Chapter 1999: Don’t Understand... Don’t Understand...

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Find me the murderer! No matter who it is, I want him dead!” Andre’s furious howl rang through the royal study.

The courtiers were all shaking with fear, afraid to speak.

They could understand His Majesty’s wrath. The military generals’ cases were still undergoing investigation, and before there was even a result, these generals, including their families, were all murdered. On top of that, it happened in Rodu.

This was akin to giving the king of the mighty Roth Empire a tight slap.

In addition, this also made all the courtiers a little worried and fearful. They thought that they would be very safe in Rodu, but they never expected that someone would actually dare to murder generals and their entire families. That meant that they might very well be the next ones dead.

Andre calmed himself down, and told the other courtiers, “From now on, the Empire will be going into 1st-tier battle preparation. Start sending resources and soldiers to the front lines to prepare for war anytime.”

“Yes!”

The courtiers bowed to accept the order.

“Dismissed.” Andre turned to leave as the courtiers bowed to see him off.

“Did you find out who did it?” Andre asked softly when he got up to the observatory.

“Your Majesty, based on the tracks left behind, it should’ve been an orc. To be capable of that, it must be at least a 10th-tier orc. But according to our investigations, the orcs’ 10th-tier powerhouses were all in Twilight Forest that day. These tracks could be fake,” a man in a black robe replied with a slight bow as he appeared from the darkness behind Andre.

“That coward Auster is still putting up an act. With that kind of guts, he would never dare to provoke me now,” Auster scoffed coldly.

The man in black remained silent.

“Continue with the investigations. I want to see who exactly dares to do something like this in my Rodu,” Andre ordered.

“Yes,” the man in black replied, and his body faded into the darkness.

After handing over more than half of his secret stash, Mag still did not manage to escape death.

“Chip off the old block,” Mag said with a resigned expression as he watched Irina count the amount of the mountain of gold happily.

However, today’s incident also reminded Mag that he should not say anything about exchanges with a stranger. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain himself if the girl turned up in the middle of the night for an exchange.

“Are you still going out tonight?” Irina looked up at Mag.

“Yes. I’m meeting someone. I intend to go to take a look around the houses of the generals who were murdered to make sure if it was done by Josh.” Mag nodded.

“I’ll go with you, then. I’m more sensitive to the black fog,” Irina said as she kept the pile of treasures with a wave of her hand.

“Okay. With you around, it’ll be easier to find him.” Mag dropped a bootlick at the right place.

“Of course.” Irina smiled. This worked very well on her.

Not long later, someone knocked on the door.

Mag jolted first. He thought carefully about whether he said anything about exchanges to other women.

However, the nine short knocks and one long knock quickly calmed him down.

He opened the door. Indeed, standing outside were Merante and Noya.

The two were stunned when they saw Mag at the door. After that, they put their guard up.

“It’s me. Come on in.” Mag used the face-altering mask to change into another face. It was only normal that the two could not recognize him.

When they heard Mag’s voice, they understood, and went into the restaurant.

The warm tavern made them a little more relaxed.

Noya quickly noticed Irina, who was standing by the counter. He was shocked, but quickly retracted his gaze courteously. He turned to look at Mag, and said sorrowfully, “Boss Mag, do you have food? I’m starving from flying around the mountains on the back of a steel eagle.”

Mag looked at the two of them. It was indeed tough to fly in the mountains for two days on a steel eagle with no wind-blocking abilities in this weather.

“You can wash up there. I’ll make you some food.” Mag pointed to the washroom at the side as he walked towards the kitchen.

“Sister-in-law, how do you do?” Noya greeted Irina courteously. Although such a beautiful and elegant woman was a rare sight, he could still feel her strong presence.

That was what he felt only in front of his grandfather. This meant that this beautiful woman was already a 10th-tier powerhouse, and killing him would be as easy as killing an ant for her.

As for Boss Mag, his grandpa said that he had no confidence in defeating Boss Mag.

Mag still used whatever ingredients he had. However, he did not intend to sell any dishes that were sold in Mamy Restaurant.

In no time at all, Mag made a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice each for the two of them. It was a simple and quick dish.

“Thank you, Boss Mag. I’ll dig in then.” Noya picked up his spoon, and wolfed down the Yangzhou fried rice as he immersed himself in its deliciousness.

“This is… too good?!” After licking the plate, Noya exclaimed unsatisfactorily. He felt his entire body become warm and fuzzy, and the exhaustion from the past two days was completely gone.

“Don’t understand… Don’t understand…” Merante, who had also just placed his spoon down, was puzzled.

“Grandpa, what don’t you understand?” Noya asked curiously.

Mag and Irina also looked at him in bewilderment.

Merante said, “How can a powerhouse make such good food?”

Mag was very satisfied with this kind of unexpected bootlicking. If he did not have something important tonight, he would make a couple of dishes more, with a few glasses of drinks.

“Let’s start on the important things now that you’re done eating. Have you discovered anything on your way north?” Mag asked the two.

“We discovered some dispersed evil aura, but it was very difficult to tell its traces.” Merante shook his head. He looked at Mag, and said, “You told us to come to Rodu, did you find anything?”

Mag said, “There were a few family murder cases last night in Rodu. The victims were all the generals related to this campaign against orcs and their families. The murder means were very cruel. In addition, the murderer set everything ablaze to end off. I suspect that this incident is related to Josh. He might have returned to Rodu.”

“Let’s take a look at the scene.” Merante stood up with a serious expression.

Mag was not in a hurry to leave. He looked at Merante and Noya as he said, “This is Rodu. It might be an exaggeration to say that the roads are filled with 10th-tiers, but there are definitely more of them than in the mountains. Be careful in whatever you do. If they set eyes on you, things would be difficult.”

“In terms of stealth and invisibility, there is no race that does it better than us, the Ghost Clan.” Merante smiled confidently.

“Let’s set off then. We’ll go to the site to understand the situation.” Mag nodded.

In the darkness, the group disappeared from Romo street in a flash.

“The septaria oracle is very active. He has been appearing in Rodu recently indeed..” Merante looked at the spots of golden glow as his expression turned grave.
