Chapter 101: The Worries of the Empire (Part 2)

"The things that Merlin said all came true. Last year, your brother’s condition suddenly improved and he was no longer dying within the magical tower. However, at the same time, black mages appeared in Phoenix Duchy. The people that I have kept by my side did not manage to resolve the situation, and this has resulted in black magic spreading to the Loulan Duchy. The son of the Grand Duke of Phoenix is still in the imperial capital. He doesn’t dare to go back. This imbecile. It would be good if he had just one-tenth of his father’s capabilities."

Merlin…

Viscountess Lex continuously repeated his name in her heart and grew uneasy. Merlin had been the last astrologer in the empire. The words he had said before dying were too frightening.

"What else?" Viscountess Lex became solemn as well. If Merlin’s prophecy was coming true, then not only would the Qin Empire face a crisis, but the entire mainland would be in turmoil.
