Capital City:
After leaving the auction house, Elder Galvin and others started looking for other clues.
Time flies,
When it was high time. The group returned to the Academy empty-handed. There was no sign of evil wizards in the city.
Rather, it's correct to say that they didn't find any information regarding the involvement of the evil wizards.
The crime location was on the outskirts of the city. There aren't many people residing there. Those who are living in that place are small street vendors and old shop owners.
And none of them had witnessed anything unusual. So the team of council elders are confused whether the bloodline wizard Ben was specifically targeted or not.
Majestic Tower:
The dean heard the reports from the investigation team. Like them, he was confused as well. Unlike the council elders, he has added responsibility.
He has to get to the bottom of this incident. Otherwise, the powerhouse of the bloodline hall won't let it slide.
They might find him incompetent and start attacking him.
So right now the old man has no other choice except contacting other channels. If it's work done by an evil wizard, then there is a possibility to get to know which organization is responsible for it.
The dean decides to try out a few channels. Before doing that he asked the council elders to leave.
...
A few hours ago,
Taboo Hall's isolated space:
"That kid is still alive," A slender-looking man muttered to himself.
Behind him, there was a female powerhouse listening to his mumbling.
Both of them are a powerhouse of the Taboo Hall.
The slender-looking man furrowed his eyebrows.
"Did you ask what is the reason for their failure?" He asked.
"Sigh"
"They did everything with their power. But the kid named Mark died in that ruin unexpectedly. Nobody knows whether he found out the disease rule or not," The female powerhouse said with a sigh.
The slender-looking young man showed disappointment in his face. How rare was that opportunity?
He fooled other powerhouses by allowing Taboo Hall people to grant entrance quota to a kid named Mark.
But that kid turned out to be a failure. Now he is dead, it's impossible to ask him anything.
The next second, he thought of something. A ruthless glint flashes in his eyes.
"It's a pity that he is not a Taboo Wizard. To think Sub-Taboo Hall has gained such a seed after hundreds of years. If not handled properly, they are going to raise for sure."
"I don't want to see the same situation happening again when the late gravity ancestor was alive. During his era, the Taboo Hall was completely suppressed."
"Later, it took us several decades to regain the position," He said in a solemn tone. He is clear with the history.
Gravity magic has great potential. Now that kid might have accepted the inheritance already. Then his growth would be even faster.
If his guess is right, the crippled old man would do everything to protect that kid. He closed his eyes for a moment before making the decision.
"The bloodline maniacs failed to kill that kid. I thought they would do a better job at this. But it looks like we have to take things in our hands," After saying that he paused for a second.
Then he added, "Contact the Shadow Skull. Place a kill order on Vincent Carey. I don't think that kid can still escape from the dangers."
The female powerhouse showed some surprise before her expression returned to normal.
The Shadow Skull is another evil wizard organization similar to the Dark League. But unlike Dark League, this group acts silently and they don't have network connections with other organizations.
Wizards in this organization are known for their 100% kill record. They don't accept every order to kill. To place an order, the customer has to agree to their condition.
So the female powerhouse was surprised that they were taking it to the next level. Just to kill a level-5 wizard.
After the conversation, the female powerhouse instructed her people to execute the task.
An hour later,
A place far away from the Sand Rock Country. It's a place ruled by many factions. There was no state system here.
Among these factions, few are extremely dangerous. They have business in many countries.
So their wealth and force strength are comparable to the state.
One such organization is the Shadow Skull. At this time, inside the dark stone castle. Many wizards wearing hoods are going about their business.
In one separate big room, a level-8 wizard receives the communication for a new order. Seeing that he wasn't surprised. He placed his hands on the crystal ball and accepted the information.
The next second, an image of a kid and his background information appears on the crystal ball. The image of a kid is none other than Vincent Carey.
The level-8 wizard's eyes flickered. When he saw the name of the awakened magic. To kill a Sub-Taboo Gravity wizard, a potential seed of the Yellow River Academy is not an easy order.
The level-8 wizard decides to consult with higher-ups. Besides, there will be a condition.
Swish!
He disappears from the spot. And mysteriously appeared in front of a huge iron door.
"Come in"
Sensing his presence a male voice came from the inside.
Creak!
The huge iron door opened.
The level-8 wizard then walked into the room. The room looked like an ancient cave. The floors were laid with black stones.
Shelves were carved out of the cave wall. Many ancient leather books can be seen placed neatly. Instead of modern bright light, an ancient lamp was on the wooden table.
The whole place looks very old. The level-8 wizard didn't look at any of this thing. He slowly walked up to the table and desk and stood in front of it.
"What is it?" the voice came again. The voice is coming from all directions. But no one can be seen inside the room.
Hearing that the level-8 wizard starts to tell about the order.
