Rebirth Of Abium 62 Chapter 62: Shackles

Everyone inside the carriage became puzzled, even including Abium. But soon, the answer came from Azolla.

'Because she got something precious.'

'Hm? What do you mean? Is that dragon scale that valuable?' Abium asked. Well, he too has some interest in that dragon scale.

'That outer scale won't be much use except for ornament, but there is still some precious substance inside that scale.' Azolla said with an alluring tone made Abium's elven ears to perked up.

'What do you mean? Are there still some secrets inside that dragon scale? Why didn't you mention that earlier?' If he had known that, he would definitely pick that up first. Azolla chuckled.

'It's bronze dragon blood essence. she is going to extract the bronze dragon blood essence from that scale and may try to transfuse into her circulatory system.'

'What? wouldn't that dragon blood harm her body?' Abium startled inside. Is she transfusing another race's blood into her human body? He had never heard of anything like that in the past.

'Now that i thought about it, mentor Zivior also told me something about shackles, right? Is that also related to this?' He wondered. At that time, Abium didn't have any time to ask about this to Azolla and completely forgot about it. As he was about to ask about that in detail, Azolla answered.

'The strength of the people of all mortal races in our maternal plane are completely tied up by some G.o.ds kid. For example, without any one of those G.o.d blessing or approval, normal mages won't be able to break through into a higher tier, and their spirit cultivation speed also decreased to very low.'

'Is that maybe the reason other ancient mages escaped to other planes?'

'I don't know, kid. I don't know why and when they did something like that, but these G.o.ds governing our maternal plane done this after that last war.' She said with a serious tone. Abium was only able to understand a part of what she had spoken earlier but didn't interrupt her.

'So, mages' only way is to escape from the shackles is this bloodline transfusion method. That's what she is planning to achieve.' Abium now understood why she became suddenly excited.

'So, if she uses the normal method, how many years will it take for her to enter into a next stage?'

'If she uses the normal spirit technique to cultivate her spirit, then it would take at least 200 years to enter into the 3rd tier mage.' Abium's jaw dropped.

'400 years?! Won't she die before that?' From her outer look, Abium could guess she already looked like 50 years old. He knew her real age must be already crossed 400 hundred or more.

'Yes, kid. So she has to search for another way.' Abium suddenly thought about him and asked hurriedly.

'What about me? How many years would it take for me to break through into a second-tier mage?'

'Hmm, from the speed you are progressing i can say it would take at least 10 to 30 years, kid.' Abium's eyes widened. More than ten years? What will he do if the demons invade his territory? Although he picked up the safest place, still he can't rule out the possibility those demons would invade his territory using other means.

'Although only high tier demons and below levels will invade our continent but still they will come in large numbers.' He clenched his fist tighter and pondered.

'Ha! Then i have to visit Count Hendrison's territory. Let's see what really lurking in that area.' As he was making a plan, Azolla replied.

'As for others why those G.o.ds did this, you have to find out on your own kid. I can help you with some aspects, but as for the secrets, you have to explore and find out about that truth.' Her reply made Abium grumble inside.

'what will happen if I inject that dragon blood inside my body?' He got curious.

'Hehe, for that, you have to find another dragon scale, kid. Well, I would be surprised if that woman managed to extracts a single drop of blood essence from that scale.' Her reply made him realize he needs to know more. But it's not the right time for him to research those things. Soon, he noticed Lily took out another item from her ring and gave it to him.

'Hm? What is this?' It was just a scroll that contains weird letters written in an unknown language, and slightly, he sensed the smell of blood oozing out from that scroll. He quickly sniffed it and confirmed.

Blood!

The one who wrote this letter really used blood instead of ink! Except for those demons who would do something like that?

'Is this that snakehead demon's work?' Abium's lips firmly pressed together.

'If Lily has stolen this letter from that demon's spatial ring, then it must be written in the abyssal language.' Abium heard of that language name multiple times in the past.

'I should go and check if the magic tower holds any abyssal language book.' As he was in deep thought, Helena started to speak.

"Care to explain who this pretty lady is?" Her cold tone brought him back to reality.

"Eh? Y-Yes, she is my old friend." Abium stuttered while signaled Lily to nod.

"Ahem! I can see that you are terrible at lying Abi. Now, who is she?" Helena gave a suspicious glance at both of them and pressed further.

