Age of Adepts [Book 2]

Chapter 240 Conspiracy

The bedroom door opened and a gentle noble lady walked in with soft steps.

"Daphne, it's time for you to rest!" The lady walked over and hugged her shoulder, pulling her over to the large, delicate bed, "Get some rest. We still have to go to the palace tomorrow morning!"

Daphne sent her mother away with reassuring words before letting out a sigh. Once she closed the door she turned around, only to see a strange pair of ghostly green eyes staring her in the face.

Leaf lightly put the young, slim girl in the nightdress on her soft bed. She turned and said, "I have hypnotized her. She won't wake up until tomorrow morning. Hurry up and do what you want to do!"

A tall figure walked out from the darkness in the corner of the room and walked silently to the bed.

He lightly lifted up the girl's nightdress and stopped when her white waist was exposed.

Greem extended his right index finger and quickly drew a strange fire rune on the girl's stomach. The entire rune flashed and radiated an evil crimson light. It faded two or three seconds later, disappearing into the girl's stomach.

"It's done! "Greem put his hand down and closed his eyes to sense for the fire rune within the girl before nodding in satisfaction, "Let's return!"

Leaf deftly tidied the girl's nightdress and covered her in the soft velvet blanket. She then turned and leave.

They silently snuck out of the mansion. Greem turned back and took one last look before turning into a dark alley. He let out a soft sigh before pulling his hood up, covering his face and merging back into the darkness.

This was the power that a diviner possessed!

The same radiant knight, and the only way he could think of dealing with him was how to kill the knight in a direct confrontation. But in the hands of the powerless Diviner Mas, he could use odd and unique ways to solve the problem.

Such as using an opponent's relatives to draw them away at the crucial moment. In doing so the dangerous battle could be avoided!

Lions and tigers can only talk with their fangs and claws, but a fox was so much more sly.

Greem finally understood how Diviner Mas was able to survive right beneath the noses of the witcher-knights.

The reason Mas was willing to contact him was probably because he saw benefit to be gained through the power of fate. There was no way he could have obtained the fundamental magic books from the Great Adept!

Due to the difference in planar laws, these books were not completely suited for the casters of this plane. However, with a system for reference, they could save hundreds of years of uncertain experimentation. Perhaps, with their current knowledge and power, they could easily construct an advancement system in a mere hundred or two hundred years that completely suited the casters of this plane.

But how would this affect Greem in any way?

Why would it matter if these casters chose to continue serving under Great Adept Sarubo, or started trouble by choosing to go independent?

Perhaps it was because both parties had needs that could be fulfilled by each other, while having no direct clash of interest. Diviner Mas was willing to cooperate fully with Greem and even he had to pay a price in doing so.

Greem was sure that the powerless old man would instantly vanish from his sight if he ever thought of killing him and he would never see Mas again. What came next would most likely be an endless pursuit from the leaders of the witcher-knights.
