Inhuman Warlock Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026 Chapter 1026

The other method was something that involved the person able to control space itself, which only a very few high-ranking species could do.
"Did you see any bright light when he disappeared?" he asked the Guard.
The Guard shook his head in response. "There was no bright light when he disappeared."
The Merchant Head rubbed his chin, lost in deep thought. "With an ability like that, it must be an Overlord Rank Clan. A clan like that would never send anyone here for trade. Then what was someone like him doing here?"
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come to a conclusion. In the end, he decided to stop thinking about it entirely. He just felt a slight regret in his heart.
If the person walking on the water was actually from an Overlord Rank Species, then they made a huge mistake by not approaching him. They could've been able to establish a good relationship with that person and his clan.
Most of the Overlord Rank Species were the wealthiest and all ruled over a high-ranking world, possessing many mystical treasures. It was almost impossible to meet their members.
"Big mistake... Such a missed opportunity..." The Merchant Head sighed, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Their ship kept progressing further. They reached near a whirlpool in the middle of the sea and stopped on the edge.
The entire whirlpool was being protected by the Aquarians. They weren't the only merchant ship near the Whirlpool. Tens of ships could be seen in the surroundings, all waiting since the Whirlpool was the only way to enter the aquatic kingdom.
Each of the ships went through heavy checking. Their permission and invitations were also checked, along with the identity assigned by the Aquatic Kingdom to make sure no stranger was there.
Only after a thorough check, the ships were allowed to pass through.
Once entering the whisper, all the ships were surrounded by a Mystical Aura that protected the ship from getting destroyed by the pressure.
The merchants were also shrouded by a similar aura thanks to the tokens assigned by the Aquatic Clan. Because of the aura that surrounded each merchant, they were protected from the water and were able to breathe freely even inside the water.
Without the token, anyone who wasn't an Aquarian could suffocate to death within minutes. However, that token wasn't useful for eternity either. It could only be used for three days at most every month.
That's why no merchant could stay in the Aquatic Kingdom for more than three days, which was enough time for trade.
One after another, the ships entered the Whirlpool, going deeper and deeper inside the water.
After half an hour, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Royal Capital of the Aquatic Kingdom.
"No matter how many times I see this place, I'm always mesmerized. What a beautiful place..." The Merchant Head sighed in amazement as he looked at the majestic Royal City in the distance.
The guard who was responsible for previously keeping an eye on Lucifer was also amazed.
His gaze soon shifted to something else, noticing a young man walking toward the Royal City.
"Huh!" He rubbed his eyes, in disbelief. How could Lucifer be here, and that too walking so freely in the water without the protection of the token and its golden aura shield around him?
"Master! Look there!" He called out as he pointed towards the distance.
"What am I supposed to be looking at?" The Merchant Head looked where his guard was pointing but couldn't see anything significant.
The Guard was also taken aback. Once again, the man wasn't there.
He wanted to tell the Merchant Clan Head about what he saw, but even he knew that what he saw didn't make sense. There was no way the clan head was going to believe him.
Instead, he considered it to be his hallucination. "Nothing. I was just amazed at how beautiful even the border walls looked"
He kept his mouth closed and didn't say what he saw. But once again, his mind was filled with thoughts about Lucifer. Was that man really here? Did he actually hallucinate or was it reality? If it was reality, then who was the person? Or rather... What was he?
The Merchants landed the ships outside the Royal City and got out of the ships, carrying boxes of trade goods with them as they walked towards the entrance of the city.
After another thorough check, they were allowed inside the city and escorted to the Trade Market.
Although the Aquatic Kingdom was inside the water, it looked no different than any normal Kingdom. The only difference was that there was water everywhere, but strangely enough, there was no resistance. One could walk freely even inside the water as if they were walking on land.
Inside the Royal City, it was impossible to swim or fly. Only Royal Family Members could do something like that.
....
Lucifer walked through the streets of the Royal Capital, looking at the bustling marketplace. The things being sold here were different from what could be seen on Earth. Many treasures that couldn't be seen in other words could be found in the market.
At the moment, the entire market was bustling, especially many Royal Carriages could be seen driving past, stopping by various shops. Many big families in the Kingdom were trying to buy the most expensive Treasures that they could find.
Today was the day when the King of Aquatic Kingdom completed his five hundred years. It was his birthday today, and everyone wanted to show their respect to the King through their treasures.
Lucifer understood the situation as he heard many people talk about the event. He couldn't help but find it familiar. His Ancient Clan was destroyed when they had their guards down during a birthday celebration. The situation appeared to be completely identical.
Unfortunately, he neither felt happy nor sad about the timing. It was not up to him when this place was going to be destroyed. Even he couldn't control the unstable core inside his body.
The only thing he knew was that the more unstable his mind became, the shorter that duration became. But even if his mind was void of any emotions, it still didn't stop the inevitable.
While Lucifer was walking through the Royal Capital, the Royal Palace was also going through some commotion. The King of the Royal Palace personally came out to welcome some special guests.
No one knew who these guests were or why the King was so respectful to them. The King didn't even show such respect to the Star Alliance after all.
