However, just as Sendros was about to release a trace of mental strength to track it, the near-perfect Dark Force suddenly disappeared without any warning or trace. It was as if there was no such perfect Dark Force in this world, and everything that happened just now was just Sendros's illusion …
Of course, Sendros knew that it was not an illusion.
The Dark Force that came from the Scar of Death was real and clear. Even though it had disappeared, Sendros could still feel the shock that went straight to his soul.
"Darkness is indeed the best at hiding …" After the near-perfect Dark Force disappeared, Sendros's mood did not seem to be affected at all. His pale face even revealed a smile for the first time.
To Sendros, it was enough to know that there was such a Dark Force in this world, and that the Incarnation of Darkness had descended. As for why the Dark Force disappeared, and where the Incarnation of Darkness had descended, it was not important …
When Sendros returned to his tent, there was already someone waiting there for a long time.
In the entire Malfa Family's campsite, only Hutton dared to enter Sendros' tent.
Hutton's smile was warm and respectful. "Greetings, Master Sendros."
"Hmm." When Sendros returned to his tent, the smile on his face had already disappeared without a trace, and he looked as lifeless as before. His gaze was cold, and if it weren't for the fact that he acknowledged Lin Li in a lukewarm manner, 9 out of 10 people would probably think that he was a walking corpse.
Hutton was probably the only exception. This first heir of the Malfa Family seemed to have a very strange talent. It was as if he was born to know how to get along with people. Even when facing a monster like Sendros who was half Undead and half human, he could still maintain a good relationship with both parties.
"Oh, yes, Master Sendros. Have you gotten used to your stay these few days?"
"Hmm."
Sendros' cold attitude did not seem to affect Hutton at all. Even after being rejected a few times, the first heir of the Malfa Family still maintained that warm and respectful smile on his face. "Hehe, actually, I came here this time because I have something that I would like to ask Master Sendros for help with …"
"Speak." Sendros uttered an extra word for the first time ever.
It was because Sendros had been waiting for those words for a few days.
Back then, before Sendros broke through to the Legendary-realm, he owed Cheyenne a favor. After he finally broke through to the Legendary-realm, he had been looking for a chance to return the favor. However, Legendary-mages were almost omnipotent, and there were very few things in this world that could stump a Legendary-mage. It was not easy for Sendros to return the favor …
He had waited for several decades. It was only recently that Cheyenne had written a letter to him, hoping that he could come to the Blackstone Mountains and help his disciple at a critical moment.
"It's like this, Master Sendros. I just received a magical message from Senior Brother Adelo. He has returned from the Scar of Death, and will be back at the campsite in about an hour. However, the mage with him seems to be a threat to the Malfa Family. Hence, I hope that you can help the Malfa Family get rid of this potential threat on account of Teacher Cheyenne …"
To be honest, Hutton was a little shocked when he received Adelo's magical message …
Adelo's magical message was actually very simple. There was no mage that could threaten the Malfa Family. It was just two simple sentences, and the mission had been successfully completed. There were no casualties in the advance party, and they would arrive at the Malfa Family's campsite in an hour.
However, these two simple sentences immediately made Hutton nervous. According to the original plan, after Adelo obtained the two relics from the altar, he would immediately kill the members of the advance party to prevent them from leaking the secret.
One had to know that the two relics included a map of the Immortal King's treasure. This was not a joke, and it could bring disaster to the Malfa Family if news of this was leaked. Who in the whole of Anril would not be tempted by the Immortal King's treasure? By then, even Legendary powerhouses would be fighting for it.
No matter how strong the Malfa Family was, they only had one Legendary powerhouse, Cheyenne. If a few Legendary powerhouses were to fight for it, the whole Malfa Family would not be far from destruction.
Fortunately, Hutton quickly calmed down. Adelo did not say much in the magical message, but with Hutton's understanding of Adelo, he was still able to guess most of what had happened in the Scar of Death.
Without a doubt, all of this was because of that President Felic.
