Chapter 330: The Eighth Prince

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Imperial City of the Kingdom of Blackmoon was naturally busier than most cities. Regardless of whether it was when rlin was in Blackwater City or Floating City or the Kurdmansla Islands, those places were less busy than the Imperial City which was right before his eyes.

In particular, the Imperial City was a city where Normies and Spell Casters lived together, which resulted in a different scene. On the street, Spell Casters dressed in apparels of various colors and went about their businesses, and the Normies seed unperturbed by the sight. There were also Spell Casters whose appearances were as strange and deford as the alpine Beast People, but they attracted no curiosity as well. Evidently, most people were used to them.

Nevertheless, rlin only glanced around carelessly at the Imperial City. At the mont, he was preoccupied with observing the Fla Maxim in his Awareness.

Outside the Imperial City, rlin had felt the Blackmoon Tower suppressing the Fla Maxim. It might be that the Blackmoon Tower had a mystical power which was able to suppress the Fla Maxim.

Therefore, rlin was afraid that so change might occur, so he was paying close attention to the Fla Maxim.

Fortunately, although the suppression of the Fla Maxim increased after he had entered the Imperial City, the Maxim did not undergo any changes, remaining silent in his Awareness.

The gigantic Blackmoon Tower could be clearly seen from anywhere in the Imperial City. rlin kept looking toward the Blackmoon Tower from ti to ti, as he could feel traces of the suppressing force that it emitted.

Snake Elder had said before that there was more than one Great Wizard keeping watch in the Blackmoon Tower. After all, it functioned as a foundation for the royal family of the Kingdom of Blackmoon. With more than one Great Wizard overseeing the activities in the city, they would be able to defend against any attack on the Imperial City.

In addition, with the presence of the imposing Blackmoon Tower, no spell casters’ organization or Spell Caster would dare to attack the Imperial City. Even the arrogant and contemptuous Ozmu had never made a move in the Imperial City.

Snake Elder and the rest went along the streets, and after a silent journey, arrived at a grand and magnificent manor which was strictly guarded. Elite guards were vigilantly keeping watch outside the manor, and now and then, Spell Casters would probe around with their Mind Power from inside.

As rlin and the rest headed straight toward the manor, multiple streams of powerful Mind Power brazenly swept across rlin. Most of the Mind Power could be comparable to a Sixth-level Spell Caster’s.

“Security here is really tight!”

rlin frowned as if he was unhappy about the Mind Power inspection he was subjected to within the manor.

It was true that any Spell Caster, examining with their Mind Power so openly, would offend other Spell Casters. Sotis misunderstandings might even arise because of this.

Snake Elder said hurriedly, “Wizard rlin, please be patient for now. The manor of His Royal Highness the eighth prince was not like this in the past. It appears that His Royal Highness the eighth prince is in a rather delicate situation these days, which is why security is so strict.”

Of course, rlin knew what Snake Elder ant, so he nodded. “I hope to et with His Royal Highness the eighth prince as soon as possible.”

“Very well, please wait for just a mont, Wizard rlin. After we’ve t with His Royal Highness the eighth prince, then we shall invite you to et with His Royal Highness!”

With that, Snake Elder, Wizard Hasbro, and Wizard Sacra hurriedly walked into the manor’s living room, leaving rlin in a secluded hall.

There were finely detailed statues within the hall. These carvings were perfect imitations – anyone could tell that they were the works of a master. The human figures were so lifelike. rlin could not help but think of the mysterious relief sculptures he had obtained. It had been such a long ti, and all he had was four relief sculptures. Presently, he had excellent physical attributes, but because the ti needed to cultivate the four relief sculptures was too long, the developnt of his physique had reached a plateau.

rlin knew that there were more than four mysterious relief sculptures. However, rlin had acquired each of the relief sculptures by luck, and it would be challenging to seek them out on purpose.

After a mont, rlin felt that the streams of Mind Power that had been scrutinizing him seed to have disappeared. They must have realized that rlin posed no danger, and thus stopped their spying.

Now that no one was peeping at him, rlin beca relaxed. With nothing better to do, he shut his eyes and began to do sothing he rarely did – Mind Power ditation.

...

In a splendid room, a well-proportioned, handso figure stood ramrod straight. Long wavy curls flowed behind his head to his shoulders, and his fair face was filled with grace. However, his eyes held unfathomable depths as if they contained a strange power, and no one dared to look straight at him.

This man of mannered grace, dressed in fine clothing, was the eighth prince. Before him, stood Snake Elder, Hasbro, and Sacra, three Spell Casters with their heads bowed.

With a face full of sha, Snake Elder said, “Your Royal Highness, what happened was this. We were delayed for over a month, and on our way back, we were ambushed by Wizard Oden of the fourth prince. Thus, we’ve only managed to return now.”

The eighth prince’s expression remained unchanged as if nothing could arouse his excitent or his disappointnt. There was always a subtle sense of steadfastness and confidence about him.

After a period of deep consideration, the eighth prince began to speak slowly, “Snake Elder, you said that rlin has given three generous gifts? A Second-level Spell Caster who could destroy three city-states in a row, and even Finello, who was a master of runes, is dead?”

