Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-775

Alexi Ethren was seething in confusion. 

What did Alchemist Davis want to do by making him the Emperor of the Ethren Empire?

Gain status? Perhaps, women?

But from what he saw, Alchemist Davis seemed to value relationships. Such a man wouldn't let his seed spread like wildfire.

Davis smiled, unaware that Alexi Ethren made him a stud in his mind, "Heh, Alexi Ethren, think about what kind of information and resources you can get by being the Emperor of this Empire. The overall information and knowledge that you would gain will be far than the one you received from me, and your ancestor..."

"Don't you think that you should absorb all of this information that is deposited in the Treasury and the Imperial Library into your memory before abdicating the throne in a few years or a decade?"

Alexi Ethren became taken aback. Hearing it like this, becoming the Emperor and gaining access to the Treasury and the Imperial Library did seem tempting and something to look forward to, but he didn't get ahead of himself.

"What's in it for you? He asked cautiously.

Davis grinned, "The same... I want the knowledge stored in the Imperial Library. As for treasures, I don't care, but I can see that if there is anything to my liking. Unlike the Conferred Queen, who has a noble and distinguished background, I'm a mere subordinate with some talent in cultivation, especially Soul Forging Cultivation. I still need to absorb a lot of information if I am ever going to survive or even make a name for myself in this world..."

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he nodded his head. This person in front of him possessed bizarre and heavenly techniques that restored blood essence; vitality. He had heard of no such technique, even when he went through the techniques his Ancestor Garvin Woller gave him.

But such a heavenly technique rested in Alchemist Davis's hands. 

From this, he could see that Alchemist Davis should be a daring individual who puts his hands on every bizarre arts and technique that he could find. He mused that Alchemist Davis should be hoping for an odd technique in the Ethren Empire's Treasury. However, he knew the chances are that Alchemist Davis is going to be disappointed.

Nevertheless, even he didn't know what the Treasury held since he never visited it and never her the chance to visit it before. He had run away from the Ethren Empire while facing pressure in the past, after all. Then even after returning with Arianna Woller to the Ethren City, he still didn't go to the Treasury.

"Fine... Besides, I hate to say this, but I owe you more than I could pay back..." Alexi Ethren said before looking at his mother.

"I'll follow you all the way, my son... Besides, I have a score to settle with all those who bullied you after you were taken here..." Arianna Woller's gentle voice echoed before it became cold.

Alexi Ethren became taken aback before he wryly nodded.

Initially, after strengthening himself to High-Level Law Sea Stage in the future, he thought he could exact revenge on his first brother, Hadre Ethren for the betrayal at the last moment but he didn't think that Hadre Ethren would lose his life before he could even recover his lost vitality he expended when he used the secret strengthening technique.

Ironically, the poor Hadre Ethren wasn't even part of the group who hid the information from the Alstreim Family. He was executed for something he didn't do or even had no idea of...

'Well, this is called Karma...' A twisted sense of satisfaction reveled in his heart, making his lips curve into a smile.

Davis nodded his head with a satisfied smile on his face.

His target was indeed the knowledge he could gain from the Imperial Library and the Treasury of the Ethren Empire. For an Empire that had a history of six thousand years, there should be a mountain of knowledge that he could gain from heading there!

Even if it wasn't going to be useful in the other Territories, at least, he could learn more about the world and form a general foundation in his head for the plethora of resources that exist in this world. As a cultivator, especially an Alchemist, he was rather picky about the term 'foundation'.

Alexi Ethren took a deep breath before he cast a glance towards the third level. He closed his eyes for a moment before opening his mouth, "Let's go!"

"Yes!" The three Imperial Protectors finally stood up at the same time.

They were all ecstatic, but at the same time, they were worried about what would happen to the Ethren Family from now on.

Alchemist Davis and Alexi Ethren seemed to be talking, but since their backs were faced towards them, they couldn't even lip-read.

Davis watched them leave. He didn't know if there were any traps for them, if there were, then that would be their bad luck. In any case, both mother and son were at the Eighth Stage, so it is rather clear that the weakened Ethren Empire would find it difficult to restrict them.

Besides...

'That woman's charm is oozing out even when she's wearing a veil...' Davis looked at Arianna Woller's back profile and couldn't help but think, 'She's a walking disaster...'

However, it was precisely because she was wearing a veil that her eyes alone were enough to charm, bringing out a sense of aesthetic beauty.

He closed the door of the entrance and sighed, "They finally left..."

Then suddenly, a smile appeared on his face as he thought about the nectar of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity.

Back in his residence, Davis entered his house and saw that Evelynn and Natalya were cultivating side by side. This scene became common, but when he looked towards the corner of the room, he saw Nadia seated on a dark mat in her human form, resting like a wolf. 

She didn't need to cultivate, so she just laid over and closed her eyes, taking a nap, but once Davis arrived, she opened her eyes and shot him a look with her golden pupils before closing her eyes and returning to nap.

Davis's eyes twitched.

It was one thing for her to lay like that in her magical beast form, but to be like that in her human form, she was outrageously seductive. Her tanned cleavage was widely visible!

He ignored her tantalizing posture and flew to the bed before being seated in the middle where it was his place, unoccupied when he was absent.

He mused that his wives do give him respect at the strangest places yet curse him openly, calling him names like a scoundrel, pervert, though not that he cared as they only meant the truth.

Flicking his sleeves, he brought the water canteen out of his spatial ring and held it in his hand.

At the corner of the room, Nadia instantly opened her eyes as she discerned the familiar scent, her golden pupils reflecting the canteen that she once drank from, and realizing that she drank from this canteen already, her eyes once again closed as she continued to take a nap.

Davis gave Nadia a strange look and saw that she wasn't going to pounce on him. If she were to really going to do that in front of his wives, it would startle them from cultivation, and he would be perhaps called a deviant from now on as they would unmistakably misunderstand!
