Eternal Thief - Chapter 1196: Meeting of Norberg Clan

In the northern region of the Chief Hall Court, within the territory of the Norberg clan, many high-level figures of the Norberg clan were summoned for a meeting, and the same thing was happening within the other three clans as well.

At this moment, a few old men were gathered in a large hall, all looking towards the Forger Master Horace Norberg.

The Forger Master Alma was also present because her surname was also Norberg.

Furthermore, sitting with them was another burly middle-aged man with a stern face and

sharp eyes.

His robes were also different. He was wearing a crimson robe with a golden flame bird symbol.

Since he was able to sit together with two Forger Masters, his status was also equal to theirs. He was one of the four Hall Masters of Inferno Flame Hall, Flame Master Willis Norberg!

Unlike the seven forger halls of the Forger Faction, there was only a single Inferno Flame Hall of the Flame Faction, which was overseen by four Flame Masters from four clans.

But that doesn’t mean they were weak. In fact, the Inferno Flame Hall was the strongest force of the entire AIG Sect, for it was focused on battles.

Furthermore, each Hall Master was far stronger than any Forger Master in both cultivation and fighting prowess, not to mention their Vice Hall Masters, who were also Flame Masters, could hold up against any Forger Master; the Hall Masters didn’t even need to make any move!

It’s just that the AIG sect was a heritage of forgers, so the Flame Faction could only be lower than the Forger Faction. Since these Hall Masters belonged to the four clans, there was no way to revolt against the Forger Faction, and they also kept each other in check.

Surrounding these three second-highest authority figures were the other elders and experts of the Norberg clan. Although no one knows why two Forger Masters who usually didn’t show themselves suddenly appeared today and summoned them all, even the Flame Master Willis was out of the loop.

Once everyone was gathered, Forger Master Horace solemnly spoke, “Today I summon everyone here because an unexpected event took place today.

“An outsider named George Edward from a first-grade sect was given an Elder Apportionment Token by an outer sect elder, Dewey.

But instead of the usual Apportionment Trial, he was directly sent to the Forger Abyss!”

The elders, who were listing with somewhat uninterested expressions since it was only about an outer sect elder, were suddenly jolted awake by this revelation, and shock filled their faces. Flame Master Wills was also surprised.

He asked curiously, “Wait, is that even allowed? I don’t think even Senior Brother Horace and Junior Sister Alma can do it, right?”

This was also why everyone was in shock, and this George finally piqued their interest. Horace expected this reaction since he had also reacted like this when he heard the news and explained, with a grave tone, “Although we can’t do it, the Sect Master and Grand Elders can.

But this time, it was the Sect Master who changed the trial!”

“What?!” Wallis was shocked as he looked at Horace with disbelief.

Although he was a Hall Master of Inferno Flame Hall, he couldn’t spy on Forger Hall matters, and he didn’t need to do it either since he could learn everything from Forger Master Horace or Alma.

But the news that the laid-back and impassive Sect Master suddenly made this kind of move was a massive shock to everyone in this room.

Because they all knew the Sect Master never interfered with the clans or took part in any kind of dispute, he didn’t even help his own Weston clan or meet with them.

Although no one knows the reason for it, they have their own conjectures. Furthermore, it was even a good thing for these three clans since they didn’t have to worry about being suppressed by the Weston Clan.

However, now, the same nonchalant Sect Master has suddenly appeared out of nowhere for an unknown disciple. They all become curious and wary instantly since this means nobody is either special or has something that draws the Sect Master’s interest, and no one dares belittle George anymore.

“Although I don’t know what drew Sect Master’s attention, it might be his whim, or he found something in him. But he wasn’t wrong either because that youngster cleared the Nominal Legacy Disciple trial of Forger Abyss!

“Not only that, but Clifton seemed to have made a move on him before he could reveal his status as the Nominal Legacy Disciple, but he was instantly castigated by the Sect Master, and the entire Sutton Clan was harshly punished!

“After that, just when we reached there and could probe him or do anything, the Sect Master appeared and took him away.

When he appeared again, he was already given the status of a Chief Forger Disciple, and the Sect Master had already accepted him as his disciple!

“Last but not least, the Sect Master had also given him a special privilege which allowed him to learn any knowledge from any forger hall as long as he had merit punts!”

This time, the entire place was deadly silent. They were still absorbing this ridiculous information, and their expressions were instantly gloomy as they knew what this implied.

“Great Grandfather, does this mean he’s a dual runic talent?”

A handsome man with long hair suddenly asked with a hint of malice in his sharp eyes. This man was the current head of the Norberg Clan, the father of the top genius, Nathaniel, of the AIG sect, and the Vice Hall Master Spirit Spear Hall, Bert Norberg!

It won’t be wrong to say that Bert had the highest authority after the three hall masters in the Norberg clan, not just because Horace was his Grandfather but also because his son, Nathaniel, would be the future Sect Master of the AIG sect.

However, now that George had appeared out of nowhere and even earned the Sect Master’s favor, Bert was also the most agitated and worried.

“I don’t know.”

Horace sighed helplessly as he replied, “But we have to assume that he is, or Sect Master wouldn’t have made such a move after so many years.

So, now, I think it’s time to move our plan forward.

”

A sharp glint flashed past Horace’s eyes, “If we continue to wait and give George time to grow, it will be a disaster for us.

The time for holding back is over!”
