Silent Crown Chapter 532

It was late at night, in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the Cloister of Cavern. There was a stove, from which smoke of sulphur slowly and consistently crawled out and soon spread into the whole bas.e.m.e.nt. At the same time, many different illusions of h.e.l.l appeared in the dancing fire.

The hydrargyrum was flowing in the groove on the ground and formed a complex Alchemy Array. The array extended in all directions and even spread to the ceiling. At last, it gathered around the bizarre “stove.”

With the smoke and the array, the whole s.p.a.ce of the bas.e.m.e.nt was twisted and became non-physical magic world. The music theory of the School of Abstinence filled this room and began absorbing the energy from the aether stove. All the rules of the Physical World changed completely, and this place became a projection of the Aether World.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt, the old musician Mandel was playing his Mandolin. The string trembled, making a peculiar sound.

Throughout the centuries, the School of Dinar had been studying the peculiar creatures in the Aether World. The members of the School of Dinar were good at the Path of Domain of the School of Dinar. They even created a new tactic, which was “construction of the magic land.”

The musicians of the School of Dinar knew quite a lot about the Aether World and the peculiar creatures living there, and they knew how to exchange valuable things from the Physical World with things from those creatures.

Mandel, the strongest master of the School of Dinar, was an expert on these creatures, and possessed various precious materials and treasures.

In only a few days, starting from this bas.e.m.e.nt, he successfully turned the whole Cloister of Cavern into his own “magic world,” where he was the dominator.

He had promised Xavier that he could definitely kill Ye Qingxuan. But his peer did not think so.

“Mr. Mandel, I think we should change our plan,” the young stenographer suggested, from where he stood in the corner. “The original plan may not work now.”

“Why, in particular?” Mandel asked.

“We never thought Ye Qingxuan could come here so fast.” The stenographer sighed. “Up until now, we have made many arrangements with the precondition that Ye Qingxuan would not come so quickly. Now he is already here, all our efforts become futile. The Fifth Division was built by Maxwell, so he is the boss here. I do not think Xavier will dare to contradict Maxwell.”

“Ye Qingxuan is just a dead man trapped in the fog.” Mandel sneered. “Once I kill him, we can go on as planned.”

“Master, I think you should be more careful,” the young stenographer said. “If we mess this up, the members of the Fifth Division of Anglo will do everything they can to fight against us. “Fleur-de-lis,” the evaluation system, said that Ye Qingxuan is of the master degree. Besides, he has the bloodline of Lancelot and the royal family as well. He also has a close connection with the Nine Families of the Dragon Bloodline of the East.”

“Wouldn’t that be better?” Mandel asked coldly. “If we succeeded, Earl would take back his throne again. If we caught Ye Qingxuan, it would be easier for us to attack Anglo.”

“Things are not as easy as you think.” The stenographer shook his head. “You have been living here for too long, so you have no idea how many changes have taken place outside. Ye Qingxuan is not an ordinary man.”

The sound of the mandolin suddenly stopped. Mandel slowly turned around and stared at the young stenographer.

“Auden, to be honest, I hate Anglo and this place as well. I am already too old, and I have promised the Earl to help him get this business done. I do not want to waste my time here listening to your bullsh*t. Remember, you are just a stenographer, and your job is just to serve Maxwell well” Mandel said coldly. “It is not in your place to judge me.”

The young stenographer did not reply.

Mandel turned his back to him and began to sprinkle the spices in his hand into the stove. With the sound of mandolin echoing in the bas.e.m.e.nt, the dancing fire changed its color and made some strange sounds, as if there was a mouse singing in the fire. But when he looked carefully, there was nothing there.

In fact, it was the peculiar creatures from the Aether World. Mandel had been feeding them for a long time. Usually, these creatures could cause lots of trouble, but for people who knew how to control them, they could be much of help.

After hearing what Auden had said, Mandel was becoming more and more alert about Ye Qingxuan.

Usually, the older one got, the more he was afraid of death as well as mysterious young men. It had been such a long time since he had gotten involved in this sort of business. This time, he wanted the mysterious books and some precious spices which the Earl had promised to give him. He did not want to lose his life.

Then he took out a cloth bag, picked out some spices, and carefully threw them into the stove. Suddenly, the fire went up and became more bizarre. Strong smoke spurted out.

There were many peculiar creatures in the fire, opening their mouths and moving restlessly like mice.

“They keep walking and walking and are hated by people. No one wants to take them in,” the creatures sang. “No one knows them. Many people ask them where do they come from and who they really are. They have no place to stay”

As this bizarre song echoed, the whole bas.e.m.e.nt was gradually shrouded by thick white smoke.

All of a sudden, Auden heard a string break and saw old Mandel taking off his clothes. His body had turned half-transparent and looked rather scary. Mandel had broken his own consciousness into pieces, and beastliness controlled his mind, as his body was became more like a monster at the same time.

Throughout history, all the schools had studied catastrophes. For the members of the School of Dinar, they did not need to sign a contract with catastrophes, and could easily get superpowers or gifts from these creatures.

At last, Mandel completed his transformation and temporarily became a peculiar creature of the Aether World, a “nightmare.”

He happily raised up his head and breathed in the horror permeating the air. Then he sneaked into the darkness and disappeared.
