From a rational perspective, he could understand Du Ming's vigilance. However, he was also immersed in the wonderful feeling of understanding the art of bartending, and he cherished Du Ming's talent even more. Suddenly being questioned by the disciple he had just accepted, and even asked to confront him with force, from an emotional point of view, Ji Dong could not accept it. Moreover, he was more emotional than rational at times. Otherwise, he would not have faced hundreds and thousands of enemies for the sake of the Forest Demons, not to mention the Touki Legion. Therefore, he turned around and left, very resolutely. He would still help solve the matter of the Bartenders Guild, but he was not prepared to learn anything from Du Ming anymore.
"Teacher, don't go." Du Ming rushed forward and blocked Ji Dong's path.
Ji Dong said calmly, "Why, do you still want me to go to the Bartenders Guild with you? I will go there, but not now. I will have a way to convince your father that I am here to help, and not an enemy.
"No, no, teacher, I was wrong." Du Ming's face turned red. Just like what Ji Dong had said, if he was an enemy, would he let him, the son of the God of Wine, go? Moreover, Ji Dong's bartending skills were so exquisite, and the power he had released was so terrifying. Although he did not understand how Ji Dong did it, as a four-crowned magician, he clearly knew how powerful Ji Dong was. With his teacher's power, even if he charged into the Bartenders Guild, no one would be able to stop him. With absolute power, what need was there for schemes?
Moreover, Du Ming noticed that when Ji Dong said that the fate between teacher and disciple was over, there was a hint of sadness and even pain in the depths of his eyes. It could not be faked. Whether it was from intuition or reason, he decided to believe Ji Dong.
With a plop, Du Ming knelt in front of Ji Dong again and said, "Teacher, I was too impulsive just now. Please give me a chance. My mother and sister were both taken away, and my heart is really messed up. I am a straightforward person, and if there is a question in my heart, I will definitely speak it out."
Ji Dong said calmly, "Sometimes, in a person's life, there is only one chance. From a rational point of view, I completely understand you, but I am a casual person. Now, I no longer want to accept a disciple. Let me remind you, no matter the misunderstanding between you and your father, this is the time when he needs you the most. Go back to the Bartenders Guild. Soon, you will see me there again. Goodbye, Du Ming."
As he spoke, Ji Dong's figure flashed, and before Du Ming could react, he had already walked past him. By the time Du Ming turned around, Ji Dong was already gone.
Staring blankly at the empty alleyway, Du Ming felt as if something was missing from his heart. He muttered to himself, "Sometimes, in a person's life, there is only one chance. Could it be that I have really missed the opportunity of my life? No, I will definitely not miss it. Teacher, I will wait for you at the Bartenders Guild. "
After leaving the alleyway, Ji Dong was in a bad mood. He was not a very open-minded person, but he was very emotional. When Du Ming's gaze had turned cold and he had retreated step by step, he could not accept it anymore.
At this time, suddenly, Ji Dong heard the voice of the Flaming Bar, "Ji Dong, come back to the hotel now."
Hearing the voice of the Flaming Bar, Ji Dong immediately threw everything to the back of his mind. The first thing he thought of was that the Flaming Bar was in danger, "Flaming Bar, what's wrong?"
The Flaming Bar knew him very well, "I'm fine. Come back, someone is looking for you."
"Someone is looking for me?" Ji Dong was stunned for a moment and immediately sped up his footsteps towards the hotel. After thinking for a moment, he knew who was looking for him. There was no need to ask, it must be the people from the Magician Guild. Other than them, Ji Dong couldn't think of anyone else in Tianshui City who was related to him. It was obvious that the two Magicians at the city gate had reported his arrival in Tianshui City to the higher-ups. This was also good, it saved him the trouble of going to the Magician Guild to find them.
As it turned out, his guess was very correct. When he returned to the hotel, he found that there were a total of three people looking for him. All of them were elders in their sixties, two men and one woman. He didn't know any of them, but from the badges they wore, he could tell that the elder wearing a black robe was a Seven Star Magician, and the other two were Six Star.
