Chapter 30: Conversation With The Imperial Teacher 1
Aldrian stared at the ceiling for a moment and sighed.
"It looks like I was so tired that I fell asleep." He scratched his head and stood up to stretch his body.
"But it's also good for me, I feel so much refreshed after a good sleep." He walked towards the balcony of his room to look at the scenery outside. The wind greeted his face as he stood outside, gazing at Balin. He spread his sense to his domain to assess the situation in the entire city. The city had already come to grips with what happened last night, and many talks and rumors were already spreading everywhere.
Some said the devils tried to seize Balin because they found hidden treasure there. Others claimed the great cultivator who defeated the hydra was one of the ten great swordmasters of the continent. Even rumors of orthodox and unorthodox cultivators being in cahoots with the devils circulated. Such rumors colored conversations since last night, continuing to grow. Despite this, the Balin authorities remained silent, only instructing people to continue their usual activities and reassuring them that the devil problem had been solved.
Aldrian could hear some of these conversations and found them amusing. He also noticed people trying to comprehend his sword will remnant, hoping they wouldn't hurt themselves trying to understand it. The remnant contained many of his comprehensions of energy and laws and also a simple yet difficult-to-materialize concept.
Knock knock
He heard a knock on his room door and turned to look at it before moving to open it. When he opened it, he saw a maid bowing and said to Aldrian,
"Young master, sorry if I'm disturbing you, but there is a gue—"
"There's no need to tell him. I'm the one who wants to talk to him, so I should be the one to come." The elf with golden hair and a short beard suddenly interrupted. The maid, who was about to report something, was shocked and bowed her head. Aldrian, seeing her reaction, was also stunned when he recognized the information of the elf in front of him.
"He is Elthar Evergreen without disguise?" he thought. But he cupped his hands to show respect.
"May I know who this mister is?" Aldrian asked.
