Sword God in a World of Magic

The Manager couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had already been surprised that he couldn't glean any information from the book, but it was something completely different if not even the Starlight Queen could do so!

"What should we do, my Lady?" the Manager asked.

The Starlight Queen looked at the book for a while longer. "Tell me where that technique comes from."

The Manager quickly told her everything he had heard from the Supervisor.

"Hmm," the Starlight Queen muttered after hearing everything. "Getting an Ice Lioness from the Ice King's Domain is not an easy feat. It had either been captured by a very weak force that didn't enter the Ice King's eyes or someone above its power."

"Additionally, I believe that the person had disguised themselves, which is why they don't feel familiar," she added.

"My Lady, what if the small warrior that got that book was lying?" the Manager asked.

"No, he wasn't," the Starlight Queen said with confidence.

This confused the Manager a bit.

When the Starlight Queen saw the Manager's confusion, she explained. "Mage Kings have a deeper connection to the world and reality itself. What you have spoken about resonates with reality. There are some obfuscations, but the retelling of the Mage's identity rings true with reality. That's how I know that the warrior didn't lie about the identity of the Mage."

"Thank you for explaining, my Lady," the Manager said respectfully.

The Starlight Queen looked at the book for a bit longer.

"What should we do now?" the Manager asked nervously.

After looking at the book some more, the Starlight Queen sighed.

"I have to ask the Custodian," she said.

The Manager's heart shook.

The Custodian?!

He was a mysterious yet very friendly man. Not much was known about him.

However, he was one of the absolutely most powerful Mage Kings in the entire world.

The legends even said that he could become an Emperor if he chose to.

The Custodian was the second-highest ranking member in the entire Lightning Manor, a power that ruled over about 10% of the entire world!

"You can leave," the Starlight Queen said. "I will inform you on how to proceed."

"Yes, thank you, my Lady," the Manager said before walking out of the office.

The Starlight Queen continued looking at the book for a while, but she just couldn't glean any additional information from it.

That frustrated her quite a bit.

'Did one of the other Emperors personally interfere?' she thought with doubt. 'I don't think so. There was basically no attempt to conceal this Star Map. Additionally, why would an Emperor be interested in creating some more physis in the Fourth Realm? That would have no impact on anything.'

After a while, the Starlight Queen stood up and left the office as well.

She walked past the small corridor and entered a gigantic door.