In the living room of the suite, there was only Ah Jin sitting on the side with a cold expression. The Flaming Bar seemed to be in the bedroom, so the three old men sitting on the other sofa looked a bit awkward, but they had no choice but to wait here. The law enforcement elder of the headquarters had come, how could they not come out to meet him?
Seeing Ji Dong, the three Magicians couldn't help but stare blankly. The middle-aged Magician probed: "You are?"
Ji Dong said: "Hello, I am Ji Dong, the three of you should be from the Magician Guild's Tianshui City branch, right?"
"You are the law enforcement elder?" The Six Star Magician couldn't help but involuntarily ask. This old woman, who was old enough to be Ji Dong's grandmother, had a look of disbelief in her eyes. Although the news from the headquarters said that Ji Dong was very young, but when they saw Ji Dong with their own eyes, the three old Magicians were still shocked.
Ji Dong took out his Eight Star Badge and the badge and handed them to the leading old man. The old man carefully looked at them, then quickly returned them to Ji Dong: "Magician Guild's Tianshui City branch leader Gu Chen greets the law enforcement elder, these two are my assistants."
Ji Dong said: "You three don't need to be polite, please sit."
The four of them sat down. Although Ji Dong was too young for the three branch leaders to accept, the badge and badge in his hands were genuine, so they had no choice but to believe him. However, their expressions weren't that respectful, just like the majority of people who saw Ji Dong for the first time. A young man in his twenties, no matter how talented he was, how strong could he be?
"Law enforcement elder, you didn't come to Tianshui City this time. Are you just passing by, or are you here for business?" Gu Chen politely asked.
Ji Dong's eyes were sharp, so naturally, he could see that the branch leader didn't think much of him, so he said: "Branch leader Gu Chen, even if you didn't come looking for me, I was going to look for you. Aside from being a Magician, I'm also a bartender. This time, I came to Tianshui City for the Bartenders Union, but I just heard from the branch's Magician that something happened to the Bartenders Union. Do you know what's going on?"
When Gu Chen heard that Ji Dong came for the Bartenders Union, his expression couldn't help but change: "Law enforcement elder, something big happened to the Bartenders Union. If it's not absolutely necessary, it's better if you don't deal with them for now. The Bartenders Union is being dealt with by the Demonic Alliance.
"Demonic Alliance? What's that? "Ji Dong asked suspiciously.
Gu Chen frowned, he obviously didn't think that Ji Dong didn't even know about the Demonic Alliance. How could he know that Ji Dong had been cultivating since he was young and didn't have much contact with the Magician Union? Only the Magicians themselves knew about the existence of the Demonic Alliance. Whether it was Ji Dong or Fury, they could be said to be from the academy. They didn't have much contact with the Magician Union, nor did they have much experience in the world of Magicians. Naturally, they didn't know what the Demonic Alliance was. "The Demonic Alliance is the abbreviation of the Alliance of Magicians.
The members of the Demon Alliance are all Demon Masters who use the power of Demon Masters to fulfill their selfish desires and harm society. Although the total number of Demon Masters in the Demon Alliance is far less than our guild, their core strength is very strong. The history of the Demon Alliance is even earlier than the Magic Skill Guild, almost at the same time as our Magic Master Guild. In the Demon Alliance, strength is everything, and the organizational structure is very strict. About two hundred years ago, our Magic Master Guild and the Magic Skill Guild once launched a large encirclement against the Demon Alliance. That was a huge blow to them, at least five Supreme Rankers from both sides participated in the battle. However, that battle also caused our two guilds to suffer heavy losses. Since then, the Demon Alliance has disappeared, and from the light to the dark, they no longer appear so brazenly on the continent. It was only in the recent decades that their activities started to become more frequent. "
According to our estimation, the Demon Alliance's main camp is in the North Water Empire. Their activities in the North Water Empire are also the most rampant, robbing caravans, killing Demon Masters, kidnapping nobles, raping and looting. After the Bartenders Guild was in trouble, they immediately came to our Magic Master Guild and asked us to investigate. On the Bartenders Guild, we clearly left the Black Dragon mark of the Demon Alliance. Therefore, we can be sure that the Demon Alliance must have taken a fancy to something in the Bartenders Guild, and that's why they suddenly launched an attack to rob and kill. The Demon Alliance has a history of thousands of years. Although they have been encircled many times in history, they are still alive, and their actions are getting more and more secretive. It's extremely difficult to find their headquarters or main force. "
This time, it was Ji Dong's turn to be shocked. He didn't expect that there was such an alliance among the Demon Masters. Not all the Demon Masters were controlled by the Magic Master Guild and the nobles. Yes, when a person had extraordinary abilities, there would be people with weak willpower who used this extraordinary power on the pursuit of profit.
