673 Temporarily Away (1/2)

Whoosh!

Accompanying the jade-green flames in the fireplace, the corvus sculpture on top chirped suddenly, ”Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp!”

Its sound was hoarse and husky, with a feeling of inauspiciousness.

”Coming!”

Jemc had a black gown draped over him as he immediately moved forward. He took down the wax cylinder that had been sent through the flames from the bird's claws.

”This is an urgent document from the Stan Duchy.”

He took a glance before leaving the room with the documents in the long cylinder.

From what could be seen, it was a giant building that was like an ant nest. Large amounts of people draped in black gowns were going in and out of the cave like they were working ants.

”Sir!”

Jemc increased his walking pace and arrived at a large, black door before knocking on it lightly.

”Come in.”

After getting the permission of the owner inside, he opened the door slowly and looked respectfully at the old man sitting on the main seat. ”The latest news from the Stan Duchy.”

With his qualifications, he could not even touch the magic fire paint on the sealed cylinder. He could only send the long cylinder over.

The old man with a snow-white beard opened the long cylinder, looked at the message inside, and said, ”It's news about that youngster… Oh, he should be called Sir Luhn now.”

”Even if he is a noble, he still shouldn't treat the people of our secret agency that way.” Thinking about the widespread news from before, Jemc clenched his fists uncontrollably. ”He actually eliminated our detachment and turned them into robbers… This behavior must be punished!”

”Be mindful of your words, Jemc!”

At this time, the eyes of the old man turned extremely sharp.

”Sorry, Sir. I am only…”

Jemc retreated a step, suddenly understanding the jealousy in his heart.

Even though he was a deacon of the secret agency, he needed to live carefully in concealment.

Why should that youth be able to live freely under the sun, even becoming a noble?

That jealousy and unwillingness transformed into a poisonous snake, making him want to destroy everything the other had.

”I understand. You can leave.”

Unfortunately, the old man did not give him the chance and waved his hand.

Jemc moved his mouth, but did not say anything. He bowed before dismissing himself.

”Luhn…”

The old man of the secret agency looked at the latest information and frowned. ”He inherited the Death Hands' legacy?”

The former Legend Knight Group of the Stan Duchy was a renowned existence on the continent. Each of them had set up a large family and produced many descendants. Through large amounts of arranged marriages, they had also gained connections with all the nobles in the Stan Duchy.

Before this matter happened, none of them knew that the small family of Knight Jorah were safekeeping such a shocking secret.

”However, to be able to experience the Legend's test, his soul should have no problem…”

The old man collected the documents slowly and started to file them. ”Anyway, this type of inheritor will definitely meet many obstacles and tests. I just need to continue observing him…”

In fact, he was pessimistic about the other's future.

His foundation was polluted by a Legend. This meant that, in the future, he could never be supreme and would only be used as a disposable combat force..

The ending of such people were normally unfavorable.

”When that time comes, our scores will be settled. No one can provoke the secret agency!”

A ray of coldness flashed through the old man's pupils.

Even he could not bear to watch Luhn's actions.

…

At the same time, within the Stan Duchy.

With the benefit of magic, Grand Duke Stan received the news almost at the same time as Baron Shawshank.

The current Grand Duke Stan was 67 years old. If he was placed in an ordinary world, he was thoroughly at an advanced age. However, due to being an Extraordinary, he only looked like he was at most 50 years old and was full of energy.

”Seems like… we can add another high-level professional military power to our camp. Needless to say, the reputation of the Legend Knight Group also has the power to garner supporters.”

At the moment, Grand Duke Stan smiled in ease as he looked at the information on hand.

”However, should we consider the views of the other few families?” At this time, someone beside him that looked like his advisor said, ”Especially Earl Floren's family. They'd always bragged that they were Glendon's legitimate heir. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for them to accept…”

”Yes, even I was shocked when I first received the news. After all, the inheritance of Glendon was not in the hands of the Floren Family, but at a collateral branch.”
