1807 Trouble
The Holy Core!
Landon's eyes twinkled with an unfathomable gaze.
The Holy Core was indeed a beaut. A blinding one, but beautiful all the same.
It gave one a sense of awe and reverence, making anyone who gazes at it, feel the need to handle it with the utmost care.
Landon felt his breath stuck at the back of his throat when staring at the golden display.
The Holy Core now stood on a platform inside a massive ancient bathing pool, similar to those used in ancient Rome.
Half of the Core's surface was submerged and the other half stood afloat above the waterline.
'So that's how it is.'
Looking at the water that was now golden and the many weapons dumped into the pool, Landon understood everything.
'This is how they strengthen their weapons?... The effectiveness must have been obvious if they were willing to throw in so many weapons now.'
They weren't even afraid of water rust dumping so many well-made weapons, shields and objects in here.
Landon reckoned there should be over 17000 weapons thrown in.
Even within a normal-sized pool, do you know how many weapons can fit in at once?
Think about it.
Imagine a sword thrown in a swimming pool.
Then imagine throwing as many swords into that same pool of water.
Do you know how many thousands an average-sized pool can fit, talk less of this enormous bathing pool right here.
Sure, the bathing pool wasn't deep, allowing everyone to stand.
But where it overtakes regular swimming pools, would be how wide it was and how far it stretched.
Landon also realized that the weapons dumped only reached midway the water's height.
17000!
Just look at how many batches they were cooking up at once.
Landon frowned, but soon, his eyes lit up with a mischievous light.
'Although I can't take the Holy Core away now… Who said I can't have a little fun before I come to collect my dues?'
Hehehehehehehehehe~
.
The night was silent and uneventful.
Who would dare attack Abian's Capital City? Looking for death?
There hasn't been an attack in this Capital for over 70 years now.
Even the spies that somehow manage to sneak in, dare not make any abrupt moves.
Why? Because they knew that Morgany, especially all Morg Capital cities… were the most well-guarded place in this world.
As said time and time again, Morgany was in a league on its own, a terrifying league at that.
Peaceful… silent… Stagnant.
This was the current atmosphere state within the massive Research Storage Pool.
There were hidden guards on the ceilings, behind objects, and hidden parts of the walls, who had their eyes closed while blending in with their natural surroundings and becoming one with the air itself.
Suddenly, their expressions turned foul, all opening their eyes at the same time.
Who?
Swish!!!
Hundreds of weapons flew towards the dark silhouette, as hundreds of hidden guards made their appearance with grim murderous gazes.
.
Thap. Thap. Thap. Thap!~
The intruder had dodged their attacks with impressive cartwheels, cashing their weapons to bounce off the stony floors, with some burying themselves deep into the little crevices formed over time.
'Before we kill, we must know who this bastard is, and who sent him. Bastard! How dare he think of infiltrating their great Abian? Who gave him the guts? The impetus? The gallbladder to pull such a stunt?'
The anger in their deep dark gazes was obvious.
Their auras burst out like fire, one that was enough to burn an entire forest down.
Many hidden guards had the same thought, knowing it wouldn't do any good if they killed this guy without getting any vital information on those behind him.
The lead Hidden guard squinted his eyes, detailly scrutinizing the intruder in just under a few milliseconds.
Some attacks had torn bits of the intruder's long black cape, revealing his skin tone which was similar to theirs.
Already, this narrows it down to what continents can be excluded and which can be considered as potential enemies behind the attack.
Still, perhaps those behind the intruder had different skin tones, but it was unlikely since a majority of those with different skin tones come from places they considered Trashy nations.
Of course, the Romain continent was an exception since it flourished far better than those shitty people from the Pyno continent.
Skin tone was the same as theirs, and not pale white as snow like those from the continent of Tenola.
This narrows down the fact of the Assassin coming from either Pyno, Adonis, Veinitta or Morgany.
.
Pyno?... Very unlikely.
Veinitta?... Not impossible. Over the years, there have been some bastards poking their heads, sticking out like a sore thumb over there.
It could be any of those bastards.
Adonis?... Very likely. Those bastards have always been their neck-to-neck enemies who always tried attacking them every chance they got.
What's more, although they hated to admit it, Adonis was also strong battle-wise.
Their spies and scouts were also great fighters, almost going toe-to-toe with their forces.
So it wasn't impossible to imagine Adonis behind this.
And lastly… Morgany… their very own Morgany.
This was very, very, very impossible…
The many years of trust Morgany had within itself made it impossible for them to believe a Morg was behind this attack.
Although they felt it impossible, they didn't rule it out just yet.
Perhaps there was someone here who had grown too greedy.
They couldn't understand this type of person since the Holy Core was here to strengthen Morgany as a whole.
Every week, thousands and thousands of newly enhanced weapons and protective gear get distributed and sent out to all those on the list.
As of now, over 700,000 weapons and protective ears have been sent out since they discovered how to use the Holy Core's powers months and months ago… And this was just the beginning.
They were still shipping out more and more every single week, 17000 per batch.
Which Morg bastard planned to slow their progress down?
