Chapter 374 After Two Years (End)



"Now that the existence of the Demons have been confirmed, it is not a stretch to assume, currently, High Class Demons are the only creatures who can use True Magic. By that logic, there is a high possibility that the Four Heroes were—no. Just no."

Iliana shook her head faintly as she put Chester\'s research paper down, then looked at him in bewilderment. She couldn\'t believe what she had read—she couldn\'t believe he could make such a bold claim.

"Are you mental? Don\'t you know that this hypothesis of yours will be considered a slander no matter how much sense it makes?"

"Well... If it turns out to be a garbage, they will just dispose it, won\'t they?" Chester smiled awkwardly.

"The thing is, it\'s not a garbage," Iliana said solemnly. "It makes too much sense to be discarded as such. You are just calling death upon yourself."

At Iliana\'s harsh criticism, Chester sighed helplessly. He was glad that she agreed with what he wrote, but he felt slightly disheartened by the scolding.

Turning to Basil, Chester wondered how he would response. Basil had been staying silent for quite a while—he was deep in his own thought.

\'The Lord—the ancestor of Pacifer Clan was a God. Yes, that must be why he was killed.\'

After reading Chester\'s theory about the reason why humans could use Magic, and the difference between the Magic they used and the other races used; Basil realized about something that might be the truth behind the death of The Lord.

Chester suggested that since it was highly unlikely for Gods to descend to the Mortal World despite their existence, there was a huge possibility that the Magic the Four Heroes had taught to humans was learned from the Demons.

Basil knew that The Lord had been the one who taught the Four Heroes Magic, so that theory could be discarded immediately. What intrigued him was the theory Chester had regarding the disappearance of the Four Heroes and their emergence as Gods.

It is worth to be noted that other than the high-ranking members of the Church, no one knew about the real identity of the Four Great Gods that they worshipped. Therefore, the fact that Chester knew about the Four Heroes was already amazing.

Chester claimed that the Four Heroes might have secretly cooperated with the Demons and orchestrated the whole battle against the Obelisk Masters to gain power.

Therefore, the day the Age of Chaos ended was actually the day when they already had enough power.

Chester also theorized that Magic Circle was the replication of a Magic Heart, which was the organ that any living being who could use Magic had. He gave a full explanation about it, and all of it was spot on.

For some reason however, he decided to go down the rabbit hole. Using the same method that one used to utilize a Dragon Heart, he suggested that the Four Heroes might have used a Demon Heart to be above everyone else in terms of Magic.

He suggested that, in fact, it was the reason why they were worshipped as Gods and immediately disappeared from the world after the end of the Age of Chaos,: they had too much power because of it, so they were forced to leave the Mortal World.

\'The Four Heroes wanted to be Gods.\'

Basil, who knew some part of the truth behind the Age of Chaos immediately figured that the reason the Four Heroes killed The Lord was because they needed his heart to reach Godhood.

It was the easiest and fastest way for someone like them, who didn\'t even think twice before betraying their benefactor, to be Gods. It was the reason why the Pacifer hated the Four Heroes so much, and why the feud with the Church was still ongoing today.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations!]

[The Host has managed to solve something by himself. For that, the Guide will provide the Host with a random information that may help the Host in his journey!]

[Revelation: the location of the First Fragment is...]

Simply hearing the Guide confirming his theory about the reason of The Lord\'s death alone was already something to be rejoiced for Basil; therefore, when the Guide even provided him with another precious information, he couldn\'t help smiling to himself.

Despite his awareness of the greater power, instead of feeling pressured by the terrifying truth, he thought of his current life as a chance for him to reach a higher height than the one he had reached in his past life.

Although he felt the more dangerous his life became the closer he was to the truth, just like now, there was always a chance presented before him to get stronger. No matter how life-threatening the situation was, there was always a way for him to prevail.

"Basil?"

At Iliana\'s call, Basil was awakened from his thought. "Yes?" He asked as he turned to Iliana.

"You have been thinking to yourself for a quite long time. What do you think about this research paper?"

Turning to Chester, Basil intoned, "I think you should postpone publishing it, and keep it locked away from any people\'s hand from the time being. The water is a little bit murky right now, so I don\'t suggest you to turn in something as controversial as it is."

