Chapter 412: Decision

While the town was mourning over the loss of hundreds of soldiers, Charles continued to walk towards the mansion house located at Yellow Street.

There were only five streets located in this small town. They were Potters Street, Market Street, Honor Street, Yellow Street, and finally Church Street.

Unlike other towns and cities, there was no status quote in this town regarding living. Moreover, most citizens were farmers, merchants, and workers like dress weavers, tailors, potters, woodworkers, etc. So, there was also no discrimination or anything.

\'It\'s a good place to live a peaceful life.\' He muttered inwardly.

Unfortunately, Charles had other plans in his mind.

.

\'If I want to leave this planet, I need all the forbidden and secret knowledge in this plane. I have a vague feeling that Light Church might know some information about how to leave the Faith Realm.\' But he was well aware of the difficulties and felt troubled inside.

\'There is also this guy named Victor… He seemed to have peeked into my future and even sent a Light Bishop to arrest me. I can\'t act recklessly and get caught. Although I could kill these Crystal Knights and Radiant Knights, the above rank Saints might pose some serious threat to me. Then, there is the Awakens. I can\'t act careless and get myself killed once again.\' He also recalled the mysterious entity\'s earlier gaze and decided to act more cautiously.

\'For now, I should think of a way to recreate the elemental heart. Although I don\'t have ritual ingredients, I can create them on my own with the help of Fire Domain. But what I need from the outside is a sacrificial material.\' While thinking, he walked past many houses and soon arrived in front of a compound gate. Although a few soldiers and Colt\'s disciples still followed after him, he didn\'t mind their presence and opened the metallic gate.

A three-storied building surrounded by a grassy yard appeared in front of his eyes.

But just as he was about to step inside, two armored knights came from inside and blocked his path. Both of them were Expert Knights and appeared muscular.

"P-Please wait here for a while, Lord Baron. L-Lord Colt is discussing something privately with your mother." One of the Expert Knights said in a stuttered tone.

The corner of Charles\'s lips twitched as he heard that lame excuse.

\'Humph, that Radiant Knight and Daniel\'s mother are arguing about something. Wait. What\'s her name again? Willow, is it?\' He saw everything that was happening in the living hall and soon raised his eyebrows.

\'Hmm? There is not a single worry in that woman\'s eyes. Instead, she is arguing with that Radiant Knight about some key. No, something feels off. This kid\'s mother doesn\'t look like a good person. Moreover, why is she giving more importance towards a random key than her own son\'s life?\' He frowned deeply and continued to listen to their conversation.

\'A key to the ancestral hallway? Isn\'t that the place where the Pioneer Knight\'s body was buried? Although Daniel hasn\'t been to that secret place, he had heard about it from his mother. Hmm, she seems to be the only one who knew a little about that secret place.\' As he continued to eavesdrop on their conversation, he vaguely understood the reason behind Colt\'s betrayal.

\'So, Colt came here under the order of Duke Michel and second prince of Aetas to find more about the Pioneer Knight\'s secret, huh. Although he may be just a Pioneer Knight, he and his descendant managed to eradicate all the demon monsters and even built a town here. That\'s not a normal task. From the looks of it, this Duke and second prince appeared to have formed some agreement with the Ammar Dynasty. In exchange for the secret hiding inside the ancestral hall, Duke and the second prince gave this territory to Ammar Dynasty, huh.\' A look of understanding appeared on Charles\'s face.

\'Then, what is hidden in the ancestral hall? Is it more important than the whole territory? Why isn\'t that Radiant Knight using forceful methods to snatch the key from Willow?\' He couldn\'t help but raise his eyebrows in suspicion.

Without any delay, he released his wisdom power, scanned the whole town, and soon shifted his attention towards an old house in Potters Street.

At that moment, he noticed some invisible power blocked his wisdom power from scanning further into that house!

\'What is that strange blocking? Hmm, the outer structure looks familiar. A soul barrier?\' He was startled

\'It is even capable of blocking my wisdom? This place is where the Ancestral Hall is located, huh.\' At that moment, he knew that this world had many secrets.

\'Hmm, what should I do in this situation? The Ancestral Hall has something important like an artifact or a sorcerer-related thing.\'

Normally, he would kill Colt and all other outsiders and search for more secrets about this Ancestral Hall. But if he does that now, the Light Bishop would use that as a chance to stay here.

He furrowed his brows and soon exhaled deeply.

\'So what? One way or another, I\'ll end up invading the Light Kingdom and looting the Light Church. So, there is no point in being low-key now.\'

As that thought crossed his head, he raised his hand, cast [Sleight of the Mystery Hand] skill, and released invisible strings.

Before those two gatekeepers could understand the situation, countless invisible strings came from all directions and bound them.

Then, he unsheathed his long sword and swiftly decapitated their heads.

Upon seeing this, Colt\'s disciples got shocked, and soon one of them shouted in anger.

"What are you doing, Daniel-?"

Before he could even finish his words, a sharp cut appeared on his neck.

The same goes for the other two disciples of the Radiant Knight.

All of them gripped their necks in unison and stared at Charles with a disbelief look on their faces.

Meanwhile, blood gushed out of their necks and drenched their dresses.

Before long, all of them staggered backward and fell on by one.

"Well, that ended smoothly." Charles nodded calmly, stepped on the concrete path, walked past the outer yard, and appeared before the building\'s entrance.

He opened the wooden gate, walked on the ceramic tiled floor, and soon arrived near the living room\'s entrance.

But instead of walking inside, he cast [Conceal] skill on himself, went on a stealth mode, and shifted his attention towards the two people.

Currently, the Radiant Knight Colt sat on a wooden chair and was staring at Willow Louet. He was a man in his 40s, had brown hair, a stern face that could scare off a child at any time, and wore silver armor above his linen clothes.

Meanwhile, Willow sat on the Lawson Sofa and stared at the fruit glass placed on the coffee table. She appeared to be around 35-years-old, had black hair, a heart-shaped face, fair skin, emerald eyes, and wore a flax linen bridesmaid dress. With a single look, anyone could tell that she was in deep thoughts.

After some time, Willow raised her head, looked at the Radiant Knight Colt, and spoke.

"I\'ve long agreed to give that key, Mr. Colt. But you broke the promise and sent Daniel to the battlefield instead of protecting him. You should\'ve known the importance of his life, right? Without him, you can\'t open the ancestral hall at all. Nah, even finding that place is impossible without Daniel." Her voice was sharp and cold.

On the other hand, Radiant Knight Colt went silent for a moment and spoke.

"Lord Duke has a sorcerer to do that job. As long as you give that key, our job will be over. As for whether that sorcerer manages to find out the location of the ancestral hall or not, it\'s none of our business."

"It\'s easy for you to say, Mr. Knight. I\'ve been acting as the Baron\'s wife for five f*cking years to get that key from him, but you ended up ruining everything. Moreover, you are telling me to believe your words? I will never believe that Duke or you and your men. If I give that key to you, my head would be rolling in this room the next minute." Willow refuted.

A strange silence appeared in the room.
