The Man’s Decree

“I’ve truly never heard of this illness you speak of. It seems I still have a lot to learn. Initially, I had no intention of attending the Alchemist Fair, finding it a waste of time since it was nothing more than a place where Supreme Alchemists fished for fame. But now, I’ve changed my mind. I can’t keep living with my old mindset. Thank you very much!”

Hartwin gratefully patted Jared on the shoulder.

Initially, he had no interest whatsoever in the Alchemist Fair.

However, that changed because the latter’s appearance made him realize just how little he knew, the illness Jared spoke of unheard of to him.

“Well, we have something to learn from everyone, Mr. Bellamy. Aside from having to improve your medical skills, you also need to put some effort into matters of the heart. I believe that Winona can see your efforts,” Jared said with a laugh.

Hartwin was momentarily taken aback, but he then broke into a grin. “I will.”

Subsequently, he warned, “But you also need to be careful. After all, a hundred-year offering by the Demon Seal Alliance is incredibly tempting. Even with King Bernard’s protection, there will always be those who will take risks when a great reward is at stake. You must stay on guard!”

Although Jared had Allardland as his backing, there was no absolute guarantee that no one had him in their sights.

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Bellamy, I’ll be on my guard.”

Jared gave a nod.

“It’s best you leave as soon as possible, Mr. Chance. Before setting off for Medicine God Island, it’s advisable not to simply wander around!” Wyatt stepped forward and urged Jared to leave.

After all, many people were there, and no one could be certain that nobody had Jared in their sights.

If someone were to suddenly make a move against him, it would be downright impossible

to guard against.

Thus, Jared returned to the Zeever residence with Viola and Sigurd.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Heidi and Forden followed suit.

Heidi wasn’t particularly concerned about Jared’s identity, but she was quite curious about the lovesickness Jared mentioned.

At the end of the day, every girl hoped to have a man who was completely devoted to her.

“Forden, if I were to suddenly disappear, would you contract lovesickness like Prince Cedric?” Heidi asked Forden upon returning to the Zeever residence.

“Of course! Without you, my life would be meaningless!” Forden asserted affectionately, holding her hand.

When Heidi heard that, her lips curved into a smile. She nestled against him contentedly.

Looking at the couple, Jared chuckled helplessly, for he wasn’t optimistic about their relationship.

Perhaps Heidi had feelings for Forden, but the latter certainly didn’t have much affection for her.

To put it bluntly, their union was nothing more than a merger of interests.

For the sake of both families, they were brought together in a marriage alliance.

Once interests were thrown into the mix, the relationship would no longer be pure.

Nonetheless, that was an individual choice, and he had no right to question anything.

During his stay at the Zeever residence, Jared did not venture out. Instead, he took Wyatt’s advice to heart and remained hidden.

Over the past few days, he practiced the integration of divine markings and demonic markings continuously. Although he was still clueless about what exactly the Heaven and Earth Array was, he needed to work hard since Divinus had already said that he was the only one who could break the array.

“We’ve been notified about the departure to Medicine God Island, Mr. Chance.”

Three days later, Sigurd informed Jared that they could set off for Medicine God Island.

Only then did the latter emerge from his room and head toward Yannopolis’ square with him.

By then, a crowd of alchemists had already gathered there.

All of them had passed the assessment, but they had Hartwin to thank. If it weren’t for him, likely more than half of them there wouldn’t have been able to go to Medicine God Island.

Following Thaddeus’ command, the alchemists began queuing according to their respective regions.

Jared chose to join Wyatt’s Central Alchemist Guild straight away. Viola and Sigurd also positioned themselves within the ranks of the same.
