Return of The 8th Class Mage

Chapter 42 part2

“Who are.......!”

However, it was meaningless struggling of him.

Already frozen energy was gathered under Daniel’s foot.

And its energy froze the air and stuck his foot to the ground.

“Y, you.....?”

A little boy, and magic.

With this fact, he could guess who it was.

So he is the boy. Mage Ian Page.

‘Did he arrived this fast? From the fashionable society? Wait, most of all.....’

An essential talent of assassins that is Erasing any trail as an assassin, and catching a sign of movement and a trail.

Daniel was one of the best among the Coldwalkers.

However, he couldn’t recognize Ian’s approach.

“It’s been an older hobby of yours than I imagined. I mean, making up like a lady. Thanks to that, it helped me to recognize you.”

“You, who are you? How do you ......?”

“So you already killed Cecelia?”

“Are you the one who escaped from us? Or.....”

“Well done. You accomplished one of my wishes.”

Daniel kept asking and questioning.

However, Ian didn’t answer any of his.

He came here just to accomplish his goal.

“So now.....”

“W, wait! You better capture me alive!”

“I waited for this moment for long. Finally, I can kill you with my very hand.”

“.......What?”

“Finally, I avenge for my comrades.”

“I hadn’t killed any comrades......”

“None, yet. Of course.”

A freezing energy started to climb Daniel’s body.

From his thigh, waist, abdomen, chest and to his fingers.

“It’s still ten years left to happen.”

“Gahhhhh.......!”

Daniel struggled desperately.

It wasn’t an instinct of survive.

A regret that he couldn’t be able to relay information to his country.

He was different from Cecelia.

Unmatched his characteristics, but he was a perfectly trained dog by his country.

“Just think like this. In a previous time, you killed my comrades.”

Soon the ice reached to the chin, and finally his head.

Daniel’s whole body were frozen.

“Now it’s your turn to be killed.”

Daniel couldn’t understand what’s Ian saying.

Forever.

“That’s fair, isn’t it?”

After a while, Ian tapped the ice block.

Soon, it started to crack.

Daniel’s body was released from the ice block.

It was a glimpse of a moment that he was frozen.

However, his body left no blood at all.

‘Let’s see.’

Ian started to check Daniel’s corpse.

To eradicate any dangerous items that will threat Ian later.

Such as order of Coldwalker, or any other articles similar.

Fortunately, there were no such things.

‘And his mana inscription was.....’

Daniel’s mana inscription was located at under the right shoulder.

When Ian found it, mages arrived in the prison.

Other mages heard that Ian had headed to the ivory tower.

Since the tower lord had to the left at the royal palace, archmage Ronan brought others as the leader.

“This.... What is going on here?”

Cecelia’s corpse which was laying down on the floor as holding her neck.

A corpse of a mysterious man.

Ronan Wanted Ian to explain this situation.

“Why Cecelia is.... and who is this man?”

Ian didn’t reply.

A massive storm had passed the Greenriver empire.

The first thing was mana inscription test for the whole Empire citizens.

Literally, ‘whole’ members of the empire was the target of the test.

From every low-rank people to royalties.

For every people in every province. It was an order of the emperor.

It was a bit late treatment, but it had to be done.

“Already two members of royal palace are missing! One maid and royal secretary! While they are manipulating this empire, what have you done? Tower Lord. Answer! You asked me to give authority of this matters to the ivory tower, you said you would find out these spies, didn’t you?”

The emperor’s fury was straightly headed to the ivory tower.

The ivory tower was uniquely allowed to investigate Cecelia.

However, they didn’t figure out anything. Instead, they almost let these spies make contact.

And it seemed other spies were manipulating around to plant bombs.

The tower Lord had nothing to say about it.

“I cannot trust the ivory tower’s capacity anymore, so I retake all their authority of investigation from this moment. Hence, from now on, give imperial army information you have collected. Do you understand?”

The royalty and the ivory tower were supposed to be balanced as a parallel mutual relationship.

However, for now, the ivory tower had no such power.

The royalty had every reason and power.

The ivory tower had to admit for this time.

“As you command, your highness.”

The council was filled with the emperor, the crown prince and every liege men.

And in the middle of the council, the tower lord Herbert gently received the emperor’s order.

“Be gone. You must have many things to do.”

With strong face, the emperor returned the tower lord.

The parallel relationship wasn’t easy to be maintained.

Sometimes he had to treat them as a friend, but sometimes as a political enemy.

It was a balanced game that only the emperor could do.

‘I wish he could catch what I am doing here.’

The emperor briefly looked down the seat of the crown prince, located at the right under of the emperor’s seat.

The crown prince was smiling like innocent children.

It seemed he was just excited that the ivory tower got revoke.

‘........... Still far to go.’

After sighed, the Emperor started the next topic.

The ivory tower was the most responsible for this event.

However, it was also the ivory tower who distinguished themselves to the empire mostly.

Precisely, the youngest arch mage of the ivory tower.

“Mage Ian Page, come out and bow to the emperor highness.”

With the voice of an inner coffin, a boy entered the council room.

He wore immaculate cloth and made his hair very gently.

It was the second time that Archmage Ian Page had called.

“Good to see you again, Ian Page.”

Opposite to the tower lord, the emperor welcomed Ian warmly.

The Emperor Terry Greenriver said to Ian.

“Before we start this topic, I will give you a chance to explain to everyone. As we received the report, there might be someone who wanted to hear it directly. Can you summarize what happened at there?”

From fashionable society to the prison of the ivory tower.

What had happened, and what Ian had thought and taken an action.

The emperor was asking of that.

Of course, everyone in the council already had known the detail.

The emperor was just giving Ian to appeal himself.

“Of course, your highness.”

“Then tell me. What had happened at the night?”
