73 Master and Disciple 1

"Former Disciple!!!!!".

Everyone got surprised as they heard what Ceaser said. Even the Duke showed a shocked expression as he heard Ceaser words. After all, He was almost years old and lived most of his life in the kederawem kingdom, and yet, he never heard about Ceaser having a disciple at all.

In fact, most people thought that Ceaser was someone who didn't care about finding a disciple and having a successor but was mostly interested in doing magic experiments and more research.

Duke(Adomonius): 'I never heard about this disciple that Lord Ceaser is talking about which means only one thing. Any records about him have been erased and don't exist anymore. It may even be a taboo to talk about him since father never told me about this mysterious disciple'.

Salazar's father died a hundred years ago of old since he was a 7th level Mage and so could only live up to two thousand years and in all of his life, Salazar never heard him talk about Ceaser's disciple.

When the duke and the others were thinking about Ceaser and his mysterious disciple, he then clapped his hands and interrupted their thinking by saying, "For now, we need to leave and head to the capital. I will tell you more about this later. Edvard, how about you take them back to the Airships and I will follow you after a moment".

Everyone heard Ceaser's words and nodded as they started all going back. Diss who heard him started having some tears in his eyes as he thought about running back again.

Finally, When Lorra and Aiden were about to leave they turned back at Ceaser who seemed to look at the sky at the direction where Aiden blew the armors.

"Grandfather..."

Aiden also looked at Ceaser and then said to him with a serious tone, "Ceaser, you need to explain everything about this".

Ceaser didn't turn pr answer at all. He only nodded at him and continued to stare at the sky.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*

Both Aiden and Lorra turned and left and tried to catch up with the others. The only ones who remained on the roof are Ceaser, Vito, and Salazar. Salazar didn't want to ask first as he understood that this is a delicate subject for Ceaser.

Vito who already knew about all of this didn't want to also say anything. Finally, It was Ceaser who talked first and said with a cold voice, "Seems to me that he wants to continue from where we stopped one thousand years ago".

Vito heard that sighed and then looked at Ceaser's back but then remembered something and turned at Salzar and asked him, "You must also be curious Admonius boy. after all, I believe that it's the first time that you hear about this".

AN: [The duke's full name is Salzar Admonius Icidia but Vito likes to call him Admonius boy]

Admonius: "Yes, It's the first time that I ever hear about this. In fact, I can't understand how such an important thing as Lord Ceaser's disciple could be forgotten and hidden like this".

Vito: "Well you were born five hundred years ago so it's impossible for you to know about it. He doesn't exist anymore in any records and I doubt your father would've talked about it since all the nobles of this kingdom and the king who knew about it made an oath to God to never talk about it".

Admonius became even more surprised as he heard Vito's words. Making an oath to God is something very important and powerful in the Sarna world.

In the whole western continent and even the Sarna world, people only pray to one God. This God doesn't have any statue or figure but only known by his great ninety-nine names that represent his perfection and power. Even the church of light in the Lamang empire is nothing but the extremist branch of the same religion.

Making an oath to God is using one of his names and mana and then promising in front of others. It's also known whoever breaks this oath, God will curse this person for eternity until he dies.

That's why such heavy oaths using God's names can't be used lightly. Admonius who understood that couldn't believe how much resolve and his father and the other nobles had to take such a powerful oath.

But all of this made him even more puzzled as he couldn't understand why all of this happened. He wanted to know what did this disciple do that even his name has been erased from history.

"Why did all of the nobles do that, What did Lord Ceaser's disciple do so much that any records about him have been completely erased?".

Vito sighed and when he was just about to answer, Ceaser's interrupted him and answered on his stead.

"He killed his fellow disciple, poisoned his master, caused a mass genocide and many other things that are much more frightening".

When Admonius heard that, his face turned pale as he heard about it. Such things happened and he never heard about it made him understand why this disciple is hidden and never mentioned.

Compared to his great master known as the hero of the kingdom, his disciple is nothing but scum and dirt that shouldn't exist at all. Ceaser then finally turned and looked at the Dike as he said, "Duke, please don't tell anyone about what happened today in the city. Can you fulfill this wish of the old man standing in front of you?".

Admonius couldn't answer as he looked at Ceaser's eyes that showed loneliness and sadness. Ever since Admonius met Ceaser, it was the first time that he ever saw him show such an expression.

It was like Ceaser became a normal old man that was sad about his life and all other things. Admonius never thought that he would see this great man show this expression. Admonius nodded and answered him.

"What are you saying, Lord Ceaser. I would never dare to say anything about this incident. I will make sure that no soul will hear about this from me and I would take this secret with me to the grave".

Ceaser smiled a little and then started laughing a little as he went back to his normal self and said, "Hahahaha, You don't need to die for that".

Both Vito and the Duke sighed and smiled as they looked at Ceaser who became normal again.

"Well then Admonius boy, it's been good meeting you but we need to go now. We will again soon in the marriage ceremony".

"Of course Lord Vito. I will make sure to attend the party together with both of you. I will also start gathering more information about the things happening on the north border. I believe that it has something to do with the things happening in the capital".

Ceaser: "Okay then. I'm counting on you".

"Of course. Lord Ceaser, Lord Vito, I hope both of you have a safe trip".

Ceaser who heard that nodded and then started flying in the sky and he was followed by Vito who also started flying and also following him. The Duke who said goodbye started thinking about what is coming in the next few months, 'Seems like something big is going to happen after this'.

Vito: "I hope that you're ready this time Ceaser. you can't let him go away like that time".

Ceaser who is flying back to the ship with Vito and heard his words and couldn't help but laugh as he replied, "It's really rare for you to be this serious. You better be worried about your disciples leaving you and not me".

"My disciples are scattered on the continent like idiots and searching for the thrill, adventure, and challenge. I don't need to be worried about them".

"Ohhhh, trying to hide those feelings, aren't you?"

When Vito heard those words, his face started reddening a bit and he felt a little embarrassed, "What are you talking about you crazy Mage!!!".

Ceaser grinned as he continued to talk and taunt Vito, "Well, I heard that lately, the Snake Saint didn't show at the summer festival in the Agung empire for the last few years and even some people said that they heard him talking about a Windy sword bastard who injured him. I wonder who is he talking about, hmmm??".

Vito became even more embarrassed and didn't dare to answer back as all these years, Vito was never able to win Ceaser in a fight of words so the only thing he could do was curse him in his mind.

Vito: "Okay okay. Then tell me this. are you going to explain to Lorra about that thing? She has the right to know about it".

Ceaser face turned serious as he heard Vito's words and the silence lasted for a few moments there but then Ceaser sighed and answered, "I will think about it".

"Good then. I hope you're gonna be able to deal with all of this my friend".

Ceaser laughed as he heard Vito's words and said to him, "Hahahaha, I'm gonna need you to help me with that old friend. After all, I'm not young anymore and I need strong people like you to help me a lot".

Vito hmphed as he heard that and answered back, "As if you will ever ask for that. You're too proud to do that. In all of those years, Edvard and I always tried to help but you just left us to deal with the shit you caused".

Ceaser started smiling even more as he heard Vito's words and replied, "Don't be like that. I'm sure that you're way stronger than me right now. You can even kill me in few seconds right, Mister Golden Wind Saint".

Vito who heard him say that scuffed and didn't care about the compliment as he replied back immediately, "Then what about you? People of this time may now you as the great 'Magic Professor' but those old fogies like us and still living may know the real you. 'The Napping Devil', the only person who was able to kill an eight thousand years old Saint Mage while being just a new half-Saint Mage at the age of four hundred".
