"That depends on you, sir," Anfey said softly .

Golman frowned and didn't say anything . He did not know, nor trust Anfey, which was why he did not know where he should begin the conversation . Everything Golman did, he did for a reason . He chose Scarlet because he wanted to groom her into a ruler so he could challenge Minos and give necromancers a place to exist . He wanted to end the control Minos had on necromancers because that was the only way he could free them .

Since Scarlet was dead, he had to find someone else to cooperate with . Judging from the global affairs at the moment, Yolanther was his best choice . He was an acquaintance of Baery's, but the two were not on friendly terms . Speaking with Anfey was easier than speaking with Baery . Having Hui Wei there also helped Golman .

Anfey could tell there was something on Golman's mind . "You came all the way here to speak to me, despite the danger," he said quietly . "To me, that's a sign of trust . You can speak your mind here, sir . "

Golman smiled . "There wasn't much danger," he said . "You see, I am not your enemy . It will do you no good killing me . If you do, you risk me using the Death Armageddon spell . Even if I don't, Morgan and Desvidia are still out there and can instead . We are blessed with long lives, and I am sure they will avenge my death; not just the people who killed me, but their families as well . "

"You have a point," Anfey said . Even if he could kill Golman, he didn't want to .

"Baery wanted to kill me once," Golman said . "But he didn't . People who spare my life tend to become my friends . "

Anfey nodded but didn't say a word . He knew that the best thing to do was to keep quiet .

Advertisement"Despite what you may believe, we are not evil," Golman continued . "We were all humans . Despite our decaying bodies, we still have human emotions . You know Morgan as the man who killed dozens of top-level powers over the years, but you do not know that most of the time, he only kills out of self-defense . "

"Most of the time?"

"Sometimes he kills to relieve his frustration," Golman said . "I am sure that if you were hunted constantly, you would become frustrated as well . Like I've said—we have emotions as well . "

Anfey nodded . He remembered that he first met Burzuryano because he was there to hunt Morgan . Kamlin became a hermit because he lost his wife while hunting down Morgan . It seemed like hunting Morgan became a goal shared by all top-level powers .

"I know we've made a bad impression on you," Golman said . "But you do not hate us the way others do . You shouldn't, either . "

"What do you mean?" Anfey asked .

"The power you use… It is not from our world, is it?"

"I've never met someone else who uses it," Anfey said .

"Your mind magic is even more powerful than your teacher's," Golman said . "It is very interesting to me . "

"Because I have a different way of practicing it," Anfey said .

"This is just a word of advice, but you shouldn't use mind magic as much as you do," Golman said . "If you keep using it this often, trouble will find you . Just like Morgan . " Golman narrowed his eyes, which were blinking with red light .

"Really?" Anfey asked, surprised . "That's what my first teacher told me . "

"You mean, your first teacher taught you your mind magic? The supreme power?" Golman asked . He did not believe what Anfey said because he knew his own abilities . Scarlet's death might have influenced him, but Golman knew he would never make a mistake while using his mind magic . Anfey had to be lying .

"He did teach me that," Anfey said . "But that was too long ago . I cannot remember if he was a supreme power or not . "

Golman sighed . He had brought up mind magic because he wanted to see Anfey's reaction . He decided to move on because this was a conversation, not an interrogation .

He was there to find a partner, not the truth . As long as Anfey could work with him, Golman did not care who Anfey really was or where he came from .

"I'm sure you didn't just come here to warn me, sir," Anfey said with a smile . He didn't show it, but what Golman said had made an impact . Clearly, Golman knew about the secret he was keeping . He only kept calm because that was how he dealt with things .

"Of course not," Golman said . "I came here because I have a proposal for Yolanther . "

Anfey frowned . This was even more important than he thought . This wasn't something he could decide . Not even Baery or Saul could make a decision on such a matter . Working with necromancers had fouled Edward the Eighth's reputation . Would Yolanther take the risk?

"This is just the general outline of the plan . We can work out the details at a later meeting," Golman said . "In order to show my sincerity, I have something for you . You must know of Evil Mist . "

Anfey smiled . "Of course . When I first arrived here with Master Saul, we were attacked by people from Evil Mist . "

"You must be talking about things that happened recently . "

"About two years ago . "

Golman nodded . "By then, Evil Mist was no longer under my control . "

"Why is that?"

"I've had the organization for two hundred years," Golman said . "After I betrayed Minos, the organization fell apart . Some people didn't know the organization was controlled by necromancers . Those people left after learning the truth . The others knew I was behind the organization, but since I have no power or money, there was no reason to follow me . "

"So you no longer control the organization?"

"I can control those that chose to remain with the organization," Golman said . He paused, then continued, "you were attacked at Tumen, weren't you?"

"Yes . "

"That must have been Douglas," Golman said . "He was always in control of that place . He was the son of the head of the Tumen Commercial Union, Sizen . Sizen didn't want to be controlled by the Maho Empire and declared independence . Soon after, his entire family, save for young Douglas, was brutally murdered . Because of this, Douglas hated Yolanther . For him, Evil Mist is just another tool to get revenge . I kept him around because he is brilliant . "

Anfey frowned . He had never heard of Douglas, but if Golman said he was brilliant, he must have been .

"You see, I am willing to give up my organization as a sign of sincerity . Even if Evil Mist is divided, I will still control a significant chunk of it . I can aid him in his effort to unite the world . "

"How so?"

"It's easy," Golman said . "A small-scale plague is all I need . Think about what losing their farmers and merchants will do to the Ellisen Empire . "

"Why didn't you do that for Scarlet?" Anfey asked, curious .

"Scarlet was young," Golman said with a sigh . "I wanted Baery to be a trial for her so she knows how to take on a strong enemy by herself . "
