Chapter 138: In The Elven Palace
By the time the trio had returned to Cordelia’s office, Atlas had begun a word-for-word and verbatim report to Cordelia of everything that had happened in the past half day.
After half an hour of explanation and Atlas exaggerating some of the things, Cordelia was beginning to get a clearer picture of the depth of the danger.
The thickness of what was going on was really dangerous. The fact that they hadn’t yet killed every one of the worshippers of demons and angels and that they didn’t know if such a thing would happen in the future, in a populous city or elsewhere, worried even the ancient woman herself for a brief moment.
Still, there was nothing to do now. Except, of course, to get information.
Even if Cordelia hadn’t been overly concerned, Atlas’s words and the little bit of information he had given her about the ’great war’ made her realise that they needed to prepare.
There were, of course, ways to identify angel worshippers. After all, not all demon and angel worshippers had negative karma, so everything had to be tried.
Cordelia had directly summoned one of the sorcerers under her command and Cain himself in particular.
When Cain learnt that he had been summoned on a single, direct order, he immediately abandoned the little research he had been doing on the other side of the continent and came to the academy.
In just an hour Cordelia had given the necessary orders and as Cain stood respectfully in front of her she turned to Atlas and asked, "Atlas, that portal thing...do you know anything about it? There’s no other way for demons or angels to pass through without being summoned."
Cain and the following Sages focused on Atlas with curiosity, and Atlas shook his head and replied, "I got a clue from one of the devil worshippers, but I’m not sure if it’s true...It could be a lie told to get between them and the Epsilon Empire."
When Cordelia heard these words, she shifted herself into a more serious sitting position and gave a direct order, "Speak."
