Astral Lighthouse, Astral Observatory.

In front of Vincent was the Stranger constellation that was connected to the Astral Circuit. Surging magic power was guided into the vast magic network from here and then resonated through the constellations into the ether domain of every registered magic chanter.

As long as he obtained the authority to use this constellation, he could bypass the Astral Laws and establish a connection with the Astral World, advancing to the Legendary domain-a domain that had kept him out for more than ten years.

This was a promise Duke Simon had given him.

However...

Vincent sighed slightly.

He didn't believe that Duke Simon's plan would succeed. Or rather, even if Duke Simon's plan succeeded, it definitely wouldn't be the bright future they had imagined more than 20 years ago.

After being enlightened by the magic chanter named Presiding Judge, Vincent increasingly realized that his previous worries weren't unnecessary.

How different would the fate of the Blackwater Province ultimately be, whether it was controlled by the Empire or the Void Sovereigns?

Moreover...

Vincent recalled the Divine Realm magic chanter and his expression of having everything under control, as well as his confidence in letting him go after stating his request.

Was Duke Simon's plan as foolproof as he said? Or was every step within that person's expectations?

With this in mind, Vincent discovered the problem that had eluded him.

Why did that person choose to appear in the Silverstream Mine? Why did he let me off so easily?

The Rose Palace's Mage Hall and the Bramble Guards' headquarters were two places where problems were more likely to arise because there were too many people. However, the first time he appeared was in the Silverstream Mine.

It had to be known that the Silverstream Mine had always been handed over to the Moon Realm spirits to handle. Even the miners had been controlled via specially implanted Soul-Ingesting Spider Demons. Other than the supervisor sent over, even the people from the Mage Hall didn't know what was below.

And he chose to appear in such a place.

What was even more inexplicable was that not only did the magic chanter not leave after killing the presiding Moon Realm spirit, but he also calmly stayed where he was and specially created a chance to talk to him alone.

If he hadn't long understood the duke's plan, how could a Divine Realm magic chanter like him lower himself to change into a miner's outfit and infiltrate the Silverstream Mine alone?

It couldn't be that he came because he lacked Elementium Silver, right?

Therefore, what was the other party's true goal in letting him go?

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

"... Could it be that he already expected me to tell the duke what happened in the Silverstream Mine?!"

Upon having this realization, Vincent broke out in cold sweat.

If that was the case, everything made sense. This was a trap the other party had planned from the beginning.

Duke Simon planned on simultaneously holding the King and Rebel ritual and the Eternal Gift at the Holy Sepulchre. He did a perfect job of keeping it a secret. Even Vincent, the Chief Palace Mage, didn't know.
