Necromancer Of The Shadows

"Secret Realm?" Leopold was shocked when he heard Alaric.

"Which secr-" He wanted to ask which secret realm they entered, but suddenly he remembered a rumour that he heard not long ago.

"Don't tellthey entered the secret realm that appeared in the Dark Forest?" (Chp-778)

"Oh!... You've also heard about that secret realm?" Alaric was surprised when he heard Leopold and asked while raising an eyebrow.

Leopold nodded his head hearing Alaric as the rumour about this secret realm created quite a hype around a month ago, but not many people cared about it because the news about this secret realm cout during the twhen the Tomb Of The Ancient was about to open and most of the people were focused on it.

Moreover, the people who tried to look for this secret realm were not able to find any clue about it even after searching for it for quite a while hence, the rumour about it soon died down, and most people thought that someone just spread this news to mess with people.

"Is that rumor true? Is there really a secret realm in the Dark Forest?" Leopold asked with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes," Alaric nodded his head. "There is a secret realm in the Dark Forest... And those two people you are looking for went inside that secret realm."

"If they went inside that secret realm, then doesn't it mean it is very easy to capture them?" Leopold asked with a raised eyebrow. "I mean, don't you just have to send sof your subordinates inside that secret realm as well and you would be able to catch them easily?"

Hearing Leopold, Alaric sighed and massaged his temples.

"If only it were as easy as you."

Leopold was confused when he saw Alaric's expression and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with that secret realm?"

Alaric smiled bitterly when he heard Leopold and said in an irritated voice, "I also want to send my subordinates inside that secret realm to catch them, but the problem is the entrance of this secret realm because I don't know where it is."

"You don't know where the entrance of this secret realm is?" Leopold was stunned when he heard Alaric and looked at him with a confused expression on his face.

"Yes, this secret realm is a lot different from normal realms as its entrance point is not fixed. This secret realm constantly changes its entry point every few minutes, so it is very difficult to find its entrance and enter inside," Alaric said and took a sip of his tea.

"Those two thieves were very lucky because when one of my subordinates found them and wanted to capture them, they cacross that secret realm and went inside it. My subordinate also wanted to follow them inside the secret realm, but before he could enter, the entrance of the secret realm changed closed and shifted its position."

"A secret realm that constantly changes its entry point," Leopold muttered and tapped his finger on the table with a thoughtful look on his face.

"So you stopped looking for them because they entered this secret realm?" He asked after a moment.

"Yeah, since I know they are not in the Dark Forest any more, there was no point in making my subordinates look for them. The Dark Forest is very big, and even though I have many monsters under my command, it is impossible for them to search for the entrance of a secret realm that is constantly changing its location."

'This foxy guy is really good at making up stories.'

Anastasia, who was listening to their conversation from the side thought inwardly as she knew that Alaric was just spouting random nonsense. But because of the serious expression on his face and the way he was speaking, it was very hard for people to tell that he was lying.

'If I didn't know beforehand that he is just spouting bullshit, even I would have believed his nonsense.'

"So the reason you didn't tellabout those two people is because of this secret realm?" Leopold asked while looking at Alaric.

"Yes," Alaric didn't deny it and said in a serious voice. "You should know that matters related to secret realms are very sensitive. I don't want to spread the news about it because once the news about this secret realm spreads, many annoying people will cto the Dark Forest and I won't be able to live in peace."

'Peace? There is no way this foxy guy would have told this vampire about a secret realm if he wanted to live in peace.'

Anastasia didn't know what Alaric was planning, but she was sure that he deliberately told Leopold about the secret realm and was planning something.

Leopold didn't know what Anastasia was thinking, but he completely agreed with Alaric reasoning as he knew that once the news about the secret realm spread, it would definitely attract the unwanted attention of many people.

"Can you givemore information about this secret realm? I won't tell anyone about this secret realm, but I still need to look for those people even if they went inside that realm."

Alaric shook his head hearing Leopold and said with a sigh.

"Honestly, even though I've known about this secret realm for the past few hundred years, the information I have about it is very vague. Other than the fact that the entrance of this secret realm only appears in the outer and inner areas of the Dark Forest, I don't know anything about it."

"Outer and Inner areas... Are you saying the entrance of this realm can't appear in the central area of the Dark Forest?" Leopold asked while raising an eyebrow.

"The central area of the Dark Forest is my territory, and I monitor it 24x7 using my spiritual senses. It's been hundreds of years since this secret realm appeared in the Dark Forest, but not even once has its entrance appeared in the Central Area, so I can assure you that it only appears in the outer and inner areas."
