Of course, Singten Merchant Guild�s Plavin did not know about Bud�s identity. He just left any urgent messages in a secret location Cale had told him about and Bud went there once a day to check for any messages.

Bud sounded shocked and nervous.

� He thinks the four Alchemists� Towers are going to strike the capital all at once!

Choi Han, Eruhaben and the others stiffened up.

The four Alchemists� Towers that had been wary of each other were going to strike the capital together?

Even though they knew how many soldiers were at the capital?

This sudden change did not make any sense.

Bud continued to speak.

� A sudden mage�s forces appeared at an Alchemists� Tower and said that they would help them. They are supposedly people who want to create a Magic Tower on the Eastern continent.

Cale�s eyebrows twitched for a moment.

Bud seemed to be responding to that small response as he continued to speak.

� But you know that�s weird. The Eastern continent does not have a Magic Tower nor a faction like that! Plus, who would help the Alchemists� Towers right now? They are people who use black magic! It�s that bastard, that bastard! The mage bastard who was with the White Star at the Castle of Light. I�m sure it is his faction!

The mage who had shown skills at the level of a Dragon at the Castle of Light.

He was certainly the one who had brought his forces to the Alchemists� Towers.

In that case, the Alchemists� Towers, aka the black magic forces and the power players of the Empire, would find it worthwhile to try. They might have decided that rather than being at a stalemate like this, they could use this moment to push Sir Rex�s forces out.

However, this was Bud�s opinion and they had no way of knowing if this was the truth.

There was only one thing they were certain about.

� The White Star has not let go of his ambitions to take control of the Empire!

The White Star still wanted the Empire.

Cale could imagine the reason why.

The current White Star needed dead mana like the ancient White Star and the black magic faction were the ones who would be best at providing it for him.

� Cale, it looks like you need to quickly come to the Empire, if you don�t-

�How wonderful.�

� �Huh? JrNovels.com
