Under Hutton's gaze, Harvey felt a chill run down his spine. In that instant, he felt as if he had been placed in an icehouse, and the chill seeped into his bones. He shivered unknowingly, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter how hard he tried.
"Are they all dead? Get two living people to bring the second young master away. I think he needs to reflect on himself," Hutton shouted coldly from afar.
Two servants stumbled over and practically carried Harvey, who was stiff as if he had been enchanted, away from the scene.
Hutton turned around, and awkwardly said to Lin Li, "Master Felic, I'm really sorry. I've been neglecting my younger brother. You …"
Before Hutton could finish, Lin Li waved his hand as if nothing had happened. He calmly said, "Let's go."
"… Yes, this way please." Hutton heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled bitterly in his heart. No wonder his immature younger brother was so hysterical. He didn't even attract Lin Li's attention. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to take it either.
Speaking of which, Lin Li had a good memory. Otherwise, people like Harvey wouldn't even have the right to occupy a corner of his memory. Otherwise, if he had asked Lin Li "who are you" just now, Harvey would have probably wanted to commit suicide.
Harvey's rash actions did not cause any ripples in the collaboration between the Malfa Family and Lin Li. Even if Lin Li really killed Harvey, the Malfa Family wouldn't hold it against him. Compared to an insignificant dandy, the benefits of the family were much higher.
Another two days passed, and the Malfa Family's team of Adventurers was finally organized, and all the resources were ready. There wasn't any departure ceremony, but a strong team that would make any force tremble left the Malfa Family's base in Aminya City, and headed towards the Haiga Mountain Range.
This time, Lin Li joined as a partner, and not as a low-level adventurer in the Blackstone Mountains as he had done previously. Now, Lin Li could enjoy the same treatment as Cheyenne in the team with his identity and status. He was young, and the Tower of Dusk was even younger. However, no one dared to question his status because he was a Legendary-mage.
Whenever the team stopped to rest, Cheyenne would invite Lin Li to discuss issues related to magic. Lin Li did not reject such an invitation. Although he had the Book of Eternity, there was no limit to knowledge. The experience of the God of Mages Geresco was irreplaceable, but as a Legendary-mage who had been in the Legendary-realm for many years, Cheyenne had many things that Lin Li could learn from him.
Of course, Cheyenne had actually learned a lot from Lin Li during the discussion. After all, the Book of Eternity that Lin Li had was the supreme treasure of magic. Even Cheyenne had a desire to make the journey longer.
During the discussion, Lin Li never kept anything to himself. As long as he could answer the question, he would answer it clearly to Cheyenne. This was his academic attitude. He could not worry about others surpassing him. That would only make him lazy and have no desire to improve. Moreover, no one knew what they would encounter on this trip to the Haiga Mountain Range. It would be beneficial for him if he could improve his partner's abilities.
As Cheyenne's students, Hutton and Adelo were undoubtedly very lucky. Although the two of them were only at the level of an Archmage, and there were many questions that they could not understand, they still benefited a lot from listening to the discussion between the two Legendary-mages. This was especially so for Hutton. Although he could not be compared to Lin Li, his talent in magic was rare and outstanding.
In the team of Adventurers, some people might have doubted Lin Li's abilities at first, and doubted the authenticity of the rumor that had been circulating in the Breezy Plains. However, after seeing how Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family treated this young Legendary-mage with respect, no one dared to doubt him anymore. In fact, some Archmages who did not belong to the Malfa Family even started to ask about joining the Tower of Dusk. This could be considered an unexpected gain for Lin Li in this mission. After all, Archmages were not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Although the team progressed very quickly, and the members of the team were all elites above level-15, it still took them a week to reach the Haiga Mountain Range. Because no one knew what they would encounter after entering the Haiga Mountain Range, they did not use any energy-consuming methods along the way.
When the team entered the Haiga Mountain Range, Lin Li could clearly feel that the team's speed had slowed down. Everyone was very cautious, especially those from the Malfa Family. They seemed to be very cautious at every step. Actually, it was easy to explain why the Malfa Family was being so cautious after understanding the distribution of forces in the Breezy Plains. Although this place was still a distance away from the real Haiga Mountain Range, it was already in the territory of the Dark Blade.
