Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 91

To the Port City, Urona! Part-4.
“Well, I am not really worried about his strength or the powers he may have; what I am concerned about is that Nathan knows too much…”

“He may spill every secret to the ‘False Dome’ cult….”

As a grade 1 mage, Nathan obviously had a massive detection range, and he also had a massive information gathering network.

He knows many secrets about the empire’s army and weapons. He knows about the ‘Seals of the False Dome’ and he knows about many other forbidden things.

This knowledge may not be of much use to the humankind, it is certainly worth the attention of the ‘False Dome’ cult.

Thomas clenched his fist and asked Jareth in a solemn voice.

“If he gets corrupted, what shall we do then?”

Jareth’s answer to the question was very simple.

“What else… We will destroy him right then and there…”

Jareth’s words carried the same coldness as usual; he was ready to deal with a time bomb like Nathan whenever the opportunity arose.

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t do anything to that Death Cage, he would have already buried Nathan ten feet under the ground.

‘In this life, I am destined to be an eternal enemy with that demon god… If I don’t want my soul to get tormented after death, I must deal with that demon first…’

…

Time passed, and the plane finally landed after a long flight of 15 hours.

When all of them got down from the plane, a fresh breeze welcomed them to the port city of Urona.

Thomas glanced at the distant sea and spoke to the students.

“So, here we are, everyone; this is the port city of Urona! This is the land that was once owned by the mermaid race… The human armies conquered this place five hundred years ago…”

“According to the history books, it was once the capital of the great mermaid empire, and a floating castle used to exist on the sea shore…”

Although the mermaid-style architecture doesn’t exist here anymore, and the floating castle is also long gone, this place is still breathtakingly beautiful.

There is a green and lush mountain range in the west direction, and there is a beach and the sea in the east direction.

This place is a wonderful tourist spot.

You can do paragliding, sea sports, mountain climbing, and many other things in this place.

Moreover, a small navy base is located on an island a few kilometers away from the seashore, ensuring that no sea monsters can reach this location because the military will deal with them before they arrive.

This place is so peaceful that there hasn’t been a single major incident in the past 50 years or so.

There are no issues with pollution or extreme climate conditions, and there is an abundance of resources and opportunities. Excellent facilities and strict city management.

Everything in this place is in such perfect sync that millions of tourists come here every year, and yet it doesn’t get crowded at all.

This is the type of place where you would want to settle down after your retirement.

…

Mark glanced at Thomas and inquired in a tone of confusion.

“So, what happened to the mermaids then?”

Thomas just shook his head at that question and said,

“What do you think will happen to a race when you slaughter them mercilessly and destroy their homes? Of course they will flee to some other places desperately…”

The battles between races have always been like this: the winner destroys the other party and massacres the weaker ones to no end.

Thomas placed his hand on Mark’s shoulder and said,

“Human greed knows no bounds; we wanted a safe port for ourselves so that we could make trade to other human cities easier, and that reason was enough to conquer this place…”

The struggle between races is a race of survival; either you seize the resources and destroy the other party, or you will be the one who gets destroyed in the future.

To develop towards a brighter future, to get more sea resources, and to make trade and other things easier, humans of that time went to war against the mermaids and emerged victorious.

That victory contributed to the fact that humans today have access to so many sea resources produced in this place.

If they had never seized the resources here, the prices of sea food would have been very expensive today.

“Well, it’s not that we are being unreasonable; it’s just the way of the world…”

Thomas patted Mark’s shoulder and then moved onward. He didn’t want the students to dwell on this topic too long, as it was pointless.

They can’t change the past, so there was no point in thinking about it too much.

While others started to walk, Jareth glanced at the ground under his feet, and a strange expression flashed through his eyes before he left.

‘It was likely not a simple war… The ground here is filled with bones and remains of the mermaid race… This place looks beautiful from above but is just as dark from below…’

Jareth has completed numerous quests in this location within the game, and he is aware of the heinous and horrific events that have transpired here.

However, he is reluctant to publicly discuss them due to their profoundly disturbing nature.

‘My detection range has improved; I can sense ‘that’ thing from so far below in the ground now…’

The improvement in mana purity enhanced Jareth’s overall capabilities by a lot, and now his passive mana detection range is already bigger than a normal grade-1 mage, so he can sense what’s going on beneath the ground.

‘Urk… I originally wanted to enjoy some scenery, but now that I am here, I feel like going back already…’

As they say, ignorance is bliss; when you know too much, you can’t feel happy at all.

Jareth shook his head and stopped thinking about all this, and he followed the group towards the hotel at which they would be staying.

After this long journey, it was time to relax a bit and eat some good food to ease the mood.

‘I will deal with ‘that’ thing too when I am here… It should earn me some ‘credit points’ at least…’
