[601-800] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 714: Assassination

Souta was in his sitting with monster orbs in his palm. He was slowly guiding the energy inside his body and used it to temper his muscle fibers. Then, he guides his energy and fused the two energy below his abdomen. After that, he carefully guides it around his monster orb.

Since this energy didn’t come from him, it would take him some effort to strengthen his monster orb and increase its capacity. One wrong move and he could damage his orb. Luckily, his [Star Veins] were no ordinary veins. It could safely circulate this foreign energy inside his body without damaging his organs. His energy output was a lot better thanks to the [Star Veins].

Best feram was harder to control compared to mana.

Suddenly, he felt someone standing in front of the door. He stopped his training and glanced at it before he said, “What is it?”

It was still four in the morning so why would Torkez come to his room? Unless something important happened.

“Souta, the envoy of Mine Valley died. We’ve just heard this news but the envoy’s corpse was found five kilometers away from our city. Someone is trying to frame us.” Torkez reported.

Souta was dumbstruck when he heard the report. He didn’t expect this to happen at all.

After his meeting with the envoy, he arranged a room so that he could stay there for a night. That’s what happened.

But he didn’t imagine that someone would kill him when he left Ekatoe City to report back to the Governor.

“Where did the incident occur?” Souta asked in a cold tone.

“In the northeast close to lake Nardi,” Torkez answered.

Souta wore his equipment and exited the room. He opened the window and flew into the sky. Like a meteorite, he shot through the sky heading in the direction where the incident happened.

Thundering sounds echoed as he flew without hiding his energy. The rumbling sounds woke all the experts in Ekatoe City. They felt Souta’s overwhelming aura within the sky above the city but it quickly disappeared.

The death of the envoy was a serious matter that he couldn’t ignore. Aside from the people within the city, Souta knew that he hadn’t offended the experts of the neighboring cities. If that was the case then maybe… The problem lies within the Mine Valley.

The letter of invitation of the Governor.

That sounds plausible. Maybe the opposing side just wanted him to become a scapegoat as the death of the envoy would surely anger the Governor of Mine Valley.

When Souta arrived at the scene, he saw that there were more than twenty agents of Astros. They were investigating the death of the envoy.

When they saw him, they quickly greeted him with respect.

Souta simply waved his hand and asked, “How is it? Did you find anything?”

“Lord, according to our investigation, Envoy Jeoban died a day ago when he left the city. His body was found by a traveling merchant and the merchant reported it to us.” One of the agents reported to him.

Jeoban’s carriage was hit by several spells. Then, Jeoban and his guards tried to fight but they were killed easily. They were only one slash on their neck so the battle must have ended quickly. They couldn’t even resist the strength of the attackers.

As for the lingering energy, the mana in the atmosphere already washed it. So they couldn’t record the energy signature of the attackers. Considering the changes in the density, the lingering energy wouldn’t last longer than before. It would dissipate faster so it was probably useless even if they arrive here yesterday.
