Chapter 127: Smooth criminal
-Wow, just wow-
-Don't just blatantly steal lines and phrases- Ace said in a mocking voice
| I'm sorry, it was right there for the taking and I couldn't resist |
-He thinks that just because his internet was gone for 2 days, he can just come back to be like this? Guys, search through your brains, we'll have to teach him a lesson by using more lines-
| I'll allow it. Just once |
We then left our private room after several discussions.
"Judging from your mischievous smile, you got something planned, am I right?" Professor Steel asked
"Oh you have no idea" I smiled
"Are you 2 together or something?" Lucas pointed out as Cordelia linked her arm through mine
"Yeah, sort of, it's really complicated"
We then bid our farewell and left.

"So I won't be able to join you?" Cordelia asked
"No, this mission will just be me going solo, since I can go through walls with dark phantom, hide my presence and escape without a trace, since my professors found me, it won't be long till information leaks out and this kingdom knows about me being here, and since I just left Artia, they'll be curious about why I was in their royal library, so they will send people on our trail"
-We can just go to the settlements that Zach told us, but none of them have any snow dragons there, so we won't be able to find your parents there, and the mystery of Diana's bond tattoo also baffles him, so we'll help Damon first-
-That's fine by me, but I also don't mind you helping my sister first- Damon responded -I already gave up on finding my parent-
-Did you find any information from the older gods at all, Dabria?-
-A few seems to know, but has refused to answer since it would be interfering too much- she answered
-So that means that there is an answer, that's good news-
"Well make sure if you get some scrolls, maps or books, you allow our librarian copy it for our library too" Cordelia reminded
"Don't worry, I will because anything in that hidden room is definitely going to be inspected everyday, so I will have to return it and not have enough time to read about it all. I'll try to use illusion magic to make it look like what I have are there before I return it"
"We tested it out while you were in the room, there's enough spatial disruption to make us not able to use most spatial magic spells apart from spatial storage" Damon commented
"Well it's easier than I thought then, You guys might want to head back to Neelofar and prepare the ones who will be able to copy them quickly, then I'll be able to return it before their daily inspection, tonight I'll go in to check their routine, I'll start the whole thing tomorrow night"
*****
My body was floating through walls and got into the secret room without anyone noticing, even in my dark phantom form, I still try to avoid patrolling guards if possible. And with Dabria there with me, it wasn't long till I familiarized the patterns and found the books that I was going to keep.
-These books look the most used, we're definitely getting these tomorrow-
I then flew around to find many scrolls, maps and artifacts. Some even had runes and enchantments on them.
-Don't steal those artifacts, they'll be alerted if you do- Dabria warned -Even if it's not, your illusion magic might be good, but they will investigate the matter once they find out that it's all gone-
-I know, they will investigate every person who stepped foot in this library, including the professors, and disguise or not, they'll know who we are, so we'll wait till the seekers launch an attack or something, we'll steal during the chaos, we can sell of these for a lot of gold coins-
-You also have to factor in how long your illusion magic will last while you're so far away- Dabria reminded
-I'll just quickly drop them off and head back here quickly then, so as long as the others will prepare everything by tomorrow, we'll be out of here quick-

Professor Steel was in a call with the headmaster and professor Williams.
"Perseus doesn't seem like a person to lie, but for such a powerful person to exist...Cyrus isn't going to like it" The headmaster muttered
"It also won't be long for the military to hear that Perseus is a corrupted from his majesty, and like us, they despise the corrupteds" Professor Williams added "Are you sure he was a corrupted?"
"Yes, professor Green confirmed it, his energy and everything about him resemble one, but unlike the others, he still remained as himself" Professor Steel answered "And I don't need any gadgets to tell, him and his bonds have grown much stronger than before. Any of you know who his teacher is?"
"No" The headmaster sighs "I looked into our files, teachers, alumni, no one fit the description of being that strong, unless he was exaggerating, but even if he was, he's definitely very strong, so let's spend a bit more of our time searching for this mysterious person before next year's inter academy competition"

Earlier...
A giant golden dragon whose length was almost twice as big as Damon was flying through the air and amber colored eyes was flying at high speed and landed in front of a large cave. He was then greeted by a regular sized dragon.
"Master Erix, your boss, master West, have called in for the annual meeting" the small dragon said "It will be held in 3 weeks"
"Can't you or someone just go in my stead" Erix replied
"No, he asked for all of you to go in person, there's also a new recruit, approved by master West and 4 of the top 13 while you were away"
"A new recruit? What is he or she?"
"I've heard that it was a dhampir, it is also rumored that it is master Urie's child"
"Oh" Erix smiled "That's definitely interesting. A dhampir, huh? That guy finally found something that interest me, and if it was approved by our boss himself, he's definitely going to be great. Reply to our headquarter, No.2 Erix will be there early"
