The veil of darkness had covered the surrounding, there was nothing but a empty abyss in all directions. The church and the nearby world were left behind and they were in a entirely new place.
"Did she teleport us here?"
But Silver still could see everything around him, every human and cloth. As, if they illuminating their own light. There was no mana in the air, like normal, it leaking of out of bodies, but the darkness Silver sat on and around was manaless.
"No, that we are here. What were you screaming at me about?" The lady dressed in her red wear, shining much like everything else, spoke the grunt's leader.
"What? How did you stop my power?" The scared man spoke in disbelief, unaware of his weakness.
"You think you can stop me from using mana with that no mana barrier? You might as well think, I cannot fight a bone bear , or griffin with my powers. Next you time you find more of Minerva, use it for something better."
"The mana blocking did not never work on her, because warlords don't use mana for their abilities."
"You..Aghhh! What? Why am I flying?" The grunt begin screaming and crying on the stop.
To Silver the observe, the men were screaming at the place they were standing in. If if they were flying a drama, saying things like " We are falling!" and "Why am I going up?" while staying upright.
"What is a happening?"
"You wanna see it yourself." The lady walked closer and closer to Silver, a daunting smile on her lips, and a confidence is her walking style. Silver stood up straight in his position, until she reached close to him.
"Hello. I doubt we have met before, my name Shaska Zana. Uro's higher warlord and a member of the council of ten. How do I have the pleasure of meeting of?" She offered the handshake.
Silver tried not to react while he shook her hand, she probably knew each and every fabric of his being.
"The name is Silver Ventirose. I am citizen of Uro, I come from the northern parts, near the mountains."
"Hmm...nice. You took quite a beating right there. I thought you might have been hurt, but you perfect."
"Because, I wanted to you to come out and meet me." Silver took the beating deliberately to lure out the lady who see it all.
"Although, it does hurt is some places of my body. The north giver you far tougher things can beating a bunch of grunts to do."
After his levelling up, the highest amount damage Silver received was the tiring of his shirt. The damage was only on the surface level.
"Could I ask what is happening to them? and by extension where are we?" Silver pointed at the screaming man, crying on their positions.
"Oh... You don't know about realms do you? The world around you is created by my technique. In this world, I can use special abilities that I otherwise can't."
"Just how much energy is that?!" To create a world of your own, that would require...
"Warlords are treated specially because of a reason, Mr. Silver. As for those people, they are infinitely falling off into the void."
"Falling? But they seem to standing right where they are."
"You don't want to know the technicality behind each thing, Mr. Silver. I have things to attend to, I think we will have a conversation some other time." Shaska began to walk away from Silver.
"Get these blokes to the nearby guards, and interrogate them about how did they get so much Minerva."
The darkness faded from all sides, as the veil of darkness began on fall. Silver could feel terror and annoyance in the strength, he couldn't appreciate the difference in power and skill.
「You have entered a no mana zone. Mana abilities cannot be used here.」
"I need to get out of this city and do some heavy cultivation if I want to stand any hope of Solving Mercy's problems."
The guards came soon after, and picked the grunts how were crying and puking on the ground. They the were actually falling while standing in a straight position somehow.
Silver was also moved to nearby guard cabins, where they took this statements and asked a few question about he got into this mess.... which took way longer than expected.
The lady that was responsible to each documenting each word said by the him on a paper involved in the case, was sitting against Silver on a wooden table and chair, which a gas lamp lighting the room.
"Can I go for today. The process is taking way to long, and I have a niece waiting at home for me."
The day had gone to evening, the questions starting from which shop he travelled to which grunt how punched with my most force. Each detail was being constantly compared with others, and written down.
"Sorry sir. But cases like are important, generally these get handled by royal castle, but for a while they pushed the work on us. This requires us to keep consistent information about what happened. Please answer, Where did the stab the knife of the leader?"
"I think it was the knee. It was a fast moment."
"Below the knee, or right above it and please mentioned the leg you stabbed too."
"The left leg, and the stab was mostly probably above the knee near the thigh.... Can't you get all of this information in the medical treatment of the man. I think I am kind of feeling harassed right now."
A quick angry side eye shut off all the harassment allegations from Silver. "She knows that she protected my someone stronger."
" I will get this checked. Please stay at your seat, and order some food and water from the outside."
Soon she came back is questioning continued for a long while, "They have a women who can see everything she wishes. Then why do they write everything down?"
"Can I ask a question for myself?"
"Yes. You can. Try to make it simple and easy."
There was no pleasantries now, both sides seem to frustrated in their positions. Silver placed his hands on the table and leaned closer.
"What sort of crimes sent you directly to the warlord for interrogation?" He tapped his finger on the table with his question. The lady bore a smile, removed her glasses and began readjusting her hair.
"All of them. Each and every crime reported in the city, is dictated and decided by the castle administration. It was just 1 month before that the city suddenly needed people like me, that could write fast and neat. Otherwise, the city was had no proper use of the guards, other them delivering criminals."
"How did they manage all this crime? The city is quite vast for scale, did all the crime get resorted so fast?" Even the lady cannot see everything, what happened to the city in midnight?
"That is the point. There was near zero crime in this city, most incidents that happened were managed by the royal guard, so found near every crime in the city. They do it quite fast too."
"I see..."
There were definitely more of them in the city, the ones who could see everything that happened, both during day and night.
"Can we continue the questioning now?"
"Yes, we can."
