Chapter 111 Alec and the Seventh Elder
***
Lilith: "…"
"Do you believe I will beat you to death?" She said angrily.
"I Believe!"
Lilith: "…"
She sat down on the ground, and started crying loudly: "Huhuhu... you\'re bullying me!"
Lathel: "…"
He sighed: "Lilith, you should also sympathize with me. I only have one life, if you accidentally kill me, at that time, not only will I die, but Lafien and Charlotte will also die with me."
"That\'s why, I\'m sorry…"
"You…" Lilith gritted her teeth: "Do you not trust me to this extent?"
"That\'s right. Remembering what you did, I felt so scared that I shivered and got goosebumps." Lathel pretended to shiver, as his eyes widened.
"You… you…" Lilith pouted and said: "You are a Half-Vampire, your recovery ability is extremely powerful, are you still afraid that I will beat you to death?"
"Please…" Lathel sighed and said: "Good healing ability does not mean I am immortal. Simply put, if you \'accidentally\' break my neck, I will definitely die."
"I won\'t beat you to death."
"How can I trust you?"
"I… you…" Lilith was angry: "Good! Good! Good! Lathel, you are my student, and you dare to disobey me. Today, I must punish you, so that you know how terrible the consequences will be when I am angry."
Suddenly, the sky became dark, clouds covered the sky, as lightning flashed continuously, a hurricane began to form and roar with cold howls that made Lathel shiver.
"You… you… you can\'t come near me." Lathel shouted in fear.
"Hahahahaha…" Lilith laughed loudly like a Demon King descending: "Lathel, in this place, even if you scream and tear your throat, no one can save you, hahahaha…"
Lathel: "…"
He felt that Lilith\'s words were extremely strange, but before he realized what was happening, Lilith rushed towards him, and punched forward.
"Teacher, don\'t hit my face."
"AAA!!!"
…
Alec wanted to continue hanging out with Malina, however, she said she was mentally unstable and that she wanted to return home.
No matter how much Alec comforted Malina, she didn\'t want to listen.
In the end, Alec had to let Malina\'s servant take her back.
\'Ah! Malina\'s maid is also very beautiful. That demeanor… if Malina is a younger sister then she is an older sister, hahaha… as long as I have Malina then I will also have that maid.\'
\'That maid seems to be named Claire… hm… Claire, you\'ve successfully attracted my attention.\'
Although Alec was angry after being injured by Lathel\'s maid, after seeing Claire, he seemed to forget everything.
"Alec, don\'t think so hard." Medos\'s voice rang in his head.
When Alec heard that voice, he was startled: "Ah! Sorry, I was just a little distracted."
He sighed, gritted his teeth, and muttered: "Damn it! Lathel… the old and new enmity, combined is enough for me to kill you a hundred times over."
"When my reinforcements arrive, I will definitely kill you, chop you into a hundred pieces, and turn your maids into mine."
"Alright! Stop muttering." Medos sighed and said. He also didn\'t understand why every time Alec met Lathel, everything he did failed.
You must know that since he accompanied Alec, he has never seen Alec fail.
Even in the most difficult situations, when he faced mortal danger, Alec would still successfully overcome it.
Not only would he overcome it, but Alec also achieved outstanding achievements. Because of that, Medos thought that Alec was the person he was looking for, the child of the world\'s will.
Only that explanation could explain Alec\'s luck.
However, after Alec met Lathel, he began to doubt his judgment.
Alec completely failed when confronting Lathel, but when Alec did not have to confront Lathel, he achieved much success.
Typically what happened last night, at Maridan\'s party.
Of course Alec didn\'t think that much. He pouted in disdain and walked onto the teleportation stone platform, and arrived at the 15th floor.
This place?was like a prison cell with a hallway that could only accommodate 3 people. On both sides of the hallway were rooms locked with stone doors.
At the entrance of the hallway there was an old man about 70 years old sitting in a rocking chair, he leaned back on the back of the chair, his face covered by a pointed hat, seemingly sleeping.
That\'s right, this is where Lilith took Lathel to practice. Alec learned about this place through the introduction to Enchanter Tower, after successfully registering to become Lilith\'s student.
As Alec walked up to the sleeping old man, he felt that this person was a Master or an Elder.
After all, as a guard here, his status will definitely not be low.
In his previous life, Alec also read many novels and learned that many Masters chose to hide themselves because they did not want to cause trouble.
Only when real mortal danger strikes do they reveal their true strength.
Or when they meet the main character, do they begin to focus on cultivating the main character.
Alec believed that the old man sitting in the rocking chair in front of him was the same.
Medos suddenly spoke: "Be careful, Alec. The old man in front of you is very strong."
Listening to Medos, Alec was even more convinced that his guess was correct. He happily said: "Teacher, don\'t worry. You just need to be quiet and watch me perform."
Medos: "…"
If it were before, Medos would never have told Alec to be careful. But now things are different, even though Lathel wasn\'t here, Medos still felt extremely insecure.
