Chapter 357: Post Battle Haul (2/2)
”Urgh… so they aren't next to the formation huh? Does that mean I will have to wait here for another 30 days?” Alex questioned himself. The thought of this was quite terrifying. Being in the formation for over a month was not something he wanted to do.
”Maybe master will come to find me once they realize I am missing. Maybe they are already searching for me. I hope I am not very far away from them,” Alex hoped.
”I wonder if senior sister went back to fight that guy. I hope she won if she did. Although, maybe they stopped the competition after such a tragedy that happened,” he thought.
He sighed and went back to checking the storage bags of Zexi. The other things he found in there were some pills and talismans that were mostly useless for Alex aside from a few of them.
”Ugh… I doubt I can even reveal any of these items in public. They will probably kill me if they found out their High Prince is missing and I have his items,” Alex thought.
”I hope he didn't have a fami— wait, the Royal family is his family. Well, I hope he didn't have a wife a child,” Alex thought. He hated Zexi, but he wasn't heartless enough to wish badly for his family too.
”Although I remember master saying that the third brother of the emperor wasn't married. That's good,” Alex thought and went back to searching the bag.
The next thing he found was a white, oval ball. He took it out and held it. It didn't take him very long to realize that it was an egg. A notification popped up over the egg to tell him what the egg was of, but even without it, he would've known.
The black splotches on its shell were a dead giveaway. ”The Emerald Lizard's egg. I remember the auctioneer saying that the lizard has a high chance of entering the True realm and a minor chance of reaching the Saint realm.”
”This is a good find,” Alex thought. He didn't require a beast for himself, but he could certainly give this to somebody else he cared about.
He put that aside and started searching for more stuff until he found something that was interesting.
”Oh, what's this?” Alex thought and took out a woodblock. Then his eyes started shining brightly. ”Hahaha, No way!” he thought. He remembered the auction event very clearly and remembered every single item that was sold there.
This was something he had wanted, perhaps just as much as his armor right now, but had failed to get it because Zexi had outbid him without any hesitation.
The woodblock was actually a wooden box that housed alchemy ingredients. Alex quickly opened it and looked inside.
Just as he had expected, there it was. Inside was a dark-blue flower that was shaped like a lotus. Alex's eyes shined and he spoke in excitement.
”The Umbra Lotus.”
