12)Cane of Disorder
[POV:Edessak]
As I opened my eyes and looked around, I noticed that I was currently at my old bedroom in Sodela Palace.
As I thought about that day, the weirder did I feel. I had lost a few fragments of my memories of me defeating Amantha, no I did have them, it was rather my subconscious that was preventing me from that knowledge as it could corrupt me. So what did I remember? Black and gold lines?
I remember utilizing "weaken mysticism, enhance reality", but that's an Sequence 4 ability how could I use that?
While I was thinking about that day, the King entered my chamber.
" So how are you feeling Ed?" father inquired while wearing his typical smile, "Confused?" I answered truthfully". "Oh dear! you're quite alright being confused, you slept for two weeks. Your colleagues were quite hurt and your spirit body was harmed too. But no one is dead and you should really be thankful for that, especially when you guys jumped on a demigod without a plan", I nodded at my father's words, I was indeed being far too naive. Since the first day of my transmigration, I had lived secure in the presence of high sequence beyonder guards, I never really had to struggle for my potion formulas, merely because I was a member of the Augustus family. Although I was quite informed, I still lacked the field knowledge that only experienced beyonders have. "Come on, you'll get better. I made numerous stupid mistakes as a young beyonder too" the king consoled me. "So will you be staying here, or would you be returning to your manor?" father inquired, "Nope, I have to go back. I can only imagine how much work has piled up." I said while lifting my stiff body out of the bed. And excused myself from father.
[General POV]
As Edessak wolfed down his meal in the dining hall, he informed a man servant to inform his coachman to prepare his carriage. After hastily completing his meal, he wore his aristocratic overcoat and order the coachman to take him to West Borough. After entering MI9 headquarters under the concealment of an umbrella, he immediately reported to General Patnek, "I'm back from the dead Sir.", the General simply cackled and asked "You were never about to die kid, Lady Augustus was on backup if you guys messed up.", "Aunt was?" Edessak said in genuine surprise. "So what do want Edessak?" the General inquired, "I'd like to exchange Sequence 5 Mentor of Disorder characteristics with my contributions Sir." Edessak answered truthfully, the General looked at him with knowing smile and said, "So you finally want a beyonder weapon huh? You do have enough contribution. Go to the Treasury in the floor below, you'd get what you want". Thus, Edessak took his leave and got the characteristics from the Treasury. As he came out of the facility, he order his coachman to take him to the Artisan's Guild in Hillston Borough.
As Edessak's carriage halted in front of the Guild, bystanders murmured as the Augustus family insignia on his carriage attracted the attention of the onlookers. Edessak on the other hand however paid no attention to these people and strode into the Guild Master's Cabin. As he entered the cabin and looked around the room full of improbable inventions, a dwarf-looking old man greeted him from behind, "Why are you here little prince?" while scaring the shit out of him. Edessak however, hid his horror and bowed graciously, "It's an honor to meet the Royal Artisan Sir Issac", " Umu, it's definitely an honor for ya, so tell me kiddo what do have for me" Issac inquired, "Sir this a sequence 5 characteristics of the Black Emperor pathway, I'd be thankful if you could make a cane out of it for me." Edessak requested respectfully, "So a cane huh? You're a nice kid so I will help ya make it. But your accursed daddy is giving me too much work this days! If only I could get some fine wine..." before Issac could complete his sad story Edessak said "Sir I have got this real fine wine from Magyur Mansion's vineyard, I think you'll be loving it!", "... hahaha! Yeah Kid I knew you had a good heart, I'll be making you the best cane ever! Don't ya worry, I'll have it delivered into ya home by the new year, just don't forget the wine!"
As Edessak wished the demigod savant goodbye, he sighed silently 'Who knew convincing demigods this easy?'.
1st January 1349
As the City of Dust celebrated the new year, Edessak sat in his office cabin in Red rose manor and realized two years had flown by after his arrival into this world full of madness. As he was lost in his thoughts, someone knocked on the door, Edessak jolted up in his seat and then said "Enter", and Madam Lily entered the room and said"Good Morning sir, this is the parcel from the Artisan's guild that you were waiting for" as she handed the parcel over to him. As Edessak opened the parcel tagged 'Cane of Disorder' he saw a matte black cane whose handle was dyed in gold. Although it looked like a fragile wooden cane, he knew it would have probably even a heavy hitter than a Warhammer. This beyonder weapon named "Cane of Disorder" could distort beyonder abilities and human thought, it could also be used to 'Domineer' people and make them forcefully change their decisions. However one would get more and more irrational and greedy as they used this cane but if used by Sun and Justiciar pathway individuals, the side effects would be minimal.
However, as Edessak noticed a handheld mirror in Lily's hands, he looked at her inquiringly. Lily noticing her superior's gaze handed the mirror to Edessak, "Sir we've secured this artifact from an Antigonus ruin of the Solomon era, it does match your requirement and it's obviously connected to the world beyond the spirit realm.", " Very good, anything new I should know about dear?" edessak said in an approving tone. "Well, sir Ince Zangwill has stolen an important sealed artifact and defected from The Church of Evernight, and Bishop Katrina is transferred and a new Bishop named Utravsky has replaced her."
Edessak looked at the polluted city below from his window and smiled knowingly that all the pawns were in place, and all that remained was the wait for the arrival of Mr.Fool.
