Chapter 246 I want a great storyteller!

10 MINUTES LATER

"This is not the thing that I am expecting to happen, but this is actually better..." Alex muttered to himself as he and the others stared at the blue prisoner, who was still kowtowing in front of Alex, even when 10 minutes have already gone by.

"PLEASE BE LENIENT TO ME!"

"Okay, okay, I get it. You want my forgiveness, since you are scared of me." Alex replied as he sneered at the blue prisoner. "Well, I might forgive you right now, but do you think I will just let you get off easily? Nothing in this world is free, especially your lowly life!"

"HII!!!"

Alex could not help but laugh as he stared at the blue prisoner’s panicked face, which just served to make the blue prisoner more scared.

"Since this blue prisoner is afraid of me being an Abyss Sage, then that means that we can win this confrontation by using this status of mine!" Alex thought to himself slyly as he licked his lips. "Hehehe, even if am not sure on why he is scared of an Abyss Sage, I have no qualms with it. I can just ask the reason for that later. For now, I must focus on making this blue guy fully submit to me!"

Since Alex had now gained an advantage against this blue prisoner, he will of course use this advantage to his fullest!

Alex also made sure that he sounded confident right now, as he had a hunch that their current situation requires him to act confidently!

"Don’t worry, lowly prisoner. As long as you entertain me well, I will let you off." Alex said as he mimicked the way that [Asteria] had talked before. "Well, that is if you can really entertain me. Can you do it?"

"OF COURSE MILORD! I CAN ENTERTAIN YOU!" The blue prisoner replied as he seemed to have ignored the chains shackling his body. "JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO, AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO TELL IT TO YOU!"

"Jackpot." Alex thought to himself triumphantly as the same sneering smile stayed on his face.

Now that the blue prisoner had offered his initiative to please Alex, Alex of course decided to make the blue prisoner do the one thing that will help Alex the most now.

"Hmph, lowly prisoner, are you good at telling stories?" Alex shouted to the blue prisoner as he gave him a disdaining look. "I have been bored with the things that I have seen here, so I wanted to hear something nice. You, you can manage something easy like that, right?"

"OF COURSE, OF COURSE MILORD SAGE! I CAN TELL YOU A GOOD STORY!" The blue prisoner rapidly replied as his head bobbed up and down quickly. "WHAT STORY DO YOU WANT ME TO TELL? DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE LEGEND OF THE FIVE SUCCUBI? OR THE TALES OF DURAT THE SNEK?"

"Huh? Do you take me for an idiot? I already heard all about those stories!" Of course Alex actually had never heard about the stories mentioned by the blue prisoner, but he had to act like he knew them. "The story I want you to tell me is different!"

"THEN... WHAT STORY DO YOU WANT TO HEAR, MILORD?"

"Heh, tell me the story about your life." Alex said as his gaze at the blue prisoner went cold.

"THE STORY OF MY LIFE?"

"What, don’t tell me you can’t do it?"

"AH OF COURSE MILORD, I CAN DO IT! I WAS JUST SURPRISED THAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR THAT KIND OF STORY!"

"Are you questioning my decisions now, lowly prisoner?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT MILORD! I WAS JUST SURPRISED!"

"Hmph, you better keep your mouth shut if you are not sure on what so say. Just talk when I needed to you talk! Do you understand that?"

"YES MILORD!

"Ok, so just like what I said earlier, I want you tell me the story about your life. Of course I do not want a f**king full length story! Make is as short as possible! But don’t forget to make it entertaining too!"

"SOMETHING SHORT AND ENTERTANING? I... I CAN DO THAT MILORD!"

"Hmph, you better make sure that you will not lie to me." Alex said as he jammed his thumbs towards Alina and Astria’s direction. "See these two women here? As long as you try to lie, they will see and smell your deceit! So you better be truthful to me, or else..."

What Alex was saying right now was a good threat.

As long as they avoid the chains, Alina’s All-Seeing Eyes and Astria’s nose can detect lies and deceit coming from the blue prisoner.

With these two near him, Alex was confident that the blue prisoner will not be able to lie to him easily, especially now that Alex had told the blue prisoner about what Allina and Astria can do.

"..." After he heard what Alex said, the blue prisoner’s eyes focused on Alina and Astria.

"!!!"

At the instant that he saw Alina and Astria, the blue prisoner let out a despairing wails as he prostrated on the ground again!

This time, the blue prisoner seems to be apologizing on Alina and Astria alone!

