Chapter 463: Volume 9: Phantom of the Ancient Castle - 12: Entering the Path_2
This act of willingly surrendering one’s land to the mob was entirely different from losing territory in a foreign war—it was unforgivable, and the kingdom dared not set such a precedent.
Yet the posture the kingdom had willfully adopted invited speculation, and the fact that Boninski dared to publicly challenge the authority of Duke Philip let the nobles of Cyprus taste a flavor they had never before encountered—as if the cork on a long-brewing bottle of wine had been pulled, releasing a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance. This fragrance was called royal power.
Of course, whether that cap could be tightly resealed depended on the measures employed by Duke Philip, the sole ruler of the Homer region.
Upon returning to Ugru, Komer went straight to his secret chamber almost immediately.
Avoiding the Magic Prohibitions and mechanisms he had set up, Komer entered the inner layer of his secret chamber—the most hidden laboratory of his, which was divided into three rooms. Apart from the innermost room used for his own Cultivation, the middle chamber was designated for the growth-stage zombie, and due to the special circumstances of this Light Mage, Komer also placed her in the last room of the secret chamber.
This secret chamber was located at the heart of the Eye of Darkness, as determined by Rebury and Newman, where the abundance of yin energy made it an excellent spot for the cultivation of Dark Magic Power. Komer, the castle owner and territorial Lord, unapologetically designated this area on the second floor as his private domain, while several Mages and Dark Knights also took over several rooms around the Eye of Darkness on the first floor for their own training experiments and rest.
