Chapter 1564: Swift response!
From MC’s Perspective:
The mountain back, the Gravity Field pressure put three of them under immense pressure. The mounting pressure first put the formation wizard to death.
Next, the 2 Level-9 Wizards succumbed to injuries. After killing three of them, I canceled the spell. Then I didn’t go to check their corpses.
I directly took the evil artifact and used it on them. The core eating artifact sucked the mana core energy from the corpses one by one.
To his surprise, the evil artifact not only devoured their mana cores. It devoured their whole body. In the blink of an eye, three of their corpses turned to dust.
[Ding! Warning!]
[Host is advised to put back the Artifact in the system space.]
The mechanical voice sounded in my mind. The next second, I put the core eating artifact back in the system space.
Then my gaze turned toward the three storage bracelets on the ground. It was left untouched by the Artifact.
Then I picked the three storage bracelets and returned to the top of the mountain. Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion’s Hall.
I placed the three storage bracelets on the floor. Then I used the system function to probe. I’m worried about that trick left by the dead wizards.
The system results came positive. As I had guessed the storage bracelet will explode if someone tries to open them.
What was surprising was that the restrictions on the three storage bracelets were the same. I immediately thought of the dark faction.
It must be their work. Until I figure out how to open this. I won’t be able to do anything. Then my gaze fell on the Zero Puppet.
I could use Zero Puppet. But Zero Puppet got level-7 strength. If any mishap happens, then the Zero Puppet could suffer.
I don’t think it’s worth it. Though I wasn’t able to get anything valuable. But I succeeded in killing three people from the Dark faction.
Soon, they will know the news. They will think either the Merchant Association was behind it or the White Faction.
But no one will suspect me. My eyes glinted with expectations. Upcoming days won’t be peaceful for the Merchant Association.
I should try to reap benefits during the chaos. Then I went to bed.
---
The following day,
The Dark Faction have indeed found out that the soul power of three Wizards have gone. It only happens when someone dies.
There are different forces under the White Faction. Similarly, there are different forces under the Dark Faction.
The dead Magic Formation Wizards come from one faction. The other 2 deceased come from another faction.
Now both of these factions are alarmed. They fear they might be targeted by the White Faction or the Merchant Association.
Whereas the Dark Faction higher ups are thinking otherwise. They didn’t expect someone to dare to kill their members.
So the Dark Faction higher ups wanted to make good use of this opportunity. They have decided to send an envoy to ask for an explanation. The Envoy is a Magic Lord.
A few Supreme Wizards will assist him in his trip. From the Dark Faction Headquarters, a massive black airship departed from the place.
On the ship, the Dark Faction Envoy and Supreme Wizards are resting. The Dark Airship is moving in the direction of the Merchant Association.
The appearance of the Dark airship is hard to conceal. The Airship is not any ordinary airship. This one represents the identity of the Dark Faction.
It shows that someone with authority is traveling on the ship. The spies from various places have hidden here. They immediately shared such important news to their respective forces.
Not long after the dark airship left the Headquarters. The White Faction got a wind of it. They immediately thought of the Dark Faction sending people to forcibly convince them.
Swoosh!
Not long after, a big white airship leaves the territory of the White Faction. It’s going to the Merchant Association as well.
The sudden movement caused by the White Faction has alerted other factions as well. The Black Airship is going towards the destination.
Now the White Airship has made an appearance. It also caused an increase in speculation. But from the direction people can see that the destination could be the Merchant Association.
It didn’t take long for the Merchant Association to learn the news as well. They were shocked and dumbfounded. Why were 2 Factions paying a visit this time?
The higher ups couldn’t help but wonder whether it was coercion. Both the factions won’t leave without getting any answer from them.
They can only wait for them to arrive before making the decision. The Families behind the Merchant Association had already split into the two different factions.
The Head and the higher ups knew something was going to happen today.
Shortly afterwards,
An announcement was made. All the outsiders were told to leave. The locals were asked to stay in their underground home or shop.
The announcement shocked everyone and created a scene of panic and confusion. But the officials worked efficiently.
They have opened the gates which lead to outside. Those who wanted to leave can leave without getting inspected.
It didn’t take long for the large number of people to start exiting the city. The locals closed down their shops and returned to their home.
Meanwhile,
I’m roaming around the city. But the sudden announcement caught me off guard. If I was not wrong, it must be related to yesterday’s incident.
But I’m thinking why make such an announcement. Unless someone is going to visit the place. If the visitor was not friendly, the place could become a battlefield.
So I immediately left the area and returned to the back of the mountain. No one was coming to this area right now.
Swoosh!
Then I appeared inside the Gregor Mansion and entered the control room. I could see the back of the mountain.
I’m sure if the visitors are from the Dark Faction, then they will come here. I’m suspecting they could trace the death spot.
"A great show is awaiting," I uttered.