Snake Elder nodded with a solemn expression. “That’s right. We’ve underestimated rlin’s abilities by far. In fact, his powers are terrifying, and could be compared to a Sixth-level Spell Caster! On our way back this ti, we encountered the ninth Wizard and even my two disappointing subordinates have died. If it wasn’t for Wizard rlin who made his move at a crucial point causing Oden to leave sowhat fearfully, I’m afraid things would have been much worse.”

Wizard Hasbro and Wizard Sacra nodded repeatedly. They had witnessed themselves how Oden beca apprehensive and left after rlin had attacked, allowing them to return to the Imperial City safely. They could not have done so without rlin’s efforts.

The eighth prince smiled as well. “That’s good. I’m glad that you’re able to return safely, and more importantly, you’ve brought rlin as well. As for rlin, I have my plans for him.”

Snake Elder and the rest felt reassured. The eighth prince had always been respectful toward Spell Casters, even if it was the alpine Snake People tribe. There were many who looked down upon the alpine Snake People deep in their hearts, but Snake Elder could see that that the eighth prince genuinely treated the Snake People as ordinary beings.

This was also a crucial reason why Snake Elder was so bent on following the eighth prince. It should be known that even Wolf Girl Jelena, who had pledged allegiance to the fourth prince, was only used to break through the front lines in attacks. Her position was only a little better than a slave’s.

“Your Royal Highness, has the peace of the Imperial City been broken? The fourth prince was even brazen enough to send people to kill us...”

Before Snake Elder could finish, the eighth prince interrupted him with a wave of his hand. The prince’s face gradually darkened, and his fair fingers tapped the table lightly. This was a long-ti habit of his, which he would do only when he was feeling anxious and unsure about what to do.

After a long mont, a determined light glinted in the eighth prince’s eyes as he said softly, “Go on, let’s et with Wizard rlin first. As for Fourth Brother... Now is not the ti yet!”

Snake Elder and the rest bobbed their heads, after which they followed behind the eighth prince as he left the room and went toward the hall.

...

“Viscount rlin, His Royal Highness the eighth prince requests an audience with you!”

rlin was ditating when a guard in silver armor ca beside him and called out softly.

Although he was ditating, rlin had not loosened his perception of the external world. Therefore, he opened his eyes quickly and glanced at the silver-armored guard, saying calmly, “Lead the way.”

Following that, rlin trailed behind the silver-armored guard and entered the great hall of the manor.

It was well-lit inside the hall, and one could see everything clearly inside. There were four individuals in total, three of which were Snake Elder, Wizard Hasbro, and Wizard Sacra, all of whom rlin recognized.

In the center was a slim and handso aristocrat whose expression was inscrutable. There was no doubt that this was the eighth prince.

rlin imdiately behaved under the standard etiquette of aristocracy and bowed toward the eighth prince. After all, besides being a Spell Caster of the Dark Magic Region, he was now also a viscount, an aristocrat in the Kingdom of Blackmoon!

“Your Honorable Royal Highness the eighth prince, I thank you for sending Snake Elder to Wilson Castle in the past, saving the Wilson clan from suffering a calamity!”

No matter what the eighth prince’s intentions were, his act of sending Snake Elder truly did protect the Wilson clan, sparing them from the invasion of Spell Casters. rlin was expressing his genuine gratitude.

A slight smile appeared on the eighth prince’s face, and he said warmly, “Viscount rlin, sending Snake Elder and the rest to Wilson castle was rely a small effort – your three generous gifts are much more precious!”

rlin knew that the eighth prince was referring to Taran City, Guinomi City, and Fanya City. rlin had slaughtered the Spell Casters of these three independent city-states throughout his journey, forcing them to pledge allegiance to the eighth prince.

With this, the three city-states could be united with Prakash City. This was significant to the eighth prince, so it was naturally a “lavish gift”.

rlin had been observing the eighth prince. He did not seem very old, but rlin knew that the eighth prince was in fact over forty years old. Among Spell Casters, forty years was considered young. The eighth prince was a Spell Caster too, and a powerful one at that. rlin had the vague feeling that the eighth prince was even stronger than ninth Wizard Oden who had tried to kill Snake Elder and the rest on their way here.

It made sense when he thought about it. The entire royal family of the Kingdom of Blackmoon was comparable to a large spell casters’ organization. As a prince from the royal family, one who was competing for the throne, how could his Spell Caster talents be lacking and unremarkable?

Thus, even though he was only forty years old, the eighth prince was already a Sixth-level Spell Caster. This might seem inconceivable to other people, but to a prince from the royal family, this was sothing incomparably normal.

However, this indirectly revealed that the heritage of the Blackmoon royal family was sothing the Dark Magic Region could not compare to by far!

“Your Royal Highness had sent Snake Elder and the rest to Wilson Castle. Naturally, I would not forget my lord’s kindness! However, surely my lord would not send those people to protect the Wilson clan without any reason?”

As soon as he spoke, rlin narrowed his eyes and looked toward the eighth prince without wavering.
