Chapter 603 The D\'jaggarians
Ribbit, ribbit~

All sorts of nightly music played out, only making the atmosphere grow worse. It was too heavy. The fog lay thick and heavy over the D\'jaggarian landscape, a spectral shroud that clung to the ancient stones of Bran Castle.
Yes, the D\'Jaggers called their castle, the House of D\'jaggarian. Well, there it was. According to eyewitnesses, the D\'Jaggers were all out on a long vacation. They even have images from the airport of them boarding flights and leaving the country to visit their home country, Eldaro. They sealed their doors, nig even wanting maids to clean up during their absence. The staff were given vacation time with pay, except for the gardeners who were to come every 2 or 3 days during the daytime, to take care of the gardens. However, they must leave at exactly 5 on the dot, as they were informed that anyone who works there after 5 will get reported for trespassing. From 9~5. Those were the only times they were allowed to work during their absence. …
~Din-Din-Din-Din…
One step forward, another step forward. As everyone approached, the mist seemed to pulse with a life of its own, swirling around their feet and obscuring the path ahead. It was as if the fog itself was a guardian of the secrets hidden within the castle\'s walls.
Several police officers knew it was silly, but intuition told them there was something about this place more than meets the eyes. They couldn\'t explain accurately why butterflies would flutter in their bellies whenever they got closer to the dark, crooked and creepy-looking castle. It seems that even the bare trees blowing in the wind had stories to tell with their movements. Haru, Ghu Dwo, Butler Windsock, Chiyou, Khalea, Bho Jin, and 4 others came here today to assist. Haru, who used to be one of Dorian\'s bodyguards, was now Elder Haru to everyone. With his Gambit cards and his magic trick illusions, he quickly became an elder many wished to get accepted by. Butler Windock used to be the Ghu Family\'s main butler. Well, he still is, although there\'s a butler now in the Ghu main estate to take over his duty. Butler Windock was beside Ghu Dwo always, as a loyal follower. It has always been so. And even now when they were both exorcists, Butler Windock was still loyal to Ghu Dwo to a fault. Little Chiyou Obyn has grown up quite a lot ever since the Grandmaster rescued her and her family of 4. Ironically, her entire family had long been taken into the scent by the Grandmaster. Her parents were the first batch of sect elders. And just this year, her little brother Chindu, also joined the academy. The little girl Chiyou, has matured since then, no longer afraid as she used to, and was even revered as a goddess by several in the academy. Her heaven defying luck, as well as Her aptitude was nothing to underestimate. Bho Jin, the next patriarch to the Bho clan, was also here. A little showoff, with a good heart. He was edgy, hot-blooded and hot-headed like his grandfather, old Bho. He responded more to talking with one\'s fist than arguing with your mouth. And then there was Khalea, who had harnessed the power of her shadow affinity after almost a year of training within the academy. Don\'t forget that within the academy, the land there was what many in the other world\'s would describe as a holy land. The aura made them able to cultivate 10... 50… no! 100 times faster than they usually should. It was like a dream to jump up the power ranks so fast in just a few days, weeks and months. Well, well, well… the other 4 who tagged along with them were also no pushovers, even though they were just accepted into the academy 3 weeks ago prior to the last academy test. .
Again, it was important to know that after Khalea\'s second batch, 3 more batches of exorcists were added, based on the normal semester term period. Summer semester, fall, winter, you name it… every season, they take in disciples. And these 4 were like rising stars among the bunch. So of course, they must start taking missions with their seniors and elders to start gaining exorcism points and strengthening their bond with the heavens. Having climbed the lone desolate hill, everyone paused at the castle\'s entrance, their breaths visible in the chill air. "Do you feel it?" Haru asked, his face facing forward but his side eyes glancing at the 3 week old newbies around him. They nodded vigorously. "Elder Haru, this fog... it feels different." "Yeah…" added a cute 10 year old girl. "It\'s not your everyday fog." Although she has only been training for 3 weeks now, she has seen demonic fog before with purple qi laced in it. But then one was different. This one felt much more stronger, and had not just purple, but specs of red qi floating within it too. The fog was not merely a natural phenomenon; it was imbued with a malevolent energy, a sign of the evil that lurked within.
It felt far stronger than the rest, and quite disturbing too. Something was definitely off about it. The fog wrapped around her legs as she moved, resisting her every step as if it were a living entity.
This was why ordinary police officers felt like they had ran a marathon while ascending the hill. Haru nodded with an overly playful grin on his lips . "Good observation. It\'s like it\'s trying to keep us out." But how can a mere fog keep them away? Unfortunately, the event didn\'t expect there to be exorcists in this world. .
"Jin, Khalea…" Bho Jin and Khalea nodded, stepping, leaving the police officers confused. What\'s happening? Did these people just ay The fog was purple with a few specs of red floating in it? Hey… how come to them the fog was only white? Could it be that they were colorblind all of a sudden and couldn\'t see anything else but white at night? Or could the color matter in the fog be a riddle bh these SN department folks? (?0?)
