Chapter 61
Back in the Archduchy, Michelle went to tell the Archduke about the Soul Seeking Pendants. Cold Flame didn’t follow, and instead went to look for Alexander Terce. He had a few questions for him, but just from Michelle’s memories, he knew that Alexander was unpredictable and probably wouldn’t answer his questions.
Also, from the memories inherited from his ancestors, Cold Flame had a guess about Alexander’s identity, which made him frown. Why would a person like that be in the lower realm? And in the Land of Exile at that...
He threw those thoughts behind his head and went to the illegal auction house. If his guess was right, he should be able to meet Alexander if he went to David Elether. And even if that wasn’t the case, David could as well answer his questions. If by chance it happened that David wasn’t in the auction house, he could just go to the Imperial Palace to search for him since he was at the moment the Prince Regent.
Arriving at the illegal auction house, Cold Flame told the pretty lady that greeted him that he came to see the owner. When she told him he wasn’t around, he rolled his eyes and left. Outside the auction house, he took on his shrunken beast form, turning into a small bird, and quickly flew towards the palace.
There, he didn’t have to do much to meet David. He just took on his human form and went straight towards the little Emperor’s office. He used his spirit energy to conceal himself, so the guards were completely oblivious as he passed by them. At most, some more sensitive ones felt like wind brushed against them.
Stopping in front of the little Emperor’s office, he knocked on the door after revealing himself. "Enter!" David’s voice carried through, and Cold Flame opened the door. He was met with the gazes of the little Emperor and David.
David instantly recognized Cold Flame to be the Vermilion Bird and raised a brow. He didn’t know about Cold Flame’s contract with Michelle, so he didn’t know why the ruler of all birds came to see him and the little Emperor. He was also a bit surprised that the Vermilion Bird had ice element spirit energy, but that wasn’t something that had never happened in history, so he didn’t think too much about it. "How can I help you?" David asked as he stood up slowly, his eyes fixed on Cold Flame, a bit of wariness in his gaze.
Cold Flame remained silent for a long while before opening his mouth to speak: "Dark Lord, where can I find the Dark Lord?" What he asked sounded nonsensical, but in reality it made sense since Dark Lord were actually two very similar people.
Hearing the question, David arched a brow. It wasn’t surprising for the Vermilion Bird to know about the existence of two Dark Lords and to know that he was one of them, but why would he want to meet the other Dark Lord? "Why do you want to meet him?" he asked with a frown.
