The Legendary Mage (Alavin)

Chapter 317

Before today, the Botanic Haven Elder had repeatedly questioned Mariela about various aspects of Alavin's life, pinpointing the initial time of Alavin's 'transformation.' It was before he obtained the Chained Spirit!

When he reflected on the previous Commander's description of the Chained Spirit, there was no mention of a concept like “Shadowbringer,” nor any description of Combat Magic of that kind. The most likely explanation was that Alavin had come across some other fortune before merging with the Chained Spirit. Perhaps the reason the Chained Spirit became violently agitated after lying dormant for over twenty years, recklessly breaking free from its suppression, was probably because of the mysterious fortune Alavin had encountered.

It was this that awakened the Chained Spirit, setting off a series of subsequent events. All of this was conjecture, but the Botanic Haven Elder believed that this guess wasn't far from the truth. His dark eyes watched Alavin, waiting for his response.

Alavin spoke frankly, "There's not much to discuss. It was Combat Magic that I was fortunate to come by."

"Where did you find it?"

"During the last hunting tournament, a mountain collapsed, and I found it there."

The Commander said, "You can share the truth with us. We will not take what belongs to you."

Alavin suddenly laughed. "Really? It seems that many lives of the Mallister family were taken by you."

Mariela gave Alavin a look, a reminder to be polite. His comment was not helpful in the current situation.

The Botanic Haven Elder didn't mind and asked further, "I've heard you housed an old man in your warehouse?"

"He left a long time ago."

The Commander stated, "We don't recall arranging for anyone else to be there."

"You may not recall, or you just never cared about that place. With such an Organization to lead, who would bother about a warehouse?"

"Who was he, and where did he go?"

"I really don't know. Oh, right, you could ask Hamund; he investigated the old man."

The Commander and the Botanic Haven Elder were disappointed; it was clear Alavin wouldn't cooperate. They had hardly interacted, and it was unlikely he would suddenly become completely transparent. Even if Alavin did speak, it might not even be the truth.

The Commander exchanged a look with the Botanic Haven Elder as if to say, “I told you, this boy is more mature than we thought.”

"You may not want to discuss the Shadowbringer, but you must explain the Kings' Acceptance to us."

"The secret of the Kings' Acceptance is actually the secret of immortality. They chose me and changed my constitution." Alavin explained briefly and used the dagger at his waist to cut his palm. Golden blood oozed from the wound, but the cut healed quickly. With the Golden Heart gradually merging with his body, his self-healing ability had surpassed the Restoration Mantra.

The Commander and the Botanic Haven Elder were stunned, and they collected a few drops of the golden blood through the air, wrapping it with energy and silently sensing it. The strong life force

mixed with many other wondrous powers.

Blood was the basis of the body's cycles and the vessel of one's being. If the life force was unceasing, wasn't that immortality, and wouldn't it continually change one's constitution? Imagine if a person's body was constantly nourished by the Restoration Aether, day after day, year after year, what would their constitution become after years, even decades?

What was this mysterious energy in the blood? What was the essence of a legacy?

The more they probed, the more astonished they became. No wonder it had called across the ancient seas to the Warrior Tribe of the East.

Alavin's blood had been changed!

They were worldly and knew the significance of extraordinary blood. At that moment, their hearts grew eager with desire. A long-absent sense of possession spread through them. They even suspected that this was just a part of the legacy, that Alavin surely had more secrets.

Eyla suddenly broke the silence. “What are you thinking? How to monopolize it, or how to share it?"

The Cobalt Strike Commander dispersed the golden blood from his fingertips and also put away his greed. "Congratulations."

The Botanic Haven Elder quietly watched Alavin. "Shall we make an agreement? What do you say?"

"That's why I'm here." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The Botanic Haven Elder glanced at the Cobalt Strike Commander. After a long silence, the Cobalt Strike Commander finally nodded, accepting the proposal.

The Botanic Haven Elder said, "We permit you to possess the Kings' Acceptance and will keep this secret for you. From today on, we can guard Stormcast and protect you from all sorts of troubles you may encounter. Even if you cause disasters, Cobalt Strike will take responsibility. Any resources you need, Cobalt Strike can provide."

The Commander also said, "For the past eight years, I can, on behalf of Cobalt Strike, apologize to you, and restore your parents' positions as Elders in the Cloud Council."
