The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess
chapter-133

Alex already felt numb after getting too many shocks.

Legendary grade artifacts can call forth a war even among Empires let alone Kingdoms.

Moreover, the artifact Wright had can prove quite useful in wars and many other situations.

Having such an artifact was really a two edged sword.

He understood one thing, the artifact was a harbinger of destruction for Wright. After all, no one would be able to resist the temptation of having such an artifact.

"Wright mostly relied on that artifact to defend itself and wear down the opponent and then it would counter attack when the opponent's morale was at an all time low."Longard started to explain.

"Under the artifact, we won all the wars until the Emperor received the news about the artifact and asked us to hand it over and there was no chance of negotiations."

"Her Highness Catherine resisted stubbornly and refused to give in according to the Emperor's demand so the Emperor sent small allied forces to take us down and forcefully snatch the artifact."

"It was a brutal war which we lost miserably and it gave a heavy blow to Wright which had progressed quite well under Her Highness's leadership."

Alex sighed on hearing Longard's words and thought about whether Catherine did the right thing by refusing the Emperor's demand.

Though he understood that it was a family heirloom and even he would be reluctant to give it away but before the might what else one could do.

That was the bitter truth.

"After that, you might know better than me how things unfolded."

'What do you mean I know?'

'I know a shit.'

'How the hell my marriage Catherine came at this point.'Alex muttered inwardly, unable to understand it.

He didn't give a shit to the rumors of the people who said that The Emperor married Catherine to him to humiliate her.

After all, there was no logic behind it.

"Hmmm!!" Alex nodded his head and fell into deep thoughts for a moment as he thought about his next step.

"Do we have mana crystals?"Alex asked Longard.

"Yeah, we have some but why?"

"I am going to perform a ritual for you,"Alex muttered with a grim expression.

........

In a big room, many people stood at the side while waiting for Alex.

In the middle of the room, there was a mass of mana crystals that the Kingdom had in the storage along with liters of monsters' blood ranging from Disciple to Master rank which they had hunted.

With a screeching sound, the door opened and Alex entered followed by Christina.

TAP! TAP!TAP!

Alex walked slowly towards a certain individual who stood at the side lowering his face.

Seeing Alex coming toward him, his expression stiffened and sweats started to trickle down from his head.

Alex stood before the barking dog who seems to have been tamed after that incident.

"How is your hand?"Alex asked.

Jefferson swallowed his saliva and subconsciously reached out for the hands which had been joined by a healing spell.

"My hand seems to be fine, My Lord. There seems to be no problem with movements."Jefferson answered obediently.

At first, Alex wanted to kill this person for his imprudence but as soon as he calmed his mind, he saw a better picture.

This guy might have a big ego compared to his skills but still, he is better than nothing and could be quite useful in the future.

Moreover, Alex wanted to give this guy a chance.

Yes, one more chance to prove himself. If this guy can pull himself out from the burden of jealousy and hatred then Alex was going to accept him with open arms otherwise this guy was going to die a painful death.

"Mhhhhmm!!"Alex patted Jefferson's shoulder and muttered softly.

"Don't lose the kindness I have shown you. My tolerance level is quite low. I don't even know what I will do when I lose myself."

Alex walked towards the middle of the room leaving Jefferson dazed.

Alex stood before the things he had asked and waited for Longard and Mordek to appear.

After some time both of them appeared with their upper body naked.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do with us, "Mordek asked cautiously.

"Uncle, Mordek, you have served me wholeheartedly and done many things for Nevan."

"Same goes for you Uncle Longard who had devoted his life to Wright."

"In that case, I will give both of you a gift."

"What gift!!"Mordek l blurted out the words with a curious expression.

"My heavenly massage."

Moderk's whole body shivered on hearing Alex's words.

"My Lord, why are you doing this to me?"

"What did I do wrong? Did you saw my incompetence anywhere? If so, please forgive me?"

"I have a wife and two kids at home. Please don't take away the shadow of parents over them."

Alex blinked a couple of times with a surprised expression seeing Mordek who was on the verge of tears.

"Uncle Mordek, this is a misunderstanding. Trust me, I am not going to do anything bad."

"Yeah, why are you being a crybaby?"Longard asked while giving a weird look to Mordek.

"This shithead.."Mordek muttered and explained everything to Longard.

"What...torture..."

Longard almost joined his hands and thoughts about begging Alex to forgive him while thinking that Alex wanted to punish him for not being able to protect Catherine.

"You two!!Please stop your foolish rants."

"You both have been struck at peak Master rank for a decade and your mana vessels have been coagulated."

"I am thinking of cleansing your mana vessels along with your body so that you can break through to Epic rank."

"What!!!"

Everyone screamed with a shocked expression on their face on hearing Alex's words and even felt that the world had turned upside down.

"Is this even possible?"Christina asked while casting a suspicious look at Alex.

"Yes, it's possible but only for those who are stuck at a level for such a long time."

"I also wanted to include Count Steelfield in it but it will take time for him to arrive."

"So, meanwhile I decided to go on with you two," Alex muttered.

"Now, come here quickly," Alex shouted while glaring at Mordek and Longard who seemed to be drowned in their fantasies.
