Chapter 9 - Emotions in A Single Moment (1/2)

Elder Teacher Levi and Little Eu continue to discuss and improve the placements and formation plans. Elder Levi always consults Little Eu in regard to these matters.

Even if he hates to admit it, Little Eu has a better understanding regarding complicated spells. He can't help relying on her every time he is in a bind.

Little Eu paused as she changed the subject and asked, ”Anyway, Elder. Can you teach me the wizardry compartment spell? I am currently using the space teleportation spell to keep my stuff, but retrieving them is a hassle...”

The middle-age elder was dumbfounded.

This brilliant girl, who has figured out the most complicated enchantments seeks his guidance for a mere wizardry compartment spell.

His face suddenly brightens as he bursts in a fit of laughter. He was unsure if the girl is serious or merely joking with him to make him feel better.

She stares at him with pursed lips. She can't believe her Elder is laughing at her because she failed to figure out how it works and ended up creating the space teleportation spell.

Meanwhile, he is on the verge of depression, doubting his competence as an elder and as her mentor. After all, she is technically the brains behind all his current achievements.

He felt his heart warms up as he finds himself a grain of gratification. He seems like he wasn't doing enough for this little girl, and it feels like he is exploiting her. After all, she always figures things on her own or creates a more convenient and useful spell every time.

”I am sorry, Little Eu. I really don't mean to laugh. I was just happy.” he explains as he wipes his teary eyes.

He smiles as he prepares himself to teach her, and he rolls his sleeves.

”The basic theory of Wizardry Compartments is the creation of personalized dimensional space…”

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder and the Divine Lord headed to the study to have their discussions. Scrolls about formations and seals scatter around the room. He can assume they are preparing for an attack.

Even with living in isolation, the Oracle Clan is always very cautious.

Simple wild beasts won't penetrate their walls, so he could only assume they are preparing for a much more sinister assault. He somehow can't help himself from worrying about their welfare.

”Please don't mind the mess, my Lord. We are currently fortifying our defenses. You never know when enemies will come knocking in your doorstep.” the Grand Elder started as he offers him a seat. He pours him some tea and continues, ”What do I owe you for this sudden visit?”

”I need to borrow your Token or Clan Badge to gain passage.” Divine Lord said as he continued, ”I have to head over to Celesea.”

”You are informed Lord Gaust is in Celesea?” Elder Enoch inquired as he sips his tea.

He neither confirms or denies his inquiry. Still, it wasn't a surprise that the Elder is known his intention.

”Lord Black Turtle is in the abandoned city of Themis.” Grand Elder puts down his cup as he reached for something inside his sleeve pocket.

Not long, he placed a clear flower shape medallion on the table. It has a unique prism glimmer when placed under the light. It is a unique badge exclusive to Oracle Clan members as proof of identity.

”You are just handling this to me because I asked for it? Aren't you even afraid I'll misuse your clan badge?” he asked at him curiously.

The Grand Elder didn't hesitate to comply. The Divine Lord stares at his clan badge in disbelief. He can't believe he has gained his permission so quickly.

Besides, using this token will quickly give away their location. How can he not refute and deny his request? A thousand questions run to the Divine Lord's mind as he tries to figure out the Elder's intention.

The Elder sighs as he picks up his teacup once again, and he casually responded, ”What's the point of hiding when they already knew where we are? Besides, what can you do with it? You are not even an Oracle. Aside from using it for a free pass, I don't think it matters.”

Grand Elder Enoch observes the Divine Lord's expression as he contemplates on their situation. He knew that the Oracle Clan is being hunted, and their location can't be compromised. Still, he has put his trust in the Divine Lord of Mystic Spirit Realm.

”Be Careful. Lord Gaust is heavily guarded. Shadows are lurking around Themis. They are also using our abandoned array formations against any intruders. I can show you the city map and layout plans if you like.” the Elder said.

”Did you discover who is the perpetrator two hundred years ago?” the Divine Lord curiously inquired.

The Grand Elder shook his head. He doesn't even know who forced them out of Themis or who is currently testing their barriers capabilities.
