Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-49

Normally, speaking into the Imperial Palace would be quite difficult.

This was especially true for the Emperor’s Palace, the center and most important part of the Imperial Palace.

- Human, isn’t it too easy?

However, Cale's steps were not stopping at all as he walked forward while surrounded by invisibility and soundproof barrier magic.

“...Cale-nim, is this really okay?”

Choi Han could ask normally because of the soundproof barrier magic, but his face underneath the mask was scowling.

"Why? What's the issue?”

“...It seems too easy.”

"That is good.”

Cale responded to Choi Han as he walked past a knight.

The knight who was patrolling the hallway of the Emperor’s Palace did not notice Cale’s group at all.

‘Of course he didn’t.

This is Raon’s magic.’

Raon’s magic was something that even the ancient Dragon was shocked about. It would take at least a sword master to notice them.

‘And the only sword master in this world is Choi Han.’

The Imperial Palace knights would not notice them.

‘I'm sure some of the more talented ones might feel that something is off.’

But they would not be able to be certain.

They would not be able to recognize this magic.

- Human, the security here is so lax!

The security at the Imperial Palace truly was extremely terrible as Raon mentioned.

- They have prepared a bunch of things against black magic spells but nothing for magic spells at all!

The defenses were too lax when it came to magic.

‘The magic in this world is something only a few households learn to keep up their fame or hold up their traditions.’

Maybe it was different for the House of Huayans that created white magic, but most families treated magic like Cale described. As a result, magic was basically gone.

It was black magic that was all around, making the Imperial Palace prepare to defend against it.

‘There is a small amount of defenses against magic but nothing to defend against high-level magic.’

Raon mumbled as if he was shocked.

- There is a high-level defensive magic circle but I don't think they know how to use it!

As the Empire held a long history, high-level magic circles from around 300 years ago when magic was active were all over the Imperial Palace, especially the Emperor’s Palace.

However, the people who could use those magic circles were people of the current generation but nobody was skilled enough to do so.

‘Maybe the Huayans patriarch can control them.’

Cale recalled what Eruhaben had said to him almost like a warning.

‘Cale, the Huayans patriarch is quite skilled. Even I cannot know for sure whether I can beat him or not. If it is someone like that, he is probably skilled in more things than just black magic. I'm sure he has mastered magic as well.’

White magic, the magic that uses dead mana but releases white light...

The House of Huayans was the ones who created it.

The Black Bloods household was one of the leaders of the Hunters.

“Cale-nim, I think that is the bedroom over there.”

Cale looked at the door Choi Han was pointing at. It was located in the innermost part of the Emperor’s Palace and still had many skilled knights standing guard.

“They are quite skilled.”

Cale listened to Choi Han before commenting.

“There are five of them.”

“Yes, Cale-nim.”

Take care of them.”

“Yes, Cale-nim.”

Choi Han placed the Blood Cultist on the ground and immediately started to move.

“Ugh!”

It started with one knight suddenly falling down, and then...

Clang!

“Who are you?”

“What the hell? Did something, ugh!”

The knights were quickly knocked unconscious by Choi Han.

"Wow.”

Cale was amazed.

‘It didn’t even take a minute.’

It was only possible because the five guards were gathered together in front of the door, but Choi Han had used the fact that he was invisible to easily suppress the knights.
