Charles's attitude immediately changed dramatically as he thought about it. He lowered his chin and bowed humbly. The arrogance on his face had disappeared, and was replaced by a look of fear. He asked Sienna in a trembling voice, "S-Captain Sienna, can you … can you let me know who this esteemed mage is …"
Sienna feared Mage Felic from the bottom of his heart. Even though Lin Li did not show any signs of displeasure, he knew very well that Mage Felic could kill him with a flick of his finger. The top mercenary corps in Roland City was nothing in front of Mage Felic. Just a Lich that could summon a Humerus Wyrm was enough to destroy the mercenary corps that Sienna had painstakingly built.
Sienna hated Charles to the core. Even though he was usually polite, he would not care about the Seven Leaf Grass if he was the one being dragged down. Sienna's emotions erupted like a volcano when he heard Charles asking him humbly. "If you f * cking want to die, go ahead! Don't drag me down with you! Do you think your stupid herb shop is so great? You've offended Mage Felic. Even if you have the real Seven Leaf Grass, you won't be able to save your pathetic life, do you understand?! "
Charles was a man of status in Roland City, and yet he was being reprimanded by a young man in his twenties. However, he did not dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled and responded with "yes, yes, yes" no matter what Sienna scolded him.
It was indeed impressive to serve an esteemed pharmacist, but the pharmacist would not help Charles escort the merchants. Furthermore, the pharmacist was only paying for the herbs, and did not owe him a favor. This relationship was just to raise his own status. The bandits blocking the road wouldn't care about this.
He had no choice, as he had a favor to ask of Sienna. Only Sienna's mercenary corps had the ability to accept this mission, and Charles had gone through a lot of trouble to get Sienna to agree to accept this mission. Furthermore, even though Sienna was a Warrior, he was favored by Castellan Arathor. In Roland City, be it in terms of strength or influence, Charles, a medicinal herb merchant, did not dare to underestimate him.
The more Sienna scolded him, the more afraid Charles was. He knew very well that Sienna's behavior meant that Sienna had an uncontrollable fear in his heart. It was fear, not apprehension. There was a huge difference between the two. If the person Lin Li had offended had merely made Sienna wary, Sienna would at most lower his stance and help Lin Li reconcile with the other party by saying that it was a misunderstanding. But now, Sienna's attitude was to draw a clear line between himself and Lin Li as he was afraid of being involved. Who were those four Mages dressed in crude clothes? How could they make Sienna so afraid?
At the thought of this, Charles' face turned pale, and the cold sweat on his back soaked his clothes. When Sienna finally caught his breath, he hurriedly asked in a trembling voice, "Captain Sienna, you're right. It's all my fault! Please calm down first. For the sake of our past friendship, tell me the background of these four noble sorcerers that I've offended, so that I can die with a clear understanding. "
"Relationship? Don't f * cking talk about relationship. If I knew that I would be dragged down by a stupid fella like you, I would never have accepted this mission. I'm so f * cking unlucky! " Sienna wanted to ignore this matter, but he had already been dragged down. Even if it was for his own sake, he would definitely be dragged down if things really got out of hand.
"Captain Sienna." Charles looked at Sienna with a bitter expression, not even daring to move his gaze away.
"Damn it, Charles, prick up your ears and listen carefully!" Sienna glanced at Lin Li and the rest carefully to make sure that his actions did not displease the terrifying Mage Felic. Only then did he grit his teeth and say to Charles, "Where's your shrewdness in the past? There are countless mercenary corps in Roland City, why did you have to look for me for this mission!?"
"Your mercenary group's strength is second to none in Roland City. My request this time is too difficult, and only your mercenary group has the strength to ensure the safety of my caravan." Charles quickly flattered him with a smile.
"Alright, you know that only my mercenary corps has the ability to accept your mission, but do you know who I was a year ago? Do you know how I managed to grow from an unknown mercenary to where I am now in just a year? "Sienna asked, almost poking Charles' nose with his finger.
