Chapter 227: The Grand Chancellor
Jas ended up having to wait almost half an hour before the guard returned and announced that the Grand Chancellor had authorized his entrance.
This person held one of the highest ranks in the palace and acted as the Emperor's right hand, so no one would question his decision.
However, as soon as the main gates were opened and Jas could take a look inside the palace's garden, he spotted a lot of ard guards paying attention to him.
He didn't see that many when he was hovering over the place, so this was a sign of their caution when it ca to foreign visitors.
Regardless, he didn't pay them any mind and glanced at the palace itself. It was truly a majestic structure, and magic had no doubt been heavily used during its construction, given that so of its features would be impossible to build otherwise.
And this was just the part that could be seen from the outside, as Jas was aware of the massive city hidden underground.
He had once visited during his previous life and was very impressed with the dedication that these people had put into creating sothing like this.
The guards did not open their mouths the entire ti, but Jas could occasionally spot so smug smiles on their faces after seeing his reaction.
Once inside, Jas was welcod by an elderly man wearing a set of pure white robes with gold decorations.
With a single glance, one could imdiately tell that this person held a high position in the palace by just looking at the way he carried himself.
"The Chancellor, I presu?" Jas said.
The man made a gesture to the guards, and they took a few steps back away from Jas.
"And you must be Jas Potter… I have to admit that when I was told we were receiving a visit from a Master Alchemist, I expected soone older."
"Sorry to disappoint."
"No, Mister Potter, you did not disappoint at all. Since the mont you crossed our barrier, I could feel the intensity of your magic, and those artifacts that you are carrying on your person. You see… I am also an alchemist myself."
The eyes of the old Chancellor were scanning him constantly, and Jas could feel that he was being carefully analyzed...very ticulously.
'He kinda reminds of Dumbledore.' Jas could not help but make the comparison.
Not just because of their age, but also because this innocent-looking old man was hiding a trendous amount of power underneath.
"Is it true, though?" the Chancellor asked.
Jas raised an eyebrow, wondering what the man was referring to. He had no idea what Lady Rose had told these people, so they would grant him the privilege to visit the palace, as it was usually a forbidden place for any Westerner.
"Are you truly in possession of a Primordial Fla?" the old man asked.
"Are you requesting a demonstration?" Jas asked.
"I don't an to put your ability into question. This is just a simple request from a curious old man. For you see…" The Chancellor rose, palm up, and a gentle green fla appeared on top of it.
For once, Jas looked surprised. "You have the Primordial Jade Spirit Fla."
In the entire world, only five Primordial Flas existed, and only one person at a ti could call upon them. It was just when one user died that another could form a connection with that particular fla.
Jas was aware that this Jade Fla was in the possession of so alchemist in China, but didn't know it was the Grand Chancellor of the Kunlun Palace, as these things were always kept a secret.
The Chancellor smiled. "So you know about it." The fla disappeared.
"Very well." Jas opened his palm, and a mont later, a pure white fla manifested above it.
Everyone present could feel the imnse pressure emanating from the small fla.
The guards were starting to sweat, despite the fact that the fla produced no heat at all.
The old alchemist had his eyes glued to it. "It truly is the Primordial Argent Fla… I never thought I would see it like this in person."
He got slightly closer. "As the manuscript ntioned, it emits no heat at all."
"No. Unless I want it to," Jas said.
If he did, this whole palace would lt.
The Chancellor understood the hidden aning in his words very well and let out a nervous chuckle.
"Thank you for showing sothing so wonderful."
"No problem." Jas dispelled the fla. "I would love it if we could talk about business now."
"Of course. I was told that you were interested in one particular item in the possession of the Emperor," the Chancellor said.
"Yes. Will the Emperor receive ?"
"I trust that you brought sothing to offer in exchange. The Emperor is a very busy person, and I would hate to waste his ti. After all… the item of your interest is extrely precious to him, and he will not easily part with it."
Jas could tell that the Chancellor was trying to be nice to him. After all, if he tried to co here and demand sothing from their ruler without offering anything in return, that would be a grievous offense and could easily escalate to violence.
"I don't think he will be disappointed with my offer," Jas assured the man.
"I surely hope so." The old wizard nodded. "This way, please." He then guided Jas towards another long set of stairs.
Jas had to restrain a groan. 'They really like stairs here…'
He walked right behind the Chancellor while a dozen or so ard guards followed them closely behind.
After moving through several long corridors and climbing three more sets of stairs, the Chancellor stopped before a huge golden door and turned around to look at Jas.
"Mister Potter… whatever you do, try not to offend this person."
