Chapter 284: Dreamforce Lair

Two seconds later, Bella's strange black eyes returned to normal.

'Hmm? Where did those two maids go?' She frowned for a second and soon shook her head.

Then, she quietly stayed in the hall and waited for Jessie.

A few minutes later, Jessie came from upstairs and gave a space ring to Bella.

"I also added extra four carcasses for the next month's quota, Lady Bella." She added.

"That's good." Bella nodded her head and stood up from her seat.

"It's getting late, Jessie. I'll be on my way then."

Saying so, she waved her hand and started walking towards the exit.

Meanwhile, Jessie slumped on the sofa and looked at the crystal chandelier with a deep look.

Then, she snapped out of the daze, took out a golden communication ring, and contacted her Teacher.

Unfortunately, no response came from the other side, causing her to frown.

'I need to do something. Further delaying the coronation ceremony is not an option. Should I seek help from Destiny Lady and others?' She recalled the moment when they attacked Omen.

'All of them seem to be looking for someone… I heard them saying someone's name…'

'Red Prince.' Her third consciousness said in her head.

'Yes, is he a clue?' She furrowed her brows.

'What is your plan?' Her second consciousness asked.

'What is the reason behind the Churches' strange actions? Why did our Teacher inform me to ask the Life Church members about Archbishop Royce? Why did Archbishop commit suicide? Wait… Is that even a suicide?' Jessie frowned.

'It's dangerous to go outside. We have to take care of Rhea and others.' Her second consciousness spoke.

'Yes, we should find a way to increase our mansion security.' Her third consciousness also added.

Letting out a deep sigh, Jessie nodded her head and started walking towards the second floor.

Soon, the darkness enveloped the world.

It was around 10 P.M.

A luxurious carriage entered the old mansion and soon stopped in front of the three-storied building.

Then, a white-haired Oswald, Destiny Lady, and Rachel walked out of it and walked in.

Soon, they walked past the reception hall and went towards the right-side guest rooms.

Oswald then took out a metallic key and moved towards a particular wooden door.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady and Rachel walked towards their own allocated room and opened the door using keys.

As Destiny Lady opened the door, she paused for a second, turned her gaze towards Oswald, and asked.

"Shall we go and check the Whisper's Valley tomorrow?"

Oswald also halted his movement and soon shook his head.

"That area has some connection with a completely different organization. Maybe we go to the Dreamymaple Forest and look for clues. You did hear about Daisy's report, right? It must be a Rank-5 spell. Other than that person, no one should be capable of casting such spell in the surrounding kingdoms."

"What if the one who cast that spell is a mage from the Herath Kingdom?" Destiny Lady asked.

"Mage Silas actually came from the Herath Kingdom." This time, Rachel responded with a frown.

All three of them went silent for a moment and decided.

"Dreamymaple Forest, huh. We should go and explore it tomorrow." Saying so, Destiny Lady entered her room and closed the door from inside.

Rachel and Oswald also walked into their rooms and switched on the lamp lights.

It was a large room with one double bed at the center, a wardrobe on the right side, a table and chairs on the left, and an attached bathroom on the opposite side of the door.

Oswald first moved to the wardrobe, opened it, and picked up a set of casual clothes.

Then, he placed the brown cane near the bed, moved towards the bathroom, and took a long bath in hot water.

A few minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom in his casual dress and put the formal cloth into a separate bin.

After that, he went towards the bed and lay on it.

At that moment, his family members' faces, his wife's face, and finally, his daughter's face appeared in front of his eyes.

Different types of emotions appeared in his heart.

'I need to kill that damned devil.' He stared at the white ceiling for a while and soon closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, a black card, attached to the white ceiling, suddenly separated from the white wall and started to fall.

The black card moved inside the room like a kite, encircled the bed, and soon landed on Oswald's chest.

The next second, Oswald opened his eyes and frowned as he saw a strange black card over his chest.

'What the-? How did it appear here?' He sat up in a hurry and released his wisdom power in all directions.

'Hmm? No suspicious people?' He furrowed his brows, shifted his attention towards the black card, and checked it carefully.

He soon saw two words written on it in reddish ink.

'No… This one looks more like blood.' He nodded his head in understanding and started to read the content.

"Dreamforce Lair?"

Confusion appeared on Oswald's face.

'What does this mean? Someone is giving a clue? Or, is it a trap?'

At that moment, a knocking sound came from the entrance.

Letting out a deep sigh, he walked out of bed and started walking towards the wooden door.

Then, he opened the door and saw Destiny Lady and Rachel were standing outside with puzzlement looks on their faces.

"What happened, Mr. Silas?" Rachel asked.

Meanwhile, Oswald turned his face into a solemn one, passed the black card to Rachel, and added.

"I found this card in my room. The other party also used the blood to write the content."

"Blood?" Destiny Lady extended her right hand, touched the black card, and started to do divination on the spot.

Countless fate strings appeared in her mind as she started tracking the origin of the black card.

But before she could even finish her divination, some strange energy came out from the card and completely severed the fate strings!

"What?!" Destiny Lady widened her eyes in shock.

"What happened?" Both Oswald and Rachel asked her in surprise.

"Some strange power severed the fate strings. Using divination to track the culprit is not possible now." Destiny Lady said in a gloomy tone.

Soon, she shifted her attention towards the card and asked.

"What is written on it?"

"Dreamforce Lair. Is it a place? Did you know of such a place?" Oswald asked.

Meanwhile, Destiny Lady's face turned serious.

"Wait… Why do I feel this name appears so familiar? I think I heard about this some time ago." She said with a frown.

At that moment, Rachel also wore a thoughtful look on her face and soon widened her eyes.

"Wait. We heard about this place from Omen's mouth! When he told us about the Divine Order Organization's hideout names, he also mentioned this place name. At that time, we didn't put much attention to that organization and skipped it!" She said in a solemn tone.
