Chapter 1297 Agreement
"Please teach me about Order."
This statement stunned everyone in the group, including Theo. He never thought that the Phantom Archer was already aware of this information.
"Order? What kind of Order?" Felix narrowed his eyes.
"Like the order of the society?" 042 commented with a dumbfounded face.
"Order? Queen?" Rea contemplated for a moment while looking at Theo. Somehow, she connected the dot to Theo and her father's power. The absolute power that would allow them to enter the rank of the strongest people in the world.
Ryo was shocked as well, but he was a person who took his job seriously. Even when they were discussing this, he didn't turn his back around and just kept looking at their surroundings for their safety.
Meanwhile, Theo was pinching the bridge of his nose. His troubled face already showed the severity of this matter.
"This is not something easy for me to say." Theo sighed.
"I know. You are correct about one thing. I consider him my rival. In my pursuit, I stumbled upon this kind of information." The Phantom Archer glanced at Felix and said, "I believe this power will allow me to finally surpass him. If you can teach me about this power, I'll work for you."
"And why me? You can ask other people."
"I've confirmed your power personally. And the White Death has entrusted his life to you. It means that you're trustworthy or else he won't come with you or be this docile."
"…" Theo paused, contemplating whether he should recruit her or not. After a long pause, Theo turned to Felix and the others. "You guys can go to the airport immediately. Let me talk with her a bit more."
"Are you sure about this?" 042 tilted her head in confusion. She didn't know anything about Order after all.
"Yeah. Just go." Theo nodded while looking at Rea. "You're going with me. Nevertheless, you're the Sword Saint's daughter. Sooner or later, you'll know about this secret."
"Understand. Please be careful." Felix nodded. Since Theo had given his command, he accepted it immediately.
Although he never admitted it, he felt a bit proud as Theo's right hand man. However, Theo didn't seem to plan to tell him anything about this power. If the Phantom Archer really joined the group, there was a chance that Theo would use her more instead of him.
Still, he couldn't really ask Theo about this matter, considering Theo had warned him a lot about it.
Luckily, there was one more person that might have an idea about this power. It wasn't Akbar who was obsessed with this power. It was Isaac.
Isaac had researched Theo's power for a long time, so he should ask Isaac about it. Only after he got some clues could he ask Theo for clarification.
Hence, the best thing to do was to go back.
"I leave them to you, Felix." Theo smiled and turned to the Phantom Archer. "You sure don't mind following me to the other side, right?"
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Felix brought 042 and Ryo to the airport while Theo led the Phantom Archer and Rea to the other side.
As soon as they reached the other side, Theo didn't go out immediately. Instead, he searched for a hotel there.
The night was still long, so there was a lot to talk about.
To prevent any words from going around, Theo asked Rea and the Phantom Archer to talk about Order in his room.
Theo had prepared the table and the chairs, of course, with his illusion power. However, what made them confused was the empty fourth chair.
There were only three of them, so there wasn't a need to prepare that chair.
Seeing their confusion, Theo stated, "We'll have a guest later."
"A guest?" Rea didn't know that Theo had another acquaintance in this place, but she remembered 042's case. So, there might be another person that would appear out of nowhere.
"As you can see, what you want to know is a big secret of the world. People don't want to talk about it that much." Theo sighed and raised two fingers. "First of all, I need to ask you two questions. Where do you hear this power and can you tell me to what extent your knowledge is?"
The Phantom Archer still didn't trust Theo fully, so she contemplated for a moment.
"For the first question, I can't tell you the exact person. But I once worked with a top rank expert. From there, I learned about this power, so I did some more collaborations with other top experts."
"So, purely from your observation?"
"They talked about it a little but never in detail."
"Okay. I can understand that. How about the second question?"
She knew that Theo wanted to see her knowledge simply to make sure that she didn't have the wrong knowledge. So, she said, "If I need to summarize it, I know about three things.
"First, this power is called Order. When you have this power, your Magic Power will change to a certain color and amplify your power.
"Second, this power comes from the other side, not human's invention, but the monsters.
"Third, you shouldn't use your power openly because people don't know much about colored Magic Power."
"I see." Theo listened to the three things and asked, "Before I clarify anything, I want to make sure that you're going to work for me after learning about this?"
"For ten years, yes."
"I'm not going to specify the time because you need to be accepted first. Even with the knowledge, if you're not accepted, you won't be able to wield this power. And to be able to use this power will take a long time."
"Time is not specified…" The Phantom Archer furrowed her eyebrows. "And how do I know that you're not trying to trick me? By providing incorrect information wrong knowledge, you can keep me for a long time."
"Two years!" Theo raised two fingers. "Within two years, I can make you receive this power. Of course, it depends on your condition as well, so you can be accepted faster. If you haven't received this power and felt tricked, you're free to go or even try to assassinate me. But if you get this power, work for me for ten years after that… After ten years, it'll be your choice whether you want to continue to work under me or not. How's that?"
