Eternal Thief

554 Checking the Location



The special grade district of Soul Assassin House was completely lavish compared to the other districts. The special-grade students were given their own mansions, and every mansion was akin to a small castle.

Archie stood in front of a luxurious mansion.

The institute allocated this mansion to him as a special student, and he was going to live here from now on.

However, Ace wasn’t looking too optimistic about this situation because of his secret discussion with Jefferson.

In the end, Ace had no other choice but to agree to join this secret alliance, since offending an imperial family member wasn’t a brilliant choice. In fact, he had no room left for rejection, since he was invited by a demon with such a status.

Jefferson, on the other hand, also thought the same, and after helping in registering in the special district, he dropped him in his personal mansion and told him he would come back in a week to pick him up for the meeting with his backer.

In the meantime, he was free to do anything. He could even join other alliances, but he couldn’t reveal the existence of this secret alliance, no matter what.

However, Ace had other things in mind after his deal finalized with Jefferson. He was thinking about how to show his soul realm cultivation so he won’t have to go into the Imperial Domain.

But he hesitates since it might put him into a dangerous spotlight, so he has to be careful about what he chooses.

Nevertheless, he still has a month before the selected students will get notified about their selection. The new classes were also supposed to start a month after the entrance test.

In every demon institute, each grade lasts for ten years, but this didn’t mean that a new and an old student were on the same level just because they were in the same grade.

That’s why each grade was divided into ten levels.

When a new entrance test began every year, an annual assessment for the old students was also gone under these level tests to move toward the next level.

With each level cross, a student will give many perks, while failing was not an option.

Because failing in the royal demon institute means direct degradation for students above ordinary classes. While for ordinary classes means expulsion.

Students could also enter higher grade classes, but it was very difficult because of the absurd conditions attached to it.

From Jefferson, Ace found that there were just three more first-grade, special students, besides him in the first-grade area of the special district, and those three were still undergoing their yearly assessment and won’t be back until next month.

Ace finally realized just how small the number of students the royal demon institute had and why they considered elites among elites.

Anyhow, if this Ancient Alliance Gathering wasn’t looming over his head. In that case, Ace was planning on staying here for at least a decade and setting up a plan for his chain mission while becoming powerful and searching for the elemental orb.

Ace placed his student badge in front of the runic barrier which was the entrance of the mansion. It was a security measure to stop anyone from disturbing the students.

Without a student’s permission, only personal instructors could enter their student’s mansion or a housemaster-level figure.

But Ace wasn’t too optimistic about this alarming and defensive formation because they were just a fifth-grade formation enough to keep a soul realm out.

As he entered the mansion after, he had to admit it was really grand, like the mansion of the runic soul family.

pAn,d a-n0ve1,c-o-m Now, he had this vast mansion all to himself, and it had many facilities, and he could do almost anything here.

But it was a pity that Ace wasn’t in the mood to explore or waste any time because he needed to decide in a week if he should show the soul realm cultivation or not.

‘I was told I could go to the central library and select three skills of lower sky rank, one cultivation art of upper earth, and one secret skill of lower earth rank as a reward for being a special grade student.

‘While I can also select a grade-4 attacking array and a grade-4 soul treasure from District Treasure Trove of Special District. Last, this training facility in the royal tower, which had a strong illusion array to stimulate real-life training effects, and I was given 48 hours for free.’

Ace remembered the rewards in his student badge, and he even had 5,000 royal points, which was a huge amount for a new student. Not only that, but he would get 100 Royal Points every month from the institute.

At this moment, Ace entered the mansion, which was completely clean despite its size and without any servants, it was the work of an array as well.

Students weren’t allowed to bring any servants inside the royal demon institute, and neither they were given any. For more chapters, please visit pand(a-n0vel.c)om

But there was not any rule about making other students their servants as long as they were willingly doing it. The institute will turn a blind eye to it as long as no slave item was utilized.

Anyhow, Ace directly headed toward the cultivation hall, which was underground. He already had a small map of this mansion, so he knew where the facilities were located.

He then activated all the concealing formations and then use his own formations on top to make sure no one would spy on him. But he was still not sure since it was the royal demon institute, he couldn’t be too careful here.

Before, he was planning to let out one Winter and have her take Nancy’s face, but after he entered the institute and knew about the rules and contracts, they had to sign and thought otherwise.

Not only that, but those three ladies were all in their respective spaces and engrossed in cultivation after they all got a massive amount of rewards from the system in their last thievery.

Ace didn’t want to distract or disturb them unless necessary and let them absorb all those techniques and skills completely.

“Moira, do you recover completely?” Ace tried to communicate with Moira, in his true soul.

After the system used some mysterious power to forcibly activate the live fate map power to show Ace the elemental orb’s location, it naturally affected Moira as well.

Although he could still use the fate map, Moira has become completely dormant and hasn’t spoken a word since that day.

That was why Ace also didn’t try to activate the map to see the elemental orb’s potion again because he was afraid it might affect Moira again. So, he was waiting for Moira to recover because he activates that position again.

Before, he was still far away from the exact position of the lightning orb, so he didn’t manage to pinpoint its precise location. But he clearly remembered that it was somewhere in the center area of the royal demon nation.

Now that he was in the Demonic Academia Region, which was also considered a center of the royal demon nation, he should be able to pinpoint the accurate location of the lightning orb now.

If not for this serious situation, he would still not try to rush Moira.

Ace knew his prowess was no longer sufficient, and he needed to break into the higher realm if he wanted to have any chance of his thievery or survival, as the matter of fact.

“Please don’t worry, Sir. Ace, I’m fine. You can use me as you like. I can handle it.” Moira’s childish voice sounded in Ace’s mind, filled with assurance.

Ace felt Maria’s words were quite ambiguous. Nonetheless, he asked sternly, “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I don’t know why, but I just have this feeling that it was just a one-time thing. So, please go on, I’ll be fine.” Moira confirmed.

Ace squinted his eyes when he heard this and thought, ‘Moira is an eternal provenance treasure related to fate, so her intuition was not something to be taken lightly.’

In the end, he believed Moira’s intuition and commanded the system, “System, I want to see the lightning orb’s position again!”

======

[1 Million Thief Points have been deducted!]

[Host only has ten seconds before the host is required to pay 1 million thief points again for another ten seconds!]

[Thief Point(s): 136,820,500]

======

Ace wanted to complain about the short time for the whole one million thief points, but he wasn’t given the chance because the fate map again activated on its own, and started zooming out like the last time.

Ace’s eyes went sharp as they were affixed to the increasing map.

The map soon covered the entire royal demon institute before more and more areas started to appear, and soon the boundary of the Imperial Domain which was closest to the royal demon institute entered the map.

Ace instantly recognized the imperial domain because it was empty on any map of the royal demon nation. There was no map of the Imperial Domain, and neither were allowed to be made!
