Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Abort mission.

On reading the abilities of the Master seal, Blake understood why there was a bidding war between Oliver and Xavier.

“If Oliver had gotten his hands on the Master seal, he would have dominated the southern wall and prevented the wall’s barrier from being breached.” Blake said as he recounted the feats of Oliver during the beast tide.

“Too bad I can’t use it.” Blake shook his head as he placed the artifact back into his dimensional space.

Apart from not meeting any of the requirements to be a beast tamer, using the master seal in the presence of others would incriminate him.

[The Master seal still gives normal people the power of beast tamers. So you should be more worried about people finding out about it.] The system said.

...

High up in the sky above the Magic Castile were Xander and the masked man.

.....

“What is an adventurer doing in the magic school? Are you sure the artifacts signal appeared here?” The masked man asked Xander.

“I am very sure.” Xander answered.

When Commander Darius appeared at the southern wall, Xander was forced to stop keeping an eye on Pascal.

Even when the tracking device placed on the Master seal had disappeared later that day, he was unable to go check out what happened because Darius was still there.

It was after he had moved to the Western wall that Xander returned to the wall, but by then Pascal and the tracking signal were nowhere to be found.

It was when Blake had brought it out of the system’s dimensional pocket that the tracking device began working again.

(AN: There is a difference between dimensional space and pocket. Explanations will come in the future.)

“What do you think I should do?” Xander asked for advice.

The Castle was home to many demigods and angels, so entering without enough information was no different from committing suicide with a rocket launcher.

“Don’t even think of entering there. You might be the best at escaping, but once you enter I am certain that you are not coming out alive.”

“In case you don’t know, the Castle is an artifact, and I am sure that you know fighting in someone’s artifact is suicide.” The Masked man said.

“All you can do is wait for the target to leave the school’s premises, but before that, I have to make sure of something.” The masked man said as the black mask he was wearing began glowing.

“Just like I suspected, it is the same target.”

The mask projected the image of Blake staring at the Master seal.

“How did Blake get his hand on the Master seal.” Xander was shocked by the discovery.

“Abort the mission, tell your client that the mission had failed.” The Masked man said to Xander.

“Why? What happened?” Xander was beyond confused. Some seconds ago the masked man was talking about waiting for the target to leave the castle, but now he was telling him to cancel the mission.

“He is one of the people we can’t touch or accept missions to take out.” The masked man said as he deactivated his mask.

‘It makes sense now. I have always wondered why the nobles haven’t killed him.’ Xander thought as he didn’t question the orders of the masked man.

Being a member of the assassins guild opened his eyes to things like how the nobles always made sure that commoners were always beneath them.

They would at first try to cripple the commoner and make him/her beg, but if they proved to be too stubborn, they would take them out.

So for Blake to disturb the balance that had been present right from the beginning of the Magic school’s establishment should have gotten him killed 100 times over.

Discovering Blake as the current wielder of the Master seal brought an end to the mission. So they both walked through a warp gate and left the area.

...

The next day after seeing Luciano and Tessie off, Blake returned to his room where a letter from the Winchester family was delivered.

The content of the letter was basically the Winchester family accepting the deal and being thankful for including them in the business plan.

He had expected such a reply, because which businessman would want to miss an opportunity to do business with the emperor’s son.

“I wonder if they would have agreed to the deal if Luciano wasn’t involved?” Blake thought.

After he was done reading the letter, Blake burnt it.

It was time to start cultivating.

He was currently at the 31st star of the champion realm. So he aimed to fill up the reaming 11 stars and complete the outer layer of the Azkelwart hourglass in less than 3 weeks.

If it was when school was in session this would have been impossible because he would be too busy.

At the time he was stuck in Azkelwart’s base, Blake was at the 24th star, meaning he had only filled up 7 stars in such a long time.

“This time I have nothing to do.” Blake thought as he brought out piles of beast cores from his dimensional pocket.

He immediately went into a crossed-leg position and began absorbing the energy within them.

...

3 days later after breakfast.

Blake was in the middle of cultivating when the golden communication amulet in his dimensional space rang out.

Since he was bound to it, no matter where he was, he would hear it ring like it was in his palm.

On seeing it was Luciano calling, Blake immediately picked up the call.

“What’s up?” Blake asked as the holographic image of Luciano appeared.

“The party is over and a lot of nobles loved the humidifiers and wanted to get there’s.” Luciano said with a smile on his face.

“They were referred to the Winchester family just as planned, but the problem now is that we need to place a price on them.”
