Chapter 239
The Larken Clan members saw how the leader of the True Larken Clan died moments after being turned into an extremely ancient man; that weak body was unable to survive to the Soul-search and died just after being soul-searched .
Lashar wanted him to live for some more time and suffer due to that emaciated body, but she also knew the importance of obtaining his memories and a weak body like that could die at any moment, so she understood that Soul-search needed to be used as soon as possible .
Lashar stopped the transmission to the screens and went to the place where Yale was hiding; he hadn't acted openly in that show for the Larken Clan . Although some people would be able to guess that he was who did it; most members of the Larken Clan didn't know about his capability to modify bloodlines .
"Are you alright? You don't have a good face . Has acting against a crippled Sage Rank still been too much for you right now?"Yale shook his head .
"I just discovered something . "
Yale looked to his updated sub-quest while speaking . That sub-quest was related to the information he had just learned . Yale wasn't sure how the Last Wish System worked or how it chose the sub-quests, but in the special realm and at that moment, the sub-quests didn't seem to have been planned from before . In any case, to plan those sub-quests the level of prediction should have been high to an unbelievable point .
"Stop the plans of the True Empire in Nacesai City . Reward: None . Time limit: 48 hours . Failure: All the people the user know in Nacesai City will die or be enslaved . "
That was the first time that there was no reward for a sub-quest and also the first time that there was a time limit an explanation for the failure to accomplish the quest in that time .
Such information was in the memories of the True Larken Empire's leader . However, the time limit shown by the system was an exception because that wasn't mentioned in those memories . By some reason that Yale didn't know, the system knew very well Yale's time limit to avoid the calamity .
The True Empire had a lot of subdivisions in charge of subduing cities and towns; those subdivisions weren't too strong but had been acting for a lot of time .The reason for Nacesai City being targeted was Ange, who the True Empire knew that was a member of the Zhan Clan and she was also someone who the True Zhan Clan wanted to get rid of . Ange didn't do anything bad; she was just a daughter that someone the True Zhan Clan loathed .
However, that reason was enough for making the True Empire act against her; their main intention was enslaving her and then manipulate her to kill Yale when they managed to find him . They believed that if Yale heard a message from his sister he would appear and that would be the perfect moment to kill him .
The other members of Nacesai City weren't that important, but they wanted to get rid of them as they weren't part of the True Empire .
There had been a clan that belonged to the True Empire, but it suddenly disappeared six years ago . That clan was Heruk's clan; they had been part of the True Empire since ages ago, and their mission was helping to obtain the full control of Nacesai City by attacking from the inside at the critical moment .
Yale wasn't surprised by that; an evil clan like that fit well in the True Empire even if they were just the lowest type of lackeys . However, that wasn't the only thing that related Nacesai City to the True Empire .
There was an attack to Nacesai City in the past, that was made by a small bandit group belonging to the True Empire; they had heard of an extremely talented healer in the Roanmad Clan and wanted to get rid of her for fear that she would provoke problems when trying to conquer Nacesai City later on .
Even with a traitor clan inside Nacesai City, killing all healers from beforehand was extremely important to reduce the resilience of Nacesai City forces in the battle that would happen when the True Empire started to act against the whole continent .
However, usually the healers were well protected and would be difficult act towards them, but that talented girl didn't have a lot of protection when she went to the clan gathering of the Roanmad Clan .
The result of that killing attempt towards that talented healer ended in a big failure because a kid put in the way of the attack after not being affected by the illusion cast on the Roanmad Clan .
All the important people of the True Empire knew very well about that matter because although it wasn't an important plan, it had been a complete failure and they decided to learn from it to improve their schemes towards the towns and cities .
Even those small schemes should be successful in their eyes; if they don't act it didn't matter, but if they act they must succeed .
Yale knew that story very well because he was the one who almost died to save Ange . He hadn't expected that even that was part of the schemes of the True Empire; it was just a little scheme, but Yale almost lost his life to break it .
"I need to go back to Nacesai City immediately . "
Lashar didn't expect such request; she knew that Yale had been born there, but she also knew that Yale wasn't someone who acted by random emotions .
"We have no time for that; we can't have the Larken Clan isolated for too much more time, and Nacesai City is too far . "
Lashar didn't know Yale's reasons, but she knew that Yale's request was still impossible .
"There was a portal, but I doubt that it is still there . "
Yale remembered the portal they used to go to Imperial City the first time, but that portal wasn't the type that it is permanent like the portals he used later on in the Zuatania Republic and the Anpaes Kingdom .
"There should be something big happening there to make you act like this, but a portal to teleport you to Nacesai City won't appear because you wish it . Maybe if you had recovered your powers completely, but by your words, you can't create that portal yourself . "
Lashar told the truth, Yale could at most attempt a random teleportation hoping to appear there, but the chances of that happening were almost inexistent .
Yale sighed and followed Lashar to the clan head's mansion; he was in a rush, but he wasn't able to find a reliable way to reach Nacesai City and break the plans of the True Empire in forty-eight hours .
He decided to go to check the place where the portal had been years ago to try his luck, but he needed Lashar's help to reach that place without being discovered by others . There were too many members of the True Empire hidden in Imperial City and surroundings, with Yale's current power going alone in that area was far too dangerous .
Yale was about to ask for that when he turned speechless after reaching the clan head's mansion . After crossing the barrier, it was possible to sense extremely powerful space-time ripples .
Lashar also detected those ripples and showed shock in her face . While she was shocked Yale rushed towards the place where the ripples were originating, the inner garden, and a smile surfaced his face .
There was a huge portal with the words Nacesai City written on a nearby stone .
Yale suspected that there had been someone aiding him from the shadows; the same person who made Aiwai find him or who acted as his background in Anpaes City . Thus, when he sensed those ripples, he rushed towards there with the hope that his guess was true .
Lashar also reached the inner garden, and she couldn't believe her eyes; she was sure that when she had left earlier, there wasn't any portal there .
"Who?"
Lashar asked hoping someone to appear, but no one replied . Besides Yale, Lar, Revgen and herself no one could enter that area freely without her noticing . Of course, that was under the condition that the one who entered wasn't far stronger than Lar when she laid the barrier .
"Lashar, no matter who created this portal . This solves my problem . I will come back in three days at most . "
Yale didn't wait for a reply before jumping into the portal; he truly didn't want to waste any more time .
Lashar was left behind without knowing what to say, but she couldn't accompany Yale, or the Larken Clan would be without protection .
"I hope that you really came back soon . I will make the clan remaining isolated as much as I can . "
While she uttered those words, there was a figure observing the situation in the sky; that figure wasn't hidden, but even Lashar was unable to detect its presence .
"Lashar, if you want to discover me, you need to train more . "
The Mysterious Expert smiled while seeing that Lashar still tried to find if there was someone else near to her after Yale left .
"Yale, this is the limit to my interference in this matter . If you save those in Nacesai City or they end as victims of the True Empire, that will depend on you . "
The Mysterious Expert disappeared from the sky at the same time that finished that sentence .
