Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe - Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Memories
Despite seeing his wife return to normal, Kenley couldn’t help but ask in frustration, “My lord, you… why would you do that?!”

Even though Adam was his direct superior, there were some things that he had to stand up for. He would never idly watch by as someone tried to harm his wife.

“Just hold on a moment.” Adam ignored him and took out a needle from his earring.

Then he pricked a nerve on Rayna’s arm and took out a few drops of blood. This caused everyone to be dumbfounded.

Not only was Adam forcing the woman to drink unknown potions, but now he was even extracting blood from her.

To say that they were shocked would be an understatement. Even Adam’s students couldn’t believe what he was doing.

Rayna yelped as she saw blood dripping from her hand. But the next moment, Adam applied a medicinal paste on the wound, effectively stopping the blood flow and healing her wound.

Everything had happened so fast that Kenley didn’t know how to react. He glared at Adam with suppressed anger and spat through gritted teeth, “Magus Constantine, what’s the meaning of this?!”

He now no longer cared whether the youth was his superior, or whether he was stronger than him. Kenley felt that Adam had crossed a line.

Adam calmly gazed at Kenley, understanding why he was reacting in such a manner. He sighed and waved a simple one-hand gesture. “See for yourself,” he said.

Rank 1 Spell: Memory Strand!

The following moment, five white strings that shone with an ethereal light emerged from Adam’s forehead. Then, with a wave of his hand, they shot toward Kenly, Ragnar, and his students’ direction.

They knew what this spell was, so they didn’t try to resist it. They closed their eyes as the ethereal white strings burrowed inside their mind.

Adam had just shared with them his memory of the experiments that he had carried out in the Brotherhood’s safehouse deep within the Greyscale Mountains.

Furthermore, he also shared the memories of him trying to concoct the antidote while he was in this very room.

He felt this would be much more effective than explaining it to them.

Everyone had received his memory strand except Rayna. Adam deemed that it would be unwise to share such information with her. He feared that she would have a mental breakdown.

While everyone—except Rayna—was going through Adam’s memories, he walked toward the wooden table that was still cluttered with all sorts of alchemical tools.

Then, he placed the few drops of blood that he had just extracted from the woman onto a small crystal plate. Following that, he weaved a series of hand gestures, causing a brilliant magic circle to light up underneath the plate.

Adam then focused his Sphere of Resonance and intently observed the properties of Rayna’s blood.

After about a minute or so, he finally confirmed that the toxins inside the woman’s blood had been effectively dealt with!

The youth’s lips curled up into a smile. “Perfect.”

Right at that moment, everyone else had finished reading through Adam’s memories. When they opened their eyes again, they were filled with shock and absolute terror.

“I-Impossible!” Art blurted out in disbelief, his gaze involuntarily shifting toward Rayna.

Not just him, but everyone else was also looking at her in fear and apprehension.

Seeing everyone suddenly behave in such a manner, Rayna couldn’t help but nervously retreat a step back. “W-What is happening—”

But before she could even finish what she was about to say, Kenley stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

She glanced at her husband and noticed that he was silently sobbing as he hugged her. She couldn’t help but get flustered, “Kenny… w-what is happening? Why are you crying?”

Kenley separated from her and then warmly placed his hands on her shoulder, looking at her with deep emotions, “Rayna, you—”

“Shhh.” Adam interrupted him.

Kenley turned around and saw that Adam was calmly looking at him with a smile, his index finger placed on his lips.

“Now is not the time,” said Adam.

Kenly involuntarily gulped before nodding his head. He then asked with hope flashing in his eyes, “My lord, that… that potion… did it work?”

“Hmph!” Adam harrumphed arrogantly. “Of course it did! Who do you think I am?”

“Thank you…” Kenley teared up and sincerely bowed.

While all this was happening, Rayna couldn’t help but ask meekly, “Umm, excuse me, but can someone tell me what’s happening?”

“Rest assured,” Kenly said to her. “All is well now. I’ll tell you everything after I return from the dark woods.”

Rayna trusted her husband. Her lips quivered and she nodded with teary eyes. “Mm!”

“Professor…” Eleiney suddenly called out while glancing at the wooden barrels. “Will this save everyone in town?”

“Everyone?” Adam smiled wistfully. “I can only try…”

“But how are we going to do it? We don’t have much time,” said Aiden. “If we go missing now, I’m sure Magus Darkmore and the other Magi would surely notice it.”

Adam smirked and pointed at the figure peacefully sleeping on his bed. “That’s where he comes in.”

Everyone simultaneously turned thier heads and gazed at Valerian who was sleeping with his tummy facing up.

The scene of the cat sleeping like a human came across as very unreliable to them, considering the fact that what Valerian was about to do could be deemed extremely important.

Adam walked toward his bed and started tickling the young dragon’s stomach. “Get up, Val.”

Valerian woke up giggling. But then his expression darkened and he asked in a grumpy manner, “What is it, brother? Why must you always interrupt my dreaming?”

“Dream later, you lazy bum!” Adam reprimanded before tying a leather belt around the little guy’s neck. A storage ring was hanging from this belt.

“Myu!” Valerian hissed. “What’re you doing? Do you think I’m a dog? I don’t need a belt!”

“Val,” Adam began with a solemn expression. “While all of us head to the Weeping Woods, I need you to take these barrels and pour their content’s into the town’s water supply. Understood?”

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Valerian became serious as well. “You want me to drop these in the wells?”

“Yes.” Adam nodded. “Drop a barrel in each of the five wells located throughout the town. Do it only after all the mercenaries and Magi have left, okay?”

“Myu! Leave it to me!” Valerian clenched his paws.

Adam smiled warmly as he rubbed the little guy’s furry head. Then, he looked at the rest of the people and nodded.

“Alright, it is time.”
