"Emendas, you're joking with me, right?" Harvey smirked. "Don't you know better than me what your Adventurers are doing in the Blackstone Mountains? So what if a few of them die on the way? How dare you use this as an excuse? Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you're friends with my brother? "
"Young Master Harvey!" Before Emendas could say anything, the Archmage who had been resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. His calm face had turned stern, and although his voice was not loud, it had an unquestionable tone. "You've had too much to drink."
"I …" Harvey, who could scold Emendas whenever he wanted, suddenly froze. He looked at the Archmage who had opened his eyes, and his voice became softer. "I was just … just joking …"
"Some jokes should not be made." After saying that, the Archmage closed his eyes again, and his expression was calm and peaceful. It was as if everything in the tent had nothing to do with him.
After being lectured a few times, Harvey seemed to have lost his interest in scolding people. He left with Hahn and Granger.
After watching the three of them leave, Emendas finally heaved a sigh of relief. He picked up the map on the coffee table again, and discussed with Jason when they should set off.
"Brother Jason, I would like to discuss with you if my team could rest for a while before setting off. As you know, we've been in a lot of trouble these few days. We were even attacked by the Venomous Giant Winged Vulture this morning, and more than 10 of our brothers died … "Emendas paused before continuing," Actually, we still have plenty of time. If we set off after lunch, we'll have an afternoon to pass through the Scar of Death … "
"Oh …" Jason nodded absentmindedly. Although his eyes were on the map on the coffee table, his mind was filled with the conversation between Harvey and Emendas.
Could it be that the Felic they were talking about was him?
At the thought of this, even Jason could not help but laugh. How could that be possible? How could that young mage become an Adventurer who would risk his life for money? Alright, let's just take it that the world had gone mad, and that young mage really became an Adventurer. But, who could afford to hire him? Not to mention the Malfa Family, even the Felan Royal Family could not afford to hire a powerhouse who could kill a Humerus Wyrm with his own hands.
After all, even his servant used to be a Lich …
Moreover, Jason knew very well that the background of this young mage was not just an ordinary person.
After returning from the ruins of Syer Town, Jason had tried to find out more about the background of this young mage called Felic. Coincidentally, Jason had a fellow from the Alanna Guild of Magic who was also an Archmage. Hence, he would more or less know some information about the higher-ups. At that time, Jason thought that since they were both mages, this fellow from the same town might know something. Hence, he took the opportunity to find out more from him when he was back to visit his family.
Who knew that upon hearing the name Felic, that fellow's eyes widened, and he kept asking Jason how he knew this freak …
When Jason told him about the ruins of Syer Town, that fellow was stunned for a long time. After staring at Jason for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed, "You're actually still alive!"
Then, under Jason's puzzled gaze, that fellow from the same hometown told him about the trial at the Alanna Guild of Magic, and about the most insane trial apprentice in history …
Jason's jaw dropped when he heard what happened in the Alanna Guild of Magic. Although Jason had seen him kill a Humerus Wyrm with his own eyes, and a Lich become his servant, Jason had never thought that a person could be so perverted …
Jason wiped the cold sweat off his forehead when he heard the story. He thought about what he had discussed with Sienna when they were in the ruins of Syer Town. It was no different from suicide. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. Otherwise, the wrath of his mentor, the Legendary-mage Andoine, would be enough to burn him and Sienna to ashes.
"You should have heard of the Sanctuary-mage Apophis, one of the three arbitrators of the Supreme Council? I heard from the people in the guild that he has been staying at the Tower of Dusk for half a month … "That fellow said meaningfully before he left …
Who would dare to hire such a person as an adventurer?
"Oh, yes, Emendas, that Felic you were talking about …"
"Felic?" Emendas felt a headache coming on when he heard that name. He rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly. "An unlucky mage. I don't know how he offended Young Master Harvey, but Young Master Harvey is forcing me to think of a way to get rid of him in the Blackstone Mountains …"
"Mage?" Jason's heart skipped a beat. If it was a coincidence that they had the same name, it would be abnormal if they had the same occupation. Thinking of this, Jason hurriedly asked, "How old is he?"
