Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234
Walking past Susan and Anna I looked at the Asong, her aide, talking seriously and asked the duo, Susan and Anna, "What is going on there you guys?"
"Nothing, they are trying to unlock the grimoire of the Yin-widow," Anna replied.
Hearing Anna my brows frowned, with Asong's betrayal and the disappointing effects of the field negator I almost forgot about demigod Redfall's soul and the soul status candle in his mother's grimoire. Revising my expression I hoped that the dungeon seal was able to block the navigation of the soul status candle.
"Why aren't you there? Aren't you interested in the treasures the Yin-widow stole from the Yin-Yang sect treasury?" I asked Anna remembering Asong mentioned that the Yin-Yang sect wanted Yin-widow's grimoire because it contained the cards Yin-widow stole from their treasury before being excommunicated from the sect.
"Those cards are useless to those that do not know the ways of the Yin-Yang harmony sect. At best I can use them to exchange for some other riches from the Yin-Yang harmony sect." Anna spoke nonchalantly.
"So the sect has used probation to lock their cards from falling into outsiders' hands. No wonder they are so straightforward about this." I finally understood why the Yin-yang harmony sect was willing to use legal means to get the Yin-widow's grimoire from Anna. Because with probation on the cards they were useless to Anna and the only way Anna could get anything of them was to return them to the Yin-yang harmony sect for a reward.
"Yeah, I am planning to destroy those cards just to get back at them for what they did to my uncle," Anna said menacingly.
"..." I did not know the history between the Yin-Yang harmony sect and the Heatsend family but feeling Anna's baleful aura I knew they weren't allies, that was for sure.
Annoyed Anna walked towards Asong and her aide yelling, "What is taking so long? Why are you guys not able to open that old hag's grimoire yet?"
"Anna, have patience. If anything goes wrong everyone within the 100 meters of this area will be punished by the world's will for trying to deceive it," Asong said while watching her aide use the cultivated soul energies with the Yin-widow's signature to open the grimoire.
"Well, excuse me. Did you just say that there is a chance of us being punished by the world's will?" I asked hearing Asong narrate that if caught trying to cheat the world's will it will punish ever being within the hundred feet of the original crime.
"Yes, but don't worry. My aide is an expert in this, so you have nothing to worry about." Asong assured me.
"Are you hearing yourself? The aide of a politician is an expert in opening the dead card apprentice's grimoire. Those words, don't they rise flag in your mind." I said to Asong and then added, "I don't care if she is a specialist or not, get that thing out of here. I don't want my people to be implicated because of your foolishness."
"Wyatt, don't make a big deal of it, she is almost done," Just as Asong said that her aide looked at her and announced, "Done."
"See, I told you, you had nothing to worry about," Said Asong hearing her aide.
"..." I just stared at Asong and did not reply. Just then her aide summoned a candle and added, "Madam, the candle is lit that means demigod Red fall has been revived and is still alive."
"Shit, I don't know how many lives he has swallowed by now. We cannot delay anymore hurry and track his location." Asong ordered her aide.
"Yes, madam. But the flame is not healthy it keeps flickering as if it will blow off any moment. This means the soul represented by the flame is in danger of imminent death. I think something went wrong with Demigod Redfall's rebirth." Asong's aide pointed out looking at the flame of the soul status candle which kept flickering even though there is no wind blowing in the warehouse. The aide interpreted that it showed the soul represented by soul status candle's flame was in imminent danger.
Hearing her aide, the murderous look in Asong for demigod Redfall did not decrease instead she chilled at her aide and said, " Stop wasting precious time, and track him, only after we captured him will we return to the capital."
"Sorry, madam." Apologizing to Asong the aide focused to track the location of the demigod Redfall.
Meanwhile, I was panicking. In my head I hoped that the dungeon seal was able to hide the location of the demigod Redfall's soul. If Asong can trackback Redfall in the dungeon seal then Cortney and Bloodette will be implicated. Though I trust Cortney to not speak of my involvement in this matter, I did not want to put my friend in that spot. So, I had decided to come clean and seek asylum in the southern royal family if they were able to track the demigod Redfall's location to the dungeon seal.
By coming clean I did not mean to tell everything but just reveal that I had captured demigod Redfall's soul and trapped it. As to whether they will believe me or not, that did not matter. Hopeful, it doesn't come to that.
The aide focused on the soul status candle for a long time, impatient Asong snapped, "What is taking you so long?"
The aide did not immediately answer, she made sure to get her fact straight before answering Asong, "Madam, something powerful is masking the location of demigod Redfall's soul. The soul status candle is unable to track his location."
I sighed in relief hearing Asong's aide's words. I felt like a big rock was lifted off my chest. But the same was not true for the others who did not know what Redfall was up to after his rebirth. Especially, Asong. Hearing her aide's answer Asong was without words she almost forgot to breathe, capturing demigod Redfall was her top priority and the only clue she had to track his location did not pan out.
