Chapter 700 News
'How did he turn into this?'
Maya wondered as she observed Chad in his Dragonoid Form.
She had heard of Dragon Knights, who could use the power of dragons to enhance their abilities, but that was only in name, and they didn't even have Dragon Blood with them.
At most, they were simply copying what the Dragon Knights should be based on how they understand the mythical creature.
She had also heard of Dragon Mages, who could use the so-called Dragon Spells to cast powerful spells, but once again, they were just imitations of the Dragon Spell and were a lot weaker than the original...
Nonetheless, Maya had never thought that Half-Dragons truly existed until now! A half-human and half-dragon felt surreal!
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm It was even more dreamlike when the one in question was actually Chad Bulmung!
Bulmung Clan was a third-generation family and merely a supporter of the five main families who had established the Dark Arcane Path!Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
They shouldn't be related to any Dragons or aware of any Dark Alchemist that was capable enough to change a person's gene!
'There's no way the Bulmung Family has a Dragon's Blood... Then it must be the Immortal. Just what kind of deal did he make to get the Immortal's assistance.' Maya sighed as she couldn't really think of a good answer.
Nonetheless, there was no point in overthinking this matter. She would know the answer later once she requested a private meeting with Chad. It shouldn't be that difficult since she wouldn't be meeting the Immortal in private, it was simply his subordinate.

In the meantime, as Roland heard the Immortal's announcement about his loss, he didn't feel bad about it.
He also decided not to use his Life Force to fight against Chad since this was only a Duel. However, he knew to himself that if he really had to win, he wouldn't mind burning his Soul to kill the Half-Dragon. Well, at the very least, he knew that with such a Forbidden Technique, he would have a higher chance of winning.
Sir Roland then got up and gave a salute to Chad.
"You have fought well, Sir Chad. My visit here isn't wasted at all. Thank you for the learning experience."
Chad returned the salute and also expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Sir Roland... I was lucky that you weren't prepared to fight against a Half-Dragon. I believe that if a Magic Knight like you had the time to prepare, it would be a lot more difficult for me to win."
Sir Roland smiled at this and took off his ring, and handed it over to Chad.
"Since I lost, I will hand this over to you, Chad. This is a magic artifact that only a certain family in the Knights Faction can make. It is called the Magic Knight's Ring. It can store and cast any Three Arcane Spells that are at least Tier 2..." Sir Roland explained.
"What? Any three Arcane Spells? The Arcane Path doesn't matter?" Chad repeated. This was certainly a lot more useful for him.
"Sir Immortal, we also have no other request but to have a private meeting with Chad. We also have some requests for him, and we hope he will accept them. We hope you will allow this, Sir Immortal."
Vale looked at Maya, and then at the other representatives.
It seemed that Chad's strength had truly attracted them. Anyway, he didn't think that it was a bad idea at all.
After sending a message to Chad through telepathy, Vale smiled, and nodded.
"I understand your curiosity and your interest. I will allow this... However, you will have to wait for your turn, and respect each other's privacy. I don't want any heated arguments to happen. You will have to be brief and concise, and not waste Chad's time. Do you understand?"
Maya and the other representatives agreed to the condition without any hesitation
"I agree to your condition, Sir Immortal. I will wait for my turn..." Maya said as if she didn't want to be the first to speak to Chad.
"Very well. Then we have a deal..."

In the meantime, not too far from the castle, Agent Axe was on a trip to Vale's Castle on his Airship, a flying vessel powered by arcane magic...
He was an agent of the Arcane Bureau, and currently assigned to help on Vale's matter no matter how important it was.
He was tasked to visit the castle since he had a very important news and item to deliver to the Immortal. He had to visit him in person.
"I hope he will help us... This isn't a matter that a Half-Immortal could deal with."
Apparently, the news was about a recent discovery of a hidden dungeon, where a powerful artifact was found. The item was a golden orb that emitted a strange and ancient aura.
Agent Axe had been assigned to retrieve the artifact and bring it to the Immortal, who might know more about its origin and purpose. Of course, he couldn't retrieve the artifact but he has the item that would help the Immortal retrieve it.
Agent Axe arrived at the castle, and landed his Airship on the courtyard.
He was greeted by a beautiful woman, who introduced herself as Faith, the Immortal's assistant.
She welcomed him and asked him the reason for his visit.
Agent Axe showed her his badge, and told her that he had a very important news and item to deliver to the Immortal.
"Alright..."
Manager Faith nodded, and asked him to follow her. "The Immortal is busy right now. He is in the reception hall, where he is hosting some guests.
