chapter-510
Osborne shook his head and smiled bitterly on hearing Alex's question.
"I did not expect you to be so blunt and arrive straight at the point."
"Before I answer you I have a question for you."
"Would you mind pleasing my curiosity?"
Alex nodded and asked him to continue."Sir Alex, do you believe human nature can be changed easily?"
The old wizard's voice slowly continued in Alex's ears.
"We magicians have always poured our heart and soul to take a peek at the secrets of the world. We tried to study the laws that even the Gods and Goddess are bound with."
"And I don't know if you remember or not. The head of Magic Tower lends a hand in the awakening ritual of the Stan family."
Alex's curiosity was piqued by his words.
"So?"
"In the ritual, the essence of humans is shown. Unlike other Princes, the essence I had seen had a very clear colour. It was so warm and bright that I don't think anyone could forget it.""However the essence of yours I am seeing now is completely different."
No, it is right to say that he cannot see anything.
Everything about the person before him had been shrouded by the fog of darkness.
And on top of that, there was an ominous sensation stopping him to dig deeper.
All he could see was a black abyss like the darkness that was waiting to devour its prey.
Through the obscure fog, two wild eyes that made his body tremble suddenly appeared in his sight.
He felt that at that very moment, the feeling of death has never been this close.
"Sir Alex, just what are you?"
Heavy stillness permeated the drawing room.
Silence started to press down on Osborne and he felt as if he had been sitting on a pile of needles.
Alex chuckled while leaning forward.
He was thoroughly amused and surprised as well
A low question followed by a shriek came out from Osborne's mouth.
In the eyes of the Archmage who grabbed the fragments of truth, an inexplicable feeling started to arouse.
Since he could see what it meant, Alex was sure that Osborne had Mystical eyes that could study one aura and he might see what Athena always sees.
Alex slowly opened his mouth looking at Osborne's eyes with languid yet dark still eyes.
"Does it matter?"
Alex's lips curved slightly like a crescent moon as he spoke.
"The important thing is that I, who is in front of you, is called Alex Von Leonheart or Alex Von Stan. I have survived the hardships of life and now I am capable enough to talk with you."
"That's the only thing you need to know."
Osborne felt an unending ominousness pouring out from Alex's eyes.
A terrifying feeling of pressure that is far from anything that he had ever felt made him momentarily shudder.
It reminded him of the heyday of Emperor Kevin.
'Is this due to the awakening of the blood?'
'Can it have such a drastic change?'
"I was reckless when I asked the Lord who he was, so I apologise for that."
"By the way, I am curious about one thing."
"From the pressure, I am sure your strength has surpassed those in the saint realm and surprisingly I cannot feel your realm still people like you should not interfere in the world."
Alex also knew about it.
Once he made an appearance at the Treaty, those madmen would try to restrict him.
The Imperial family had a bit of freedom in terms of restriction still you cannot fight anyone weaker than yourself or below the Saint realm.
So he needs to finish all the loose ends as quickly as possible before restrictions get placed on him.
"I need to wait for the Treaty."
"Since I have answered your queries, can you stop wasting my time on meaningless questions?"
"Haha!Sorry for that."
"Old people like us often talk a lot."Osborne gave an awkward smile and wiped his face.
"Your Highness, we always follow the neutral policy."
"And it has been like this and will be in the future."
"Although we oversee the members and force strict policy on them there are some who don't adhere to it."
"Are you going to give me a useless reason like we don't restrict their freedom and they are free to do what they want?"Alex spoke with a frown.
"No, I did not mean that."
"There are thousands of people here so we cannot monitor every individual so people like to let greed take over them and act behind our back."
"After you sent me a report of the Elder you killed who belongs to Magic Tower, I have already started looking after this."
"In a few days, I promise that I will give you a suitable answer."
Alex observed Osborne's expression.
He was regretting deeply not using the soul search on that bastard.
If only knew about those assholes before they died but isn't that why is he here?
"I have a way to help you."
"How?"Osborne asked with surprise.
"You just need to sit and watch and allow me to act."
"You can also partake if you want."
Osborne started to sweat profusely.
Seeing his worry, Alex assured him.
"Don't worry, I am a very calm and reasonable person."
If Alex's wives and his soldiers heard that they would have fainted on the spot.
'Leave everything to you.'
'Will Magic Tower even exist if I leave you to deal with it?'
However, he kept his worries to himself.
"And second thing, did you have any information about the scrolls?"
"Are you speaking about those scrolls which you caught three years ago?"
"Yes?"
"We dispatched our manpower to deal with them and try to stop the circulation. We have stopped it in the market and caught many people; however, all of them died before we caught them."
"No matter how much effort we have put in, these cockroaches don't stop coming out and scrolls are circulating through illegal means."
"How will these cockroaches stop coming when they have been breeding every day right under your nose?"
"What?"Osborne spoke with a startled expression.
Managing to draw his curiosity Alex started to narrate the events and throw the net to catch them.
