Chapter 219: Divination

[Target Eliminated! 3,505 Exp obtained!]

Meanwhile, a wry smile appeared on Charles's face as he dismissed the notification and went near the chained young boy.

Then, he broke the chains and cuffs using his fire spell and released him.

Following that, he tossed a ball greenish-blue flame on the young boy and turned his gaze towards the ice cube.

At that moment, Neil's body was destroyed from inside and looked horrifying.

Charles searched the body, and soon his gaze landed on a particular area.

A golden ring appeared inside the sealed ice crystal.

'Space ring.' A smile appeared on his face as he cast [Sleight of Mystery Hand] skill and moved his fingers.

Two seconds later, he made a strange hand gesture, caught something invisible in the air, turned around, and followed after Natalia's footsteps.

Although Natalia felt something was off about his action, she didn't put much thought into it and went upstairs.

A few seconds later, both walked out of the underground basement and met the servants and guards.

Natalia turned her gaze towards the three guards and ordered.

"Go and bring the young kid from the underground basement."

"Yes, My Lady." All three of the guards nodded their heads and hurriedly went downstairs while covering their noses.

On the other hand, Natalia turned her gaze towards the servants and issued another order.

"Release all the slaves from the prison cells and bring them to the courtyard. You guys have 15 minutes."

Before the servants could respond, she released her full wisdom power and scanned the whole mansion.

After finding no more enemies in the mansion, she breathed out a sigh of relief and started walking in the corridor.

Meanwhile, Charles silently walked beside her and started to think deeply about his earlier actions.

'I indeed acted rashly earlier. I need to be more careful and not be a burden to her.' While thinking, he subconsciously glanced at her charming face for a moment and shifted his gaze towards the front in a hurry.

At that moment, his heart also once again started to beat faster.

Noticing his weird action, Natalia couldn't help but ask in a teasing tone.

"What's on my face?"

As he heard those words, he almost got flustered for a moment before he let out a fake cough and shook his head.

"Nothing." He responded with a stiff tone and soon noticed that both had already entered the reception room.

"What's our next plan?" Natalia was amused by his action and asked.

In the meantime, Charles thought for a moment and spoke.

"It's better to go and look for the 'Elder' before he learns about this incident. As long as we capture him, half of our mission will be over."

Hearing his words, Natalia placed her soft hand on her chin and shook her head.

"There is a big difference in capturing and killing, Charles. Killing an enemy is way easier than capturing." She paused for a moment and soon added.

"It's better to do some preparation before going after him."

"Preparation?" Charles tilted his head in confusion and soon widened his eyes.

"Are you going to do a divination?" He asked in a surprised tone.

Meanwhile, Natalia wore a serious look on her face and spoke with a nod.

"Yes, I want to check whether we would succeed the mission on not."

Saying so, she went near a sofa placed at the center of the reception hall, sat on it, and closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, Charles also moved towards the opposite Lawson sofa and sat down.

Then, he also took out a golden quill, inkbottle, and the Book of Secrets and then placed them on the table.

After that, he opened the ink bottle, dipped the quill into it, and shifted his attention to the golden-covered book.

He first used his other hand to flip the pages and soon stopped it on an empty page.

He then moved his right hand and started writing his personal information on the mysterious empty page.

Once he completed the process, Charles's eyes turned abnormally white, and he entered into a strange state.

Even Natalia opened her eyes as she sensed something abnormal about him and soon focused her gaze on the empty paper.

At that moment, she saw that black letters started to distort and soon absorbed into the blank paper!

The next instant, she noticed the mysterious page began to move like a sea wave and created strange characters.

But unlike the previous ones, she couldn't even tell what those strange characters were and became confused.

On the other hand, Charles returned to his usual state, glanced at the paper, and started to mutter.

"Bread Maker's Farm House…Near the Black Pond… You will find Omen… The mission will be successful…"

"You can read the strange characters? What language is this?" Natalia asked in a surprised tone.

As Charles heard her words, his deep-blue eyes widened.

"Isn't this Blen tongue?" He couldn't help but show a puzzled look on his face.

"Blen tongue? Although I'm from the Moon Kingdom, that doesn't mean I'm an ignorant mage. This strange language isn't from this world." She stared at him in curiosity and confusion.

Meanwhile, Charles's mind went blank for a moment.

'But it really is in Blen tongue, though. Wait… Could it be? The words can change to one's imagination?' He thought for a moment and chose to ask the Holem's Crown later.

Then, he hurriedly closed the book, stared into her eyes, and probed.

"What did you see in your divination?"

Upon hearing his question, Natalia curled her lips upward and spoke with a proud look on her face.

"Although there will be some dangers in this mission, we will capture this Elder."

'That's good.' Charles nodded his head and stored the book, quill, and inkbottle into his space ring.

Then, he took out a strange red-gem embedded ring and checked it.

He took this ring from Baron Spencer!

'Chaos Ring… A rare-rank artifact with a unique chaos spell called 'Insanity mind' engraved in it. It's a rank-3 spell with a cooldown of seven days. This insanity mind spell can affect one's thinking and let them make wrong decisions at a critical moment…' Charles stared at the ring for a moment and wore it in his hand.

Then, he took a golden ring from his space ring and marked it with his spiritual imprint.

After that, he linked it with his mind and checked the content.

'Wow… Lots of gold coins… Sh*t! All of them are turning into ashes.' His face turned unsightly for a moment before returning to normal.

'Hmm, there are glass cubes with preserved human organs, blood, and a mysterious blue bead… Wait… This must be the item he used to store human souls after killing…' He nodded thoughtfully and began to check the other contents.

Unfortunately, other than an abyssal language book and an old paper filled with mysterious patterns and characters, he found nothing special in the ring.

Letting out a deep sigh, he stored the ring back into his space ring and stood up.

Meanwhile, Natalia also stood up from her seat, and both started walking towards the outside yard.

At that moment, a total of hundred slaves, twenty servants, and seventeen guards stood at the center of the frozen yard and stared at them in anxiety and fear.

As Charles walked towards them, Natalia suddenly pulled his sleeve and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Heal the injured ones. I will do the instruction."

Saying so, she started walking towards the servants and started giving few instructions to the female servants and the guards.

Meanwhile, Charles checked the slaves one by one and cast his healing spell constantly.

By the time he finished healing all the slaves, Natalia had done her work and started walking in his direction.

"What instruction did you give them?" He stared into her fierce red eyes and asked in curiosity.

"I just told them to go to your grandfather's mansion and seek his help. I also gave them a noble seal in case if some security guards block them." Natalia responded in a casual tone.

"Noble seal? Whose?" Charles's eyebrows arched upward.

Upon hearing his words, Natalia smiled mysteriously and started to walk outside.

"It's a Baron's seal and it also contains my 'Incarnation' imprint." Her voice echoed in the gloomy night as she walked on the concrete path and went towards the street.

Once she appeared on the street road, she halted her footsteps and asked.

"Do you know where this Black Pond village is located?"

Upon hearing her words, Charles nodded his head and responded.

"It's 4 km away from the Eastern Gate."

"Oh? It's not far from the city then." Natalia nodded her head, tapped her left foot on the ground, and soon turned blurry.

"Don't fall behind."

Before Charles could even blink, she muttered a few words and disappeared.

He soon shook his head, cast [Flame Teleportation] spell, enveloped himself in a crimson flame, and soon disappeared from there!
