BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 Infiltrating The Castle [Part 2]
"So, hmm... why are you trying to infiltrate the castle?" asked the weird man in front of Aiden.
But Aiden didn\'t answer, his mind was still trying to find a way to get out of this dangerous situation.
The man was wearing a lab coat, his hair was in the air as if he hadn\'t taken care of them in days. He was very dirty with dirt all over him. He didn\'t even look strong which was weird considering where Aiden was trying to infiltrate.
\'Maybe I should just kill him. It won\'t do anything bad,\' thought Aiden, thinking that was the best solution.
But before he could act, the man in front of him spoke once again.
"Don\'t worry, I won\'t tell anyone. Even if I told them, they\'d probably think I\'m crazy," said the weird man as he held his head.
\'Is he even telling the truth?\' thought Aiden as he looked at the man who was sweating a lot, it seemed like he was under a lot of stress.
Aiden seeing him act weirdly truly asked himself if he wasn\'t talking to a degenerate.
But he quickly got that out of his mind, the people inside this castle were probably all useful in some type of way, he just needed to figure out what that guy\'s usefulness was.
"So, you won\'t tell anyone about me being here, huh?" asked Aiden using a tone that showed his hostility.
"Yes, don\'t worry not a single soul will hear about it!" said the man, enthusiastically.
Aiden thought about killing him, but he decided otherwise as this was the perfect situation for him to learn more about the generals and the secret creator of those potions.
"Then, if I were to tell you that I came here to kill two of the generals of your army, you still wouldn\'t say anything," said Aiden as he tried to see any type of reaction out of the man.
The only emotion that Aiden could find on the man\'s face was joy.
\'Why the hell is he happy that I told him that?\' thought Aiden, as he looked at the smiling face of the man.
"You don\'t need to worry about me telling anyone about that, ahaha," said the man as he started laughing. "You have no idea how much I hate them."
Hearing this Aiden was very confused, why would this man hate the generals of the army?
\'Shouldn\'t he be on their side?\' thought Aiden not sure if the man he was talking to was ok in his head.
"Why do you hate them?" asked Aiden, wanting to know more.
"Obviously because they don\'t respect me, they just use what I create and then they throw me away," said the man angrily who seemed to have bad memories about them.
"What you create?" asked Aiden not sure he was understanding what the man in front of him was talking about.
"Yes, the potions, the elixirs, you probably heard about it too," said the man nonchalantly.
Hearing the man in front of him mention the potions and the elixirs, Aiden was absolutely shocked.
Why is a man who does such a thing in such bad condition looking at his dirty hair and coat?
"Wait, wait, wait, you\'re the one who created the Elixir," said Aiden as he remembered the earlier conversation between the two generals.
\'If I remember correctly I think his name was Alex.\'
"Yes, I am, hehe," said the man proudly, as he knew that what he had done had revolutionized the Upsilon Empire.
"Then is your name Alex?"
"Indeed it is! Alex, Alex Foster," said Alex who was really one weird character.
"So, hmm, Alex, those elixirs that you produce, do you think I could get two of them?" asked Aiden wanting to get his hands on them.
"You want an Elixir?" asked Alex, not sure if Aiden was being serious.
"Yeah, why is there something wrong with giving me Elixirs?"
"Well, I wouldn\'t mind but all the Elixirs that I produce are for the generals, ahaha," said Alex, as he started to laugh awkwardly.
Hearing this, Aiden didn\'t back down and continued pressing wanting one.
"Then can\'t you create one for me?"
"Create one just for you? Well, I guess I could but the materials needed for it are really hard to get and are given to me by the Emperor himself."
\'Just what are the effects of that Elixir if even the emperor himself is giving the resources needed to him,\' thought Aiden as he started thinking that getting that Elixir was essential.
"What if I can get those materials for you?"
"You?" said Alex, as he gave a quick look to Aiden showing that he wasn\'t sure if he was going to be able to do that.
"Yes. Me. I\'ll do it, don\'t let my appearance fool you, I\'m strong," said Aiden unhappy that a scientist was judging him about that.
"Well, if you say so... Here are the ingredients needed," said Alex as he handed a white sheet with things written on it.
\'What the hell are those?\' thought Aiden he started looking at the list.
"Could the emperor have those somewhere?" asked Aiden as he couldn\'t waste much time on this.
"Well... the emperor probably has those but I mean... he\'s the emperor."
"The emperor, huh? I guess I\'ll have to steal from him, then," said Aiden nonchalantly as if it wasn\'t to be hard at all.
Alex noticed the determination in his eyes and decided to give him a little something that could help Aiden.
"Seeing as you\'re determined, I guess I can help you a little," said Alex as he handed a potion to Aiden.
As Aiden picked it up, an information interface appeared in front of him.
[Invisibility Potion]
[Description: Will make you invisible for one minute. Only your smell and the noise you emit will make you detectable to others.]
\'This is so good. This guy is a literal gold mine with all those inventions,\' thought Aiden, happy that he had found someone that could help him get stronger.
