Chapter 964 Tia Alstreim's Physique
Edgar Alstreim figured that if Alchemist Davis actually knew about the specialty of his daughter's constitution, then there was no way that he would be able to remain calm! After all, who wouldn't want a potential Mystic Diviner by their side! Especially a female Mystic Diviner whom men could please to their heart's content without getting tired or humiliated because of it. After all, there's a difference between pleasing a woman and man to a man, with the latter being the most disliked.
Edgar Alstreim clenched his teeth in hesitation. Now that it has come to this point, he naturally couldn't back out, but neither could he just let it all out.
To share knowledge and ask for aid or to feign ignorance?
He bet on the former. However, he still needed some kind of assurance.
"At least, say a few words that you will keep this matter to yourself." Edgar Alstreim pursed his lips in anxiousness.
"Will me saying that I will not share this matter to anyone make you rest assured?" Davis raised his one of his blonde brows.
"Of course not but-"
"I swear that I will not harm you or your daughter! If I renege on these words, then the heavens may smite me and make me incapable of cultivation!"
Davis suddenly declared, causing Edgar Alstreim to widen his eyes in abrupt disbelief.
What did the actual heck happen!?
Edgar Alstreim couldn't believe that Alchemist Davis just did a hundred and eighty on him. He frowned, unable to understand this enigmatic character who was intent on provoking him sometimes but possessed no ill intent from what he had seen.
He was utterly confused by this young man's actions.
"What do you want?" He couldn't help but blurt out as he felt that Alchemist Davis possessed a hidden agenda.
Perhaps, this was the reason why Alchemist Davis convinced the Conferred Queen to visit his mansion? He couldn't help but muse in wariness and confusion.
"What I want, you ask?" Davis pursed his lips as he became amused.
"You still don't recognize me?" He couldn't help but ask.
Even with him standing this close, his face out in the open for display, Edgar Alstreim still could not find a semblance of Claire in him? Surely, even if he possessed his father's shapely face, his features still came from his mother, like his blonde hair, shapely nose, and lips.
"..."
Edgar Alstreim frowned as he looked at Alchemist Davis's face in scrutiny. It was indeed true that he felt familiar now, and even in the past when seeing Alchemist Davis's face. Still, he had already checked with all his distant relatives who possessed descendants with similar facial features, but he was unable to find.
No matter how he thought, he still couldn't figure out who Alchemist Davis was as he never even considered his first daughter would have married and gave birth to a child who had already grown into a young man. The thought of it just didn't click in his mind, no matter how he tried to recognize.
In the end, he just shook his head.
Davis inwardly sighed. He knew that if it were Clara who was here instead, then Edgar Alstreim might've quickly realized that she was somehow related to Claire.
"You will eventually know, and at that time, you will regret even doubting my intentions towards you and your daughter." Davis moved his lips with an enigmatic expression on his face.
Inwardly, he lampooned this is what mysterious characters felt like when they try to pose and keep matters in secrecy but also felt that it was such a retarded thing to do. As a straightforward person, he felt like revealing that he was Claire's son at the first meeting but since it was disadvantageous to reveal in the past and even now, he still kept it in wraps.
"Are you saying that you are somehow related to me?" Edgar Alstreim noticed the tone and could only imagine that Alchemist Davis was a descendant of his close blood-related relations who has done nothing to help him in times of need.
He even considered that Alchemist Davis might be his elder brother's, Daniuis Alstreim's son, or grandson but felt that it was unlikely considering that he had already asked such a question to his elder brother and received a denial to disprove his thoughts.
"You can say that, but in any case, are you willing to talk or not? If not, I'll be with Young Mistress then..." Davis took a step forward and was about to walk away.
"Wait!"
Edgar Alstreim clenched his fists and took a deep breath before he let it out with a reluctant expression on his face, "My daughter, Tia Alstreim, possesses a unique constitution that allows her to easily become a Mystic Diviner in the future when compared with other people because she..."
He stopped and looked at Alchemist Davis's reaction.
Davis pursed his lips and simply nodded his head in understanding as he considered the possibility because of the karmic thread wrapping around Tia Alstreim, so he felt that it wasn't strange if she possesses a unique constitution; also known as a physique.
Edgar Alstreim gulped, "She possesses the... Karmic Guardian Physique!"
Davis narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
'So that's what those karma threads that formed a pupa over were doing? They were guarding her!'
He finally connected the dots.
The Karmic Guardian Physique!
Davis had learned about this physique from one of the books in Ethren Empire's Imperial Library. From what is known, the Karmic Guardian Physique caused the host to be able to easily comprehend Karma Laws and be able to resolve the karmic debt between two or more people.
However, it was not like his power where he was able to sever a karmic thread if he so wanted, but the texts mentioned that the host of the Karmic Guardian Physique needs to clear a karmic debt by acting on behalf of the one who owes the karmic debt.
This ability seemed to have been highly sought out by people who want to get rid of their karmic debt so that they could receive more luck and opportunities to grow from the heavens. Although it seemed to be just a belief that Karma decided what kind of fate that one would meet with, ancient texts seem to keep mentioning that one should not take the invisible karmic aura lightly.
It also mentioned that people who carry a tremendous amount of karmic debt tend to die a cruel death, and it might perhaps even affect one's next life!
Davis, who possessed the power to see Karma Threads knew which texts to believe in!
Nevertheless, it wasn't for this ability that the people with Karmic Guardian Physique were highly sought out. It was their ability to be safe from random, invisible karmic attacks, and defend other people from the same. Davis felt that this was the identity of that pupa formed from millions of karmic threads.
It was good as having an invisible barrier protect them from ill will at all times, and be easily able to form a karmic connection with other people. Furthermore, their ability to easily comprehend Karma Laws makes them an extremely potential candidate to become a Mystic Diviner as long as they could comprehend Space Laws and Time Laws.
