Chapter 1002 Be Loud And Hones
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!
"This... This is a Body Tempering Type Pill!?"
"Congratulations, you have successfully found that it is indeed a Body Tempering Type Pill."
Davis lightly smiled before he clapped his hand twice in a lazy manner before he gestured, "Now, I wonder if you can recognize something else...?"
Elder Belias Alstreim gulped as he couldn"t take his eyes off the pill. He stared at this reddish-white pill in incredulity, wondering how he possessed this high-grade pill in his hands. He slowly turned his gaze towards Alchemist Davis, not believing his own inspection of the pill. Looking at him possess an indifferent smile that urged him to voice out the results, he clenched his teeth and grazed the other two black pills.
Two reddish-white pills appeared on his palm while releasing an aromatic fragrance, similar to the one he had already inspected.
He couldn"t help but gulp again in a dumbfounded manner, "Three Crude-Tier Pills..."
"What is it, Elder Belias? Your voice is too low..." An Elder echoed from the third tier.
"Yes! We couldn"t hear you properly!"
"That"s right, be more loud and honest. You don"t need to be wary since the concoctionist himself wants to be deeply inspected..." That Grand Elder, who got insulted by the Dragon Queen, couldn"t help but secretly sneer.
Just three Crude Tier Peak-Level Sky Grade Pills for all this buildup? They wanted to spit their saliva at Alchemist Davis for wasting their time!
However, Princess Isabella possessed a look of confidence on her face while she didn"t bother with that old fart. She felt a familiar aura from that pill, making her feel excited as her heart thumped.
Elder Belias Alstreim cast a look at those Elders with his mouth agape before he pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, and opened again, "King Grade..."
"!!!"
Everyone"s eyes narrowed into two tiny slits as their hearts skipped a beat.
"What?" Grand Elder Lloyd Alstreim possessed a confused smile, "I think we heard something else..."
"T-These are King Grade Pills..." Elder Belias Alstreim"s voice was still shaky.
"Of course, he said that they were King Gra..." That Grand Elder"s mocking words trailed off before he realized something incredulous, "What!?"
"Belias! Have you lost your mind!?" He stood up and shouted as he possessed a look of disgust.
Really? King Grade Pills!? Who was he trying to feed bulls.h.i.+t!?
Could it be that Elder Belias Alstreim was bribed or threatened with Alchemist Davis"s abnormally intense soul force!?
"I said that these three pills are all Low-Level King Grade Pills!" Elder Belias Alstreim raised his voice as he shouted in a conclusive manner!
When he came back to himself, he realized that the entire Pill Arena had gone silent for a whole second. He looked around with his two eyes and could see that the crowd"s expression was warping into a dumbfounded expression before a disbelieving voice echoed out!
"What!!!?" Elder Zeno Alstreim abruptly stood up in utter disbelief.
"!!!"
However, that wasn"t the end as almost everyone in the Pill Arena continuously stood up as if there were some kind of energy pulling them up, with each of them resounding a few words that described their disbelief in unison, making it up for a chaotic situation that almost instantly went out of control!
