Chapter 980 Elizabeth\'s Burp
Faelyn was immediately engrossed in the wealth of knowledge pertaining to alchemy. Even so, it was only but a fraction of Leon\'s alchemy knowledge.
Being the only son of the Divine Medicine King, someone who has mastered alchemy and medicine up to the ninth tier, there was nothing that Leon didn\'t learn from his father in his past life.
Despite his impressive background, he could only reach the sixth tier in alchemy and medicine.
After all, knowledge did not equal mastery.
"This is just some introductory knowledge to alchemy. You can start familiarizing yourself with it, for the time being, Fae," Leon stated.
After all, they were still in the middle of a mission. Faelyn wouldn\'t be able to put her newfound alchemy knowledge to practice while they are moving around a lot.
"Mm," Faelyn quietly nodded.
Shortly after, they shifted their attention to the city ahead of them. It was one of Durham\'s border cities.
However, it was old and in poor condition, a complete contrast to the new and growing city back in the heart of the empire.
People wandered the streets and browsed the wares of the stores, busying themselves with their daily lives like any other day.
The heat from the sun and the stuffy smell in the air suppressed the city\'s liveliness. Still, Leon didn\'t see anything unusual from a glance.
"It\'s a different air out here," Faelyn softly commented.
"Yeah, the heat always has that stuffiness to it, and the spirit energy is still faint in this region," Leon replied.
"Nevertheless, given time, the spirit energy density will gradually increase and improve the air quality in this region. Even so, we can imagine the air quality to be even worse in regions the World Tree\'s spirit energy has yet to reach."
"Fortunately, my father has deployed the Demon Gathering Arrays. Thus, the worse has been avoided," Leon added.
Although people could still be harmed by prolonged exposure to the sunlight, at least they all kept their sanity.
Heinrich\'s map marked the cities, but it didn\'t show the exact locations of the Demon Gathering Arrays.
Nevertheless, it wasn\'t difficult for Leon to find.
By spreading out his divine sense and following the direction of the faint Wrathful Demon Energy in the atmosphere that was being pulled, Leon soon arrived at the Demon Gathering Array with Faelyn and the two Winter Cats.
"Greetings, Your Highness," two Earth Transcendents landed on the roof of the tallest building in the city to greet Leon.
Leon acknowledged their greeting with a nod.
"It seems like the Demon Gathering Array in this city hasn\'t been targeted by the devil worshippers. That\'s good," Leon uttered.
Leon approached the Demon Gathering Array shortly after and extracted every last ounce of the compressed Wrathful Demon Energy stored inside the crystal orb.
The Wrathful Demon Energy was all dumped inside Leon\'s Black Vortex for refinement.
Thanks to that, Leon received a sizable amount of demon energy and comprehension fragments of the Wrath Law, which he quickly absorbed.
The minuscule amounts of comprehension fragments strengthened his understanding of the Wrath Law.
On the other hand, the Tome of Eternal Darkness further refined the demon energy and improved his demon cultivation.
"Your Highness…?" the Earth Transcendents gazed at Leon with suspicion and doubts in regards to his action.
"The Demon Gathering Arrays will continue to gather and compress Wrathful Demon Energy so long as there are any to collect. There\'s a risk of it exploding if we don\'t empty it periodically," Leon stated.
"On another note, you two need to be more careful when guarding the Demon Gathering Array."
Leon proceeded to warn the Earth Transcendents about the devil worshippers. Then, he instructed them to hide and determine the enemy\'s strength first before deciding whether to confront them if they encountered them.
After all, it was better to abandon the Demon Gathering Array and report the information back instead of dying to the enemy.
To deal with the devil worshippers, intelligence on their activities was crucial.
"Understood, Your Highness. We\'ve engraved your words in our hearts," the Earth Transcendent solemnly assured.
"Good," Leon nodded with acknowledgment before informing them of his departure, "Then, I\'ll be leaving for the next city."
Leon opened the Dark Passage and left with Faelyn and the Winter Cats shortly after.
In the following few hours, Leon made rounds through the cities of Durham and Valaran to extract the accumulated Wrathful Demon Energy from each Demon Gathering Arrays as he checked on the situation.

Inside King Lutheran\'s study room, the negotiation between King Lutheran and Elizabeth gradually finished.
Elizabeth did not need to wait for King Lutheran to summon people to gather the items for the exchange.
King Lutheran directly transferred the items to Elizabeth\'s interspatial ring from his own interspatial ring.
"Great. It looks like it\'s finally been settled," Elizabeth stated after confirming the inventory. "I trust you will be able to put the Demon Gathering Array to good use, King Lutheran."
"Naturally," King Lutheran nodded.
Once his runemasters finished studying and replicating the Demon Gathering Array, King Lutheran could ease the problem in the kingdom.
Furthermore, King Lutheran could also use the Demon Gathering Arrays to bait the devil worshippers out of their hidings.
"The Demon Gathering Array was just what our kingdom needed. Once again, I must thank you, Queen Elizabeth. You have my sincerest gratitude—or should I address you as Empress Elizabeth?"
"No need for thanks. We had a deal, King Lutheran. You may address however you see fit," Elizabeth calmly stated when she suddenly felt bloated. "Burp* Excuse me, this doesn\'t happen often."
King Lutheran\'s eyes narrowed before they flickered with an understanding look in the next moment as a smile hung on his face.
"Oh? Congratulations in advance, Your Imperial Majesty. I look forward to the next time we meet," King Lutheran said with a knowing look.
"As do I, King Lutheran," Elizabeth nodded after her initial surprise.
…
Sometime later, after Elizabeth, Darlene, and the Paragon-level Winter Cats all left, the smile was immediately wiped off King Lutheran\'s face, replaced by a cold expression.
"Send this to the Venerable Runemaster to study immediately. And get someone to summon my brother, Duke Flugerd, to the Great Hall right this instance!"
King Lutheran bellowed coldly.
