Chapter 172: Immortal Day

Seeing the man, both Kaya and Behemoon were surprised and couldn't help but wonder what he was doing here?

He is probably one of the most mysterious people in the entire Buraford Kingdom. Who even they can't see through. Their magic senses kept telling them that the person standing before them only has the cultivation of the Magic Warrior stage, but their intuition told them that there is more to him than meets the eye, and they are sure of it. Otherwise, how can a Magic Warrior stage expert appear out of nowhere without getting detected by their senses?

Julis was also surprised and looked at the man. He had been standing outside the door for ten minutes now and felt the powerful magic sense scanning his body, letting him know that both of them were inside and already noticed his presence.

On the other hand, He can't understand when did this man arrive?

'Was I so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't detect his presence?'

Behemoon lightly snorted

"Mister Lopar, It's quite rude of you to enter someone's room without permission and interrupt the conversation going on within the family members."

"Family members?" muttered Julis.

Kaya and Behemoon heard Julis muttering but didn't say anything.

It's because they treat him as a family member that they see him as their equal. At the same time, they respect his insight into judging people's potential, managing, and using them in the correct place. Behemoon has already witnessed it during several meetings.

Hearing that, Lopar scratched his cheeks while trying to avoid the eyes of Behemoon.

"Please don't be displeased, Miss Behemoon. I just dropped by to ask you about this year's Immortal Day festival preparation. These days I have been quite busy with my duty as headmaster of Royal Magic Academy and almost didn't get the time to talk about it with you. When I got here, I mistakenly heard your conversation and couldn't help but subconsciously babble out nonsense without myself knowing about it..."

"So, what you said not long ago was merely your mindless babbling?" asked Behemoon with knitted eyes.

Lopar violently nodded.

He couldn't offend her—the person who directly controls the entire Buraford Kingdom administration process.

'But why did I say that? This behavior of subconsciously speaking out has started to become my habit and is happening recently too much. I was so confident when I said those words. But where did I get that confidence from?'

Hearing that, Kaya was disappointed.

She didn't have much hope when she found that it was Lopar who said that. But his way of speaking made her feel that he knew how to revive the dead egg.

After all, even she doesn't have a full idea about many things. Compared to Master Daoma's vast knowledge about the magic world, her is minuscule.

Maybe I should ask Master Daoma about it? When will Kai return? Perhaps he can use the power of his ring to solve the problem.'

While Maya was in deep thought, Behemoon was looking at Lopar with sharp eyes.

"So, what is this Immortal Day festival about?"

"...!!!"

Both Julis and Lopar were left speechless.

"Did I say something wrong? Why are you guys acting like this?"

"Miss Behemoon, do you... really... don't know about it? Nobody informed you about the Immortal Day Festival!?"

"Is it some important annual event? I wasn't informed about it," said Behemoon without any change in expression.

Julis and Lopar looked at each other with a bitter expression.

It's already 12th July, and the festival is only nine days away. The person who should have known has no idea about it. Maybe everyone just forgot to mention it. But how can each magic-user of the continent forget about such an important day?

Lopar placed his hand on his forehead and looked at Behemoon.

"Miss Behemoon, please allocate a special fund for the festival as soon as possible. We don't have many days left. The Immortal Day festival is just around the corner. It's a special day that occurs every one hundred years later; that day, people throughout the continent will honor their great ancestors. But for magic users, it's a special day; On 21st July, the constellation of Sage Emperor will appear. According to legends, that constellation only appears every one million years, and there will be a significant surge of magic power throughout the continent, and only the night sky will be visible for the whole day under the glow of the stars. It told in the ancient texts that the one who can please the Sage Emperor could get its blessings. The person who was able to do so a million years ago was Shaman King Kabo.

But those who try to disrespect the sage Emperor will receive its rage and will be cursed for eternity; even after death, his soul will burn in the flames until his very existence is erased from the world."

Hearing that, Kaya, who was in deep thought, was also interested but didn't believe in any ancient legends.

Because their ancestors never mentioned it, they would have said it if it was such an important event. In comparison, Behemoon thought for a moment and nodded.

She doesn't know much about the festival but if it's related to their ancestors. She doesn't have any right to interfere, and it is a common belief. Even Magic Beast has great respect for their ancestors and elders.

"I will not be responsible for this event. Go and talk with master Yami. He will be responsible for everything. Just send me the details about the amount you are going to spend on it."

Hearing that, Lopar was delighted. "I will do as your command and directly go and talk with lord Yami about it."

Saying that, he bowed and left.

Julis also smiled, "I should also take my leave. Take care, Miss Kaya and Miss Behemoon," he bowed and left.

[Chronos Magic Academy]

Daoma was sitting on the sofa, enjoying his tea with no one else to disturb him, looking at the calendar with worried expressions.

"Arbus... he really used the world barrier of dual attributes of Time and Space to separate this continent from the other parts of the world. To think that the Sage Emperor Constellation appears here every one million years instead of once in every hundred million years. Is it Arbus doing, or is it because of the change in the world laws?"

Sage Emperor Constellation, the legendary celestial star constellation. It is made up of a hundred million stars, also known as the heavens' great eyes. When the eyes open; if a person dares to look at those eyes. The darkness inside him will cease to exist, but it's a painful process that burns the very soul.

"Flame Emperor, Surtr. Received its blessings and became the strongest demon in the history of Pridadin as well as Zebel, who became the strongest healer type light magic-user."

"It's going to be a great day. I hope that there is no fool on the continent who offends the Sage Emperor with his actions. The Sage Emperor, the only living constellation in the great mystic universe, can be kind and cruel. It will also help to complete the transformation process of Alice."

Thinking so, he continued looking at the night sky while drinking his tea.
