Chapter 223
Amber furrowed his brows as he heard about them and asked, "Where are they currently? Are they safe?"
The Ghost nodded and spoke, "Yes, they are safe, Currently they are living in a Hotel . However, I have bought them here as they insisted to et you . You can et them if you want . They are outside waiting for us . "
Amber nodded and ordered, "Hmm . . . Okay, I will et them first . Bring them in imdiately . Treat them as important guests . "
"Yes, Sir . "
Binz the spy escorting Ena was currently on a lookout when the scout ca out from the office . The ghost scout signaled them to co in .
Ena sighed with relief as she had the chance to go out of this warzone .
The Ghost was quite surprised by the beauty after watching the Princess without a hood .
As soon as they ca in, Amber imdiately greeted them enthusiastically,
After so pleasantries, Amber imdiately got to the main point, "I never expected both of you to head here . Was there any urgent matter on your side?"
It was quite awkward for Binz after hearing him, but to keep face as princess ca here on her own will, he imdiately spoke, "Yes, the princess wanted to et Mist and the inventer of those new drugs . She feels that these drugs will change the monopoly of Radiant Church and wanted to make a deal with you guys which would be helpful for both of us in the future . "
Amber nodded as he too understood the importance of the dicine created by John, He spoke, "Seems reasonable, there have also been a lot of spies from the radiant church and the royal family to get those antidotes . "
Ena coughed imdiately as she heard them but nodded after understanding that Binz was given approval by Thomas for conducting this particular trade .
She spoke, "Yes, we never thought this war would reach this point, we only predicted minor skirmishes and then a peace deal . However, we were wrong . Anyway, we would like to leave this warzone imdiately . "
Ena slled sothing suspicious as she saw a powder near Amber’s table and raised her brows, "What is this? Why do you guys have this in your possession? Is your lord dealing with such things?"
Amber raised his eyebrows as he saw in the direction of Ena, "Ohh you are talking about that powder? No, it was collected by my n, this powder was being spread by General Irwin’s n so were quite suspicious and wanted to have our labs test them if there is any conspiracy involved . So that is the current situation . "
Ena was quite shocked after hearing this as she asked, "You guys really don’t know what is this?"
Binz too was imdiately alerted after he saw the powder however he knew that this was a classified thing even in Ayananore however it was common knowledge for royalty .
without thinking, Amber nodded and asked, "Yeah, from the looks of it, it seems you guys have so knowledge on it . Can you tell us more about it?"
Ena spoke with a grave expression as she looked at the black powder, "This is actually related to one of our most classified reports . After our detailed studies, we found that this powder is used to create an epidemic known as Black Death . We still don’t know the source of this disease . However, we know one thing for sure, this is a disease engineered artificially to kill off people with low magic energy . I believe this was made with the sole motive of killing Knights as they were a nace for Magicians in close combat . This would take effect in 8-10 days . As for those with high magic levels or resistance, they were able to escape the effects of this disease . "
Amber nodded as he understood the situation and asked, "Is there any solution for this disease because according to my n’s report, This powder is spread in the whole city of Dolores however there aren’t reactions till now . "
Binz nodded and spoke, "Well, there is a dicine but it is regulated by the Radiant Church . We for one tackled this problem with Holy Water of Raven Tree however it is quite expensive . We have a hostile relationship with the Radiant Church because of their previous attempts to kill our populace when they sent templar across the sea when we rejected them and their ideology 300 years ago . And that was also the ti when they excluded the elves as well from noble species after our relations worsened when they faced a bitter defeat against us in Ayananore . And that was the ti when they started discriminating against all the other species . As far as the old guys are concerned they think this disease is related to the radiant church since this disease ca in Ayanonore 300 years ago as well but till now we never had any proof’s but today after watching this powder I am sure one of the 2 either the radiant church or the Royal family is responsible for this disease . "
Amber smiled as he thanked them and spoke, "Thanks for this valuable information, I will imdiately and personally take you guys to North-frontier domain so that you can et our Lord John . "
Amber then turned to the ghost and spoke, "Bring the powder in a safe container, I will be eting Commander Marsh . Make preparations for my leave . "
"Ok, Sir . "
The Ghost then turned to Ena and Binz, "Princess Ena and Lordship Binz please follow and bring your n, we will be shortly leaving . "
Ena and Binz nodded as they followed the spy and left for their guest house .
