Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!-Chapter 219 Reason Behind The Power Of A King[7]

Reason Behind The Power Of A King[7]

[Andrew Dawn POV],

"Darling~"

"Darling~"

Slowly opening my eyes to the sound of a familiar voice, I looked up to see my wife standing in front of me, her eyes filled with concern.

I raised my right hand to hold my wife's hand on my cheek and stroked it for a while before speaking, blinking several times to try to remove the sleepiness from my eyes.

"How are you?" I inquired as my wife gave me a brief deep look before withdrawing her hand and responding.

"I'm fine," she said, adding, "and John is fine as well."

Hearing this, I nodded before asking my wife a few questions, and after we finished talking, she left my side to do her thing.

'I unknowingly fell asleep,' I thought as I recalled what happened after stage one ended.

After being evaluated by the primordial chronicle of my performance during stage one, I was given five free item tickets as a reward, which I didn't use because I decided to use it only when I was aware of what I really needed as there were a lot of items in the store section that appeared after the status update.

After confirming that I could keep the free item ticket for future use, I decided to only use it when I was absolutely certain of what I wanted.

The free item tickets, such as the rainbow orbs, appear to be very important items, and I should not rush to use them. This is particularly true for the former.

I could use the three rainbow orbs in my hand right now to check their contents, but I only wanted to do so when I was ready, calm, and not rushed.

It was entirely up to me.

And the reason I said three was because only five of the seven men who had gathered to kill the mutated cassowary were still alive, and four of them were my men.

So, after distributing the orbs, I was left with three, and since none of my men objected, I had no qualms about claiming the two other orbs that were supposed to be for the two soldiers who died.

Even if they had a problem with it, I was still going to take the two orbs.

In fact, if most of my fellow kings were in my current situation, I'm sure they wouldn't have given the orbs to their men because it could mean making their men stronger than them, which could threaten their position.

I didn't care, but that didn't mean I wouldn't do anything about it because, while I trusted these kids, it was better to act now than be sorry later, so I used the magical contract spell I had obtained from one of the orange orbs we had previously obtained.

The spell's ability was to bind me and another person through a magical contract that could not be broken unless I chose to, so after 'signing' a life and death contract with my men in which they would continue to follow and never betray me until their death, I gave them the orbs with a free mind.

Since it was a high rare grade spell, I wondered if it was powerful enough to truly bind someone to death.

The spell according to the primordial chronicle had something to do with souls, chains, chaining souls and binding them and so on.

That was the first time I had ever performed any kind of magic, and it felt incredible when I finally got to do it.

The free item ticket could wait until later as I didn't really need anything right now. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

Of course, I could use more items to make my life easier, but I would prefer to use it for items that I actually needed.

For one thing, I needed to start using the DMX-456 DOUBLE LASER BARREL SHOTGUN more because my level was soon going to outlevel it, so I needed to use it more before it became useless.

Aside from that, I could use magic to attack directly in the meantime.

Well, I haven't tried to use it since I got it, but I was fortunate enough to obtain a lightning manipulation skill stone from the second orange orb I had on hand, so even though I hadn't tried to manipulate lightning yet, I knew I could do so now if I wanted to, but given that I was in such a close proximity, I didn't want to risk destroying anything or mistakenly killing anyone because I didn't know what would happen if I did release lighting by circulating my mana.

As a result, I'd have to wait until I'm outside to do this.

It's incredible how quickly I'm growing.

Well, I guess my growth is faster than the majority of humans outside.

Ah! I almost forgot I turned it on!

As I was thinking about these things, I realized I still had the High Normal Grade Monster Dispelling Orb activated.

This was the reason my heart felt at ease enough to fall asleep unknowingly.

I took the orb from my pocket and pressed the button on it to turn it off as soon as I remembered this.

I had no idea how the orb worked, but given that no monsters appeared in the hall, the orb must be working, which is all that matters.

And speaking of orbs, I was going to use the rainbow orbs eventually, but only after I settled down, settling down in the sense that everyone in the hall right now, as well as the ones we were still going to encounter outside, could live with because I was certain we couldn't stay in the palace for long for one reason.

Food. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Unfortunately, the palace did not have food to feed everyone in the hall.

This is not because the palace was unable to purchase food in the past, but because the food available before I and everyone else fell unconscious had spoiled and rotten at this point.

After all, it was absurd for a palace to even consider using canned food to cook food in a palace where a reasonable number of high ranking humans resided.

Who would have thought that fresh vegetables would abandon me so quickly, so before everyone remembered hunger, I needed to find a solution?

Emilia, my son, and I had already talked about it.

These events were part of what happened after the status update, but there was something else that was bothering me since I had something on my status that no one else had based on the discussion I'd heard, and that was the title.
