Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 559 Alchemy Convention



In a few days, it was finally time for the Alchemy Convention to start. This famous event that resounded through the entire Ethren Empire was held by the Thousand Pill Palace Branch.

Davis and Evelynn left the residence and headed to the east region of the second level, entering the Alchemy Convention which was hosted in the huge residence of the Thousand Pill Palace's Branch that spanned over 400 square kilometers!

That meant a single side of the four sides stretched over 400 kilometers if the residence were to be square-shaped!

Not only were there buildings, but there were numerous grounds that spanned over kilometers to host competitions, exams, and other such activities. The Alchemy Convention took place in such paved grounds rather than inside the buildings which were home to numerous alchemists and other official activities.

Some buildings were allocated to host the thousands of guests who attended the Alchemy Convention from far away. Furthermore, it would also increase the safety of the alchemists who are visiting.

Although assassinations were rare, a banquet or other such festivities is the best time to kill a person secretly through poison or other such covert methods. Hence, it was always decided that the Alchemy Convention would be held on the paved grounds outside the official buildings from time immemorial.

That said, Davis saw numerous materials being dragged in before when he came here to take the examination, mostly construction materials, hence it could also be said that the Alchemy Convention hosted shops in makeshift buildings constructed on both sides of the paved roads like a festival set-up shops.

Davis wore a purple patterned robe that had six stars etched on it. The Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist Robe which could even help him defend against Sixth Stage Cultivators. He walked in dressed up smoothly while his long blonde hair remains left free, making him look considerably handsome, like a free spirit with the extra smirk on his face.

To his right, holding his hand is Evelynn.

She wore a luxurious purple robe that emphasized their look as a couple. She tried a new hairstyle whereupon her long combed green hair rested on her right shoulder like she had side-swept her hair to the right. She didn't leave her left empty as she pinned a purple lotus-like flower, making her look extremely lovely.

Nevertheless, she still kept some bangs across her forehead as she had noticed in the past that Davis had twirled her bangs with his fingers on many instances; intimate instances.

When Davis entered the huge gate along with Evelynn, he displayed his newly obtained alchemist token plate to those two guards and gained entry under their momentarily surprised gaze. He didn't need to do that since he was already wearing the Alchemist Robe but since the guards had stopped him last time, he felt that they might stop him again.

As for Evelynn, they let her in on the grounds that a Peak-Level Sky Grade Alchemist could bring two or three friends, companions or even servants with them. Davis learned about this even discussed the specifics of the Pill Convention with Alchemist Andred.

So, he decided to bring along Evelynn to the Alchemy Convention, mainly for her to keep him company and to broaden her horizons.

Evelynn initially declined, thinking that she would bring trouble again but Davis explained otherwise and convinced her.

As for crass and lewd people who would try to be rude with his wife, he believed that in a convention such as this where every person's actions would be judged, they wouldn't dare to be rude to a woman as that would ruin their reputation in the social scene.

Even if someone were to be daring enough to trouble his wife, in his eyes, they would just be courting death.

As for his father and mother, he left them to their devices since he too wanted to spend some time with Evelynn. In the future, perhaps, he might not be there for her anymore, hence, he made it a point to rather treat her nicely and satisfactorily.

Abruptly, he turned to look at another woman who suddenly stopped to his left. He blinked his eyes and spoke, "Are you coming with us or move about solo?"

The woman whose waist-length hair gave off a dark purple glow just took a step forward and walked into the crowd, leaving them behind. This woman was none other than Princess Isabella who received an invitation to the Alchemy Convention as the Conferred Queen.

Indeed, after the day he had bound the Peak-Level King Grade Formation to himself, an entourage from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch personally came to their residence to invite Princess Isabella.

He wasn't surprised that she was here, but wasn't her attitude a little cold? 

'If she keeps this up, then I will make it difficult for her to learn Soul Forging Cultivation.' Davis inwardly laughed as he felt like teasing her.

Nevertheless, it was just a fleeting thought as he really didn't think that way.

When he looked back, he could see that there was a commotion occurring because of the Conferred Queen's appearance. Even the two guards who were usually blank, had their eyes still beaming with a strange glint while gazing at her figure.

Indeed, beauty along with strength accentuated a woman's worth in a man's eyes manyfold. Though there was a lustful desire in their eyes, but there was also awe, inferiority, and fear, curbing them from even approaching her.

Only the entrance remained crowded since many people were entering at this time. They all had their gazes on Princess Isabella and some had even noticed him talk to her as they were looking at them too.

However, since the Conferred Queen didn't look or talk to them, their attention on them was short-lived as it returned to the Conferred Queen.

When Davis gazed back at Princess Isabella again, he saw that a few people who wore seven starred robes come to personally greet her before they led the way for her.

'Mhm... Low-Level King Grade Alchemists in the immediate vicinity are personally inviting her... It seems that her popularity in this city will increase from here on out!'

Davis mused inwardly and then he also doubted that if she didn't talk to them on purpose.

'Right, she likely doesn't want to bring us trouble... So she stayed clear of us? But then why did she stop beside me for a moment?'

Davis pondered for a moment but couldn't find the answer. He could only shrug and walk on the red-carpeted paved road with Evelynn.

As they walked, they crossed the red carpet road and reached a ground that had many alchemists and people of other professions were roaming around.

He even saw an eight-year-old child running around, followed by other children, visiting the stalls that were set up along the pathway, hosted by many Alchemists who were at the Earth Grade.

He couldn't tell which family they were from but judging by how they behaved without care and respect, he mused that these children were all from peak powers, having enough status and wealth to enter this Alchemy Convention.

Earth Grade Alchemists only had small or big stalls set up for them while Sky Grade Alchemists had their own ranging from a single hall to plenty of halls depending upon their level.

If he set up a shop, then he too would receive benefits from the Thousand Pill Palace Branch but he mused that they would pale in comparison to his precious time in which he could gain numerous knowledge by seeing all kinds of pills and broadening his horizons.