Ji Dong asked, "Branch Leader Lonely Day, since we found out that it was the Demon Alliance, how are we going to deal with it?"
Lonely Day sighed and shook his head. "We've already sent the news to the headquarters, but I'm afraid the guild won't care about this."
Ji Dong asked doubtfully, "Why not? Shouldn't our guild help the Bartenders Guild when the Demon Alliance appeared? "
Lonely Day said, "Elder, it's not that we don't want to help, but it's because we're in a critical period right now. We have more than enough manpower to defend Tianshui City, but we don't have enough manpower to attack. Moreover, although the Bartenders Guild has asked us for help, they're timid and apprehensive. The Demon Alliance left them a letter after the raid, but Du Sikang refused to let us see the letter, and refused to tell us the contents. We don't even know the whole story, so how can we help them? The Battle of Saint and Evil will begin in half a year's time. Although the guild won't directly participate in the Battle of Saint and Evil, but before every Battle of Saint and Evil, the guild will have to make a lot of preparations and deploy a large number of elite magicians to the entrance of the Saint and Evil Passage, ready to support at any time. This is the rule left behind by the ancestors, and we're currently preparing for this matter. It's impossible for us to divert a large number of magicians for the Demon Alliance's matter. Moreover, even if we transfer a large number of magicians from the headquarters, there shouldn't be enough time. The headquarters also needs to deploy people from all over the place, and with the long journey, it's impossible to arrive without two to three months. The time that the Demon Alliance gave the Bartenders Guild will not exceed ten days. They clearly saw this point before suddenly attacking. Although we're prepared now, they've already captured the women and children of the Bartenders Guild. Pure defense is useless. As the branch leader, I can't gamble with the lives of our guild's magicians just because of the Bartenders Guild. "
"So that's how it is." Listening to Lonely Day's words, Ji Dong had a better understanding of the situation. For the sake of the Battle of Saint and Evil, the Magicians Guild had put in so much effort behind the scenes. Since the Wine Master Guild didn't care, then he would handle it himself. He wanted to see just how strong the Demon Alliance was.
"Branch Leader Lonely Day, how about this? I'll trouble you to introduce me to the Bartenders Guild. I'll handle the matter of their robbery."
Lonely Day was taken aback. "You want to handle this personally? Elder, this isn't too good." Although that was what he said, Gu Chen didn't think much of it. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Although I don't know how you managed to obtain the honor of the law enforcement elder, but is the Demonic Alliance so easy to deal with? If it was like that, they would've been destroyed a few hundred years ago.
"There's nothing bad about it," Ji Dong said. "I just want to understand the situation. Don't worry, if it's impossible, I won't force it. There's no time to lose, let's go."
The Enforcement Elder was a respected figure in the Magicians Guild, second only to the Magicians Guild's president. Lonely Day couldn't disobey Ji Dong's orders. With no other choice, he brought the two vice presidents and Ji Dong to the Bartenders Guild's headquarters.
When they arrived at the Bartenders Guild's headquarters, the strange building's doors were still tightly shut. It was as if they were a thousand miles away. Lonely Day knocked on the door. "The Magicians Guild's Lonely Day is here to pay a visit."
It wasn't long before the Bartenders Guild's doors were fully opened. A dozen or so people came out to greet them. "President Lonely Day, I was just about to go find you.
