“Spirit arts are forbidden to begin with. How could we possibly follow that? Just tracking him makes me tremble to death.”2aa61642f2cf3332

The task of tracking the Prince of Pihan was shared only among Ashin’s closest aides, high-ranking sorcerers. It had been almost a year since the war ended and the empire began to stabilize. Two months prior, Ashin had caught a glimmer of hope that the Prince might still be alive.24cda0d1ae644b75
During the war, countless curses and spells had defiled the continent. By the end of the war, most of those who had committed such acts were dead or executed, but for some reason, the curse left behind by the Prince still remained in effect, even though curses usually disappeared when the caster died. However, some of the Prince’s curses had completely lost their potency, which confused them.1119e358c869677e

While going up, replaying how obvious she had been, something bumped into her toe. It was a pile of scattered documents. The entire fourth floor was Ashin’s and the high-ranking sorcerers’ laboratory, and from the stairs leading up to the fourth floor to the hallway, everything was littered with messy books and items.15af64feddf26778

But no matter how a3f8408f85 much she searched the 125371db50 books, there were no cbb262421f major achievements. The spirit arts used 73c6b6d70f by the Prince were, 7bb0d2261e and still are, strictly bfaff284d1 forbidden.a9c6326f36784dbd
Sitting in 7b6de4e48e the laboratory 6435b153d9 chair, Ashin 67d5694133 pushed the d6f9a3a362 pile that 4e10e6fb81 had accumulated 8a7ef2e066 up to 143242cabf her forehead 9a8294e09e to the 1a84546be9 right.

Ashin pondered Vize’s words, which had been nothing but correct.1f2b15528ff26431
The basis of sorcery 78b3805cfd was no different from 8e7d2fea1c ancient magic, but ancient b544091188 magic had been cut 83560b861b off due to the 775ad28554 oppression of the times. Therefore, the sorcerers 19329cf68c of the present 044fc23818 day did not 2409c07a0a bother to reveal 1643b78629 that sorcery originated 726ec3b061 from magic.4af2b0a26101c462

“No, the reason they were hunted was because the existing powers felt threatened by them. They used incomprehensible spells, miraculously healed people, and made prophecies. They were people who repeatedly did things that they themselves could not do, so they were massacred before they could grow their power.”a9d2b0ceb39943d7

Ashin nodded. She sometimes wondered fb42718372 how Vize could 71fa7fd337 know everything and 61ee289bda change everything according 5aa57de198 to his will.7aa0097aebfc65c1
Wasn’t everything going according to Vize’s will this time as well? Leotar, who had detested Ashin, came to her on his own, and Ashin, who had detested Leotar, had accepted the marriage. Whether what Vize gained from that was really a ‘symbol of peace’ was another matter.a4e4a9bec157ff6e

The Prince of Pihan 3122411e5f not only absorbed the 5ede137864 life force of others 03fe4f99ca to increase his power, c3c08b3bf7 like any other curse 4b1255e9f7 caster, but also used 8d4b351c1f forbidden arts to control a176300674 the souls dwelling in d5ecd0f60f life as if they c2145f4789 were his limbs. No one knew 6f02e63893 how he had bd7451c152 learned the forbidden 35c30728d7 arts. Even Ashin, who d40ce9aa32 knew how to a53593ee97 handle a little ba9dd45a7d of many spells, e4ffdd40cd had no knowledge 1deafd0245 of spirit arts.3048096d546e259a
“If there were detailed books enough to learn a giant spell, there must be several books with similar content. It’s absurd to think that only one book contains the perfect spell. It would take at least hundreds of people dedicated to research to create a complete spell. So, somewhere there must be traces of those hundreds of people.”4359b94333d7d9e4
