Inside the castle, Head Maid Mana walked out of the main hall and pulled down a luxurious curtain that was covered with tassels to prevent the other servants from peeking into the hall.
As soon as Mana stepped out of the hallway, a servant approached her and asked about the woman.
They all heard that the woman called herself "Tavier Shannon". They didn't know the woman in the golden armor, but they were familiar with the name "Shannon".
In the entire Goldspink Empire, only the royal family was allowed to use that name.
They also heard that the Shannon Royal Family was going to conquer Yamei Province. Could that be the woman in the hall?
No matter how the surrounding people asked, Mana didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just kept everyone out of the hall, leaving space for the people inside to talk.
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange.
Angor was sitting on a sofa while a broken knight's sword was placed on the table in front of him. The knight's sword itself was luxurious. It was inlaid with pearls and gems, and the craftsmanship was as exquisite as the Krakoks' craftsmanship. Judging from the blade, it was also very sharp.
It was a mortal weapon made by a master craftsman and a master weaponsmith, which would make it a valuable collector's item in the wizarding world.
Of course, the sword had to be in perfect condition first.
Unfortunately, the sword was broken into several pieces not long ago. The owner of the sword — Tavier Shannon, the seventh princess of Goldspink Empire, also looked at the sword and sighed.
Angor was also looking at the broken sword with a confused look.
Although the knight's sword was an ordinary item, it was thanks to it that Princess Shannon was able to enter Grue Town, which was surrounded by illusions, two hours ago.
The illusion outside Grue Town covered a large area. If he used an illusion that was too powerful, he would not be able to sustain it for long, and the cost would be calculated in the form of magic crystals every day. Therefore, he had only set up the most basic and simple illusion.
It could easily stop mortals, but it could easily break through the illusion if it encountered any offensive energy. Even Tulu could break through the illusion with his weak water summoning talent.
The reason why Tavier Shannon was able to enter was because of the fire element attached to the knight's sword.
These fire elements were usually hidden, but when Shannon entered the illusion, the illusion nodes triggered the fire elements and allowed her to step into the illusion. But at the same time, her knight's sword couldn't withstand the explosion of the fire elements and broke into pieces.
He stared at the sword for a long time because he was wondering why there was fire element on it.
He used Narda's Vision to inspect the sword and didn't find anything unusual.
The result was that it was a broken sword.
There was no sign of any elemental energy.
The fire element might have been used up when the sword entered the illusion, but Angor's Vision should have told him that something was wrong. But he didn't find anything.
The sword was made from unranked metals, which might be the best materials on the mortal world. But as an alchemist, Angor didn't care about them. Were these materials really qualified to allow the elements to attach to them?
Angor could not figure it out.
While Angor was looking at the sword, Tavier was talking to Leon. It was obvious that Tavier was treating herself with a lower status. Even though she was talking to a viscount, she didn't use a superior tone. She was here to ask for something.
"Viscount Padt, I've made my intentions clear. I wish to see a wizard." Shannon took off her helmet, revealing a young girl's face. However, her eyes were firm, and her armor made her look like a heroine.
Leon glanced at Angor, who was still staring at the broken sword. He didn't know how to answer Tavier's question.
Leon chose to remain silent.
"Goldspink Empire is on the brink of destruction. Only a wizard can save us." Tavier didn't respond.
He didn't want to see Yamei Province and Goldspink Empire destroyed, but he didn't want Angor to take the risk. As for whether or not the wizard Shannon was referring to was Eureka, there was no way she was talking about that.
"That wizard is called Angor, right? I've seen that wizard before, just two months ago. He saved my life. Can you please let me see him? I'm here to thank him. " Tavier picked up a white fur coat from the sofa. "That wizard gave me this. I want to see him."
Leon looked at the coat with a strange expression.
Angor was right in front of her. If she really saw Angor, why did she keep begging me?
Before Leon could ask more questions, Angor finally looked up. "You came here to ask me to help you deal with Heylan?"
Tavier was still talking to Leon when she heard Angor's question. She didn't know who this young man was, but since Viscount Padt didn't chase him away, she didn't ask him about it.
Shannon didn't know where the man was coming from, but she didn't know what he was talking about.
