The Tale of the Devil Sword

Chapter 102: Conquer-12(ii)

Nigel was definitely not satisfied. He looked for more answers to which Avery questioned mischievously.

"Heh... Do you really want to know?"

Kylo was amused by his maid's antics.

[She is definitely pissed.]

Kylo knew it like the back of his hand.

And he was right. She wanted to do the same with Kylo, but who knew Kylo would be so 'merciless' with her.

That's why now she is looking for Nigel.

Nigel was dumbfounded. He knew when she acts like that. After all he spend a lot of time with her.

He immediately gave up and asked

"Then can you... please... let me know what happened?"

Even though Nigel knew about it, he still was not used to it. Especially now in front of Kylo.

After hearing his 'sincere request' Avery grinned ear to ear while replying

"It's thanks to this anklet."

Nigel squinted his eyes at the unexpected reply. Seeing the anklet in her hand, Nigel opened his mouth but Avery didn't wait and continued

"I can not practice Qi anymore....."

She told him everything that happened with her. Nigel just remained stunned with the experience she had.

Even after Avery finished explaining Nigel's eyes remained wide open because he could see Avery using Primordial Qi.

He turned towards Kylo for confirmation. Kylo just shrugged in response

"Really...."

Nigel muttered under his breath.

For the first time since he met Avery was he this terrified. Now even the look he had in his eyes while talking with Avery changed slightly.

It was unnoticeable to Avery but not to Kylo.

[Interesting...]

Kylo thought inwardly with a light smile still plastered on his face.

That change was of fear. Because like Kylo, even he knew the real history of the various eras.

And he knew why Primordial Epoch flushed with success.

[Is she a God Candidate now?]

Nigel could not help but ponder about the possibility.

What was he feeling?

Disbelief?

Shock?

Envy?

Fear?

He didn't know.

The turmoil inside Nigel's head only remained for a few seconds before his expression returned to normal.

"Well it's a great news. Now we will have a great Alchemist amongst us soon."

Smiling he congratulated Avery.

Suddenly he remembered what Kylo said few minutes back.

'You should know the true value of Seven Petal Ice Venom Suppress and what it could be really utilised for.'

'If it was earlier it would have definitely been impossible.'

'But now it is not.'

'You will know the reason soon, do not worry.'

He soon looked at Kylo. As if knowing what was going inside his head, Kylo nodded with the same smile he had on his face.

Nigel took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He initially wanted to consume the Seven Petal Ice Venom Suppress raw. Depending on the poison the plant can suppress it from days to years.

But what Kylo wanted was to not just suppress the poison, but also use the plant to make a pill to boost the purity his own bloodline with the help of poison.

Many can even relate this to mutation, only that this won't leave any side effects.josei

It was not that do make this pill one needs to be a high ranked Alchemist. Even a lower level Alchemist can do it.

But for that many precious materials were needed. And there were only few special methods which could allow to concoct this pill.

This method was lost in the river of time since the Primordial Epoch.

That was why Nigel was almost sure it was impossible before.

But now he was starting to believe the possibility of Avery making such a pill.

After calming himself down, Nigel thought through many things about the story Avery said and he also came to the same conclusion as Kylo.

One should not forget even Kylo had difficulty when making a 'deal' with him.

That just showed how intelligent he was.

But there was a reason why Kylo could play with him anyway he wanted.

He is the same Kylo was in the past. He is a book smart rather than a street smart.

That is why Kylo is confident he could deal with Nigel in the future.

"What happened?"

Seeing Nigel suddenly going silent, occasionally glancing at her master, the blonde maid could not contain her confusion.

Breaking from his reverie, Nigel shook his head and said

"Nothing. Was just thinking about some important things."

And that's when Kylo interfered.
