Rise Of Myraid Magic Emperor - Chapter 215
With his dull and unfocused eyes he looked around himself and felt a headache as memories flowed into his mind.
His name is Evaron, an old man in his late seventies and born with bad luck nothing good has ever happened to him in his life.
Being abandoned as a newborn child and raised by the caretaker of the temple of God of slaves.
The Temple of God of slaves may sound weird but that is because slaves only come to pray in this temple as nobody knows the name of this unknown god who has been forgotten in the flow of time and only this temple remains.
So, most citizens call it a false god with no base but slaves still come to pray because unlike other churches they don’t have to pay but because they also receive no benefit like blessings of gods and various other benefits.
The temple is situated at the slums entrancewhich is basically is not a very good place to live in.
Due to its poor sanitation and security standards but after living there for mostly for so many years, he knows that most of them make their living with honesty and are kind hearted though they are poor and free people.
Slaves on the other hand are not free and have their masters who decided the way of their life.
For Kai who had lived in a world were existence of slavery has been banned and is considered a crime it was quick unsual to know that their is a society which treat it as a normal occurence not to mention the presence of slums in capital city of a Kindgom.
After observing all the memories, Kai came to know that he is currently at the capital city of Theothia Kingdom which is a part of human alliance as well as currently lives and takes care of the unknown god temple.
As for the reason, he is currently in the dark prison room because he was accused of being involved in terrorist activities.
After the city security guards found a mana bomb inside the temple where he lives and put him to jail without giving him any opportunities to explain himself.
Well, nobody cares about an orphan with no backing like him.
Being in prison since morning, he had heard guards talking about the investigation on terrorist activities and they are still looking for other terrorists.
Kai sighed at his miserable fortune as well as talent for cultivation.
He has both mage root and body potential. Yet, both are of lowest quality and with his old body it was already hard for him to make a living by acting as a tour guide for the new adventures and tourists who are visiting the capital city for the first time or have no idea about the street and it’s rules.
Just as Kai was thinking about his future plan and how to get out of this prison.
In the afternoon, he was given food to eat which was hard brown bread.
After the day in the prison, during night.
He heard the sound of footsteps coming towards his and judging from the rhythm of sound, there were more than one person.
Lifting his head, he was able to see three guards wearing full plate Armor with a woman in the middle covering her face with her hood and saw the golden token with the symbol of the church of Goddess of truth, Aletheia.
Causing Kai to raise his eyebrows because he knew the identity of this woman as Evaron has met many times, when she comes to do charity work in slums due to her responsibility of the Saintess.
Saintess of Goddess of Truth as well as the elder daughter of the current ruler of Theothia Kingdom, Ava vandora Theothia.
The last time he had seen her was about one years ago when she had helped the people fight at the front line against the Demonic Alliance.
So, it was quite hard for him to see the current appearance of Ava especially with her head covered by a hood.
“Open the cell, I want to talk with the old man myself.”
“Yes, Princess.”said the guard as he bowed and brought out the keys to unlock the door.
With the guard opening the door, Princess Ava entered the door and looked at the old man wearing white robe sitting on the ground looking at her with his unfocused eyes being chained to the wall but emitting an unfamiliar aura from himself.
“It’s been a long time, Princess Ava.”
“It’s been a long time, we have met Evaron, my friend”said princess Ava as he looked at Evaron who is the same age as her but looks like an old man.
‘This is the difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person.’thought Ava.
She had known Evaron since the time he was in his twentieth, a kind and gentle man with high moral standards and self esteem.
She had even offered him the job she attended but he had refused to take it due to his promise with the old caretaker to take care of the broken temple of that unknown fake god.
As a Saintess, she can take with the truth Goddess and already have verified that there is no god in heaven by that name.
She cannot believe that a person like Evaron will have connections to terrorists.
Kai who was now Evaron looked at her but bitter feelings as his heart, his original self had loved this woman but never had dared to tell her his feelings knowing the difference between their status.
Kai can also feel upon looking at her eyes that at most, Evaron was a close important person or she would not have come here to see him this late at night but not a lover.
But Kai is not like Evaron, he had inherited all his memories and feelings of his original self and doesn’t mind filling this wish of his but before that he needs his cultivation back and needs to gather information.
Kai knows that as the Saintess of Goddess of Truth her divine authority is perfectly suitable for proving his innocence.
As they looked at each other, Kai found Ava ‘s eyes glowing with a mysterious light and staring at him like she was trying to read his mind.
Kai also felt his head going fuzzy, he still had not recovered nor was his mental strength powerful enough to stop his foreign power from reading his original self memories.
After sometime, Ava closed her eyes. It seems to have put her in stress also as he can see a thin smile.
“He is innocent and passes on the command to search for the real culprit throughout the capital and also sends a message to the alliance office.”said Ava as she turned around.
The guard nodded to rused into the room and unlocked the chains allowing Kai to walk out of the prison while following Ava.
The full moon was shining down on the vast capital city as he looked, only to find Princess Ava dismissing her guards and turning around to Evaron signalling him to come over.
It was not quite unusual, after all besides being a Saintess and she is also an early magic knight.
It’s quite shocking that a person from the Great Magic world at the age of 70 only has cultivation of magic knight but it’s all due to the importance of bloodline in the third era that is more strict. That is what he had come to know from his mother before transmigrating to this body, causing the number of power houses to be less.
Having a royal rank bloodline, her potential is only to reach early stage magic Commander at max unless she becomes a chosen and receives blessings of the high rank constellation.
Even the king of this kingdom is only a cultivation of a peak magic champion who is Ava’s father, Danlit Theothia.
Waking up to Ava with his old thin body, Evaron asked.
“Is there anything? You would like to say Princess.”
Ava looked at Evaron and smiled,”when I was going through your memories. I found that you have one sided love towards me, Evaron. It made me happy and I accepted those feelings but sorry I can’t be with you and I hope you know the reason.”
“My ordinary background?”said Evaron with a tranquil expression.
Ava didn’t deny.
It was not unlikely for royalty to get married to a person from an ordinary background but have personal status. Evaron doesn’t have both, not to mention she is a cultivator and has a long life compared to him, making it unsuitable for them to fall in love with ordinary citizens.
Kai looked at the girl still covering her face with a hood and long magic robe not allowing to see her current appearance.
When he heard a question coming from her.
“Where are you planning to say tonight? Your house is too far away from the central plaza?”
Hearing that Kai scratched his cheek as he possibly can’t travel to the slums which is twenty kilometres from his current location, he will reach his home late at night with his weak and old body.
Seeing how her friend Evaron is reacting, Ava said,
“You can stay in the servant apartment in the near royal castle. There are some empty rooms, you can stay there tonight.”
Hearing that Kai was delighted,”Thanks princess Ava.”
As he followed princess Ava with a smiling face.
‘Maybe I was wrong. Eva may have had feelings of love for Evaron previously but most likely gave up on knowing the difference between the two as she grows.’thought Kai.
