Chapter 457 455:Entering The Royal Mausoleum
Sniff...Sniff.
It was a mournful cry.
One who would look at the cry couldn\'t guess whether it was filled with joy or sadness.
Sob….Sob...
"I am happy for Aeon."
"He deserved it."
The huge bulky man shed tears while sneaking at Aeon from afar.
Instead of an intimidating warrior, he looks more like a crybaby.
"Max, tell me the truth."
"Are you happy for him or are you sad because he isn\'t single anymore?"Alex asked and patted Max\'s shoulder.
Max felt as if an arrow pierced his heart and he burst into tears.
"It\'s all right. You will meet your soulmate one day."
Max rubbed his eyes and wiped off the tears.
"Now, tell me how all you have been?"Alex asked and looked at his men who had been staying in the royal castle and were training with the imperial soldiers.
The joint exercise was quite fruitful and each of them has become stronger than before.
"Train as if you are going to face death on the battlefield. we don\'t know if any unknown variable appears so we have to prepare for the best."
"Alex, what about you? I heard you are going to seclusion."Johnson asked.
Alex nodded and spoke, "Yeah, I am going to train remotely in a place arranged by the Emperor."
"I may be late if I am too engrossed in training. So, in that case, follow Noah\'s orders."
"He will not actively deploy you unless the situation arises and will just keep on standby until I return."
"Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted with great spirit.
Alex greeted them and issued a series of commands and instructions before departing.
......
"I heard you had great fun."
Alex heard a mocking tone and just smiled a bit.
"Your Highness, I was just doing my work."
"Will the things we have brought from that place be of some help?"Alex asked.
"People are already working on it. We will see the results in a few days, "Vermouth replied.
"The Golems are quite advanced with the self-destruction system, they are meant to kill."
Alex nodded his head and pondered for a moment.
After defeating the giant, they searched the secret base in every nook and cranny.
The place was trampled to dust by the giant flesh of corpses still there were many things they got from there.
The first thing was unfinished golems which when completed may be of great help to them.
Second, was the experimented people who were imprisoned down in the basement.
They were trampled to death due to the fight and those who were alive were in a pathetic state and begged Alex to kill them and free them from hell.
People of all ages were there and it was a nauseating sight. Alex, who had a bit of a soft spot for children, felt nauseated by the sight.
He wanted to prevent all of this and tear apart those shady organizations. Just like the name, it was doing all kinds of evil works which cannot be forgiven no matter the reason.
People having properties of the beast and humans weren\'t a laughing matter. It was an international issue that all the Empires irrespective of their species had to look after.
No one knew just how many of these people were present but Alex knew one thing about them. These are nothing but discarded waste of the organisation that was meant to throw away.
They also found many magic scrolls and some specimens who were going to be brainwashed.
It was a place to make brainwashed people so after taking over everything, Noah and Alex decided to destroy everything in that place.
They took over the illegal magic scrolls and would pass them over to magic towers.
They didn\'t find any pills of darkness or anything related to that which stifled Alex a bit.
Maybe it was a bit special which was produced at some highly secretive place.
"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
Alex snapped out of his thoughts on hearing Vermouth\'s words.
"I was just thinking about the troubles that the world might be facing. There have been a lot of things going on in the background of which we are unaware."
"Who knows when the calamity will resurface? If humans don\'t stick together with one another and cooperate in this situation, I don\'t think anyone will be safe."
Vermouth heard Alex\'s words and agreed to them.
"Humans are selfish by nature. Unless they get a profit they will never be together."
"You either have to unite them for profit or.."
"You know better than me what it is."Vermouth laughed and gave Alex a meaningful glance.
"When they face a crisis of being extinct or subdued by force," Alex replied with a grim expression.
Both of them didn\'t talk for a while and Alex just followed Vermouth who led him towards the Mausoleum of the royal family.
Large white buildings with pillars were erected at the place making it look like a holy Sanctuary.
Alex looked around the graveyard and saw that it was divided into many sections.
One section was for Emperors and Empress, another one for Princes and another was for wives.
Passing through all of them, they head straight towards a large section at the back where only one grave was present.
Vermouth kneeled before the grave and bowed before it.
Alex also followed the suit and gave a brief bow.
"This is the grave of the Emperor who founded Arkham. It was he who with blood and tears with his last breath fought against Kinley and conquered a portion of it."
"The army with which he marched on was made of slaves and fallen aristocrats of Kinley. The Emperor of Kinley at that time was cruel. It was because of their incapability which led Kinley to be divided into three Empires today."
Alex was intrigued by Vermouth\'s words but more than that he wanted to know about another thing.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked"How is the present Emperor of Kinley?"
Vermouth stared at Alex with an inexplicable expression and let out a sigh.
"He is too competent and promising. It\'s a pity that he was born at the wrong time. If he was born during the Age of Chaos and Conquest, he might have carved his name legend."
"He might also do in this era but for the last 30 years, he hasn\'t made any movements. It\'s as if he had lost interest in everything. He is not taking part actively in politics nor is he showing his presence to the world which is why Kinley is declining as the fear he had cast over the world during his prime had been fading away."
Alex\'s brows furrowed and for a long time, he couldn\'t think of a logical reason for this.
"Do you know the reason?"Alex asked.
Vermouth shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"You should ask that man when you meet. Who knows if he answers you? No, he might answer you."
"Why do you think he will answer me?"
"It\'s just intuition, "Vermouth spoke with a grin and stood up leaving Alex in a daze.
Before Alex could ask anything else, a portal appeared before them.
"Let\'s step inside. You will find your gift inside."
