Chapter 45 - Dead prince

Is everything Alderp just said really true?, Or is this fat man simply lying?

Before Milcar could ask, Alderp made another move to take something out of his pocket.

"Hehehe, well, actually... I... damn it, I mean, I know it seems a bit silly, but I really wish you, Milcar, could join the city of Axel...", Alderp takes out a small chest, this small chest with gold edges is similar to a giant chest with golden decorations, the wood is a reddish-green color and emanates a somewhat eerie sensation.

"My Barnes family has been planning this for a long time, and we have made certain advances by investigating some things. You understand, we need to confirm that all of this is true. I need it, you need it too. Well, this is an artifact produced by the Barnes family".

Alderp places the small chest on the table near Milcar, then Alderp simply steps back to sit in his former position. His attitude now is more serene, and his mind seems to have calmed down. Right now, Alderp is observing Milcar with penetrating eyes.

"...", Milcar remains silent. He does not seem ready to respond, glancing slightly at his companions Kazuma, Megumin, and Darkness, who have solemn faces and say nothing. It seems they are waiting for Milcar's orders.

Then, Milcar looks at Wiz. To be honest, Milcar is very interested in Wiz at this moment.

Why did Wiz join Alderp Alexei Barnes as a subordinate?

Milcar was about to open his mouth, but Wiz stood up from her seat. She noticed Milcar's gaze and simply stood up. She seems ready to say something.

When Wiz stood up, her whole body was revealed. Despite wearing one of those loose purple outfits, Wiz's wide hips are something Milcar cannot comprehend. Can biology reach such a point?, Can a woman really walk with that body?

In Milcar's mind came some fanart of Wiz from his former life, those fanarts with completely exaggerated proportions of hips, breasts, and waist.

"Well, since Alderp said it, I should also present some of my ideas, hehe," Wiz nervously smiles while rubbing her hands.

"Well, actually, maybe Mr. Milcar has already noticed this, but I belong to the Demon King's faction. I am one of the generals to be exact...", Wiz slightly smiles, her face emanates calmness while her bright eyes keep focusing on Milcar.

As Wiz expected, Milcar shows no change in his face or expression. Wiz feels a slight sense of trepidation each time she looks at Milcar, as if this man had the power to kill her in just a blink of an eye.

Even so, Wiz still shows a confident face at this moment. She spoke with confidence, but Megumin and Kazuma and Darkness swallowed hard. They were about to try to get up to say something, but a kind of energy kept them in their place with their mouths closed. Without thinking much, they quickly realized that this strange power belongs to Milcar.

"Mr. Alderp's plan was a carefully thought-out plan after taking many variables into account. We have detected a... the astrology of our ancestors has allowed us to have a vague view of what the world we inhabit and its surroundings are like. In short, we discover some kind of fluctuation in magic affecting the world, as if in some part of the planet the magical energy disappeared, as if there were a small hole that cannot be filled, that small hole is constantly absorbing magic",

Wiz made a slight pause to let Milcar assimilate her words. She continues rubbing her hands while smiling kindly.

"After some experiments, it was discovered that this small hole is so tiny that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is everywhere at the same time and nowhere at the same time. What I mean is that we have a theory that if we manage to use divinity to trap this small hole and enlarge it, we can open a kind of door to another world, the world where all the magic that this small hole is absorbing goes...", Wiz speaks with slight emotion. Her eyes seem to shine slightly, her body moves with rhythmic movements, and a charming smile appears on her face.

The feeling that Milcar had been feeling all this time, a strange mix of surprise and excitement, is suddenly replaced by disappointment.

"What you have is a theory?, Do you think that because the magic is drained by this hole you can use divinity to open this hole and create a wormhole?", Milcar smiles, almost letting out an audible laugh, but he restrained himself.

Milcar was really surprised a few moments ago, thinking that Alderp had really discovered something incredible. But if all that this fat man and Wiz have are just theories and nothing has been proven, Is it even worth paying attention to this matter?

Milcar was about to get up and leave Alderp's castle when Alderp himself began to laugh heartily.

"Hahaha, really, you really are Milcar. You are a man really worth having as an ally... if everything I just said were only theories, then there would be no need to take this matter so seriously. But there is some truth in everything that comes out of my mouth. I have verified that the royal family of Belzerg possesses divinity in their souls. I can... prove it...", Alderp stops smiling and looks directly into Milcar's eyes.

Alderp gets up again and grabs the small chest he placed on the table.

"Since I have revealed everything I plan to do, it is no problem to tell you that...", Alderp deliberately stretched his words, as if he were trying to create an atmosphere of mystery.

"Jatice Stylish, the crown prince of Belzerg, I suppose you know or have heard that he disappeared in one of his expeditions against one of the camps of the Demon King's forces. It was unfortunate news, but it was not the truth. That news is false", after Alderp said these words, the hearts of Megumin, Kazuma, and Darkness skipped a beat.

Just a few months ago, the news spread throughout the Belzerg kingdom and the city of Axel that Crown Prince Jatice Stylish had led a squad of elite knights to siege one of the key camps in the Demon King's army. However, nothing more was heard.

Now, everyone in the Belzerg kingdom and the city of Axel seems to be waiting for good news about Prince Jatice Stylish. However, according to what Alderp said, it seems that the crown prince has disappeared and the news was not spread.

On the other hand, Alderp believes that Milcar, a powerful man, knows this news. After all, a man with Milcar's power, How could he not be informed about the latest news on the front?

However, Milcar simply raises an eyebrow before making a half-smile and shaking his head at everything Alderp just said.

"The truth is that I have to thank Lady Wiz. Thanks to her, we managed to capture the crown prince. What was just a theory, a conspiracy, or some crazy thought was confirmed..." Alderp smiles while licking his lips as if remembering something beautiful.

"The crown prince, we already have his soul. In fact, the results were more favorable than I previously thought. Once we managed to obtain the soul of the crown prince, we sealed it in a chest like this one, and now it can serve us as a kind of divinity generator. You understand, Right?... what... I just said... is divinity, Mr. Milcar!!!, The power of god!!", Alderp seems to get more excited with each word that comes out of his mouth.

At this moment, Milcar does not need to hear another word. He quickly stands up and looks Alderp in the eyes.

"I want to see it. I want to see what divinity is for," Milcar smiles slightly, a feeling of longing surging in his heart. He wants to know how this so-called divinity differs from immortal Qi.
