Chapter 2000: Eyeing My Wife

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

“This is the mansion of one of the military generals. I heard that all 100 to 200 of them died, leaving only the general locked up in prison. Last night, after hearing about this incident, he knocked his head on the wall and died.” Mag and the rest stood on a rooftop as they looked out at a distant large courtyard that had been burnt to the ground.

“There’s an evil aura there. A very strong evil aura,” Irina said seriously as she squinted.

“You can see the evil aura too?” Merante looked at Irina in shock.

“Do you think this is a special ability that only the Ghost Clan has?” Irina pressed her lips together.

“It’s just that it is too rare for people to have this ability.” Merante shook his head. He looked back at the burnt mansion, and said seriously, “I can confirm that this was done by the same person that wiped out the Twilight Forest tribes. They have the same source of evil aura. However, he was probably in a rush when he committed the crime, so he could only absorb part of the resentment and souls. If we could enter the ruins, we should be able to get more information from the spirits.”

“There are guards there. Look, two there and one hiding on the roof. And all around, there are other guards. When something like that happens, they will definitely increase patrols, with tens of patrolling troops overlapping. Any sound will attract them over. If you’ve got what it takes, you can go over and take a look,” Mag said calmly.

“They’re just a 7th-tier and two 6th-tiers. Easy.” Merante smiled, took a step out, and disappeared into the night like a phantom.

In no time at all, the three knights at the rooftop and the distant entrance fell into a trance. In the middle of the ruins, an inconspicuous spell formation appeared, making it difficult for anyone to see what was happening inside.

“Stealth and deception are one of the talents of the Ghost Clan,” Noya explained with a smile proudly.

“Just this?” Irina smiled.

“This is already very impressive.” Noya nodded.

“Kid, you’ve got to see the world.” Irina shook her head, and did not speak further.

If it were not because Noya could not defeat her, he would definitely say something.

Not long later, the inconspicuous spell formation within the ruins disappeared, and Merante returned.

The three knights also returned to their senses. They looked around, puzzled, and did not seem to have realized what happened to them.

“How is it?” Mag asked.

“It was the same black-robed person as the one in Twilight Forest. I couldn’t see his face clearly, but his habits and silhouette are exactly the same. On top of that, he set up the place to frame the orcs,” Merante said with a grave expression.

Mag nodded slightly. It was exactly as he thought. “In that case, let’s start looking for him. Perhaps he’s still in Rodu.”

“Okay.” Merante brought out the septaria oracle once again. This time, it was slightly different. He added a soul fragment into the septaria oracle.

“This is a soul fragment from one of the victims. It is filled with resentment, which will allow us to trace the evil aura back to the origin and lock our search boundaries on the man in black,” Merante explained.

“That is a very advanced skill.” Mag could not help but praise it.

As the soul fragment entered the septaria oracle, a twisted ghastly face appeared on the septaria oracle, and a blood-red light started darting around within the septaria oracle.

On top of that, the faint flickering golden glow started moving.

Three minutes later, Merante looked up. He shook his head slightly, and said, “I’m afraid he was alarmed and left Rodu.”

“Is there a way to conceal his evil aura and go into hiding?” Mag asked.

“Theoretically, this should not happen. The septaria oracle is a divine object, and it is very sensitive to the evil aura. Right now, with the resentment, it would definitely detect the evil aura unless he was already so powerful he could ensure that he would not leak out any evil aura at all.” Merante shook his head.

“It would be troublesome if he started to play hide-and-seek.” Mag frowned. He thought that there would be a chance to find Josh after coming to Rodu, but this fellow had become even craftier than before.

“The closer he is, the better the septaria oracle will be able to detect him. For the next two days, we will be going around the different towns near Rodu to see what we can find,” Merante said.

“Alright. Do be careful. If there’s any trouble, you can look for me at Saipan Tavern.” Mag nodded. Splitting up could narrow down their search targets.

After watching Merante and Noya leave, a frowning Irina asked Mag, “Say, what do you think Josh is doing all this for?”

Eyeing my wife. Mag looked at Irina, who was still as elegant and beautiful even though she had changed her appearance to look like a human being. He thought to himself, He probably got way too ahead of himself, and wants to become the king and control everything.”

“He had been enduring for so many years. Although he’s the second prince, he was still a very strong contender for the throne. Even Sean would not have the confidence of defeating him. Doing this suddenly at this time would disqualify him. This is bewildering.”

“Maybe my death threat had triggered him.” Mag thought that this was the only probable reason.

“In that case, what else should we do?” Irina asked Mag.

Mag smiled. “Go home, sleep, wait for news, and avoid alarming the enemy.”

“Look, that tavern seems not bad.”

“That’s not very appropriate… The two kids are still at home…”

“They should be asleep. I’ll set up a defense spell formation outside the tavern so no one can enter.”

“Alright, let’s eat and drink a little.” Mag nodded.

Two hours later, the two returned to the tavern, slightly intoxicated. The moment they opened the door, they saw a resentful Amy, who was at the table with her arms akimbo, and a sleepy Annie.

The four pairs of eyes met, and the atmosphere was awkward.

“Father, Mother, did you two go out for good food behind our backs again?!” Amy said begrudgingly.

“Er… we actually only went for a stroll… burp…” Mag was already trying very hard to control himself, but he could not stop the burp.

“Yes, we went to have roasted lamb shanks. It was delicious,” Irina said with a smile.

“Ah… you’re too much. You went to eat roasted lamb shanks without us. I’m going to cry…” Amy pouted, and tears started welling up in her eyes immediately.

“Meow, meow~” Ugly Duckling stretched lazily, meowing casually as a form of support.

Mag smiled and went up to Amy. He stroked her head, and consoled, “Alright, if you want to eat, I’ll make it for you right now. Spicy crayfish, roast mutton, roast beef kebab, grilled fish… whatever you want to eat.. Name it away.”
