��I�m not really afraid of the mermaids either.�

However, Cale did not say that out loud since he should not run into any mermaids in the future.

Toonka observed Cale�s calm demeanor before continuing to speak.

�Those bastards do not need their souls consoled.�

The consolation of the soul referred to cremation.

The citizens burned mage corpses whenever possible. Of course, there were some corpses with their heads rolling around on the ground, but those corpses would soon be burnt as well.

However, there must be a reason for the corpses they left behind not to be burnt.

�Probably the ones that killed the most citizens.�

What do you need the most of to advance magic devices?

Experiments.

What would they experiment on?

People.

There were many mages who performed experiments on humans in secret.

�I plan on getting rid of them when there are no more mages left in this kingdom. There will be no traces of them left.�

Toonka quietly mumbled, contrary to his usual self. However, Cale did not pay much attention to his words.

Although all of the mages in the tower were dead, not all of the mages in the Whipper Kingdom were dead.

�The Mage Tower mages were all part of the mage faction.�

They were hierarchical and greedy. A tower is naturally going to have a top and a bottom. The people on top enjoyed looking down on the people down below.

However, there were some mages who stayed far away from power and greed. They preferred not to take part in politics or anything of power. Those mages were currently in hiding, trying to find a way out of the Whipper Kingdom, as well as trying to determine where to go.

Crown prince Alberu Crossman would be their shield. Alberu will gather together the mages who are only interested in magic research under his wings.

Cale then asked Toonka.

�Can I go in?�

Cale put the two kittens in his arms down on the ground. They will stealthily investigate on their own as long as the entrance door remains open.

Beacrox and Choi Han stood behind Cale. Seeing Beacrox there, Cale had a confused expression on his face. However, Beacrox was looking toward the still bruised and battered Toonka with disgust. JrNovels.com
