Chapitre 1566: 9-Veined Pill

Alex knew what was happening. There were no other possibilities. Still, he held out hope and tried to check in the direction of the Royal School of Alchemy. Maybe one of his alchemists had been the one to make the pill.

Alas, they were not. The pill cloud was forming, and it was forming atop the Dragon Palace. 

No one around him seemed to notice what was happening at all. Everyone went about their daily life, with only Alex feeling any sort of emotion at all. That was until he noticed that they were just ignoring what was happening.

'They are already used to it,' he thought.

"Your Majesty, how is there a pill cloud when you're here?" the painter asked.

Alex stood up. "I'm sorry, brother Tian, but I must leave for now. I'll meet you a few days later for the painting. It was great seeing you again."
