The conversation with Theo led to so new questions about the attack, as well as the leadership of Odemore. Arthur knew he would have to go to the demon continent eventually, and he would bring his wives with him.
So, he had to find soone else to take care of the Odemore on the central continent. The war had been just the tip of the iceberg, it seems, and problems kept arising.
After the two finished talking, Arthur went to see Nyssa, who was in the thermal fonts, relaxing a bit. She had a tanner skin, a gorgeous body and a hair red as blood.
"What do u want to talk about?" Arthur said, appearing out of a sudden, surprising her.
"You scared . It's strange to be close to soone way stronger than myself. First, will you bath with ?" Nyssa asked in a seductive tone.
Perhaps if it was the Arthur from the past, he would fall to such techniques, but he had grown, and he would not go around chasing won when he already had two beautiful wives.
"I'm good. If you don't want to speak, then I am taking my leave." Arthur said.
He turned around to leave, but Nyssa quickly said, "no, wait. Hear out, please."
Arthur smiled, but when he turned around, there was only a blank face saying, "go on."
"There are so rumors about you being the one exploring the demon continent. Am I right?"
"You are indeed. What does that have to do with you?"
"Before taking the position of chief here, just like most mages, I was an adventurer. I got so records about the demon continent, so really old scrolls, but I cannot understand them. Do you want them?" Nyssa said.
That was sothing Arthur was not expecting at all. Could they be fake? The human continents barely had any information about the demon continent. They knew its general location, like what direction to take to reach it, but the distance and the dangers along the way were unknown.
Even the creatures which lived there were unknown to them, making the task Arthur would have to face way harder. When Nyssa ntioned sothing about old scrolls which could hold so information about this mysterious demon continent, then surely he it was attractive to him.
"Do you want sothing for these scrolls? I don't see a reason for you to give them for free."
Arthur did not believe in free lunch, even more so in this world of mages.
"For now, nothing at all. Maybe in the future if I am in the need of help then I hope you can lend a hand. Don't worry, there will be no contract or pact, just our words. If I need help with sothing you cannot do, then just don't do it." Nyssa said.
It was not a poor offer. Without a contract or pact to bond these words, then it was just a promise, which ant it could be broken if she needed help with sothing impossible.
"Okay. Where are these scrolls?"
Nyssa chuckled and said, "inside my personal library. Let's go." Then she got up from the thermal font, showing her nude body in front of Arthur. It had perfect curves, and the boobs had the perfect size! Everything was perfect, and it took a lot of ntal strength for Arthur to resist such a scene, but he did.
She put on so clothing after noticing her charms did not work, and the two went to the main building of the school where Nyssa's room was. The students whispered after seeing the two walking together, trying to guess what was the identity of the man beside Nyssa was.
The two went to the last floor of the school's main building, and the entire floor was prohibited to anyone beside Nyssa and those she allowed to enter. It was her ho.
There was a bedroom, a bathroom, a personal library, so pools, and all the luxury one could get. It made sense, as she was a rank 2 mage, as well as the leader of a school.
"This is my library. Co, I will pick up the scrolls for you." Nyssa said.
When she spoke about a library, Arthur believed it would be small, like the books one had in its ho on a shelf, but the reality was the complete opposite. It was freaking huge, and Arthur believed it was bigger than the libraries he saw in the cities.
It was easy for one to get lost in there, but Nyssa was familiar with everything, so with fast moves she got the scrolls she talked about. Three scrolls in total of it written in a distinct language, one Arthur did not know.
He wondered how did Nyssa know it was from the demon continent. It was actually written in there in the language humans knew, but that was it. Demon Continent was the only thing they could read.
The scrolls had so drawings showing different locations, mythical creatures, and 'demons'.
"I will have to find soone who can read this, but who?" Arthur thought as he put the three scrolls into his magical pouch.
"Thanks Nyssa. I will take my leave now. If you excuse ."
"No problem. See ya, Arthur the hero."
There was nothing else for Arthur to do at that school, as he already spoke with Theo, and got so unexpected benefits, the scrolls. But now it was ti for him to return to his task.
Arthur went to see Chris and Cheryl. He wanted to say goodbyes to them, as well as speak with Chris in private.
The two siblings were in the room Nysa provided them, not happy now that Arthur would leave.
"Don't be sad, you two. Get stronger for us to et again in the future. Look, I got you so gifts."
Chris was the type of person who enjoyed weapons, so Arthur gave him one of his treasures, the sword rethyl gave him back then when he beca the ruler of the elves.
It was hard for him to departure of such valuable treasure, but it was weaker now that Arthur reached a whole different level of power. If he was still in the rank 1, then sure he could use it and it would be good, but now it was not the case.
"This is a sword from a distant land. It can change shape into any weapon you want and rember, it can also turn into a shield for protection. If my calculations are right, this can go up against rank 1 mages, but after that, it will get weaker. Who knows, maybe if you learn so magical smithing than you can upgrade it." Arthur said.
"I- are you sure you want to give this?"
"Of course. Use it to protect your sister."
"I will, I will."
"What about ?" Cheryl said.
She also wanted a gift, but Arthur had nothing which suited her. There was one thing he believed it would be useful for her, and that was one fruit from the bloodline tree he planted in Odemore. It would still take so ti to grow, so Cheryl would have to wait a little for her gift.
"Cheryl, I have sothing way more precious than what I gave your brother, but it will take so ti for to get it. Can you wait for it?"
"More precious than what my brother got? Hehehe, of course I can wait,"
She did not look sad, making Arthur sigh in relief. Chris went near Arthur and whispered, "is it truly more precious than this freaking weapon?"
"Yeah, it is, but it's sothing only suitable for her, so don't overthink it." Arthur whispered back, but then spoke in a louder tone, "I will leave now, but I am sure we will et again. You two, focus on your training, and if you have any doubt or need any help, you can contact through this mark."
Arthur waved his hand, and both Chris and Cheryl got the tattoo of a dragon on their forearm. It was Arthur's secret mark, which allowed them to keep in touch.
The trio hugged each other, and then Arthur left the Scorching Sun Academy, continuing his search for Hiley, as well as for soone capable of reading the scrolls he got from Nyssa.
~~~~
One month passed. Arthur kept asking around, as well as hearing the rumors, yet did not find a single clue about Hiley, and neither soone capable of reading the scrolls.
He was getting worried, and his journey led him to the capital of the central continent, where a young boy ca looking for him with a letter.
"Excuse sir, are you Arthur? I am a courier, and this is a letter for you!" He said, giving him the letter, leaving afterwards.
"So the eting Seth talked about is finally happening. I can only hope they can help get more information about my friend, and perhaps soone to read these scrolls, though I have to be careful to not show too much."
Arthur read the letter, and moved to the location where the eting would take place, and that was in the city he was currently in, the capital of the central continent, Vuurora.
