Chapter 85 - A Brewing Storm (2/2)

Today, after more than two centuries, this organization that had been forgotten by the upper echelons of the Egul continent was having their first meeting.

If words were to get out about this meeting, the entire continent would be shocked because each of the people attending that meeting was all pinnacle existence in the continent. One word from them was enough to strip any powerful emperor or king from their throne. They were like gods within the Egul continent.

The ancient voice continued on ”Also, we all know that this rumor was most likely started by the Eye. If they dared to share that information with the public is because of one of the four empires had found a way to translate the content of that book left by Henry about the location of his treasure and research.”

” My oldest son had been tracking one of the members of the Eye for sometime and about two weeks ago, that member of the eye had found one of a descendant of Henry who was able to translate that language and my son had intercepted him and took that person away from him as well.” Hearing the old man words, one of the people seating on the table quickly answered and shared his findings with them.

It wasn't that he was afraid of that person but he knew that old geezer had already known about it and was just playing stupid, not only him but all of them. Each one of them had already broken through the 9th rank mage or warrior. At this stage, not many things can escape their sights.

Furthermore, the old man that was talking just now was the guardian or the old ancestor of the mighty Draco Empire empire, also known as the strongest mage in the Egul continent. He wasn't a person to be trifled with. Even though they had signed a pact not to interfere with the affair of the empire or fighting among themselves, they still used their descendants as a proxy to carried out their order.

Because 9th rank mages were very powerful and can decide the fate of a nation or empire, they refrained themselves from abusing that power and go to war because it would result in massive death if they were to go all out.

” I see, one of my grandsons had been looking for the descendants of that person as well, even though he wasn't able to catch one of them. He was still able to acquire a thick book that listed the some words of that person language and gave their meanings or the equivalent words in our language. I believed with my book and that person found by the son of the Old ghost, we would be able to decipher the book left by Henry.”

” From what I can tell, It seemed like the Eye had already find another person that could decipher the books, but because they knew that one of us would know as well, he shared part of the information with the public to divert their attention as well as ours while keeping the most important part for themselves. While we are looking for that treasure in the southern part of the Mulan Kingdom, they would be looking for the real treasure.” He continued.

” I agreed with the Sword emperor.” Answered another old man.

” Me too.”

” This old bone was thinking the same thing.”

In less than a second, everyone agreed with the proposal of the Sword Emperor. None of them was able to find a way to translate that book, seeing that one of them was willing to share that information with them, they were more than happy.

Even though hey looked very harmonious at this moment, they were all cooking their own schemes. Because of the presence of the Eye, they were forced to play nice with each other. The Eye itself was stronger than any of the four great empires as they had five 9th rank experts among them. If it wasn't for the fact that they had formed that alliance to resist them, the Eye would have already swallowed them one by one. As such, it was better to share that information among themselves and find a way to get that treasure and research before the Eye did, otherwise even with all them combined, it would only be a matter of time before the Eye crushes them all and take over the whole Egul continent.

” What do you think, Old Ghost.” Asked the Guardian of the Draco Empire.

At this point, the gazes of all them felt upon the old man known as the old ghost. The look on their eyes was very frightening as though they were telling him if he refused, they would use force.

Looking at the look on their eyes, the old man known as the old ghost leisurely answered.” If this would prevent the Eye from getting stronger and even strengthen out Magic-knight council, then why not. The stronger we are, the more chances that we have to finally get rid of that damn Eye.”
