The entire Underground Palace felt dark, yet this darkness carried a hint of extraordinary flavor.
It had an indescribable sense of grandeur and mystery.
Masked by the monstrous totems on the surrounding walls were eight towering high towers.
These eight high towers stood like sovereigns, symbolizing a glorious and splendid civilization.
If there was a scholar here, they would certainly be amazed by the murals on the wall as their linework and the depiction methods held traces of the Sixth and Fifth Era, even more far-reaching references could be traced back.
The pattern carved at the top of the copper tower, which emerged following the arrival of the grey-pupil youth, subtly aligned with the pattern right above a tower on the wall.
The grey-pupil youth casually tossed his book and adeptly caught it in his armpit.
Swinging the two bells tied to his cloak, he trod into the copper tower.
Within the copper tower, there were fresh signs of activity, hinting that people usually lived here.
Noticing the dust on his feet and a spot of dark red bloodstain on a copper statue placed on a not-far pedestal, the grey-pupil youth let out a cold humph.
“It seems you’ve been slacking off in my absence!” he said.
As he spoke, the grey-pupil youth raised his hand, and a long whip, wrapped in a misty haze, appeared in his hand.
He flung it forward. Though it seemed like he was whipping the air, it landed solidly on an object.
Then came a muffled groan and the sound of a mirror shattering.
A humanoid beast-like creature collapsed on the ground, its mirror-like body smashed by the whip.
After doing all this, the grey-pupil youth stretched indolently and ordered.
“Choose a lead manager among yourselves. If I find anything dissatisfying, the manager will have to answer!”
The Mirror Candle Spirit is a creature borne of a fairy and Human.
A humanoid beast breeding with a Human has always been a taboo.
The offspring of a humanoid beast and a Human are indistinguishable from Humans during their early years, but they develop strange patterns on their bodies when they reach adulthood.
Once these patterns appear on the body of the offspring of a Human and a Humanoid beast, they develop characteristics like fear of light, water-phobic, Binge Eating, etc.
Those people were once considered ominous and they rarely survived more than five years once the patterns began to appear on their bodies.
The Human Federation normally considers these people as taboo, but the Eternal Alchemy Association has a keen interest in such people.
These offspring, born from the union of a humanoid beast and a Human, were considered perfect experimental subjects.
In fact, the Eternal Alchemy Association deliberately bred some humanoid beasts, forcing them to breed with Humans in order to conduct some evil experiments.
The Mirror Candle Spirit is the offspring of the beautiful humanoid male beast known as Mirror Flower Candle Spirit and a Human woman.
During the breeding process, a significant amount of bloodline from the Mirror Flower Candle Spirit was infused into the embryo. This resulted in the Mirror Candle Spirit inheriting some characteristics of the Mirror Flower Candle Spirit, putting a considerable distance between it and Humans.
These products of recent research by the Eternal Alchemy Association over the past decade have been utilized widely as servants.
The body of the Mirror Candle Spirit totally reflects like a mirror and they can perfectly camouflage within their surroundings.
They could generate light or darkness in the room by burning their bodies. Their high intelligence allowed them to flawlessly complete the tasks assigned by their master.
Even when they were working, the Mirror Candle Spirits didn’t call much attention to themselves, making them an ideal choice for those who love peace and quiet.
The grey-pupil youth didn’t need a response; no Mirror Candle Spirit dared to make a sound in front of him.
Should any Mirror Candle Spirit dare to utter a sound, it would suffer the same fate as the one fallen on the ground!
Some of the Mirror Candle Spirits, fearing they might lose control, had deliberately cut off their own tongues.
The youth went all the way to the second-top level of the tower.
The second from the top floor of the tower was a huge teleportation array, so much more precise than the one belonging to the Beastmaster Alliance.
The grey-pupil youth stood in the array, and amidst violent spatial fluctuations, his figure disappeared at the center of the array.
The only sound left behind was the dull sound of the bell at his waist.
When the grey-pupil youth reappeared, he was already in an even larger tower.
Inside its main hall, there were eight black coffins.
Seeing six of the other black coffins already closed and only his own remained open, the grey-pupil youth quickly walked in.
Just as the grey-pupil youth stepped into the black coffin, the lid of the coffin automatically shut. Immediately, a charming female voice echoed in his ear.
“Quiet Bell, you’re always the last. We don’t have all the time in the world to wait for you!”
In response, the grey-pupil youth coldly retorted from within the coffin.
“You’re free not to wait, I never said anyone ought to wait for me!”
The alluring female voice said nothing further, but the grey-pupil youth known as Quiet Bell could clearly hear the sound of teeth grinding near his ear.
“Enough! You two always bicker on and on every time. We didn’t come here to hear you two argue!”
“The meeting was initiated by Quiet Bell, Dark Language. If you are not interested, you can bow out!”
This voice was peaceful and steadied, giving no indication of age or even gender.
This voice made the grinding of teeth ever louder.
“Quiet Bell, what is your agenda in initiating this gathering?”
“I heard you’ve been getting close to the Eternal Alchemy Association lately. I advise you not to let their influence tarnish our aspiration for immortality!”
