Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 534 The Wrong Words

Charlotte, along with the rest of her group, had arrived at the Lethal Bite Clan base at the top of the large staircase. For now, Harbour was utilizing a number of wanderers along with workers to renovate the place.

He wanted to get rid of anything that reminded him of the old Lethal Bite Clan, as it was no more. At the same time, there were a number of repairs that needed to be done on the place from before.

Thankfully, because Harbour no longer held any sentimental value over the belongings of the clan, he was freely spending funds and selling the past clan's treasures. He was using this to support the payment of other wanderers mainly since they were now protecting the city and the clan base from attacks.

Heading to one of the rooms in the back on the first floor, Harbour was standing there giving orders to a bunch of wanderers that were moving treasures that shined brightly covered in gold and jewels, and that was when Charlotte and her group had approached from behind.

"Are you really okay with getting rid of all of this?" Charlotte asked. "I know you no longer wish to rebuild the clan, but these treasures are things that your family have gained over time; it's part of your lineage."

"Part of the Clan that murdered my own family line, which I no longer have a continuation of," Harbour replied. "Besides, most of these treasures never belonged to the clan in the first place."

"The Lethal Bite Clan weren't some noble clan that had been raised making treasures of their own with skilled craftsmanship. They were a clan that focused on fighting with their fists and stole the treasures from other clans after subduing them," Harbour explained.

Charlotte knew it was quite a touchy subject so she decided to leave it at that, but now that she was here, what else could she say and talk about. It seemed like Harbour was well underway of doing things on his own, and even if she could help, what could she exactly do?

She started to twiddle her thumbs wondering if they should just rest until Himmy returned; she had already informed all of them individually about their Alter duties, and they understood it well, but that was when Raze had spoken up noticing something.

"You seem to have something else on your mind, much more important than these treasures, what is worrying you?" Raze asked.

Harbour looked at Raze once again; he had changed his hair back to black rather than the standout white, which was probably a good thing. Most middle-stage warriors would be known by the world in some way, at least in their faction, but the legend of the White Dragon was a small one.

An achievement from a student at an academy, and nothing else had occurred since then. Practically speaking, he was an unknown middle-stage warrior and it was best if he kept it this way for as long as possible.

"You have good insight; it's almost as if you can read my mind," Harbour replied. "Right now, Ivor is handling the guards and the barracks around the city. Making sure it's calm. In a situation where a Clan is completely destroyed, some warriors see this as an opportunity to attack."

"Whether that be other wanderers, or even smaller clans that surround the area. Then, Bargo at the moment, is keeping an eye on the mountain tunnel between the Demonic Faction and the Dark Faction."

"But do you really think the Demonic Faction will attack?" Raze replied. "The Demonic Faction has no idea who took out the Lethal Bite Clan; one would at least have to assume they had greater strength than the Lethal Bite Clan, I think they will be wary of an attack."

"When you speak like that, you really don't sound like a child," Harbour replied. "Talking about these matters to one with such a young face is troubling, and how much strength you have is troubling as well."

Charlotte and Anna thought the same; it made no sense other than the fact that he was a genius, but with his upbringing and background, it still didn't quite fit with them.

"Regardless, we can never be so sure with the Demonic Faction, as the clans work individually, and there might be individuals seeing this as an opportunity to attack. To prove their worth to a faction or a clan. So we just need to be careful for now."

It was understood, and Raze started to think about it. While they were here would they suffer an attack from the Demonic Faction? If that happened, what was he to do?

There was one thing that he was keen to try out, his new weapon, along with his new middle-stage power. He hadn't even been able to train on the outside of the city at the moment.

Perhaps now he was a middle stage warrior, he might be able to unlock more of the techniques from the Dark Edge Sword Arts as well.

"Oh, if you head to the second floor, one of the rooms that was used by Niang as his sleeping chamber, I managed to grab what I could from his strange research that he was doing."

"I placed everything there was in there. I took a look through it myself but there was nothing I could really find, but thought that your group might want to have a look through them as well," Harbour claimed.

Charlotte was happy because this gave them something to do, and with Anna on the case, she would be able to sort through the files fairly quickly.

The group headed to the room, and the chamber was larger than they thought. The amount of documents was large in size as well going from books to scrolls, and some of the items were even damaged.

Either way, they had got to work as they began to go through the files. Raze and Charlotte were looking at one side of the room as they eventually were looking through the same box of documents together.

While reading scrolls, out of the corner of her eye, she continued to peek at Raze.

'I want to ask him about the Dark magic he learned, how did he know those Dark magic spells, and how did he even increase to the 4-star level so quickly.

'Is there something that he knows? And, when I watched him fight, I'm not sure… but was he able to use magic and his Pagna skills? That's the most mind-boggling thing.'

It was astonishing for Charlotte, as Raze seemed younger than her, for her to ask for help, but because she wanted him to guide her she also didn't want to offend.

"Raze about what you did," Charlotte eventually spoke up without making eye contact continuing to shift through the documents. "I wanted to ask… the Da… the Da… the Da…"

Images in Charlotte's head started to appear; she felt like magic was acting on her, and she didn't know if it was her imagination or not. She remembered just how powerful Raze's magic and attacks were when fighting against Niang.

"Yes.." Raze asked.

"Can you… can you teach me how to be a better mage!" Charlotte asked.
