Chapter 377 Meeting (II) Black Petal Sect
"I regret to say these following words which I dread, but it seems that there is no other option now. There is only one 'group' that wears all black, and has power over this very material," Hyst's father exclaimed, staring at the Dark Ore.
"Their name has been mostly restricted throughout the three kingdoms as taboo, but I must speak it here for I have no other choice."
He paused, as Lyrian squinted his eyes slightly--feeling as though he had heard all of this before somewhere.
"The Black Petal Sect." As soon as Hyst's father said this, Lyrian's eyes expanded and the women in the room gasped slightly.
'The Black Petal Sect? That's what Israthel and that other kid spoke about just before the deployment exam...'
"If I may, m'lord," Sebastion spoke up unexpectedly, as Hyst's father's gaze switched to him.
"I know that this is out of place," Sebastion said, but Hyst's father quickly reinforced him.
"No, go ahead. You have been serving this family for so long that you are practically a part of it now. Your opinion also matters. Please speak your mind..."
With this, Sebastion spoke, "Although suspicions may arise of the Black Petal Sect, I do not believe it is wise to assume that it is that group who has caused this mishap so soon."
As Sebastion paused, everyone quietly stared at him to continue. And he did just that.
"The Dark Ore is a newer substance to this generation, but it is one lost to the ages. It existed in the past before and was held by far stronger and even more evil organizations. It likely fell into the wrong hands. About the black attire... that could simply be a matter of coincidence."
He paused for a moment longer before finishing his statement, "That is my two cents on the matter, but if more information comes out supporting that the perpetrators are indeed of that evil sect, then action should be taken immediately."
Lyrian responded as Sebastion stopped speaking, "How would we take action? This Black Petal Sect seems quite mysterious... do we know where their headquarters are? Whether they are nearby or not? How do they work? Anything?"
At that moment, Hyst's Grandfather scoffed, "Che! As if! Those bastards were destroyed several years ago. Only now do their remnants want to show their teeth... No one knows where they operate from, but if they are back, then the fact is that they are definitely somewhere close."
After this, Lyrian encouraged the family to inform him about what this Black Petal Sect exactly was.
"It is a long history... but to keep it informative, I will tell you what I know to the best of my ability."
Hyst's father took in a deep breath before explaining the sect.
"After the Ear War of 511 years ago ended, it brought about peace across the continents. Finally, death for the innocent had stopped, but this wasn't good news for all. Many still had hatred toward The Mortal Plains for wanting to end this hatred-fueled war and decided to conspire against it. The Black Petal Sect itself existed far before the Ear War ever took place, but it was nothing more than a measly organization. About 50 years after the Ear War, however, it became the stronghold for all evil warlords who wanted to destroy the Mortal Plains and establish a new form of power to reengage in battle with the other continents."
Hyst's father paused, continuing as he walked through the room.
Everyone looked at him with a feeling of uneasiness as he spoke.
"They started off in the three kingdoms that were already closely allied: Yuun, Veridrake, and Yaltas. It took them mere decades to decimate the population of these kingdoms, murdering over a billion citizens and causing mass havoc throughout the world as we knew it. However, before they could expand their dominion outside of the three kingdoms and to the rest of the Mortal Plains, the great academies, sects, and powers teamed together to destroy them once and for all in a grand battle. This battle, however, is not spoken of in any textbook, nor discussed any longer. Neither is the Black Petal Sect. This is because the kingdoms decided to not shed any more light on such an evil organization, and kept it under the table. Of course, they couldn't be hidden from those who had already experienced their wrath..."
Hyst's father finally turned to Lyrian, "And for now, that is all I know about them."
"I see..." Lyrian looked over to Sebastion, "For now, Sebastion's words make sense. I won't rule the Black Petal Sect out just yet, but we'll have to keep investigating until we find some trustworthy footing. That's all I wanted to talk to you all today about."
Lyrian said, fitting to leave.
"Lord Lyrian!" Hyst suddenly exclaimed just as Lyrian was about to step out of the door.
Lyrian turned to face Hyst, who was hiding his face for some reason--as if in embarrassment.
"I know this is selfless of me to ask..." Hyst scratched the back of his head, "But... would you please investigate the Red Light District next?"
"That place? Well, I was going to do that soon... why can't you explore it if you want to so bad."
"Well, I guess I just suck at investigating compared to you, since you found this much information on your first quest. I have tried doing my best investigating that area, but bore no fruit."
After this, Lyrian fully turned around and asked, "Why is that place a priority?"
Hyst paused before replying, "First and foremost, recent child disappearances have been cited there as early as this week." He paused once again, getting a bit awkward, "And secondly... that was where I last saw something very important to me, who has also disappeared."
Hyst stared at Lyrian with eyes of genuineness, as Lyrian swiftly turned around.
"I'll see what I can do." n-(Ovelb1n
"W-wait! B-but! If you are planning to go there tomorrow, just know that the Red Light District only opens during the nighttime..."
Lyrian retorted, "Right." Before leaving.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Hyst exclaimed in contentment.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
