Chapter 776: Invitation

“The Hall of Power…” Jason said in a low voice.

“According to our research, the Hall of Power is a large country that ruled the entire Hall Plains a thousand years ago. They appeared on this land and taught people various skills to improve themselves.” Lindi said.

“The only problem is how they vanished in the annals of history…” Amanda said gloomily.

“There’s barely any record of the Hall of Power. It is strange, very strange considering that it is a large country that houses a god-level powerhouse. Even those fallen large countries in other lands are recorded but the Hall of Power…” Jason said as he closed the book in his hand and placed it on his back.

“Yeah, it seems that someone deliberately destroyed all the records about the Hall of Power. The only group that could destroy the Hall of Power is also a large country or any of those organizations that have gods.” Amanda narrowed her eyes.

It’s impossible for an organization without a god to destroy the Hall of Power.

“Then, the Imperial Family…” Amanda rubbed her chin.

“They should know a little bit about the Hall of Power,” Jason said.

“Yeah, they rose quickly after the Hall of Power disappeared. No matter how much you look at it, it’s impossible for them to appear as soon as the ruler of the Hall Plains vanished. They must have known that the Hall of Power was going to fall or maybe they are related to it.” Lindi speculated.

“Should we find the Imperial Family? They are in the middle of a war so I doubt that the royal bloodline will go out of their way to meet us, a stranger.” Amanda said.

“Even if there isn’t a war, meeting someone from the Imperial Family was hard. Those guards of theirs would immediately execute us on the spot. But we had a lead…” Jason said as he looked through his bag and took out another book. He showed the book to Amanda and explained, “The inheritance of the Hall of Power isn’t gone. Their subsidiary group inherited a fraction of their knowledge and went into hiding.”

Amanda reached out her hand and took the book.

Jason glanced at Lindi and continue, “Lindi and me, speculated that those subsidiary group who are under the Hall of Power changed their names. They hide themselves among the various overlord organizations in the entire Hall Plains. That book is a part of the inheritance that we unearth in our exploration.”

“[Divine Fire Circulation]…?” Amanda opened the book and skimmed the first few pages. “A technique to improve a person’s fire element mastery…? What it got to do with the Hall of Power?”

“The Hall of Power distributed a bunch of its skills to its branches before it got destroyed, and this [Divine Fire Circulation] is one of the skills passed down. I don’t know how many branches are still alive today.” Jason said. “That’s why we had to search the smaller organization first. The Imperial Family is out of our reach but the smaller isn’t.”

“Then we simply need to find anything related to it,” Amanda said.

“It’s not simple. Some of the branches have fallen and other people took the things from those branches and established new organizations. Some of those organizations didn’t even know that the techniques they used are from the Hall of Power. Some of them are even faking it saying that they got the technique from a destroyed organization when in fact they are that destroyed organization. It’s because they didn’t want others to find out the truth.” Jason explained. “That’s it’s not easy to investigate those organizations but it’s better compared to the Imperial Family.”

“Investigating this is risky. Some of those organizations will kill us if they knew that we are investigating the truth. Also, the one that destroyed the Hall of Power will surely not let this matter go away. After all, they did trouble themselves by erasing almost everything related to the Hall of Power. Are you sure you still want to investigate the truth with us?” Lindi said.

The half-destroyed stone monument. The carving was almost gone but Lindi and Jason could still guess that it was a part of the Hall of Power’s insignia.

The truth about the Hall Plains…

Amanda wanted to know it. It felt like she had gone back to the time when she was trying to find the clue about the Witch Clan. It’s making her a little bit excited.

“Let’s go!” Jason suddenly said.

Amanda and Lindi turned their heads warily.

“There’s someone here. Maybe, some people that involved in the war. We can’t involve ourselves with them.” Jason said as he packed all the things they had in his bag.

The three quickly left the area without making any sound. If they met any people from the other organizations that were waging war in the central region it only mean trouble. Currently, they didn’t have that kind of plan.

With Amanda’s strength, she could tell the number of people. There were seven people and most of their strength was just B-rank. She could easily eliminate them. Even Lindi and Jason could deal with them since they were both at Liquefying Realm.

The only problem was that if they killed them, the superiors of these people would be suspicious of why their subordinates suddenly disappeared when they patrolled here in this abandoned ruin.

…

Ekatoe City.

Alice was preparing herself to head to Bland City, the main headquarters of the Dragon City. Souta left everything to her decision and she told the Nine Heads about his words. She told them that it was impossible for him to return quickly. It would take a month or so before he could return.

She also told them that what Souta was doing was for the Mine Valley. He was out there trying to investigate the roots behind the Wingless Crow in White Line City. The Nine Heads understood this reasoning so they quickly have a meeting.

In the end, the Nine Heads decided to take Alice as Souta. After all, Third Head confirmed her strength when she helped them in attacking the White Line City.

They called Alice to the main base.

“I don’t know what they are hiding. To know it, I could only accept their invitation and head toward Bland City.”

Alice muttered as she looked in the mirror and fixed her clothes.

After that, she went toward Torkez’s laboratory. She knocked on the door gently and after a few seconds, she heard his voice.

“Come in.”

Alice opened the door and saw Torkez in his lab coat. It seems that he just finished his experiments about the parasitic essence eater.

“What makes you come here?” Torkez asked as he clapped his hands and asked his subordinates to prepare some coffee.

“No need. I will not stay here longer.” Alice waved her hand and dismissed the subordinates. She was just going to inform him about her departure so she would not stay here long.

“I received an invitation from the Nine Heads of the Dragon Council. I will go there in Souta’s stead so I want you to handle the matters of Astros while I’m away.” Alice explained.

“I see…” Torkez nodded and said, “Okay, leave it to me.”

Knock! “Lady Alice, Sir Torkez, Lady Eilish had returned.”

A voice sounded beyond the door. Alice and Torkez turned their heads in the direction of the door.

“It seems that there’s no need for me to take over,” Torkez said with a smile.

“It seems that way…” Alice nodded. She then stood up and said, “Sorry for bothering you, I’ll go now and meet Eilish.”

“It’s fine.” Torkez simply waved his hand.

Alice left the laboratory and quickly went to meet Eilish. When she saw Eilish, she was slightly stunned.

“You! That aura…?” Alice muttered as she stared at the undulating aura around Eilish’s body.

“Ufufu.” Eilish chuckled as she covered her mouth with her hand. “That’s right, I broke through the second shackles.”

She completed her breakthrough and finally reached the Two Shackles Realm. She had been stuck at One Shackle for a long time so when she received external help from a potion called Limit Breaking, she easily advanced to the next level. She was glad that she kept her achievement points in Athen’s Champion.

“It’s good that you’ve grown stronger. I will be assured to leave the Astros in your care.” Alice sighed in relief.

“What happened?” Eilish raised her eyebrows.

Alice explained that she was invited to Bland City. She would go there so someone has to take care of the matters of the Astros.

“Okay, I’m going to stay here for a while so you could go there without worry. I’ll take care of all the affairs.” Eilish said.

“Thanks. You can check all the recent files in the City Lord’s office.” Alice said.

After chatting with Eilish, Alice departed. She only brought two people with her. Although they weren’t strong, they were also not weak. Their strength was at the intermediate S-rank and high S-rank respectively. They would take care all the things that didn’t Alice’s concerns.
