FULL NOVELXO Chapter 641 The Corpses
contemporary romance
"What?! Is that true, Sir Hogan?"
"How is that possible?!"
Viscount Truman and Marquis Morgan expressed their shock and indignation upon hearing the Sun Sorcerer's revelations.
The nobles had anticipated a wealth of treasures within the Treasury, envisioning the potential gain for their Faction.
They had hoped to lay claim to rare and potent items for their own agendas. Specifically, Viscount Truman coveted the mysterious ownerless Grimoire and the Crown Prince's equipment, while Marquis Morgan sought the King's Crown and Scepter including the enigmatic Sealed Mask of the Divine, the sole Arcana of the Kingdom that defied control.
"Do you mean to tell me that the Sealed Mask has been taken? I've already uncovered clues on how to harness its power. Could it have been seized by a fleeing member of the Royal Family?" Marquis Morgan inquired, frustration evident in his voice.
"All the members of the Royal Family were reported dead. Who else could take it away? We must dispatch an investigation team to scour the capital!" Viscount Truman interjected with a sense of urgency.
"I think there are still plenty of treasures left. Can you tell me more about that grimoire and mask?" Sun Sorcerer Hogan asked.
After the two nobles informed their men using their communication crystals, they looked at the Sorcerer and explained.
"That mask is a Complete Arcana. When unsealed, the Mask of the Divine elevates all your Spell Models to the Perfect Realm once worn. Not even the Great Arcanist Ves could unravel its secrets, leaving it to collect dust in the Treasury. As for the Grimoire... Each page is said to teem with mystical beings. Once the Grimoire acknowledges you as its master, you gain access to the most formidable Summon Beings imaginable!" Marquis Morgan elucidated, emphasizing the extraordinary power of the coveted artifacts.
In the meantime, while this was all happening, Vale remained silent and just kept nodding at their conversation.
However, deep in his mind, he knew that he had made the right decision to go ahead and take treasures before the rebels could take them away!
"Mhmm… Those are interesting Artifacts." Vale said as he stood up.
"I'm planning to go down to check the corpses. I'll be a bit busy, but you can find me when there's an important matter."
"Ahem… Very well, Sir Vale. Once again, we appreciate the help that you've given to us." Marquis Morgan said as slightly bowed to the young man.
"Indeed… I hope we can do something to have your Dragon recover faster." Viscount Truman said.
The Sun Sorcerer's eyes lit up after hearing this. He didn't expect that the Dragon was still alive.
To be honest, he was secretly searching for the Dragon parts after the explosion.
He wanted to find its scales, meat, or anything valuable that came from the Dragon. However, no matter how much he extended his Magic Zone, he couldn't find those precious Dragon Scales!
As he saw that Vale was about to leave, he immediately spoke.
"Ahhh… Sir Vale, may I ask if it's possible to purchase a Dragon Scale from you? If you have Dragon Blood, you can also sell it to me… I'm not asking for a lot." Sun Sorcerer Hogan immediately said.
For Sorcerers like them, their Magic Artifacts held immense importance. The catalyst used to unleash their Spells was the cornerstone of their existence as Arcanists. Unlike practitioners of other Arcane Paths, a Sorcerer's Spells relied heavily on their scepter, wands, or magic staff. Without these catalysts, their Spells would be considerably weaker against those of similar potency from other Arcane Paths.
With this in mind, Sun Sorcerer Hogan sought to obtain Dragon Scales and Blood if possible.
"Mhmm... I suppose I could accommodate that request. We can discuss the terms later," Vale responded after a brief pause.
In any case, he wanted something from the Church of the Divine Sorcerer as well.
Helping them a bit and forming a connection with them should be
"Awesome! May I ask how many can you possibly provide?" The Sun Sorcerer asked as he wanted to know where the supply would only be for him, or if he could share them with the two other high-ranking Sorcerers like him.
This time, Viscount Truman and Marquis Morgan also joined in. There was no way they would miss this opportunity!
"Please consider allocating some for us as well! We are prepared to offer a fair price. Our Faction has made substantial investments in gold and Arcane Ores," Viscount Truman implored.
"I am prepared to supply you with fragments or remnants of Immortal Items you have sought once I assume control of the kingdom. If you have specific requirements, do not hesitate to inform me, Sir Vale." Marquis Morgan added, eager to secure their share of the sought-after resources.
Vale nodded and agreed to their requests. He knew they were eager to get their hands on the Dragon Scales and Blood, and he didn't mind giving them some. He had plenty of them in his storage ring, and he could always get more from the Dragon.
"Very well, I will prepare as many Dragon Scales and vials of Dragon Blood as I can. But you have to keep this a secret to your close aides. And although people may have an idea where you got them, do not point it on me." Vale said, his voice cold and stern.
He didn't want someone to just visit his castle asking for Dragon Scales.
The three nobles shivered, feeling a chill in their hearts.
Vale had actually released a bit of his physique's Aura just now.
They also sensed a hidden threat in Vale's words, and they didn't dare to offend him. They quickly assured him of their loyalty and gratitude.
"Of course, of course. We are very grateful for your generosity, Sir Vale. You can count on us. I will only let my right-hand man ." Viscount Truman said.
"Yes, yes. We are your loyal allies, Sir Vale. We will do whatever you ask us to do. You are our benefactor, and we will never forget that. I'm planning to just share it with the Black and White Knight. You've already met them, Sir." Marquis Morgan said.
"Ahem… I'm only planning to share the resources with the two other High Sorcerers." Sun Sorcerer Hogan added.
"Good. I'm glad we have an understanding. Now, let's talk about the details later. I have something to do right now. I'll contact you when I'm done." Vale said.
Vale then used his Presence Shift Spell to leave the Airship.
He appeared in front of the arranged corpses of both rebels and the kingdom's forces.
Then, he looked at the dead bodies with a solemn expression.
