Aldas

**Aldas** is a Dark Elf, Potion master, servant of the Lucifer Family, and Chen's friend.

## Profile

### Appearance

Chen initially thought he was an anime fan (动漫发烧友) until he realized his pointed elf ears were not cosplay but actually real.

### Personality

Aldas was a potion master and a standard dark elf at the same time. However, dark elf always remembered other's kindness which was why Aldas chose to accept Sandro's dangerous challenge rather than betraying Shea. In the Master Challenge last time, Chen Rui initially wanted to activate the Super System, so he helped in plotting. Eventually, Chen Rui defeated and killed Sandro so that Aldas was saved from being expelled from the Dark Moon, and he also greatly improved his reputation. For this, the dark elf didn't say much, but it was engraved in his heart.

In terms of pharmaceutics knowledge, the dark elf wasn't stingy like the other masters. He would tell everything he knew, at least it was the case for Chen Rui. Besides, as long as Chen Rui mentioned, he could take any potions directly; Aldas wouldn't say a word.

## Skills

Aldas specializes in Medicine, lightning, and wind magic. His potion lab, Aldas' lab, is located in the outer courtyard of the Lucifer palace.

Aldas was not only a potion master, but he also had great magical talent. Especially in wind magic, he could activate lightning without chanting. If it wasn't his enthusiasm for pharmaceutics, he might have become a wizard that surpassed the lich. However, the dark elf master wasn't a professional in combats after all. If he truly got into a fight, he probably couldn't compete against an ordinary Intermediate Demon.

### History

Aldas had been suffering from cold shoulders heavily due to financial problems which caused him to be heavily in debt. After putting all at stake and failed the master-level exam, he who was broke almost lost faith in life. At his lowest point, Aldas met Princess Royal, Shea. Shea was only sixteen years old at that time, and she had just taken over Dark Moon City. However, she was good at spotting talents, so she provided valuable funds for Aldas. After Aldas became a master, he returned her favor, resolutely refusing the capital city's invitation and staying in Dark Moon City to serve Shea.

Aldas sighed, "A few months ago, I received a letter from Master Zola and Master Kemp from the capital city. In the letter, it persuaded me with huge profits to serve the Regent Obsidian. I rejected resolutely. Today, the Potioneer Association's capital city division suddenly sent a magic summon. A potioneer named Sandro from the capital city officially challenged me. At this moment, two potion masters and Sandro are already on their way to Dark Moon City. They will arrive in two days."

Aldas was Shea's competent assistance. If he was defeated and exiled, the reputation of the Dark Moon Estate and Shea's power would be greatly impaired. Obviously, it was a way for Prince Obsidian to weaken the power of Princess Shea. The capital city was far away from Dark Moon City. Even with the fastest flying tamed-beast, it would take nearly a month. Yet, the magic summon had just reached Aldas, It seemed that the other party was deliberately trying to catch him unprepared.

### Volume 4

Chen Rui changed to Aguile's face and settled these people in the former Mellon Family's old house, which was now the Cloak Gang branch (Cloak Club HQ). Soon after, Aldas arrived hastily after receiving the news.

The dark elf master had been living in the secret basement of the laboratory to study the black potion. Slee sent him three meals a day, and he almost never came out. If it wasn't for the well-known deed of killing the capital's potioneer genius Sandro, many people in Dark Moon would soon forget the top potion master of the estate.

If any Demon Realm potion master knew what was in the dark elf master's laboratory, they would surely be super envious. Others were doing everything possible to produce a grand master grade black potion, but Aldas was trying his best to obtain some realization from the ready-made black potion.

With a full set of real potions as a reference and the focused research during this time, Aldas research had finally made substantial progress. Although it was not yet possible to produce a black potion, he had already risen to become one of the top potion masters. He was only one step away from the highest level. Although he didn't know when he would break through, he was certain that this step was closer than all Demon Realm potion masters.

## Relationships

Aldas was an experiment lunatic. Besides showing the roaring "style" from time to time in the experiment, he was not good at expressing his feelings normally. He was sometimes dark elf-style cunning. Chen Rui was well aware of the stubbornness of this dark elf. The capital repeatedly threatened and lured him, but they could not shake his determination to repay his gratitude to Shea. Similarly, Aldas had always kept in mind Chen Rui's help and gratitude. Every time, he spared no effort to help him in pharmaceutical aspects. Aside from the fact that Chen Rui needed a master potion as a cover-up in order to avoid revealing the grand master potion, Chen Rui basically didn't need Aldas' help very much as he could exchange black potions now. However, he always remembered his kind intention.

### Sister

In a small room arranged by Chen Rui, Aldas met Lisa alone.

The two spent quite a long time in the room, and there were faint crying and scolding sounds. Finally the door opened, and Aldas came out. The expression on his face was very frustrated.

"Master," Chen Rui welcomed him, "Isn't this Lisa your sister?"

"Lisa... is indeed my long lost sister." Aldas smiled bitterly, "It's just that she couldn't forgive me because of my mistakes that year."

It turned out that Aldas's family was quite well-off, but he was extremely obsessed with pharmaceutics. Aldas once learned from a potioneer teacher. Potionology was a very costly occupation, so the teacher's fees were high. Moreover, the teacher's conduct was very poor. He just wanted to use this opportunity to extort Aldas' money. The dark elf who was immersed in learning didn't listen to the persuasion of his father and sister. As a result, the family lost all their fortune and incurred heavy debts. But Aldas still refused to admit his mistake. He didn't even see his father for the last time in the end.

It wasn't until the potioneer squeezed out his last drop of value and ran away that Aldas finally repented. He was too ashamed to meet his old father and his sister who hated him, so he left without bidding farewell. He was determined to become a true potion master.

After a lot of hard work, he became a potion master, but he was still poor and desperate. Finally, he passed the master examination with the help of Royal Princess Shea. When he looked back to find his sister, she already left without a trace. Aldas cited this as the greatest regret in his life.

After hearing Lisa's news, Aldas rushed over without thinking, but he regretted that Lisa had not forgiven him until now. In fact, Lisa had lived a tough life these years. In order to pay off his debts, she suffered a lot. After several twists and turns, she was found by Joseph who had ulterior motives, and she finally ended up in Kanita's secret prison.

"Lisa was right. If it weren't for my stupidity and obsession, she would not suffer so much. And my father..." Aldas clenched his fists and lowered his head in guilt.

"Cost and success are directly proportional at some point. Without your stupidity and obsession previously, you may not be a master today." It was the first time Chen Rui saw the painful expression of the dark elf master. He comforted, "In my view, Lisa still recognises you as her brother in her heart. There is a saying that the deeper the love, the more painful it is. If she is stone-faced and treats you like a passerby, then you should be worried. Give her a little time, and give yourself a little time, she will accept you."

Aldas nodded and said to Chen Rui, "One of my human friends said that I can trust Sir Aguile as much as I trust him. Thanks to the help of Sir Aguile, Lisa was able to come to Dark Moon this time. Aldas expresses his utmost sincerity. If sir has any need in the future, I will definitely try my best to help. Lisa is not willing to go to my place currently, so she will be staying at Cloak Gang for the time being... I'll leave her to sir."

Chen Rui nodded, "My human friend also said that the master's business is his business. Please rest assured that Lisa will be safe here."

Aldas looked at the house, and he seemed a little sad as he left.
