The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 245

The incident at Golden Scorch grew more intense by the day; the more the Rocke family tried to control it, the more fervently it was proclaimed outside until at last word reached Cobalt Strike.

"In the dead of night, a blinding light erupted from the city of Golden Scorch, and an ancient, mystical sword appeared in the sky. Its energy created a storm that pierced the heavens and earth."

"The sword's radiant power cast eighteen shadows across the city, like eighteen ancient statues, solemn and vast."

"The phenomenon began and ended in but a brief moment."

"The next morning, Lawren returned to Golden Scorch and commanded that no one speak of the night's strange events."

News upon news lay on the desks of the Cobalt Strike Commander and the Grand Elder. The appearance of magical treasures often came with strange occurrences, which was nothing out of the ordinary. A few treasures emerging in Golden Scorch was normal, but both the Commander and the Grand Elder were particularly sensitive to the eighteen ancient shadows.

It seemed to bear a resemblance to the Immortal Edge they knew of.

The Immortal Edge! Could it truly be?

Over eight years had passed since Alavin's parents vanished, and with them, the Immortal Edge had been lost for just as long.

How could it appear in Golden Scorch? And right after the Mallister family had been set free during such a peculiar time!

The Grand Elder stood atop a mountain, gazing toward Golden Scorch. A cold glint flickered deep within his eyes.

“Lanard! Was it truly you?”

After the caravan transporting Alavin's parents was plundered, the Grand Elder had once commissioned the four ancient cities to investigate jointly. One task was to search for Alavin's parents; the other was to determine if other powers had ambushed them. At the time, Golden Scorch had been most active in the investigation, leaving no stone unturned.

Now it seemed like the thief was crying, “catch the thief!”

"Grand Elder!" Two Elders approached the mountain's peak, bowing respectfully.

"Accompany me to Golden Scorch."
