Chapter 352: Memories (1/2)

Huff Huff

Both Alex and Zexi were huffing very heavily at this point. Alex's mind was starting to be hazy and there were times when he wouldn't be thinking of anything.

He was on the edge of falling into unconsciousness, and he did not want that to happen. He tried to hold on for as long as possible.

”You are quite tough… for someone… not in the True Realm,” Zexi said. ”You… have shown so many… amazing things… to me that… even I am curious… how you got… all of this.”

He flew directly up to Alex and finally laid his hands on Alex's head. ”Let's see what you have hidden in here,” he said.

Alex suddenly felt something rip into his head once again. Only this time, it wasn't as painful as before. This time I felt like someone was placing some sleeping gas on him, and he was slowly falling to sleep.

”There it is… the memories. Time to see what you know.” Alex could hear Zexi speak even as he started to lose his mind.

”N—no…” he said weakly.

”Kid, you are awake, right? Alright, time for you to listen to me. LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY!!” Zexi spoke. ”How do you find the Spirit Cleansing Lilies?” he asked.

Alex's mind immediately went to the times he found the Spirit Cleansing Lilies. He remembered the feelings he got when he was close to the lilies.

”What? Do you really just know which one to choose? That's certainly unexpected,” Zexi said while huffing in between. ”That doesn't help me. Alright, next question. Where did you find the many ingredients for alchemy?”

Alex tried to not think about the stuff, but that was hard. Hearing the questions, his mind wandered to the answers, and Zexi saw all of it.

Wen Cheng, the group of elders, flying to the southern forest, a formation full of different ingredients, a bunch of Spirit Cleansing lilies, the underground tunnel, the dead corpse on the side of the tunnel, the storage bags with the bunch of ingredients for Saint Rank pills.

Zexi saw every single one of the images that Alex's mind produced.

”Damn, this kid wasn't lying at all. He really did find them in the southern forest. What incredible luck,” Zexi thought. ”What about the talisman?”

Zexi saw the images of the corpse and the talisman inside flash through his mind. He thought it was quite interesting, but didn't think much of it

”Now… what about the sword?” he asked.

Alex thought of the time he had to kill the Cat Monster and how it had thanked him and asked him to take care of her son.

”What the hell? Th— That was a Saint Realm beast. There is a saint realm beast in the southern forest? Who killed it? Why is a sword stuck there?” Zexi flustered for the first time when he saw that.

”What happened to its child?” he asked.

Alex tried his best, but couldn't stop himself from thinking about Pearl. ”Y— You actually bonded with him. You bonded with the child of a Saint realm beast. This is big news. If I can get brother to take your beast, or… if I can take your beast… I can become the emperor instead.”

Suddenly, the memories that were flowing into him had something weird in them. ”What's that?” he thought and looked at it more carefully. ”What is that blue thing?” he asked.

Alex frowned when he heard that. He had just thought of logging out to show no more information and had decided that was a bad idea. Therefore, he had already lost his train of thought and was back to thinking about something else.

”No, kid. Go back to that. What was that blue thing?” Zexi asked.

Alex tried his best, but his mind still went to what he was thinking about. Forcing himself not to think about something only made him think about that thing more.
