The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 349 - 333: Investigation

Hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man in a black robe trembled slightly, momentarily stunned.

It took several seconds for him to react, then his eyes widened in disbelief and he asked, "What did you say? Say it again." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seeing the other person like this, the guard shrank his neck in fear and then repeated what he had said earlier, "My lord Rykai, Lord Gai Modessa’s Magic Mirror has shattered."

A Magic Mirror is a product of magic and alchemy, and because the materials used to make it are quite rare, it is exceedingly precious.

This item has only one function: a mage can channel their Spiritual Power and Magic Power into it.

Then the Magic Mirror will connect with the mage, and if the mage dies, the Magic Mirror will shatter instantly.

In simple terms, a Magic Mirror can confirm whether a mage is still alive.

Due to its rarity, only those mages of high status and prestige would use this item.

Hearing the guard repeat his words again, both Rykai and the middle-aged woman beside him were stunned.

After a while, Rykai realized what had happened, and a surge of uncontrolled Magic Waves erupted all over him, as if he might go berserk at any moment.

Fortunately, at this moment, the middle-aged woman spoke up in time, "You may leave now. I need to speak with Rykai."

Hearing the middle-aged woman’s words, the guard didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly retreated outside.

Once the guard had left, the middle-aged woman looked at Rykai, who had his head bowed in silence, surrounded by volatile magic, and sighed softly, comforting him, "Rykai, calm down. Let’s report this to Lord Vails first."

"The most important thing now is to find the real culprit."

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman’s advice, Rykai finally lifted his red, tear-streaked eyes and said, "Yes, find the real culprit. Whoever dares to harm my son, I will make them pay dearly."

With those words, Rykai stood up and quickly walked towards the outside of the Divine Hall.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly followed him.

She and Rykai were priests of the Shadow Isle’s Divine Hall, positions of considerable eminence.

Of course, this was not the most important thing, because the reason they could become priests was that Rykai’s father, Vails, and his father, Milede, were legendary tier beings on Shadow Isle.

Among them, Milede was the highest leader of Shadow Isle and the only legendary tier mage there.

This was why, at a critical moment, she could persuade Rykai to calm down and not act impulsively.

After the two exited the Divine Hall, they directly used Flying Magic to head towards the center of Shadow Isle.

There were not many people granted the right to fly on Shadow Isle, and she and Rykai were two among that few.

Soon, the two flew all the way to the central area of Shadow Isle.

There was a massive palace there.

This was the place where the three legendary tier beings of Shadow Isle resided.

It was also the center of power for Shadow Isle.

Soon, Rykai and she landed at the entrance of the palace and then quickly walked toward it.

The guards at the palace entrance, upon seeing the two, immediately saluted respectfully and stepped aside to allow them entrance.

As the descendants of legendary tier beings and priests of Shadow Isle’s Divine Hall, they didn’t need to report before meeting the three legendary beings; they could enter directly.

Soon, the two entered the palace.

At that moment, three individuals were sitting around a round table discussing matters, and upon noticing the two entering, they stopped their discussion and turned their eyes towards them.

Milede’s gaze lingered on the middle-aged woman for a moment before he spoke slowly, "Mia, Rykai, what’s the matter that brings you to us? It’s been quite a while since you two last visited us."

"I sense something amiss in Rykai’s emotions. Did something unpleasant occur?"

Hearing Milede’s inquiry, Rykai immediately knelt on the ground, "Father, my lords, Gai Modessa... his Magic Mirror has shattered."

As those words fell, Rykai bit his lip hard to prevent himself from losing control of his emotions and doing something inappropriate.

Meanwhile, the three sitting by the round table were all stunned by this news.

Especially Vails, who could hardly believe his ears.

After a few seconds of disbelief, Vails asked in shock, "What did you say? Are you saying that Gai Modessa is dead?"

Hearing Vails’ question, Rykai nodded with difficulty.

Seeing Rykai’s expression, Vails clenched his fists instantly, his entire body trembling slightly.

"How is that possible? He was just training on the outskirts of the Chaotic Sea Domain, just the outskirts. How could anyone possibly threaten him? And he still had the legendary tier Demon Core given by Milede... who could kill him?"

Vails murmured in disbelief, shaking his head repeatedly, seemingly unable to accept this news.

Seeing Vails in this state, Milede shook his head before extending his hand to pat Vails on the shoulder, "Vails, calm down slightly. The Magic Mirror doesn’t lie."

"Since the Magic Mirror shattered, it indicates that this matter is almost certainly true."

"I understand how incredible and hard to accept this is for you."

"But the question now is who exactly is responsible for Gai Modessa’s death? That’s the most important thing."

"Daring to challenge our Shadow Isle’s authority, the perpetrator will pay a heavy price."

Hearing Milede’s words, Vails finally managed to control his emotions with difficulty.

Having been in a high position for so many years, Vails had weathered countless storms, and it was hard to lose control of his emotions.

The reason for his current loss of control was that Gai Modessa was his only grandson and an exceptionally gifted mage.

He even had a slight chance in this lifetime to break through to the legendary tier.

That was the real reason for his losing control.

In fact, aside from him, the other two legendary tier beings found it equally hard to accept.

The reason was simple: Gai Modessa had a slight chance of breaking through to the legendary tier, and with Gadesa’s breakthrough, Shadow Isle’s power would see a tremendous transformation.

It would also disrupt the power dynamics of the inner realm of the Chaotic Sea Domain, potentially allowing Shadow Isle’s power to become one of the top three.

Clenching his teeth tight, Vails narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Investigate, we must find out who is behind this. We must uncover the person responsible."
