Chapter 554: Noel
Airport, Underground District, Miracle City.
It was around 7.05 A.M.
At that mont, a young man in his twenties suddenly appeared at the Airport's entrance gate and adjusted his blower hat.
He had black hair, wide-set erald eyes, and a hook mustache. He wore a double-breasted waistcoat, pince-nez glasses, and held a unique long sword.
After adjusting his hat, he calmly looked at the surroundings and zeroed his gaze on the burning interior.
"What a ss." He muttered out loud.
Although the defensive array chanism had put out most of the fire, tables, chairs, and trolleys that appeared at the Luggage counter were still burning.
Panic cries, screams, and shouts still resounded everywhere.
At that mont, a few people in black uniforms walked from the other side and arrived near him. They all held weapons in their hands and appeared well-organized.
A second later, a silver-haired middle-aged man stepped forward and greeted him.
"Greetings, Professor."
"Good morning, John. How is the search going? Did you find any clue about 'him'?"
A forced smile appeared on John's face as he heard his words. He then let out a deep sigh and responded while taking a communication bracelet from his pocket.
"Unfortunately, we have no clue about him, Professor. Even though we watched out for anyone with a suspicious identity, he fooled all of us and created a series of explosions at the Luggage Counter before escaping. Still, we managed to find out that he stole a communication device from a fellow passenger and used it to contact a woman nad 'Jessie.' Currently, Felix and Preston are searching for more information about her."
Just as he spoke, two young n in their late twenties ran from the half-destroyed airport building and stopped in front of Professor.
"We found out her real identity, My Lord." One of the young n spoke excitedly, took out a strange silver ring from his pocket, and sent his wisdom power into it.
A second later, a holographic image of a blonde-haired young woman appeared in front of their eyes.
"She is the one, My Lord. Her na is Jessie Jones, and she ca to the Miracle City only a few years ago." He stated.
anwhile, Professor took a deep look at Jessie's face and nodded.
"Tell more about her. Where is her origin? I want to know her complete history."
On the other hand, the young man took a deep breath and spoke.
"According to the data collected from the information departnt, we found out that she is an orphan from the Moon Kingdom, My Lord. Around 20 years ago, she and the other three orphans went to the Moon Kingdom's capital city to search for a bright future but t a mysterious Ancient Mage nad Oswald. Later, that Mysterious Mage brought them to the Iron Kingdom and chose to settle there."
"But to everyone's surprise, one of the four orphan kids turned out to be a lost princess. After learning the truth, this orphan group and the Mysterious Ancient Mage seed to have made so plan, defeated all the scheming enemies, and even helped the Lost Princess sit on the throne. Their story beca famous all over the southern part of the kingdoms. Jessie Jones later created an information network organization called 'Silent Nightmares' and beca the pillar of the Iron Kingdom." He paused for a mont and then added in a grave tone.
"From what our information departnt mages had learned so far, she seed to have already made contacts with multiple Warlocks and even founded a branch organization in the Miracle City. Unfortunately, we don't have enough evidence to arrest her. Due to her low strength, her current threat level is only at 'dium' level."
Professor raised his eyebrows as he heard the lengthy explanation but returned to his usual self.
'Sothing isn't right. Although Jessie could pose so danger to the city's security, she is still a low-rank Mystic.' He pondered for a mont and ordered.
"Tell more about the other three orphans and the Mysterious Ancient Mage."
Nodding, that young man tapped the silver ring thrice, minimized the bluish hologram, and created a new holographic image.
A black-haired young woman's face appeared in front of everyone this ti.
She sat on an iron throne and wore a one-shouldered pink tulle gown in that image. She had pale white skin, azure eyes, thin eyebrows, and an oval face.
"Her na is Rhea Boneflare, My Lord. She is the Queen of Iron Kingdom and even gained mbership of the Lawful United Council seven years ago. Interestingly, a well-famous Seer from the Rogue Throne Empire made a prophecy about her a few years ago and said she would bring so big news to the Edhen World during the next United Council eting. Unfortunately, others aren't sure about his claims."
anwhile, Professor calmly waved his hand and spoke.