"Ugh! I will explain to you once we reached the mansion, got it?" Abium said with a sigh. Meanwhile, Camilla flapped her transparent wings in front of Lily and stared at her with a scowl.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the southern district and reached the Baron's mansion. He noticed baron's carriage also came before them, and he also walked out of the carriage.

Butler welcomed everyone.

"My lord! A guest is waiting for all of you in the main hall."

"Who is that?" Baron furrowed his brow.

"I don't know my lord, but she seems to be looking our lord baron Abium."

"It must be my sister Sara!" Lily shouted excitedly and dashed towards the inner hall without minding others' puzzled gazes. Abium and others followed after Lily, and finally, their sights landed on the wavy black-haired young lady.

She already changed her a.s.sa.s.sin like a black costume and now wore a tunic type dress. Once she heard the multiple footsteps came from the entrance, she quickly stood up from the couch and waving at her sister.

"Hey, sis! That was fast. I thought it would take hours for you guys to come back." She said with a broad grin.

But the expression of Helena and Baron was priceless! Both of them frozen in shock like a statue for a few seconds and soon regained their senses.

"W-What is she doing here?!" Helena's body quivered a little. The next thing she did was, Helena quickly unsheathed her sword and dashed forward to attack her.

"STOP!"

But before Helena could try to attack Sara, Abium stopped her and explained to everyone what had happened a few hours in detail.

"So, they were also basically victims and being used." He ended his talk.

"B-But she killed the king in front of everyone, right? Won't it become a problem for us?"

The first one to shout in panic was Helena, while baron listened with a serious expression.

'Look who is talking, a girl dares to slap a n.o.ble in front of everyone.'

Abium knew about what would happen if this news leaks out. Because if somebody finds out, they were giving refugee to the a.s.sa.s.sin who killed the king, no one can predict what will happen.

"So that's what happened, huh! But why did you went on your own?" After she calmed herself, Helena asked. Meanwhile, Camilla stood on her sister's shoulder and nodding along with her sister.

"Tsk, Who will protect your sister if I take both of you to battle an enemy? Also, Helena, share those cultivation techniques and sword arts to lord baron. You both need to get stronger soon." After gave a scolding, Abium advised them.

"I'm sorry. So, is it okay to share those techniques?" Helena bit her lips and asked.

"Yeah! Those techniques will be no use for me anyway. Lord Baron, you can also teach those techniques to your disciples and other students."

"Oh! Thank lad. If you need anything, tell me." Abium nodded at Baron's reply then shifted his gaze towards those sisters.

"Lad, what do you plan to do with these two girls?." Baron Auguinare asked curiously. Although he didn't like the idea of helping an a.s.sa.s.sin, now he sighed while noticing that elven kid's stubborn expression. He knew the main enemy was already escaped somewhere and appeared to be an otherworldly creature.

"I don't have any idea, Lord Baron. If it were before, I wouldn't care much. But I already promised them that I would help them to escape from this." he also had some plans for those two girls. Mostly, he needs this thief girl with his side in the future. From his perspective, her understanding of the spatial element was high level.

"Mmm? Why not ask about this to your teacher?"

Abium firmly shook his head at Baron Auguinare's suggestion.

'Even though he is good at me, I don't fully trust teacher Zivior.' Also, Abium already made up his mind.

"I am planning to bring them to my territory along with Helena and Kuran. For now, I think that would be the safest place for both of them."

"Hmm, good idea. Yes, here it is not safe for that girl. Most of the n.o.bles already knew her ident.i.ty-."

"Moreover, they put a bounty of 3000 white gold on her head in the adventurers guild," Helena interjected.

"What? that soon?! Who did that?" Lily's face turned pale.

"Roysia said it was those royal knight elite members. That must be the reason they didn't come to the garden, and they directly went there to place a bounty on your sister's head."

"3000, huh! Even some first-tier mages will search for her." Abium surprised. He also has a feeling Margery will definitely find out about her ident.i.ty soon.

She was the one who gathers all information about secret organizations and even knew some of their hideout locations. That was the reason Abium thought she would soon find out about her eventually. So before that happens, they have to get out of this city.

'I also have to go back and get some materials in the magic tower.' He thought of going back once the ceremony was over.