Angor sighed. The air around him began to gather and disperse like ripples in water. Soon, he turned into a middle-aged man who looked like a frustrated middle-aged man.
He used the same face when he met Tavier in Raven Province, so it was understandable that Tavier didn't recognize him.
"It's you?! It's really you, Mister Wizard! "Taannon was surprised to see Angor's disguise, but she quickly recognized him.
Angor glanced at Tavier's bulging belly and exposed chest. "You just gave birth to your child a month or two ago. Is it okay for you to travel around like this?"
Tavier's cheeks reddened. "I gave birth to a child on the second day after you sent me to Maynooth. It's been two months since then, and I'm not affected by it. "
Shannon was a little anxious to explain the purpose of her visit.
"How did you find this place?" Angor asked before she could say anything.
Back in Raven Province, he saved Shannon's life and placed her in Maynooth, the largest city in Broken Metal Province. How did Shannon find out who he really was when he used an illusion spell?
"I didn't recognize you, Mister Wizard. But when I returned to the capital, I told my father about what happened. He told me that the Morn Family sent him a message saying that a new talent appeared in Grue Town's Padt Manor. I heard that Mister Wizard was going to Yamei Province, so my father told me that you might be the talent from Padt Manor. "
"When I came here, I heard some refugees saying that Grue Town was haunted and no one could get in. So I thought it must be you, Mister Wizard. "
So it was a message from the Morn Family. Angor nodded. The Morn Family General saw it with their own eyes when Mara took him away from the Old Earth.
"If you're here to ask for my help against Heylan, you can leave now. I won't get involved," Angor said.
Taannon thought she had a chance since Angor was being nice to her. However, she didn't expect Angor to turn her down before she could ask for anything.
"Mister Wizard, Goldspink Empire is on the verge of collapse. If you don't help us, Yamei Province will fall, and our entire coastline will be destroyed. We'll never be able to turn the tide again."
"But what does that have to do with me? A kingdom's history is always changing through wars. I don't care who wins or loses. "
Tavier's eyes were already bloodshot. "You saw it yourself, Mister Wizard. So many civilians died in Heylan's hands. They're innocent people. They shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of war. "
"I know, Mister Wizard. People die in every war."
"But it's different this time. If Goldspink Empire doesn't do a good job, the royal family will be corrupted, and the people will be oppressed. But Goldspink Empire has always been strong, Viscount Padt. The royal family has always been kind to their people. There are still conflicts among the nobles, but they're not irreconcilable. "
Leon nodded subconsciously at Shannon's words.
Old Padt always praised the Shannon Family's way of doing things, which was one of the reasons why Angor gave Tavier a free ride back in Blackraven Province.
"If we were defeated in this war under fair circumstances, then that would be fine. But it's not fair. Every time Heylan won, it was because they had supernaturals on their side. We couldn't do anything to stop them, "Tavier explained with a sad look.
"Supernaturals? You mean the wizards? "Leon asked in surprise.
Tavier nodded. "Mister Wizard, Viscount Padt, do you know how General Morn died?"
Tavier didn't wait for an answer. "He didn't die in battle. He was killed in his home in Sandalwood."
Sandalwood was a military port in the North Oil Coast, where General Morn lived.
"His family, 17 people, were all killed. Their hearts were dug out. It was a horrible death. " Tavier paused for a moment before continuing, "Including all of Eton Morn's direct descendants who are still at the Old Earth."
Tavier didn't say much, but it wasn't hard to hear the cruelty and bloodshed hidden in her words.
"The Morn Family in the capital was enraged after this. That's why they sent out their troops.
There are three wizards behind the Morn Family, all of whom are direct descendants of Eton Morn. If they came back, it would be difficult for Father to face them because of General Morn's death. We have to kill the murderer to give the Morn Family an explanation. But we're just mortals, and we can't do that. That's why I volunteered to find you, mister. "
Angor kept his eyes on Tavier. She wasn't lying. Besides, the three wizards behind the Morn Family were Mara, Alan, and Aleen. The royal family's explanation made sense too.
But …
"Why are you so sure that General Morn's killer is a supernatural?"
