Chapter 17 - Chat With Old Joz Part 1

Some time later, the spiritual ship that escorted Alu had arrived at the capital of the Phoenix Kingdom.

When the ship was just entering the city, Alu chose to jump straight from the ship that was flying towards the royal palace.

This time, Alu wanted to meet Old Joz first. Alu wanted to ask him about his mother and her background.

In order for his mother to have something that might be from Heaven, his mother's background was definitely not simple. After all, even a high-level expert in the World of Hundred Miracle might not be able to come into contact with such things.

....

Right beside the city wall, there is a bar which looks quite shabby but also big enough for a simple bar.

The people who walked in and out of the bar looked very messy with scary faces.

With one glance, one could tell that it was a place for ruffians and criminals.

...

Arriving in front of the bar, Alu immediately stepped into it.

ALU also covered his entire body with a black robe so that his face could barely be seen.

Although those people wouldn't recognize the only prince of the kingdom, Alu's appearance who clearly looked like a noble child was still out of place in that place. ALU doesn't want his appearance to bother him.

When Alu walked into the bar, he heard a lot of screaming from people who were drunk. Some are even seen fighting while others are seen having fun with women.

But Alu doesn't care about them. He casually sat down at an empty table.

His appearance that looks mysterious makes Alu glanced at by most people. But none of those people dared to bother Alu.

As ruffians, they were experienced enough to discern someone they couldn't mess with.

Only the cold aura emitted from Alu made them not dare to stare at Alu for too long.

...

Not long after Alu sat down, a female servant then came to Alu.

"What would you like to drink, sir." The servant asked in a friendly tone.

When she asked, her eyes couldn't help but stare at Alu's face which was almost covered by a hood.

Standing in front of Alu, the servant could still glimpse Alu's face.

Alu's face, which looked cold but charming, of course really surprised her. She wondered which family young master had come to their bar.

"I don't want to drink anything. I want the owner of this bar to come see me, can you call him?" Alu replied, waking the servant from her reverie.

"Eh." She was surprised by Alu's request.

While others didn't know, as someone who worked at the place, she still knew that the bar owner had an unexpected identity.

"Oh." Before the servant spoke, Alu suddenly averted his gaze as he saw an old man suddenly appear right behind the servant.

The old man had white hair and his body was slightly bent. If someone didn't know the old man, they would think he was just a gardener.

"He-he-he. This old man did not expect the Prince of Phoenix who never showed himself to suddenly appear in my humble place." The old man chuckled after he appeared, startling the servant.

The servant was shocked by the sudden appearance of the bar owner, but she was even more shocked by what he said.

"What."

This young man was actually the Phoenix Prince.

"You go back first." Said the old man to the maid who was still stunned.

...

After the female servant left, the old man who was better known as Old Joz then sat in front of Alu.

After sitting down, he took out two cups of red wine and placed one in front of Alu.

"So, was there something that made the Phoenix Prince come to this old man's place?" Asked Old Joz in a relaxed tone.

In the kingdom of Phoenix, even the nobles who were once Kings still have to call Alu as His Highness. But Old Joz, he can call Alu casually.

But Alu also didn't mind the way Old Joz called him. ALU can ignore other people, but not Old Joz who once roamed the outside world.

Although Old Joz's strength was not clearly known, just his experience was enough to make even Zaden cautious in front of him.

Of course, those who can roam the outside world are definitely not weak.

"I wanted to ask about my mother. I'm sure you know a lot about her." Alu immediately said what he wanted to ask.

"Hehehe." Old Joz chuckled once again after he heard Alu's question.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Zaden didn't want to talk about that woman. But as her son, I'm surprised you only asked now. I really want to know what makes you curious about your mother." Said Old Joz while looking at Alu with probing eyes.

With Old Joz's experience, he could naturally smell something that was causing a change in Alu's attitude.

Alu remained calm even though Old Joz looked suspicious.

What his mother left behind was indeed something that could arouse the greed of even a very strong expert. But Alu is still quite sure about Old Joz.

Given the time Old Joz spent in Phoenix city, he probably already knew a lot of secrets. But the fact that he had never done anything harmful to the Phoenix clan proved that Old Joz had no ill intentions.

Of course, even if Old Joz really wouldn't do anything dangerous, Alu still wouldn't tell him what made him become attracted to his mother.

In front of an extraordinary treasure, even a god could change his mind, not to mention a mere Old Joz.

"Yeah." Old Joz spoke again as he watched Alu remain silent.

"With your mother's current strength, I certainly don't dare to do anything strange to you. Your mother's cultivation when she last came to this place made this old man really afraid." Said Old Joz, making Alu knit his brows.

"Hehehe." Old Joz smiled.

"If you want to know the story about your mother, then we have to start from when your father was a baby."

"At that time, your dead grandfather stumbled across a baby girl the same age as your father.

What surprised your grandfather was; the baby girl he had found actually had a special talent for spirit power.

You know, most spirit masters only awaken their special talents when they grow up, but your mother, even from infancy, she can awaken her special talents.

Mm, actually it wasn't that extraordinary because in the outside world there were still clans that did specialize in spirit power. Such clan descendants can usually awaken their spirit power from the moment they are born.

Of course, such clans were also very strong in the outside world.

Your grandfather who only lives in remote places naturally doesn't know of the existence of such a clan, but he still knows that the baby he found was a magic baby.

Finding such a miracle baby, he naturally immediately took it to the Phoenix clan and raised it as if it were his own child.

And when your mother was growing up, she was even more shocking than your grandfather imagined.

Well, that was the beginning of your mother's existence in this place.

However, all that started to change when a group of strangers suddenly came and wanted to take your mother away. "

Old Joz stopped his words as he spoke up to that point.

Old Joz looked at Alu's face, but to his surprise, he didn't find any reaction on Alu's face.
