Chapter 232: Urgent Mission

"The other faction supports the girl who got the inheritance weapon. There is tension everywhere. Both sides are trying to gain an advantage, and that’s why they’re getting restless," Sulovan said.

" I fought the girl with the inheritance. She ran away before I could catch her. I didn’t know she was a potential Emperor of Death Domain. Anyway, which faction was the one that destroyed the Village in the Human Realm?" Ryder inquired while talking about his interaction with the Death Emperor Successor.

"That was the Royal Blood Faction. They were the ones who did it in the human realm," Sulovan explained.

" Why would they do it? What were they after?" Ryder inquired as he frowned.

" They were after something important. Something that is capable of shifting the power balance in their favor while making it difficult for the opposite faction to get in power," Sulovan answered with a grave look on his face.

"It’s good. A conflict between them can be a good opportunity for us," Ryder let out as he nodded his head.

"What was that something they were after? Did they get it?" Ryder inquired.

"They were after something called the Orb of Lightning. It is said to be a small light blue orb that is capable of helping the wielder conjure lightning," Sulovan explained.

Ryder heard his words and couldn’t help but look in the direction of his hand. He saw the bracelet that had the various characters. Each of those characters represented an element of the universe like fire, water, and others. Ryder had already received three fragments of the bracelet of immortality to activate three characters. He still lacked a lot more, though.

There were over Twenty Fragments still remaining in this universe.

’An orb related to lightning? Could this be a fragment related to thunder? That should be an element too,’ Ryder thought as he frowned.

The people in the great hall saw Ryder frowning and thought that he was thinking about something serious related to the Death Domain. No one said anything to disturb his thoughts.

’Janus, is thunder an element of this bracelet of immortality?’ Ryder asked Janus.

After a few seconds, Janus replied.

[No answer can be given related to the bracelet of immortality at the moment]

’What no answer? It’s a simple question. I already know a lot of things about the bracelet. Just give me another answer,’ Ryder responded as he sighed.

Janus didn’t reply. Ryder couldn’t help but shake his head as he stopped asking about it. He thought that there must be a reason.

He also believed his assumption that there was a good chance that he might be able to get another bracelet of immortality fragment if he got the orb of thunder.

"Did they get the Orb of Thunder?" He asked Sulovan.

’ If they did, I might have to take a trip to the land of Death. I do need to go there to finish my Kingship Trial as well. I can do two things at once,’ Ryder thought as he put the pieces together

"They didn’t manage to take it from what I heard. They went to a village in the human realm because they had heard that it was in the village at the place. They also managed to find the village it was said to be in, but according to my sources, they didn’t find the thunder orb in that village. The village elder had already given that thunder orb to someone. The whole village was wiped in anger," Sulovan replied as he sighed.

"They didn’t keep anyone alive to find that person that has the thunder orb? I don’t believe they’ll drop the search just because another person took the orb. They must be after that person," Ryder inquired with a thoughtful look on his face.

"The villagers didn’t know where that person came from and where he lived. All they knew was that the person was an adventurer and his name. Without any information, founding that man is really difficult, but Your Highness is right. They kept someone from the village alive to recognize that adventurer," Sulovan answered Ryder.

"An adventurer? What is the name of that Adventurer?" Ryder inquired.

’If he’s a player, I might be able to find him. I might even be able to exchange something from that orb or straight away, kill him to take the orb,’ Ryder thought as he sat straight.

" I don’t know the Adventurer’s name, unfortunately. It was something that I couldn’t find out," Sulovan replied as he sighed.

" So, we have nothing in our hands that can help us find that Adventure before the death domain?" Ryder inquired with a frown.

" It seems that way. I apologize," Sulovan replied to Ryder.

Ryder couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment.

"Tell me more about the two factions of the Death Domain. Which Faction is stronger at the moment? Also, How strong is the conflict between them? Was there any fighting?" Ryder asked Sulovan.

"The fighting has not started yet. There are just light skirmishes. I don’t believe they’ll break all cordiality so soon. It might take a few months before they even get to that level," Sulovan told Ryder.

" Should we do something to fasten the process? We can definitely interfere in their matters and use that to our advantage to weaken them further," Ryder inquired as he thought about it in depth.

"What do you think?" Ryder asked High Duke Mila as he looked at him.

" It seems like a good opportunity. Although we are at peace, there is always a threat of war if they somehow become stronger. As long as they are weak, they wouldn’t have big ambitions about fighting us," High Duke Mila replied as she nodded her head.

Ryder heard her response and nodded his head.

" That’s right, but even if we involve ourselves to increase the conflict, it needs to be in a way that doesn’t make them know that we are getting involved. We need to keep our name out of this matter, or they might join together to fight a common enemy, and the plan would fail," Ryder frowned as he explained something he was concerned about.

"That is true, as well. As long as they find out that the Demon Realm is getting involved, they’ll be forced to stop their skirmishes and make a decision. That won’t be good. We need to be stealthy, and we need to be clever. What do you think we should do?" High Duke Mila asked Ryder as she looked at him for answers.

"Let’s decide after we go back. I want all High Dukes to be there for this discussion. It is an important matter. I do have some ideas about what we can do, though. If things go right, I might even get three birds with one stone," Ryder muttered as he smiled.

"Three birds?" High Duke Mila inquired as she frowned.

"It’s a saying. It means that I will be able to achieve three goals if I succeed," Ryder replied as he smiled.

"What three goals?" High Duke Mila asked.

"You’ll know when I put my plan forward after we get back," Ryder replied as he smiled.

"Hmm," High Duke Mila nodded her hand.

"Anyway, let’s continue. What else do you get? Any other useful information? Tell me everything," Ryder replied as he nodded his head.

Sulovan told them a lot of things about the Death Domain conflict. He talked about various powers that were directly involved in the conflict, and he talked about the powers that were still neutral there. He also talked about the King Candidate. The Royal Bloodline Prince and the Death Emperor Inheritor. Surprisingly, according to him, the two king candidates never showed up there.

The conversation went on for over two hours.

Soon, the meeting finished. Ryder told everyone to go back and rest.

He was about to stand up when he stopped as he heard Janus’ voice.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Urgent Mission: Log out of the game in five minutes and save Alice]

[Mission Reward: Golden Knife of Kimichi]

[Time Limit: Five minutes]

’Save Alice? What the fuck?’ Ryder stood up with a shocked look on his face.

The others also stood up as they saw the shocked look on his face.

"Is everything alright?" High Duke Mila inquired with a concerned look on her face.

"Yeah, everything’s fine. I’ll be right back, though," Ryder replied as he opened the system screen and tapped on logout.

" He disappeared?" High Duke Mila inquired as she frowned.

" His Highness went to his treasure artifact that was given to His Majesty. He shouldn’t be in any danger," Rale let out in a calm tone.

"But his expressions? It didn’t seem everything was fine," High Duke Mila inquired.

" Maybe he forgot something important inside and went to take that? Let’s wait here for his arrival," Rale replied.

He had faith that Ryder would be safe in the artifact. He didn’t know that Ryder had lied about the artifact and that there was no such thing.
