The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 372 L Can't Promise That

"Robbed? Who would dare a dragon lord? Besides, they are only mana stones. Those are nothing compared to…" Khaleesi closely stopped speaking as she recalled something.

"Vahn came looking for mana stones. I just didn't expect him to take everything…" Narvim said with a sigh. "Now, I have to make more."

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Khaleesi swiftly left the cave with the memory crystal, causing Narvim to be surprised for a moment before he chased after her.

"Hey! Where are you going, Khaleesi? You still haven't told me what you found inside the memory crystal. I only have one of those. Are you robbing me too?" Narvim wondered.

Nevertheless, Khaleesi didn't say anything and continued flying back to her cave. Before long, she reached her cave with Narvim not far behind her.

"Gone… All gone. I've been robbed too!" Khaleesi exclaimed with surprise after checking her empty mana stone coffer.

"Ahem," Narvim cleared his throat, feeling a little bit better after knowing he wasn't the only one. "What's the big deal? Mana stones are nothing, right? Those were your…"

Narvim immediately shut up after seeing his wife's glare. He would be courting death if he continued his pettiness.

"Hmph!" Khaleesi snorted before she agreed, "You're right, Narvim. It's just a little troublesome and inconvenient that they are all gone. Still, the mana stones are nothing compared to what Vaan left for us."

"What did he leave for us?" Narvim asked curiously.

After Khaleesi made a copy of the Formless Dragon Exercise and stored it in her own memory crystal, she returned Narvim's memory crystal back to him.

"Check for yourself," she said.

It didn't take long before Narvim's expression underwent multiple changes as he perused his memory crystal. From casualness to surprise, then astonishment to complete shock.

"This Formless Dragon Exercise could benefit the whole clan!" Narvim exclaimed with excitement.

Being the top talent in the past, he had more insight than Khaleesi. As such, he didn't need to practice the Formless Dragon Exercise to understand its effectiveness.

"Let us share what we have with the others."

"Mm."

Khaleesi quickly agreed with Narvim's suggestion before they two went to meet the other dragon lords.

The mana stones had completely slipped past their minds.

North of Sunpeak Town

After Vaan returned from the Red Dragon Clan and deactivated the black cube, he stored it away and entered the town.

Moments later, a new barrier of blue flames was summoned again, sealing off Sunpeak Town once more.

Although the barrier of blue flames vanished every instance he left for the Red Dragon Clan, it was hard to say if anyone dared to Sunpeak Town during its downtime.

Nevertheless, the Assembly of Silent Night was not the only problem in Sunpeak Town; it was only part of it.

Vaan did not know the Assembly of Silent Night's true purpose, but he was confident they did not return the Kingdom of Black Rose purely for revenge.

'A hundred and twenty Rank 4s and two Rank 5s… This power is comparable to a witch kingdom, and it's what the Assembly of Silent Night has only revealed on the surface. What were they trying to achieve here in Sunpeak Town?' Vaan mused.

He didn't doubt the Assembly of Silent Night would have more S-rank Witch Hunters and possibly a leader who was even stronger than the S-rank Witch Hunters.

Considering he had the Witch Hunter System and the Assembly of Silent Night's members were called Witch Hunters, it would be strange if he did not think they had some relations to demons.

Nevertheless, he could only find out after Astarot extracted information from the prisoners and relayed the knowledge to him.

After Vaan returned to the lord's estate, everyone beside Silvaria greeted him.

Headmaster Astoria and Cyrena referred to him as a teacher, while Dahlia and Solana called him by name. Only Aeliana directly addressed him as her lord.

"Lord Aeliana, that isn't very appropriate, is it?" Silvaria couldn't help but blurt out after hearing Aeliana, a region lord in the Kingdom of Black Rose, put a man above her and call him a lord.

However, she immediately regretted opening her mouth. The man had displayed power beyond her imagination.

What was inappropriate about calling him a lord?

"Are you looking down on Lord Vahn? Who I call a lord is none of your concern, Lord Silvaria. You best keep that in mind," Aeliana replied with a cold look and exerted pressure on Silvaria.

"Yes, I have misspoken, and I apologize for that, Lord Aeliana and Lord Vahn," Silvaria lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

The odds were against her.

More importantly, she was startled by Aeliana's power, which seemed to be at the same level as hers but also felt even stronger.

Aeliana was still a Senior Witch before her abomination incident, and yet she had already caught up after her recovery.

Furthermore, that look in Aeliana's eyes bothered her. She appeared to worship the man.

'Lady Solana vaguely mentioned someone was responsible for Aeliana's recovery…. Could it be this person?!' Silvaria suddenly realized.

It was the only possibility that made sense.

While various thoughts raced through Silvaria's mind, Vaan turned to Dahlia and Solana and asked them to fill him in on the details of the situation.

"What happened in Sunpeak Town in the past month? Who harmed you, Dahli?" Vaan asked.

Shortly after, Dahlia and Solana recounted all the events and problems leading up to the present. When Vaan heard it, he frowned in thought. His anger was silent.

He knew there would be some problems, but he didn't think they would grow so far out of hand.

There was something more to the Sunpeak Region than its commercial value that prompted various forces to move to Sunpeak Town.

"How audacious these merchants are! Who gives them the courage to be so bold in my domain?!" Aeliana spouted after she suddenly smashed the ground, unable to contain her rage.

At the same time, Astoria glanced at Vaan with concern and said, "Teacher Raphna, I hope you can avoid killing witches and let me handle all issues related to them."

"I can't promise that," Vaan coolly replied.

It would be fine if the Assembly of Silent Night were behind Dahlia's attack since he had already delivered justice.

But if another party had been involved in the incident, there would be a great reckoning.
