Chapter 195: Check (2)

The Black Family Patriarch opened his eyes from his meditation. The dark magic around him surged and covered the entire room, but he could still feel the feeling of being seen through by others.

Spreading his magic, the shadow magic checked the entire area.

But there was no one around him.

There were not many people who could use investigation magic so far away and crystal eyes were one of them.

But...

’The White Family Patriarch’s crystal eyes couldn’t see through me completely after I covered myself in shadow.’

With the two families being rivals, the Black Family Patriarch was very familiar with the White Family Patriarch’s magic. It felt completely different with the magic just now.

Because of this, the Black Family Patriarch knew for sure that it was not the White Family Patriarch.

Then who?

Was there anyone who was more powerful than the White Family Patriarch in the White Family?

There were indeed a few more magic warriors in the White Family with crystal eyes, but they were all far weaker than the White Family Patriarch.

And the young genius’s magic inheritance was crystal armor and not crystal eyes.

It was completely different.

It couldn’t be that Evan awakened the two magic inheritance, right?

That was unrealistic.

The Black Family Patriarch probed once more and after not finding anything, he simply gave up.

...

Silas was moving his belongings to another room that has no supervision when he sensed someone was peeking at him. This sense was faint and it seemed that the person who did it was far away from him, but the magic was powerful enough to see through him almost instantly.

This made Silas wary and looked around.

The shadow under him started to move and covered his entire room but the sense of being seen through still hasn’t disappeared.

It seemed as if the shadow magic he was proud of was nothing in front of the other party.

Silas’ heart sank.

It couldn’t be that someone was trying to play a joke on him or truly wanted to monitor him, right?

He had just gotten the curse marks erased and then someone came to peek on him?

What a joke.

Just as Silas felt a bit desperate, the sense completely disappeared.

This made Silas dumbfounded and he checked his surroundings carefully. His instinct told him that he was completely alone and even if there were some people who monitored him in the distance, these people were more covert.

They didn’t dare to use magic.

Because if they did, Silas would definitely feel different.

Their task was only to see Silas’s whereabouts and not to the point that it would interfere in his daily life.

Silas frowned.

After some time, he didn’t sense it coming back.

While feeling relieved, this also strengthened Silas’s thought about getting stronger. And perhaps, he could also find another way to get stronger...

But first, he had to solve the problem of these people watching him.

Silas’ eyes narrowed.

Now that the city no longer trusted him, Silas’ patience slowly wearied out.

He thought that doing some things should be fine.

...

For the next few days, Aya and the others would attend the basic sealing and formation classes. Silas was busy with his matters and they also didn’t want to disturb him.

Leon tried to ask his father about this matter, but the Black Family Patriarch was not willing to tell him.

For the Black Family Patriarch, Leon didn’t have to know about this.

Leon could only accept his father’s words.

No way.

Could he beat up his father to ask for the answer?

That was impossible.

First of all, he couldn’t beat up his father because his strength was not as strong as his father.

Secondly, he didn’t want to be beaten up.

It was painful, okay?

Thankfully, they all knew that Silas was fine and even though there was some investigation done, he would still be fine.

After around a week’s time, Silas finally called them to gather to practice together.

And when Aya saw Silas, she froze.

Because Aya knew very well that the Silas in front of her is a puppet.

Puppet is a type of magic tool that is a bit special. It could be controlled through mana even from a distance or it could be programmed to follow a set of procedures. Even though the movements were a bit crude, but it was enough to fool most people into thinking that this puppet was real.

Most of the puppets would follow animals or plants because it was easier to imitate their movements.

But the puppet in front of Aya is a person.

And this puppet was so well made that Aya was full of disbelief.

First of all, puppet mages could only be earth or wood element magicians. Otherwise, it would be hard for them to control the puppet itself. There were also some of them who were of metal element but it was usually combined with the earth element.

As of now, there was no puppet that was completely made of metal.

After all, it was really hard for the metal puppet to move efficiently and the technology in this era was far from reaching that point.

But this was not the point.

This puppet should have been made by Silas after a long period of time. Because Aya could sense two types of control on this puppet, which meant that it would follow a set of procedures but Silas could also interfere in the middle from a distance away.

To be able to make such an exquisite puppet, one had to be a powerful blacksmith or tool masters.

And there was only Yansu City who had more secrets and skills about puppetry and weapons or even tools. As Aya had mentioned before, it was the city with the most resources in this matter.

So to see such a puppet, the first thought Aya had was where did Silas buy it.

The Yansu City would not want to sell their technology to Silas.
