Chapter 157: Realistic Painter

"The thing is, do you know anything about the origin of this scythe?" said Kai as he took out the scythe.

He also knows that this thing is one of the ten world items Daoma had told him about. Which were in the possession of ten peak Magic Emperors.

Death looked at the scythe, picked it up, and observed it with his keen eyes.

As soon as he touched it, marks on the scythe started to glow faintly.

[This scythe can break the bad karma and purify the soul of the users and on those, it is used on. It was probably due to this reason that Morrigan's soul had never been affected by bad karma even after committing so many crimes. You can't currently use it, one must be a divine stage being to use it on another. In the meantime, it can only act as a good luck charm]

Saying that he returned it to Kai.

Kai looked at the scythe and kept it away in his ring.

'For now, it's just a useless stick which keeps bad luck away from me, I don't need it. From the day I have been born I am very lucky. Now, about the matter which Jai had told me about. I think death is a perfect candidate for that job'

"Death, I would like you to take the role of anti-corruption and the chief judge of the new supreme court of Buraford Kingdom. What do you think?"

Death looked at Kai's eyes and thought for a moment and nodded.

'As I am going to stay in the materialistic world for some time. I don't mind helping him, in a way we are one. So basically I am helping myself'

Kai was delighted.

"Ok, so let's decide the name. We can't just call you Death all the time just because you represent darkness and the law of death. So I have thought of a name"

"Arya"

"What do you think? The name meaning is a noble and truthful person with good character"

[It's a good name. I will take it]

"Oke, I will summon you again after we reach the Buraford Kingdom'' saying that Kai canceled the summon and dark magic origin returned inside of him.

[9:30 am, Front of Fastasia Hotel]

Rows of carriages were standing near the entrance. It was time for everyone to leave for their respective empire. Louie and Joseph were waiting outside and came back just to say goodbye to Kade.

Kade gave them a big hug and smiled.

"It was good to meet you as a senior after so many years. But, now it's time to say goodbye. Take care of yourself"

"You too" replied Louie and Joseph in union and three of them laughed out.

Miss Jennifer was also saying goodbye to Lizel and Duke Grawn.

"Dear, take care of yourself. I will come back during the summer festival after taking care of my duties" they hugged and rubbed their heads against each other, then she looked at Duke Grawn with sharp eyes" And you, take care of the Dukedom and stop roaming around the continent. Just because you are a merchant, you can't forget your duty as a Duke"

"Why are you still going on about that. I have already told you that I went to the Buraford Kingdom to escort an important person sent by her majesty. If you don't believe, you can just go and ask her majesty" said Duke Grawn with an exhausted expression.

"Whatever, take care of Lizel for me and tell Tyron to get ready for the wedding ceremony. He is a capable person"

Hearing that Lizel blushed.

'So, Mother already knew about my secret relationship with him'

Hearing that Duke Grawn was surprised and looked at Tyron with killing eyes.

'Just when did he capture my daughter's heart without me knowing. It seems I need to have a man to man talk with him'

Kai, who was listening to all of their conversations, smiled.

'Grawn family is so loud. But it looks like we are going to have a wedding party soon. It seems like Duke Grawn is going to travel with us for the rest of the journey. The retuning trip is going to be fun'

Mefisto was also talking with Esabella.

"I never had thought that you would one day leave the Chaos Empire and give up the title of a Duke so easily. You must know how many want to become Duke in the Chaos Empire. You're probably the first one who is giving it up willingly" said Mefisto as a faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at the young man standing beside her.

"But I still wish you good luck, may you find happiness in the Buraford Kingdom!"

"Professor, you are talking as if we are never going to meet again. You are still young, you know? Also, you must have already heard that the seal of the continent is now removed. Who knows maybe you can also become a magic Commander stage expert in the future and extend your lifespan"

Hearing that Mefisto smiled "Let's hope so Miss Esabella" and looked at Jai who was standing beside her.

"Mister Jai, please take care of Miss Esabella. She is a wonderful and a kind woman"

Jai nodded and shook hands with Mefisto.

Elder Asava was also busy signing autographs for his fans from both imperial academies.

Kai looked at the Elder surrounded by the group of female students and his troubled face trying to tell them that he is not Arbus.

"Grandmaster Arbus, Please sign my book."

"No sir, please sign my book"

"Wait wait stand in the line. I will do it one by one. Let me get some fresh air"

"It's quite astonishing that Arbus being such a cruel person has so many fans," said Kai

"It's because of his romantic and horror genre light novel which is also the best selling book. I have heard that last year more than ten million copies were sold" said Dilo

Hearing that Kai was amused and astonished.

'Are you joking with me? Arbus used to write books? The horror genre is understandable but a romantic story. No matter how I think about it, it's just impossible. Maybe, he is just publishing in his name while the original writer is someone else'

Thought Kai and looked at Dilo who was standing beside him. Not only Dilo, but the entire magic-user group of Chronos Magic Academy is standing beside him with Alina and Morrigan side by side.

"What are you guys all doing here?"

"About that, Kai..."

Both Tasha and Palma were troubled.

'How should we tell him that we want to join the Royal Mage Unit of Buraford Kingdom?'

As citizens of Buraford Kingdom and being from a military background. They have some knowledge about the royal guard and a royal mage unit. It is a unit that works directly under the king. But considering how Kai has powerful experts like Jai under him they hesitated.

"Kai, we want to join the Royal Mage Unit"

Hearing that, Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at them with a thin smile

"If you want to become part of it, you must be prepared for the toughest training under the guidance of Jai. You can talk to him about it, later inside the train"

Hearing that they were delighted and bowed

"Thank you, Kai"

Kai nodded and looked at Klaus and Dilo.

Klaus has already attained the Magic Knight stage with others.

'It seems, he had just broken through the barrier between stages this morning'

"How about you, Klaus? Are you planning to return to your territory and help your father with his daily work?" asked Kai.

Hearing Kai's question, Klaus handed him a letter.

Seeing the letter everyone was curious.

Getting his hand on the letter, Kai opened it and started reading.

After some time he handed it back to Klaus.

"What do you want to do? After the Alfrine Kingdom combinations with the Buraford Kingdom? Do you want to go against the decision of the royal family and rebel against them?"

Hearing that, everyone was astonished. They had no idea that the Alfrine Kingdom was going to become part of the Buraford Kingdom.

'Kingdom unification plan. Behemoon and granduncle already discussed it. After the two kingdoms merge, Alfrine Kingdom will become a province under the Buraford Kingdom and will follow new laws and administration structure and will enjoy all the benefits enjoyed by citizens of Buraford Kingdom. It seems that granduncle was able to convince great grandfather and the nobles'

Hearing that Klaus shook his head.

"I have already received this letter before I took part in the mission and had been observing you. I want to serve under you. Please, give me the post of the Royal Painter"

"Royal painter?"

"Yes, I have heard that in the Buraford Kingdom, the Royal Painter post has been empty for two centuries. I would like to have it"

Getting such a weird request, Kai was caught off guard. He knew after observing Klaus that he had a passion for panting but didn't know it was so much. The post of the Royal Painter doesn't have much power in the royal court, still, it's a respectable position and if a magic-user with a talent like Klaus wants such a position, anyone will find it suspicious and unbelievable.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," said Klaus with determination.

"Then it's settled."

At that moment Kai didn't know that the person standing before him would be the Pioneer of the new kind of magic. Who will change the world with his paintings.

While Kai and Klaus were talking with others.

Kade called out to them. It was finally time for them to depart from the Blackmere city.

One by one, they got into their carriage and started going towards the railway station.
