Chapter 440: Getting Famous

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

As Shadow provided answers to Isabellas questions, everyone who was listening slowly turned their focus back onto Angor again.

This was because Shadows description was downright unbelievable. Mystery soul, Mystery alchemist

An apprentice who tried to create a Mystery item? He did fail, but this was still something inconceivable.

However, when people used their own means of lie-detection on Shadow, they were surprised to notice that Shadow spoke the truth.

The young apprentice named Angor really summoned Mystery energy??

Everyone was now giving Angor pa.s.sionate looks as if they just discovered a hidden treasure. It no longer mattered whether Angor could become a wizard in the end. The boy already held as much value as a wizard or even more.

In fact, Shadow wasnt sure about most of the things he talked about because he never witnessed Angors secrets. Still, the man always had a sly tongue. Combining his own a.s.sumptions, he made up a series of events that sounded very convincing.

And these descriptions were all based on what he observed from Angor. They werent lies.

For example, Shadow said that Isabelle possessed Venees as a damaged soul. She seized Angors Mystery soul in order to survive.

Of course, this wasnt what actually happened, but people still believed in his story.

Upon learning that Isabelle was possibly wounded, people felt a great burden lifted from their minds.

At the top level of a tattered stone tower inside Silent Hill, the ruler of the organization, Silent Raven Taurus, lifted his frown.

Inside the fireplace in front of him, Shadows image was still speaking.

It was already after midnight when Shadow finished speaking.

Isabella was obviously concerned. She trusted Shadows words that Isabelle had returned and that she was suffering from serious wounds.

Isabella felt her heart aching at the news.

Ill take your word for now. If I ever find out otherwise Ill kill you for using my mentors name, no matter where you are.

With that, Isabella tossed Nagas head back to Shadow and left Silent Hill quickly.

She only wanted to get back to her teacher right now. Common sense dictated that she should be thanking Angor for helping Isabelle. However, her character didnt allow her to do so to a mere apprentice, so Isabella just left Angor here. The boy wasnt dead anyway. She believed Isabelle wouldnt blame her.

While everyone watched, Isabella turned into a blood-red bat and flew away.

After making sure Isabella had left, Shadow dragged his broken body to his teacher. There goes that old hag. Good riddance What a terrible night

He quickly addressed Bogula with a shameless grin. Hey, prof, can I do something to save her?

Nagas head was still sealed in Isabellas blood sphere. She seemed to be sleeping.

You can. Bogula took a glimpse. However

Yes? Shadow was excited that there was still hope. He decided to give up Naga earlier out of recklessness. Now that he could think it over, he REALLY did not want to abandon Naga yet.

Youre not up for it at your level. Get stronger. Youll find a way to repair her once you become a wizard.

Of course, Bogula could help Shadow save Naga, but since Naga was now Shadows personal property, Bogula would leave all matters related to Naga, including her maintenance, to Shadow.

Shadow sighed in relief. Glad to hear it. Ill train as fast as possible.

Lets hope so. Bogula lifted Angor up by the back of his collar. Lets get back.

Shadow didnt protest and slowly followed behind his teacher. They went back to their wizard tower.

After they left, all the spirit feelers from various wizards also disappeared. There was only a giant blood pool and a lone boulder left on the sceneDual Sprite Talos.

The kids not dead! I thought Bogula is the trouble, but man, there are so many troubles! And Isabelle! Id say she is the one who helped the boy get away.

Fate, it must be. Maybe a prophet can tell us something if we have one.

Alas

G.o.ds

Whats happening now? Ive almost finished my article! But it has no use if hes not dead.

Oh chill. You heard Shadows news, right? Well, get to it!

But its not eye-catching enough! Isabelles injured, and we dont really have a Mystery alchemist.

Make something up then!

Oh, youre right!

Come up with a t.i.tle first.

I got itExtra! The Sultan has Returned to the South! Will She Reshuffle All Forces in the Wizarding World?!

Oh, I got one too! Hear Ya! A Mystery Alchemist is Processed into Someones Puppet?! It Turns Out to be

So which magazine are we going to contact?

Voice of Wizards or Wizardry Time?

They publish like every ten years or a century. We cant wait that long!

How about Precision Sky? Theyre monthly.

I guess you can but its held by Floating Mech City. Were going to anger Bogula for good.

Aw who cares? To h.e.l.l with him.

So well

do this then!

With a smile on both sides, Talos slowly closed its eyes.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of a stone tower in Silent Hill, a flock of ravens suddenly cried loudly.

The ruler of Silent Hill, Taurus, sat beside the fireplace with a number of iron racks nearby. Every rack was full of ravens, each staring at each other with their bright beady eyes.

Get in, Taurus said in an old voice.

Following his words, the rooms window was knocked open by a sudden gale. Several spirit feelers landed behind Taurus.

Mister Taurus, are we doing something regarding Shadows news? It was a voice recreated by pure spirit power.

Taurus replied without looking back, Humph! Do something? How about you give us a suggestion?

The spirit feelers from different individuals fell into a heated discussion.

Get her while shes weak! an extremist said.

I agree. I certainly do not want to go through her dominance again. It was another old voice this time.

But killing Isabelle does us no good. We arent the one ruling Fairy World. She has nothing to do with us anyway.

But Dark Castle is too close to Silent Hill. Who knows whether Isabelle will come for us next, once she gains her true strength?

Another loud raven cry suddenly silenced everyone. They all looked at Taurus.

Lets put this matter aside for now.

Despite his voice, Taurus form looked straight and energetic.

But

Who among you can prove Diablos claim? During their conversation, Diablo used 13 words that suggested uncertainty. If we disregard these elements, we can only know two things for sure. One, Isabelle is back, and two, shes wounded. As for the extent of her wound, how she got wounded, her next move, her att.i.tude toward Fairytown, and whether shes going to leave again They all remain as mysteries. How can you be sure that we should kill Isabelle?

Besides, lets suppose Isabelle is in a terrible condition. Will Isabella allow us to kill her teacher? Yes, Dark Castle has lost its former glory, but they still have their old tricks. Are we really going to declare war against Dark Castle? Were allies by name. Doing so will not help us in the long run.

However we CAN ask someone else to scout for info. Ourepa, I heard that youre a good friend of Bird of Paradise Yorditemis, no? Taurus asked a question.

Yes, a gentle female voice replied, several decades ago, I was invited to try out perfumes in Manda Plane, together with Yorditemis.

Sweetmoon Federation presented an extraordinary perfume this time, and I managed to acquire a bottle of it. You can go look for Bird of Paradise and talk about your old days.

A bottle decorated by an exquisite box appeared beside Ourepa.

I see. Oh yes, we do need to meet each other after all this time. Ourepa chuckled.

Dismissed. Taurus waved a hand.

As everyone left the room, a new voice suddenly interrupted the silence.

Mister Taurus, apart from Isabelles matter, about that Mystery alchemist

Yeah, a second voice spoke up, hes not there yet, but he has an unpredictable future. Maybe we should you know, seize him?

Taurus grinned and stood up from his chair.

As he moved, the fireplace changed and s.h.i.+fted until it showed the image of Angor before the boy was taken away.

About him I just learned something interesting from Talos. Leave him be for the moment. Hes not someone we Silent Hill can keep. Oh ho Now Im wondering what Bogula is going to do.
