Might of Alchemists (Part 2)

When I conquer the entire mainland and have all the first dynasty ruins excavated and studied, won't we be one-hundred times more powerful than Alchemy City?" Grand Duke Iron Blood told Belivare with a different look after seeing Belivare had submitted to his words.

The grand duke's eyes turned from bloodshot red to blue, and his demeanor mellowed considerably. Only then did Belivare truly relax. He was truly loyal to the grand duke, and that was not because the hulking giant of a man was of a bloodline his family served for four generations; he was loyal to the grand duke because the grand duke was a truly exceptional person.
