11 Biological Chamber and Prelude (2/2)

'Day 26 of the third month in year 3892 of the third Magus Empire era.'

'As I was researching at the empire's capital of the downfall of the previous dynasty, I receive a piece of information that in one part of the Euporia Continent, there is an unknown turbulence. So, I decided to come there to do research.'

'Day 5 of the fourth month in year 3892 of the third Magus Empire era.'

'As I reach the Euporia Continent, I decided to set up a Magus tower as my base to do research on the incident that was happening here.'

…. The next part of the diary told his investigation of the mysterious turbulence that wasn't clear on the explanation but then my eye twitch seeing the next part.

'Day 16 of the first month in year 3893 of the third Magus Empire era.'

'What is happening? How… how could this happen..?? The experiment on the object revealed a mystery, that I shouldn't have known!! This is wrong… wrong...'

The diary becoming more and more unclear and the writing becoming worse.

'Day 19 of the first month in year 3893 of the third Magus Empire era.'

'I don't know what's happening anymore… if this is the reason… I should be better not knowing than know the ugly truth… Yeah, let's keep this secret with me in grave...'

Then the diary was cut off.

”What the heck is this? Is it a prank of some kind?” But then I realize that pranking in Magic Language is impossible, as writing a lie is impossible in Magic Language. To begin with, Magic Language could only be written with the spiritual power of a Magus.

As I was indignant with the content of the book, I noticed there is a map inside the back cover of the book. Surprisingly, it was a map resembling the geography of the Xendra's territory.

There was an image of a magus tower or some kind, mark in the north of the intersection of the river. It was a place around 100 kilometers north of the town of Moonmoor.

”interesting, so this is were the map that the gloomy Magus relied upon,” I said in wonder what was waiting for me in there.

But then I became cautious, as there is a weird feeling about this place and the content of the diary.

'Anyway, what I could do for now was to send a reconnaissance unit to check that place out. Then send my force to secure the area.' I thought of my plan firmly while clenching my fist in determination.

”No matter what it's I will face, to gather knowledge and power, I will do anything,” I said in determination.

***

Four days past in the blink of an eye,

An army of five thousand strong were crossing a forest in a domineering manner.

There was a noble playing with his long mustache with a crafty smile that could be seen from inside a luxurious carriage. The carriage was placed in the center of the formation, the safest area in the formation. From the attitude that he shows, he was definitely a shrewd noble.

The army was marching very slowly and very obviously as if doesn't care if anyone were seeing this happening. Then, one of the aides from outside the carriage, riding a horse, come to report to the shrewd noble in a respectful manner,

”Lord, with our current march speed, I'm scared that two days won't be enough to reach the destination. The supply that we bring might be exhausted by the time we reach Xendra's territory.

”No matter, ask the villages we come across for supply, if they refused, raid them, kill the men and capture the women and kids to be sold into slavery, and if there were any good quality 'one' bring them to me.” The shrewd noble smile in lust and desire.

”Yes, Lord, as you commanded.” The aide replied in a servile and fearful manner from the side. Then, continued, ”Also one more thing, Lord.”

”What is it?” The shrewd noble was displeased.

”I don't think attacking another noble's territory openly is a good idea, it will also violate the law of the Kingdom” The aide quickly replied after seeing the Lord was displeased, while also down casting his gaze in fear.

”Hmm… are you questioning my action? That's a warning from me but as I were in a good mood, I will explain the reason to you!” The shrewd noble lifted his eyes the smiled in greed, ”After I get the lost technology and present it to the Kingdom, not only were I not be punished, I will also be rewarded greatly, a title of Marquis is within my grasp.” The shrewd noble replied while clenching his fist in desire.

”Yes, may the grace fall upon you, My Lord.” The aide holds his right hand in his left chest and bowed.

Then, the march continued, without anyone noticing that somethings were observing them from all sides.
