Chapter 85 - A Brewing Storm (1/2)
Two days later, While some people still haven't gotten over the fact the 4th imperial prince of the Djage Empire was able to use lightning energy as he pleases, the whole Egul continent exploded with a big news that was churning like boiling water.
The news of a powerful treasure left behind by the legendary Alchemist Henry in the southern region of the Mulan kingdom, more precisely in the Black Mist Forest. Everyone on the continent knew that Henry was a powerful alchemist that walked through the Egul continent approximately three hundred years ago.
It was said that he was able to create magic potions that could transform a regular mortal into a warrior and even enhanced one's innate talent from the yellow grade to even the green grade level of innate talent. Some even said that he was able to increase one lifespan as well back when he was alive.
They also know that he was a man that was both feared and sought by the four great empires of the Egul continent. In conclusion, they all knew the tales of that mysterious and powerful person that said to possess the power of God.
However, today they have heard that he had left behind a powerful artifact or treasure after his death in the southern region of the Mulan kingdom. Even though they did not know what kinda treasure that he had left behind or if the rumor was even true.
Nonetheless, that piece of information was enough to turn the whole continent into a state of turmoil as it quickly spread throughout the continent like a wildfire. All the royal families and some imperial families sent experts to the southern region to check it out.
In less than a day, every single influence throughout the Egul continent, noble families and vagrant mages and warriors rushed here immediately without minding the cost.
It was unknown who had started this rumor, but no one wanted to take the chances of not acting on it. If it wasn't true then they have to see it for themselves.
The treasure left behind by Henry in the southern region of the Mulan kingdom was filled with boundless temptation to any person who knew or heard about his tales. The legendary method to increase one lifespan, increase one's innate talent or spiritual force, transform any mortal into powerful warriors, any of these things would pave the future path of just about anyone.
Many reclusive mages and warriors came out after hearing that news, even some powerful ancient noble families sent some people as well.
While the whole continent was in turmoil following that news, somewhere within the Draco Empire, an emergency meeting was taking place.
Right now, within the main hall of a secret mansion located in the outskirt of the Imperial capital of the Draco empire, there were twelve people sitting around a table. There were an overwhelmingly powerful battle qi and magic power exuded from all their bodies. They all wore black robes and hats that had long curtains to completely hide their faces. In all, they were very mysterious.
” I call upon you, the members of the Magic-knight council regarding the rumor that has been circulating throughout the continent regarding the treasure left behind by Henry in the southern part of the Mulan kingdom.” At this moment, the voice of an old man finally rang out from the front seat of the table. It was an ancient and archaic voice, yet it carried along an imposing strength and dignity.
For those who might not know about this, The Magic-knight council was a secret organization that was formed by the most powerful people within the continent. The people within that organization were all 9th rank warrior or mage. Among them were the four guardians or protectors of the four great empires of the Egul continent.
Aside from them, there was also the chairman of the mercenary union and other 9th rank warriors from some powerful ancient noble families or reclusive ones.
One of the objectives of the Magic-knight council was to protect the Egul continent from outside threat or from the invasion of the other nearby continents.
However, their main goal from when they were first created more than three hundred years ago was to prevent the Eye from taking over the Egul Continent. Henry was such a powerful foe and had many heaven-defying methods that the four great empires to had let go of their differences and formed a secret pact or an alliance known as the Magic-knight council to resist him in case he wanted to take over the whole Egul continent. Furthermore, even after his death, this organization still had not dissolved as the Eye was still functioning and even becomes more aggressive over the years after the appointment of their new leader.
