Green Tree Castle City, the suburban area of the Inner Circle.

Within a forest shrouded in a black fog, an altar had been erected, but when it first appeared was uncertain.

Various twisted corpses of the dead surrounded the altar, forming an inscrutable pattern.

At the heart of the altar was a beautiful young woman with delicate features, she was currently unconscious on the altar, her eyes tightly shut.

“We succeeded…”

A stooped priest in a black robe stretched out both hands excitedly, “With the blood sacrifices of nine hundred and ninety-nine individuals, and the sacrifice of a ‘Holy Relic’! Using the Saintess as a core, we were finally able to draw upon a fragment of power from the magnificent ‘Lady Moon’! It has crushed the Arcane Spirit and drawn upon it!”

“The Spirit of the Arcane will nourish my lord’s domain and hasten her recovery.”

“Working in collaboration with the Ancient Snake Society… After attacking the Inner Circle, we have finally acquired the Spirit of the Arcane. This is enough, let it be understood, let’s start the retreat… The aftermath of all this will be dealt with by those demon followers!”

The priest in the black robe turned and gave orders to his surroundings.

“The Chief!” At this moment, a few robed individuals bowed and spoke, “Before this, the Saintess mentioned that her contractee seems to be also inside the White Tower!”

“That sinner who dared to blaspheme the Saintess?”

The chief of the Black Robed Society hesitated, “Just retreat! For this plan, we have lost so much, so we must give priority to keeping our gains… As for that blasphemer? He will eventually be sacrificed to death by the Saintess herself!”

Drawing upon the power of the Gods was an exceedingly terrifying undertaking in the era of the Dawn of the Gods.

In fact, they all were almost at their limits.

The Black Death Followers seemed to hold the chief in high esteem, and upon hearing the order, immediately started to prepare to retreat.

Just at that moment, the chief of the Black Robed Society was looking at the direction of the Inner Circle and a smile crept across his face.

“What happened?”

A Black Death Follower immediately asked him.

“Nothing… The Chief of the Council, [The Arcanic Caster] has arrived!” the chief of the Black Robed Society slowly stated.

But as soon as this title was spoken, it produced an effect similar to a field of purification, causing all the followers of the Black Death Society to quicken their actions…

Half a month later, Barlay Bank.

“Sir, how may I assist you today?”

A tall woman in professional attire bent over energetically, her ample cleavage on display.

‘The service is not bad huh, no wonder the reputation of Barlay Bank is good within the Federation…’

The biggest bank in the White Eagle Federation was naturally the First Bank of White Eagle, which had the authority to issue ‘silver’ fiat currency and was controlled by the Federation. It also bore the heavy responsibility of maintaining financial order and stability.

The rest were various private banks that had sprung up offering a variety of financial services, such as… safe deposit boxes and commodity custody!

Before coming to Green Tree Castle, Su Lu deposited some of his belongings in the safe deposit box at Barlay Bank via custody and took out a high insurance policy on them.

“I’ve rented a safe deposit box! The kind that doesn’t need to be recorded!”

Su Lu handed over a brass key with a number on it.

“Please follow me!”

The tall woman inspected it and then led Su Lu to a manager’s office. Once formalities were completed, she took him down to the underground vault.

Clang!

In the dull sound of a turning lock, Su Lu opened his safe deposit box and took out a few items without attracting any attention.

These items included a page from the Black Magic Book, the Crow’s Mask, a bag of Golden Dragons, and most importantly, the Seal card and the Obsidian

Pendant.

This level of privacy was crucial for these private banks. It was rumored that even gangsters used them for illegal trades, and due to privacy clauses, this information would be seen as customer confidentiality and protected.

Stowing away the items one by one, stepping outside, he saw the smiling lady, nodded at her, handed her a small tip, and boarded a public carriage waiting by the road.

“Sir, where are you going?”

“The train station, thank you!”

Su Lu tipped his hat down, hiding half of his face.

‘Perhaps… I should start thinking about forging an identity, or maybe creating a magical artifact for disguise?’

Although it had been half a month since the last attack, for Su Lu, it seemed as if it had happened yesterday.

At that time, heretics were continuously streaming into the White Tower. The White Tower was in total chaos, and the situation had reached a crisis point.

Fortunately, the Chief arrived at a critical moment, together with top-level members. The assault was countered, and two great legends were sent packing.

Had it not been so, the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle, with hundreds of years of history, might have faced the risk of annihilation!

Of course, the aftermath of the attack was devastating. At least three Green Tree Council members died, and the rest were more or less injured.

The Federation’s retaliation was also fierce and ferocious.

The first wave was, of course, a city-wide manhunt. The followers of the Black Death Society and the Ancient Snake Society were all on the wanted list with high priority.

Even the two legendary figures, Moron and Black KOS, faced the Federation’s ruthless onslaught.

Reportedly, the two advanced professionals kept fleeing, fleeing into the deep-sea region, but were still pursued and a great battle ensued. Moron was severely injured and fled, and Black Kos fell on the spot.

Considering his [Phantom Demon] job, he was not necessarily dead, but he must have paid a heavy price.

But all of this had little to do with Su Lu…

After all, he was a victim.

When the storm had somewhat abated, he began to consider leaving Green Tree Castle.

If it was the Outer Circle, it would be simple. He could simply quit his job. But in the Inner Circle, there was a bit of a problem.

Luckily, the ‘Arcane’ contract previously signed had been destroyed; theoretically, every member of the Inner Circle now had their freedom.

Of course, this situation would not last long, soon the [Great Arcanists] would develop new contracts, and the witnesses might be changed directly to indestructible targets like the Spirit World.

So, before all this, Su Lu chose to leave.

After all… wasn’t the Inner Circle not restricting the freedom of its members?

And to Su Lu, as a single small ant, no big shot would pay particular attention to him. As long as his previous act of secretly recording the heritages like [Dimensional Walker] wasn’t discovered, he was innocent!

The Inner Circle had heavy casualties. Many researchers had asked for long leaves of absence and needed to adjust their physical and mental conditions. Su Lu merged amongst them without raising any suspicions and managed to receive approval for leave easily.

Simply put, without going through this procedure, he could escape. After all, without the White Tower and its Mystic Lock, with his ability as a [Wanderer] , he could go through anywhere, in any direction.

But doing so would make him look guilty and could cause trouble in the future. It would be troublesome to be on the wanted list.

Although the domestic registration management of the Federation is not strict, and there are illegal immigrants everywhere, Su Lu still cared about his identity as Potterley, a college student.

After all, he was a college student! This record could be shown anywhere..
