Chapter 252: Chapter 172: Everyone, I am actually the Igniter!_1

In the corridor on the second floor of the castle, Elder Francesca Guila of the graveyard talked to Milani, Pan God and Ivita, "The current problem is, exactly how much advantage do you three parties want to get from the graveyard?"

"Milani and I just want to rectify the chaos, not to subvert the Graveyard."

"First, you say, Pan."

"Although the grievances between the Graveyard and you have been eliminated with the passing of the previous generation, I want to hear why you want to deal with the Graveyard."

God Pan laughed, showing no fear, or any sense of awe.

"Beneath the altar of the graveyard, there is something that belongs to me, I want to take it back."

Upon hearing this, Elder Francesca Guila of the graveyard breathed a sigh of relief. "If it’s just an object, you can take it."

Because this does not harm the foundation of the Graveyard.

Francesca Guila said: "I basically understand Milani’s thoughts, she is the same as me."

"Then what about you, Ivita?"

Ivita hesitated for a moment and decided to state his purpose directly. Regardless, even if he deceived them now, they would still turn against him later.

It’s better to make it clear from the start.

He said: "There are three reasons for me to deal with the Graveyard."

"The first reason, the graveyard actively attacked me, I must protect my own safety, so I declared war on the graveyard."

Francesca Guila and Milani nodded after hearing this. It makes sense, and is in line with human nature.

Ivita said: "The second reason is, Kappa Town is too close to my territory, and it is on the must-pass route from my territory to the city of Parviga. If I can’t ensure that my neighbor is friendly, it is very detrimental to the development of my territory."

Milani and Francesca also nodded, these points were also reasonable.

This is also why they wanted to form an alliance with Ivita, both sides wanted a friendly neighbor.

Ivita said: "The third reason — I’ve heard that there are elemental flowers and the destructive celestial sphere in the graveyard. I need them as sources for my magic."

Upon hearing this, Milani and Francesca looked a bit uncomfortable.

This was because these two items were of great value and irreplaceable for the Graveyard.

Francesca almost wanted to turn against Ivita right there and then. It was only because Milani and Pan God were present that she held back.

But then Ivita said something that made her even more furious.

Ivita said: "I also want the secret of Thousand-Year Fire, which is beneath the temple altar deep in the Witch’s Graveyard."

’Bang~’

A powerful black-magic energy appeared in Francesca Guila’s left hand. She pressed her palm towards Ivita. Everything near Ivita exploded, the bricks on the ground, the ceiling overhead, the wall behind Ivita, all blew up.

This was a curse stronger than the explosive curse of a graveyard wizard apprentice.

It was a multiple explosive curse.

However, when Ivita was directly facing this magic, he used throwing magic to pull himself in another direction, using the same effect as an acceleration magic to avoid this attack.

Ivita looked at the wall in his corridor with pain in his heart. It had only been repaired less than a month ago and was already damaged again.

If he had known this a month ago, he wouldn’t have hired craftsmen to repair the wall.

Francesca suppressed her anger and said, "The Graveyard’s mission is to protect the important secret of Thousand-Year Fire."

"We absolutely won’t let anyone covet it."

"Perhaps, it was a mistake to approach you."

Milani immediately stood by Francesca’s side. She also wanted to protect the secret of Thousand-Year Fire, which was why she wanted to form an alliance to overthrow Hugo’s rule.

But she didn’t expect that Ivita was also coveting the Thousand-Year Fire.

Ivita covered his left eye with his hand, and the color of his right eye pupil turned into the color of flames, with flames leaping within his eyes. "Is that so? Then finding out why the Thousand-Year Fire is weakening and how to reignite it is also my mission as an Igniter."

Milani and Francesca were stunned.

Milani in surprise said: "You are an Igniter? Have you entered the fire sacrifice square? How is that possible?"

Francesca realized that her explosive magic had been burnt through by flames. She immediately said to Milani: "It’s true. The flames in his eyes... this feeling is too similar to when I interact with ash magic. His eyes may contain some power from Thousand-Year Fire."

"Moreover, I have seen other Igniters. Upon careful feeling, I realized that he carries the aura left by Thousand-Year Fire."

"Milani, I’m afraid he may be telling the truth."

Elder Francesca waved her hand, dispelled the magic, and gave a bow to Ivita,"I’m very sorry, I was not aware of your identity beforehand."

"You should have said it earlier. If so, I will not only not prevent you from seeking Thousand-Year Fire’s secret, but will also help you."

She activated Spirit Vision and found that there seemed to be a flame burning on Ivita’s shoulder.

This was not Ivita’s Spirit, it was the mark left by Thousand-Year Fire on him.

Milani breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

The secrets that the Graveyard protects are intended to be revealed to Igniters.

