Sword God in a World of Magic

Chapter 289

Shang had to wait for about three minutes for the Inquisitor to arrive. During that time, Shang collected all the valuables and stored them inside his world. By now, Shang only needed about one second for a roundtrip to his world and back, making it easier to store stuff but still impossible to use during battle.

The Inquisitor was a grey-haired woman who looked to be in her early thirties. Of course, the appearances of powerful Mages and warriors were deceiving. She was probably nearly a hundred years old.

Shang showed the emblem he had received from Duke Whirlwind to her, and she nodded. Then, she glanced at the man on the ground and the Ice Adept waiting beside Shang.

"She's the Cleaner that surrendered," Shang said, gesturing to the Ice Adept.

"He's the suspected traitor from Duke Mithril's side."

The Inquisitor looked at the Ice Adept. "Approach," she commanded.

The Ice Adept walked forward with fear on her face.

"By surrendering and consenting to a Mind Read, you get the opportunity to turn your life around," the Inquisitor stated neutrally. "Ten years of working for Duke Whirlwind will not only be beneficial to you, but you will also make powerful connections."

"The path of a Cleaner allows you to reach the True Mage Realm very quickly, but the Cleaning Service doesn't have the necessary connections and resources to cultivate a powerful True Mage."

What the Inquisitor said sounded good, but the Ice Adept knew that it couldn't be that easy. After all, she would probably be sent to the most dangerous regions, which were outside Duke Whirlwind's territory.

She would probably end up in the frontlines.

There was over a 70% chance of her death over the next decade.

Sadly, she had no other option.

It was already too late.

"I consent," she said.

The Inquisitor nodded and put her hand on the Ice Adept's head. "Don't resist."

The Ice Adept closed her eyes.
