Chapter 325: Azure Federation

Charles turned his gaze towards Edith and asked.

?

"What is the clue?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Edith's face as she glanced at the Holem's Crown for a moment and then spoke.

"When I was doing the divination two days ago, I suddenly entered a unique enlightened state and saw strange black dots on the black page."

Upon hearing her words, Charles's face suddenly turned serious.

"Strange black dots?"

"Yes, I have got a vague feeling that our future self is also trying to give some clue. Four black dots appeared on the blank page." Edith replied.

"Morse Code?" Charles raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In truth, the Ghost Organization mostly used this method to convey secret messages.

But he didn't expect that even his future self would use this method to give him some clues!

At that moment, the Holem's Crown suddenly let out a dim red light and spoke.

"Although I've no idea what you guys are talking about, I can tell that your future self seems to be wary of someone. Otherwise, he could've used a Runic Language or some other language to send the message. But he didn't. This shows that someone is definitely interfering with your divination."

Upon hearing those words, Charles and Edith glanced at each other and muttered in unison.

"The World's Will!"

"Yes. So, you guys should discuss this matter in your Inner World from now on. Although this 'Seven Leaf' magic array circle can block the World's Will senses, it's better to be extra careful." The Holem's Crown added.

Meanwhile, Charles nodded his head, sat on the concrete floor, and entered his Inner World.

Edith also sat down, entered Charles's Inner World, and soon appeared in front of a lava pool.

She then glanced at Charles and soon widened her eyes.

"You already killed the Red Prince?"

"Yes, but he was just an avatar," Charles responded solemnly and soon asked.

"What does 'H' represent? Is this the only clue?"

'H' was the secret code that his future self send him in the form of the Morse code method.

"Yes. Currently, I'm trying my best to look into that particular timeline." Edith responded with a nod.

"Excellent." A pleased smile appeared on Charles's face. Then, he thought of something and soon spoke.

"From now on, I'm planning on staying in the Fire Elemental Plane and focus my attention on comprehending the spell models. If I stay here, I'll only get 5 to 6 years. But staying in the Fire Elemental Plane gives me double the amount of time. As long as I utilize this opportunity, I can indeed reach the realm of Pseudo-Legendaries before my death date."

'Escaping my death is almost impossible with my current strength. I need to reach the next Rank and then think about my next plan.' He muttered inwardly.

At that moment, Edith suddenly recalled something and spoke.

"Charles, the Griffon family is still forcing Rhea to delay the construction of the new magic tower. If we don't back her up, things might get more serious." She paused for a moment and then added.

"Jessie also said that the Kings' Guards are not even letting them meet Rhea nowadays. She fears that something bad might happen to Rhea if we didn't take any action."

Her words surprised Charles.

He then creased his eyebrows and asked.

"How is Jessie? Did she recover from the previous incident?"

"Yes. So, what is your decision? Should I interfere?" Edith asked, making her face solemn.

"What's there to ask? Kill the Kings' Guard captain and let them know who the real boss is. I want you to take full control over the Royal Palace and replace all those rebellious guards and servants with new ones. As for the Griffon Family, do not antagonize them for now." Charles said, waving his hand casually.

After discussing for a few more minutes, Charles and Edith silently left his Inner World and opened their eyes in the underground basement hall.

Then, Charles turned his gaze towards the Holem's Crown and spoke.

"Take care of everything, Mr. Runeth. I'll be staying in the Fire Plane from now on."

Saying so, he started walking towards the opposite wall and soon arrived in front of a green gem-like leaf.

Then, he chanted a few words in the English language and disappeared from the underground basement hall.

…

The Edge port, Mist Territory, Azure Federation.

The Edge port was located in the tropical seacoast, where the vegetation was thick. Most of the port cities were built on the rivers, improving trade connections to the inland towns.

The Edge Port city was one such place. A harbor was laid down at the bay, and several custom houses were spread along the quayside. Out in the bay, towers and walls protected the boats from ravages of the sea and directed the river's flow away from the moorings. The corner towers were also placed in a defensive position against attacks from the ocean.

It was around 9 A.M.

Two people entered the city through the northern gate and walked on the main road.

One was a black-haired woman in her late twenties, while the other was a deep-blue-haired young man. Currently, both wore formal suits and looked more like professional Mystics of Azure Federation.

Although their facial appearance didn't match the ones of locals, they acted as if they had been in this Federation for more than a decade.

While walking, Destiny Lady glanced at the nearby fish stalls and soon turned towards a particular tall towering building.

No, it looked more like a skyscraper!

"That's the Azure Explorers' Headquarters." She couldn't help but get anxious inside.

During the past two months, they flew across many kingdoms and forests, visited different kinds of people, and gathered information about the Azure Explorers' Organization.

Unlike the other Explorers' organization, this one was an Azure Federation's naval branch!

This organization's main aim was to gather more information about the mysteries hidden in the Endless Sea and explore them.

People from the Azure Federation have been adventuring the Endless Sea during the past few millenniums and trying to reach the other end.

But none succeed.

Although most of them believe that the Edhen was spherical, more than 1/4th of the humans still believe that the Edhen was flat land.

But what's more surprising was that most of them belong to the Azure Federation members!

So, to prove the truth to the masses, this Federation was constantly sending Mystics and Mages to the Endless Sea and exploring the Endless Sea.

Unfortunately, they still hadn't crossed the outer region yet.

The harsh environment in the deep sea was so high which could even kill a Legend Rank Mystics in minutes, making their every attempt meaningless.

But there was another strange rumor about this Endless Sea, making every explorer continues their pursuit.

It was a rumor about a lost continent that existed on the other side. Not only that, but many believed that the Myth Tree was in this Lost Continent!

It was a mysterious tree that could grant immortality, wealth, and immeasurable knowledge!
