Chapter 321: The Witch (8)
Under the sky tinged with the light of dawn, Grace Steele stood atop a tall building in Arcanium, squinting as she looked down at the city's nightscape.
This city was particularly famous for its beautiful night view due to the blinding neon lights that never went out and the floating objects wandering the sky like satellites. They continuously emitted light.
The official name for these objects, which were known for keeping Arcanium brightly lit, was 'Paharagal's Eyes.' However, their true purpose was to observe every movements in the city.
They observed the entire city 24/7 without a moment's rest. Yet, what's the point if they couldn't even detect a witch's movements?
"Hmm... Captain, looks like something interesting happened."
At Grace's words, Kaen narrowed his eyes. The Stella Knights were currently in control, and a team from Stella's Magic Investigation Unit was temporarily blocking off part of the area to investigate something.
Because of this, Grace and Kaen couldn't approach, but there was no need to anyway. They already knew what had happened there.
"They're using the Compass of Memory? That expensive thing..."
The Compass of Memory was a rare ancient artifact, with only seven existing in the entire world. It could recall past events like memories, but it had a major drawback: the cost of using it is astronomical.
Even using it once to recall a very brief moment costs as much as a small country's monthly revenue. So, it was not something that could be used lightly.
However, the institutions that own them—Stella Academy, the Adolevit Kingdom, the Skalben Empire, and the Manwol Tower—were so wealthy that they could use the compass whenever they wanted without worrying about the cost.
