The Geared Immortal

Chapter 809 - Emil Vanatia Plan



Chapter 809

(Unedited)

The Kingdom of Xinglo exists in medieval times were even lights came from candles made of wax or animal fats. Even with the existence of mana in the air and magic, the people in this land did not bother to improve their lives using magic but instead focus on destructive spells that can kill each other.

And for this reason, the civilization in the Xinglo Kingdom has not grown and has been stagnant.

As Shin Jiao and his group enter the manor, they could see that everything in it is being lit by candles of different sizes. However, this kind of light could not produce enough illumination and is barely able to light the surroundings.

With a shake of his head, Shin Jiao muttered to himself.

"These primitive people have not improved even after thousands of years have passed, I guess this is because of those two 'gods'…"

His words were heard by Jason Mirk who felt a shiver running down his spine. He could not believe that the man behind him would say such a thing even after seeing the prestige of the manor. He wanted to retort but he dare not say anything towards the man for fear of gaining his ire.

Soon they reached the main hall and the people around them are still being attracted by the two women behind him.

No one dares to approach the two as people outside the manor are only low-level mages and no one is someone important amongst them. However, as soon as the group enters the hall, the beauty of the two has already gained too much attraction that people began pointing and asking about who they are.

A tall young man walked in front of the group and an ugly scowl could be seen on his face. That young man is Rakshid Hamas, the one that Shin Jiao sent flying without even touching him.

Although the young man is afraid of Shin Jiao he still has his pride and would not lower his animosity towards the newcomers.

"It seems that you people are truly gutsy to attend this party that my master has prepared. Aren't you afraid that I'm going to retaliate?" Rakshid Hamas said with a threatening tone.

Shin Jiao just looks at the young man and did not bother him. He scanned the hall and immediately noticed the figure of Emil Vanatia. He is currently surrounded by a few middle-aged and old men wearing the same white robe as him.

Emil Vanatia did not know that while they are discussing, Shin Jiao could hear what they are talking about.

"High Mage Emil, you said that there are people who you wanted to teach a lesson… I wanted to see who dare offend you." one of the old men with a level of a High Mage said with a smirk.

"Haha… Some fools would always try to go against our Great White Tower, but they would always end up suffering…"

"Why wait and do these things when you can fight them head-on… This is such a waste of time."

"Haha… Foolish, you should savor these little crafty things as it could provide more entertainment than fighting head-on like a brainless idiot."

"So you plan to expose the man as a fraud mage and take those two beauties, right? I wanted the younger girl…"

"Hey, Emil, you said you only want the most beautiful woman of the two… you can give the other one to us, right?"

"Alright, alright… all of you calm down. We should remove that pesky guy first. I think he is using a magical item. We just have to break through that magical item that produces a barrier around him." Emil Vanatia said with a smile.

"How can we do that?"

Emil Vanatia suddenly takes out a fist-sized orb with intricate design and emits an ominous aura.

"That… that's a magical item from those darkness worshippers. It could break through any barriers. How did you get your hands on that? I thought those things have been taken to the kingdom and are hidden by the Arch Mages…"

"Hahaha… I Emil Vanatia have some connection, and this has been with me ever since the war ended." Emil Vanatia said with a smirk.

"Wait a minute… that… that thing that our branch head is holding… He… He gave it to you?" an old man suddenly said while looking at Emil Vanatia with envious eyes.

But in their circle, no one dares to offend Emil as he is the most powerful in their group.

Let's see if that fellow could still be smug with his barrier gone.

With that in mind, Emil Vanatia and his group walk towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao frown as he scanned the item in Emil's hand. He could feel the same dark aura from the sibling coming from that thing. He could tell that the item has a connection with Im Ao and Im Jae.

"Do you know any item that looks like this…" Shin Jiao suddenly asked Im Jae while drawing something on her palm which slowly shows the object he is talking about.

She felt a bit shy at first, but when she saw that object, her expression changes.

"This… this is the barrier breaker. It could negate any types of magic barriers…" she said in a low shaking voice.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao knew that she recognizes the thing because it belongs to their faction. However, he is not worried, because his psychokinesis is not a barrier but an invisible force using his mind as an extension of his body.

It is different from energy-powered barriers. His psychokinesis could exist even without mana or any type of energy for that matter.

Soon, a crowd of old men in white behind a younger man arrives in front of Shin Jiao's group. Rakshid Hamas who already recognized his master immediately walks at the side of Emil Vanatia.

"Ah… Mage Jason Mirk, welcome! Welcome!…" Emil Vanatia said with a smile on his handsome face.

Jason Mirk is already nervous upon seeing the large group of High Mages, so when he was greeted, he was immediately stunned and was not able to reply.

"Thank… Thank you… High Mage Emil…" Jason Mirk said as soon as he recovers from his stupor.

When the group heard his stuttering voice, they all showed a contented smile on their faces. As High Mages their pride and way of looking down on these basic mages made them feel that they are above the rest of their peers and even others.

So when Jason Mirk showed a hint of fear and panic, they all look at him with a sneer.

However, when they saw the group behind him showing no reaction, it immediately showed dissatisfaction in their faces.

They are the leaders of the branches of the Great White Tower of Dugal in these parts of the land. How could they not be angry at the nonchalance of this group?

However, Emil Vanatia has a plan and they wanted to see how it would go, so they stop themselves from getting provoked by these people.

When that so-called barrier is down, then they could show these people who they are really messing with.

"Master Shin… How do you find the party so far?" Emil Vanatia said with a gentlemanly smile on his face.

"It is fine… But to everything in this place is too… primitive." Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

Those people who heard his words turned towards him and have a look of disdain on their faces. How could such a person say such a thing?

This manor has many different kinds of candles, and their intricate design is fascinating. Plus the design of the manor and its decoration is among the newest from the kingdom craftsmen guild, so how could that man say that everything is too primitive?

"Hahaha… I doubt that where you came from is nothing different from here." Emil Vanatia said with a challenging glare.

"It's up to you to think this way. Anyway, we are just here because of your invitation… In fact, I came here to watch the ceremony…" Shin Jiao replied while looking at the group of young children walking in the middle of the hall.

Emil and his group also saw the group and knew that the ceremony is about to begin. Because they needed to go through this before executing their plan, the group walked towards the tables prepared for them.

As soon as the High Mages from the Great White Tower of Dugal was seated, everyone turned silent.

A mage wearing a gray robe walks in the middle.

"The mage apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin… All the children of the village are presented before the High Mages for their aptitude test…" after the introduction and words from the mage, everyone turns to the crowd of children in the middle of the hall.

Some of them are silently cheering for their kin and some are praying earnestly for their child to be able to be accepted as an apprentice in the Great White Tower of Dugal.

Though in the area, there are also representatives from other Mage towers, they are not seated as the Great White Tower of Dugal has the priority in this ceremony.

Soon, the first child was called into the center.
