The Genius Mage Chapter 301 - The Current Situation of Spark City

Chapter 301: The Current Situation of Spark City

Shadowless Ghost Hand hesitated for a moment. The girl in front of him always gave him a mysterious feeling, especially her azure eyes, which seemed to be filled with secrets.

“Please allow me to go in and report,” said Shadowless Ghost Hand as he walked in.

Audrey was waiting outside the door.

In the study, Lance was lowering his head to handle some official business in Spark City. As Shadowless Ghost Hand approached, he sensed it. Before he could speak, he asked, “Someone is here?”

“Yes, Miss Audrey is here.” Shadowless Ghost Hand was not surprised that Lance knew that someone was here. After all, Audrey did not hide her aura. Even from such a distance, the City Lord could sense it.

Hearing this, the corners of Lance’s mouth curled into a meaningful smile. Then, he put down the official business in his hands and said, “Let her in.”

Shadowless Ghost Hand was slightly taken aback. He did not expect the City Lord to agree so easily. In the past, if the City Lord did not meet outsiders, he would definitely not meet them.

As expected, Miss Audrey was an exception.

“Yes.” Shadowless Ghost Hand acknowledged and walked out. “Miss Audrey, the City Lord is waiting for you in the study.”

Audrey was delighted. She immediately walked in and headed straight for the study.

However, when she reached the study, she did not see Lance. She only saw that behind the study wall, there was a door that was faintly emitting light. Audrey was puzzled. What exactly was that place?

Since it was behind the study wall, it must be very secretive. Why would lance leave it open and let her come over? Would that not expose him? Or did he want her to see it?

Audrey a.n.a.lyzed the situation in her mind and guessed that Lance had deliberately opened the secret door for her. Although she did not know what his intentions were, Audrey still followed his instructions and walked in.

The moment she entered, Audrey was stunned.

Behind the secret door, there were over a hundred pillars. On each pillar, there were energy b.a.l.l.s of different sizes. However, some of the energy b.a.l.l.s had already dimmed, and some of them were still emitting a dazzling light. They were the ones they had brought back from the isolated island.

What are these? Audrey asked in her heart.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind her. Audrey subconsciously turned her head and saw Lance, who was dressed in a black knight’s uniform, walking in.

“You must be very curious about what these are,” Lance said faintly.

“Yes, but I’m even more curious as to why you lured me in.” Audrey chuckled, and her words were very straightforward. She did not like to beat around the bush, especially when someone was as smart as Lance.

Hearing this, Lance laughed and said, “You’re very smart.”

Audrey nodded in tacit agreement. She had never denied that she was brilliant. In her previous life, she had been publicly acknowledged as a genius mage. In this life, she would also become a genius.

“These are the energies that support the existence of Spark City.” Lance looked at the s.p.a.ce with a complicated look in his eyes, and his tone was slightly heavy. “The energy of Spark City has been decreasing since a few decades ago. Therefore, I can only use this method to support Spark City. Otherwise, the energy of Spark City will decrease drastically, and more than half of the natural elements will disappear. At that time, there will be no way to cultivate.”

Hearing these words, Audrey was slightly shocked. She did not expect Spark City to have such a side.

“Why is it like this?” She asked in a low voice.

“There are some organizations that have appeared in Spark City. The most famous among them is the Carol a.s.sociation. Their existence has brought great destruction to Spark City, which is why there is a lack of energy,” Lance explained without holding anything back.

Audrey’s expression sank slightly when she heard the words ‘Carol a.s.sociation’.

In her mind, she thought of the mysterious man in royal blue clothes. That person was too mysterious, and his strength could not be underestimated. He was a difficult character to deal with.

She thought that no one knew about this, but she did not expect Lance to know about it.

“So you knew about the Carol a.s.sociation all along.” Audrey thought for a moment and told Lance about the various battles she had with Carol a.s.sociation. “They are indeed very strong.”

“This is also a headache for me. But now, I only know that some people are affiliated with Carol a.s.sociation. I have no clue about the person behind the scenes.” Lance nodded, and a complicated look appeared on his handsome face as he said with a slightly depressed expression.

Audrey gave him a meaningful glance. She already had some guesses in her heart. A hint of wisdom flashed across her eyes as she said, “So, why did you lure me here? You didn’t just want me to listen to you talk about this, did you?”

“I want you to investigate the Carol a.s.sociation in private and find the mastermind behind the scenes. Then, eliminate the Carol a.s.sociation and let Spark City return to its peak.” Lance thought for a moment and spoke frankly.

Such a huge mission surprised Audrey. How could she do it by herself?

“The City Lord might have overestimated me. I can’t complete such a huge mission.” Audrey rejected decisively. Not to mention that she did not need to interfere with the matters of Spark City and the Carol a.s.sociation, she had more important matters to attend to.

Furthermore, the Carol a.s.sociation was too powerful. Her current strength would not be enough to best them.

“Yes, you can,” Lance said firmly.
