Chapter 146: He Really Didnt Lie (1/2)
Leaving the house,
Rex then said to Adhara and Edward, ”Edward, I need you to do something. I want you to go to Emham Forest, and go to exactly where I tell you”
He tells Edward about the Cluster Domain, he told Edward that it's a secret place.
Hearing this, Edward didn't question Rex because he trusts Rex in anything he does whether it is bad or good.
Rex thought that him going there will be a bad idea, his face is known by many.
Edward on the other hand, he's from Faraday University so surely there are not many people who know about him in this area.
”Adhara, you will go with me to try and find out who we're dealing with here”, Rex said.
From the wooden box content, Rex got one lead.
The powerful spellbooks are for Wind Elementalist, so to find who they're dealing with they need to find the wind element-based family that has many powerful Awakened.
Edward then added, ”If you're searching for Wind-based families, you can just search it on the internet. They're famous, so surely you can run them down”
After saying that, Rex nodded his head.
But when Edward wanted to leave with the box, Rex said, ”Edward, be careful. Watch your six, they might already know we're the thief”
If that guy Kyran said is really got caught by their enemies, then he will surely give out the details about Kyran's posture.
Kyran is wearing an all-black outfit, his face is covered by a black mask leaving only his eyes to see. And assuming that there's an Awakened that is able to trace Kyran, then they will surely be on their tails in a bit.
Edward nodded his head before he put the wooden box in a black bag he brought to put his uniform, he then goes to Emham Forest.
After he left,
Adhara went inside and told Kyran to not leave the house after giving him contact lenses Rex bought from the system, it's too risky for him to roam around.
There are many Awakened with high perception, his eyes will certainly give him away.
So that's why Rex bought two turquoise contact lenses to change Kyran's eyes color, it will at least become an extra layer of caution.
Then, Rex and Adhara went to the university's library.
They both occupy a quiet room and started to do their research, they need to find who they're dealing with quickly.
”There're seven-family candidates that may be the one that owned these spellbooks, it's the Granlor, Atkins, Seaton, Shelford, Reed, and Quentin family”, Rex said.
He saw the rankings online and there's a list of them, these are all families with Wind Element affinities.
Adhara then replied, ”Which one has many powerful Awakened”
Rex looks at the lists,” Based on these lists, the Atkins, Reed, and Granlor have many Awakened above rank seven. It will be between these three”
The Seaton, Reed, and Granlor are rank 9, 11, and 17 respectively.
They are all more powerful than the Platchi's who is ranked number 25, it will be between these three that owned the spellbooks.
”How do we know which one is it?”, Adhara asks with a frown.
Rex is also confused, he didn't know which families have a connection with the Platchi to make them a courier for their valuable spellbooks.
'The Spellbooks seems new, so that means there's a pioneer making behind it', Rex thought.
He then opens the notification when he scans the three spellbooks, he didn't read it all because he's too focused on confirming if it's real or not.
<Supreme Spell: Field of Endless Storm>
A supreme magic spellbook that can only be learned by rank 7 or above Wind Elementalist, it will create a domain of storm that will enhance the caster's stats multiple times. It will also allow the caster to transport around the domain turning the caster's body into wind.
Reading this, Rex frowns because he can't find the maker of the spellbook.
He then told Adhara to call Edward and asks him to see the maker of the book, it's a crucial lead for their research.
”Edward, can you see the pioneer that makes the spell”, Adhara asks on the phone.
Edward answered whisperingly, ”Do you need it now? I'm still on public space”
”Yes, we need it right now”, Adhara replied.
After saying that, Edward can be heard moving to a quieter place before he got back on the phone and said, ”It's...Shane Thompson”
Edward found the maker not in the spellbook, but inside the box.
There's a black paper with the name 'Shane Thompson' on it, he found it weird for a spellbook to not have the pioneer who makes it written in the spellbook.
”There's no maker written in the spellbook, I found the name from a black paper inside the box”, Edward added, he found it weird so he decided to share it.
Hearing this, Adhara immediately hangs up and tells Rex the name.
Rex then searches the internet and found no records of a pioneer called Shane Thompson, he instantly slouches his back helplessly.
'I can't get these kinds of information on the internet', Rex thought.
Adhara also tries to find Shane Thompson to no avail, she can't find them too.
Both of them fall into thought, finding information about someone who can create a powerful spell like this certainly can't be found easily.
Rex massages his forehead with a frown, he can't think of how to find this.
But then, he suddenly remembered something, 'I have no choice, I need to ask help from him', Rex thought.
He then dialed a number before he put the phone on his ears.
Ring...
After ringing for a couple of times, the person on the other side answered, ”Rex, What is it? Do you want to move in right now?”
”Sir Principal, I want to ask you a favor. I'll certainly pay it back”, Rex said convincingly.
But then, the principal intervened, ”What are you talking about, if you have something to say just say it. This old man will certainly hear you”
Hearing that the Principal is welcoming, Rex then said, ”I want to ask you a favor of finding a pioneer called Shane Thompson...”
”Shane Thompson huh”, the principal replied slowly.

Meanwhile, Edward is on the train.
He didn't want to use his car because it can get tracked, that's why he decided to go to Emham Forest by train.
It's not that far, but the train is safer.
Edward is currently wearing a denim jacket with a white T-shirt, his face is covered by a black hat, and there's a black bag in his hand.
