Chapter 640: 640 Stealth Research

'There is also a chance Captain Aldo is involved even without his knowledge.' thought Angus inwardly while glancing at Captain Aldo.

"Tch… This security task is more annoying than I thought." grumbled Angus.

After giving another variety of instructions to Captain Aldo, Angus decides to visit the research center. As one of the leading researchers, he still needs to report to the research center. Although this job is kind of a hobby, he still takes it very seriously.

Besides martial arts, magic is one of the subjects he is very interested in this life. Even though he keeps getting more tasks from King Leon without end, he still does it seriously despite his constant complaints.

Angus could enter the Research Center without trouble, even after having been trialed for treason not too long ago. This also shows that King Leon still trusts and expects him to work again.

The Research Center is one of the divisions that work directly below King Leon. It also has independent authority. Basically, as long as they didn't do something that would endanger the kingdom, they were allowed to do anything within a certain means.

After passing various strict inspections, Angus arrives at the newly renovated research center. Compared to the previous research center, the current one looks more futuristic. Angus couldn't even find a single opening in the building.

In fact, he couldn't even feel if the building was on the upper ground or underground. The whole building is completely isolated.

'Vigo and Gil really did not hold back when they said they were renovating the whole place.' thought Angus while [Analyze] the whole building.

"Baron Victory, please head this way." said one of the staff.

Since the research center keeps getting renovated in a short period and has a more complex pathway, some old researchers often need help finding their way. They stationed staff or young researchers around to guide the main researcher through the facility.

Entering one of the secret facilities, "Ahh.. Angus, my boy. I hear you have a trial this morning or is it afternoon?" asked Valeron, head of the research center.

"It's just a hassle. Those nobles and princes keep pestering me." replied Angus casually.

"Hahaha… No wonder you get charged with treason with that mouth of that. Well, you actually did fight His Majesty, so I guess it is not wrong." said Valeron.

"Alright, that's enough gossiping. It seems like you have not talked for days. When was the last time you went outside, old man?" said Angus.

"And leaving all of this?! You must be kidding me?" said Valeron while spreading his hand.

Since the whole research center was fully supported by King Leon and the kingdom, Angus knew that Valeron almost never left the building.

"Anyway, how is the rabbit? Did you manage to make them talk?" asked Angus.

"No. It is as you said in the report. They are also quite resistant to this Kaguya's Tear. It seems we need another pair to completely use it and control them." said Valeron.

"Hmm… That's not right. According to Lily, that mysterious turtle Ate can control the invisible rabbit to a certain extent. Based on our initial investigation, the bead is an artifact." replied Angus.

"Yeah. I thought so. But, to be fully functional, you also need to have the other bead. My guess is the turtle already managed to master the bead before one of the beads got stolen."

"As he is already recognized by the artifact, he didn't have a problem using it with just the other half to a certain extent. However, we still need to find the other bead if we want to use it for the first time." explained Valeron further.

"Hmm… Make sense. No wonder I couldn't use the bead at all. So, is there a way to replicate their stealth ability?" asked Angus.

After the war ends, Lily also tells Angus about the mysterious turtle Ate and the Kaguya's Tear she finds among Ate's possessions. Since Angus also investigates the Moon Rabbit, she decides to give it to Angus.

In fact, Lily and Benjamin find many horrifying items among the Ate's possessions besides Kaguya's Tear and Philosopher's Stone. With his years of experience, Benjamin recognizes the thing in Ate's possession.

At this moment, Angus sees Benjamin's other side. He is entirely furious and bad-mouthing the turtle for five minutes straight. Benjamin even labeled Ate as the devil for having all these horrifying items.

To prevent more trouble, Benjamin didn't reveal what kind of item it was to Angus besides the Kaguya's Tear. Still, Angus knows it must be a horrifying item like Kaguya's Tear or worse. A very unique artifact that is capable of controlling a whole race.

Unfortunately, Kaguya's Tear is useless without the other pair. However, Moon Rabbit itself is a very unique race. When the Duchess told King Leon about it, he gave Angus a new task to research their stealth ability.

In fact, Angus himself was also interested in their ability. If he could replicate their stealth skill, their assassination force would become more deadly and powerful. Angus noticed in this world, assassination is relatively ineffective compared to his previous life.

Most of the time, it only works for low-grade combatants. One of the primary reasons is because of the higher-grade combatant's natural sharp perception. Assassination relies heavily on the sneak attack. Once found, it is either their death or their target.

On the other hand, high-grade combatants have strong bodies and sharp perceptions. They could easily sense everyone's presence even if the other party tried to hide. Unless the assassin uses high-grade complex skills, their cover will be blown up.

However, a stealth skill like this takes a lot of work to learn and practice. For Angus, it is just a piece of cake. But, for an ordinary assassin, it is a very complex skill.

Based on Angus's experience, ordinary people need at least five-ten years of seclusion before becoming one with nature and hiding their presence.

Ten years may be a short time for a high-grade combatant. However, they couldn't just do nothing and learn one stealth skill. It is a waste of a lot of time.

As for the shadow squad, they are a rare individual with an affinity for dark elemental. Therefore, others couldn't learn their skill without dark elemental affinity.

In the end, Angus' task is to create a new stealth skill or ability from the Moon Rabbit that can be used by ordinary assassins.

Since the research is related to very sensitive information and may contain inhuman experiments, only Valeron can help Angus. Creating a new skill from someone's racial ability is not easy and may take a lot of human trials in the end.

The two people keep talking about the replication of Moon Rabbit's stealth ability before they finally end up at a dead end. Neither of them could find the reason behind the Moon Rabbit's stealth ability, even after lengthy research.

"Tch… It is like their presence is gone on their own." muttered Angus before getting a revelation.

"Fuck!! These Moon rabbits are truly cursed?!!" exclaimed Angus.

"Cursed?!" asked Valeron.

"Yeah. But, it is not an ordinary curse. Did you remember their story that the old ones will slowly disappear and their existence is even erased from everyone's mind?" asked Angus.

"Erased from everyone's mind?! Hmmm... You don't mean..." said Valeron.

"Yeah. Their ability does not come from the illusion or mind-type ability. They truly get erased. They are 'forgotten'." emphasized Angus.

"As far as I know, only a powerful ritual or complex ancient forbidden spell can do this. Much less to a whole race. I wonder who they offend, so they are forced into this state." added Angus.

"*Sigh* Then, it means this project is a failure, huh?" said Valeron.

"Not necessary. We could try to use the old direct method. Although I personally didn't like it too much, we don't have any other choice." said Angus.

"*Sigh* Fine. I will prepare for the subject test. I hear we lately have a lot of prisoners from Nergal's spies. It seems they are abandoned by the Nergal." said Valeron.

"Spy? Good idea. Make sure to ask His Majesty for all the spies. In case we are successful later, we need a test subject and monitor the side effects. What's better than someone with some stealth skill." replied Angus coldly.

The two researchers talk more about the experimental procedure like it is an ordinary science project without remorse and cold-heartedly. In fact, Angus didn't like barbaric human experiments, which may or may not produce results.

Not only is it too inhuman, but also inefficient. However, they didn't have any other choice. Angus also feels something slowly changing inside him, especially after yesterday's event. However, he didn't outrightly deny this change as it is part of him in the first place.

In fact, Angus just accepted his old self-nature back. His old self is very bloodthirsty, wild, and cold-hearted. Since yesterday's event, Angus always feels this kind of nature slowly coming back at him, making him slightly more cold-hearted than usual.
