Chapter 94: Mystics\' Borough
A few minutes later, Titus made multiple turns and brought Charles and others kids to the Mystics\' Borough entrance.
Unlike the last time, two more guards in silver armor stood near the entrance gate and appeared to be chattering among themselves.
In the meantime, Charles took few steps forwards and soon arrived in front of the entrance.
His arrival also attracted their attention. The blonde-haired guard with a rough face instantly identified Titus and others and soon curled his lips upward. He had prominent black eyes, fair skin, and looked around 170 cm tall.
"Oh? You brought an old man to take revenge?" A mocking smile appeared on his face as he gripped his spear and took a step forward.
Upon seeing his action, all the kids\' faces turned pale!
\'Haa, what a waste of time.\' Charles let out a heavy sigh and silently waved his black cane.
A moment later, the blonde-haired guard felt that his whole body stiffened up all of a sudden. He couldn\'t move a muscle, not he could blink his eyes.
A chill went up to his spine as he felt the gaze of the old man!
\'What the hell?!\' He was utterly terrified inside.
It was the same skill that Holem\'s Crown used on Charles and asked him to find its location shortly after his transmigration!
Curling his lips upward, Charles took two more steps forward and spoke in his mind.
\'Mr. Runeth, you can dismiss the [Freeze] skill now.\'
At the exact moment, Charles conjured a small ball of flame on his fingertip and spoke in a cold tone.
"This is your last warning."
He pushed the guard away as he said those words, gestured the kids to follow after him, and walked inside.
In the meantime, the blonde-haired guard\'s whole body started to tremble uncontrollably, and soon cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
The other three guards also noticed the sudden change and soon gripped their swords.
"STOP!"
Another guard said in a cold tone and was about to unsheath his sword but stopped.
No, the blonde-haired guard stopped him.
He then wiped the sweat on his forehead and spoke in a grave tone.
"Let them in."
A shock appeared on other guards\' faces as they glanced at each other in suspicion and puzzlement.
Once the blonde-haired man noticed that Charles and the kids had gone inside, he let out a sigh of relief and said in a bitter tone.
"Be grateful that he didn\'t kill us here." He deliberated for a moment and soon added with a heavy sigh.
"When he waved his cane, I completely lost my control over this body. If he had wanted me dead at that time, nobody could have stopped him."
"High-Rank Mystic?" A black-haired guard asked in vigilance.
"It appears so." The blonde-haired guard responded with a nod and soon added.
"We should give him an apology when they return. If I didn\'t apologize, I wouldn\'t be able to sleep peacefully."
After saying those words, he gripped his spear to support his trembling legs and sat on the ground while panting heavily.
Meanwhile, Charles let the kids into the Mystic Borough and looked around the buildings with calm eyes. In the Mystic Borough, street roads appeared larger than normal ones and were clean. They saw mansions, two-storied houses, high-class Inns, dress shops, and even artifact shops appeared on both sides of the street and got stunned.
\'Most of the buildings are built with granite rocks and even the roads are concreted.\'
Robed mages, nobles with luxurious clothes, merchants, servants, and guards were the only ones roamed in the street. Moreover, all of them wore some type of red badge on their chest.
\'Unlike outside, the peoples here all look more like well-trained officers.\' Charles muttered to himself and analyzed them one by one.
After glancing around for a moment, he turned his gaze and then locked his eyes on the black circular Tower that almost reached around 900 to 1,000 meters tall!
It was built perfectly without even a slight misshape.
Charles soon focused his gaze on the conical dome-shaped tower peak and soon frowned as he noticed a dense amount of energy emitting from there.
\'That\'s must be the tower room. It\'s a special place where only the Tower Masters are allowed to walk in.\' The Holem\'s Crown said in his mind.
\'Aren\'t they real owners?\' Charles retracted his gaze and started walking towards the Tower.
\'Nope. The Tower owner should be the King of Moon Kingdom and only he has full control over it. The Mages are temporary masters of the Magic Tower.\' The Holem\'s Crown responded.
\'What about Churches? I heard that Moon Church and Amber Church are the ones who mostly control the Kingdom nobles.\' Charles raised a question. Those were the information he took from Aurora\'s memories.
\'They do control the kingdom, but not in the open. For example, Amber Church has full control over the kingdom\'s wealth. Take this street as an example. The Shade Merchant Company, Purple Wine shop, All Product grocery shop, Tangled Woman\'s Auction House, Evergreen Artifacts, and the other small companies are all under the control of the Amber Church. So, one way or another, the citizens\' money would end up in the hands of this Church. I even heard that they own a layer in the Tower of Elements. As for Moon Church, they have complete control over Moon Kingdom citizens, mages, and half of the nobles. In a sense, the Royal Family is just a puppet ruler.\' The Holem\'s Crown responded in his mind.
\'Whose control are these five Tower Masters?\' Charles asked as he walked on the near concrete road.
\'How do I know? But the majority of them should be under the Moon Church\'s control.\'
Upon hearing those words, Charles nodded his head and soon stopped his footsteps as he saw a few guards were blocking their way.
But unlike the guards at the entrance, these guys didn\'t act arrogantly, thought.
"Mister, can you show me your identity or recommendation badge?" A tall, muscular guard, who was in the lead, asked them in a polite tone.
"We don\'t have any identities." Charles paused for a moment as he conjured a flame in his fingertip, made it dance on its own, and then added with a smile.
"But I think this should be enough, right?"
Upon seeing the scene, the muscular guard stunned for a moment and soon bowed.
"I apologize for our rude behavior, My Lord. I didn\'t know that you are an Ember Wizard."
\'Ember Wizard?\' Charles felt puzzled by the new term and asked in his mind.
\'That\'s the corresponding class of [Fire Weaver] Class. Only after promoting to the Ember Wizards, Mystics can enter the inner world and can create normal flames without the help of the spell models.\'
Upon hearing those words, Charles got puzzled inside and soon raised his eyebrows.
\'But I entered the Inner world earlier than others, right? Wait… It must have something to do with wisdom power. If the mages also mistook me as an Ember Wizard, then my plan might go smoother.\' He nodded inwardly and then waved his hand.
"It\'s alright." He said and then dismissed those guards.
After that, Charles continued to walk, and soon all of them arrived in front of a tall Tower.
"Tower of Elements." He muttered as he turned his gaze towards the interior and soon led the kids inside. Although the kids\' messy dresses attracted other mages\' attention, they didn\'t say a word and simply distanced themselves from them.
On the other hand, Charles stepped on the smooth staircase and then walked into the first layer of the Tower.
