Guo Jiang shook his head slightly, his jade pendant swinging gently with the movement. "Please explain, my friend! The currents of this court run deep and hidden from my sight."

Hogret began to speak in hushed tones, his words carrying valuable secrets. Guo Jiang listened patiently, his keen mind absorbing every detail of the complex situation being revealed to him.

The crux of the matter was this. The Orange Dragon Order and the Golden Armor Order were the two largest orders in Vellenor that supported the king. These two formidable organizations had long harbored ambitions to place one of their own as the Royal Enchanter, replacing the previous Enchanter who had died in the war against Udristan, a neighboring country.

This devastating war has been going on for a long time, fighting over a gem mine – a resource located in the middle of the border between two countries. The precious stones were said to enhance magical abilities tenfold.

The Orange Dragon Order had intended to nominate

  • Treasures and Omens.

    "Black Noble, I need these ingredients! Roc Honey, Phantom Ash, Chimera Key, Essence, Harpy Hair, Leviathan Heart, Griffin Tongue, and Werewolf Horn!" concluded Guo Jiang, his voice carrying the authority of one accustomed to having his commands obeyed.Black Nobleman's face immediately turned sour, like milk left too long in the sun.These were the most valuable possessions of an alchemist or wizard, treasures that kingdoms would wage war to possess. He felt sorry for all those precious items, each one a masterpiece of divine creation.But he could not disobey the Enchanter, who was the King's messenger. Rather than willingly hand over the items requested by the Enchanter, he would rather be beheaded on charges of obstructing the duties of the Enchanter, who was acting on the King's orders.The nobleman brought all the items requested by the Enchanter, then handed them over, asking the royal wizard to inspect them first. Each item was wrapped in silk of the finest quality, befitting

  • Enemies in the Shadows.

    The Black Noble continued his theory with the authority of one who had witnessed the rise and fall of countless warriors. "Such magic is very powerful because it is not easily read by other magicians, unless they are a reader of the future like me. And usually, such curses are only cast by someone who deeply hates their enemy," said the Black Noble seriously, his words carrying the weight of absolute truth.Guo Jiang, who had been shocked since the beginning, no longer showed any signs of surprise. Now he had to investigate who had such evil intentions toward him, his mind already calculating the possibilities like a general planning for war."Black Noble, can you tell me how that unknown figure, Er, my enemy, cast a spell and curse?""I really don't understand. I just arrived in the capital city of Torredom and have been living in the vicinity of the King's Palace for less than two days, my presence as brief as morning dew. How could someone suddenly hate me?"Before the old fortune

  • Whispers of a Deadly Curse.

    "Something bad seems to be surrounding you like a poisonous mist. Something cursed is trapping your positive aura so that you will slowly but surely die!"Clearly, these are threatening words that cut through the air like a blade through silk.In the Almaria Continent, which was full of supernatural powers, as well as spiritual powers that were different in nature from those of the Eastern continents, Guo Jiang had no choice but to believe the words of the fortune teller. The very air seemed to thrum with mystical energies that made his skin crawl with unease.It was a little forced, but Guo Jiang let the old man do what he thought was right, as an expert in fortune-telling. His hand remained close to his weapon, ready to strike at the first sign of treachery.In reality, when the man began to see the aura, his trembling hands did not touch Guo Jiang's skin. He only rubbed and tapped several parts of his face, without touching Guo Jiang at all, his movements precise despite the trembl

  • The Fortune Teller's Warning.

    Four slender pillars stood tall like ancient sentinels, their marble surfaces carved with forgotten runes that seemed to pulse with inner light. They supported the entire structure known as the Royal Treasure House, a monument to centuries of accumulated power and wealth.The walls were thick and made of brown stone, each block weighing more than a grown man could lift. The surface bore the scars of countless seasons, weathered yet unbroken, speaking of the countless storms they had endured.The windows appeared to be roughly crafted, but this only added to the building's sturdy appearance, making it difficult for anyone to break into. Iron bars crossed each opening like the teeth of some great beast, their metal blackened with age yet still gleaming with deadly promise.A large iron door gave the impression of strong defense for the entire building known as the Treasure House. The door itself was a masterwork of blacksmithing, adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to shift and

  • Tokens of Wisdom and Ominous Prophecies.

    The woman hurriedly prepared the tokens containing the other two books and handed them to the Enchanter with hands that shook like autumn leaves. Her hands were trembling with the fear of one who stood too close to overwhelming power.Bowing like a reed before the wind, she said."Grand Enchanter, all the copies of the book you requested have been prepared with the greatest care. Please take a look and let me know if there are any deficiencies that need correction!" said the woman, bowing her head like a supplicant before an altar. She did not dare to look directly into Guo Jiang's eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom and danger of ages.The Great Enchanter seemed to put the last two tokens into his ring, then asked with the courtesy of nobility."Does this require an extra fee? I mean, you have copied them in the form of tokens like this, preserving knowledge in crystallized form."The woman screamed inside her head like a caged bird desperate for freedom. "When will this wizard leave

  • The Power of Knowledge Unleashed.

    Guo Jiang was still reeling from the shock of such technology when the librarian suddenly handed him a token and asked him to touch it with his mind, the small object glowing with inner light."Try this token first, Great Enchanter, and witness the power of preserved knowledge."Guo Jiang took the token, then put his mind into it, and like opening a door to another realm...BLAM!A flood of information poured in like overflowing water, quickly filling his memory with torrents of magical knowledge that threatened to overwhelm his consciousness.Guo Jiang's face changed through a spectrum of emotions.Shocked, then happy, then even happier like a child discovering treasure."This is a very practical and great way to learn how to read books, surpassing even the methods of the ancient masters!"At that moment, his memory immediately recalled the summoning techniques, which were the complicated summoning techniques he had memorized before like pages from a forbidden grimoire.Now that he h
