Chapter 1196: Water Lord

”Well, well, well. To think that Miss Anna Stargaze would grace her presence in this humble home.” The Water Lord smirked. ”Should I call you Madam Ardagan now? I have never thought that the person who ʼkilledʼ her own husband in the past would end up marrying that person. I guess you have been working together even before coming to my place.”

When they visited the Silica Valley, it was true that Anna killed him. It was also the start of Noel living while wearing a mask.

There was no way the Water Lord would forget about it.

”Please donʼt tease me.” Anna let out a long sigh. ”I have come here for a different purpose though.”

”The Tower Association, I presume?”

”…” Anna fell silent. Now that she thought about it, the Water Lord was the one who gave the three names that he suspected to be working with the Supreme Devil Organization.

If anyone knew about the serious situation in the tower association, it would be the Water Lord.

”Do you know what happened there?”

”More or less. It seems that people have taken over the Tower Association, and theyʼll probably try to take advantage of the situation to strip me of my power.” The Water Lordʼs expression turned solemn. ”Itʼs better if you warn Noel Ardagan to get ready. Those rune technology he has… itʼs going to be hit hard.

”After all, the rune technology has been staying under the Tower Association. Once itʼs getting hit, they will try to seize it and use it as their own.

”If you think that way, itʼs better to affiliate yourself with the Demon Banner Army, registering it as a weapon. Of course, that also means you have to share your technology with the Demon Banner Army.”

Anna raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Noel had actually thought the same thing. That was why he actually asked Milfa to come to the Ardagan family.

Even though she wasnʼt a commander, Milfa had enough authority to make that decision.

”Well, I donʼt know what he is planning to do, but Iʼll convey your message.” Anna nodded.

”As for the second problem… a demon controlling a human…” The Water Lord stood up. ”Follow me.”

”It seems that you are already aware of the situation.” Anna frowned. ”The Gem Lord has passed away.”

”Jayden?” The Water Lord looked shocked. ”Is his disciple getting targeted?”

”He had been controlled as well as the person who sent him to his death.”

”Had?” The Water Lord contemplated. ”I see. The Tower Association is surely chaotic. I assume Iʼm the first one you visit. Are you planning to visit another person?”

”Yes.”

”Who is it?”

”The Stone Lord and the Magic Lord.”

”I guess those two oldies are fine.” The Water Lord raised two fingers. ”I can talk to them for you. I know the Magic Lord personally, and we both donʼt like people messing with the Tower Association. Itʼs the land of knowledge, not something vile that is used for politics.”

”In that case, Iʼll talk to the Stone Lord. Noel had talked with him quite a bit during an expedition.”

”Sounds good.” The Water Lord continued, ”In that case, itʼs better to see my experiment, the one that your husband helped me in the past.”

Anna frowned, following the Water Lord. Even if the Water Lord was planning to do something, she believed she had the strength to overpower him.

”In the past, I told your husband that water is actually made of a very small particle that no one can see. Thanks to him purifying the water, I have managed to find a breakthrough in my experiment.

”Well, I donʼt think that Iʼll be using this experiment for this, but…” The Water Lord opened his laboratory.

Anna could see a long table on the opposite side of the room with a lot of tubes lining up.

”Those small particles allow me to differentiate the purity of the water.” The Water Lord came to the table. ”Take a look at these four water tubes. All of these contain purified water. The first one will be used as a comparison.

”This is the second one.” He poured oil into the purified water, and unsurprisingly, they didnʼt mix. ”As you can see, they are separated. As for the third tube, why donʼt you pour your spiritual energy into this tube?”

”Hmm?” Anna tilted her head in confusion as the Water Lord put a drop of a blue-colored liquid into the tube and closed the lid.

Although a bit hesitant, Anna still poured some of her spiritual energy into the water.

To her surprise, she noticed that her energy actually moved upward but ended up getting stuck due to the lid.

”What is this?” Anna widened her eyes in shock.

”After confirming that the water is indeed made of small particles that are not visible to the naked eye, I can separate everything other than water, whether itʼs a poison or even energy. That reagent is something I personally make. It can attract spiritual energy.

”By adding such a thing, you could see that the spiritual energy actually moved away from the water.

”And I think you know where this is going…” The Water Lord took a demon crystal from the corner of the table and tossed it after putting a drop of reagent on the fourth tube.

”!!!” Anna widened her eyes. The reagent actually extracted the spiritual energy from the demon crystal. ”Thatʼs…”

The Water Lord smiled.

”Will we be able to differentiate between a normal human and a demonic human?”

”A demonic human? Is that what you call them? Either way, my answer is yes and no. Yes, this experiment will be able to do it, but no, not yet. I havenʼt perfected it yet. I still need a bit of time.

If you can actually capture a person who has turned into a demonic human, it will be much better.”

Anna remembered that Gaston was having such an experiment. If she could infiltrate that place and get the information, it might allow the Water Lord to perfect his craft.

In addition, they had buried the Dark Lord, but looking at how much he had fallen to the point where the Gem Lord didnʼt even want to recognize him anymore. It was clear that they could probably use his corpse for this experiment. Exclusive content at m,v,l,e,mpyr

”I think I can help you with that. Iʼll tell Noel about it and see if he is willing to help or not.”
