Chapter 170 Possible owners
Your journey continues at empire
"Then the other artifacts we have extracted from Zone 8 also harbor a true name within them? Is that what I am understanding so far? Am I mistaken?" Draven's words echoed in the chamber, weaving a halo of intrigue around the mysterious artifact that was the door. Like its previous owner, Draven was imbued with an insatiable curiosity for this enigma.
The mere idea that a simple presence, like that of a young woman such as Cristal, could influence the door intrigued him deeply. However, what caught his attention the most was the discovery that the artifact harbored a true name within it.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
For Draven, this discovery marked a turning point in his understanding of true names. Until then, knowledge about them was vague and speculative. But now, with the revelation that a true name was intrinsically linked to an artifact, the perception of these names changed radically.
The possibility that true names were not only abstract entities but also had a tangible manifestation in physical objects would open up a new horizon of possibilities and questioning.
Draven felt driven by a burning desire to unravel the secrets of the door, but he shook his head, realizing that the artifact possibly now belonged to that girl, so he simply shrugged. He knew that taking the door from the girl was unnecessary; she had the same affinity as the door, so it was an investment. Who knows what that girl could achieve with that door, Draven thought to himself.
"My house has two artifacts that are identical to the door, but they don't budge for anything in the world. It's the same as that door," declared Gabriel, rising from his throne with an intriguing smile. He began to walk towards the center of the room, his eyes shining with a spark of excitement as he scrutinized each of those present.
"My house also has an object from Zone 8 that acts similarly to the door!" exclaimed Noah, quickly catching on to the idea Gabriel was hinting at.
Seraphine, understanding the purpose behind Gabriel's words, added, "Mine does too."
Once all the students successfully connected to the door, Cristal nodded with satisfaction. She knew that to fully activate the door, it was necessary to invoke its true name. Without this unique key, the door would remain inert, unable to respond to any attempt at contact by another person.
With a gesture of resignation, the silver flames surrounding Cristal extinguished, as did the glow in her eyes. The effort of using her powers left her exhausted.
A sigh escaped from Cristal's fatigued lips as she watched the imperial soldiers enter through the door with firm yet silent steps. They bowed respectfully to her, and Cristal nodded in response, acknowledging their loyalty and commitment. The soldiers dispersed around the room, positioning themselves strategically around the students, as still as statues and without emitting the slightest sound.
She took out a crystal and made a call: "Your Majesty, the potential owners of the four artifacts are in their first year. I understand they are in classes ranging from 150 to 200."
Seated on his throne, Gabriel's smile widened with joy. After nearly twenty years of searching and speculation, they had finally managed to identify the potential owners of the artifacts. Throughout that time, the four had been considered commoners, born of humble families. During their mothers' pregnancies, each of them had been the focus of attention of the Empire.
The mothers, humble peasants, were surprised to receive visits from soldiers clad in silver armor, sent to protect them by direct order of the emperor.
When Cristal used the door to find the potential owners of the artifacts, creating a mission that was organized and the artifacts were transported by the Serpent House. They infiltrated the mothers' houses, and the artifacts moved barely perceptibly. However, they felt it.
It was concluded that it was because the bearers were still in their mothers' womb, and from that moment on, they were always under the emperor's watchful eye.
All pregnant women received the same treatment, with their sons and daughters being raised and closely monitored to ensure their safety during infancy. They were the emperor's top priority, who wanted these children to grow up healthy and strong. However, despite all the care and attention, all of them showed limited magical affinity or unremarkable sword skills.
