Chapter 1332 Waiting
Ever since the day after the tragedy, Emery had been searching for an answer. He had heard the details about the events that transpired in Golden City’s prison from his senior Fuxi.
Hence he knew that although they managed to stop the jailbreak from happening and captured the Tiger half-blood intruders, the latter managed to teleport away.
At the time of recall, along with Chumo, the intruders and prisoners were teleported at the same time; these included Magus Cassian, Gorro, Lord Esbern, and also Annara.
From the investigation, it was confirmed that the incidents that had taken place before the tragedy were not just a distraction attempt to hold certain people away from the Magus Academy but also to rescue the infamous Esbern.

It was confirmed that This radical group was centered around Esbern of the Goat Bloodline, Zenonia of the Bat bloodline, and Shan of the Tiger Bloodline. All were Zodiac city key figures who were now the most wanted individuals by the Magus Alliance.
Fortunately King Alduin and his half blood warriors have been such a tremendous help during the tragedy, not just they were awarded for their heroic rescue, the Zodiac City were treated as a separate entity from the radical half blood group.
Ever since receiving this information, Emery had been holding back from taking any action for the past four days as he awaited news from the academy or the alliance.
Unfortunately, neither of them seemed to have any intention of sharing the information they had. In fact, Headmaster Delbrand, who should be the centric figure of this matter, had been out of sight to the point of missing for the past few days.
Coupled with the words he had just heard from Magister Barty, Emery made up his mind inwardly. He decided that it was time to stop idling around and start taking matters into his own hands.
Emery glanced at Julian and Senior Fuxi. With firm determination, he resolutely said, “Let’s proceed with the plan.”
Grand Magus Fuxi, Eastern Sage looked him in the eye, uttering a serious question.
“Are you sure about this? You only have four days to prepare for your return to Earth.”
“Yes, I’m sure, Senior.” He quickly responded. “Please, let me do this.”
Just yesterday, it had been announced by the academy that the graduation ceremony would still be held as scheduled.
This meant that Emery and Julian, who came from a lower realm world, would soon have to decide between rendering their services to the alliance or returning back to Earth and staying there until they reached the magus realm.
Since they wanted to obtain the position of caretaker of Earth from the Kronos faction, it was imperative for them to return; that was what they had decided before.
On that note, with Lord Izta gone, they have one less member for the duels that will be held in 20 years, and without his three friends all those plans would be pointless.
“Yes, Senior. I cannot think about going back without trying my best to find out what happened with my friends. I just can’t…”
Julian, who had been unusually quiet, nodded in agreement as he said, “We should start right away.”
Now that the decision has been made, Emery took out a metal emblem from his spatial space. He quickly roused his spirit core and channeled his spirit energy into it. As the emblem gave off a bright light, he immediately started to speak.
“We have decided. Either we do it now or we do it ten years later.”
A female voice suddenly appeared in Emery’s mind as soon as he finished speaking, her voice was full of irritation. “No! Not ten years; I can’t even stand these last ten days!”
“Alright then, we need to contact your Darkmoon Clan now,” Emery replied calmly. “No more waiting, we are ready for a trade.”
What Emery was talking about was a trade between the spirit soul of the princess Lyanna of the Darkmoon Clan, and five million spirit stones. However, the reason he decided to do so at this moment was not because of the latter.
They had a different idea in mind, which was to acquire information about the missing acolytes.
Darkmoon Clan, being a prominent clan of dark elves, would hopefully have some information about the matter.
Once again, the Eastern Sage posed a question, assuring that the decision was a well thought one.
“Are you sure that you don’t want the alliance to be involved in this?”
A calculating look appeared on Emery’s face for a moment before he shook his head and said,
“No.. we don’t have much time, Senior. Besides, I don’t want them to take this from us, I need to see this for myself.”
Above all these reasons, the truth was Emery was angry, he was enraged. These last four days he has been holding on the savage urge within. He needed this. He can’t just sit around doing nothing and waiting for uncertain news.
The elder Fuxi could see the seriousness in Emery’s eyes. Knowing that he couldn’t change the latter’s mind, he nodded and tried to support his junior’s decision as best he could.
With the guidance of the Eastern Sage, a secret communication channel to the other side was quickly established.
It was naturally a difficult task to accomplish given the heightened situation with the dark elf clans, but Fuxi being a wanderer for the past thousand years had his own way as he managed to make the normally impossible actions possible.
It took a whole day just to finally settle on a meeting time and place they both agreed on. After that, they could only prepare and wait.
The following night, just hours before they were about to leave as planned, Emery walked to the palace courtyard. It was the exact courtyard where the five of them trained together before the tournament.
There on one of the Arena, he found Julian who was currently training with his sword and shield, emotionally releasing his anger fighting against the wooden combat puppets, sweating and panting.
When he defeated the puppet, Emery proceeded to approach him.
Julian calmed his breath and said “Ah you’re here… You want to train too?”
Emery shook his head.
Actually, there was something that had been filling Emery’s mind; hence the reason he looked for Julian. After a moment of contemplation, he finally decided to say it out. Staring at his Roman’s friend with a serious expression, he said, “Julian, I want you to sit this one out”
Emery’s surprising words quickly made his Roman friend turn emotional.
“No, I can’t do that”
