Chapter 225 Kelat Auction House (8) (1/2)
Team: HH, thursdays, Yahiko
“Your Majesty!”
“What…..!”
The Summer Queen’s scream spread throughout all of the Red Dragon’s territory.
People who had been waiting outside frantically burst the door open. It was somewhere they normally weren’t allowed to enter without permission, but now wasn’t the time to think about rules.
There was a horrifying sight waiting for them inside.
A crack was appearing on the Summer Queen’s body. Like porcelain breaking into pieces. Like dehydrated soil during a drought. The cracks were spreading like spider webs, and blood was pouring out from them.
Her bright silver hair was turning into a dead black.
They moved urgently upon seeing her look as if she would explode any second.

With the quick response of the highest officials within Red Dragon, they were able to stop any rumors from getting out.
But all of the 81 Eyes who were at the headquarters were tense.
The Summer Queen wasn’t just the leader of the clan.
She was the Red Dragon, and the Red Dragon was her.
The reason why the Tower was so afraid of the Red Dragon was because the Summer Queen ruled over them, and the reason that the Red Dragon’s players were so strong was because the Summer Queen shared her power with them.
The 81 Eyes could basically be called her apostles.
They borrowed all kinds of powers from her, and their past was passed down from her.
But what if something was wrong with the Summer Queen?
The 81 Eyes and the clan itself would collapse. It was the same thing as their lives being destroyed as well.
They needed to stop that from happening.

Tom and Troy, the people who had brought the tablet, were even more rushed.
“It’s Devil Poison!”
“Nonsense!”
Trop clenched his fist looking at Tom’s devastated face. Anger escaped his gritted teeth.
Devil Poison.
If there was something that could hurt the great Draconic species, it was Devil Poison.
“We quickly put out the fire with the help of the visiting priests. But that’s just a temporary solution. The antidote…..”
Troy swallowed the rest of his words. Tom didn’t ask for anymore, either. It was obvious what he was going to say.
There was no way Devil Poison could be treated that easily. Furthermore, the Summer Queen wasn’t able to rest because of her nightmares. She couldn’t heal herself.
Things would only get worse.

Tom felt like his head would explode, but he had to do something. He was worried not only about being ripped to shreds by his brothers, who were his competitors, but that the clan itself would be destroyed.
“What about the owner of the tablet? Have you found the seller?”
Troy shook his head. They had searched through the records, prepared to stand against the Bureau, but there wasn’t anything left behind. They had searched for eyewitnesses, but everyone said they didn’t remember.
“It was someone who planned it from the start.”
“That’s correct.”
Tom ground his teeth.
It was unbelievable the more he thought about it. Someone had dared to play this trick on the Red Dragon? And the enemy had known that the Summer Queen needed the Philosopher’s Stone. It wasn’t a simple case of terrorism. To be exact, an attack pointed directly at the Summer Queen. It meant that a powerful group must have planned this.
Who was it? The Elohim? The Blood Land? The Sea of Time? The remaining people from Cheonghwado? Or the escaped Sword God?
Whoever it was, at least one thing was certain.
They wouldn’t be able to run away from them. The Red Dragon would chase them to the ends of the world and destroy everything related to them.

They had turned the Bureau, the Magic Tower, and the Blood Land, who had been protecting the magnate, into their enemies.
But Tom didn’t seem to care. His head was filled with the Summer Queen’s survival and the destruction of the enemy.
“Then…..what about how the tablet was found? If someone targeted us, wouldn’t they have left some traces behind?”
Troy nodded his heat, and pulled out some papers.
“Do you remember the Faust Historic Site from 6 years ago?”
“Faust? Wasn’t the place ruled a fake?”
Faust. Almost no one remembered him as it had been a long time ago, but he, the ‘Despiser of Light.’ was someone who had stood as an equal to the Summer Queen. Today, he could be compared to the Martial King.
The reason why he was famous was that although he wasn’t affiliated anywhere, he was the only contractee of the demon Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles was a collector of all kinds of knowledge, and Faust had recorded achievements in history with his influence.
However, the problem was that his accomplishments weren’t well-known to the world. He never had any friends or comrades with him.

So when Faust’s old research lab was discovered, the Tower was shaken.
But the attention soon faded. Unlike the grandiose rumors, there were only strange things left in the lab. It had been the dungeon of a good-for-nothing magician.
“I also thought that was the case until now. However, it seems like it wasn’t.”
“What happened next?”
“After that commotion, Cheonghwado and Walpurgisnacht inspected the site together 1 year later. At the time, the person in charge of Cheonghwado was Leonte.”
Tom’s eyes flashed. Leonte. He was the person who had been creating the stone.
“And?”
Troy nodded with a crumpled face.
“We don’t know for sure what was discovered there, but after Leonte and Walpurgisnacht entered the site, there are witnesses who say that they had something like a stone monument. Wouldn’t that have something to do with this?”
Tom clenched his fist. Blue veins popped up on his knuckles. Leonte was dead now. Then, there was only one suspect. Walpurgisnacht.

He didn’t know why a bunch of witches had targeted the Summer Queen. The witches might not have anything to do with this, since what they found at the site might not have been related to the tablet.
However, it was clear that they had done something suspicious with Leonte, and the Red Dragon had caught onto this.
If there was anything suspicious, anything that the witches might’ve done wrong, all their questions would be answered if they just stormed them.
And even if Walpurgisnacht wasn’t the actual villain, they would be able to find the actual people behind it soon. It was important to follow the trail.
“So those bitches dared to do something this horrible, hm?”
Crunch!
Tom ground his teeth and turned to look at Troy. Troy nodded.
The Red Dragon would have to anticipate bloodshed if they were to fight against the Walpurgisnacht, but they couldn’t weigh the pros and cons right now. Even if they fought against the Tower itself, they had to quickly find the wrongdoer and find a cure for the Summer Queen.

Yeon-woo looked at Marquis Caliburn. He was a fierce-looking middle-aged man, just as the diary stated.

The swords that the Gluttony Emperor treasures the most were the 4 Dukes and 8 Marquises.
Marquis Caliburn was one of the strongest of them, a high ranker with extraordinary abilities.
