Chapter 142 Introduction
"Little sister… Aren't you going to thank us for revealing the true nature of that man? You almost married a blind man… Luckily, we immediately exposed his curse. What if he became a blind man after you get married? That would be a huge humiliation…"
Silverio spoke to Lesley with his ridiculing tone. He still felt proud of himself after the contribution that he made.
Lesley didn't take him seriously as she just continued walking to the hallway leading to Scarlet Swan Pavilion where the visitor from the Black Tower is currently waiting.
She didn't want to get into this topic and if possible, she wanted to just forget about this matter. She'd rather spend her time training her Mystic Eye and Fusion Arts so she will no longer need help in the future.
"Just shut your mouth, brother Silverio. Although Lesley doesn't have any feelings for that blind man anymore, it doesn't change the fact that he still saved her. You shouldn't bring him down anymore." Tyrell said and sounded like he was sympathizing with Vincent.
However, the evil smile on his face can't be mistaken at all. Now that Lesley's prenatal engagement was settled, he's already planning on how to get Lesley's favor so he can recommend his rich friend.
As they were about to reach the pavilion, they met with other members of the clan as they walked excitedly to meet the foreigner from a far nation.
"Uncle Koltz, are we really going to move to a different country?" Tyrell asked quietly after getting closer to an elder of the clan.
Koltz has long white hair and a stout figure so he was easily recognized amongst the elders of the Clan.
He is one of the few elders within the clan that was mainly assigned in managing some businesses that the clan has established in the city. He doesn't appear to be a very strong individual but his skills in business management are well respected within the Zemin Clan.
Koltz fixed his eyeglasses before answering his nephew.
"That seems to be the case… So you must learn to behave and adapt to our situation. Once we get there, we will all have to establish our clan so you have to complete your Mystic Eye as soon as possible." Koltz reminded the two kids.
If it's possible, Koltz didn't want the Zemin Clan to escape like this. He didn't really care whether they get to become an ally with the Barbarians since it might even be profitable in the future. Unfortunately, they have already killed so many members of the revolutionary army.
Grand Duke France would surely take offense to their actions once he became a king.
As soon as they arrived at the Scarlet Swan Pavilion not too far from the Main Hall of their Estate, they discovered that over 30 people has already gathered.
These people include the Elders, Guardians, Swords, elite youths of the Clan, and some important direct descendants of the Zemin Family.
Tyrell couldn't help but gulp after seeing so many powerful individuals that were emitting a powerful fluctuation of their Mana.
It was as if they were trying to intimidate someone!
That's right, at the center of the Pavilion, there was a man wearing a black robe and black hat standing and gazing at everyone within the Zemin Clan. The pressure around him is definitely the strongest but he remained there watching everything with a calm expression.
"Hmm?"
It was as if he was looking for something or he was assessing them using his eyes.
Nevertheless, Tyrell immediately recognized this person.
"Is he someone from the Black Tower?" Tyrell muttered to himself.
"Brother, perhaps this meeting is about the special privileges that father has mentioned…" Silverio quietly said which reminded Tyrell of something.
He indeed recalled his father, Patriarch Leon, mentioning something about the special privileges that the Black Tower could give aside from helping them settle down to one of their organization's territories.
As he was thinking of this, the man from the Black Tower finally spoke after Patriarch Leon gave him the signal.
"For those who didn't know me, I'm Turhan from the Black Tower… You can call me Professor since I will also be teaching you a few things while I'm here. I'm not sure what your Patriarch has mentioned to all of you so I'd like to make things clear before we bring the transportation we'll use to take you to our territory."
Professor Turhan spoke with his deep voice as his gaze trailed around the crowd. Everyone started whispering to the person beside them as the Patriarch barely mentioned these things to them.
Luckily, this Professor will finally enlighten them about the new land where they will live.
Some of them were hoping that there are no Barbarians in that country. Some wishes that there will be more Magic Beasts they could hunt while others are nervous about whether there will be a lot more Celestial Beings in that territory compared to this kingdom.
As they were thinking of this, Turhan continued his speech.
This revelation made the other Guardians and Sword Elders frown as they looked in the Patriarch's direction. It seems that they weren't told about this. They know how powerful that eye was. Yulia only managed to cultivate the Darkness Eye's two stages and it's already quite powerful. It has a total of eight stages and once mastered, it is rumored that not even Celestial Beings at a single digit would be able to stop them.
Nevertheless, they remained quiet for now as they waited for Turhan to explain a bit more.
"Of course, since the Patriarch is willing to give so much valuable contribution to our organization, the Black Tower would accept a total of 50 individuals with talents in researching Mana Arts… You will be allowed to study in one of the Towers that we have. Anyway, if you don't like studying or creating Mana Arts, we are also accepting 50 people to learn our combat techniques. Our Tower is in our control of a few dungeons where you can sharpen your skills in combat so I'm sure that you'll benefit from it…"
Turhan said as he gave a mysterious smile to everyone.
Some of them felt excited to learn new things while the others were still unable to understand what he wanted to say.
Before ending his speech, he gave a few more words that confused almost everyone…
"In the end, our Tower's goal is to find a way to kill the real enemies of humankind and we hope that you all can help us."
