Rein Schwarz heard Edwin's request and his mouth hung open. He found it too hard to believe it.
"Can you repeat it, I may have misheard you." Rein Schwarz spoke, his voice dripping with excitent.
Edwin didn't find it strange. He spoke with a solemn voice, "Sir Rein, I request you to find clients who wish to have an array constructed or wish for so sort of pills. I don't an to boast but I really can draw many kinds of the 5 Star Arrays and create many kinds of the 5 Star Pills."
There was a brief period of silence after he finished speaking.
During this ti, Rein Schwarz was thinking deeply with a shocked look '…He is Edwin Rhodes. He is currently 19 years old and he can already draw 5 Star Arrays. And even the 5 Star Pills?! Is he lying to ? How can he be such an expert in both these professions?'
His doubts weren't unfounded. There had never been a genius of such caliber in the Sinyalian Kingdom. As the Vice-Head of the rchant Union, he had seen a lot of geniuses and heard of even more of them. But still, this was the first ti he heard of a man who could not only draw 5 Star Arrays but also 5 Star Pills as well.
Edwin knew what thoughts were going on in Rein Schwarz's mind. He spoke with a calm voice, "If you don't believe , you can confirm my words from Sophie."
Once Rein Schwarz heard his words, he recalled Edwin's close relationship with Sophie and his eyes twinkled.
'How could I have forgotten that this is the guy miss Sophie likes. Maybe this is the reason she likes him.' As these thoughts appeared in Rein Schwarz's mind, he cald down significantly.
He imdiately spoke out happily, "How can I doubt your words, Sir Edwin? Since you have spoken, I naturally believe you."
Rein Schwarz's voice was so natural that it didn't seem as if he doubted Edwin for even a second. However, his voice grew serious and he asked Edwin, "What price does Sir Edwin want?"
Edwin thought for a mont before replying, "My price? I am doing this to increase my skills. I don't want anything in return. But I understand that this might put you in a hard spot. So, I will leave the fee to you and take 10% out of it. The materials and the resources must be provided by the party requesting these things though. Is that acceptable?"
Rein Schwarz was shocked to hear Edwin's words.
10% was a really low price. Normally, the alchemists and those proud array masters wouldn't ask for less than 50-60% of the total reward.
"I do have a couple of conditions. The clients must sign a blood contract to not investigate or divulge my true identity to anyone else. And I hope the rchant Union would conceal any information about my true identity as well. I do not wish to draw any attention."
Rein Schwarz asked him with a serious voice, "…If I may ask, why are you doing this? I find it hard to believe that you are rely doing this to increase your skills."
Edwin expected this question from him. He spoke slowly, "I shall tell you the real reason. But not like this. It will be when we et face-to-face."
Although Rein Schwarz was dissatisfied, he understood that Edwin's discomfort to share it on the Voice Transmission Stone.
"When do we et?" Rein Schwarz asked Edwin.
Edwin replied almost imdiately, "Next week, I will co to the capital city."
After those words, the two cut the connection. Around this ti, he heard a loud screech!
This screech was from none other than Zena! Zena had finally digested the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and increased her strength.
Her body had turned even larger. It was now large enough for Edwin to ride on top of her.
Edwin imdiately went to her side. He caressed her cheeks gently and spoke to her, "You are finally awake, Zena."
Zena rubbed her cheeks against Edwin's body and squealed in delight. The last ti she had seen him, the Lightning Tribulation was raining down on him.
She was happy to see he had survived.
"I will create a spiritual connection between us now. Don't resist, alright?" Edwin spoke.
Zena seed to understand his words as she nodded back earnestly.
Edwin soon created a Spiritual Link with Zena. He hadn't created it earlier because she was still too young for the technique he was using on her.
It would have hard her because of her weak spiritual energy. But now that she had reached the 4 Star Rank, her spiritual energy was strong enough for this technique.
This would allow the two to talk spiritually and Azaroth could sense her spirit at all tis. Naturally, Zena could also sense Azaroth's spirit as well.
Once a Spiritual Link was created with Zena, she let out a delighted screech. She flew out of the mansion and began to circle happily in the air.
After so ti though, she suddenly stopped and looked in a particular direction with a puzzled expression.
Now that a Spiritual Link had ford between them, Azaroth could sense her emotions more intimately.
Zena heard Azaroth's voice spiritually 'I am in another Kingdom. The one with you is my clone, that's why he has the sa Spiritual Signature as . If you want to stay with , then co to my location. Make sure to fly as high as you can or else the humans will attack you.'
Zena looked in Edwin's direction and saw him smiling towards her. He nodded his head, indicating that what she had heard was the truth.
She then flew high in the sky and proceeded to move towards Azaroth's location in the Glerian Kingdom.

Around this ti, Shun talked to the king and inford him that he had failed the mission. The demon had fled from his grasps and there were not many tracks that remained behind.
The King was only mildly surprised to find out that Shun had failed his mission. But he soon thought it was quite natural.
He assigned Shun to this mission one month after it occurred. Shun had tried his best but the ti he lost was quite significant. It would have been a miracle if he succeeded.
Shun didn't plan on telling the King about the fact that this Demon was actually a Demon God. Moreover, the fact that Edwin Rhodes was this Demon God.
He had no idea about the motive of this Demon God and what he was scheming. Until he figured that out, they couldn't take any drastic actions against him.
This Demon had reached the level of a Demon God. This Cultivation Level was a legend in the eyes of cultivators from the Sinyalian Kingdom.
Just too much information about it was unknown. If the demon found out that the Kingdom was planning to capture him, he might use his trump card and deal a lot of damage to the Kingdom.
And right now, to find out more about this demon, Shun knew he had to give up. He had to make him relax and allow him to commit a mistake.
After talking with the King, Shun went to deal with the piling issues in the City of Vanta.. He had left the city for quite a long ti so it wasn't strange to have so many issues piling up here.