"OH GOD! TWO OF THE INHERITORS OF THE ENLIGHTENED EMPRESS ARE HERE TOO! WHY DID I NOT NOTICE IT EARLIER? ARGH PLEASE FORGIVE ME YOU TWO! I SWEAR, I WILL NOT REPEAT WHAT I DID EARLIER!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Um... these inheritors that you are talking about, you are referring to these two women, right?" Alex asked with confusion on his face as he pointed his fingers at Alina and Astria.

"MILORD SAGE! YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST ME ANYMORE! WITH JUST ONE LOOK, I AM SURE THAT THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ARE INHERITORS OF THE ENLIGHTENED EMPRESS!" The blue prisoner shouted out as he stared meekly at Alina and Astria. "THEIR SPECIAL SENSORY ORGANS ARE PROOF OF THAT!"

"Oh, so that is what it is huh..." Alex muttered to himself even though he was still confused with what he just heard.

Alina and Astria are inheritors of the so-called ’Enlightened Empress’, and from the looks of it, Alina’s eyes and Astria’s nose seems to be the evidence for that?

If it were not for the blue prisoner saying these things with a scared look on his eyes, then Alex would have never believed him!

"Alina, is that blue guy saying the truth?" Alex whispered to Alina, who looked somewhat stunned with what she just heard.

"Alex, he is telling the truth, although I am not sure on why he is acting that way to us." Alina replied to Alex warily as she and Astria gave Alex confused looks.

"..." Astria did not say anything, although it was quite obvious on her face that she was affected by what she heard too.

"Heh, I do not know what is happening here, but I am only sure of one thing." Alex replied quickly as they ignored the blue prisoner who was still continuing on spouting his apologies to them. "And that is that all three of us have high statuses now, and that the blue prisoner is respecting us because of it! So as long as we use our current status correctly, we can easily get information from this prisoner!"

"Oh, so that is the reason why you want that prisoner to talk about his life." Alina replied in a whisper as she and Astria went closer to Alex. "You want to make him tell you everything that we don’t know yet about!"

"Exactly." Alex replied as he nodded his head. "Okay, remember what I said earlier. Use our current status properly, and we will emerge victorious from this!"

"Ok!(x2)"

Once they finished that small talk between each other, Alex, Alina, and Astria broke out of their huddle as all of them stared at the blue prisoner.

As he stared at the blue prisoner’s body, which was now shivering from intense fear, Alex could not help but feel some slight pity for him.

"Lowly prisoner, after convening with my lover and her ’friend’, I managed to convince them to spare your life." Alex said in a magnanimous tone, as if he was expecting the blue prisoner to be happy with what he just did. "In return, you must make your life story better!"

"THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCY YOU THREE! I SWEAR I WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST STORY THAT YOU CAN EVER HEAR IN YOUR LIFE!" The blue prisoner shouted out as he seemed to be making a promise with his life! "YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, I PROMISE THAT!"

"Yeah, yeah, just start talking now." Alex said as he waved his hands nonchalantly. "Oh, and can you lower the volume of your voice? Hearing you talk like this irritates me so much!"

"Good, good, that’s enough already." Alex replied.

But before the blue prisoner could start talking, Alex eyes suddenly widened as if he suddenly remembered something important.

Alex then raised his hands, effectively stopping the blue prisoner from talking.

"..."

As the blue prisoner’s attention went focused on him, Alex let out a small laugh as he pointed his fingers at Queen Mother’s direction.

"Hey lowly prisoner, do you recognize who that person was?" Alex said these words nonchalantly while his fingers were still pointed at Queen Mother. "There’s a chance that you could have missed someone important again..."

The blue prisoner, hearing Alex’s prompt, followed Alex’s fingers until his eyes stopped on Queen Mother’s body.

Queen Mother, who seemed to have realized what Alex was thinking, let out a sigh as she unleashed a wave of life force out of her body.

As this refreshing-looking life force revolved around her body, the blue prisoner’s teeth could be heard chattering which was followed by another outburst from him.

"HO-HOW COULD THE DESCENDANT OF THE YGDRASSIL BE HERE TOO? NOO!!! AM I GOING TO BE KILLED RIGHT NOW? HUHUHU.... PLEASE FORGIVE ME TOO!"

"Damn..." That was all that Alex could say as he and Alina stared at Queen Mother’s confused expression. "All three of us actually have some kind of impressive background? Now I understand why the Endless Monarch likes our team!"

"Alex, you did not include Professor Frances on your list..."

"Her? She’s not yet a full member of our team! Besides, she’s someone that the Endless Monarch was irritated to! There’s no way that she will have an impressive background!"

"...."