The Malfa Family and the Dark Blade were the two biggest forces in the Breezy Plains, and they had been at odds with each other for hundreds of years. Over the past several hundred years, the two forces had clashed countless times, big and small. It was only because their strength was not too different that one of them would have been uprooted long ago.
Speaking of which, the ancestors of the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade were actually the students of Geresco, the God of Mages. Such a relationship should have made the two families closer. But no one knew why, after so many years, they had reached the point where they could not coexist with each other.
Not to mention the people outside the two families, even the descendants of the two families didn't know how the hatred was born. Perhaps it was just a small conflict in the beginning, or maybe it was just a difference of opinion, but after thousands of years of accumulation, the hatred became deeper and deeper, and it seemed more and more difficult to resolve.
When Cheyenne of the Malfa Family stepped into the Legendary-realm, the first thing he did was to completely eradicate the Dark Blade from the Breezy Plains. Unfortunately, when Cheyenne thought that victory was in his grasp, the Dark Blade also happened to have a Legendary powerhouse, and all three of their leaders were in the Legendary-realm.
Hence, the Malfa Family's plan failed, and Cheyenne was forced to retreat to Aminya City, where he did not dare to leave for even a moment. If Cheyenne dared to leave Aminya, the entire Malfa Family would have to face the full attack of the Dark Blade. Under the attack of the three Legendary powerhouses, the Malfa Family would probably be destroyed in an instant. It was evident how much risk the Malfa Family had taken in this operation in the Haiga Mountain Range. Of course, it would not be the worst for the Malfa Family if that happened. After all, almost all of the Malfa Family's elites were gathered in this adventurer team.
Under such circumstances, the Malfa Family had to be extremely careful. No one knew what the Dark Blade would do if they found out about it. Perhaps they would attack Aminya City, or perhaps they would think of a way to sabotage this operation. No matter what the situation was, the Malfa Family definitely did not want that to happen.
"I'm sorry, Master Felic. We have no choice but to slow down in order to not be affected unnecessarily." After entering the Haiga Mountain Range, Hutton knew that he could not hide the change in their speed from Lin Li. In the past, no explanation would have been possible. However, things were different now. Even though the Malfa Family was the majority in this adventurer team, the power of a Legendary powerhouse was not something that could be balanced by numbers.
Hutton still felt a little awkward because the Malfa Family and the Dark Blade were enemies. Everyone in the Breezy Plains knew about it. Even though they had slowed down out of caution, it was easy for others to think that they were afraid of the Dark Blade.
In fact, if it were not for the fact that he was desperate to get Thunderbolt, Lin Li would have enjoyed the process of discussing magic with Master Cheyenne. Every Legendary-mage had their own unique views. Even though Geresco was known as the God of Mages, it did not mean that he had mastered all the mysteries of magic.
"I understand. You guys can make the arrangements for these matters." Even though Lin Li hoped to get Thunderbolt as soon as possible, he did not want any unforeseen events to happen along the way. There was a saying in the world where he had transmigrated: "More haste, less speed."
The sky was getting dark. The team stopped earlier than usual, and began to set up their camp in an open field. Although they were all experienced adventurers, it still took some time to settle down the camp of nearly two hundred people.
Bonfires were lit everywhere in the campsite, and tents were arranged neatly around them. The Adventurers were already used to such a lifestyle, and did not worry too much about entering the Haiga Mountain Range. They gathered with people they knew and ate their rations while chatting about their experiences in adventuring.
After dinner, Norfeller stood guard outside the tent. Lin Li took out the Book of Eternity from the Ring of Endless Storm, and combined the issues he had discussed with Cheyenne over the past few days with the contents in the Book of Eternity. He carefully read and pondered over the mysteries of magic. Every time Lin Li read the Book of Eternity, his respect for the God of Mages deepened.
Lin Li did not know what exactly was sealing Thunderbolt in the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range. However, he clearly knew that the power of that thing would not lose to Thunderbolt, which was the most lethal. He needed more power to face it, so he did not dare to let go of any spare time. Even if he could increase his strength a little, it would mean that he would have more confidence in the future.
