Hutton was shocked, and subconsciously looked towards Lin Li, afraid that Lin Li had heard what he had said. Seeing that there was no reaction from Lin Li, he heaved a sigh of relief and glared at Yeric. "Shut up, we're allies. How can you do such a thing? You'd better forget about that thought right now."
Hutton was indeed jealous of the mages from the Tower of Dusk, but he reminded himself that Felic was a monster. How could a 20-year-old Legendary-mage be offended so easily? He knew that Yeric had good intentions, and it was not wrong to use this idea on others. If he led everyone away, who would be able to escape from the siege of 10 level-18 Archmages and four Alchemy Colossuses? However, Felic was a monster. Even if others could not escape, it did not mean that he could not.
Damn it, where did the decisive young master go? Who was the one who would stare at Lin Li's men as if they were beauties? Yeric was very indignant. It was rare for him to come up with such a good idea, but this young master still wanted to talk about alliance. In this day and age, how many people cared about relationships? Weren't allies meant to be betrayed!?
"Young Master, I am just thinking for the sake of the Malfa Family. Although the President of the Tower of Dusk is a cowardly and incompetent person, the mages under him are really good. If we can recruit them, then this trip would not be in vain," Yeric continued to persuade.
"Shut up!" Hutton was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body. He gritted his teeth and squeezed his voice out. Damn it, what do you mean by cowardly and incompetent? Even the two Lords of the Abyss of Tharlen had fallen in his hands. What else could he not dare to do? Poach my men? Damn it, I'll thank God if he doesn't poach my men.
Yeric was very puzzled by Hutton's behavior. He could not help but think that there must be some secret between Young Master Hutton and that President Felic. Otherwise, why would Young Master Hutton always protect that guy? Seeing that he couldn't persuade Hutton to change his mind, Yeric could only settle for the next best thing. Even if he didn't poach Hutton's men, he couldn't afford to lose all his men here. "Young Master Hutton, no matter what, we have to retreat. We can't leave all the elites of the family here. If it really comes to that, how are you going to explain it to the elders?"
This time, they didn't have a good relationship with the Elder Council. Even if Yeric was right, if they really killed all the elites of the family here, the elders would have something to say when they returned. Hutton looked at the battlefield hesitantly. The mages of his team and the Tower of Dusk were struggling to hold on. The enemy had completely suppressed them, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed. Looking at the other side, he saw the injured mages from the two families. What made him feel resentful was that most of them were from the Malfa Family, and there were only three from the Tower of Dusk.
"Young master, give the order, we can't delay any longer!" Alec cried anxiously.
Hutton slowly raised his hand, and slammed it down heavily under Yeric's gaze. However, the words that came out of his mouth made him faint. Hutton's voice was a little hoarse, but his attitude was firm. "Hold on a little longer. Let's all work together to overcome this crisis. When we return, I, Hutton, will definitely not mistreat you."
"Young —" Alec wanted to persuade Hutton again, but was interrupted by a voice that came from the side.
"Luckily, we can make it in time …"
Finally, Lin Li finished the last stroke, and connected the Disintegrating Array with the magical crystal at the tip of the Sunset Magic Staff. Following that, light seemed to flow into the Disintegrating Array through the writing. The 24 nodes that surrounded the staff lit up one after another. The translucent silver substance that connected the nodes of the Disintegrating Array emitted a faint silver glow as the light flowed through. ,
Not long after Lin Li had arrived in Jarrosus, he had formed a feud with the local mage family, and had arranged a duel with them. Before the duel, he had used deep silver to create a metal rod, and it was with that metal rod that he managed to nullify his opponent's transcending magic. However, it was originally not something used for fighting, so it was not used much. In a proper battle with a mage, who would allow you to use a rod to hit the opponent's rod?
The effect of the Disintegrating Array was actually similar to that of the gold rod. It was also not a proper method of fighting. Although there had been people who used it for a period of time in the history of alchemy, it was basically a supplementary item. It should be considered as a production skill.
However, there was no mandatory rule on what an item could be used for. A kitchen knife could be used to chop vegetables or people, a massager could be used to massage or do other things. Now, in Lin Li's hands, the Disintegrating Array was no longer a skill to help people save money.
"Yo, you're finally awake. You woke up at the right time. If you were any later, you would have to stay here alone." Because of Lin Li, Alec had been reprimanded by Hutton a few times. If his resentment could be manifested, it would probably be similar to the smoke signal in the sky.
"President Felic, you're finally done with your work. I'm sure you can see the current situation without me introducing it to you. Do you have any plans for the next step?" Hutton asked Lin Li anxiously after glaring at Yeric.
