1156  Flame Empress & Lightning Magus - Part 3

Zowen remained tight-lipped about her reward. She had been with Tang Shaoyang since the first Survival Game, and she knew how precious information the grimoire was. She did not want to tell the female attendant about the grimoire. Even though the female attendant had taken the oath, she still did not want the female attendant to know anything about the grimoire.

The female attendant had a strained smile. There was really nothing she could do to convince Zowen if the oath was not enough to convince the Lightning Magus.

[I called Sir Zaneos. He will take care of the rest.] Origin came in clutch. The Ai figured out that Zowen might tell Zaneos what she got in the trial.

A few minutes later, Zaneos arrived, wearing a TEIS uniform as he was on his shift. He came in a hurry when he received the message that Zowen did not want to share what she got from the Trial of Epic.

”You can leave. I will take over this case for Zowen,” The Demon Swordsman came over, asking for a file of Zowen. He sat opposite the Lightning Magus and furrowed his brow, ”Why donʼt you want to tell her about the reward? If you are afraid that she might leak your information, then thereʼs nothing to worry about. The people who work here have taken an oath, and we are watching them secretly too. Your information is safe with us.”

”Wait…” Zaneos realized that most of Zowenʼs information was in the file, but there was missing information at the end. It was the reward from the trial, ”What do you get for the reward?” He realized that Zowen did not want to tell the reward from the trial, not the other data, but specifically the reward. It might be because she received something special and unheard of before.

”Ah….” The Demon Swordsman retracted his words, ”Never mind. You donʼt have to share it if you donʼt want to.” There must be a reason why Zowen did not want to tell the worker, so he was not going to force her to speak, ”This should be enough for the data. It is fine if you donʼt want to tell us your reward.”

Zaneos put down the file and closed it, indicating the interview was over.

”I donʼt mind sharing it, but I donʼt want anyone else to know my reward aside from the people I trust. I donʼt trust that female worker, but I donʼt mind telling you with a condition that you will not record my reward in my profile,” Zowen was open to Zaneos. She trusted the demon, Rosalie, and Tang Shaoyang. She only trusted the three but no one else.

”Can I tell His Majesty as well? If you donʼt want him to know, then you might as well not tell me,” Zaneos was being honest that he would share the information with The Emperor. He made it known before the Lightning Magus divulged the secret.

”I donʼt mind. He is one of a few people I trust,” Zowen shook her head, then she told the demon what she got from the trial, ”I chose Artifact for my reward, and I got Grimoire of Lightning….” She explained to him what a grimoire was without telling him the contents of the Grimoire of Lighting.

”I see….” Zaneos held his chin, processing what just Zowen told him. It was indeed a big discovery since this was the first time he heard about the grimoire. He did not ask what contained the grimoire since she did not want to tell him, ”This is indeed important information. You are the first to receive a grimoire. Most of our Epic Rank took Bloodline as their first reward. But your luck is much better than Rosalieʼs. She just got a piece of equipment. It will be good for her to get Grimoire of Fire.”

Zowen did not pick up the last part, but the part where Rosalie just got a piece of equipment, ”Did she finish the trial faster than me?” She asked in a surprised tone. She thought she might beat Rosalie in clearing the trial, but she lost. Seven days and four hours, that was her time. A little bit longer than Tang Shaoyang who cleared the Bonus Wave as well. She thought it was already fast, but she did not expect Rosalie to beat her.

Zaneos smiled, ”Yeah, and she broke His Majestyʼs record with three days clearing record. I expected her to break the record, but I was not expecting for her to break the record by such a huge margin.” It was two times faster than her and Tang Shaoyang.

”Thr— three days!?” The Lightning Magus subconsciously raised her voice.

”I mean she has unlimited mana, doesnʼt forget about that. She can use her fire without worrying about her mana. I heard from her assigned worker that she turned the whole area into lava, and she just stood in the middle of that fire,” Zaneos shook his head as he felt the way Rosalie cleared the trial was ridiculous.

Zowen let out a sigh, admitting her defeat. She could not refute that, totally different from how she fought the wave. She conversed the mana, using the spell the most effective way at that so she did not have to wait to recover her mane for the following. After a few waves, she would take a break to recover her mana. That was what took her longer to finish the trial.

”Donʼt be jealous. If you tell her what you got, she would be jealous of you,” Zaneos could tell that the Lightning Magus was envious of Rosalieʼs unlimited mana. He understood that having unlimited mana was the dream of all magic users.

Zaneos stood up, ”Congratulations on your advancement. You must be exhausted and hungry fighting for seven days. Do you want to rest first or have a meal first?”

”Nope. I will not allow you to take the next trial until you have your sleep and rest. Even Rosalie took a break before entering the next trial.” The Demon Instructor did not allow the rejected, grabbed the magusʼ wrist, and dragged her with him.
