253 A Shocking Pill

The servants handed a small box to each of the guests. Everyone stared at the small box in their hands eagerly and they all wanted to know what was inside. However, they didn’t want other people to think that they are impatient so they decided to keep the small box inside their storage ring.

Seeing this, Aethelwolf merely smiled. Inside those boxes was a new pill he had created. It was a unique creation that wasn’t available in the market. A pill that could increase one’s lifespan! Because of the strict requirements of the pill, he only managed to make a few hundred of them, but it was more than enough for all the guests.

Some guests couldn’t hold back their curiosity and they opened the gifts they received. When they saw that there was a single pill inside the box, they couldn’t help but stare at Aethelwolf in confusion, wondering what kind of pill it was.

“Sir Aethelwolf, what kind of pill is this? I can actually sense a strong amount of life force contained inside.” Julius Reynolds stared at the pill in surprise.

Aethelwolf turned his gaze at the old man and replied in a calm voice. “Recently, I received a flash of inspiration to create a pill that could increase one’s vitality and nourish the body and soul. However, I never thought that its efficacy would actually exceed my expectations. The pill I gave you guys is capable of increasing your lifespan! Although it’s not a major increase, it’s still an increase of about ten years.”

“What?!”

“A pill that can increase one’s lifespan?! How is that possible?!”

“No way!”

Everyone stared at him in disbelief when they heard his words. They hurriedly grabbed the small box they kept in their storage ring and opened it.

.....



“Sir Aethelwolf, are you perhaps planning to sell this pill in the market?” One of the guests asked.

Aethelwolf nodded his head as he muttered. “That’s the plan, but because of the rarity of the pill’s ingredients, the production is very low so it couldn’t be sold in bulk. It is also very expensive. After all, this pill is an entry-level 5th-Grade Pill.”

“A 5th-Grade Pill! Does that mean that Sir Aethelwolf is also a Level 5 Alchemist?!”

The crowd stared at Aethelwolf in shock. They thought that he was only a Level 5 Esper. Who would have thought that he was also a Level 5 Alchemist?!

At this moment, their admiration towards him increased and it even exceeded that of the emperor!





Some beautiful young ladies had stars in their eyes as they looked at his peerless figure. He was the dream guy of every woman!

Who wouldn’t want to be with him? He was a Level 5 Esper and a Level 5 Alchemist! Just any of those two was already enough to make him stand out in the Regalis Continent. It was a guaranteed life of riches if they become his woman!

“You guys should keep the pills first since their efficacy would decrease if you expose them in the open air for a long time. Our Lassiter Household will open a chain Alchemy Store and all of the pills we produce will be sold there, including the pill in your possession.” Aethelwolf said to the crowd.

“Sir Aethelwolf, what’s the name of this pill?” An old family head asked curiously.

Aethelwolf glanced at the old man and smiled. “Truthfully, this is a new product so I haven’t come up with a name yet, but I will give it a fitting name once our Alchemy Stores are open. I assure you that.”

Everyone carefully kept the pill in their storage ring after knowing how valuable and rare it was.

The banquet started soon after and the guests headed to the banquet hall.

Everyone chatted excitedly with their acquaintances. Today’s revelations truly surprised them!

Meanwhile, Emperor Ragnar was seated in the most prominent seats together with Aethelwolf and a few other notable figures of the Leone Empire.

The emperor wasn’t angered by this arrangement and he was even relieved after knowing that Aethelwolf was a Level 5 Esper. With his presence, the Zion Empire would have to think twice if they wanted to provoke the Leone Empire.

He finally knew why Aethelwolf was so confident that he could come to terms with the Zion Empire’s envoys.

“Sir Aethelwolf, you’ve hidden yourself well.” Emperor Ragnar smiled bitterly as he looked at Aethelwolf. The other people who were seated together with them also looked at him with polite smiles.

“Your Majesty, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just have some difficulties.” Aethelwolf muttered apologetically.

Emperor Ragnar smiled as he shook his head. “It’s fine. You’re an important member of the Leone Empire anyway and I trust that you will stand with us in these hard times.”

“Of course!”

“Now that you have revealed your power, those big empires would have to think twice if they want to attack us. Other than that, your identity as a Level 5 Alchemist would also attract many Alchemists from all over the Regalis Continent to come to visit you.” Emperor Ragnar sighed emotionally. In the last few days, he had been restless because of the Zion Empire’s matter, but now, he felt extremely calm. The presence of a Level 5 Esper made him feel safe and secure.

“That would be troublesome. I already have my hands full with the businesses we have. I would have to ask for Sir Karman’s help if those Alchemists come to visit us.” Aethelwolf smiled helplessly as he stared at the old man beside the emperor. It was Karman Leone, the former Supreme Director of the Alchemy Tower.

Karman Leone laughed heartily when he heard this. “I may be old, but I can still do a lot of things. If you need this old man’s help, just call me and I’ll be there! Hahaha!”

The others laughed along with them and chatted about the various matters of the empire.
