Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 788 Ethren Familys Imperial Library

Davis and Alexi Ethren walked in the hallway, and following behind were the latter’s entourage of Imperial Protectors as well as a few important officials who oversaw the affairs of the Empire.

Like Official Hall who took care after the properties of the southeastern region in the first level and the second level, they too had many things to look after. After all, an Empire can’t be run by a single person. It needed a plethora of talents.

"Where is the Imperial Library?" Davis asked as the pathway seemed to be rather long.

They were all walking in a snail’s pace, and it profoundly infuriated him because he didn’t like to waste time.

Who made a rule to walk and bothered about running or flying in the hallway?

’This isn’t a high school hallway for heaven’s sake!’ He inwardly cursed.

"Follow me..."

Alexi Ethren picked up the speed as he could feel discontent from Alchemist Davis.

’Experts were like this...’ He mused.

While Alexi Ethren knew what Davis’s agenda was, the entourage behind him comprising Imperial Protectors, Imperial Advisors, and the people who managed the Ethren Empire all possessed a change of expression.

Wasn’t this just selling their Empire?

Imperial Protector Merkel’s expression changed as he hurriedly echoed from behind, "Emperor, you can’t do this!"

The people around him also started protesting as they said various things about the Empire’s so-called rules.

Alexi Ethren ignored their complaints, but it got louder and louder. He abruptly stopped before his expression became cold. He glanced back and asked, "Are you all idiots?"

Imperial Protector Merkel and the others became startled.

Their expressions were as if they swallowed some crap. They initially thought that they could rely on their seniority to speak, but a junior outright disrespected them.

Although Alexi Ethren is the Emperor, he still wasn’t officially one yet! Even before Alexi Ethren became the Emperor, they were all disrespected!

How arrogant!

If they let him be and don’t reprimand him while they had the chance when all were gathered, how would they survive in the Imperial Palace from now on?

Just when they were going to erupt in anger, Alexi Ethren continued.

"I know you all are favoring me to the others because of the connection I have with the Conferred Queen. From this, you all could benefit, but what about the other party, don’t they need to get benefits!?"

Alexi Ethren coldly harrumphed before he led the silent Davis to the Imperial Library. The others who all stood dumbfounded, comprehending his sentence for a few seconds before they hurriedly ran towards them, catching up.

Imperial Protector Merkel hurriedly blocked the way, "Emperor, your mother is already in the Treasury! I need your word that you will not allow these two people to take anything out of the Treasury and Imperial Library!"

Alexi Ethren’s expression laughed, "You people owe it to is..."

"No matter what I take, it is justified!" His eyes flashed with a ruthless glint.

"Alchemist Davis is merely interested in looking around... Do you think that the Conferred Queen’s subordinate would deign to even look at the information we kept if it weren’t for the variety and uniqueness of this territory?"

Imperial Protector Merkel’s expression couldn’t help but become sullen. He was the one who mainly supported Alexi Ethren’s claim to the throne, so he could only shut his mouth and not make a scene of this. Otherwise, not only would he be ridiculed, but he might be executed for bringing an exiled sinner to the Empire.

He had taken responsibility for this matter, so he heaved a sigh and stood by the side before following them.

Davis slightly chuckled and sent a soul transmission, "Looks like you haven’t completely suppressed all of them..."

Alexi Ethren shook his head, "There’s no way I can suppress all the Imperial Protectors... They don’t even dare to give me the Emperor’s token, which could suppress them, and I doubt that they would hand it over even after my coronation..."

"Reasonable... After all, if they foolishly handed it over, then they would have no choice but to grovel before you..." Davis inconspicuously smiled.

"Speaking about quelling the rebellion, the Empress should’ve given you a bigger resistance than anyone..."

Alexi Ethren’s expression froze.

"Did you make her ’submit’?" Davis calmly asked.

It was unknown if Alexi Ethren heard the nuance, but he quickly nodded his head, "She pleaded for her life to be spared."

"I see..."

"A remnant that might screw you over later... You might want to be careful..." Davis warned out of good intentions.

’Instead of her screwing me over, well... I already screwed her twice...’ Alexi Ethren mused proudly, but he didn’t display it outside and just nodded his head.

At first, Iona Ethren was quite reluctant, but after getting into it with his pleasuring techniques and machinations, she became quite the temptress with her moans and movements.

Originally, after he spent a night with her, he returned to suppress other rebellious intents, but after returning to his chambers to rest, she visited him and willingly fell over his lap before seducing him, saying that she couldn’t resist his manliness.

He didn’t know what her agenda was, but having a beautiful woman in front of him and not accepting her ’plea’ didn’t sit well with him.

He couldn’t resist her either and stripped her naked for another round as he could still remember her heavenly taste, but after an hour, Alchemist Davis interrupted him.

’But she unwittingly revealed that I was her third man... To think that that bastard was cucked, it satisfies me to hear it...’ Alexi Ethren took joy in his dead father’s misery.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Imperial Library.

Davis arbitrarily stepped in, and his gaze roamed around. There were rows and rows of bookshelves as far as he could see. With his soul sense, he lazily surveyed the entire library. There might probably be more than ten million books and scrolls, but there were no battle techniques, cultivation methods, and other essential matters above Sky Grade.

There was just information, records, and experiences.

He felt that it was fine because he mainly came here to broaden his horizons instead of staying ignorant.

After all, there were many other things he didn’t know about.

For example, he didn’t know how to measure talent other than seeing one’s cultivation results when compared to age...

Davis’s gaze then moved to the librarian who stood there frozen while not knowing what to do as she stared at him.

"You, take care of Alchemist Davis’s needs..." Alexi Ethren coldly pointed at the librarian.

"Y-Yes!" The librarian panicked before she hurriedly walked and stood before Davis.

"Don’t bully her... She’s a good yet silent woman who is already married to one of the princes and birthed ten children for him..."

Davis became speechless on hearing Alexi Ethren’s soul transmission. He felt that he wouldn’t do anything with this librarian.

Why was there a need to warn him? Instead, he felt that Alexi Ethren would take liberties with the librarian. After all, he’s a man who even went after his step-mother.

However...

Ten children?

’Okay, in this cultivation word, that is normal...’ Davis inwardly lampooned.

He glanced to the side and noticed that Alexi Ethren no longer maintained a gentle gaze. He sighed, feeling that sometimes a man with power has to do things he didn’t like to change his fate, although he knew that there was a difference between choosing to do it and being forced to do it.