"Next one."
The young man hurriedly tapped the ring's surface thrice and dismissed the holographic image.
He created another holographic image of a chubby-faced young man two seconds later.
"His na is Noel, My Lord. Unlike the other two, we've less information about this guy. He is a mysterious swordsman." He paused for a mont as he read more information that appeared on the bottom of the holographic image and soon turned grim.
"But so confidential information appeared about this guy recently, My Lord. And, this information is not to be taken lightly."
"What is it?" A trace of annoyance appeared on Professor's face. After all, he ca here in a hurry to kill a powerful scher, not to hear information about so random kids!
anwhile, the young man showed a stiff smile and added.
"He beca a mber of the Unseen Legends a week ago and even seed to have killed No.25. From the rumors, everyone says that his strength should be close to Legend Rank." The young man's face suddenly went pale as he further read the information and quivered a little.
"A-Also, he seed to have entered the Dreamforce Lair and obtained the legacy-" He gulped down his saliva and spoke fearfully.
"He obtained the Legacy of Star Emperor!"
For the first ti, Professor's face turned into a surprised one. No, his face turned into a shocked one at the end!
He was amazed when he heard that Noel managed to kill No.25 of the Unseen Legends.
Unlike other organizations, Unseen Legends Assassin Organization mbers' strength was based on the code numbers.
Number 50 or above ans that the assassin was a Rank-4 Mystic.
Number 30 or above ans he should be around Pseudo-Legend Mystic.
But No.25 ans that the person would be a Legend Rank Powerhouse!
Although they wouldn't be as powerful as peak-level Legend Powerhouses like Brooks or other Destiny Conquerors, they could still pose so serious threat to any Rank-5 Mystics.
So, killing such a person at a young age was not an ordinary matter.
'Did he get so Intellectual artifact or sothing?' Such thought appeared in his mind.
But the reason for his shock was not his Unseen Legends mbership but the information about Star Emperor's legacy.
"How did he manage to co back alive from the Dream Realm? I heard that even the Rogue Shadow failed to do so, right?" A frown appeared on his face.
'Sothing is fishy. I have a suspicion that this guy must be possessed by the Emperor's Will or sothing and is exhibiting extraordinary strength.'
But he shook his head and focused his attention on the current situation.
"He isn't our target. Although he might have the power to kill a Legend Rank Powerhouse, he is still weak to kill ." He muttered solemnly.
'Moreover, 'Ti-Stop' and 'Ti-Loop' spells aren't so random swordsman could cast casually.'
"What about the Mysterious Ancient Mage and the fourth orphan?" He asked.
"Both of them died more than ten years ago, My Lord. Other than them, no one seed to be on closer term with Jessie."
At that mont, Professor shifted his attention towards John and asked.
"What about the target's na? Haven't you guys found out from the Airship's ticket counter?"
anwhile, John shook his head and responded with a sigh.
"The earlier explosions destroyed all those data, Professor. All we got was this communication bracelet which he stole from the nearby passenger and used to warn the girl nad 'Jessie.'"
"Oh? Can I take a look?" Professor extended his right hand and took out the golden bracelet from John's hand.
Then, he closed his eyes, used [Fate Reveal] skill, and tried to search for clues about their destination.
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes and muttered with a smile.
"Found him. He is heading to 88 Rocky Street. Where is that place located?"
"It's in the southern end of the Underground District, Professor. If we go by carriage, it will take only 30 minutes." John responded hurriedly and ordered the nearby soldier to bring the carriage.
Before long, three carriages ca from the parking area and stopped near the Airport's entrance.
anwhile, Professor stepped towards the center carriage, opened the carriage door, and entered.
On the other hand, John and other security guards moved towards the other two carriages and walked in.
Those three carriages drove towards the Airport's exit and soon entered the Underground District's main road within a few seconds.
