Chapter 1248 Prideful Old Man

• Emrys' train of thought continued. Earlier, when I asked him if he was from Mount Kushburn, there was a look of disdain in his eyes that didn't seem feigned. It's a sense of pride that stemmed from deep within him. Since he came in, he treated me with scorn and even acted high and mighty while speaking to me, but that one appeared more like a performance. Based on that, I think he is a proud person who won't pressure others with a haughty attitude under normal circumstances. That's why the arrogance he displayed earlier is likely intentional. It's as if someone has always been an exceptional individual, so their excellence doesn't need to be flaunted deliberately and will naturally shine through without any conscious effort. Yet today, they feel the need to show off deliberately to boast about how excellent they are. The result is that others may be led to believe they are boasting, which will leave a negative impression. That's probably what the old guy was doing earlier. He had successfully portrayed himself as an arrogant figure in front of Franklin and the others, which caused them to dislike him. Though he pulled a contrary thinking, I know for certain there's more to it. He may speak in a way that obfuscates the truth and doesn't play by the book, but my Divine Sight still caught an important detail. Thanks to the evolution of my True Sight into Divine Sight, I gained the ability to notice causality relationships. If not for this ability, I wouldn't have noticed something so incredibly important. My causality relationship with Delia and the others can be scored as a hundred, while my causality relationship with a normal person is twenty. Yet, my causality relationship with that old man was sixty! A whole sixty! There's no way his causality relationship with me is superficial. In fact, it can even be said to be profound. With that as indirect evidence, I have no reason to doubt that he's an alchemist. There's definitely more than meets the eye to him.
• “Mr. Lund, are we really going to auction off these Youth-Preserving Pill?” After reprimanding Lucas, Franklin still felt somewhat uncertain in his heart, so he sought Emrys' opinion. Mr. Lund is so odd today. He's too good-tempered today. I wonder if he genuinely wants to help sell the pills.
• Emrys smiled. “I can't go back on my word. You can spread the news now. Tell them Mr. Emerentius vouches for these Youth-Preserving Pill and that for every Youth-Preserving Pill someone bid on, they'll receive a personally autographed photo from Mr. Emerentius himself.”
