Odyssey of the Blind God Chapter 700 Clan Of The Silver Eye

Chapter 700 Clan Of The Silver Eye

The Silver Eye Clan is a well-hidden clan that was not known by many people.
In fact, those who had known about this village were either dead by now, or directly related to the clan.
What many didn't know was that the Empress was actually the rightful heiress of the Silver Eye Clan and that she abandoned her dusty as the Silver Eye Clan's heiress to marry the Emperor.
Emerging from the shadows, she was thrown into the midst of the spotlight where everyone could see her.
In the current era, not many hidden clans existed thorough the Lacardia Empyrean Void. Most were somewhat known, even though their hideouts were still secretive.
However, the Silver Eye Clan was on a completely different level. Skilled Summoners were secretively trained in these Clans once they had awoken as unique existences in the world. They possessed unique traits just like Nial's golden eye of potential and the silver eye of perfect mana vision.
The Silver Eye of perfect mana vision was actually the unique trait of the Silver Eye Clan's main family, and it was something that was trained for millennials by now.
Because of the Silver Eye Trait, the Silver Eye Clan was known as one of the most mysterious and elusive hidden clans.
It was also the clan Nial was sent to one day, in the middle of the night. He and Celine were teleported to the outskirts of a dense forest, which they had never seen before.
The Empress had warned Nial that he would be sent to the Silver Eye Clan somewhen in the next few months. Even the Empress didn't know the exact date. After all, the Silver Eye Clan had moved places to retain their status as beings of the shadows, unknown to the world.
When Nial and Celine emerged on the outskirts of the dense forest, he turned around immediately. He saw the fleeting outlines of a cloaked figure disappearing in the midst of golden particles. The cloaked figure disappeared in the spatial portal it had manifested, leaving behind Nial and Celine.
"W-what is going on!?" Celine screamed out, quieting down only after Nial put his finger on her lips.
"Calm down. Didn't mom tell you about the Silver Eye Clan?"
"...The Empress? She just said that I should stay by your side and be prepared for everything."
'So even Celine wasn't told a thing? I couldn't see the Mana Source of the cloaked figure either. Looks like everyone is a lot more secretive than expected…not that it's confusing.'
Nial didn't hear a lot about the Silver Eye Clan until now. However, what he heard from the Empress' stories was enough to create a rough picture of their goals and attitude toward the Lacardia Empyrean Void.
The Silver Eye Clan would have never allowed the Empress to marry the Emperor if they weren't closely tied to each other. What Nial didn't know, however, was that the Silver Eye Clan had been the shadow of the royal family's bright light for thousands of years by now.
In fact, without the Silver Eye Clan, the empire would have never been founded in the first place.
That was the truth not many know about, and Nial was making his way to this mythical hidden clan.
However, before he could enter the clan, he had to find it first.
"I wonder if someone will come to fetch us…" Nial mumbled mostly to himself.
"...probably not though. This should be a test to find out how strong my Silver Eye is and how delicate my control of it is."
Nial figured that the Silver Eye Clan wanted to test him and that the dense forest was likely to be their playground. Without any information about the dense forest and its inhabitants, he had to proceed carefully.
He and Celine were not exactly powerful either. Thus, it was necessary to evade most monsters as well.
'The Silver Eye Clan is well-hidden from prying eyes, and its inhabitants are powerful skilled Summoners. There should still be a certain degree of comfort, so they probably live in small huts rather than hiding deep inside a cave. Tree houses that blend seamlessly into the surrounding foliage, maybe?'
Nial was trying to figure out a few things. He wanted to find out how difficult it would be to enter the Silver Eye Clan. Since his information was shallow and severely restricted, he could only guess that it was hidden through a series of tunnels, and traps, designated to repel unwanted visitors and protect the secrecy of the clan.
'Probably illusion runes and somewhere in the deeper parts of the forest…'
Nial and Celine were somewhere in the middle of nowhere but it made more sense to hide a place in the deeper parts of a forest, mountain, or some other place that was hard to access, in the first place.
Thus, it was only obvious that they had to pave their way through the dense forest.
As for the direction, wouldn't it be best to go straight ahead while using his Silver eye to detect the mana around them?
Nial had used his Silver Eye's special property almost every single day for the last few years. He was only seven years old, and the unique property of his eyes had been awoken almost immediately. He was not even sure whether he had been born with fully functioning Silver Eyes, or if it took him a while to unleash their full potential of them.
Was he even using the full potential of his eyes in the first place? Nial was not too sure about that, but he wanted to find it out.
"Let's go! We have lots of things to do!" Nial said, grasping Celine's hand before he stepped into the forest.
His eyes scanned the dense forest in its entirety before he paved his way slowly but steadily around the dangerous regions.
Meanwhile, he never let go of Celine.
The charming personal maid was still too baffled about the sudden teleportation into the midst of nowhere, and that Nial was tightly interlocking his hand with hers.
This was too much for her to handle!
