Speaking of which, the reason why Rob's group was ambushed today was because Raúl had his eyes on Lolo's Elven sword. If it weren't for the presence of Archmage, the adventurer team would have been annihilated today.
Rob didn't know how the Grade 2 Magician Apprentice would react when the news of Maria's death reached his ears. Would he be enraged? Would he seek revenge on them? Or would he continue to target the novice The Brave sword?
Either way, nothing good would come out of it.
Archmage didn't mind. A hundred people like Raúl would just be giving him free EXP. However, he wasn't at ease with Lolo. The novice The Brave sword couldn't even deal with the female assassin, let alone the more powerful Magician.
Although the world above ground was safer than the Underworld, the little girl would still be protected by the teachers of the Saint Roland Brotherhood Academy of Magic after arriving at Gudilesi University. However, this protection wouldn't last for 24 hours. As long as Raúl was patient enough, he would definitely find another opportunity.
"Tsk tsk, you're really worrisome."
The future Supreme Magician sighed. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a parting gift. Anyway, I'm planning to open a bakery or something, so I'll help her solve this problem. After all, before leaving the Underworld, I'll be the female swordsman's subordinate in name. It's my duty to help my boss solve her problems.
Rob felt that his current state was a little strange. He felt a little guilty. Usually, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't list out reasons one by one. His current actions seemed to be trying to hide something. However, the future Supreme Magician Your Honor didn't know what he was trying to hide.
In short, he just had to get rid of Raúl first.
He remembered that Maria had mentioned that their target from the beginning wasn't the so-called treasure, but the priceless Elven sword in Luo Luo's hand. If that was the case, why did Raul suddenly leave when they were about to reel in the net?
Well, unless he found something even more valuable. But what could be more valuable than an Elven sword on this level?
Rob quickly came up with an answer. The Matthews family's C-rank mission was something that the Viscount spent a lot of money to find after half a year. It definitely wouldn't be a common item.
However, Raúl and Maria weren't fools. Their abilities were decent among the low-level Adventurers and they were cunning enough, but they were nothing in the face of a true noble. Raúl was able to survive for so long despite being wanted by the Adventurers Guild, so he wasn't an idiot. They should know the consequences of offending the Matthews family.
Even so, seeing that the Archmage still resolutely chose to part ways with the female assassin and the others, the young man was somewhat curious. The C-rank commission from the Matthews family was extremely mysterious, and it was obvious that there was something fishy about it. Previously, Luo Bu did not want to be involved in this matter, but now, by coincidence, he seemed to be involved in this matter again.
The young man shrugged. Since he couldn't avoid it, he might as well help Reinhardt VII to see what the Ma family was up to.
The Archmage knew that Raúl should be nearby because it was risky for a Grade 2 Mage to act alone on the first floor. The Apprentice Mage shouldn't be too far away from his teammates. When Maria and the others were done with this mission, they could rush over to meet up with Raúl. In fact, if it wasn't for the discovery at the critical moment of closing the net, Raúl wouldn't have separated himself from the others. His action undoubtedly increased the probability of both sides encountering danger.
Think about it. If the Apprentice Mage was present, even if Rob got his hands on Edward's magic ring, he wouldn't be able to turn the tables so easily. When the future Supreme Magister Your Honor took out his own magic staff, no creature on the first floor could stop him.
Now, with the help of the Eye of the Highland, the young man quickly searched for traces of the Apprentice Mage. In less than two spells, Rob found Raúl's location.
The Apprentice Mage was standing at the entrance of a building that looked like a library. It seemed like a battle had just happened here. On the ground were the remains of three metal puppets and ten human corpses. It should be an adventurer team, including five The Brave and five followers. The strength of this group was not far from Hansen's team. Adventurers who could enter the inner city generally had some skills.
From the traces of battle on the scene, it was easy for a great sorcerer to reconstruct what had happened here. When this exploration team was exploring this library-like building, they had had a fierce encounter with three metal puppets. However, at the beginning, they did not panic. Under the command of their captain, they advanced and retreated, and everyone calmly faced the battle. Soon, they destroyed one metal puppet, followed by the second one … Just as they were about to win, an accident suddenly happened.
Raúl, who had been hiding for a long time, seized the opportunity to attack the adventurer team with a despicable method. He killed two people, including the captain of the team, in one fell swoop. The remaining people immediately panicked. On one hand, they dealt with the last metal puppet's attack, and on the other hand, they had to guard against the Apprentice Mage who was eyeing them covetously. Although they fought bravely for a while, they could not escape the fate of being completely annihilated in the end.
After that, Raúl spent a little more effort to kill the half-broken metal puppet.
He did not have the time to search for valuables from the corpses that were strewn all over the place. Magician Xi hurried into the building that looked like a library. About fifteen minutes later, the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor, also arrived. Rob canceled the Eye of the Highland above his head, pushed open the door and walked straight in.
The first floor was a circular hall that looked very grand. There was a marble relief above, and it was surrounded by huge bookshelves that were more than thirty meters high.
However, there was not a single book on the shelves, only a thick layer of dust. There were three paths between the bookshelves. The young man glanced at them casually, and without hesitation, chose the middle path because he saw a very hidden magic trap on that path.
Raúl was very cautious. He was used to sneaking up on others, so naturally he would always be on guard against sneak attacks. This magic trap was not very powerful, but if it was triggered, it would cause a lot of noise. It could serve as a warning, allowing the Apprentice Mage to prepare in advance.
Unfortunately, this time, Raúl encountered the top student of the Royal College of Magic and Magic — the future Supreme Magus, Your Honor. Rob only took less than five seconds to quietly break the magic trap. After that, the Archmage walked along the path unimpeded.