Alec was rather dissatisfied with his young master now, so he pretended not to see Hutton's glare. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, President Felic, we're waiting for you to turn the situation around. Do you think we can let our people retreat first?"
"Alec, shut up!" Hutton shouted in fear. He cursed in his heart. F * ck, if you want to die, go ahead. Don't drag the Malfa Family down with you!
"Young Master, wake up. Do you really expect him to turn the situation around? Who knows how he became the President? He definitely didn't rely on his own abilities. Look at his performance just now. His subordinates and allies are fighting for their lives. It's fine if he doesn't do anything himself, but he even passed the command to someone else. What can he do!? "Alec was furious, and his tone was not pleasant when he spoke to Hutton. What a joke. Even if Master Cheyenne was here, it would not be easy to deal with these enemies. Especially those four Alchemy Colossuses. Even a Legendary-mage would have a headache dealing with them because they were too sturdy. He was just a 20-year-old kid. Even if he was a genius, he would at most have the abilities of an Archmage. What difference would it make if he didn't do anything?
Hutton's expression was not pleasant to look at. How could his subordinate talk to him like that? He was also worried that Alec's words would offend President Felic. Regardless of whether it would bring trouble to the family, it would be a wasted trip.
Hutton was so angry that he was trembling. He was about to raise his magic staff and smash it at Alec. However, just as he raised his magic staff, he saw that Alec's face had turned pale. He was shivering non-stop as if he had seen something terrifying.
Hutton thought to himself, Damn it, weren't you yelling happily just now? You even asked me to wake up. Why are you acting like an idiot now?
However, Hutton quickly understood. A figure was flying forward from his side. It was President Felic, who had been busy with something just now.
Alec was on the verge of breaking down. Or rather, he had already broken down. He was just standing there instinctively. He did not expect that the cowardly and useless President Felic was actually … actually a f * cking Legendary-mage.
An Archmage could only use the Levitation Spell to fly, but it was different for a Legendary-mage. Alec looked at the other party seriously. He did not even recite a spell. The magical wave on his body did not change. He just flew up naturally as if it was his instinct.
He had offended a Legendary-mage! The person he had been mocking for half a day was actually a Legendary-mage! A 20-year-old President was actually a Legendary-mage! One incredible piece of information after another was like a heavy hammer pounding on Yeric's fragile nerves. He didn't know when his nerves would be broken.
Alec regretted it now. Although the Malfa Family had a Legendary-mage like Master Cheyenne, would he become enemies with a Legendary-mage for an ant like him? As a member of a large family, he had seen many conflicts of interest between large families. He knew that the final outcome of this matter would most likely be him being sacrificed to appease the other party's anger. But who could he blame? He was the one who had caused this. Hutton had tried to stop him several times, but he was so angry that he could not see anything.
Hutton was slightly relieved when he saw Lin Li flying towards the battlefield. Even an ordinary Legendary-mage might not be able to win against four Alchemy Colossuses and 10 level-18 Archmages. However, was President Felic an ordinary Legendary-mage? He was a demon. Anyone who treated him as an ordinary person would be at a disadvantage.
Since President Felic had made his move, Hutton did not have to worry about what he was going to do. Hutton did not have to worry about the battle, but when he glanced at Alec, who was still standing there in a daze, he got angry again. "Alec, what do you think of my dream? Am I awake or not?"
It was a nightmare. He really wished he was having a nightmare! Alec felt like dying now. He only remembered that he had not only offended the Legendary-mage, but also Young Master Hutton. He groaned in his heart. Damn it, now there's no one to speak up for me.
"Alec, aren't you good at talking? Why are you mute!?" Hutton got angrier the more he thought about it. It was not only because Alec had been disrespectful to him, but also because he was worried that his relationship with President Felic had been ruined by this bastard.
"Young Master Hutton, I, I, I … I really did not know that President Felic was a Legendary-mage …"
"Damn it, now that you know you're wrong, what were you doing earlier? Hmph! " Hutton snorted coldly. "If you want to apologize, wait for President Felic to come back. You can apologize to him yourself."
But an apology might not work … Hutton added in his heart. Hutton was very clear about that young President Felic's character. He would not stoop to your level, and would not even bother to talk to you. He would smile at you no matter what you did, but if you really took it seriously, you'd better pray for your own good. An apology? Even kowtowing would not work …
The young President Felic was actually a Legendary-mage! Yeric wasn't the only one who was shocked by this fact. Even the people from the Tower of Dusk were shocked. Even the God of Mages, Geresco, did not reach the Legendary-realm at the age of 20.
