[Chapter 266 Comments.]

[Adam_Balch_7324: I feel like that would be easily overlooked if you were not aware of "an agent" awaiting your arrival but i instantly got the silver to Agata reference though I don’t know why i made that connection]

"This is our transportation." Liza extended her hand, showing a black-colored carriage that had no animals pulling it. She opened the door and politely bowed. "Please come in."

Theo nodded and waved to his students, asking them to enter.

He noticed that the carriage seemed to be a bit special. As soon as Liza closed the door, the carriage began to rise into the sky.

"Oh!" The twins were the most excited as they hurriedly reached for the window, looking at the carriage rise higher and higher.

There was no one pulling it, but Theo could sense essence in the front part of the carriage. As expected, when Liza snapped her fingers, the carriage began to move forward.

"Woah!" The twins looked amused. It might be due to their affinity for essence that they were more interested in it than Liza.

Theo just let them observe the carriage and the flow of the essence.

After a few hours, they had finally arrived at the capital city of the Reiana Kingdom.

"This is our capital city."

Even Theo took a glance at the capital city since it was the first time he visited a witch kingdom.

It was a huge castle. There were two big towers on the left and right, each containing a huge amount of essence. The castle in the middle was a bit special as well. He didn’t sense any dangerous threat from the castle, but the structures were like stacks on top of each other, creating the illusion of a huge and complicated castle.

The buildings seemed to be similar to what he had in mind for buildings in the medieval era. They had a pointy roof and the buildings were made of brick. However, the layout of this castle was rather interesting.

They had a rather glaring main road as if inviting their opponents to come this way. However, Theo could see several roads for ambushes.

’So this is the Witch Kingdom. I also heard that the ruler of the kingdom is a powerful witch. It seems that this place is going to be interesting.’ Theo couldn’t help but recall the time he played chess with Agata.

"There you go! How’s that?!" Agata moved the knight into a rather vague position.

"Mhmm?" Theo frowned, noticing something. Sometimes, Agata moved her pieces without apparent reasons. Sometimes, she moved the pieces decisively to the point where she could reach him. "As expected… sometimes I understand you… Sometimes, I’m confused."

"Hehehe. Your grandfather said the same thing. According to him, I’m sometimes moving according to my instinct. I just feel that’s a good move, but when I examine it again, I wonder why I moved that piece there." Agata smiled.

"That’s true. Instinct, huh?"

"Yep. I don’t fully understand either. I do my best to make my choices rationally, but my gut is telling me otherwise. According to your grandfather, it’s fine to be that way."

"It’s true. I guess you can confuse the enemy that way. Instinct, huh?" Theo looked down, falling into deep thought.

This time, it was the same. Theo realized that the kingdom was made through the same method. The combination between instinct and rationality. Just this information alone gave him some ideas about the Crimson Witch they would have to fight.

"Interesting," Theo muttered while staring at the layout.

"Is there something wrong?" Liza asked.

"It’s nothing. I’m just thinking that the layout of the city is very good." Theo shrugged before glancing at Aurora and the twins. The twins were fixated on the two towers, but Aurora seemed to have noticed something after she got the clue from Theo.

Theo smiled and just let them do whatever they wanted. The carriage landed outside the city’s gate and entered the city normally.

Liza drove them to the inn first because they needed to make an arrangement to meet the queen of this kingdom.

This was perfect for Theo since he wanted to inspect the items and the receipt as well as reply to the comment.

After settling his students down, Theo finally opened the comment.

"Yeah. I would overlook it if I didn’t know my wife sent them. Then again, that was why my dear wife chose that code. Even if I missed it, the agent would be a bit persistent in order to get my attention.

"Then again, the ’silver’ reference was probably a bit too simple. It’s fine, I guess." Theo chuckled.

Theo then looked at the two items: the hairpin and the necklace.

"This hairpin… Is it for Mia?" Theo frowned. "This hairpin should be known as the Guardian Hairpin. It’s able to utilize the essence stored in the hairpin. From what I know, it’s able to block several attacks from someone with 6 authorities or one attack from someone with 7 authorities.

"Considering what happened not long ago, I guess it’s for Mia. Still, I don’t mind using this hairpin just for this mission.

"As for the necklace…it’s even rarer. Isn’t this pendant known as Demon Heart? It is made of concentrated blood from the heart of a demon possessor who was close to having 10 authorities in the past. It can be considered one of the family treasures.

"What’s going on? Why does she give me all this? The hairpin is understandable, but the necklace…" Theo fell silent for a moment before looking at the receipt.

As he expected, the receipt contained the item’s information. However, it seemed that the receipt had been divided into three parts.

The second part was actually a message from Agata.

"Rank 4 at the very least. Rank 5 is good."

It was clear that Agata asked him to have 4 authorities before coming back. In fact, he should strive for 5 authorities, while Mia could settle for 4 authorities.

In other words, he had to procure a lot of items that could increase his assimilation rate. Without an item, he could only reach a 46% assimilation rate by the time he left this place, according to his calculation.

"I see. I guess it’s time to use Victoria’s connection. And it seems I have to do a bit more on this mission so that this kingdom owes me and allows me to borrow their connection to procure some items." Theo smirked and read the last part, only to find himself stunned.

"Hahahaha!" Theo couldn’t help but laugh at the content. "That’s why she is my wife. To think that we would be thinking of the same thing. I will keep this a secret so I can use it, but if you are curious, let’s just say that she is giving me ’plot armor’ for this mission as long as I use it correctly."
