Silva spent a few minutes explaining everything and answering all their questions. They all wanted to give it a try, but Silva refused, as he didn't want to destroy the castle by accident.
After the presentation for the day, Silva called all those that were yet to evolve. He wasn't done with their training, even if it had been pushed back.
So he called Aaron, Fay, Dawn, Lia, Mike, Roxy, and Sage. They all waited for him in the battle arena of the castle.
While Silva was headed there, Aris met him and stopped him.
"Silva, I've had something I wanted to tell you since the day I killed the king in the underground passage," Aris said.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Huh? What is it?" Silva asked.
"Well, I know you already know about the demon blood situation, but it seems to have gotten worse.
I fought with the king, and he used demon blood, but it was different from what we knew—it was more refined," Aris said.
"So what you are saying is that the empire is getting close to perfecting the blood?" Silva asked.
"Pretty much. It seems that it's getting better, and we will have to find a way to stop this. You have paused your plan to enter the empire," Aris said.
"I didn't pause it; it's still ongoing. But I've decided to try and build our home first. Also, I want everyone to be truly strong before we do.
And that's why, right now, I'm going to beat—sorry, train their asses until they finally reach the level I want them to be," Silva said and walked away.
As he went through the hallways headed for the arena, he thought about what she said. The demon blood was what he was supposed to find out about.
The tendrils raised them high into the air and slammed them into the ground with so much force that they nearly passed out.
"You guys should heal up. Round two in ten minutes. We will have to keep going until you pass your limits," Silva said.
"Master, you are smiling," Drake came to Silva's side and said.
"Huh? Smiling? I didn't notice that. I guess I'm having too much fun," Silva said.
"So chucking them like rag dolls is fun for you?" Drake asked.
"Well, it's for their own good. And also, yeah, I love chucking them around," Silva said and went to sit down.
"Well, there is an issue we have to discuss. I sent the blueprints of the mana gun to the factory we set up for it, and immediately someone tried to steal the blueprint.
He was caught and is now in the dungeons. When we looked into it more, we discovered that the man was not in the right state.
Something was controlling him. It was buried in his brain—it was a crystal. We don't know how or who has it, but we need to be careful," Drake said.
"Well, tell me more about this person. I believe there is more to him," Silva said.
"We couldn't find anything about him or where he could have possibly gotten it from. I decided to ask you before I took any serious measures," Drake said.
"You have my permission. Ask Lily to run through his memories with all the force needed and get what we need.
There might be more problems with this issue, and we don't want that to spread—even if it means affecting that man," Silva said without emotion.
Risking one person was more important than risking the kingdom, and that was what Silva lived by.
