Chapter 444 Surging Undercurrents

Feidnan City, Adept's Tower

Meryl storer painted all over her face

Lessons started today Groups of apprentices rushed to the arcane hall with books in their arms They hastilydown the corridor

If this were any other tis with a warm soodhich to maintain the smile on her face as she stoht the attention of the apprentices They started chatting and gossiping about her once she had walked away

Most of the apprentice adepts knew nothing about the situation, but there were soht not have seen anything happen with their own eyes, or even heard of any related news, but they are still able to piece together the whole matter based on clues and hints hidden all over the place

You couldn't help but be impressed by how confidently and vividly they described an incident that they had only pieced together based on ruth didn't ainst others was a craft of its own!

Adept Keoghan, as lecturing today, arrived at the end of the corridor as the apprentices chattered and talked

"It's al here for? Go to your classes"

The apprentices scattered when Keoghan reprimanded them with a mean look They bowed and left

Once all the apprentices had left, Keoghan let out a sigh before sloalking to the arcane hall

As a core adept of the clan, he est adept, but he was undoubtedly one of the most loyal He knew very well the tensions between Greehan was one of the adepts who had the most contact with Greeence, strategies, and co with him were talented individuals as well; Bloody Sorceress Mary and Evil Bugs Acteon If those two hadn't chosen to stay in the other plane, they would probably enjoy as widespread a reputation as Greeht rein on all three of these newly advanced adepts, the clan's future expansion and strengthening would be a certainty Furthermore, if Lady Sanazar could advance to Fourth Grade within the next hundred years during this, the Sarubo Clan would even have a chance to take the next step They could rise to becoe-sized clans on the Continent

When that happened, the clan would possess a perer be pawns and subordinates of a anization

Unfortunately, powerful adepts often held lofty ans pointed towards the fact that Adept Greeh he had signed a hundred-year contract with Lord Sarubo, his actions were clearly those of ato lay a path for himself

This insubordination would undoubtedly attract the dissatisfaction and oppression of the clan's higher-ups

Keoghan received countless reports about everything happening in Gilneas City on a daily basis He had a clear picture of the situation there It was a nightardless of how enius they were Moreover, it was a swamp that had been created by the elders, intentionally or otherwise

It didn't matter whether Greem took the bait and fell into the web of conspiracy What awaited him would still be the reprimands and punishments that the elders had already prepared

If the Aki Clan caught hie of the situation and have hiht that Greely created would fall apart

This ehts and a a force and faction of his own

If he didn't fall into the trap and becaht, then Gilneas City would fall into complete chaos and disarray When that happened, Greele accusation of cowardice in battle would be enough grounds to pass harsh judgment upon hi fro to throay a powerful subordinate like Greem However, they couldn't let him do as he liked That hy necessary suppression was required at ti had to be kept to an appropriate level Otherwise, it was likely to exaggerate further any resenthan didn't have to be present to figure out what Meryl had gone to Adept Fügen for He could also tell what Fügen's reply was judging froen's rough and crass way of handling this situation

Since Meryl couldn't bear seeing her teacher in that situation, and had actively requested to join hio It would at least decrease any resent any reinforcements!

As a newly advanced adept, Meryl had little to no coht even turn into a burden for Gree any help Why should they deny Meryl when it wouldn't turn the situation around?

Sadly, Adept Fügen was far too conservative and stubborn He only kne to execute Lady Sanazar's orders to the letter He didn't kno to beso, wouldn't they be reaffir Greem and his faction?

If that was the case, was it possible for Greee to teach him a lesson?

No Resenth

Adept Keoghan shook his head and walked away as he silently contemplated
