The Golem Mage

162  Meeting between them

Mean while at the patriarch house.

” old man where are you, your grandson has come to ask for a favour ” Alecʼs voice travelled all the way towards the inner hall of the Patriarch house, that it even reached even reached the ears of the Patriarch and his two disciples Draco and Zack were having a serious discussion due to the fact that they have superior hearing due to the enhancements from there cultivation level

The patriarch mouth twitched when he heard Alecʼs voice, he could still remember the brat just borrowed a Metal demonic Beast Crystal from him few days ago and he has not even gotten it back and here was his unfilial grandson again

Coming to demand for something else again, he could already feel an headache coming on just by thinking of how he would deal with him, as all of Alecʼs demands always seems to be more unreasonable from the last.

” I guess this meeting has coming to an end Patriarch I shall take my leave before little brother comes in” Zack said as he was about to escape the room before Alec saw him

But Draco only sneered,

” why the rush Zack last I remember the patriarch has always wanted to adopt you as his son even before Alec was born, though there was no official ritual Done, you are more of a son to the patriarch than me”

” considering my father is the grand elder, so donʼt you think itʼs time you met you nephew” Draco said and Zack face fell

He might be free with Draco and the Patriarch but it still didnʼt change the fact that he was a plain loner and was in no mood to get familiar with Alec which the Patriarch have always branded as a scammer

” now that I think about it, you have not seen little Alec since when he was just a child, are you not being a little too cold here, letʼs go meet that little troublemaker before he steals some of my wine again” the Patriarch quickly made his way toward Alec as he remembered that the last time Alec had visited and he was not around the little twerp had taken the chance to steal some of his wine.

....

Alec watched his grandfather come out with two people by his side he was quick to notice Draco who stood by the left side but the other person at the right seems to give him a little headache as he tried to recall his face

He felt he knew him but everytime he tried to remember him, all that he was faced with is memories clouded in fog, he tried and was not able to remember so he gave up on it it was clear he had an impression of him but it was among the suppressed memories that the old Alec had

Since he can not access the memory it meant he was not strong enough to know the details concerning the person

” greetings to the seventh elder, greetings senior,.... old man I need a favour”

At first Alec had greeted Draco while bowing as he made sure to also cupped his two hands in front of him, as a show of respect towards Draco

And since he could not guess who the other person was he just called him senior since he could stand side by side with the patriarch he was definitely someone important and also he was wearing the clan robe of the Gordons clan which meant that they were a member of the clan even if his own was pure black with brown colour at the edges of the robe

Though Alec realised the huge bloodlust that was being released by the person but he was not moved due to the fact that he has being a battlefield where alot of death has happened before

Where he was also responsible for almost ninety percent of that death rate, which means he also had a certain amount of bloodlust and killing intent though it might not be comparable to Zacks aura as he has killed more than Alec could imagine but at least Alec was not a complete dummy who would be suppressed by the Blood lust that was leaking from Zack who was not even intentionally letting it out

While Alec was checking out Zack, Zack was also doing the same as he was making sure he understand just what made Alec so brave to call the Patriarch an old man

He has followed the Patriarch for the longest time now even before Draco, and the only reason he was still one realm behind him was because of the restrictions on his golem techniques if not he might have become a Tier 6 Mage a long time ago

And all those years of following the Patriarch there was a small taboo that was know by all, calling the Patriarch an old man was the quickest way to death

He had even watched him fight against another Tier 6 Mage while he was still a Tier 6 Mage back then all because the Mage called him an old man after an argument

He had given the Mage a great beating making sure his Golems harassed and punch the Mage face till even he couldnʼt recognise himself again

That was a long time ago and the only person to have gotten Scottfree from calling the Patriarch old man was Draco and that was because he did call the Patriarch old man mostly in his back than to his face

” Alec meet your uncle, his name is Zack and the one I have personally asked to protect you if any unexpected occurrence happens” the patriarch said with a smile

” I thought it was said that the third elder was leading us this time, I have heard of the expenditure list and the people in it, I do have small connections you know ” Alec sneered

” Well yeah I did tell that drunk to watch over you but he ainʼt reliable, even I donʼt trust him, he might end up getting himself drunk in the battle field and forgetting to protect you when the war starts”.

” what about sir Draco, I heard he was going to the participate too ”

Alec asked with a pale face and Zack lips twitched, he was already feeling a great urge to smack this kid who seems to be looking down in him

” Alec I think you are mistaken here, Draco is the only responsible Tier 6 that I am sending to the Blood Moon as for the third elder....”

” It would be good to forget he is coming with you and not even rely on him making a move as he might not even join the fight, he is my brother and I know him best he is only entering the battlefield because of the benefits that was promised to him ”

Alec seems to fall into deep thought after hearing all this. Though Zack was angry at Alecʼs negligence towards his feelings as he tried to get a Tier 6 Mage protector but he was not ready to get into this conversation

” I already know all you are worried about but I think you would be so stupid to understandestimate Zack after all he is the one I tried to adopt”

” what an old man like you tried to adopt him, no wonder you were decline”

The patriarch face blacked but he still kept on talking

” he is the most talented Battle Mage I have ever trained, while Draco was the most talented in mana control but Zack had a more innate battle sense making him

A superior to me and we have not even talked about his unique type of golemʼs and I can assure you as long as he wanted to protect any one not even a peak Tier 6 Mage can kill that person, do you understand how awesome he is now ”.. That Patriarch asked in a threatening tone, it was clear Alec had no read of retreat

ALEC : ”¬”

ʼ I think I fucked up againʼ Alec said in his mind as he saw Zack face not looking so friendly like in the start after all he brought this opon himself.
