Ebony started to move to investigate, she and some of her subordinates came to the diamond order class. The students looked at her in surprise, because almost never Ebony come to their class.
Her subordinates started checking the students one by one, Ebony was monitoring from above. Her subordinate shook his head at Ebony. She sighed, of course not, they are from the diamond order and there are still children, how can they do that.
Ebony came out of the classroom, she immediately moved towards the village, she changed her strategy, they split up, because the residents were more alert than the students, the slightest mistake would cause misunderstandings.
Ebony walked alone, some people greeted her, some people looked at her in surprise, because it was very rare for a high official to walk into the village alone, especially since it was Ebony.
She checked several residents' houses but none of them had any evil aura, she ran to her subordinates several times, they also shook their heads saying that they did not find any evil aura here.
Whispers began to be heard from the residents, even though Ebony told his subordinates to split up, but over time the residents felt strange. Ebony sighed, she couldn't linger here, she was afraid it would cause a misunderstanding.
Ebony told his subordinates to leave, she himself left but his gaze stopped at a small hut at the end of the village. Her feet stepped there, she knocked on the door, no answer. The hut was quiet.
"Whose hut is this?" Ebony asked the residents.
"The hut belongs to Lokey," replied the resident with a shaky voice, he was a little afraid of Ebony, especially when the news circulated that Ebony was a scary person.
Ebony felt uncomfortable with the stares of the citizens but she ignored them because she had to find the person Irene was referring to.
"Where is he, is the hut empty?"
"He rarely comes home because he lives alone, he likes hunting in Ashoka's forest,"
Ebony nodded her head, she left immediately after getting an answer because she didn't feel strange about the hut.
Ebony heaved a sigh of relief, she didn't get anything out of the ordinary with the diamond setting and rightfully so. Irene must have seen it wrong, she was sure.
On the one hand, Tuscany went to a village of the topaz order, he disguised himself as an ordinary citizen, she wanted to investigate the perpetrators of Nesa's attack alone because she didn't want to make a fuss.
She walked through the village, nothing strange. Seeing the citizens doing their usual activities, she sighed. How did she find the culprit out of so many people and whether he must have returned home? Various possibilities flashed through her head, but she continued her journey hoping to find something.
Tuscany remembered Selly's words that the culprit was short, her eyes stared intently at the short person, but then she sighed again, there are many short people in this village.
She also couldn't use her mind reading ability here because her ability couldn't be used on other people. When she looked around her eyes, her gaze stopped at a woman who was watering the plants in her yard. For some reason her face felt familiar, she walked over to the woman.
"Poley, is that you?"
The woman in front of her stopped what she was doing, she turned her head. Her face was surprised to see Tuscany.
"That's right you,"
Tuscany screamed with joy, she immediately hugged the woman in front of her. Poley was her friend and ever since she became a higher-up she never saw him again.
"How are you?"
"W-well," Poley stammered, she didn't expect to meet Tuscany here. But she quickly tried to look normal.
"As you can see, Remela," said Poley with a laugh. She calls Tuscany by his real name.
Tuscany laughed at Poley calling her by his real name, it had been a long time since anyone had called her by that name.
"But what are you doing here? And what about your clothes?" Polly asked confused.
"I'm investigating something,"
Poley's face changed when she heard Remela's answer, "You are investigating the topaz order you mean?"
"Yeah it's a long story and sorry I can't tell you, you know what I mean right?" Remela replied, she felt bad.
Poley nodded her head, she actually had some doubts. For some reason she felt that Remela's investigation had something to do with her husband.
"May I come in, I'm thirsty?" Remela asked.
"Of course,"
Poley invited Remela in, she told Remela to sit and wait for her to make a drink in the kitchen. But she goes to her husband's room, she injects poison into her husband who is cowering in fear.
Hevan's eyes bulged as Poley injected the poison. He wanted to scream but his lips started to feel stiff.
"Wait a minute, this poison is only temporary," Poley whispered.
She left Hevan who started convulsing and soon passed out. She returned to the living room with the drink she had poisoned, but unlike Hevan's, the poison only gave a headache.
"I haven't had your juice in a long time," said Remela happily, she remembered when they were young, she drank Poley juice almost every day.
"Drink, it still tastes the same as before," said Poley smiling.
Remela immediately drank it in one gulp, Poley smiled slyly hearing that. They chatted about the past, but soon Remela held her head.
"What happened to you?" asked Poley anxiously.
"I don't know, my head feels heavy," Remela said with a grimace, the pain getting worse.
"Maybe you're tired, you haven't been out of the castle for a long time, haven't you?" said Polly.
Remela didn't answer, her head felt heavy. She looked at Poley who was looking at her worriedly.
"You'd better go home Remela,"
Poley's voice sounded faint in her ears. Poley helped her up, she staggered.
"Looks like you can't go home alone," said Poley anxiously.
"But sorry I can't take you, I have work I can't leave."
Remela was still wincing in pain. She only vaguely heard what Poley said. She saw Poley calling out to someone, a woman in shabby clothes.
"Take her to town,"
The woman rolled her eyes, she knew that in front of her was Tuscany, the leader of the topaz order. She looked at Polly.
