A Demon's Journey

Chapter 215 - Master Pazzi

In the Sinyalian Kingdom, the King had heard the news of how the Roger Dukedom had not only survived but annihilated the Radiant Church.

When he heard of this news, he had to force his face to remain calm despite the excitement in his heart.

Although he had given up on the Roger Dukedom in his heart, it was because he did not wish for the entire Sinyalian Kingdom to be embroiled in a civil war.

The consequences would be disastrous. And the destruction of the Radiant Church could indeed ensure a civil war.

However, the situation was slightly different from what he imagined.

It appeared that Duke Steven Roger had already prepared a countermeasure for this situation. The Visionary Connecting Array had prevented that situation from occurring.

He knew that the Walsh Dukedom had greatly benefited from this situation. Moreover, he had heard the news that Duchess Siluca was taking quick actions to take complete advantage of this situation.

The King Valliadis called out for a servant, "Summon Duke Steven Roger to the Royal Palace. Do not speak of this to another man."

The man gave a half-bow and spoke, "As you command, your Majesty."

Edwin had stepped into the Mesenana City, the capital of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

His motive to come here was simple. To investigate the Royal Family.

The spies he had in the various Noble Families hadn't found anything worthwhile regarding the Royal Family.

It was just a bit more elaborative information than the common people.

It was clear that the Royal Family of the Sinyalian Kingdom had many secrets they managed to conceal even from the spies of the Noble Families.

And if the Noble Families did know about such secrets, they were rather discreet in talking about it.

Edwin had naturally asked Siluca about the Royal Family, but she couldn't tell him anything useful.

Considering her infatuation and feelings for him, Edwin knew that Siluca wouldn't withhold such information from him.

This meant either her spy network was rather weak or the Royal Family was just too mysterious.

Thus, Edwin was forced to enter Mesenana City. He had a contact he could use to check out the Royal Family.

That contact was naturally none other than Sophie.

The last time she met with Edwin, she had witnessed a bit of his Heavenly Tribulation. She believed that this Heavenly Tribulation was due to Edwin's status as a Hybrid.

He had broken through to the 5 Star Rank, and the heavens had ruthlessly thrown Heavenly Lightning at him.

She had seen that Edwin had barely survived the Heavenly Lightning. Moreover, the next time he would encounter this Heavenly Lightning would be during his breakthrough to the 6 Star Rank.

At that time, the Heavenly Lightning was bound to be even stronger. She had to quickly learn the 6 Star Ranked Arrays.

The best barrier techniques that could protect Edwin during his Heavenly Lightning.

Naturally, her master was quite shocked to see how devoted she was to the array training now.

She spent so much time studying these array techniques that he was slightly worried about her. He decided to consult Bianca (Sophie's mother) regarding this matter.

"Good morning, Madam Rita." Sophie's master greeted Bianca as he stood outside their house.

"Good morning to you as well, Master Pazzi." Bianca gave half bow to the man ahead of her.

Master Pazzi's complete name was Hendrix Pazzi. He was greatly respected by all individuals in the capital, including the Royal Family.

It made sense as he was one of the only 6 Star Array Masters of the Sinyalian Kingdom. Although his cultivation was only at the 5 Star Rank, he could still draw 6 Star Ranked Arrays as long as he was provided with precious resources.

He was considered one of the rarest talents in the Array Masters within the entire Sinyalian Kingdom.

Bianca and even her husband Spencer were delighted when they heard the news that Master Pazzi looked favorably upon their daughter's talent. It was out of their expectations when he asked them to take their daughter as his disciple.

The number of disciples Master Pazzi had could all be counted on one hand. All of them were reputed 5 Star Array Masters now.

Sophie was Master Pazzi's fifth disciple. He had been rather satisfied with her progress regarding arrays.

"Please come inside." Bianca invited Master Pazzi inside her house.

Master Pazzi nodded before following Bianca to the living room. The two sat across from one other on couches, with a table in the midst.

Bianca ordered a servant to bring some jasmine tea for Master Pazzi.

"It appears that your husband still hasn't returned yet, Madam Rita," Master Pazzi commented.

Bianca had a bitter smile as she replied, "It was a mission from the King, so, naturally, it would be complicated. However, he did talk to me recently and informed me that he would return in a couple of weeks."

Master Pazzi spoke, "That would be most fortunate." His voice became a bit solemn as he continued, "In reality, Madam Rita, I came here to talk to you regarding your daughter."

Bianca was startled and immediately asked, "About Sophie? Did something happen, Master Pazzi? She hasn't done something silly, right?"

"…As you might know, your daughter has great talent in array formations. Her natural talent has been so great that she had reached her current level through it. I remember she took a leave for nearly an entire month, and since she returned, she had buried herself in studying the array techniques."

"I have always chided her for being so casual regarding the array training. Even though she became a 5 Star Array Master, she still lacked in knowledge. She didn't know how to examine them carefully or even break an existing one. Her intuition and talent merely allowed her to create a 5 Star Array."

"However, just as relaxing too much is futile, the same is true about being too serious. Sophie's mind and heart are clearly chaotic right now. If she continues to study and attempts to create an array while her mind is in such a state, the results might be disastrous for her spirit. Before confronting her, I thought it would be best to consult this matter with you." Master Pazzi spoke seriously.

Bianca was genuinely shocked to hear this. She knew her daughter was more serious regarding the array formations and was happy. She never imagined that Sophie's condition was so serious.

"Is she some sort of stress? Did she witness a close one die recently?" Master Pazzi asked with a solemn expression.

Bianca spoke while shaking her head, "No… As far as I am aware, none of my daughters' friends died. I don't understand why she would be under stress. The only reason I can think of is that she probably misses Spencer."

"No. This isn't the first time your husband had left for a long mission. Your daughter never showed any abnormal behavior. This behavior began since she returned from that trip," Master Pazzi responded.

"That trip? But she only went to visit her friend. Maybe something happened there that Sophie isn't telling me," Bianca concluded.

Bianca finally spoke, "I will talk to her regarding this and find out what happened."

Master Pazzi stood up after hearing those words. He appeared satisfied as he replied, "Please figure out what happened. Because before we know the situation, we cannot confront Sophie. Her emotions appear rather unstable."

After saying that, Master Pazzi turned around to move out of the house.

Bianca immediately spoke, "Please stop by for the tea. It's about to be prepared."

"No. I merely came here to consult you regarding this matter. I need to return now. I am working on another array."

Bianca then respectfully bowed her head while speaking, "Thank you for coming all this way, Master Pazzi. I shall be eternally grateful to you."

A glint of desire appeared in Master Pazzi's eyes as he stared at Bianca before it quickly vanished.. He soon began to walk out of the mansion.
