"So you're a member of the Matthews family. No wonder you and Maria are safe and sound despite being wanted by the Adventurers Guild in so many places," Rob said.
Seeing that Archmage Xi had just made a fatal mistake, the first thing most people would suspect when encountering an unimaginably powerful enemy was an opposing force. Raul was no exception. When Archmage Xi heard Raul's words, he easily deduced that Archmage Xi and the female assassin were actually working for the Mathews family, based on his understanding of the various noble forces.
This explained a lot of things. All these years, Raúl had been working for the Matthews family in secret.
Large families like these would more or less have some shady dealings and needed to nurture some forces outside of the family. In return, the Matthews family would provide them with protection. Of course, the protection was done secretly, but with the current power of the Matthews family, even if it was just a covert help, it was still a considerable amount.
Raul had been eyeing the Elven sword in Loluo's hand for a long time, so he sent Beck to infiltrate the team as a spy. He wanted to wait for them to enter the underground city before making his move. However, when he was in the camp, he received a message from an Elven archer, saying that the team now had clues about the secret treasure.
Of course, it would be great if he could make more money. No one would complain about having too much money. So, Magician Xi decided to delay his plan until the rookie Braveman's team got the treasure. He wanted to kill two birds with one stone. At this time, Raul received an order from the Matthews family. They wanted him to enter the underground city and search for an item.
Raúl didn't think much of it. In fact, it had been more than half a year since the disappearance of the Matthews family. The Matthews family had no clues, so they had no choice but to issue a C-level mission through the Adventurers Guild. They hoped to use a large number of adventurers to find a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Raul did not have to worry that this matter would affect his hunting. Anyway, he just needed to pay a little attention along the way. He did not expect that he would really find something. The Matthews family's tactic of using numbers to overwhelm the enemy had worked. A small team had accidentally found a clue.
Raúl was overjoyed. He knew how important this matter was to the Matthews family. If he could find the item and return it to Viscount Megerson, he would receive a lot of benefits. On the other hand, the Elven sword in the hands of The Brave team was valuable. Most importantly, in order to obtain the sword, Raúl and his team had done a lot of preparation and homework. Now that it was time to close the net, it would be a pity to give up now.
Other than Maria, the others were recruited by him on the spot. These people didn't know about his relationship with the Matthews family. They naturally saw the C-level mission in front of the camp. Although the reward was generous, it couldn't be compared to the Elven sword. Even if Raúl wanted them to let go and follow him, they wouldn't be willing.
Hence, after some thought, Xi Magician decided to split up. They had done a lot of research on Luo Luo's adventurers, so they had a pretty good understanding of the strength of Luo Luo's adventurers. When the time came, the undercover Baker would make the first move. As long as he killed one of the Tier 2 adventurers, even if Xi Magician wasn't around, the rest of the adventurers should be more than enough to deal with them. In comparison, Raul's team was undoubtedly more dangerous. Xi Magician had to face an entire adventurer team by himself. Such a challenge was not easy even for a Magician. Fortunately, Raul had enough patience and cunning. In the end, she defeated the target team without any mishaps. However, to the Apprentice Magician's surprise, a problem occurred on Maria's side.
There was actually such a powerful Magician hidden in Brave's team!!!
Raul felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled how effortlessly the youth had cast a Tier-3 Spell. He finally believed the Great Magician's words. With Maria and the others' strength, they were no match for the youth at all. He was afraid that they were already dead by now.
Unlike those nerds who only focused on studying magic, Magician Xi was very familiar with the complicated relationships between nobles. With just a simple sentence, he was able to guess the relationship between Magician Xi and the Matthews family.
Perhaps the only consolation was that Magician Xi's reaction indicated that the young man wasn't a member of the Joel family.
Since his identity had been exposed, there was no need for Raul to hide anymore. Although he was amazed by Zhang Heng's spell-casting speed, the thin magic wall around him gave him a sense of security. Seeing that Zhang Heng was a magician, Raul decided to try to negotiate with Zhang Heng. "Hey, boy over there, since we can't do anything to each other, why don't we both take a step back? I won't hold you accountable for killing my teammates, and in return, you can pretend that you didn't see me. Oh, yes, you've seen the C-level commission in front of the camp, right? The two corpses beside me belong to the young master of the Matthews family, and the other is the guard captain. There are ten corpses of other guards in this library. If you bring them out of the underground city and hand them over to Viscount Mason's youngest son, you can get at least 170 gold coins as a reward. If that's not enough, there's still the adventurer team outside the door. There are a few of them who are quite strong, and their corpses should have some valuable items. If you want them, you can take them as well."
"Oh, then it seems that the compass you just put in your pocket is very precious. For that compass, you are willing to give up everything else."
Raúl really wanted to slap himself. He knew that Magician Xi's insight was amazing, and he had just suffered a loss in this aspect. With just a short sentence, Magician Xi had guessed his hidden identity. In the end, he didn't improve at all. Now, he even revealed how much he valued the ring.
