Fire Mage

Chapter 537 - Dew Street



Chapter 536: Dew Street

Griffin Household mansion, Saffron Street, Nobles' District, City of Iron.

At that moment, an auburn-haired young lady sat in the reception hall and appeared to be in the middle of reading a book. She had long whirly hair, azure eyes, thin eyebrows and wore a simple red gown made of silk.

She was none other than Goddess Sasha!

Suddenly, she paused for a moment and looked at the faraway sky.

No, she precisely looked in the direction where the City of Miracles was located and soon squinted her eyes.

"Did someone see my past self? Who is that?" Her eyebrows arched upward. She hurriedly closed her eyes looked for clues but found nothing.

It appeared as if the person who saw this vision was not in the timeline itself!

'Something feels off.' She pondered for a moment and soon shook her head.

Like her, all other Edhen's Children members also noticed someone's gaze but couldn't find any clue about the origin. Some even saw Julius's face in the form of vision but couldn't track him down.

...

Airport Building, Underground District, City of Miracles.

Charles walked out of the airport around 6.55 A.M and soon met with Jessie at the entrance. Then, they moved towards the parking lot, arrived next to the luxurious carriage, and entered.

Meanwhile, Oliver tied the horse, pulled the horse reins, and drove the carriage out of the airport.

Soon, the vehicle entered the main road and continued to move on the right side.

On the other hand, Jessie also introduced herself and told more about the city.

While she was explaining, Charles suddenly raised his hand and touched his face.

Simultaneously, he shifted his attention towards the 'Identity mark' in his mind and started to shape-shift!

Jessie's face went stiff suddenly as she saw this scene, and soon she widened her eyes.

"W-What are you, M-Mister?" She couldn't help but stutter in shock. Although she knew the [Deceiver] Class mystics could change their skin and disguise, she hadn't seen it upfront.

"Keep it secret," Charles said with a smile, took out a fake mustache from his space ring, and put it under his nose. He then took off the bowler hat, put it in his space ring, and finally nodded.

Following that, he moved the curtain a little, peeked outside through the glass door, and spoke calmly.

"We are not going to steal anything from the museum today."

On the other hand, Jessie stared blankly at his face and couldn't understand what he had said earlier.

"Pardon me for asking this, but aren't you here to steal the potion from the Miracle Museum?" Her voice contained a trace of confusion and suspicion.

"Change of plans, Ms. Jessie."

He paused for a moment and then added.

"We are going somewhere else."

Saying so, he opened the carriage door and spoke.

"Go to 95A Dew Street, Oliver."

Although Oliver was confused by his order, he didn't say anything, pulled the horse reins, and entered the right side alley road.

Meanwhile, Jessie went silent for a whole minute and finally asked.

"Why are we heading there?" She couldn't hide her curiosity at all.

In truth, she wanted to know what Charles had in his mind but didn't dare to pester him.

Meanwhile, Charles smiled amusingly at her question and answered.

"Not 'we.' Once we get there, only I would go inside the building. Meanwhile, you and Oliver should leave the area sooner and move to the Museum."

'Tsk, why is he always trying to act mysteriously?' Jessie grumbled inside and nodded her head in disappointment.

On the other hand, Oliver drove the carriage while making a few turns, arrived at Dew Street, and soon stopped near a particular mansion building.

Unlike other streets, this one appeared very far away from the main road and was closer to the Northern Graveyard!

Moreover, the street appeared devoid of people, and only nine buildings appeared in that area. Even they seemed to be a little isolated from each other, and the remaining lands were filled with vine trees and long-thorn trees.

Glancing around, Charles opened the carriage door, stepped down from the luxurious carriage, and signaled Oliver to move on.

After that, he crossed the dirt road, arrived near the compound gate, and looked ahead at the building.

It was a four-storied building with a large lawn in the front and two guest houses on the sides. The building itself had few decorations, while the roof and the building walls were made of cement. At that moment, two guards who stood at the entrance blocked his path, and one of them inquired him in an intimidating tone.

"Who are you?"

Meanwhile, Charles activated [Eyes of the Runes] skill and looked at their strength.

'Rank-4 Mystics, huh.' He wasn't surprised at all.

He took a step forward, cast [Burning Thoughts] spell on the two of them, erased their current thinking, and cast [False Blink] spell.

A second later, his body turned blurry for a moment, disappeared from there, and reappeared inside the lawn.

Charles then looked at the front and sensed an invisible layer was enveloping the mansion building like a cocoon at that moment.

He hurriedly moved towards the invisible layer, analyzed it for a moment, and soon tried to pass through it.

To his surprise, he didn't face any retaliation at all.

[This layer must be placed here to block any mystic power from entering and leaving the building, Host.] Genesis's voice echoed in his head.

'Does that mean I won't face defensive array's retaliation inside?' He asked in a surprised tone.

[Yes, Host. As long as you refrain yourself from destroying this layer or casting a Rank-6 spell when inside, the defensive array system won't activate.]

A smile appeared on Charles's face as he heard those words.

He then stepped forward, entered inside the layer, and observed the surroundings.

After that, he shifted his gaze towards the mansion building's entrance and went towards it.

Meanwhile, the two guards who stood at the compound entrance gate glanced at each other and soon showed a confused expression on their faces.

Although the guards felt they had talked to someone a while ago, they couldn't remember who they had even talked to.

It appeared more like some déjà vu for them!

On the other hand, Charles arrived in front of a 2-meter tall wooden gate, released an invisible string, and moved it towards the keyhole. After a short silence, he unlocked the door with a click sound and opened the door.

A moment later, a grand hall appeared in front of his eyes.

Currently, more than 50 people appeared in the grand hall, and they seemed to be in the middle of doing different kinds of work.

Some were stitching black cloaks and attaching the goat skull badge at the front; some were arranging swords, spears, daggers, and many other weapons on the table, while the remaining ones were in the middle of cooking!
