The Master Necromancer - Chapter 81
After the words from Skraal, Elenie just stopped talking and did not know what to say at all.
Any kind of information about “Origins” deemed as special and important by the leader of Anderwhal Lord Nicklore.
Elenie heard from other people who are working with herself that “Origins” were the power of ancient mages,
It was not much different from the other mages, In a sense, it was the future of the mages back then.
After sometime later, All of the ancient mages could learn about the “Origins”, This fact is also one of the reasons why Origins were too important and powerful.
At the same time, everybody in the Anderwhal City Organization at least everybody who has some kind of authority, knew that the reason why Lord Nicklore and his supporters were too strong and nobody could dismiss their authority was because of the “Origins.”
Skraal took a sip from his face and watched the eyes and face of Elenie,
It was clear that she was thinking a lot, For Skraal this was just a fun thing to see nothing more at all.
He wanted to see how she is going to answer,
Elenie took a sip from her coffee and thought about the other perspective of the things, In a sense, she has no right to know about the Origins other than Nicklore and other people at the upper-echelons tells herself.
This means that accepting the teaching of the Skraal, which is not a good thing, She did not know the man in front of herself,
Basically means that she is leaving the Anderwhal Organization and even in some cases it could be classified as “Treason” and she could be killed without any question asked.
Elenie has to decide, She could try to learn “Origins” from this man named Skraal, Or she could reject him and keep working in the Anderwhal Organization as usual.
The first decision will make her enemy of the Anderwhal Organization and she is going to be hunted forever as long as Anderwhal Organization exists,
The second decision was safer but in her life most likely she is not going to have any kind of chance to learn about “Origins” and die because of old age.
It was clear for herself,
“I will learn “Origins” from you, Thank you.”
Elenie looked at the eyes of Skraal and answered.
Skraal smiled and took a sip from his drink and started talking.
“After I finish the coffee, let us go to my house, I will give you basic information and what you need to do for learning about the “Origins”, after that, We will decide what to do about the matter of Nicklore.”
Elenie furrowed her brows and answered.
“I just said that I will learn from you, I did not say that I am going to plan a coup with you against the Lord Nicklore.”
Skraal laughed and took a deep breath as he started speaking.
“You already did my dear, With you saying that you are going to learn “Origins” from me,”
Elenie knew this much but she only knew that she is going to get hunted because of trying to learn about “Origins”,
She did not know about the “Coup” Skraal talking about.
Her face was getting uglier as time goes on.
Skraal, showed a serious face this time and started talking.
“First of all, Your identity in the Anderwhal City, your position put you in a big power, your words cannot be disobeyed and should be taken as words of Nicklore”
“Second Reason, You should have clear instructions on the matter of “Origins”, your leader Nicklore and his friends who can use “Origins” must forbid you to learn about the matter of “Origins.”
“Third Reason, In the first place, A member in your position can not learn about the power of origins”
Elenie thought about it but there are still some things she could not understand at all.
Skraal noticed this and started talking, explaining.
“If a normal member who works in the Anderwhal City and Anderwhal Organization wants to learn about “Origins”, It will look like, they are just want to learn more about the magic and wants more power, Which is not a weird thing for the other mages and authorities inside of the Anderwhal City.”
“But if a person at your level who have the rights of the Leader Nicklore, wants to learn about the “Origins” It will not look like you just want to become powerful for your good or learn about magic, It will directly look like you are in search for power so that you could kill the “Nicklore” so that you could be the next leader of the Anderwhal.”
As the words of Skraal ended, Elenie started gulping, and at the same time, he started taking deep breaths, She was pretty much obliterated.
But Skraal did not speak, As he was drinking his coffee (drink), He kept talking.
“You can basically, look at this situation as, If a child touches your body, you just smile and laugh about it, but if a man touches your body, you will create a problem for him, The people who are weak and have no power inside of the organization seen as children by the authorities, but you will be as an adult, So at the first place, even when you did not appoint in a position like that, They were already concerned about that, in the end, you are going to want to learn about “Origins.”
Skraal, at that time, got up from his seat and started talking as he looked around at himself.
“Your leader Nicklore was a smart-man, He sent you here for both purposes, the First purpose is taking me with you to meet him and the second hidden purpose is seeing what you are going to do when a strange man proposes you to give you information about “Origins”, which is a thing you should not accept, At least in the mind of Nicklore.
Elenie, smiled this time and whispered.
“This means that from now on then Lord Nicklore already knows about everything”
Skraal just nodded and signaled Elenie to follow himself.