"Just carry out my orders quickly."
The woman nodded quickly, she supported Remela and walked out of the house. Remela looked at Poley who waved her hand at her. Her vision began to blur, her head felt very heavy. She looked at the woman supporting her, she didn't know her. She wanted to speak but her strength felt drained.
"I'm sorry Tuscany," the woman said in her heart. She actually knew what was going on. She knew that his master was not a good person but he did not expect that his master would do that to a higher-up.
She sat Tuscany in a building not far from the castle, she took a bottle from her pocket, it was the antidote. She immediately drank to Tuscany. Tuscany slowly regained consciousness, the headache slowly disappeared.
"Who are you?" Tuscany looked at the woman in front of her.
"I'm Jivi, Mrs Poley's maid,"
"Where's Poley?" asked Tuscany confused, she didn't know why Poley didn't carry her.
"Madam has a busy schedule that can't be left behind, so she asked me to take you Tuscany," Jivi said shakily.
"Thanks for helping me," Tuscany smiled.
"Then I say goodbye, your condition is getting better."
Jivi bowed her head respectfully, she turned towards her master's house, although in her heart he was very sorry that he couldn't do anything about her master's actions.

"I think I know when Nesa's power comes out," said Olaf looking at Nesa who was still unconscious.
"Her power comes out when she's pressed, is that what you think?" Ivory asked.
"True, but she can't control her ppowers yet, she's always unconscious after using her powers,"
"But what I still think about is why the wand used to glow green," said Olaf confusedly.
Ivory was silent, various possibilities running through his head but he wasn't sure which one was the right one.
"From now on, train her to be able to control her strength, especially the power of onyx," said Ivory.
Olaf nodded his head, he didn't expect Nesa to have onyx powers but if you think about it, Nesa's arrival was already mysterious.
Ivorny looked at Nesa's body, he knew there was something special about this child. He had a feeling that Nesa's arrival would have a big impact in the future. At first he didn't think much of it but after many events, his thoughts came back to haunt him.
He also sensed a different aura from this child, an aura that none of the magicians in this world had. He knew that Nesa was human but the aura of a human was also not like Nesa's because he had visited Earth.
Ivory sighed, many unsolved problems, fire, Shamrock attack to Nesa attack, he felt something big was about to happen. He hoped what he was thinking didn't happen, he hoped the Lagoon would come with good news.

"Why are you gloomy Rex?" asked Cloe.
Cloe shook his head in confusion, ever since Rex woke up from his stupor after fighting the higher up Shamrock his face wasn't friendly at all, Rex didn't answer his question either.
Rex stood up, he walked quickly with a serious face.
"Rex where are you going?" Cloe shouted but there was no answer from Rex.
His hand reached out to reach Rex's shoulder, he knew Rex was a cold person but he was never silent like this. The plant slashed Cloe's hand, his hand was bleeding, he looked at Rex who continued to walk despite grimacing and cursing at Rex. Cloe gave up, she didn't know what happened to Rex.
Rex POV on
My defeat against Shamrock makes me angry, if I fight Shamrock alone can't how can I fight the enemy.
"I have to protect Nesa,"
I heard Nesa was attacked again while being treated, my anger immediately peaked when I heard it but I heard they didn't know who did it. I intend to find out who the culprit is myself but before that I have to practice my skills first.
I headed for the forest in my village, the forest here is the most lush forest because it corresponds to the people, the emerald order. I started to concentrate, I mumbled a spell, the plants started sticking out in the direction of my hand I mumbled something, the snaking plants let out poisonous thorns. I direct the plant to the water, the thorns of the plant begin to fall off. The water slowly turned black, I changed the spell, I raised my hand, the water rose high.
I waved my hand, the water turning into small balls towards the grass. The grass starts to burn, I change my spell, the fire from the grass slowly grows. I control the fire so it doesn't spread to other plants. I whistled, the wind started to come and slowly became strong and soon merged with the fire and created a firestorm.
I bend my arm, the firestorm rapidly devouring anything in its path. I raised my hand, fire blazed in the sky.
"AAAAAAAAA"
Someone screamed in fear seeing the sky turning red. I saw a man cowering in fear, I immediately stopped my strength.
"You're okay? Sorry I was practicing," I said feeling guilty.
"Sorry, I'm sorry," the man's face was pale, his eyes empty.
"Uncle is not wrong, I..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry,"
The man repeated his words over and over, his body trembled, his eyes looked around as if he was afraid of something.
"Uncle why?" I said, but there was absolutely no answer from him.
"Calm!" I screamed, I gripped his shoulder.
The man looked at me but his body was still shaking, he looked really scared.
"I'm going to die," he said.
"Why did you have to die?"
I was confused by his words. There was the sound of footsteps, the man immediately went back into a rage, he ran fast into the forest without me having time to stop him.
Residents come out of the forest, owner of the footsteps I just heard. I'm still confused looking at the man as if he had done something bad.
"But which order is he from?"
I just realized that he was not wearing a robe, only wearing black and not carrying a cane. I finally shook my head unconcerned, my priority now was to train my strength.
