The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 482: Lenko City Has Been Captured

Apparently, children, even though they haven’t manifested their magic elements yet, they have the aptitude to be artificially turned into master level mage. That’s why the Professor experimented on children.

“I see. Let’s kill him now,” I said without hesitation.

“Not yet. He might still have some other information that we can get,” Albert said.

“Yeah, but he’s a thinker. Not a fighter. What if he has a plan for when he’s captured like now? If the cult somehow managed to get him back, it will be too dangerous,” I said.

“Just let him be for now. I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, after I finished absorbing all information he knows, he will die. I’m thinking of asking him more later,” Albert said.

“Don’t let him rest. If he’s resting, his mind would be calmed down and he can think of a way to trick you. He might have realized that you have some sort of lie detector skill since he’s smart,” I said.

“You’re right. I’ll ask someone to keep him awake at all time and never get a chance to rest,” Albert said as he called someone to keep the Professor occupied.

.....

Just having children as the enemies is enough to make some of us hesitate in fighting. And other than the children, we will face other enemies as well. We can expect that some of them are actually unwilling to fight, but thanks to the brainwashing, they will end up fighting to their death.

The worst part is that if we kill those children, Celestine and probably some other people will refuse to take part in the fight. Not just that. They might even betray us to protect the children.

Sigh... I hope Victoria, Marie, Russell, old man Henry, and other researchers in Varadis, will be able to help us find the solution for their brainwashing quickly. We only have less than one week to find the solution, or we will go through the hard way.

“Well, anything else?” I asked Albert since it seems that the discussion is not over yet.

“Alright. Most of the things that the Professor knows are about his research and invention. Not just he invented something to brainwash people, he also experimented on monsters to make them stronger, while also obey him or someone he assigned. He knows very little about the cult’s plan,” Albert said.

Albert continued telling us about the monsters and other stuffs. Seems like many mutated monsters are under the cult’s control. Though some of them managed to escape. Just like the Orc Emperor that I faced back then after my first time becoming a clown.

It has been so long since then. I wonder how Thomas is doing? He’s in Consenza because he knows there will be crowd before the tournament. I’ll join up with him and perform again as a clown before the tournament. It’s also a good disguise as no one will think that the circus is related to our alliance. And Clarence the clown is the strongest clown in the world. Or at least that’s what I think. I doubt there’s any master level mage who became a clown. That’s why I think I’m the strongest clown.

I will bring the others as well, so I won’t go there right away. Maybe tomorrow since everyone will still need to rest.

“One more thing. Seems like while we are busy with fighting the cult, the cult is targeting another location and they captured it,” Albert said.

“They captured a location? Is it somewhere in Tatrama Kingdom?” I asked.

Since Albert is the one telling this to the other kings who didn’t know about this news, it must be something recent.

“No. The location doesn’t belong to any country,” Albert said.

Somewhere that doesn’t belong to any country? There’s such place?

“You mean the neutral city, Lenko, in the center of the continent!?” Harold shouted.

Lenko City in the center? I think I have heard it before. It’s the neutral city in the center where when there’s something important for the four leaders of each country would come and have important discussion.

“Right. That place has been taken over. And Gilbert has died,” Albert said.

Gilbert? Claudia informed me who doesn’t know much that Gilbert is the mayor of the neutral city.

It’s also the place where Albert and the others realized that the king of Arturo has been swapped with someone else. And the reason is because that fake king didn’t use the code they agreed on, and the fact that the fake king didn’t try to approach Claudia at all.

“So... that means there’s no longer neutral city?” I asked.

“Well, that’s that. The center of the continent has been on dispute ever since a long time ago. As for why they took it now when it’s close to the tournament, it seems like they want us to focus on Lenko more than other places. Even the tournament. What should we do about that city?” Albert asked.

This is not a discussion that I can help with. I don’t know what that Lenko City is good for. I’ll just listen to how they can find the solution for it.

Seems like they agree that it will be dangerous to leave it be. Since it’s in the center of the continent, it makes it easy for the cult from that place to go to any other country. So, we ended up having someone to go there. Not me since I’m important to protect Consenza.

“We’ll go. They won’t notice that the real king of Arturo is the one to take over Lenko. As for the territory, we can discuss it later after the tournament is over. Since Carmen and Fabio are already expert level mages, and Kron is a good friend of Fabio, I think we can do it,” Harold said.

“Okay. I will send some free agents as reinforcement. You can use them as you wish,” Albert said.

No one will think that Harold who was supposed to be dead to take over Lenko.

“Oh, about Arturo. Does anyone hear something from Toni? He’s still being trusted by the fake king, right?” I asked.

“He’s doing well. And because they are focusing on the tournament are have left to Consenza, the security is low. Toni has more freedom, but his mother still trying to get him to join the cult,” Harold said.

Toni is our important ally and also one of Harold’s son. He’s staying behind in the capital of Arturo despite the danger. And he’s doing extremely well. For me personally, I think he’s more suited to be the king than Fabio if they recapture Arturo. Though I know nothing about being a king. I’m good at being the king’s friend though.

After that, we discussed some other things. But I don’t really need to listen to that, so I focused my sight on the tortured Professor.

He is being held upside down, and from time to time, his head is dipped into a basin full of water. Well, he won’t be able to think calmly now.

Seeing the Professor being tortured, I feel slightly relieved. For such person to play with humans... And there’s also the other cult who let it happens. As expected, I won’t be able to rest easy until I could destroy the cult completely.

Finally, the discussion is over. And I returned everyone back to their home. As for Harold, tomorrow, Spot will bring him, Carmen, Fabio, Kron, and some other people to the city of Lenko. Since I have never been there and never planted a Blobby in that place, I can’t go there with portal.

I have told Harold to plant a Blobby somewhere no one can notice once everything is done in Lenko.

Anyway, once Harold has finished taking over Lenko, he will quickly go to the capital of Arturo to retrieve his kingdom back. He and his family will be extremely busy.

He won’t participate in the battle with us in Consenza, but taking over his kingdom back is also an important mission. I hope things will go well for them. And for us too.

“Alright. I’ll be leaving to Consenza tomorrow and join up with Thomas in the circus. When will you be there?” I asked Albert.

“You can transport me there a day before the tournament. I will be busy until then with the Professor and other stuffs,” Albert said.

And so, I returned back to Cassau where everyone has been waiting for us.

I told them about what Albert found out from the Professor. And as expected, they started to show hesitation when they heard our enemies are children.

“...We will really fight children?” Kayla asked.

“I hope we won’t. Marie, Victoria, old man Henry, and the others are trying their best to undo the brainwashing. At least we need to make those children to not fight us. Though if some of them have grown up, I will kill them,” I said.

I don’t want to kill children if possible. And if they have grown up, they are no longer children. So, I won’t hesitate to cut them down.

But if there’s no other choice, I will kill them. That’s the only salvation I can give them.
