Chapter 701: Private Meeting

Chad smiled brightly after he received the ring from Sir Roland. To be honest, he really liked to use other spells to create a better combination of techniques with his current set of spells.

At this time, he could only wield a few elemental spells thanks to his Dragon Blood, dark spells as a Dark Magician, and some Spirit Arts.

Unlike what everyone thought, he wasn't actually a Half-Human and a Half-Dragon anymore.

Because of his Ghost King Body, he could be considered a part of the Spirit race! He was considered a Half-Spirit before he even obtained the Dragon's Blood and Blessing.

However, after he managed to receive the blessings of the Dragons, his physique was no longer that of a human. There was no more human blood on him!

At present, he should be a Half-Spirit and a Half-Dragon!

'Should I ask Pearl for her Psychic Art? I really like that spell that can forcefully command other people.' Chad thought but he immediately thought of another idea.

'No, maybe Vale's lightning strike will do... Ahhh—But that's too powerful. The ring may not be strong enough to store it... Maybe I can ask him to save a Movement Technique instead? It would be great if I had something to help me escape any life-and-death situation.' Chad mused as he couldn't help but feel excited at the prospect of using three Arcane Spells from any Paths.

However, he was soon brought into the present as he realized that the representatives wanted to have a private meeting with him.

'Did I look so handsome after defeating those two... Hehe... Miya's voice sound angelic. I'm sure she's beautiful beneath that veil. She even wants to meet me in private... Is she going to confess?' Chad thought as he couldn't help but blush a little. He never had a girl express their feelings to him.

Unfortunately, Vale's voice from telepathy doused him from his excitement.

"Be careful... They'll want you for your bloodline." Vale said

"Ahh... Yes?" Chad replied, feeling a bit confused. It took him some time to realize what Vale was trying to tell him.

"Are they going to seduce me or something to take my seed?" Chad asked in surprise.

Vale couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.

Instead of answering, he simply assured him that they wouldn't be able to use force against him.

Soon, Chad and Miya met together in another room.

As soon as they were inside, Chad remained composed and waited for Miya to speak. He didn't trigger his Magic Zone as well since he was confident that Miya wouldn't hurt him.

"Wait a moment..." Miya said before she looked around the room.

Suddenly, Miya cast a spell that created a concealment barrier inside the room.

This prevented anyone from listening in on their conversation. However, Chad couldn't tell that.

"What is this spell? How does it work?" He asked curiously. Although he couldn't tell what barrier it was, he could tell that it wasn't meant to harm him.

Miya smiled at his calm reaction and replied.

"This is a concealment spell. After casting it in a small room, it blocks sound and sight from entering or leaving the room. It also prevents any magical detection or interference from outside. It is a useful spell for privacy and security. It is one of the exclusive of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets. It can be learned by any path."

Chad nodded in understanding.

"I see. It is a clever spell. I have never seen anything like it before..." Chad replied with a gentle nod.

If he used his Dragon's True Sight, he would certainly understand how it works but he didn't bother doing it.

"Yes, it is a great spell. But it is not the only secret I have... I have another secret that I want to share with you. And it might surprise you..."

Chad raised his eyebrows as he somehow felt excited. However, he decided to remain calm.

"I will be surprised? Tell me." With that said, Miya reached for her ring and removed the artifact that disguised her appearance. She also removed the veil blocking her face.

"This is my secret. This is an artifact that can change my appearance. It's one of the Church's Artifacts. They're really great in terms of creating Seals, Concealment, Stealth, and others..."

As Miya was speaking, Chad watched her appearance changed!

Her hair turned from black to blond, her eyes turned from green to blue, and her skin turned from tan to pale. Her features changed from exotic to familiar, from foreign to local, from Miya to Maya.

"Ahhh..." Chad was stunned.

She was Maya Featherstar!

She was his fellow student from Vermont Academy!

He didn't expect that his fellow student from Vermont Academy would stand in front of him.

He had many questions in mind. Why is she connected to the Lord of the Secrets now? Is the Featherstar Family aware of this? Does she know he was here and deliberately visited the castle for him?

Chad gasped and asked.

"Maya? Is that you? What are you doing here? What is going on?"

Maya wryly smiled after being asked.

"I escaped from my family. The Church of the Lord of the Secrets is the only place I could think of... Haaa~ It's a long story... Anyway, this isn't what I want to tell you. To be honest, our Church may need plenty of help since we are only great at concealment. Fighting isn't our strength... Once the Demon Saints arrived. We would be the first ones to be targeted, so all the concealments that the Church created would be undone... It would be great if we could become allies with Immortal... and of course, with the Half-Dragon."

Maya then paused for a moment to look at Chad's reaction before she continued.

"Ahem... you don't have to decide quickly. Can you tell me first how did you become a Half-Dragon?" She asked.

In the meantime, while Chad and Maya were chatting in the private room, Agent Axe finally arrived at the castle.

The presence of the Arcane Bureau officer shocked everyone in the reception hall!