It seemed like both he and Adelo had underestimated the power of that young President. They had originally thought that with an Archmage at the peak of level-17 and two level-17 Warriors, that young President would not be able to escape the fate of being killed even if he was not weak. Yet, they did not expect this to be the outcome. This was troublesome. Even with the abilities of Adelo and two high-level Warriors, they still could not kill him. This meant that this young President was at least a powerhouse above level-18, or even level-19 …
If he was really level-19, then it would be too scary …
Unless his mentor Cheyenne personally took action, no one in the whole Malfa Family would be able to suppress him. Even if he mobilized all the elites of the Malfa Family in the Blackstone Mountains and all the adventurers who risked their lives for money, they might not be able to make him stay.
After all, a level-19 powerhouse was only one step away from the Legendary-realm. It was possible to defeat him with numbers, but how could it be easy to kill him?
This was not a situation that Hutton wanted to see.
Once he escaped from the Blackstone Mountains, the Malfa Family would not only have to face the top powerhouses who were fighting for the Immortal King's treasure map, but they would also have to face the revenge of the Supreme Council.
After all, that President Felic was personally appointed by the Supreme Council. How could he not have any background when he was already in such a prominent position at the age of 20?
Sigh, if only Adelo could kill him in the Scar of Death …
Anyway, the Scar of Death was full of danger. Even if that young President died, Hutton could still blame it on the Undead creatures or magical beasts.
Unfortunately, be it himself or Adelo, they had underestimated the abilities of this young President, and allowed him to walk out of the Scar of Death alive. This time, the Malfa Family could not act brazenly. With so many eyes watching, attacking the President of the Guild of Magic was equivalent to challenging the authority of the Supreme Council. In the past 1,300 years, how many forces that challenged the authority of the Supreme Council had a good ending?
Hence, Hutton looked for Sendros.
This was because Sendros was the most suitable person to make a move.
Firstly, Sendros was strong enough. He was a Necromancer in the Legendary-realm, and could kill this young President instantly. Even if he was really only one step away from the Legendary-realm, this step would be an insurmountable gap.
Furthermore, Sendros was born in the Ledin Kingdom, and would not be too afraid of the Supreme Council. This was because the Ledin Kingdom was the only country that was not controlled by the Supreme Council. Even if the Supreme Council wanted to take revenge, it would be too far away.
Of course, just Sendros alone was not enough. Apart from Sendros, Hutton still had to look for Vanskore later. As long as he could offer enough benefits, this desperado would most likely not disappoint him.
"Sure." Sendros' voice was still cold, but when Hutton heard it, the heir of the Malfa Family immediately heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Sendros was willing to agree, that President Felic's fate would be sealed …
Actually, if it was possible, Hutton did not want to be enemies with this young President of the Guild of Magic. It was too dangerous to have such a person as an enemy.
Unfortunately, the two idiots, Harvey and Hahn, had actually made such a fatal mistake when he was not around. Now that he was in a difficult position, he had no choice but to use Sendros' power to silence them.
"Thank you, Master Sendros. If there's nothing else, Hutton will take his leave …"
This time, Sendros did not even bother to thank him, and closed his eyes to enter a state of meditation …
Fortunately, Hutton was already used to all this. After leaving the tent respectfully, he quickly got someone to invite Vanskore over.
"Sit down and talk." One was the heir of a family with a strong background in the underworld, while the other was the leader of a bandit group that relied on robberies for a living. Hutton and Vanskore were already very familiar with each other. In fact, Vanskore had always been involved in the Malfa Family's business in Doland and Roland City for the past 10 years.
Of course, this involvement had always been kept secret. After all, no matter how strong the Malfa Family's foundation was, they would not dare to openly associate themselves with the bandit group. Hence, many people did not know that the relationship between these two forces was actually much closer than it looked on the surface.
"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
"Nothing …" Hutton shook his head. "It's just a small problem that I need your help with."
"Tell me about it."
"It's like this …" This time, Hutton did not hide anything, and told Vanskore everything from the start. Of course, apart from the Immortal King's treasure map …
