?827 Chapter 827: Land of Chaos

After leaving the hall, Karyk couldn't help but feel a mixture of intrigue. The information he had just obtained was far more valuable than he had anticipated.

It was clear that there were powerful forces at play, manipulating the situation to their advantage. And the threads of this reached even his main targets, the Royals.

As he wandered through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, Karyk pondered over the implications of what he had learned and how he could use this to his advantage.

Although the pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, there were still missing gaps that needed to be filled.

Deep in thought, Karyk made his way to the mansion's library. It was a vast room filled with books, scrolls, and ancient manuscripts. Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion wasn't burned.

Although the information here couldn't be as comprehensive as what Arkam was going to get him, he still preferred to know as much as he could, especially if there was a possibility for him to understand more about the Chaotic Beasts.

As he searched the shelves, his gaze fell upon an old time with a worn leather cover in the corner most shelf. There was no title on the cover of the book and it appeared like an insignificant book, but that's what made Karyk intrigued.

He pulled out your book and opened it, finding the title to be on the first page instead. The title read, "The Celestial Dynasty."

"Is this the detailed history of the Empire? But from what I know, the Empire isn't called this." Curious over the title, Karyk started going through the book. Carefully turning the aged pages, Karyk continued.

As he went through the pages, he was slightly surprised. The content of the book felt more like a story and less like reality, because nothing that the book mentioned was the reality of the Dynasty.

The book didn't mention Elzerians at all. It didn't mention the invincibility of the Royals either. It was as if the book was talking about completely different people... An ordinary civilization. In fact, he wouldn't have found it hard to believe if someone told him that it was a book mentioning his own world before the rise of the era of magic. However, at times, the book did feel familiar since it mentioned the Chaotic Sea.

Karyk's curiosity grew as he delved deeper into the pages. However, from the tenth page onwards, he found every other page to be completely blank.

Karyk's brows furrowed in confusion as he turned each blank page, hoping to find some hidden message or clue. But to his disappointment, there was nothing but empty space staring back at him. It was as if someone had intentionally removed the content from those pages.

Feeling frustrated, Karyk pondered the significance of these missing pages. Why would someone go to such lengths to erase the information? Was it really someone putting their imagination to work or was there really a civilization like that?

If there really was an ordinary civilization, then how did they gain immortality to the point that they could even stand against the gods? Moreover, the book didn't mention anything about beasts.

In fact, according to the book, the Capital of the Celestial Dynasty was in the area that was now known as the forbidden area of the Elzerian Empire. It was the place that was now called the Land of Chaos.

There were so many things about this book that didn't make sense and he had no method to confirm the contents of the book. At this moment, he truly wished for Arkam to be here.

Since he couldn't wait for Arkam's return, he decided to seek his answers from someone else.

He closed the tome and carefully placed it in his spatial storage.

As he left the library and made his way back through the dim corridors of the mansion, Karyk's thoughts were consumed by many questions.

Walking through the silent corridors, he returned to the prison cell where he had kept one of the assassins alive.

The assassin had lived for a long time and worked in the field of intelligence, which made him the best person to ask these questions since he can't tell anyone else. Unlike with others, he didn't have to close the mouth of this guy.

Stepping into the cold cell, he found the assassin bound and weakened, still sitting next to his lifeless friend.

As soon as he heard the sound of footsteps, the assassin raised his head, his eyes showing a trace of concern as well as hope. He had already told Karyk everything. He didn't know if Karyk was here to release him or to kill him.

"I'm here to grant you freedom. But before that, I have one more question."

"What do you want to know?" The assassin asked, his hope reigniting. Follow current s on Noᴠel Fɪre.net

"The Celestial Dynasty... Tell me everything you know about it." Karyk stated.

"The what dynasty?" The assassin looked at Karyk in confusion, as if this was the first time he had heard about this.

"Are you sure you want to keep secrets from me?" A knife appeared in Karyk's hands as he stepped forward. "Now that I think about it, your friend might be missing you. If you really want to be with him, I won't mind sending you there."

"T-there is no Celestial Dynasty! I only know about Elzeria! If you're using this trick to kill me, then do you really need it? Just kill me! You don't have to use such excuses!"

Although scared, the assassin stuck to his point. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any Celestial Dynasty.

Karyk observed the assassin's expressions. From the looks of it, he had a feeling that the man before him wasn't lying. But for him to never even hear about it, was this truly a fake story? Why else would it be unknown to the people here?

He swung the knife. The assassin closed his eyes, only to be stunned when he didn't feel any pain. He opened his eyes, even more surprising to find that he was freed of the chains.

"You'll be coming with me." Karyk told the man. "That is, if you don't want to die."

"Where are we going?" the assassin asked, having a bad feeling about this.

"To the land of Chaos." Karyk smiled.