Emendas was having a headache, and did not notice that Jason's expression was off. He only frowned as he tried to recall. "I think he's in his twenties, black hair, black eyes, always smiling, and very polite. I really don't understand how he offended Young Master Mafa …"
"Oh no …" Jason knew that he was in deep trouble when he heard that.
He was in his twenties, had black hair, black eyes, was always smiling, and spoke politely. Who else could it be other than Felic?
"Brother Jason, what's wrong?" Emendas was about to continue discussing the rest when he realized that Jason was staring at him blankly as if he had been possessed.
"No … Nothing …" Jason could no longer sit still. "Emendas, I'm really sorry. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, and I have to go settle it now. As for the rest, you can do as you see fit. I don't have any objections …"
Then, Jason hurriedly walked out of the tent …
…
At this moment, Lin Li was frowning.
Through the evil spirit on Granger's body, Lin Li heard every word of Emendas' argument in the tent. He was not surprised that Harvey wanted to kill him. After all, a moron like him would not be able to think of a good way to woo Rina. Killing him was the only way he could think of …
But, Lin Li was curious as to where that Archmage came from.
Although Harvey was hopelessly stupid, he was still the second young master of the Malfa Family. Just this alone was enough for him to do whatever he wanted. Even Emendas could be scolded by him, so what background did this Archmage have to be able to scold him so rudely …?
"Master, Harvey has asked someone to get Johnathan here …" Just as Lin Li was racking his brains, Ujfalusi, who was monitoring with the evil spirit, suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Lin Li stood up abruptly, and his expression turned ugly. "Why is he looking for Brother Johnathan?"
"It seems …" Ujfalusi hesitated for a while. "It seems like he wants Johnathan to lead a team to enter the Scar of Death …"
"Whose idea was that?"
"Hahn."
"F * ck …" Lin Li cursed with an ugly expression.
The Scar of Death was a place where danger lurked everywhere. Even if Emendas led a team into the Scar of Death, they would most likely die, not to mention the level-14 Johnathan. Hahn, this bastard, is really inhumane. How could he send his distant cousin to his death?
"Come, let's look for Brother Johnathan." Lin Li picked up the Aether Staff beside him, and led Ujfalusi and the rest out of the tent.
After a while, Lin Li found Johnathan, who was packing his belongings.
"Brother Felic, why are you here?" Johnathan was packing his luggage with a frown, but when he saw Lin Li and the others walking into the tent, he was immediately shocked.
"We just heard that Big Brother Johnathan is going to lead a group of people into the Scar of Death as the advance party. Hence, we came over to ask if Big Brother Johnathan could bring us along. Who knows, we might even be able to help you out a little …"
"No, no, Brother Felic, I'm telling you, everything else is fine, but not this. It's not like you don't know that entering the Scar of Death as the advance party is no different from courting death. It's good enough that one out of ten people can come out alive. Your Big Brother Johnathan is unlucky to be assigned such a suicide mission. I can't drag you down with me, Brother Felic …"
"Haha …"
After being rejected by Johnathan, Lin Li did not continue to persuade him. He only smiled, and turned to look for Hahn. He took the initiative to suggest that he would enter the Scar of Death with Johnathan's advance team.
"Really?" Hahn was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally, letting Johnathan lead the advance party was something that Hahn had come up with on the spur of the moment. He felt that Johnathan kept saying that Johnathan was his distant cousin in front of everyone, which made him lose face. Thus, he wanted to take this opportunity to shut Johnathan's mouth forever.
He did not expect that this Felic would take the initiative to suggest going with Johnathan …
Damn it, I'm so lucky. Emendas racked his brains to no avail, but I managed to do it with just a few words. I'll personally send this fella into the Scar of Death. Young Master Harvey will be very happy, and I won't have to worry about my days in the Malfa Family anymore …
"Alright, when do you plan to set off?" Hahn asked straightforwardly.
"Immediately."
