Chapter 647: Veritas Magic Tower Steps on Tail 4
“Phew-! God damn!”
After watching the loading work at the pier, Nestar returned back to the pyramid and sighed while drinking a glass of alcohol.
After the death of Albert, he ended up drinking every day.
Arsene had asked for the body to be sent, saying that he would save it, yet, his words didn’t seem that comforting for him.
For a warlock, resurrection meant turning into a Lich.
Moreover, if it wasn’t like turning into a Lich by staying alive, he was going to be revived for the dead, all the consciousness and memories of his life wouldn’t stay intact.
It would be very similar to making a doll which had Albert’s power.
“How preciously I raised him… kuek!”
Arsene and some of the other elders regarded Albert as an incompetent man who couldn’t prevent the fall of the Magic Tower.
However, Nestar didn’t treat him like that.
He thought that one day, the dark magic and its research would be out into the world.
He was planning on taking over the continent before the truth went out, however, things went horribly wrong.
And he couldn’t regard it as Albert’s fault.
In fact, even Arsene’s plans too went out of order once or twice.
“Grandpa, please stop drinking.”
As Nestar picked up a new bottle, the young warlocks next to him nagged.
The warlock, Zehart was Albert’s son, Nestar’s grandson.
He was 5th level in white magic, but considering his young age, he couldn’t be termed as very proficient.
All because he was brought up by giving all kinds of elixirs to improve his magic power and special guidance as the son of Meister.
He was surely gifted with magic, but he had no passion for it.
He was interested in being in a favorable position on the foundations established by his predecessors.
Yet, he was very interested in making money, so he was able to develop a company that was one of the best in the continent in a very short period of time.
“Too much drinking isn’t very good for your health.”
“You’re being noisy. If I die, I’ll just end up turning into a Lich.”
Replied by Nestar while pouring whiskey into his glass.
“By the way, what about the thing I asked you to look into?”
“You mean the assassin who killed my father? We collected all the information which was coming out of the ports from the merchants, however, there didn’t seem to be any favorable results.”
During that incident, there were no ships passing around the Hell islands, and no wooden drifts were said to have picked up around the sea.
“He probably died in the sea while he was fleeing after fighting his father with his strength. Otherwise, the injury ended up turning severe and he turned into a food of the monsters.”
“Huh, well it could be. Your father isn’t the one to die without taking down the enemy.”
When Nestar had a bitter smile on his face, Zehart spoke.
“But I am not sure if it is accurate. If our land had been infiltrated, it means that men have figured out where we are.”
“So?”
As Nestar raised his eyes, Zehart flinched for a moment and continued.
“I remember telling this last time too… it isn’t too late now, so why don’t we check through the Hell Islands and be more cautious?”
“Huh, while we are preparing to leave?!”
Nestar, who yelled at Zehart’s request raised his voice by lowering the glass.
“We are loading all the ships right now, however, now you want to stop the loading and ask our men to hid the rats which might or might not be hiding? If they really are here, it is better to move quickly.”
“But, we might never know…”
“Even then! It is your huge flaw for being so cautious! You need to know how to make bold decisions for your age…”
Kwang!
Nestar was nagging his grandson.
However, his words ended up turning buried by the huge band behind them.
In an instant, Nestar pushed away from the alcohol and jumped over to the window to look at the spot.
“What the hell is going on?”
Bang! Bang! Kwang!
As if waiting for his words, a heavy sound burst again, and this time flame soared over the pier.