"Is it about the Four Heroes\' slander?" Chester smiled bitterly.

"It would\'ve been better if it was. It is not however, which is why you can never publish your work."

"Huh? Are you saying that the Four Heroes really used Demon Hearts to be Gods?"

"Not that hypothetical part." Basil waved his hand, bursting Chester\'s bubble. "I was talking about the fact that the Four Heroes were the biggest traitors of humanity, who manipulated people to think they were the great saviours."

"Oh well... That is not Magic related, so I can\'t publish that," Chester said dejectedly.

"You can actually publish the true identity of Magic Circle, but you will have to talk about how the Four Heroes learned to make it by examining a Demon\'s body. Unfortunately, the Church will be hot on your arse if you do that."

Grasping his chest, Chester felt like crying. He had dedicated three years of his life to do the research, but he ended up not being able to publish his research paper due to its content—he felt bitter.

"Ah, my genius... You have cost me my three years of research," he lamented, ignoring the gazes the people around him gave him. "I can\'t help it. If it really is that dangerous, I have to keep it away from anyone."

Basil couldn\'t help smiling ironically. \'To think that a simple rejection can save his life... Fate does work in a funny way.\'

He could understand well Chester\'s frustration, but being a First Class Academician worth no more than his life. It was better to not provoke the Church while they were still strong by presenting them the truth that they had tried hard to bury.

"What about your family, Basil? Are they doing well?" Blake asked.

"Ah, yes. My father is so addicted to the culture of the Country of Hua, he even learns Daoism." Basil chuckled lightly. "He happens to have a sufficient talent in it, so his progress is rather satisfying."

Basil\'s family was relocated to the East, which was the only place that didn\'t have any of the Church\'s influence and was habitable by humans.

The idea was initially rejected by his own family, and questioned by Anthony; but they accepted it after hearing his reasoning. Of course, he had given two different reasons to the two sides.

He needed a full year to prepare everything for them to stay there, and it was only possible thanks to Anthony. Said King had provided him a lot of help and connection to make everything easier for his family to settle.

Although it was hard for his family to get used to their new life at first; now, they were having a really good time there. They missed him though, so they were waiting for the time of his visit came.

"Hoho. No wonder none of them want to return to Braxtein soon." Blake caressed his beard with a small smile. "How about Shirley and Julia? How much they have progressed?"

"They are about to finish their fourth Magic Circle." Basil smiled faintly, looking like a proud teacher. "They should have finished it in eight months."

Julia had also decided to come along with Shirley to Hua—of course, not after days of convincing Diana to allow her. With her, Shirley improved her Mastery over Magic by learning everything from the curriculum Basil himself had made.

Julia actually already had the curriculum that she would learn from, but Basil had immediately told her to cast it away—he even called it the garbage—and learn from his curriculum instead.

He didn\'t do that because he cared about Julia; he did that because he wanted Shirley to have someone to trade thoughts to. In Magic, after all, even in the same subject, it wasn\'t unusual for two peop!e to have a different understanding about it.

In a way, by telling Julia to learn the same curriculum, he was also accelerating the learning speed of Shirley; which, in turn, would also accelerate her growth. The result proved it so.

"Heuh... The curriculum you made—I wonder just how many kids you may help with that." Blake sighed lightly.

"Just any kids won\'t do. I will only share my knowledge to those whose death makes me cry."

"That way of thinking—you are the most family-loving Mage I have ever seen."

Smiling lightly, Basil picked up his teacup. Just before he could take a sip however, someone contacted him through his Transmission Talisman.

Buzz!

Frowning lightly, he put his teacup down, and took out his Transmission Talisman. Channeling his Mana into it, he immediately heard the message the person had sent him.

[You sneaky bastard, none of my Agent can find you. Where are you right now?]

Basil heard the voice of the person he had come to be extremely familiar with. The person tried to sound angry, but failed miserably.

[Anyway, just come to the palace. Let\'s have a talk over a tea. This is honestly a good news for me, but I want to hear your opinion. You are, after all, going to be involved in this matter, so I feel the need to hear it.]

The message ended there, and Basil immediately pocketed his Transmission Talisman. He had figured out what Anthony would talk about, and he couldn\'t help wondering how the story would unfold this time.

After two years, he finally got busy again.
