who told him to graze the pill.

*Crack!~*

Just when he was about to continue, cracks continued to form on that black pill, causing him to be taken aback again. Then as the cracks reached the other end before coming around to the starting point, the surface seemed to break before a burst of fragrance surged out like a tide!

Elder Belias Alstreim's eyes widened in shock before he glanced at the reddish-white interior of the originally waste-black pill. The scent that grazed past his nose made his nose twitch in familiarity. It was... It was similar yet aromatic than another pill, which he had inspected before the start of the Alchemy Exchange.

This time, his mouth became agape in shock again! But it was for another reason altogether!
