Chapter 473 - Discussion (2/2)
Hutton had always been managing the family’s business well. Although he was in his 20s, the tricks up his sleeves were in fact superior to those of many sly and crafty men.
Sorenson had no one to blame but himself, for he had successfully led Harvey where he was today with an intentional upbringing. Furthermore, all the troubles Harvey had been creating were all situated in Aminya. No matter how serious the matters were, they could always be settled by the Malfa Family easily.
If it was the usual, Sorenson shouldn’t be that unsatisfied with Harvey…
Unfortunately, Hutton handed him a letter today…
This letter was from Doland, and the sender was a young mage with a few followers. According to Hutton, that man was about 20 years old.
Usually, such letters would never get to Sorenson. Yet, it was formally handed to him by his eldest son.
“What do you think?” Sorenson asked in a low voice. He was not in a hurry to give his opinion.
“I feel that this is an opportunity.”
“Huh?” Sorenson asked in shock. “What opportunity?”
“An opportunity for us to get away from the Dark Blade. Although I did not get the relics mentioned by our ancestors when I headed to the Blackstone Mountains this time, I met this guild President. Honestly speaking, Father, he really surprised me. I’m afraid even Mentor Cheyenne would not have the ability to see through President Felic’s abilities…”
“What?” Sorenson asked in wonder. “You mean your grandfather…”
“Yes…” Hutton nodded his head. He had always been addressing Cheyenne as his mentor ever since he started learning magic from him when he was young. The salutation ‘grandfather’ had become foreign to him.
“H-how… How could it be? On the day of the President’s inauguration ceremony, didn’t our people tell us that that President was only 20 years old? Hutton, you cannot be so reckless in your words. Your grandfather is a Legendary-mage—”
“Same for President Felic…”
“Same in what way?” Sorenson paused before starting to breathe faster. “You mean… You mean… Legendary-mage?”
“Yes…” Hutton nodded. “In fact, I witnessed it with my very own eyes. I saw this President Felic progress into a Legendary-mage from an Archmage…”
“This can’t be… It is absolutely impossible. Not to mention the Breezy Plains, I’m certain that there was never a 20 years old Legendary-mage in Anril before. The G.o.d of Mages, Geresco, was only a Magic Shooter when he was 20 years old. How could this Felic…”
“This is the reality…” Hutton rubbed the end of his brows in frustration. In fact, he had expected his father’s response. Who would believe that there would be a Legendary-mage who was only 20 years old? The news was as absurd as a man getting pregnant. Yet, Hutton knew how true everything was. This incredibly young President had broken through to the Legendary-realm before his very own eyes, and had used an impregnable Magical Domain to get rid of the terrible Lord of Darkness of Anril.
Although it had been some time since it happened, to Hutton, every detail was undoubtedly clear.
“Oh, yes. The relics in our ancestor’s will had been acquired by President Felic…”
“What?”
If Sorenson was only in a state of disbelief before this, then this patriarch of the Malfa Family was really petrified now…
Despite not knowing what the several relics in the ancestor’ will were, Sorenson had always believed that they had invincible powers. It was a fact that the ancestor was an existence in the Sanctuary-realm. How could the relics be something that could be described in simple terms?
“The three relics left behind by the G.o.d of Mages, Geresco, were namely the Book of Eternity, the magical crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant, as well as the key to the Sky Castle… Haha, what Geresco gave us was the pathway to become a G.o.d… Unfortunately, I did not have this luck…”
Sorenson could feel his heart being struck by an unknown object every time Hutton mentioned one relic. He was leaning against his chair with a pallid face by the time Hutton told him about these three relics.
Although Sorenson’s potential was limited, and he did not have much achievement in the magical domain, his abilities as a level-15 Archmage and lessons from his father who was a Legendary-mage gave him sufficient knowledge of the significance behind the three relics. That was indeed the path to heaven. Just the Book of Eternity itself was said to be the strongest weapon of Geresco, and had the ability to destroy the world. Compared to the book, the Evil Eye Tyrant’s crystal was scarier. The possession of it could allow any fool to get close to the Legendary-realm. As for the key to the Sky Castle, it was an item that only appeared in the legends of Anril. The seven Sky Castles were what the High Elves used as impregnable fortresses when they ruled over Anril…
And now, the three relics were all in that Felic’s hands…
This means that one should never describe the guild of magic as represented by Felic as simply a new force.
Furthermore, according to the information the family had gathered from all over using their connections, it was a fact that this President Felic was on incredibly good terms with many strong forces. When he was taking over as President, the guest list of the ceremony included not only the shareholder of the Glittergold Trade Union, but also the Archbishop of the Brilliance Shrine and the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine…
“Alright, I understand it now. I will convince the elders of the family…” Sorenson replied solemnly as he placed the letter down slowly. It was as though the letter was not a thin sheet of paper, but a boulder that weighed a thousand kilograms.
