Chapter 15 - Building an Organization (1/2)
As Glaze killed all the survivors who were running away he reached the place where Charlotte went to.
The few talents that old man tried to protect were dead on the ground and the old man's legs were burnt to a crisp with only his upper body remaining bȧrėly alive, as he got closer she said ”Ara, have you taken care of everyone? I have preserved this pig for you to test your Level Drain Skill, why don't you give it a try ?” said she pointing towards the bȧrėly alive man with a smile.
”Thank you Charlotte , let me give this a try” said Glaze with goosebumps seeing a Level 23 Expert in such a state, he took out his Blood River Blade and slashed the blade towards the old man, the river of blood cut the old man's body vertically and split him in two as he died instantly.
*ting*
*You have killed a Level 23 Expert*
*Level Drain Activated*
As the notification ringed the dead body of the old man started to dry up as it disintegrated into a blue light that surrounded glaze and was absorbed by his body.
*You have gained 2 Levels*
*Current Level: 15*
*You have gained 2 Magic Points and 1 Skill Point*
*Your Blood River Blade skill has leveled up, Current Level: 2*
*The river of blood can now affect already dead people and absorb their mana and life force to replenish yours*
”Looks like I leveled up, thanks Charlotte,” said Glaze with a smile looking at his hands
”Fufu, don't worry about it, I said didn't I? I'll level you up in no time” said she as she dusted off her hands
”While I was coming here I overheard the escaping members trying to get to Neverwinter, is there any connection between the Aquilia Family and Neverwinter ?” asked Glaze recounting that trio.
”Hm, there have been some marriages between the Aquilia family and the noble houses of Neverwinter, but Aquilia family is far older than Neverwinter itself so it's hard to believe they would bow to them,” said Charlotte as she rested her chin on her thin fingers.
”Yes , Neverwinter is not very old , they only became so powerful in the past 1000 years, before this they were just a small state in the north, afterward they started to rapidly gain power and started expanding but since they were small the rest of the Kingdoms didn't pay much attention and this negligence cost them a lot.
By the time they realized the potential and power of Neverwinter, it was too late, they had become so powerful that they soon became the Strongest Human Kingdom in terms of military strength” said the Princess in deep thought.
”They could have spied for Neverwinter. If Neverwinter is as powerful as you say then it's not that hard to imagine a Noble Family who is stuck in a position for generations would fall to their side for power” said Glaze as he walked away from the ruins with Charlotte following by his side.
”We need some sort of information gathering network, we can make an organization,” said Glaze as he thought back to the Assassination Magic Book in the system, ”Charlotte, how much money is there in the royal treasury?” asked he.
”100 Billion maybe, somewhere around that. Don't look so shocked, we are a very old Kingdom after all,” said she without even hesitating to share such information, she no longer cared about the Kingdom, the only one she cared about was right beside her.
