239 A Rewardless Sub-Ques (1/2)

The Larken Clan members saw how the leader of the True Larken Clan died moments after being turned into an extremely ancient man; that weak body was unable to survive to the Soul-search and died just after being soul-searched.

Lashar wanted him to live for some more time and suffer due to that emaciated body, but she also knew the importance of obtaining his memories and a weak body like that could die at any moment, so she understood that Soul-search needed to be used as soon as possible.

Lashar stopped the transmission to the screens and went to the place where Yale was hiding; he hadn't acted openly in that show for the Larken Clan. Although some people would be able to guess that he was who did it; most members of the Larken Clan didn't know about his capability to modify bloodlines.

”Are you alright? You don't have a good face. Has acting against a crippled Sage Rank still been too much for you right now?”

Yale shook his head.

”I just discovered something.”

Yale looked to his updated sub-quest while speaking. That sub-quest was related to the information he had just learned. Yale wasn't sure how the Last Wish System worked or how it chose the sub-quests, but in the special realm and at that moment, the sub-quests didn't seem to have been planned from before. In any case, to plan those sub-quests the level of prediction should have been high to an unbelievable point.

”Stop the plans of the True Empire in Nacesai City. Reward: None. Time limit: 48 hours. Failure: All the people the user know in Nacesai City will die or be enslaved.”

That was the first time that there was no reward for a sub-quest and also the first time that there was a time limit an explanation for the failure to accomplish the quest in that time.

Such information was in the memories of the True Larken Empire's leader. However, the time limit shown by the system was an exception because that wasn't mentioned in those memories. By some reason that Yale didn't know, the system knew very well Yale's time limit to avoid the calamity.

The True Empire had a lot of subdivisions in charge of subduing cities and towns; those subdivisions weren't too strong but had been acting for a lot of time.

The reason for Nacesai City being targeted was Ange, who the True Empire knew that was a member of the Zhan Clan and she was also someone who the True Zhan Clan wanted to get rid of. Ange didn't do anything bad; she was just a daughter that someone the True Zhan Clan loathed.

However, that reason was enough for making the True Empire act against her; their main intention was enslaving her and then manipulate her to kill Yale when they managed to find him. They believed that if Yale heard a message from his sister he would appear and that would be the perfect moment to kill him.

The other members of Nacesai City weren't that important, but they wanted to get rid of them as they weren't part of the True Empire.

There had been a clan that belonged to the True Empire, but it suddenly disappeared six years ago. That clan was Heruk's clan; they had been part of the True Empire since ages ago, and their mission was helping to obtain the full control of Nacesai City by attacking from the inside at the critical moment.

Yale wasn't surprised by that; an evil clan like that fit well in the True Empire even if they were just the lowest type of lackeys. However, that wasn't the only thing that related Nacesai City to the True Empire.

There was an attack to Nacesai City in the past, that was made by a small bandit group belonging to the True Empire; they had heard of an extremely talented healer in the Roanmad Clan and wanted to get rid of her for fear that she would provoke problems when trying to conquer Nacesai City later on.

Even with a traitor clan inside Nacesai City, killing all healers from beforehand was extremely important to reduce the resilience of Nacesai City forces in the battle that would happen when the True Empire started to act against the whole continent.

However, usually the healers were well protected and would be difficult act towards them, but that talented girl didn't have a lot of protection when she went to the clan gathering of the Roanmad Clan.

The result of that killing attempt towards that talented healer ended in a big failure because a kid put in the way of the attack after not being affected by the illusion cast on the Roanmad Clan.

All the important people of the True Empire knew very well about that matter because although it wasn't an important plan, it had been a complete failure and they decided to learn from it to improve their schemes towards the towns and cities.

Even those small schemes should be successful in their eyes; if they don't act it didn't matter, but if they act they must succeed.

Yale knew that story very well because he was the one who almost died to save Ange. He hadn't expected that even that was part of the schemes of the True Empire; it was just a little scheme, but Yale almost lost his life to break it.

”I need to go back to Nacesai City immediately.”

Lashar didn't expect such request; she knew that Yale had been born there, but she also knew that Yale wasn't someone who acted by random emotions.
