Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 974 Five Times

Everyone held millions of thoughts constantly running in their mind, pressuring them to think badly of the Dragon Queen as she withheld her statement in a public platform. The ones who were angry kept their mouths shut since they couldn’t do anything about it both in terms of power and justness.

After all, the nectar solely belonged to the Dragon Queen, and it was in her rights to take back what she said!

However, the next words the Dragon Queen echoed had them all raging!

"... Because, after reconsidering that you are all younger generational experts who have a bright future ahead of you like me, I would like to reward a large vial that contains fifty milliliters of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar!"

"..."

Half of the hall instantly became clouded in dumbfoundedness before the entire hall rose up in excitement as they raised their voices in cheers and praise!

"May the heavens bless the Dragon Queen for her magnanimity!"

"Truly, Dragon Queen’s generosity knows no bounds!"

"Glory to the Dragon Queen!!!"

It was mainly the higher-ups, and the people who were waiting for her continuation were stunned by her speech, while the majority of the younger generation quickly sprang up cheered, their voice echoing in the hall like a tidal wave!

Excited voices kept echoing out from the crowd, but it made Davis dumbfounded instead.

’My nectar...’ He stared at Isabella as he blinked his eyes in askance, but the other party seemed to be ignoring him. A moment later, he smiled a bit as he shook his head, not at all caring for a little bit of nectar.

As he thought before, it was just a small price to pay for a date.

The Grand Elders and Elders belatedly stood up and bowed towards the Dragon Queen. They were like subordinates being rewarded for their obedience, but the Alstreim Family seemed to not feel any kind of humiliation over it. Instead, they felt that as if an extra bow was also in need. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this even has reached the level of making Ancestor Dian Alstreim attend!

That’s five times the initial reward the Dragon Queen had promised! Fifty milliliters amounted to ten thousand drops, and they mused that it was more than enough to get many of their experts to the Martial Master Stage. Perhaps, hundreds of them!

This way, perhaps all the elders would become energetic while possessing a youthful countenance!

Unfortunately, this was a reward given to the winner of this Alchemy Exchange. It was fine if they won as they could provide many incentives for the winner to exchange the nectar, but if someone else with no intentions to exchange the nectar won, then it would become too difficult for them to acquire it.

However, they didn’t worry much since there’s a person who they had hopes on, a low-key rising alchemist of the Alstreim Family!

Nora Alstreim’s still didn’t make a sound. She became wide-eyed at the unexpected increased amount of the nectar. This sudden hope that she felt made her throat go dry before she pursed her lips, swallowing some of her own saliva to realize that it was not an illusion but a reality.

Her bargaining chip towards the Ancestor had just increased five times, causing her to become excessively ecstatic! Moreover, she could also use it to heal Grand Elder Elise Alstreim back to health with a bit of that nectar.

Her body trembled as it became hot. She could no longer suppress her desire for the nectar and wanted to voice it out!

"I-"

The purple-robed woman beside her suddenly raised her voice!

"I will definitely participate and receive the promised rewards! The nectar is mine!" Her lips widened, and she trembled in ecstasy. Those six bright stars that were embedded over her ample bosoms shook along with her trembling, causing the men who turned to see the commotion, drool over, but when they looked at the two-meter tall, brawny man who was behind that woman, they got intimidated and removed their gaze.

It was clear to them that he should be a protector who was assigned to protect her! After all, alchemists expert always traveled with hired bodyguards to protect them, do their bidding, or their dirty work!

"Top Pill Disciple Dalila Leehan, although I am afraid that I might offend you with my words, I have to remind that according to the rules of our Alstreim Family, you can only claim half of the rewards, but you initially gave your word to not even take a bit of it." Immeth Alstreim, who was behind them, reminded the purple-robed woman.

Dalila Leehan’s expression became a bit difficult.

Those were undoubtedly the words she said at that time, but...

"T-That... That’s not what I heard from Nora in the beginning. The rewards were supposed to be a King Grade Pill that has a twenty percent chance to help one enter the Martial Master Stage, along with a King Grade Healing Pill and a King Grade Cauldron! I have no need for these rewards, so I graciously offered to enter in your stead to win this Alchemy Exchange!"

She swiveled her head to look at Nora Alstreim in a solemn manner!

"Nora, you can’t be like this! Because of your request, I came all the way from Thousand Pill Palace to participate in this Alchemy Exchange in your stead. I know that have already I declined half of what I can claim on account of our friendship, but I never heard that the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar is on the rewards list. Even if it is a tiny bit, its value isn’t any less than a Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment!"

"You’re mistaken." Nora Alstreim tried to explain, "This nectar is from a King Beast Stage Lifeform, and not the previously recorded Emperor Beast Stage Lifeform from another territory. Its value doesn’t even reach-"

"Even so!" Dalila Leehan quickly interrupted, "Its value is something that I cannot simply watch and let go of it just for the sake of our friendship. In turn, it could be said that if you stopped letting me get half of what I can claim, it means that you’re also severing my path to higher cultivation!"

Nora Alstreim’s expression changed as she saw her ’good’ friend indirectly warn the consequences of offending her. She bit her lips, not knowing what to do as she too desired the nectar. She was convinced that her friend would be the one who would win this Alchemy Exchange, so she had invited her to participate, but who could’ve thought something like a crevice would’ve been emerging between them right now.

Initially, wanting to secure the rare King Grade Body Tempering Breakthrough Pill for Grand Elder Elise Alstreim, she placed her stakes on her friend, the same friend who leaked her the information of the Law Tree Fruit!

If not, why would she call her in the first place? She believed Dalila Leehan was her genuine friend and didn’t want to lose her for a bit of nectar. However, this bit of nectar was so precious to her right now that it actually caused her to weigh the friendship!
