The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1279

After walking for a bit, both of them arrived at the private room in question. Stepping inside, both of them saw Master Nacol sitting cross-legged and with his eyes closed next to an incense burner, seemingly meditating.

Upon hearing Gerald and Jace’s footsteps, Master Nacol opened his eyes before greeting, “Here you are, Mr. Crawford!”

Wasting no time, Gerald simply replied the greeting before getting straight to business. Jace himself had already given Master Nacol a quick rundown on what Gerald was here for today. From what Master Nacol understood, Gerald intended to find out where the Ancient City was.

Master Nacol was willing to grant an audience to Gerald since not only had Gerald made a massive donation for his conference this time around, but he had also heard—from Jace—that Gerald had saved the lives of all those babies! With that in mind, Master Nacol honestly had great respect for Gerald.

“It’s true that I know where the Ancient City is. In fact, I once went there with a teacher of mine who—quite unfortunately—is no longer here. Still, my experience there back then has been embedded deeply in my mind till this very day!” said Master Nacol as he took a small sip of tea. His expression—as he reminisced—suggested that the memory was a thrilling one.

Following that, he then looked at Gerald with a smile before asking, “I wonder if you’d be interested in listening to my story, Mr. Crawford?”

“By all means, please share your tale, Master Nacol!” replied Gerald with a nod.

Hearing that, Master Nacol then began telling a tale that took place some forty years ago…

At the time, Nacol had been in his twenties when he followed his teacher—Master Barron Xilts—over to Ancient City after receiving an invitation from a mysterious family to help enlighten an old benefactor who had heavy thoughts weighing on his mind.

Ancient City itself was a small city that was located within a mystifying mountain, and those who lived in it had been isolated from the world for so many generations that no one ever dared to go there to cause any trouble. After existing for thousands of years, it was a city filled with endless secrets and mysteries.

Even from ancient times, very few people even knew about the city, and fewer yet were those who were able to communicate with those living within it. Master Nacol’s master was one of the few lucky enough to know about it.

Regardless, upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, both of them came across a young man who was about to kill ten young men and women!

They later found out that the cruel man had been persistently trying to force the Gunters to come out and show themselves, no matter how vicious he had to get. In fact, by that point, he had already murdered several people from the nearby villages since the Gunters kept refusing to see him. From that fact alone, it was obvious that he was also very good at scheming.
