He looked at the token, observing every detail. It was a simple token made of an unknown material with two characters engraved on the front. There was no sign of enchantment; however, the density of this material was extremely high.
Edward used a divination spell to translate the unknown character, and the result was simple: Astral Library.
“Finally found a clue,” muttered Edward as he used a Multidimensional Communication Spell, contacting Luna back home.
“How is the Council?” asked Luna as a hologram of her face appeared before Edward.
“As expected, but that’s not why I contacted you. I found a clue to the Savant Race, and I need you to use Netheril and divine any information you can from this token.”
“Really? Send it to me immediately.”
Edward opened a small portal and sent her the token. Then, he waited for the result. The process lasted over half an hour, and Edward waited silently.
Then, Luna contacted him.
“How is it?”
“Some positive news,” she replied. “I found a connection from the token to another plan. However, the connection is too weak and requires much time before I can find the final destination.”
“I see.”
“I contacted Hermione and asked her if she could find news about the Astral Library in the Abyss, so now, we can only wait.”
“Can you find the token in our timeline?” asked Edward, and Luna immediately knew what he meant.
“Yes, if I can find multiple tokens across different timelines, I will have a better medium for divination,” muttered Luna. “Give me a moment.”
Edward nodded. He had this idea after seeing the Magus Race Inheritance from his variant. He wanted to know whether these inheritances were different across different timelines.
A few minutes later, “I found it. It’s in a galaxy not far from us.”
“It should be no problem to sneak in and get without the knowledge of these Gods.” Many Gods were still outside the Milky Way, isolating the galaxy. As such, the Empire must always be on its guard if it wants to navigate the universe.
“Give me an hour or two, and I will make a radar for the token. You can go to other timelines, and it will point out the location.”
“No, I have something else to do before returning. Pick a team from the Time Auror and send them,” said Edward.
“Is something wrong?”
“A few days ago, I received news from the Time Aurors that the agent I sent to Charles’ timeline is missing.”
“Charles? Charles Wentworth? The guy that also reincarnated from Primordial Earth?”
“Yes,” nodded Edward.
“Do you think he noticed the agent and did something to him?”
“It’s unlikely, considering he was a Tier 8 Arcanist, but I can’t say for sure.”
Edward knew reincarnators like him could not be seen in the normal eye. As such, he decided to check it himself to ensure no problem arose.
“Well, be careful.”
Edward concluded his affairs in the council. He acquired a few more Magical Languages in the past few days, planning to fuse them with his Arcane Rune System. Although his main focus will soon be Primordial Runes, he will not abandon his own magical language. There were a few magical theories, potion formulas, and technologies that garnered his interest, so he exchanged them with people.
Finally, he entered his ship and left with C-137, who would soon become one of his experimental subjects. Of course, he won’t kill him since he is the link to control the Law Enforcement Department of the Council.
As soon as Edward left the timeline of the Council, he activated his Curse Rule and removed the curse on his body from the contract.
“Much better,” he exhaled. As for the other restraints, he needs to return home to deal with them.
Soon, he reached the timeline he sent Charles to. Edward’s ship was in invisible mode and appeared on the moon.
‘Oh, he already colonized the moon and established a base?’
Although it was only a few constructions, Edward did not expect Charles’ pace to be so fast. He checked the other planets and did not see constructions or lives.
Edward directly teleported to London. He immediately saw the city had changed. There were countless wizards flying using different apparatus and a few Muggles looking at these people with awe and envy.
On the street's corner, a distracted muggle accidentally hit a wizard. Then, a look of horror appeared on his face as he apologized profusely. Although it was dark, Edward could see the latter’s body trembling uncontrollably.
The wizard stared at him intensely before snorting coldly and spitting on the latter’s shoes.
Edward flew to a secret street where wizards gathered, similar to Diagon Alley. The first thing he saw was a shady transaction in a dark alley not far from him.
Two wizards stood opposite a third one with a large chariot behind him. The two wizards together are composed of a middle-aged man and a young wizard. Edward heard someone call him Edison.
“Have you counted the money?” said Edison.
“Yes, the cargo is yours,” said a wizard with crooked teeth and a few puces on his face. Then, he Apparated away.
“This is a bad idea,” said a young wizard next to Edison. “Buying and experimenting on muggles is illegal.”
“The Magic Council cannot control us if they don’t find out,” said Edison.
“But…”
“Don’t you want our research to succeed? If we don’t, we will lose our grant and become a joke amongst our peers.”
The young wizard was silent.
“Think about the benefit once we succeed. We will finally gather enough points to enter the Magic Emperor’s Library.”
A look of longing flashed in the young wizard’s eyes as he heard the word library. This is something that all wizards wish for–a place that holds all the world’s knowledge. And in the current time where knowledge equals power, this is a temptation that no wizard can resist.
So, he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine.”
The two then took out their wands and cast a spell to place the ‘cargo’ into a bag before teleporting away. Edward watched everything calmly before checking out other areas of this place.
Finally, he decided to check out the Time Auror’s secret base. According to mission protocol, the agent must establish a temporary moveable base for such a long-term mission to ensure the person who replaces him has the necessary information.
Edward used the secret tracking method of the Empire to find the base, which was located somewhere in Peru. Once he found the pocket dimension in which it was located, he checked to see if there were any intrusions, but he did not find anything.
He used the correct method to enter the base in order not to activate the self-destruct protocol.
After entering, there was nothing inside besides a normal room with a bed, a small library, a kitchen, and a dining room.
Edward cast a spell, and the room suddenly changed. Countless runes appeared before condensing into what appeared to be a seed. He knew it was a file of all of Charles’ activity since he entered this timeline, so Edward read it.
He hoped nothing happened to the agent.
