112 Meeting all the higher ups of the empire

Max continued to communicate with the old man. After Max's good results at the exam the old man got a lot more talkative than before. The name of the old man was Archi and he was the director for the alchemist association for a very long time. He himself was a high level alchemist and the alchemist association thought that he will be enough to be the leader of the association in a level one empire. The old man got a lot of freedom and power. The alchemist association was a big power all over the continent. It existed in all of the empires and it was a neutral force. During big wars it did not help any side and all sides knew not to touch the pavilions of the alchemists as well. Same was for all other associations over the continent.

The old man told Max that if he wanted to take an exam to become alchemical master he needed to head into a level 5 empire at least to be sure there will be someone that could take the exam from him. Level 5 empires had special status. Those empires had at least one high mage. It meant they had a walking mass destruction weapon.

After that Max sold the old man different potions. Max showed him that those potions were a lot more potent than the old man was used to. Archi was very surprised that you could make a potion of such potency. The potions he thought were high level were 32 times less potent then what he got now from Max. He was excited to research them and maybe gain more knowledge about alchemy from his studies. Max smiled when he saw the old man shining like this. Max got a huge amount of crystals and coins from the trade with the old man. He would never sold this to the empire with such good prices.

Max got out of the alchemy association after betting fair well to Archi. Max got a badge from Archi that signified him as an alchemist of the alchemy association and it could protect him to some extent from a lot of different problems that he could encounter. Max wore it on himself without hesitation. He would need all the help he could gather to make those people to calm down and not come after him. At least for a short amount of time. Until he got used to using the supernova skill. It was a rare case when Max was not annoyed by another person. The old man somehow found a common language with Max right from the beginning.

After exiting the alchemy association Max headed to the place where all of the kings of the empire will gather. While he was walking over his mood got worse and worse.

He would finally meet all of the retards of the empire and the empress herself. He was sure shit was going to hit the fan, but he was not sure when all of this will happen.

When Max arrived to the designated location he was led into a spacious hall where few people were already gathered, drinking wine and speaking about different topics. When Max entered the different people saw that he was someone that they did not know and wanted to keep on talking, but when they saw the alchemical badge on his chest they got a lot more excited to chat with Max. The things that he wanted to avoid happened and a lot of kings from different countries tried to speak with him about different topics. When they heard his name and where he came from, a lot of them changed in face and excused themselves because of different reasons to get away from him. Only the low level country leaders stayed to continue to try and make a deal with him about a supply of alchemical pills or potions.

Max felt that the high level leaders of the counties knew something that others did not and it all was connected with him in some way, but Max did not care. He was sure that shit will hit the fan soon any way. There was nothing to do about it. Max tried to create connections to those countries that wanted to ally with him in some way. Gold coins and magic crystals was something you could not get enough from.

From what Max understood there will be the youth competition and only after that there will be the meeting of all the leaders. He was not happy about it. He wanted to finish the meeting and leave. He did not want to see retards swing swords in a way that will make him mad and in the same time will get praised by others. Max was sure that he would get in even more trouble if he would snap at the performance of the young generation. With how old he was now as a person it could happen really easily. It was not a joke. Max did not want to see anything connected to the young generation of a place that he will not be part of in the near future.

After more and more people arrived and the hall was a lot more lively than it was before the empress had arrived. She had an average women with no remarkable features, but she was brimming with mana or at least that what she thought. Fire and lightning currents were going around her. It caused all of the kings of the countries to be excited or to look at her with respect. As for Max, it only caused him to cringe really hard. If he would release his magic powers most of the people here would get hurt just from this and if he would release his killing intent a lot of people would wet their pants or shit themselves for sure. A warrior that was trained for more then 1000 years had his own strong sides. When Max saw that the empress was looking at him he tried to hide his face expression, but from her reaction he understood that he failed miserably in his task. After that the empress talked about how the meeting of the countries will happen and everyone were released to be assembled tomorrow and watch after the younger generation fights. It will last for around a week until the winners of the different competitions will be decided. There will be also challenges from one country to another to get higher in the country ranks. It was needed to have some military powers to get to a higher level as a country, but a strong younger generation could help a country to get a higher level. It was done to make the competition of the younger generation more important to the different countries and not only care about their powerhouses. As for Max. After the meeting he arrived at his room and just went to sleep. He needed a lot of powers to look after all the dog shit that was waiting for him in the near future.
