?827 Chapter 827: Land of Chaos
After leaving the hall, Karyk couldn't help but feel a mixture of intrigue. The information he had just obtained was far more valuable than he had anticipated.
It was clear that there were powerful forces at play, manipulating the situation to their advantage. And the threads of this reached even his main targets, the Royals.
As he wandered through the dimly lit corridors of the mansion, Karyk pondered over the implications of what he had learned and how he could use this to his advantage.
Although the pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, there were still missing gaps that needed to be filled.
Deep in thought, Karyk made his way to the mansion's library. It was a vast room filled with books, scrolls, and ancient manuscripts. Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion wasn't burned.
Although the information here couldn't be as comprehensive as what Arkam was going to get him, he still preferred to know as much as he could, especially if there was a possibility for him to understand more about the Chaotic Beasts.
As he searched the shelves, his gaze fell upon an old time with a worn leather cover in the corner most shelf. There was no title on the cover of the book and it appeared like an insignificant book, but that's what made Karyk intrigued.
He pulled out your book and opened it, finding the title to be on the first page instead. The title read, "The Celestial Dynasty."
"Is this the detailed history of the Empire? But from what I know, the Empire isn't called this." Curious over the title, Karyk started going through the book. Carefully turning the aged pages, Karyk continued.
As he went through the pages, he was slightly surprised. The content of the book felt more like a story and less like reality, because nothing that the book mentioned was the reality of the Dynasty.
As soon as he heard the sound of footsteps, the assassin raised his head, his eyes showing a trace of concern as well as hope. He had already told Karyk everything. He didn't know if Karyk was here to release him or to kill him.
"I'm here to grant you freedom. But before that, I have one more question."
"What do you want to know?" The assassin asked, his hope reigniting.
"The Celestial Dynasty... Tell me everything you know about it." Karyk stated.
"The what dynasty?" The assassin looked at Karyk in confusion, as if this was the first time he had heard about this.
"Are you sure you want to keep secrets from me?" A knife appeared in Karyk's hands as he stepped forward. "Now that I think about it, your friend might be missing you. If you really want to be with him, I won't mind sending you there."
"T-there is no Celestial Dynasty! I only know about Elzeria! If you're using this trick to kill me, then do you really need it? Just kill me! You don't have to use such excuses!"
Although scared, the assassin stuck to his point. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any Celestial Dynasty.
Karyk observed the assassin's expressions. From the looks of it, he had a feeling that the man before him wasn't lying. But for him to never even hear about it, was this truly a fake story? Why else would it be unknown to the people here?
He swung the knife. The assassin closed his eyes, only to be stunned when he didn't feel any pain. He opened his eyes, even more surprising to find that he was freed of the chains.
"You'll be coming with me." Karyk told the man. "That is, if you don't want to die."
"Where are we going?" the assassin asked, having a bad feeling about this.
"To the land of Chaos." Karyk smiled.