Ena asked Binz as she left Amber’s office and reached the guest house, "What do you take of think of this battle?"
Binz thought a bit gave his opinion, He spoke with a grave expression, "A massacre I suppose . This reminds of the Magician units riding with the Dragon knights and massacring the elite units by the scores of thousands when things ca to shove for the royal family against the Demons or Dwarves . However, maintaining those Dragon Knights takes up a lot of money and resources . So it has its pros and cons . While training a Dragon Knights takes at least 15 years . As far as these new weapons are concerned, I reckon they are on way cheaper side as compared to the Dragon Knights and at the sa ti they are quite effective . As an Elf, I abhor these weapons as they claim the life of nature as well as witnessed earlier . However, I guess we have to be flexible if we want to survive . On the brighter side, it’s good that we allied with Lord John since he could beco our biggest ally in the future . "
Ena smiled and asked, "What about that General we t earlier?"
Binz smiled as he thought of Amber, "Young, talented, full of energy and quite aggressive, has a lot of blood on his hands, however, his eyes are clear which indicates that he has only killed people on the battlefield or the ones who he presus have done bad to the society, maybe so bandits . "
Ena spoke as she observed sothing previously, "You were quite cautious around that spy, what about him?"
Binz smiled as he rembered so of his n, "It’s better if I don’t speak, he has the eyes of a person who has taken an oath to do anything which includes good and bad . Like a knight when he voluntarily gives his oath to a lord . Well, we shouldn’t be bothered about them . We need to leave this warzone as soon as possible . "
Ena was quite angry as she saw that Binz was avoiding her questions left and right, "What about the people who will be affected by this disease?"
Binz sighed and spoke, "We can’t do anything about it, Princess . We need to leave . The most we can do is give them the Holy water of Raven Tree which I bought in case of an ergency as they research it . "
Soon Amber t Marsh in his chambers,
Amber sighed as he spoke, "There is bad news . "
Marsh, "What is it?"
Amber smiled and gave him a small pouch of the Black Death powder, "It’s these powders, as suspected by our n, there is a big conspiracy lying around this withdrawal by General Irwin . This powder is related to the disease of Black death . I think you might have heard about it, right?"
Marsh was quite surprised as he asked, "Is our information correct?"
Amber sighed and spoke, "Yes, reaffird by the Elves . Those with low magic levels will be affected by it so it ans, most of our army and civilians except our Magic Knights . I will be leaving imdiately with a small team . You will have to take control of my n and yours as well . "
At this ti after the battle ended, Eanred was focusing on his crystal ball as he finally saw a vision,
In the vision, he saw the country completely in flas with a smiling face of John who was seated on a throne with a crown on his head and all of his ministers bowing to him . He saw the big armies of 100,000 n dying to the unknown weapons against John’s n . He saw the visions at lighting speed . At last a bigger civil war erupted when The Royal family decided to act against Duke Rose and set off a wave of separation in the kingdom when the Royal family was fighting at 3 fronts unexpectedly . The king had shocked face as it seed that soone had betrayed him at the end . At this sa ti, all the dragon magic crystal which were lying near Eanred were used up and his vision ended .
Eanred roared as all the dragon crystal ended, "Damn it . I was this close . Anyway, I imdiately need to inform his majesty about this vision . It seems I was finally able to view sothing, but I guess it was not related to the fate of North-frontier City but it was more related to the fate of Aelius Kingdom . It seems that the Count is planning to secede and beco a king . From the looks, it seems it was his plan to provoke us so that we attack him . "
Eanred sighed as he murmured, "I wished we could have waited till today before we made a move on that count . From the looks, it seems he is hiding frightening weapons and hence his provoking remarks continuously . "
Currently, at the Radiant Church, the fifth Cardinal Rene saw the image from the rune when Johnson had died, He shook imdiately as he saw the massacre of Templar which was done by General Anak and his n .
He looked to his subordinate Templar and gave him imdiate orders, "Call for an ergency eting, the situation is serious . Tell them Johnson is dead and has sent his rune before he died . "
"Yes, Milord . "
