I'm not just human!

"What a coincidence! Look, that guy is Alexander."

Avalon pointed, and Marshal Gaius and Prince Justinian both turned to look at it with great interest.

Almost immediately, Alexander saw Shafa and perked up.

"Big brother!"

Everyone was stunned by Alexander's shout.

big brother?

Who is this person calling?

Or rather, who is qualified to be the elder brother of Alexander, the young master of the School of Machines?

Chapter 236 How did you know I'm the future Emperor of Mystery? The Whale Watching Festival officially begins!

Marshal Gaius's gaze first swept over the group of people on his side.

Nephew Justinian?

Unlike Justinian, who might not have been happy to acknowledge Alexander as his elder brother.

Avalon?

It's even more impossible; Avalon and Alexander are old rivals, and it's impossible for Avalon to back down to the other.

As for Glenn and Cardan?

It seems like they're not even remotely related...

Or rather, only the two of them had ever heard of Alexander, and Alexander probably didn't even know who they were.

As for Xiafa...

Marshal Gaius was about to make a similar inference, but it was too late.

Alexander, dragging a pair of exaggeratedly large mechanical arms, ran over in a few steps and immediately put his arm around Shafa's shoulder affectionately.

"Brother, what a coincidence! I was just talking to my teacher about you. Come, come, let me introduce you to my teacher!"

This highly respected young master of the Myriad Machines School, amidst the astonished and surprised gazes of Gaius and the others, with a fawning expression, put his arm around Xia Fa and walked toward the white-bearded old man.

Glenn rubbed his eyes violently, wondering if he had seen wrong.

But upon closer inspection, Alexander, whose name was widely known on the planet Calig and whose status was countless times higher than that of Prince Justinian, was actually... chatting and laughing with Shafa in a rather ingratiating manner!

Cardan stared at this scene in disbelief, suddenly realizing that his understanding of Shafa was far from sufficient...

As for Marshal Gaius, Prince Justinian, and Avalon, after a brief moment of astonishment, different expressions appeared on their faces.

Marshal Gaius was quite surprised and pleased.

Prince Justinian found it hard to believe, and at the same time, a sense of inferiority rose uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.

As for Avalon, a thoughtful look appeared in his innocent, lake-blue eyes, as if he had already realized something.

With their backs to the crowd, Xia Fa and Alexander couldn't see their gazes. At that moment, he was being warmly embraced by Alexander and brought to the white-bearded old man.

That was none other than Alexander's teacher, the Chancellor of the School of Machines, the renowned and extraordinary monarch of the Forge of All Things, Arthur de Massinari!

The Royal Masinari Academy of the Kingdom of Augu, the same academy where Avalon and Daponz both studied, is said to be named after Him, purely out of worship and reverence.

Strangely, although the student Alexander was pursuing a path of mechanical modification, his teacher Arthur looked like an ordinary old man, without even a single obvious mechanical modification on his body.

"Teacher, this is my older brother! What do you think? He didn't disappoint you, did he?"

Alexander excitedly spoke to Arthur. Although he was Arthur's student, he didn't seem afraid of his teacher at all; on the contrary, he was quite close to him.

Arthur wore a star-blue robe covered with various mechanical design drawings and magical equations. However, his white beard, which almost reached his chest, was far more eye-catching, as it was adorned with numerous gears, bearings, and other mechanical parts.

Arthur was all smiles, looking quite kind.

“Xia Fa, hello. My student is usually quite unruly. I’m sorry to trouble you to take care of him at sea these days.”

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that this important figure, who was practically at the top of Caligi, would be so approachable.

So he smiled rather politely:

"I wouldn't say we took care of each other, but we helped each other out. Alexander helped me a lot too."

Arthur smiled kindly and nodded slightly, but then suddenly leaned down and whispered something in Shafa's ear:

“Patriarch Osius is my teacher. He told me about your situation yesterday and instructed me to protect you at the whale watching festival if necessary… Your Highness the future Mysterious Emperor.”

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, not even that silly Alexander."

As a veteran extraordinary monarch, Arthur had signed at least twenty secret contracts. When he had a private conversation with Shafa, no one else could hear a thing.

Xia Fa's pupils contracted slightly, and he was quite surprised.

He had thought that since he didn't even appear to be a demigod, even though he was a signatory to the Silver Throne, he had suddenly become the elder brother of Alexander, the young master of the Myriad Machines School, and would inevitably suffer various interrogations and contempt from Arthur, the Speaker of the Myriad Machines School.

Then, he would find another opportunity to reveal his identity as the future Emperor of Secrets, making Arthur deeply regret his actions.

But little did he know that Arthur already knew about his identity as the future Emperor of Secrets. No wonder he was so kind.

Of course, on the other hand, it's probably also because everyone is from the Silver Church. At least for now, since he hasn't made it clear whether he wants to join another church, Patriarch Osius will definitely take good care of him. One way he can do this is by asking his student for help.

