Chapter 395 He just refused you a moment ago

Alice initially thought that no one sane would exchange an alchemy furnace of the same level for a pill of equal value.

Now, she felt almost guilty, as if she were taking advantage of an elderly person.

“Elder Astraeus, maybe you should reconsider? I think we shouldn’t go through with the exchange,” Alice suggested, feeling that it might be inappropriate after calming down.

It was one thing if Thaddeus had sold the furnace to her, but Astraeus was an elderly man who had sincerely bowed to her.

She felt uneasy about taking advantage of such a situation.

Onlookers also felt that Alice would be getting the better end of the deal by exchanging, but Astraeus appeared anxious.

He took out an Olympian Emerald-Golden Glow Bracelet, also a Legendary Artifact, and offered it to Alice, saying, “Miss, this bracelet is also a Legendary Artifact. I’ll give it to you as well. This pill is extremely important to me, so please, let’s make the exchange.”

To others, the Serenity Elixir might not be very useful, but for the Pantheon Guild, it was a treasure of incalculable value.

Astraeus thought Alice was hesitant because the Olympian Star-Patterned Alchemical Furnace alone wasn’t enough, so he voluntarily added another Legendary Artifact to the deal.

“Elder Astraeus, that’s not what I meant!” Alice became even more embarrassed and said, “If you really need this pill, I’ll give it to you.”

Astraeus nodded and replied, “Thank you. Please also accept this bracelet,it’s of no use to me.”

“How can I accept this?” Alice felt uncomfortable, thinking she was already taking advantage, and now Astraeus was offering another Legendary Artifact, making her feel even more indebted.

William chimed in, “Don’t refuse, just take it.”

His comment drew disdainful looks from the bystanders.

They were all aware of Alice’s status as a Quasi-Deity or higher, and by that measure, Alice might even be older than Astraeus.

When William says something like this, doesn’t he feel a bit embarrassed or guilty at all?

Alice, hearing William’s words, could only thank him and accept the bracelet.

Upon receiving the Serenity Elixir, Astraeus visibly relaxed.

With only a little of his original life force remaining, he was uncertain how much longer he could stay in this world.

Now, with the elixir, he could fulfill his last wish.

Astraeus had noticed Luna and Erebus upon entering.

If these powerful Shapeshifters weren’t standing by William, he would have probably fled in fear by now.

With William present, however, these beings seemed more like his pets.

Of course, Astraeus hadn’t forgotten the promise he made to William.

Now that his wish was fulfilled, he was ready to boldly carry out William’s request.

Just then, a young man and a middle-aged man entered Mystic Attic.

“Wait a minute! I want that alchemy furnace!”

This statement made almost everyone turn their heads. Ch𝒆ck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐m

Really? Someone dared to compete with Alice for an item?

“Astraeus! Hahaha!” The middle-aged man beside the young man laughed heartily. “I’ve been secluded for so long, and when I finally step out, I hear you’re the world’s strongest. Yet today, it seems your life is nearly at its end, far from your past glory. I wanted to challenge you, but in this state, it’s truly uninteresting! Utterly uninteresting!”

The customers in Mystic Attic fell silent upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words.

Most had only heard of Astraeus’s name and had never seen him in person. The former leader of the Pantheon Guild, known as the strongest in the world, was now this elderly man before them.

Yet, someone was openly challenging Astraeus, speaking in a tone that seemed quite dismissive.

“Sebastian Murphy?! You’re still alive!” Astraeus’s brows furrowed slightly, but his gaze lingered meaningfully on the young man beside him.

“If you’re still in the world of the living, how could I possibly be dead?” Sebastian appeared to be in his forties, with a physique like a sculpted statue, his skin a healthy bronze tone, and a build even more outstanding than professional bodybuilders.

Yet he addressed Astraeus directly by name, suggesting he might be older than Astraeus.

Astraeus, facing Sebastian, merely smiled, “Your Celestial Sentinels Guild members really are unique, living for thousands of years and still retaining more than half of your original life force.”

Previously, when William had asked Astraeus to eliminate three individuals, one of them was Dominic from the Celestial Sentinels Guild.

The young man beside Sebastian seemed to be protected by some mysterious power, likely to be Dominic.

Sebastian, with his arms crossed behind his back, confidently said, “Naturally, our pursuit in the Celestial Sentinels Guild is to transcend limits through martial prowess, to reach a realm where we can shatter space itself. Even if we enter the Divine Realm, we shall remain top-tier warriors.”

Astraeus, with a flicker of sarcasm in his eyes, retorted, “I’ve heard your guild pursues the ultimate in combat skills, but it seems no one has really reached that legendary realm in thousands of years.”

His words were a clear challenge to Sebastian, sparing no consideration for his pride.

“Hmph! I didn’t come today to argue with you! Your alchemical furnace has caught the interest of this young apprentice from our guild. Tell me, what do you want in exchange?” Sebastian’s focus was clearly on the young man by his side, while he completely ignored Alice and her group.

What about someone surpassing the Quasi-Deity level?

How could such a person exist in this world?

At first glance, the energy emanating from Alice was that of a typical mid-level Soulmancer, and she even looked like a young woman in her twenties.

If she really were a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse, surely her original life force couldn’t be this abundant?

I heard that Garen directly conceded in front of Alice!

What level of strength does that put Garen at?

A Demi-God level swordsman, thinking he is invincible?

The only explanation must be that Garen intentionally conceded to Alice for some reason!

Astraeus first asked, “What’s the name of this young man beside you?”

Sebastian glanced at the young man, who then bowed and said, “My name is Dominic.”

“Dominic! A good name,” Astraeus chuckled, head lowered.

“This alchemical furnace, since it’s already promised to someone else, obviously can’t be sold to you,” Astraeus smiled, “Sebastian, surely you wouldn’t stoop to playing the role of a robber over such an item?”

Sebastian laughed heartily, then turned his gaze to Alice, saying, “Young lady, how about you exchange the pill with me instead?”

Simply put, if Astraeus didn’t want to sell to him, then he would ruin his deal.

He had also heard about the mental derangement of Ares, the leader of the Pantheon Guild. This pill must not fall into Astraeus’s hands.

Once Astraeus leaves this world with Ares still mentally unstable, their Celestial Sentinels Guild would become the strongest guild in the world.

Claiming to want to buy the alchemical furnace, but his real purpose was something else.

Alice also responded, “Oh no, that won’t do! I’ve already promised it to this elder here.”

Sebastian’s gaze sharpened, he said coldly, “Young lady, I advise you to think carefully before answering! Those who have refused me in the past haven’t met with good ends.”

Before Alice could speak, William, pointing at Astraeus, said with a smile, “He just refused you a moment ago.”
