Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity

Chapter 103: Massive Operation

"Why are we taking a detour?" Inside an inconspicuous carriage riding down the streets of the undercity, a young lady spoke out loud.

"Hm? We are heading to the North of duan city" Beside her a young man with a faceless mask on responded.

These two were Leon and Arian. After leaving Bartholomew’s house, Leon decided to take a detour for some reason.

"Oh.....why?" Arian asked. Frankly, she was tired of this place, especially with the fact that her father was here. Actually, they had to sneak out while Bartholomew distracted the old man, she didn’t want him finding them.

The longer they stayed here, the higher the chances of him Actually finding them.

"Don’t worry, we are just going to see Carlson" Leon assured.

He had just come from the waterway family a few days ago after beating Draven. Now he was going back to check on Carlson and his progress with Leon’s weapon.

So they rode into the tunnels, and surprisingly, they exited without any hiccups, apparently the sorcerer had left that area so as not to attract attention.

"Halt!!" In front of a familiar gate, a guard in blue amour stepped forward to stop a carriage moving towards the gate.

"Identify yourself now!!!" The guard at the gate commanded with his spear pointed forward.

"Neigh!!!"

The horse at the forefront stopped its movement upon seeing this.

The door to the carriage swung open and from it, a young faceless man in traditional Japanese clothes stepped out from within and proceeded to walk towards the guard.

"I am here to see a member of the waterway household. He’s called Carlson" from behind the faceless mask, Leon’s voice resounded.

"Carlson? Never heard of him, now back off!!!" The guard snorted and threatened to stab forward. Unfortunately, Leon was not moved even in the slightest.

He understood that the waterway family was on high alert after losing so badly to some random warlock that just appeared days ago. So he didn’t fight them.

"Pridefulheart" Leon muttered.

This didn’t mean that Arian couldn’t beat them.

A few minutes later,

The gates parted ways and Leon’s carriage rode into the mansion and moved slowly towards the stables. They didn’t make as much of a ruckus, but essentially, Leon had entered the waterway family the same way Bartholomew had.

"Hello, I’m looking for my friend Carlson please can you point him out to me? I think I’m lost" from inside his carriage Leon asked a few ladies in maid outfits. When he last came here with Bartholomew, it was straight to the point.

But now, he was really having a hard time finding his way around while dodging important areas. Talk less of finding Carlson.

"Uhhh, I don’t really know anyone with that name sire," noticing the person speaking was probably of high status, one of the ladies responded with respect.

Such a luxurious carriage and a voice so deep and eloquent. Other than a Noble mage, who else could speak like this?

"Ahhh….really?" Leon frowned…he was slowly coming to a realization. The guard at the gate didn’t know this name, and now the maids. Was Carlson using a fake name?

"Okay..... I can describe him….he has short silver hair.....eyes the shade of…." Leon describes Carlson’s facial features. But with every word that came out of his mouth, the expression on the maid’s face became worse and worse.

"The good for nothing senior, brother Obryan?" The maid asked. Obryan was the son of one of the top elders of the clan….but he was a good for nothing. Normally, the clan would send the members of the clan out to gain experience, but this didn’t apply to the top elders of the clan.

They would usually be trained within the clan with the help of others. That was, Except for Carlson.

Carlson was born weak and progressed really slowly….so his father sent him to a backwater part of duan city to serve as a city guard.....but he was lucky and caught the attention of a beautiful lady from another family.

Coincidentally, she was a level 3 mage with resources that the waterway family needed. And when they were so close....Obryan ran away from the engagement ceremony.

He was really an asshole for leaving the lady in such a state, as such, all the girls in the waterway family hated him.

"I guess so…." Leon couldn’t help but shake his head. Apparently, Carlson was a good for nothing.

"He hasn’t been here for years.....but if there’s anyone who would know his whereabouts, it would probably be his father...it’s just that" after some deep thought, the maid explained the situation.

And after a while, she pointed him in the direction of a stand-alone building at the back of the mansion main building constructs.

Soon, Leon appeared before the building at the back of the mansion and knocked. This building was in a patch of grassland planted behind the mansion….it gave this place a sense of not being part of the city.

It felt more like the outside world.

"I can sense several energy signatures from the buildings at the side. They are looking at us" from beside Leon, Arian spoke up.

This wasn’t the only building in this area. When Leon first approached, he felted the energy and was able to immediately identify that they were powerful….most being at level 3. But he had his own level 3 tank with him.

Besides, when they started walking forward, there was no attempt to stop them, so they just kept on moving.

"Don’t be bothered. Let’s keep moving" he knew Carlson was here as he had noticed him during his battle with Draven…he had come out to spectate from far away.

—sqeeek

The door opened up and a shirtless youth with sweat dripping from his clothes and silver hair with a goatee of the same color emerged.

"You’re the boy? Okay, come on in" the young man said, then turned around to walk into the tower - shaped building.

"Hmmm" Leon nodded and followed behind….inside the room like a typical common home with furniture akin to the most standard quality.

There was nothing luxurious here.

But this place was apparently not where they needed to be, as the youth who bad invited them in kept walking forward until…. He came upon a staircase, but this staircase wasn’t leading upwards.

No, it was leading down.

"Make sure you stay close.....no matter what don’t get lost" the young man sounded a simple warning before starting to descend.

The staircase was dark and lonely, with no light in sight except that from above the staircase and that from below it. At some point, it seemed like Leon could even here his thoughts out loud....but finally, they arrived at the bottom of the stairs.

—Clang

—Kinning

But as soon as they stepped foot on the bottom, the general sensation changed. They were immediately assaulted by the sound of iron crashing iron and heat.

They were in a tunnel pathway the size of an average man.it was difficult to fit in…

(Why is this place so damn hot)

Leon complained. When he was here with Bartholomew, he didn’t notice this kind of situation. That went a lot to say about the secrets of these noble families.

While they mused, the shirtless youth began walking down the tunnel, not paying them any mind. Leon had no choice but to follow again.....it looked like their journey hadn’t ended.

"Seventh batch of the day!!! Clear the main tunnel!!" While they were moving, a voice resounded from out of nowhere.

"Out of the way" the shirtless youth leading them down the tunnel directed before stepping into a tunnel on the side.

—crrrrrrrrrrr

Soon the sound of a cart being rolled forward echoed from behind, forcing Leon and Arian to mimic the shirtless youth.

The cart moved forward and passed them. Then they emerged from inside their respective tunnels.

"Were those?" Leon asked with a clear frown on his face. Inside the cart, he was able to see several red-hot weapons being transported.

The number was huge.

"We are almost there" not paying any mind to Leon, the shirtless youth resumed his strides forward flowing the pathway with much vigor in each step

Finally, taking before the light and exited the tunnels.

—woooooo

"A waterfall in the city?" Leon was stunned. What laid at the end of the tunnel was a massive opening with a waterfall acting like a veil rushing down from on top.

—Clang

—Clang

—Clang

To the side, men could be seen reshaping weapons, using the water to cool them and so many other things….this place was a mass production site for weapons?

While Leon was trying to understand why the waterway family, hard such a huge operation under their family mansion. A voice resounded, drawing his attention.

"Brother Badur!!"

To the side was a young man he was quite familiar with.

Carlson