"Even the Emperor of Mystery is in this state. What if one day they find out that I am actually the Holy Spirit of Destiny who signed three overlord-level secret contracts..."

Xia Fa thought to himself with amusement, but he also understood that before he could figure out the truth about the Nine Great Gods, it was best not to easily reveal his identity as the future Holy Spirit of Destiny.

The two Celestial Spirits, one who lost control and ran into the Celestial Spirit Realm, and the other who simply hid themselves, are the best examples.

Moreover, both of those Heavenly Saints were beings who had signed thirty secret contracts each...

Composing himself and without giving it much thought, Xia Fa looked at Arthur again and smiled:

"Then I thank you in advance, if that moment ever comes."

Arthur smiled:

"Sure, sure, hahaha."

At that moment, Xia Fa was unaware that everyone outside the Emperor's Suite not far behind him was stunned.

Marshal Gaius was deeply shaken and even began to doubt what he had seen with his own eyes.

what's the situation?

Legend has it that the chairman of the Myriad Machines School was not dignified, solemn, and never smiled.

After all, if they didn't do it this way, they wouldn't be able to control those mechanical geniuses and freaks from the Myriad Machines School who always liked to have wild ideas.

But why did He act like a kind old grandfather when facing Xia Fa?

Even if Marshal Gaius knew that Shafa was a signatory to the Silver Throne, it didn't have to be like this. After all, Shafa was still weak, not even a demigod, and hadn't fully grown up yet.

Avalon was even more astonished. Just a few years ago, when Arthur visited Alexander in the Earthly Kingdom of the Silver Universe, Avalon had consulted this veteran transcendent monarch who had signed the Forge of All Things about how to improve the magical circuitry of the mobile armor.

Arthur did indeed teach Him, and he didn't hold back much, but he was a million times stricter than the strictest teacher Avalon had ever encountered, so much so that Avalon still has a considerable shadow in his heart.

But why was Arthur so kind to Shaphat?

As for Prince Justinian, Cardan, and Glenn, they were extremely astonished, especially when they saw Arthur leaning down and whispering to Shafa.

Glenn stared blankly at Xia Fa's retreating figure, muttering to himself:

“Uncle Cardan, I’m starting to suspect that you knew all along that Shafa was no ordinary person, which is why you were willing to call him ‘godfather’…”

Cardan rolled his eyes at him, opened his mouth silently, but couldn't say anything.

Just then, Xia Fa returned alone.

Because it's not yet 10 a.m., Arthur is taking Alexander to visit some old friends who are attending the whale watching event and to reconnect with them.

Xia Fa was naturally too lazy to go, so after politely declining, they agreed to meet at the whale watching event.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Fa walked in front of the group, Prince Justinian and others swarmed around him, looking quite excited.

"Shafa, what's going on with you? How could someone as arrogant as Alexander willingly acknowledge you as his elder brother?"

"Yes, in front of you, he's practically like a real little brother!"

"My God, Xia Fa, you wouldn't happen to be Arthur's illegitimate son, would you?"

Xia Fa chuckled slightly:

"No, well, we'll talk about the details on the way."

Amidst the surprised, envious, and curious gazes of Glenn and the others, the group took the elevator of the Lushuri Hotel and descended into the lobby.

Among them, Glenn, Cardan, and Marshal Gaius all knew the identity of the signatory to the Silver Throne of Shafa.

Therefore, in the elevator, Xia Fa had already decided that he would simply tell Prince Justinian and Avalon about signing the Silver Throne while they were walking down the street.

As for the rest, whether it's the identity of the future Mysterious Emperor or the future Holy Spirit of Destiny, it's impossible to say now; we'll have to wait until later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the hall, Avalon became nervous and reached out to stop everyone.

"Shh, you all, look! Those are Tefaro and Kazimir! In the Earthly Kingdom of the [Silver Universe], they are two geniuses who can rank among the top five of our generation!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the front desk in the hall and continued:

"These two not only signed a supreme-level secret contract, but they also mastered a divine battle technique!"

Divine combat tactics?!

Marshal Gaius was startled, and Prince Justinian could hardly believe what he had just heard.

As for Kaldan and Glenn, they were completely bewildered, seemingly having never heard of such an extremely high-level esoteric concept as "divine combat tactics."

"I should have guessed it sooner. No wonder Tefaro, an angel, could fight against a transcendent monarch. It turns out he has mastered a divine battle technique..."

A deep sense of envy welled up in Prince Justinian's dark eyes, which held a hint of blue.

Marshal Gaius then turned to Prince Justinian, who was not his biological nephew but was closer to him than a nephew, and said solemnly:

"That's why I'm telling you to work harder. These top-tier angel-level overlords weren't born with divine combat techniques. It takes talent plus hard work to reach that moment when things naturally fall into place."

Prince Justinian now truly agreed, and his tone became resolute:

“Okay, Uncle Gaius, after this whale watching event is over, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and never relax for a moment.”

Glenn then turned to Avalon with curiosity and said:
