Chapter 158: Following Silently (5)

At least, until his father passed away and he came into contact with Nathan and various other teachings from other people. That was when Silas changed his practice to be more regular with both rest and practice in between, which actually made his practice more effective.

Though, his so called rest was still reading things related to magic, which were magic tools.

As Silas sat down, he watched as the mana concentration in the room slowly increased and then Silas looked at his body. Running his own magic, he definitely didn’t feel anything strange on his body.

Then...

Silas opened his robe and when he turned his robe around, he found faint magic markings on his back.

"This..."

A formation?

On his robe?

Silas was stunned and looked at the formation in front of him. Through infusing his own magic, he could understand what the formation was used for more or less.

And this formation...

It was a dark element mana gathering formation, a specific formation that would only gather a specific element of mana. From the outline of the formation on his clothes, Silas knew that this formation wouldn’t last long and would only hold on for around 12 hours at the most.

It meant that the formation would naturally diffuse in time and if he was not keen enough, he would never notice it.

"Who could possibly put a formation on my back without me realizing it?" Silas muttered in a low voice, his expression sounded unbelievable.

Even though Silas was not exactly an arrogant person, he was also a proud person. He knew very well that even among rank 6 magic warriors, he was actually quite good and there were not many people who could contend against him.

Not to mention, there were not many rank 6 mages and magic warriors in these cities.

But now, someone had put a formation on his back and Silas didn’t notice anything.

Moreover, this person should also be a dark element magician because he or she could make this dark element formation.

Formation was also a special branch for mages and formation mages could only make formation that was aligned to their elements. Since this formation was of dark element, Silas knew very well that the person who made it should also be dark element mages.

But this was what made it unbelievable.

There was someone with better attainment in the dark element around him?

"Senior Patrick... no, not possible." Silas shook his head.

If Patrick was really good at formation, these patriarchs and the Fourth Head of the Wansu City would never agree on letting Patrick stay in house arrest in the Black Family’s territory. They would be wary of him in fear that Patrick could get out at any time.

This action would be the same as shooting themselves in the foot.

And if Patrick was really good at formation, there was no way he could possibly hide it for his entire life....

Wait, it was possible.

Silas looked at the magic tools that he had made and the corner of his lips curled up slightly. If one truly wanted to, it was not impossible for them to hide their attainment for their entire life. Even now, not many people knew about his real skills because he didn’t plan to show it to anyone and because of his status, he was able to access many books in the library and so on.

Through this series of ’coincidences’ made up from his own background and ability, he was able to steadily raise his rank through self study.

But not many people would be able to do this.

It was just that Patrick was among those few who could do this...

’Should I ask...?’

In the end, Silas shook his head.

If Patrick was determined to hide the truth of his real capabilities until death, then there was nothing that Silas could do. Moreover, Silas was not sure what Patrick truly wanted from Wansu City nor what his reason was to let himself be suppressed in that residence for such a long time.

He might be Patricks’ grandnephew, but his relationship was not that close.

If there was anyone who was closer, that would be Leon.

And this was nothing more than a conjecture because Patrick was the only highest ranked magic warrior whom Silas knew.

But if it was Patrick, Silas felt that he should be able to sense the other party.

Rank 7?

Silas’s mind was confused and in the end, Silas threw this matter to the back of his mind. As much as he wanted to have a conclusion of this matter, he also didn’t want to burden himself with a lot of things. Right now, the only thing he could do was to practice and reach the peak of Rank 6 as soon as possible.

Even if his official rank was already rank 6 peak, but it was not full enough.

He wanted to touch that bottleneck and only then would he try to advance to rank 7.

Of course, there were also many other preparations that he had to make before he truly attempted that step.

...

While Silas was practicing hard, Aya made her way out of the Black Family Residence and back to the White Family Residence. No one noticed that she had left and after Aya put on the practicing sign in front of her room to avoid being disturbed, Aya activated the teleportation formation.

Swish!

Aya arrived in the destroyed valley and looked around.

This area was basically her practice spot in the past few days after she advanced to rank 7. The place was also quite remote and with her magic control, no one knew that she used to practice here.

’There are still some ghosts lingering around.’

Aya glanced at these ghosts and then activated her wind magic.

"Light step."

Swish!

Aya ran in the direction of Xunsu City.

What other places would be the best for her to make trouble if not for this city that had caused so much tragedy for Wansu City should she not change things around?

Besides, she wanted to see if this Xunsu City was truly as powerful as they used to say.
