Chapter 341 The Black Tower

"I have ten left, although I don't think any of them can handle your consciousness." Eva replied, but she seemed to be deep in thought, "But, if I can merge them… yes, it will take seventy percent of the Aether I have in storage, it should be enough to make one condensed Tome."

Rowan was still reviewing the information inside his head, and he distractedly asked, "How long will that take you to make?"

"Not long, but what would be the purpose of inhabiting a Tome? You would hardly make any significant changes in such a forum, it has great utility, but surely, it's not the best to use."

"Inhabiting the Tome is just the first part of the plan." Rowan began moving towards the door while speaking, "The important lesson that Jarkarr taught me was the benefits of having many hidden cards. I will not win the coming fight with my father if I don't think outside the box and keep making decisions that my enemies cannot anticipate." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

"Is that the reason you did not kill her?" Eva muttered softly, "The being who claims to be your mother."

Rowan turned to her before he answered, a weird glow in his eyes, "Partly. Notwithstanding that it is a dreadful action to commit, I refuse to believe my father does not have any other failsafe to protect the life of his most valuable possession. Killing her might lead to changes even Elura could not predict, after all, even though she is an Empyrean, she is not infallible. He tried to stop me with words Eva, he is far too powerful to only allow his last option to be words, somehow I think killing her would have played right into his hands."

Eva considered his words and nodded her assent, if she had a conflicting viewpoint, she did not show it, "After inhabiting the Tome, what is your next move?"

"It would be a big one, and I will depend on your spell weaving if I will have any chance to succeed. I used to have a solid stake as a Demon Prince using the Origin Treasure of Ohrox, but as the various situations around the Empire is unfolding, it is clear that this stake was not planted on a solid foundation, and a little breeze would put this position in jeopardy." Rowan said, "I will be trying to repair the bridge that may have sprung up due to my absence, but before that, I will be trying to build another foundation on another Supreme World, and this time, I will be building a better one."

Eva's breath caught in her throat, "you want to possess a mage!"

"Not a mage." Rowan smiled, "a mortal with the talent of a mage. I told you, I would build a better foundation. To achieve that, my background must be perfect. For if I'm going to become the greatest genius the Mages have ever seen, then my roots must be impeccable. During my time in Covenant, I overheard a discussion between the members speaking of a yearly selection for the Black Tower. This is one of the primary branches linked to the Supreme World. Talented Mortals from all over the universe would be fighting for the chance to become an acolyte. That would be my place to start."

" You intend to create a powerhouse that can be a part of the Black Tower."

"Not just be a part, I want to influence it, my goal is ownership of the Black Tower. This is what…"

Suddenly Rowan stopped and looked towards the distance, he could not help but exclaim in surprise, "what the hell is that?

"Oh, you noticed. They had been following us all the way from Jarkarr. Apparently, it is not every day the remnants of a Divine Kingdom move through the void. More join every now and then, they number fifteen at this moment."
