Not the Novel World
128. Lilian Condition

Elsewhere, a crystal ball that was much larger than the crystal ball that was in the residence of Duke Marven trembled strongly. The crystal ball gave off no light at all and continued to vibrate for quite a long time.

A person cursing at the witch's clothes entered the room where the crystal ball was clenching his hands tightly saw the crystal ball vibrate and not long after the crystal ball exploded and left only debris from the ball this crystal.

With a furious look the person walked out and ordered his subordinates to arrange a meeting with his followers.

After waiting a little while, his subordinates returned and informed him that everyone had gathered at the residence of Marquis Gaustark and they were waiting for his arrival only.

After traveling for a little while, the person finally reached the residence of Marquis Gaustark and stepped foot to enter the meeting hall.

It was rare for him to have a meeting in person like this but something he would discuss this time was really important to discuss in person.

The atmosphere of the meeting hall seemed calm and no one dared to make a sound. The person wearing the magician's clothes and wearing the face cover was just sitting still and not making any sound at all.

Perplexed by the behavior of their Leader, Marquis Gaustark finally ventured to ask.

"I'm sorry, Big Master if it's presumptuous, but if I may ask. What is the talk of our meeting this time? So that makes you come here yourself?" Marquis Gaustark.

"Who has performed the ritual?" Asked their Leader with an angry tone from his words.

Everyone stared at each other not understanding the direction of the discussion being questioned by their Leader.

"The crystal ball in my house has been destroyed. It's a sign that someone else has done the ritual." He said with a stifled angry tone.

"Maag the Great Lord yet we really know nothing about the ritual. We dare not move alone without orders from you." Marquis Gaustark.

Their leader then kicked the table in front of him loudly resulting in a large sound.

"What have you been doing all this time? Who performs the ritual only you do not know!! If the crystal ball is known to function then the plan that we have been putting together all this time will be a mess!!" angry at the leader.

Everyone looked down in fear at the anger of the Leader. He is rarely angry but if he is angry then he will not hesitate to kill people to vent his anger.

"Puni us Great Lord. Soon we'll find out who's been doing the ritual." Viscount Wilson.

The leader let out a loud breath. "Just you guys find out!! Do you think after this nothing will happen?" Angry asked.

"That crystal ball has been around for a very long time in Duke Marven's residence. All this time I've been telling you how you can figure out how to take that crystal ball!!" Angry at the leader again.

"Sorry Big Master. Duke Marven was a War Commander, his residence was heavily guarded. Even though we sneaked in but after that we couldn't get close to the residence anymore." The other nobles were afraid.

"That's your stupidity!! You should have looked for another way to enter the residence. But your efforts up until now have been fruitless and now the crystal ball must be emitting its light." Angry at the Leader.

"We will make another attempt to enter the residence. The Great Lord need not worry." Said one of the other nobles.

The leader smiled cynically. "You told me not to worry!! With the intelligence possessed by the Crown Princess and the achievements achieved by the Crown Prince would let the crystal ball go without investigating it? The two of them are a couple that we should avoid directly, why would you target the girl's life all this time if it wasn't for the crystal ball to be there!!" Getting angry.

All the nobles just lowered their heads silently no longer saying anything that would make their leader grow angry.

"Is the Eagle Knight Group performing the ritual?" The Leader asked after successfully controlling back his anger.

All the nobles looked back at each other. "Come Lord, but all this time we never talked about the crystal ball in front of them. All this time they had only performed the tasks that the Great Lord had commanded without asking." Marquis Gaustark replied.

All the nobles looked back at each other hearing their Leader's question.

"If those who perform the ritual, then how do they perform the ritual. To make sure of that I will send someone to confirm that truth to the residence of the Eagle Group Knights." Marquis Gaustark.

Their leader was silent and did not answer Marquis Gaustark. "Is it possible that the one who performed the ritual was the Crown Prince. If it's true he shouldn't have known our plan and arrested everyone involved. But seeing him who still remained silent, surely he did not know it. When viewed from its always fast-moving nature when feeling suspicious of something." His inner.

After agreeing to some proposals from some nobles, the Leader finally agreed to their plan that would attempt to get close to Lilian.

Seint sat on his bed leaning his back against one side of the bed while looking at the crystal ball that felt in his hand.

There was a lot Seint thought about after he brought the crystal ball with him. One of them is about the condition that Lilian is feeling.

Seint recalled a book written by the King of Apollo that said if someone who already had an inner bond with a dragon then what was felt by the owner would also be felt by the dragon and vice versa.

The crystal ball may have absorbed some of the energy from the Citto and made Lilian's condition weaken as it is now. Although the physical endurance of the girl is very strong but if her energy continues to be absorbed gradually then she will still weaken.

The Crystal Ball serves to control the mythical animal, if the mythical animal can no longer be controlled and behaved wildly until it does not know its Master then the crystal ball that will seal the power along with the body of the mythical animal.

If someday Citto doesn't recognize him anymore and Lilian. Then all he could do was seal the Citto and it would have an impact on Lilian the dragon owner.

Along with sealing the dragon, Lilian will also be indirectly sealed and her soul will leave her body. Thinking about it made Seint into a dilemma.

If that day comes, Seint will have to make a decision as written in the book or vice versa. Seint just thought he no longer wanted to make the girl sacrifice herself continuously.

The soul of his past was sacrificed and Seint did not want Lilian to sacrifice her future soul to be sacrificed again. All Seint thought about now was how to keep Lilian from being sacrificed again.

Artem looked at Seint who had been staring at the crystal ball in his hand with a heavy sigh. "What are you thinking now?" Ask.

Seint again sighed softly then shook his fist. "It's okay." The answer.

Artem approached Seint and sat down in front of Seint who was looking at him lazily. "We've been friends for a long time ... If you're acting like this, it means you're thinking about something." Her speech.

Seint again let out a rough breath. "I was just thinking about Lilian's condition." Answer's flat.

Artem frowned in wonder. "Didn't he look okay?" Ask.

"It looks fine ... But the truth is he's not okay." Seint.

"really?" Ask Artem again.

Seint just nodded slowly then changed his position to supine. "Go!! I need a lot of energy to think about all this."Banish Seint lightly.

Artem sighed in annoyance but still left Seint alone to rest himself.
