Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 812: One Last Word



Chapter 812: One Last Word

“What do I think? Why I’m looking into him is what you might be asking me as well?” Raze replied, looking at Jiyo. “In a way, it’s the same as Murkel. I’m following Bofan’s footsteps because I believe he’s a man like me.”

“Let me just say that the reasons for both of our actions are the same. Unfortunately, just like Murkel, I didn’t quite get what I was looking for from this conversation.”

Despite Raze’s answer, the smile and upbeat look on Jiyo’s face didn’t disappear.

“I believe the two of you are still on a similar path, and you’ve already strayed from Murkel. For one, Murkel never learned the Noctis Clan skills.”

“He didn’t seem to care that the other faction leaders were getting rid of everything related to the Noctis Clan, yet you’ve somehow managed to learn the lost skills. It makes me imagine you have more information than you’re letting on.

“Unfortunately, there’s no more I can tell you unless there’s anything else you’d like to ask?” Jiyo said.

Disappointment was the first thing that came to Raze’s mind. Coming here had just taught him more about Bofan’s character, but he didn’t care about another man’s goals. Bofan was just a means to get to his own.

Although Jiyo seemed to see some light in Raze, in Raze’s mind, he was closer to Murkel than he thought. Just doing what needed to be done for his own selfish ends.

“There’s nothing else?” Raze asked. “No great troubles that occurred in Bofan’s life? Nothing he ever discovered about the dimensions he was looking into? Or talk of a powerful artifact he needed to get his hands on?” S~aʀᴄh the NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

It still made no sense to Raze why Bofan stole the Golden Globe in the first place. If he knew the reason, it might help him figure out where it had been hidden.

“Those answers… there was a time in our history when it’s explained that Bofan became more cautious of those around him. However, everything else remained the same. There is one thing I heard when I was a child, but I don’t think it would amount to much.”

Raze nodded along, knowing that even something small could be important at this point.

“Bofan lived a long life as he had reached the middle stage. My father speaks of a time when he was a kid, around 7 years old. He had snuck around the clan building and overheard him talking.”

“As he ventured inside, he saw a strange round object in front of Bofan. It was slightly shiny and unlike anything he had seen before.”

The object that Jiyo described sounded much like what Raze had found in the Demonic Continent’s treasury.

“He never got to meet him apart from this, as Bofan had gone missing shortly after. He states that Bofan looked at him, walked over, rubbed his head, and said these words: ‘I can’t let this world be destroyed.’ Then he looked up. ‘This is the only way to save both worlds.””

It was the end of the conversation between Jiyo and Raze. Surprisingly, Jiyo didn’t ask much more, and neither did Raze. He just mentioned that if there was any time the new leader wanted to speak to him, he would be happy to help and learn more about Bofan himself. He wished Raze luck but left him pondering with a large thought in his mind.

Raze had been pacing around the library, not really paying attention to what he was doing as he pulled out books once in a while. Eventually, he got a large sheet of paper, dipped a brush in ink, and began writing everything he knew down.

He didn’t even realize that he was writing everything down in Alterian, but eventually leaned his head back and had a better view of the whole picture.

“I think I understand what happened,” Raze said to himself. “If we take what we’ve learned about Bofan’s character into account, I can somewhat make sense of the events.”

“Bofan ended up in the world of Pagna unexpectedly. He was researching the portals as a way to return back. However, just like his great mind in researching magic, he became fascinated with Pagna martial arts as well.”

“Along the way, he made friends, a group of people he cared about. But there’s one thing we still have to consider. Just like me now, there would still be others constantly coming to Pagna, and those who were there before.”

“Even if Bofan enjoyed his life in Pagna and didn’t wish to return, he would’ve wanted to find out the root cause of the portals.”

“From what Amir told us about the Bonum Society, we know that Alter wanted the Golden Globe desperately. Maybe Bofan already knew about the Golden Globe but was no longer looking for a way to return to Alterian.”

“But he was still trying to figure out why people were coming over. If Alter’s goal is what the Bonum Society thinks it is, then it could be that Bofan took it upon himself to hide the Golden Globe.”

“To make sure Alter didn’t get their hands on it, or other clans didn’t use it to cause the Divine beings to enter Pagna. But then the last line, about wishing to save both worlds.”

“We can guess that it means Bofan wished to keep Pagna and Alterian safe. In his mind, the way to do that was to hide the Golden Globe. He must have found out something that I don’t know the answer to yet.”

Raze then stood up and smirked at the piece of paper.

“Don’t worry, Bofan. I’m not trying to find the Golden Globe to upset the balance in these worlds. I’m just going to find it so I can kill the Grand Magus, so you have nothing to worry about.”

“As for the person most likely to know about the Golden Globe, well, that would have to be where I found your recorded device and the Noctis Clan’s techniques: The Neverfall Clan in the Demonic Faction.”
