《Legacy: Lord Alba》I do not trust you
Advertisement
When it rained, This was not over the whole room but only in the center just behind Audrey, At first, there were only a few, but slowly they were increasing, until it came to a small waterfall.
After seeing this, Alexander shouted: "Audrey, you can stop now".
Hearing this, Audrey began to slowly withdraw her qi from the formation, Opening her eyes, and stopped, Focusing her sight on Alexander. As if she wanted to kill him. You could see that she was angry.
Alexander was already expecting this, so sighing he said: "In my defense, if tell you, you wouldn't have done it, but look around you, it wasn't worth it...".
Audrey continued to see with cold eyes Alexander, She at this moment was furious, Because of having to give her qi for training, Her cultivation regressed two levels. She had lost the qi she found so hard to Gathering.
When she heard those words she saw the waterfall of Water in the middle of the room. But this was not a regular water, but you could see a shade of blue, which gave it a mystical touch.
This waterfall could be seen feeding the formation after she stopped. While the surplus remained in the hole causing it to slowly fill.
After that, she followed the waterfall towards the ceiling to see a cloud of dark blue gas covering the ceiling.
Seeing this, she began to see the rest of the room and saw all the patterns emitting a slight light of different colors, To the boilers with the boiling water releasing smoke towards the ceiling.
Finishing examining the room, he turned his attention back to Alexander, and asked, "What is this?"
Alexander shrugged and said: "A series of very complicated formations".
Audrey, she realized that even if they explained it to her, she wouldn't understand it, so she just changed the subject, she pointed to the hole with blue water: "and what is this water for?"

Alexander responded with a slight smile: "You'd better see it," he turned around, pointed to two maids, and said "You, and you, go get a bucket, but it has to be very clean. Then take some water from that hole and water the herbs in the room.
They went to look for a couple of buckets, and when they returned they showed them to Alexander. When they received his authorization they took out Water from the hole with the buckets.
Then they walked to the herbs and saw the water on the plateaus, Audrey, Frey and the rest were waiting curiously. Luckily it didn't disappoint them.
A few seconds later, we began to see changes in the herbs, growing little by little. This made Frey's eyes begin to shine, Apart from literature, I had another hobby and that was gardening, So I was well informed about the subject, so I was seeing, The herb was growing in age, this a few moments ago was 15 years old but was slowly approaching 16 and still adding.
Then he saw again Alexander incredulous, In fact not only him but the whole room, they were seeing him, Waiting for an explanation.
Alexander began to explain: "This formation creates a liquid, resulting from the combination of the gaseous state of water and qi in a gaseous state. This liquid is ideal to help accelerate the growth of alchemical ingredients.
Then he turned to see everyone in the room and said: "This is something that only plants and herbs can direct. If humans consume this liquid, there is only one result, and that is death".
These consist of more than 20 people, and examined them one by one: "Many must have doubts about why I let them see this. This is simple, it's because I don't know if I can trust you.

Hearing this many became nervous, but kept hearing: "I don't know if you're a spy or not, but if anyone is, as usual after helping with training arrangements they would have sent information to their employers," he paused briefly and continued: "Now, you must be smart to be able to fool Mr. Frey for so long, So I asked you, If you report what you saw today, what do you think will happen?"
At the time Alexander said this, Many thought, Having a background that does this is inconceivable, you will most likely try your best to get it, and when you do, you will kill everyone you don't trust, just like them.
Now they understand why that child didn't let them leave before, If they had left long ago, the information would have been sent already, sealing their deaths.
Alexander continued, "Now you have to make a choice, you die like a spy or you live under the wing of mister Frey.
Many were thinking carefully about what the other party said, it was true what he said, if they told this to their employers as much as possible they would end up dead, so many decided to keep quiet about today's issue. A few more astute ones thought that if they followed this child they could reach heights they never expected to reach.
So I speak no more, he instructed two male servants to keep the cauldrons full of water, while two other servants would be there to water the herbs once in the morning and once in the evening. These would be rewarded with ten extra silver coins for performing these tasks, of course, it was Walter who paid.
Alexander reminded the caretakers that herbs like this release seeds every ten years, so he wanted them collected and planted inside the room. So they would not lack medicinal herbs for themselves in the future. So he gave them money to buy everything they needed.
Frey for his part was surprised when he heard that among his servants had spied, but after careful thought, he found it realistic, after all, he was a figure of political weight in the kingdom, so more than one wanted him controlled.
What surprised him the most was how the third prince handled the situation, he didn't ask for names, he didn't punish anyone and even so, you could see that spies didn't inform their employers.
It was best for both parties. They didn't say anything about what they saw today and Alexander didn't ask about who were spies or not. This was best because if the servants disappeared, it would arouse suspicions from their employers, which would make them more curious about what was going on in the mansion. Something Alexander didn't want.
So Alexander, Frey, and Audrey left the room.
Shortly afterward the other servants left, leaving only those in charge of carrying out the tasks of the boilers and watering the herbs.
