Chapter 133: An Old Man (2/2)
”Are you new here?” at this moment a voice came from the side. Kadyn turned and looked at an old man with white hair standing beside him.
”Ah, yes,” Kadyn exchanged glances with his companions and then replied to the old man — the old man nodded and looked at the statue and asked. ”Are you curious about the statue?”
Before Kadyn could say anything the old man went on. ”He is the pride of Acton. His name 'is' Morwag. He was able to build the magic rune and become a Spell Caster at the tender age of fifteen.” He sounded quite proud when he talked about the statue. But then sighed sorrowfully. ”After becoming a spell caster he went to the capital to enter the army of the empire, and without problem, he was selected.
”The empire supported him — as he was worth nurturing — and at the age of seventeen, he reached the Fusion Rank(Rank 2 mage). However in the war against the Bone Spear Tower, he died, but in that war he performed remarkably, killing hundreds of students of the Bone Spear Tower all by himself. He is our pride.” He puffed his chest out when he recounted the glorious deeds of their hero.
”Ah, well, that's… umm pretty good,” Kadyn said while scratching his head, and then asked. ”What is this Bone Spear Tower you talked about just now?”
”You don't know about them?” the old man examined him and his companions and frowned, then went on. ”Are you from somewhere else?”
”Yeah, we have come from afar,” Kadyn replied.
”Oh, so that's why,” the old man nodded. He seemed rather tactful and didn't inquire further about his details and explained. ”The Bone Spear Tower is an evil organization. They practice Dark Magic similar to necromancy. They devour blood and soul and mana of others to advance their ranks.”
Kadyn's eyes went wide as soon as he heard. He looked at his companions and a light flashed inside their eyes — the old man didn't notice the shock on Kadyn and his companions' faces and continued to vent his anger and frustration ”Those bastards aren't human, but animals. They don't care about anyone other than themselves. However they are as powerful as the empire, so they are pretty hard to deal with.”
The man was staring at the statue this whole time and clenched his fist as his eyes became somewhat wet. ”If I had the strength I would have slaughtered every single one of them. Every single one of them!” he gritted his teeth as his body trembled in rage.
”So do you have any relationship with Morwag?” Kadyn asked when he saw the wet eyes and trembling body of the old man. One could easily tell that he had a deep relationship with the boy in the statue, or he would not act the way he was doing, no matter how great a hero that boy in the statue was. And indeed he guessed correctly.
The old man eyed Kadyn and took a deep breath before replying. ”He is my grandson,” when he said the last word he puffed his chest proudly. He wasn't showing off, but the feeling came from deep inside him.
