Chapter 1129: Upgraded (1/2)

Davis and Nadia arrived at the periphery of the Purple Guest Palace.

”Mhm?”

Once they closed in, he saw a lone figure standing outside the Purple Guest Palace, appearing quite hesitant, even fidgety. His eyes brightened as he recalled.

”Sophie, you're here!” He called out.

Sophie Alstreim froze stiff before turning around and looked at Davis with a surprised yet panicked expression, ”Oh!? Esteemed Alchemist went outside?”

”Yes, why are you waiting outside? Since I've requested something from you, just enter and wait.” Davis flew past her after talking to her.

Sophie Alstreim's eyes flickered as she saw the beautiful woman behind him, but she knew that she was a magical beast. Still, she couldn't help but become entranced for a second before she shook her head and followed them into the Purple Guest Palace's seventeenth floor.

Once they entered, Davis turned around and spoke, ”Since you are here, I take it that you finished the work.”

”Ah, yes!” Sophie Alstreim took out a spatial ring and handed it over in a beat, ”I failed.”

”Awesome!” Davis took the spatial ring with a smile, but his smile abruptly froze.

He blinked before he blurted out, ”What did you say?”

”Ah!” Sophie Alstreim retreated two steps as she became scared. However, she instantly explained, ”I was able to upgrade the Grieving Emerald Scythe to King Grade successfully, but I failed in helping it in the process of birthing an armament spirit.”

”Oh... I understand.”

”Alchemist Davis... As an apology, I used the help of a person and upgraded the Grieving Emerald Scythe to Peak-Level King Grade, and it also got its armament spirit, so please forgive me! I was unable to complete the work you have given me. I was afraid, so I couldn't help but borrow the help of my grandfather!”

Sophie Alstreim clasped her hands and bowed ninety degrees.

Davis's brows twitched, 'How much pressure did I unknowingly cast upon her?'

”It's alright...” He forced a smile, ”The price is equivalent to a Peak-Level King Grade Armament, right?”

”No!” Sophie Alstreim raised her head and shook, ”It's an apology.”

”I'm sorry then...” Davis spoke with a straight face.

”NO!” She panicked, ”I mean... It is my apo-”

”Whatever...” Davis shrugged, ”It's all the same, and I'm not angry or anything. In fact, I'm glad that you successfully managed to find someone who could upgrade my scythe to the Peak-Level King Grade. Your grandfather is Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, right?”

Sophie Alstreim looked a bit stunned before she slowly nodded her head.

Davis smiled, ”Tell him I said thanks...”

”...”

Sophie Alstreim felt captivated as she watched his smile. She blinked a second later before she lowered her head, ”I will...”

If he knew this beforehand, Davis felt that he could've thanked Grand Elder Krax Alstreim as they just met a short while ago. In any case, he felt that a reward is necessary for the completion of the work and also felt compelled to give so when she achieved four hundred percent of the result by upgrading the Grieving Emerald Scythe to a major level.

The Alstreim Family might've not been well-versed in Alchemy, but he knew that they sure do have Emperor Grade Experts when it comes to blacksmithing. However, they fell short of the Weapon Refining Villa in terms of blacksmithing as they didn't have a blacksmith who could create High-Level Emperor Grade Armaments, Artifacts, and other items.

The Weapon Refining Villa is a power specialized in creating armaments and artifacts. Their disciples are all blacksmiths and train in fire-attributed cultivation methods, and their power is not part of the Nine Western Territories.

The Ancestor of the Weapon Refining Villa could precisely create High-Level Emperor Grade Treasures and has even created armaments for the Alstreim Family upon being commissioned. However, it was not High-Level but peak Mid-Level Emperor Grade Armaments and Artifacts.

Weapon Refining Villa's Ancestor knew that it was not good to fatten up their rivals, so he didn't accept any commissions relating to High-Level Emperor Grade Armaments or Artifacts. However, he did gift a High-Level Emperor Grade Armament to the Falling Snow Sect's supreme beauty, Ancestor Tirea Snow.

However, Ancestor Tirea Snow declined it, saying that she was not interested in playing diplomatic games, much less marriage, which made Weapon Refining Villa's Ancestor lose face. He was the hegemon of a small-sized Territory that was located towards the south of the Falling Snow Sect, yet he was made a laughingstock at that moment.

But he didn't do anything worse at the end other than making it difficult for the Falling Snow Sect to acquire armaments and artifacts for a period of time.

Nevertheless, it wasn't that Ancestor Dian Alstreim was an inadequate blacksmith, but he didn't possess the methods to create High-Level Emperor Grade Armaments and Artifacts. Besides, he lacked the Body Tempering Manuals required to last him through the forging process, but he could somehow trade that with his Law Rune Stage Powerhouse.

Otherwise, with how long he lived, he would've been able to quickly learn and produce those if he possessed the manuals for it.

These points, Davis knew none, nor did he think about it other than the fact about blacksmithing prowess of the two powers. He had taken out the Grieving Emerald Scythe and was admiring its new form.

The previous silver blade with its edges and the tip filled with lustrous green was now full of deep lustrous green, making it shimmer in a glossy jade gleam. Even the long hilt seemed to be made from a better version of the Emerald Indic Ore.

Davis didn't know the specifics, but he could tell that this scythe had shed its skin, gaining anew with new materials added to it.

However...
