Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight
Chapter 272
Woosh!
Fire rose up with a flick of a finger.

With another flick, undulating waves of electrical currents rippled outwards.
The far northern reach of the Great Plain of Aiyash, where the old Magic Tower—now called the Tower of Trials—was located, had become hell on earth.
“AHHH!”
People were desperately screaming with no intention of stopping. All of them had something in common: on the breast of their robes were embroidered the symbol for “truth.” It marked them as magicians of the Magic Tower.
“Th-There should be a magic barrier, so how...?” Donald, a magician from the 3rd Magic Tower, muttered as if he were in a trance.
The barrier was a masterpiece of the Magic Tower that was created after decades of research that had begun the last generation. Crystal balls and any magic below Class 6 were completely useless inside the barrier... at least, they should be. At this moment, the magic barrier was completely useless.
“Who is that guy? How can he use magic so freely here?”
“MOVE!” At that moment, one of the mages shouted at him.
Donald hurriedly threw himself to the side, and a stream of red fire, darker than crimson, passed through the place where he had been standing. If he’d been even a moment slower...
Donald’s hands became slick with sweat. All the mages around him had the same reaction.
As many as a thousand mages were feeling pressure from just one man.
“A dragon...?” someone mumbled.
A suffocating silence instantly descended on them.
Dragons — the most powerful creatures in existence. The sole and only experts of Class 9 magic, as well as the guardians of middle earth.
It was actually a fairly plausible scenario when Donald thought about it. No human being had had access to that kind of ancient magic for ages. If someone did have talent like that, rumors would have spread all over the continent by now.
‘No way, is he really—?’
Donald shook off the thought and swallowed hard.
A man with deep, oceanic blue hair strode through the stillness. The mages couldn’t even resist him; they could only helplessly retreat across the utterly, indisputably barren ground of the northern Great Plain with each step he took.
‘Even if it’s a dragon, we can’t let him through! The advanced team is already inside the Tower with two of the Seven Magicians. If he’s allowed through like this....’
Donald shook his head; he didn't even want to imagine what would happen.
Then Joshua opened his mouth.
“In the past, the present, and the future, mages are always the same.”
“...!”
“Even when you see it with your own eyes, you never want to believe anything that goes against your experience or knowledge. You always think with your head, putting aside your heart.”
“...”
“You do that even in situations where you should act as your heart tells you to—like now.”
“What are you saying...?” Donald blankly muttered.
“I’m saying that I’m still willing to let you flee.”
“...!” The mages of the Magic Tower boggled at him.
“Face reality. Break out of that small world that your preconceptions and your stereotypes have fenced you into.”
“...”
“If you can’t change your perception, then you can’t get what you desire.”
Babel paused for a moment before pressing on intently.
“Some strange rumors are circulating the capital as of late. They say that inside the Agnus Duchy, there is a royal Princess other than my mother, Vanessa ben Britten.”
Duke Agnus’ gaze became serious as he listened to Babel.
“It isn’t particularly credible, but as the only heir to the Agnus family, it wasn't something I could easily ignore.”
Babel emphasized the word ‘only’ as he continued to speak.
“I know it was a long time ago, but you must have heard it at least once, Sir. The younger sister of the reigning Emperor, Asiru ben Britten, disappeared twenty years ago.”
“...”
“She was ten years old when she disappeared, so she should be around thirty now...”
Babel's expression hardened as he trailed off.
“The nobles who live closer to the capital, including the two princes, are reacting sensitively to rumors.”
“What are you trying to say?” Duke Agnus asked.
“They are worried that the Princess is still alive and might’ve given birth to a child,” Babel answered without hesitation. “It would mean new competition for them.”
Babel paused to peek at Duke Agnus’s expression before resuming.
“The Imperial family has already been affected because of Joshua Sanders. So it’s obvious that people are particularly sensitive about rumors like this spreading.”
“...”
“And as long as the rumors are related to the Agnus family, I have no choice but to take it seriously. So as the heir to the family, I have taken some measures against it.”
Duke Agnus examined Babel, whose eyes were sparkling.
“So, what action did you take?”
“First of all, as soon as I heard the rumors, I searched through the households of our vassals, including the families themselves, for women in their thirties and older and investigated their backgrounds. As for the result, I didn’t find anything noteworthy. There is no way that the vassals, not the mention the Agnus Duchy who takes security seriously, would bring a woman of uncertain background into their family.”
It seemed like there was a hint of regret in Babel’s voice, so Duke Agnus thought the report was coming to an end.
“But then, I came across a rather surprising bit of information.”
“Surprising bit of information...?”
“It’s something reliable since this information came from the Imperial family, so you shouldn’t dismiss it.”
Babel looked Duke Agnus straight in the eyes.
“I wasn’t born at the time, so I didn’t know, but...”
“...”
“It’s said that Princess Asiru ben Britten has none of the characteristics of the Britten family. No golden hair, no golden eyes.”
“...”
“Instead, it seems like she had hair as blue as the depths of the sea and green eyes like emerald plucked straight out of the mine.”
Doubt began to show on Babel’s face.
“So why was it that after I heard that description, one woman came to mind? That’s why I came here today to ask the head of the family a question.” Babel’s golden eyes flashed. “About the woman who was once the Duke’s maid, who now, both in name and practice, is the second mistress of the Duchy.”
Babel's voice was the only noise heard inside the room.
“Where is Lady Lucia now?”
There was a slight noise. It seemed Duke Agnus was finally responding.
