Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1476 Choices

It turned out that the Ouroboros had in fact known the solution to the problem he had with his magus core. The actual reason as to why it was really difficult for him now to cast any spells.

However, instead of telling him directly, they chose to keep the solution a secret from him because they wanted to keep him around to continue undergoing blood gene experiments. Even the magus who was sent to train him was specifically told not to tell him about this matter.

"You all are freakin' liars!!"

Needless to say, Emery was extremely annoyed when he found out about this. He felt like he had been toyed with like a child.

"Get angry if you want. Just don't forget the fact that without us you would already be dead." the Duke spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing that, Emery took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions and stared at the middle-aged man, waiting for him to explain further. Seeing that he had calmed down, the Duke finally spoke again.

"Be grateful. There is a wood elf clan who are willing to accept you.." He said, making Emery narrow his eyes. "Believe me, they are the best people to help heal your condition."

During the last three months he had spent in Ouroboros, Emery had studied about the magus universe in his spare time and some of them were about elves. Unlike the dark elves, the majority of wood elves preferred to live in their forest in peace.

However, that didn't mean that they were a peaceful race.

Besides that, being in the elven territory, there was a high chance that the dark elves would capture him, even the wood elves would hand over him to them.

"How long will I be going? and, what about the experiments?"

"You don't have to worry about that," said the duke calmly. "I've consulted about this with Bob. There is no longer a need to draw your blood every month. Just come back when you have reached the standard he needs."

Emery quickly assumed that he would be gone for at least a few months, or maybe even a year, from the man's words. He felt a bit uneasy at the idea of leaving Silva for that long.

Not only that, he also couldn't help but question how the wood elves would be able to help him. Who knows, it might even be another lie the Ouroboros concocted to kill him off.

"What if I refuse?"

The Duke's eyes turned sharp as he sternly said, "The Queen has spoken. If you do refuse, the alternative is to send you back home, never to return here again."

Home, the word did tingle something in his mind. The more memories he excavated and unveiled from the quagmire that is his mind, the more interested Emery became to know more about this home of his, to see the people he left behind. However, that thought was quickly overshadowed by the memory of Silva's condition.

"So what will it be?" asked the Duke with an indifferent tone in his voice.

Before answering, Emery went ahead and asked a question that was in his mind. "Why bother sending me off to this place? If I am no longer of any use to you, why not just send me home? It's a straightforward solution, you all dont need to bother with me anymore."

The Duke heaved a faint sigh before saying, "It was the princess' last wish before she fell to her current state. She was the one who made this deal with the elves possible.." With a cold gaze the man said "If my opinion is what you ask, I really don't care whether you live or die, so make your decision now."

Emery realized that not mastering spell put him in much disadvantages, hence at the moment, without real power he has not much of a choice. Again, his thoughts remained the same, he would go and check out this wood elf clan, and if he didn't like what he saw, he could just leave.

"Alright, I will go to this wood elf clan."

"Good, we are leaving first thing tomorrow"

Since Emery didn't have any personal belongings with him when he came to the Ouroboros, it didn't take him long to get ready. He took the [memory puzzle] with him and decided to head toward the facility once again.

Bob was looking for him, but he came for one main reason, to see Silva once again before he leave.

Seeing the sight of the girl in such condition afected him deeply.

"I will find a way… i will return for you"

The frog hybrid came bringing with him a box. When Emery opened it, he saw a row of [Twilight Fey Booster] serums that he was familiar with, numbering twenty.

"I did my best." He said when Emery shifted his gaze back to him. "Those are all I could make for such short notice. Hope it will help you there. I will contact you when there's more."

Even though he didn't get along that well with the frog hybrid, Emery could see how sincere the man was in trying to help him and Silva. Hence he looked at him and said, "Thank you."

When the morning come, he went to the hangar where a spaceship was already waiting for his journey. Duke Syre was there with him, ready to go.

"It's time to go!" said one of the hangar crew, signaling that the ship was ready to take off.

Loud sounds echoed through the air as the ship's thrusters kicked into gear. But then, while it was preparing to fly away, another ship came ashore in the hangar. Noticing a familiar person coming out of there and running towards his ship, Emery motioned to wait as he stepped out.

p??d? ???ê|,?ò? "I came as soon as possible. Glad I made it in time." said the redhead, Annara Vermont.

She went to talk to the Duke for a moment and then the two came up to Emery. With an excited expression, she spoke to him. "I have found one of the items you needed for the bloodline breakthrough, and the queen has agreed that you can come with me if that what you chose"

"Where to?" Emery asked

Excitedly she said "The planet where the greatest empire of the Wolf bloodline lies."

Emery was left with another choice, and it was not a difficult one to choose as this option was the one with him having a better chance to save Silva.

"I will go with you, the wood elves can wait"

As he was leaving toward this destination, Emery cant help to think about a certain wolf patriarch who betrayed him.
