Armipotent

Chapter 1692  Crazed King

"Make sure Duke Amalric doesn't notice your movement! If you execute your job well, you and your family will be included to move to the higher world, a better world than this world!"

"Yes, Lord Arkir! You can be at ease. No one is suspecting me, and they never will!"

"This will be our last contact to avoid any suspicion. I will meet you after the ceremony!"

Count Fontanella bowed his head toward the person he called Lord Arkir.

The masked figure nodded and turned around, leaving the room. He did not leave through the window. As if he could use teleportation, disappeared from the room.

Tang Shaoyang forgot to send one of his shadows into this masked figure's shadow. He missed a big lead as he was not expecting them to leave all of a sudden. He was too focused to understand what they talked about.

Tang Shaoyang was aware of what would happen in the capital, a rebellion to overthrow the king, Sebastia Mateo Estanyol. But it sounded like it was not a rebellion from the way Count Fontanella said it. They used the word ceremony, and there was a second ceremony at the border.

He recalled what happened at the border. The conversation did not specify which border it was, but there would be a clash at the border of Salyra Kingdom and Zaren Kingdom. It was the war.

From the information he gathered from Baron Navares. Baron Navares would summon a void creature during the war. The ceremony they talked about might be the summoning. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He sent the three shadow spirits, not expecting to get anything from tonight's investigation. But he got a big lead. If not for his carelessness, he might find the actual group behind the summoning.

However, it was still a big lead. He acquired a name, Arkir. He recalled the list of the Salyra Kingdom's nobles.

"There's no one named Arkir…"

Tang Shaoyang realized Arkir was not on the list, meaning Arkir was not part of the Salyra Kingdom. That was his guess, and this Arkir might be his target. Or maybe he forgot, and Ira might know more about the nobles than him.

He left the bed and summoned his team again. They just left his room two hours ago, and now they were called out for another meeting. A few grumbled, protesting. But they did not say anything when he found a big lead about their target.

Ira, Lucia, Nayla, and Agnes were double-checking the noble list. They had the lists, including all their family members. They did not find Arkir on the noble list.

"What about the external organization based in The Salyra Kingdom? They might disguise themselves as a mercenary corps like us, or maybe a merchant group."

Ira brought Agnes and Nayla with her to visit The Daenelis Clan. Long-distance communication only works with the team in the different kingdoms. They could not communicate with The Deanelis Clan who was in the same city with them.

Half an hour later, Ira returned with more information in her hand. There was no one named Arkir in The Daenelis Clan's top list either. However, they knew a person named Arkir. Arkir often managed the dealing between the merchant group and the Royal Family. He was the head butler of the Estanyol Family.

Tang Shaoyang quickly sent his three shadows to the Royal Family and tried to find Arkir. He sent one to the butler's residence which he expected, Arkir's room was empty. The two shadow spirits looked for Arkir in the Royal Family's residence.

He found something interesting, the current king of the Salyra Kingdom, Sebastia Mateo Estanyol. Not in his bedroom, but sitting on the throne by himself. Wearing his royal robe, sitting lazily on his throne while holding a glass of wine. King Sebastia shook the glass of wine, looking at the wine twirl with a slight smile. No one in this throne hall, but him. It looked like The King was waiting for someone. It did not take long before Tang Shaoyang found who The King was waiting for.

The same masked person in the black cloak who met Count Fontanella appeared in the throne hall. Arkir approached the throne and knelt to King Sebastia.

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty."

King Sebastia grinned widely hearing the report, "Good! Very Good! You already know what to do when the ceremony starts, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will send my family and return to you after!" Arkir replied without raising his head.

"No! No! No! You must leave this world before it's too late, Arkir. You are the only loyal subject I cherish. I don't want to lose you just like how I lost Julia and Octavia. You must follow Void Cult to their world and live for me. This is an order, Arkir!"

King Sebastia started his words gently, and he raised his voice at the end.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will leave with the Void Cult as soon as the ceremony starts."

Arkir finally stood up and pulled off his mask. He was an old man with long white hair and a white beard, smiling at King Sebastia, "This old man wishes to meet you again on a better occasion in the future, Your Majesty."

King Sebastia waved his hand, dismissing his head butler, "You can leave now, Arkir."

Arkir nodded and put his mask back. Then his figure disappeared from the throne hall.

As soon as Arkir left the throne hall, King Sebastia raised his glass to the air, "Don't worry Julia! I will send all people in this world to accompany you in another world! Then I will follow you too!"

King Sebastia chugged the glass of wine into the point spilling over to his robe and throne. He finished the wine and raised the empty glass to the air once more before raising his voice. He shouted by himself in the throne hall.

"Soon! Everyone in this world will know how I felt. My pain! They will share my pain!"

Tang Shaoyang was surprised by the twist, but there must be more behind this. The reason why the king went crazy. This time he did not forget to have one of his shadow spirits to follow Arkir.
