Chapter 538 - The Path She Took 2 (1/2)

While in hurry to leave for Holy Empire, Luke called the Dark Moon Magic Tower late at night.

It was because the matter was related to undead, and he needed support from the warlocks.

-It has been a very long time, Master.

“Nice to see you, Meister Johas. Actually, I wanted to talk about…”

Luke told Johas about what was going on in the Holy Empire.

Hearing the entire story, Johas seemed to have held a serious expression.

-I too heard about the Holy Empire from the monks and priests. Surely, I thought of it to be someone’s job.

“I feel that it was Arsene. Do you have any guesses Meister?”

-I too am suspicious of Arsene. He is the only warlock with the skill set and mind to do something of this huge scale.

“Well, the Holy Empire surely would have been the most annoying aspect for that Lich man’s future. Anyway, I plan to go to Jackson. I will go and find out how this zombie disease is getting transmitted, and how a person is turning into undead and for a possible cure.”

Johas wasn’t aware of why Luke was stepping into that mess.

He had never witnessed it, but he did hear about the rumors that the current pope of the Holy Empire was Princess Reina and the fiancé of Luke.

If the rumors weren’t true, the coronation of Luke where the pope decided to visit surely would have known about Luke using dark magic, and Luke wouldn’t be involved in the affairs of the Holy Empire.

-Since we know Master’s skills, we have nothing to worry about. Even if you did master dark magic, didn’t you always keep away from any matters related to the undead?

“I didn’t keep away from it, I just never used the skills. All that magic and the knowledge about it is still in my head. Surely, that is a very wide area, so I think it might be a bit too much for myself.”

At the words of Luke, who was honest about his lack of information, Johas nodded his head.

-What can we do for you?

“I want you to send warlocks to assist me to Jackson. I wish them to be those who have great awareness of undead, doesn’t matter if their skills are poor.”

-Understood. Ah, now that I think about the undead, the other day, an envoy of fairy representative came and told me this.

Johas told Luke the story he heard from the fairies.

After hearing it, Luke couldn’t help but be lost in thought. As it was related to what he went through.

“It was true that a different kind of undead appeared in the Southern Continent. I witnessed it myself and confirmed that Arsene was behind it.”

-I thought so. Then, he must be developing power on the Southern Continent?

“That is highly likely. Anyway, tell the fairy representatives to come and find me sooner or later. If they want be more active in the world, they need to do something.”

-Understood, Master.

Being done with the magic communication, Luke fell deep in thought.

‘Since the Southern Continent… I haven’t really paid much attention to our relationship with the Zegal clan.’

During that time, the appearance of the undead in the Zegal clan was related to the 3rd crown prince, Jo Won-rak.

As he was the target of the undead in the first place.

Given that, Arsene was more likely to be involved in the royal battle going on in the Song Empire.

‘There shouldn’t be a situation where the Song Empire falls into his hands. Firstly, I need to contact Jo Won-rak.’

The national power of Symphonia Kingdom was limited.

Even then, the Song Empire was the largest nation on the Southern Continent, and it couldn’t be left alone.

That was why Luke decided to entrust the fairies to the Southern Continent.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Luke wanted to run over to the Holy Empire, yet, he couldn’t go there without any preparation.

While suppressing his upset heart, he monitored the Baroque Empire very closely.

“Was the Baroque Empire raided by both the Libiya Kingdom and Volga Republic?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. There is rebellion happening in numerous places, so it doesn’t seem like he would be paying attention to the Symphonia Kingdom any time soon.”

Luke smiled at the report from Belfair.

It was because the situation he had hoped for with the Attack on the North, was finally happening.

“But, in any case, we never know what might happen, so keep an eye on them. If necessary, you can create confusion and cause fighting within the Empire. Don’t let Rudolf have enough time to look at us.”

“Understood. Please leave the matter to me.”