Charles did not dare to dodge, and tried his best to squeeze out a smile. "Of course it's because of your leadership, Captain Sienna …"
"Don't f * cking smile at me. Do you think I don't know what people are saying? Aren't they saying that I got to where I am today because of the castellan's support? That's right, I said that I have the castellan's support, but why did he support me? "
"Now, many bards are singing about how you led your loyal subordinates and saved the castellan's daughter and young master from the hands of the Syer Bandits." Businessmen always said whatever they saw. In order to please Sienna and get him to accept his mission, Charles had listened to almost all the versions of the story sung by the bards. Now, it was finally time to use it.
"It's all f * cking bullsh * t. Let me tell you today, if not for this Mage Felic, my brothers and I would have become f * cking magical beast sh * t. Save them? With your knowledge, you should know what an Ice Howler is. "Sienna could not help but shiver when he recalled the scene that day.
"Ice Howler! Are you talking about the magical beast Ice Howler? "
Charles swallowed his saliva with difficulty. That was the descendant of the legendary ancient magical beast, and a terrifying magical beast with savage blood flowing in its body. Although he had never seen an Ice Howler, the horror of it was mentioned in many materials. Its incomparably strong physical strength and innate ice element magic were definitely a nightmare for anyone who met it.
The most recent and reliable piece of information was a military log from Roland City. It recorded that a few years ago, Castellan Arathor had led his army deep into the Dragon Mountains to encircle the Syer Bandits. Along the way, they met an Ice Howler, and the entire operation ended in failure.
Charles knew that even if Sienna gathered all his forces now, he might not be able to win against an Ice Howler, much less the Sienna from a year ago. So how did Sienna survive that crisis a year ago? Could it be …? Charles thought of the reason why Sienna told him this. Could it be that the Mage Felic he mentioned killed the Ice Howler and saved them?
"Do you mean that it was Mage Felic who killed the Ice Howler?" Charles asked softly, feeling incredulous. The Ice Howler that even Castellan Arathor and his elite army could not deal with could be killed by a mage in his twenties?
"No, Mage Felic did not do anything," Sienna said as he shook his head.
Hearing Sienna's answer, Charles could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He thought to himself, What kind of ability does the Ice Howler have? That Mage Felic looks so young, how could he kill it? Maybe he used some method to lure the Ice Howler away. After all, no matter how strong a magical beast is, it cannot be compared to a human's intelligence.
The slight change in Charles' expression did not escape Sienna's eyes. He sneered, and said, "The one who killed the Ice Howler was Mage Felic's follower, the one who captured Larry just now."
"Ahem!" Charles almost couldn't catch his breath. What kind of joke was this? That pale guy had actually killed an Ice Howler? I even took Larry from him just now! Now, he finally understood what it meant to be reckless. Charles even felt a chill in his throat. If he had known that Felic had killed an Ice Howler before, he would not have cared about Larry's life or death.
"Why? Are you afraid now? Do you think this is the end of it?" Sienna looked at Charles mockingly, and said slowly, "Do you know what a Humerus Wyrm looks like? Do you know how strong a Lich with a Humerus Domain is? "
As Sienna asked, Charles' body visibly trembled, and there was even a clear sound of his teeth chattering. Charles had indeed not seen a Humerus Wyrm before, but in this world, anything that was related to a Wyrm had one thing in common — it was powerful. Charles did not have a clear idea of how strong a Lich with a Humerus Domain was, but having a domain meant that it was in the Legendary-realm. In the eyes of ordinary people, a Legendary powerhouse was like a god.
"You … You mean …" Charles did not dare to imagine what Sienna was going to say. Was he going to say that the Humerus Wyrm and the Lich in the Legendary-realm were killed by that mage Felic?! What a joke! How could a Legendary powerhouse be killed so easily? How old was that Mage Felic? How could he kill a Legendary powerhouse so easily?! God, did I offend the incarnation of a god? I wonder if that damned Larry is still alive. If not, I must kill him with my own hands.
