章節 184: Selena's Return
At the same time, on another island, not very far away from Beatrice.
As she stared at the shadowy figure that was forming in front of her, Skye Higgins couldn't help but faintly smile.
"Selena, it's been such a long time since you've last visited, what gives?" asked Skye as she stared at the figure that was slowly but surely transforming into a woman, causing the latter to let out a slight chuckle.
"I was just a little bit busy these past few decades, and wasn't able to make much time to come visit this place, but it looks as though you've made some progress while we haven't seen each other, you almost caught up to me." said Selena as the shadowy figure transformed to look identically to her true body.
At the same time, Selena's eyes couldn't help but scour Skye, feeling the extreme power hidden beneath the latter's small body, causing the Water Archmage to slightly chuckle.
"This place is quite close to your homeland, I find it quite unlikely that you haven't visited that place in such a long time, with how sentimental you are..." said Skye as she water suddenly appeared in front of her, transforming into a solid table with two chairs.
As she grabbed the chair with her hand, sat down on it, and felt its permanence, Selena couldn't help but smile.
Although Official Mages, and even Mage Apprentices, could do the same thing that Skye did just now, nobody below the level of an Archmage could make it truly last.
Even if some powerful Official Mage spent a lot of effort and time focusing their mana, their constructs would at most last a few decades before dissipating.
On the other hand, although Skye's work could be destroyed if enough force were applied, it would never dissipate, instead, its tiny shards would wonder the world for an enormous amount of time, before being incorporated into the very world itself, becoming eternal in the process.
"It's really true, I've been so busy these past few decades that I didn't even have time to go back to visit, I do plan on going to see what is happening over there after a while," said Selena as she picked up a cup of tea that had just appeared in front of her.
Hearing that, Skye nodded her head.
"That's a pity, so why have you come here?" asked Skye as she finally turned serious.
"I've come here to visit you, why else would I come?" asked Selena as she tilted her head sideways, appearing somewhat confused, causing Skye to slightly narrow her eyes.
"Cut the bullshit, I know you very well Selena, lying to be so obviously will not work," said Skye as she looked at Selena, causing the latter to slightly chuckle.
"You've caught me, I'm here to cash in a certain favor of mine..."
...
Some time later,
As she opened the door and walked into the meeting room, where Skye Higgins was currently sitting alone, Joan White couldn't help but breathe out a sigh of relief, causing her to quickly walk up to the woman and sit down.
"Sister Skye, why did that woman want from you this time?" asked Joan, causing Skye to let out a faint sigh.
"Thankfully it's nothing major, she just asked me about the movements of the Major Academies in the area, truthfully, using the favor that she gave us back then for something this minor is a great deal," said Skye as looked at Joan, causing the latter to nod.
"No, no, that's very good, I'm just a little bit concerned about what she wants to do, you of all people, should know best of all how dangerous it can be to involve ourselves with that woman, especially now that tensions between her and the Magic Academies is on the rise," said Joan with a large from on her face.
"We don't have to worry about the Academies for now, I've already done some negotiation with them not too long ago, they shouldn't bother us for now, and even if they do, I'm sure that Serena would be more than willing to put a wrench in their plans," said Skye as she smiled.
"Hopefully it is as you say..." mumbled Joan, who was somewhat worried right now.
...
As she looked at the island behind her, Selena, who was currently floating through the air, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Skye became an Archmage, this complicates things quite a bit..." mumbled Selena, who had originally planned to have the Water Archmage help her in her plans.
Now that the latter had reached the same level as her though, this was no longer something that was possible, meaning Selena would have to slightly adjust her plans.
Whilst Selena was deep into thought, she was also quickly flying through the sky, dozens of times faster than Beatrice could at her highest speed.
As such, in just a short amount of time, Selena was able to reach her destination, Golwall Island, her home.
In just a few minutes, Selena flew above the underground home of a certain Dark Mage, as well as nearly half of the island, and reached her destination.
The Watford Family Manor.
The instant Selena appeared above the Manor, her eyes suddenly spread out and investigated the Watford family, making sure that the Magic Academy did not interfere with it.
It was not that Selena cared much about the family itself, rather, the Archmage was quite a bit afraid of the Magic Academies, especially the Shadow Monestary, who specialized in Dark Magic, using the Watford family to cast curses on her.
In merely a few minutes, Selena traced out the entire Watford bloodline that she had missed in the decades that she wasn't here.
But just as Selena was about to finish checking the entire family, she froze for a brief moment, as she reached a certain member, which she had just learned about from the memories of one of the other Watford Family members.
Iris Watford, who was married to a certain man named Renald Ages...
