Chapter 2478 Windborn's CourtyardAlex heard faint words from the ongoing interview as he made his way through the street. If he focused on it, he could hear the Puppet God talking with someone, asking them questions about their past.
The street got a lot less dense as they moved away from where the stadium was, taking in a much more festive environment. This was the one time when so many people from so many worlds could be together, so they were doing what they could in the little time there was.
There were auctions being set up, vendors selling their wares, and people providing various services. There were also many that were trying to get recruited into different sects, cults, and guilds.
The tournament was not just a way to find great alchemists but also a way for various people to connect with other people or items.
Windborn took various turns successively throughout the road heading east. About five minutes later, they arrived in a section of the city that seemed to hold the moderately rich individuals.
"This is my place," Windborn said, standing before the gate.
Alex nodded, but before he could walk in, the Divinity stopped him.
"Let me make sure there are no dangers here first." The Divinity walked in before either of the two could and spread his Divine senses to
Alex thought for a moment on whether to answer that question or not. He had already burned the pill inside of his body, so he had no reason to tell the truth completely, but choosing to not answer could be a good way of showing Windborn that he had something important to hide.
'I can't not answer the very first question though,' Alex thought. 'I should reserve my silence for later.'
"I started practicing Alchemy when I was 18, and I am close to a millennium now. While I do consider it as being a long time, I don't think many would," Alex answered.
Windborn seemed surprised by the answer. "At 18? That is quite young. When did you make your first pill then?"
"A month after I started learning it, I think. It's been a long time, so my memories of that time are a little foggy right now," Alex said. He had indeed made his pill before he unlocked his Spiritual sense, so the memories from back then weren't as firm as the others were.
Windborn seemed surprised. "That is quite fast. Just a month? Really?" he asked.
"Yes," Alex said. "Although, I should explain that my sect was in a truly poor location, so even pills with 10% harmony were considered successful. It must've taken me at least a few more months to make a pill that would be acceptable around here."
"Ah! That certainly explains it," Windborn said. "I would call you a monster if you really did make proper pills in just a month."
"I would too," Alex said and smiled, waiting for the man to ask more of his questions.
