"No way out." The black-hooded figure spoke decisively: "Even the ’Ice Maiden’ sister is no match for him. His power is definitely on par with the other two I ntioned before. I suggest you give up the idea of controlling him."
"Moreover, the War King Sword Skill of your Kingdom of Ginas, passed down through generations, happens to suppress the power of this relic."
"That type of sword skill, which can stimulate spiritual power, is like a natural enemy to this relic that can erode an individual’s spirit."
"Thus, you’d better not use it to control your siblings, especially the little princess of the Reinnaier lineage. Her bloodline has already awakened, and she has the legendary sword by her side. Once the relic appears near her, it won’t even have the chance to approach before being slashed by the sword."
Solok fell silent instantly, his gaze continued to flicker.
"Reinnaier?" Solok said sinisterly: "Is my cheap sister’s true family really as terrifying as you describe?"
"You can doubt, but absolutely don’t question." The black-hooded man declared, spreading his hands: "They were once the rulers above all humanity, an ancient hero lineage. During the Ancient Magic Civilization Period, only people from this lineage could receive the ’gods’’ favor, ascend the heavenly staircase, and obtain incredible power unmatched by humans."
"That is power you can hardly imagine. Modern so-called Sword Saints abound in that clan. Slaying dragons in this era is a feat, but in their clan, that’s a basic achievent. If you haven’t slayed a dragon, you wouldn’t dare to call yourself a hero, nor could you fend off the monstrous calamities devastating the world at that ti with your own strength."
"The bloodline of this clan has transcended. Once awakened, they quickly grow into the most powerful figures among humans."
"If you don’t believe, just wait and see. It won’t take long, perhaps two or three years, and by then, the little princess killing a Sword Saint won’t be any harder than killing a dog."
Solok’s face changed instantly.
In just two or three years, that little girl could casually crush Sword Saints like ants?
An ancient hero lineage... they could really be this strong?
This shocked Solok, and filled him with jealousy.
Why isn’t such a strong bloodline his own?
Compared to such a bloodline, the royal bloodline is pathetically weak.
"No wonder you’re all so focused on my cheap sister."
Solok said coldly.
"Can’t help it; it’s the boss’s order." The black-hooded figure’s tone remained flippant; after a while, he suddenly turned the conversation to an odd tone: "Of course, compared to that little princess, I’m more concerned with Reiger Brillhaut."
"To make descendants of the hero lineage willingly recognize him as their master, wow, that’s an unprecedented feat."
For so reason, when ntioning Reiger, the black-hooded figure’s tone was no longer as flippant but carried a certain emotion hard for others to discern.
"You want to deal with him too?"
Solok detected the emotion, narrowing his eyes.
"...Forget it."
The black-hooded figure fell silent for a while, then suddenly beca helpless.
"As I am now, I’m just a puppet; there’s no way I could compete with that guy."
Of course, even if using the real body to find trouble, whether or not he could compete against that guy was still an unknown.
After all, this is a powerful opponent that even the ’Ice Maiden’ sister suffered losses against...
"Enough chitchat, I’ll leave the rest to you, and I won’t join in." The black-hooded figure resud his flippant tone, saying: "I’ll watch this drama from the best seat and see how far you can take it."
"These magic automatons are yours; consider them our last bit of support."
"Don’t let us down, okay?"
Leaving those words, the black-hooded figure shimred and disappeared.
"Hmpf."
Seeing this, Solok’s face completely sank.
"Truly a bunch of mysterious folks. After probing for so long, yet unable to extract a shred of information, I really don’t know when such a terrifying organization appeared on the Akasha continent."
"To them, I’m just a puppet to deal with Reiger Brillhaut, aren’t I?"
"But it doesn’t matter; as long as I can achieve my goal, the rest... let’s wait and see."
...
Northeast corner of the palace, Liz’s chamber.
At this mont, Reiger hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
He was holding a communication crystal, talking to the young lady of the Franzel family.
"Did you say the Third Prince Solok is exhibiting that chilling energy only possessed by those magic automatons that attacked you before?"
When Reiger shared his discovery of the day with Yuri, Yuri, in the top-floor office of the Franzel family residence, couldn’t help but freeze.
"Yes." Reiger nodded, saying: "I discovered this accidentally."
Today, he visited Solok precisely because, while using the ’Transparent World,’ he saw the cold energy flowing inside Solok.
That was the power used by the magic automatons, which also possessed the sa power as the relic. Reiger certainly wouldn’t forget.
Now, bringing this up, Yuri almost imdiately understood Reiger’s implication.
"You’re saying that mysterious underground force has already acted, secretly contacted Third Prince Solok, and developed him into one of their mbers?"
Yuri’s expression changed slightly.
"It’s not hard to understand, right?" Reiger’s face remained calm and composed as he spoke: "You’re aware of that mad dog’s nature. With his temperant, after suffering such a defeat with , how could he possibly take it lying down and accept his misfortune quietly?"
