Bud had asked back.

�Why? Why do they need dead mana?�

�I don�t know for sure either. But I assume it would be for one of two reasons.�

�What are those two reasons?�

Bud recalled Cale�s response.

�Either for fuel or to act as an inhibitor.�

Dead mana could be the fuel necessary to use the sky attribute ancient power.

It could also be the inhibitor to suppress the strength of the sky attribute ancient power so that it does not run wild and destroy the body.

Bud returned to the present and looked toward Cale�s mouth that was slowly starting to open again.

�Do you all agree?�

�Do we agree?�

Bud immediately responded.

�Of course!�

It was important to settle the Empire�s internal affairs that could lead to a revolt.

However, there was another reason Bud was willing to move.

�Dead mana. We need to get rid of it!�

The Alchemists� Towers to the North, South, East, and West.

They needed to get rid of all traces of black magic and dead mana at those locations.

�I�m certain that Cale Henituse is participating in this for that reason as well as the peace of the Empire.�

Bud smiled at Cale who turned toward him with a stoic expression after hearing his response. He could also see the others agreeing with Cale�s words.

Unfortunately, Bud�s smile soon had to freeze.

�But I don�t want to.�

It was the sword master Hannah.

�I can�t accept it.� JrNovels.com