As they were talking about this soon, once again, butler interrupted their talk and whispered something to Baron's ear.

"Oh! It seems the royal family summoned all the n.o.bles to return to the castle now. Especially you lad, it appears your teacher is waiting for you."

Abium startled, and quickly, both of them walked out of that mansion and moved towards the castle.

…

Outside the castle gate, there stood two hooded opposite of the castle gate while watching what was going.

"Rilos, Why can't we just go and ask what happened to someone?" Yalya grumbled.

"Don't you feel who is inside? If he found out we are lurking inside the castle, then we will be screwed." Rilos scolded her. Yes! Both of them were those necromancers who just killed that black-robed mage Hogg a few minutes ago and now came here to check.

As they were about to search for a whom to ask, a luxurious carriage stopped in from of them. Soon, a 15-year-old elven kid walked out from that carriage, followed by a middle aged man. From their clothing, Rilos guessed both of them must be n.o.ble, and his russet brown eyes squinted a little when he saw that elven kid.

'Hm? Have I met this kid before?' He felt this figure looked so familiar but couldn't able to recall where he had met this kid. While Rilos was pondering about this, Yalya already went forward and initiated the conversation.

"Excuse me? Can you please explain what happened inside?" Yalya walked forward and asked Abium with a warm smile.

"Hm? Yes, my lady. During the royal banquet, our king pa.s.sed away due to severe illness of the curse." Abium replied and observed the lady stood in front of him. Meanwhile, Baron whispered some words to his ears and quickly walked inside the entrance.

Abium hadn't met this woman even in the past life, but from the scan, he identified she was a second-tier mage. He also sensed the same amount of spirit oozing out from the other hooded guy who stood a few feet away from him.

'But why would a mage standing here and asking these questions to me?' Abium confused. As he was pondering, his amber eyes soon caught the skull-shaped tattoo on her neck.

'f.u.c.k! Necromancers!' His amber pupil dilated and soon returned back to normal.

"Oh! We too heard about that from others, but the answer is still not satisfactorily." Yalya said with a smirk and was about to cast some mind-reading spell. But a hand gripped her shoulder from behind stopped her action.

"Mister, are you the newly t.i.tled baron?" Rilos asked while walking towards him. Abium also noticed when she was about to cast a spell but thanked this necromancer in his heart.

'i could use blink spell to escape, but still, this lady is an abnormal one.'

Abium returned his gaze towards the speaker while avoiding Yalya's venomous stare and nodded.

"yes sir, I didn't expect others to recognize me so soon, sir."

"Well, you are the only elf, so I made a guess." Rilos arrived near to Abium and said.

"So, do you need anything else, sir?" Abium hid his nervousness inside and probed. He had a feeling; they came here to check about what had happened here.

"No. We will be taking our leave, my lord. We are leaving now, Yalya." Rilos quickly dragged her and promptly vanished from there, leaving Abium alone at the entrance.

'What was that all about?' He shook his head and entered inside.

Meanwhile, a few hundred meters away, both Yalya and Rilos stood while glaring at each other.

"Why did you stopped me?" Yalya asked in annoyance.

"Humph. He also ready to cast some spell at that time, Yalya. If both of you started a fight there, even before you kill him, that monster inside that castle would stop us and might capture us." Rilos said with a sigh then continued.

"He also noticed something about us. If my guess is right, he seems to be already aware of our organization's symbol. I also overheard earlier; this elf has some connection with that crown prince." Rilos replied while pointing his finger towards that tattoo on her neck.

"hm? Isn't that more enough for us to kill him now?"

"It's not time to reveal ourselves to the public yet. Don't act like your elder brother."

"humph. Don't compare me with that Grazius, Rilos. So, who is going to take care of this elf?"

"I heard this elf chose that Alastall territory where Murius is staying now. I think his strength should be enough to take care of this kid."

"Eh? I thought you sent him to take care of our friend's daughter in Holy See's territory." Yalya narrowed her eyes.

"That child is also with him there. Now she is slowly recovering from the trauma of her mother being burned alive in front of her," Rilos said with a grim expression.

"Those religious fools, They even went on that length to kill her just because she is a necromancer's wife, huh."

"That's the reason we are going to end that light church's tyrant rule."

Yalya nodded her head, and both disappeared into the dark alley while discussing.
