Novel Full Chapter 207 Breakthrough
Chapter 207 Breakthrough?
In a tavern in Millfall…
At that moment, a group of middle-aged men dressed like common laborers in dirty clothes sat around a wooden table full of glasses and bottles.
These men had cigarettes and glasses in their hands. Some were smiling, others were eating snacks, but all were cheerful as they talked about the moment of historical karma that Millfall was experiencing.
“The Irwin property thieves are men of the people. These are people who have done justice!” One of the drunken men said.
Another worker, who had spent the last few days in the countryside and only arrived in town this evening to learn of the matter, said. “This is the first time in my life that I’ve seen nobles suffer!
I thought I would never have the chance to see these scum suffer, but now everything has changed. With the actions of the Irwin Estate thieves, we know it’s possible.”
Typically, nobles would only lose to other nobles or magicians of a much higher level. But as far as they knew, those who had attacked the Irwin family weren’t much stronger than some of Baron Irwin’s guards.
Not only was the power of this group of bandits not high, but they had also managed to escape without leaving a trace!
This was the most important thing. By robbing the vault in that house, the group had truly made a great contribution to the society of people who had only lost and been oppressed.
Even though they gained nothing, they felt the weight of being oppressed daily by families like Irwin’s finally diminish!
‘If I knew who they were, I’d do everything I could to help them.’ Thought one of the men as he imagined all the groups like his supporting these thieves.
At the thought of a rebellion, a revolution, this man couldn’t help but shiver, moved but aware of how difficult it would be.
It was really hard to imagine a world where they would no longer have to suffer defeats!
This state had justice and a system of laws with predictable punishments. But as in some places on Earth, the rules of this world only apply to the mediocre.
Those above average had their own ways of turning the system in their favor and living outside the law.
On the last level was the royal family, the only power in this state where none of the laws applied to them, and only members of the royal family themselves could judge other members of the royal family.
These ordinary people couldn’t imagine equality, so for them, the defeat of a noble family and perhaps the emergence of a group that could terrorize these forces was something they could appreciate and support from afar.
In addition to this group, several others were discussing the same thing and celebrating in different situations around Millfall. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢
…
But even the Awakening Temple members in this city were talking about it, seeing it differently, of course, but still interested in the recent events in Millfall.
In one of the rooms on the upper level of the building, run by members of the Congregation of Revelation, a group of similarly dressed people were gathered, going about their business while chatting.
“Jasmine, have you heard the news circulating in this city lately?” A relatively young man with a green Magic Gem on his head looked at a woman on the other side who was there to collect the latest data on the awakenings from this temple.
Jasmine, a young-looking woman with pink hair, nodded approvingly. “How could I not have heard? When I checked into a local inn earlier, I overheard some of the staff talking about the robbery of the Irwin family.
It seems that this family lost a lot of resources in that incident.”
“Most importantly. No one knows who was responsible for it. The thieves got away with all the resources in that family’s vault.” This man commented with a twinkle in his eye.
Most of the members of this continental organization came from simple backgrounds. To see one of them excited about a robbery like this wouldn’t be so strange, despite their positions.
“And what does it matter to you, Mark?” Jasmine asked as she jotted down a particular name on a list she had with her.
‘Fuller…’
Her companions, who were in this city to collect data, also had documents from this Awakening Temple in their hands as they were doing their usual work within this organization.
“Because we have much to gain from it, Jasmine.” The man got right to the point. “I have a record of every single thing that has been stolen from that estate. If you help me, we can put out an alert for the possible trafficking of these jewels.
Whoever robbed House Irwin may have the equivalent of nearly 30,000 gold coins. If we find them, we can divide these resources equally.”
“Oh? So you want to rob the bandits?” She took her eyes off the plate in her hands to look into the man’s eyes.
“Why not? They’re thieves. Who will they complain to?” Mark smiled. “Besides, we can put these resources to better use than those thieves, Jasmine. With your skills and potential, you could quickly improve your position at the capital.
Think about it. The realization of your goals may depend on it!”
Jasmine dropped what she was holding to think about this proposal. With her powers within the Congregation of Revelations and her magical form, she had a way to reach the group of bandits. Not only that, if she could get her hands on those coins, she could easily get the resources to become a Mage and buy herself a higher position within that organization.
“Give me a day to think about it.”
…
While many ordinary people celebrated Vicente’s theft and others plotted against him, his party had covered more than half the distance between Millfall and Alpine Woodpecker Forest in the past few days.
In order to reach this point in their journey, they faced several minor challenges on their way to their current location, having to deal with magical creatures and even humans.
Two days ago, a group of bandits attacked them and nearly killed some of the men in the group. However, with their firearms, these people overcame the unprepared enemies and survived that challenge.
After that, they had been a little more careful on their journey, and this afternoon, they finally stopped to rest in a village on the way to their destination.
It hadn’t been in the group’s plans to make this stop, but after days of training on the road, Rory had reached the peak of the 1st stage and was ready to try his luck.
It wouldn’t be safe to do so in a forest region with the presence of magical creatures they didn’t know about, so immediately after Rory had informed Vice this morning, he had led the group to the nearest village on their way.
They were now in a small inn in that village while Rory had been meditating for over an hour in pursuit of his breakthrough.
But unlike what had happened with Vicente, Rory’s breakthrough didn’t take long. Within the second hour of his meditation, everyone in his group felt a sudden surge of power from the room he was in.
Rory had reached level 1 of the Acolyte stage!
