Chapter 236

Miorich’s mansion had an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard . The high walls and tight security had isolated the mansion from the outside world . In the middle was the mansion, where the general took care of important business . Anyone who tried to enter by force would either be captured and imprisoned or killed . The transmission portal was located next to the mansion .



The portal was the only way the general and the emperor could communicate when the general was away at war . The portal was right next to Miorich’s residence in order to prevent any information from getting out . It was also the innermost part of the mansion, and it would be difficult for intruders to fight through every level of security check . This was done in most cities to prevent security breaches . Everyone knew the importance of securing information .

Anfey did not know when Miorich began putting the plan in motion and how he had sent his orders . Miorich’s men were very efficient, however, and the portal was already activated by the time they reached it . Even a common person could sense the magic surges coming off of the portal . The crystal in the middle turned from a solid mass into pure energy, and was floating in the air above the portal like mist .

"What are we doing here?" Suzanna asked quietly .

"We’re going to Sacred City . "

"Sacred City? We’re teleporting everyone?" Suzanna asked, shocked . This was such a lavish way of transporting people . Transporting across such a long distance would cost thousands of magic crystals . It would be more riches than a normal family could ever dream of .

"No, just a few of us . "

"What about Shally?"

"Shally’s coming with us, of course . She's my sister too, and I won’t abandon her," Anfey said with a smile .

Suzanna frowned but smiled nonetheless . She did not know if that was the truth or it was Anfey trying to please her, but it didn’t matter . As long as Shally was safe, Suzanna was happy .

"Are we using the portal?" Niya walked over and asked . "Will I see father again soon?"

"Of course," Miorich said, glancing at the mages around the portal . "Are you happy?"

"Yes!" Niya said excitedly . "Of course! You’re the best!" She squealed and hugged Miorich .

The runes around the portal slowly lit up as the mages began chanting . One of the mages took away the protective dome over the portal, and the magic surges became several times stronger . The energy above the portal rose upwards . The energy did not disperse in the air, like it should have, but instead lurched towards the people standing around the portal .

Anfey frowned, but did not try to avoid it . He knew that energy like this would not harm him . As the energy came closer and closer, it began to condense . It finally became a thin column and crashed into Anfey’s chest and disappeared . It was as if something was absorbing the energy . Everyone frowned and stared at Anfey, confused by the strange occurrence .

"What just happened?" Miorich asked .

"Nothing," Anfey said . He moved his arms and smiled .



"Really?"

"Really . "


"Alright," Miorich said . He looked at Anfey, who did not display any signs of discomfort . He turned to Niya and said, "Come stand here . Laura had been asking about you . Don’t forget to visit her when you’re back . "

"Of course not," Niya said, smiling . "I miss her a lot, as well . " Laura was Miorich’s daughter and Niya’s good friend .

Anfey closed his eyes . He had already realized that the Arch Druid’s gift could absorb the forest’s energy and become one with nature . That was why he could see things that were far away from him . It was the Heart of Nature that absorbed the energy just then, but compared to the energy in the forest, this energy was much more powerful .

In the past he could only see the ants, but now he could see the details on the ants' bodies . In the past he could only see shapes of people, but now he could see the details of their features . Everything became so much more clear and bright, and all the colors became more vibrant . Anfey had never experienced anything like this . It was as if he had always looked at the world through fog, and could only see it clearly with the Heart of Nature .

As Niya was walking over to the portal, her ears suddenly moved . In the past, Anfey would have never been able to spot something like that . Miorich was watching Niya, and as he blinked, Anfey saw his eyelids wiping away dirt from his eyes . Suzanna sighed, and Anfey could see the shape of her breath and how it blew a few tiny bugs away .

It was hard to describe what it was like to see the world in such a detailed and clear way . Not only could he see more clearly, Anfey could feel things more acutely, as well . Before he could further enjoy this sensation, however, it began to fade . Before the power completely disappeared, however, Anfey saw one of the mage’s eyes gleam suspiciously .



"Niya!" Anfey bellowed suddenly .

Niya was already stepping onto the portal, but jumped back and turned to stare at Anfey . The others around him were frightened by his sudden shout as well, but Miorich and his men only looked at him .

"What’s wrong?" Christian asked .

"Niya, get away from that portal," Anfey said . He turned and walked to the suspicious mage .

Whenever Anfey become serious, no one would try to object . Niya stepped away from the portal and rejoined the group . Suzanna’s hand was resting on the hilt of her sword and observing the changes in the surroundings . Unlike everyone else, Suzanna did not grow up in Sacred City and did not treat Miorich as the absolute authority . She was alert, and suspecting everyone except for her friends .

Anfey walked over the mage and stared into the man’s eyes . Compared to other parts of the body, it was the hardest to lie when someone looked into one’s eyes .

"Excuse me, my lord, what can I do for you?" the mage asked .

"Christian, check the portal," Anfey said without moving his eyes away from the man .

"Me?" Christian asked . He was only a junior magister, and it would be difficult for him to check on a portal . Christian did not even have the experience, and it was almost an impossible task .

"What do you mean, my lord?" another mage interrupted and asked . Clearly, Anfey was suspecting that something was wrong . This directly affected their reputation, and it was unacceptable for the mages .

"Nothing," Miorich said . "His words are mine, and you will obey him . " Miorich did not know what was happening, but he trusted Anfey . He was familiar with Saul, and knew Saul’s students very well . After reuniting with Saul's students, he realized how mature they had become . They had been on their own for the entire time, and did not have any contact with Saul . The only person that could lead them and guide them was Anfey . Miorich would never ignore Anfey’s opinions . Anfey’s nervousness made Miorich uneasy .

Realizing that Miorich was taking Anfey’s side, the mage lowered his head and stepped back . Mages were widely respected wherever they went, but nothing was absolute . Miorich was far superior to the mages . He had no right to defy Miorich’s orders .

"Did you hear him just now?" Miorich bellowed . "Check the portal . "

The mages all jumped up and began busying themselves with checking the portal . Some retrieved books from their rings and compared the ones in the book with the one in front of them . However, no one found anything wrong .