Milani and Ivita felt much closer. Milani said to Ivita with a smirk, "You really should have explained it earlier. That way, you wouldn’t have lost another wall."

The word ’another’ hit Ivita hard.

Ivita said: "It seems that you have acknowledged my desire for the secret of Thousand-Year Fire."

Milani was somewhat excited. "Of course. You Igniters are the ones us Witch Cemetery witches have been looking for all our lives, don’t you know?"

"Before you were even born, generation after generation of the Cemetery Witches have made it their life’s pursuit to find the like of you."

"Many of us have lived our lives in anticipation of your kind’s arrival."

"You are our faith and our goal."

Pan God spread his hands helplessly. "Well, your faith and goal seem a little small to me."

"I suggest you should aim higher."

"Forget it, the founding witches of your cemetery, the Eastern Three Witches, were a bit off in the first place."

Milani calmed down and asked Francesca, "Teacher, you mentioned that you’ve met other Igniters. Why don’t the rest of us know about this?"

Pan God said, "Good question. I’d like to know that too."

Ivita looked at her curiously, wondering why the current cemetery was deviating from its original position.

Francesca sighed, "Actually, it’s all my fault."

"You need to know, the last cemetery lead died two hundred years ago."

"He did not die at the hands of an enemy, nor did he die naturally. He was killed by Hugo Russo. Hugo Russo was at that time the most outstanding wizard’s apprentice in the cemetery, standing at an equal position to Milani."

"Interestingly, Hugo was introverted and not good at interacting with others, just like you initially were."

"But he was extraordinarily talented and was regarded as the obvious choice for the leader of the wizards of the cemetery."

"In this process, Hugo committed a terrible act. He buried his mother’s remains in the cemetery, making her became a part of it."

"Afterwards, his mother, in a short period of time, became the leader of the ancestors of the cemetery."

"And so did he. Hugo had the power to change the ancestors’ thoughts, allowing him to act recklessly."

Francesca looked worried. "Looking back now, did the cemetery ancestors not know that Ivita is one of the Igniters?"

"Yet they still chose you for the cemetery sacrifice."

"I suspect Hugo’s mother kidnapped the ancestors, turning the cemetery founded on the basis of Ash Magic into their personal tool."

"Moreover, I discovered that Hugo has been secretly killing Igniters. I don’t know what he’s plotting."

"All in all, it comes back to blaming Pan."

Pan God felt somewhat wronged. "You’re blaming me?"

"For over 200 years, I’ve done nothing to your cemetery."

Francesca glared at Pan. "Two hundred years ago, you used your magic to resurrect the dead of the cemetery, which led to the lack of power of the ancestors, and allowed Hugo’s mother to seize control and even become the leader of the cemetery ancestors."

Pan God fell silent, he hadn’t thought it really had anything to do with him.

Milani covered her mouth in shock. She hadn’t thought that the cemetery’s situation was far worse than she had imagined.

She had previously only seen the surface level of things.

Hugo Russo was far more evil than she had imagined.

Ivita asked curiously: "What do you mean by choosing me as a sacrifice? What is the Cemetery Sacrifice?"

Right away, Milani explained the situation.

After hearing the explanation, Ivita was so angry her face turned black.

Alright then, he no longer had any reason to show mercy to the Witch Cemetery now.

Milani told Ivita: "Look at the bright side, if I become the head of the Witch Cemetery, I can share some of the ancestral power with you."

"You won’t need to become a witch of the cemetery."

"But you can indeed share the power of the Ancestors."

"Of course, all this has to wait until our actions are successful. If we fail, then all we are talking about now is just empty talk."

Elder Francesca didn’t speak.

She had no intention of becoming a leader, after putting an end to Hugo, she will of course follow the steps of two hundred years ago and support Milani to become the leader.

Ivita nodded. "It seems we have reached an agreement on the alliance."

"So how do we deal with Hugo?"

"Do we attack directly?"

Milani shook her head, rejecting it outright: "No, the cemetery has the protection of ’Destructive Celestial Sphere’ and ’Lightning Storm Magic’. If we attack directly, we would be heading down a dead end."

"And what’s more... and Hugo Russo himself is a great wizard, fortified by the power of the ancestors in the cemetery. He’s fearless, even against high-ranking witches in the cemetery."

"We can only think of a clever way to outwit him."

Ivita nodded and said, "I see. Thank you all for the information."

If the enemy weren’t so powerful, these people wouldn’t want to ally with him.

Their alliance is built on having a formidable enemy.

Milani said to Ivita, "Also, I have two pieces of bad news for you."

"Hugo is planning to expend the connections the cemetery accumulated before, to seek help from Boots Cat and Fairy Iron Thorn."

Pan God’s face changed at that, he said to Ivita, "Minor Ivita, these are two people I wouldn’t even want to mess with in my prime."
