223 The Oracle (2/2)

He gave the hair and the device to Ken to put them in the treasury but now it seemed like the rusty old thing was an ancient artifact.

”Hey, tell me what you're talking about?”

It was very weird for Don to see the big dragon staring at them confusedly as Don removed the device from his chest and then the big dragon turned into an elegant woman in his eyes.

”Here”

Looking at her leaning towards him with prying eyes, Don gave the device to Reghys.

”I call the device, the Oracle”

Arwen and Amaryll waited patiently for them to explain what's happening.

”cool”

Reghys gasped.

”Your majesty, the Oracle somehow dispel the effects of the mask as well as show the cultivation level of the others to the wearer”

”Okay”

Don let the information sink in

”What else can it do?”

Just like Ken said, no one knew such a device exists and if someone knew about this device, it would shake the entire world. Even the most powerful being in this world didn't have the ability to sense someone's cultivation level without seeing the magical fluctuations.

Don didn't care about what the device might do for others, but for him, it was a priceless treasure. Until now the cultivation level of others has always been a mystery to him and he had to plan everything extremely careful and even if he planned everything, if his opponent surprised him with a higher level of cultivation, the consequences would have been dire.

But now with this device, no one could surprise him with their cultivation level because he would know it before they even show their magical fluctuations.

”As far as we have seen, the wearer can see through any disguise if the wearer concentrate enough and sense the cultivation level of anyone who is in front of the device ”

”EEEK!”

When Amaryll heard Ken, she squealed and ran behind Arwen and covered her body with her hands.

”Did...did you see me... naked?”

She was embarrassed to the point where her face completely blushed red

”Ken?”

Don didn't have any perverted thought but he wanted to hear from Ken whether the device could see through clothes.

”No, your majesty, the wearer can't see through the clothes”

Ken sighed as Reghys nodded at Amaryll.

”yes”

”Are you sure?”

”I'm a dragon, elf, I don't lie like humans and Astrels”

Reghys rolled her eyes as Amaryll slowly stepped aside from Arwen but she still looked cautiously at the oracle in Reghys's hand.

”But who knows, in the future, I might be able to tweak the oracle to do so?”

Ken teased Amaryll and winked at her

”Don't you dare, you pervert old man”

Amaryll gave a death stare at Ken as he chuckled and looking at her blushed face, Arwen too joined Ken and laughed.

”Your majesty!”

Suddenly Don heard Joel's voice and when he looked at where the voice came from, he saw Joel excitedly running towards him as he had something that Don would like.

”I found the alchemist you asked for, your majesty”

(A day ago)

”Tsk tsk tsk, I told you not to disappoint me, Kayako”

King Noa said looking at the woman in chains while a half naked who wore only a piece of cloth to cover his lower body was feeding grapes to King Noa.

The woman had mud stains on her face, hair and her clothes were torn.She had the features of a beautiful woman, but now she resembled a poor beggar on the streets.

The two men beside her looked even worse as they had wounds all over their bodies and their faces were deformed because of the beating they took from King Noa's guards.

”I know you're not at the level of the alchemist god, Henkie daams or even at your previous sect master, Horikage but still, how hard can it be to concoct a simple pill like Weludin?”

”It's..not...a simple pill...you bastard”

The brawny man on Kayoko's right stuttered as he wriggled himself to escape from the chains.

”Is that how you talk to your queen?”

King Noa pouted and looked at the half naked man as he disappeared from Noa's place and appeared beside the brawny man.

”No, don't”

But before the words could escape Kayoko's mouth,the half naked man kicked the brawny man in the face with so much force as Kayoko saw a couple of teeths flying before her.

”Please stop”

Tears flowed out of Kayoko's bloodshot eyes but the half naked didnt stop beating the brawny man.

The brawny man growled in pain as King Noa rolled his eyes

”I think he had enough, Teru”

Only when he heard King Noa, he stopped kicking and appeared beside Noa again.

While the man resumed feeding Noa the grapes, Kayako crawled towards the brawny man and she couldn't stop her tears falling onto his face.

”Nanbu, are alright?”

Nanbu,the brawny man coughed up more blood and tried to smile

”you…(cough) seriously...ask(cough)...this...now?”
