Chapter 166: Troubles Keep Coming (1/2)
[Chronos Magic Academy]
It's already afternoon and Daoma, Oliver and Alice were having their lunch
Suddenly all three of them turned their head towards the northern direction. Particularly Daoma's magic senses were picking up familiar magic signals. His eyes widened in astonishment.
He couldn't believe his senses.
'It cannot be that guy Zebel. He...he is still alive. Yes, I am completely sure, this magic is part of his Divine art, Heaven's Bliss. That wide range Rank Eleven magic'
Daoma was in deep thought and forgot to breathe for a moment. A wide smile appeared on his face.
Oliver and Alice noticed the change in his expression.
”Sir Daoma, do you know anything about the source of that immense magic power?”
Oliver didn't believe that any magic-user in the continent can possess such an enormous amount of magic and cast a spell of such kind which can be felt from thousands of kilometers away.
He thinks that the only person who can answer this question is Daoma sitting next to him.
Alice was also interested, she put down her spoon for a moment and stopped eating.
Seeing their curious expression, Daoma's grin became even wider.
”Let's finish eating our dinner first. After we meet that guy behind the vast amount of magic power, I will tell you a long story about the dark ages of magic user world”
Hearing that Alice was displeased, but Daoma did not pay any attention to her and continued eating his food. Oliver also didn't say anything and started eating his food.
From what he knows about Daoma personality, if Daoma had said he would tell, he will someday definitely tell them. The question is when.
They weren't the only ones who felt the enormous magical power, all magic-users of Magic Champion stage or higher could feel it.
[Chaos Empire, Imperial Palace]
Emperor Harold was sitting on his throne when he noticed an unusually large amount of magical power, and could not help but look northward with a serious expression.
During these days he has already witnessed many unusual phenomena, nevertheless, he was curious.
'Is Kai behind this again?'
From the moment he spoke to Kai, he already knew that most of the phenomena were some way or another all related to him.
That phenomenon on the day of the blood moon, the golden sky, the appearance of mysterious chains of golden and silver colors, all of it was related to him. Even behind the death of Arbus was his teacher.
Thinking about all the troubles that Kai had brought, but on the other hand, he put him back in reality, letting him know about corrupted nobles. He had been going easy on them for the past years.
Therefore, as soon as he returned, he organized an investigation team to uncover all the evil crimes committed by the Duke of Santon and the Duke of Dragos behind his back, as well as people associated with their families. To his surprise, he learned about the crimes of the grandson of Duke Dragos, whom he planned to make his son-in-law and the future right-hand man of Froleytia.
'It was a blessing to meet Kai or I would have been living in my own dreams'
He looked at the report of the investigation team and the evidence they have verified. Even so, there was a lot left to be checked as well as the shady work of different nobles and officers.
He plans to carry out a thorough clean up within three months. Astonishingly he found traces of the Assassin organization, one of the neutral forces of the continent helping them out in the investigation of all the nobles and officers at high speed. There have been instances where documents of high security mysteriously appear out of nowhere with clean and specific information.
He can understand that the Blood Commanders are part of the Chaos Empire Army and Asava told him to work with him to clean up corruption in the Chaos Empire, but what about the Assassin organization? Why are they helping?
Although he wants to investigate them but thinking about the price and if in the process they find out something they shouldn't know and somehow offend them, the consequences would be dire.
Harold took a long breath and sighed.