Alec walked up to the old man, bowed his head and said very politely: "My name is Alec, a student of the Fifth Elder - Lilith, I\'m here to register to rent a practice room."
The Seventh Elder remained silent as if he was actually sleeping. Alec frowned when he saw this, but he still wasn\'t upset.
\'After all, as a master, it\'s normal to be a little arrogant.\'
Alec took a deep breath, placed a hand on his chest, bowed his head and said: "This our first time meeting, I am Alec, a student of the Fifth Elder, and I\'m here to rent a practice room."
The old man now lifted his hat, revealing his old face, but his eyes were extremely sharp as he looked at Alec.
\'Strange... is he also Lilith\'s student? But why didn\'t she come with him?\'
\'Ah! I understand, Lilith doesn\'t seem to like this person, but for some reason, she still has to accept this young man as her student.\'
\'Even though this person\'s potential is very good, but… let\'s see what his mentality is like.\'
The Seventh Elder smiled disdainfully, threw a wooden card on the ground, then stared at Alec.
Seeing this, Alec frowned, but he thought perhaps this was the challenge this master had for him.
\'Huh! A small challenge like this cannot be difficult for me.\'
Alec bent down, held the piece of wood in his hand, looked towards the Seventh Elder and said: "Thank you."
Medos was also startled at this moment, when did Alec become so patient?
Could it be that... Alec has already become enlightened? Has he changed?
"Wait!" Suddenly, the Seventh Elder spoke: "The Room rental fee is 20,000 gold coins."
"What?!" Hearing that, Alec was startled and shouted: "Are you a robber?" The worst room card costs 20,000 gold coins, do you think I\'m stupid?"
After speaking, Alec also knew that he had lost control. After all, each person\'s personality is extremely difficult to change. It is simple for someone to pretend for a short time, but it\'s very hard to pretend for a long time.
Especially when youare surprised or angry, at that time, each person\'s true nature will be revealed very clearly.
The Seventh Elder frowned seeing this, his eyes revealing murderous intent and a bit of contempt.
He said: "Believe it or not, it\'s up to you. This is the price I announced a long time ago. If you don\'t believe it, you can ask everyone."
"Wait!" Alec gritted his teeth and said: "Sorry, I lostmy temper a bit just now."
"I heard that this place is for Enchanter Tower students. Everyone can enter this place to practice without paying, right?"
"Correct." The Seventh Elder replied.
"Why?"
"Yes, but that\'s not enough. If you want to go inside, you need to use contribution points to rent a room. You look so strange, I\'m sure you have no contribution points, right?"
Listening to the Seventh Elder speak, Alec thought to himself: \'Maybe I didn\'t show all my talents, so this person doesn\'t want to let me in.\'
\'That\'s good, take a closer look... at my true power.\'
Alec now floated the Black Rose Flame in his palm and smiled: "I\'m a bit useless so I can only control one type of Essence Flame, I just want to rent a room to practice."
"I hope you can help me this time. If in the future you need my help with anything, I certainly won\'t refuse."
Having finished speaking, Alec felt a little happy in his heart: \'Hahahaha... Can you see clearly? An Essence Flame... now you\'ll show a surprised face, then you will want to be friends with me, and you\'ll give me the best room, hahaha...\'
Indeed, the Seventh Elder was a bit surprised when he saw Black Rose Flame, but after that, his eyes became even colder.
"Brat… don\'t think that possessing an Essence Flame makes you arrogant."
Hearing that, Alec shivered. The Seventh Elder\'s murderous intent was so terrifying that it made him feel like he would be killed.
\'Bizarre!\' Inside, Alec screamed: \'Why isn\'t everything the way I thought it would be? This person should be surprised and interested in me.\'
"I don\'t know what I did wrong…" Alec frowned and said: "But I feel like you are deliberately making things difficult for me, and not letting me rent a practice room."
The Seventh Elder slowly stood up, he was holding the magic staff in one hand, and his pointed hat in the other,hefrowned and saying: "It seems... The Fifth Elder did not teach you how to talk to seniors and the rules of the Enchanter Tower."
Alec trembled, he slowly retreated, and his face began to show fear: "Wait! I… I don\'t want to rent anymore, I…"
"The room card, I gave it to you. Whether you use it or not, you have to pay the fee. 20,000 gold coins."
Listening to the Seventh Elder speak, Alec felt like he was about to cry. He felt that his fate was a bit tragic, no, too tragic.
At first, Lilith took all of his assets, and then he was forced to bear a huge debt.
Now, a gatekeeper was cheating him out of 20,000 gold coins. You must know that yesterday Mardian only gave him about 30,000 gold coins.
After he used more than 20,000 gold coins to buy herbs, he now only had about 10,000 gold coins left.
Alec gritted his teeth and said: "Senior, I only have 10,000 gold coins left, which is not enough to pay you. But I know how to refine medicinal herbs, whatever medicine you want, I will refine it for you."
The Seventh Elder smiled contemptuously: "You brat, are you looking down on me? This is the Enchanter Tower, do you think I don\'t know how to refine medicinal herbs?"
Alec: "…"
