Bernard’s words left the alchemists in shock. After all, his words were worth more than gold.
The Demon Seal Alliance sought to kill Jared, but now, Allardland was going to protect him.
The strength of Allardland was in no way inferior to that of the Demon Seal Alliance. It was just that their spheres of influence differed.
Allardland was situated in Epea, occupying vast tracts of land and controlling dozens of cities, while the Demon Seal Alliance had expanded its influence throughout the Ethereal Realm. Their power was everywhere!
Considering the extent of influence, the reach of the Demon Seal Alliance was significantly larger. However, Allardland was an autocracy, with Bernard wielding absolute control and authority.
On the other hand, the Demon Seal Alliance was merely a coalition formed by various forces from different places. When it came to loyalty and unity, the Demon Seal Alliance couldn’t compare to Allardland.
Since both parties had their strengths and weaknesses, they were pretty evenly matched.
The two parties who had no conflict previously now found themselves in direct confrontation due to Jared. The Demon Seal Alliance sought to execute Jared, while Allardland stood in defense of Jared.
Now, anyone contemplating the idea of killing Jared to obtain the hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance would have to think twice.
Many alchemists present who harbored this idea had to suppress their thoughts because they knew they couldn’t afford to provoke Allardland.
They didn’t want to end up dead after earning the hundred-year offering.
Bernard was well aware that many people present were plotting against Jared, which was why favonovel.com made such a statement. The aim was to intimidate everyone present.
Upon hearing Bernard’s words, a sense of relief washed over Wyatt.
He was aware of Jared’s identity, but favonovel.com wouldn’t do anything to favonovel.com just for the sake of the hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance.
However, with so many people present, favonovel.com couldn’t guarantee that others wouldn’t be tempted by the hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance!
Now that Bernard had released his statement, many people would have likely dismissed their ideas.
Having achieved his goal, Bernard gave Jared his address and departed with Cedric. He gave Jared the time to collect the immortal’s bone as per the address.
“His Majesty is indeed magnanimous. With this move, Jared has the entire Allardland backing favonovel.com up.”
“Let’s see who will dare to mess with Jared now…”
“What a stroke of great fortune for favonovel.com to be recognized by His Majesty and to successfully cure Prince Cedric’s illness at such a young age!”
“That means he’s capable. Despite Prince Cedric’s years of seeking medical help, there hasn’t been a cure until today.”
People were engaged in animated discussions about Jared, their conversations filled with nothing but envy.
“Jared, I didn’t realize you are the one the Demon Seal Alliance has been plotting to kill with a hundred-year offering. You must be extraordinary enough to cause the Demon Seal Alliance to make such a decision. I wanted to ask you, what exactly was the cause of Prince Cedric’s Illness? I also tried to investigate his condition, but I was at a loss,” Hartwin said to Jared.
Even if Jared was unwilling to disclose his treatment methods, favonovel.com could at least discuss the cause of Cedric’s Illness.
Jared explained, “Mr. Bellamy, Prince Cedric wasn’t sick at all. His illness was entirely due to Iovesickness. He was deeply in love with a girl, but they couldn’t be together…”
“Moreover, favonovel.com learned that the girl had already passed away. Thus, this longing built up over time, causing his consciousness to become disoriented.”
After pausing for a while, Jared continued, “He is a kind-hearted man and never one to resort to senseless violence. However, the anguish of yearning in his heart had no outlet for expression. And so, overtime, two distinct personalities emerged…”
“One was normal, while the other was wildly aggressive and bloodthirsty, finding release through acts of violence. In other words, there existed another completely different version of himself in his consciousness. He had become frenzied and bloodthirsty, yet that was still him, not the influence of some other demonic soul…”
“The poison pill I made was meant to annihilate the other self residing within Cedric’s sea of consciousness. It was precisely because this other self was eliminated that his internal energy weakened.” Jared gave Hartwin a detail explanation.
