Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
rlin who was cloaked in a long black robe was trailing behind the guard in Count Selin’s castle.
Count Selin still looked the sa. He might have been worried about Prakash City recently, so he seed rather exhausted.
anwhile, there were two middle-aged n beside Count Selin. rlin squinted his eyes slightly and noticed that these two n were different. They were the sa as rlin; they were Spell Casters!
“Haha, it really is Baron rlin! When the guards inford , I didn’t believe it at first. Little did I thought Baron rlin will be back so soon. You’re back right on ti, and are a great aid to Prakash City!”
Count Selin imdiately stood up. After making sure the black-robed man was indeed rlin, he burst into a laughter. The more force he possessed at the mont, the higher the chance to resolve the danger of Prakash City.
Upon noticing that rlin was glancing at the two Spell Casters, Count Selin then introduced them. “Baron rlin, these two wizards have just co to Prakash City a few months ago. This is Wizard Freyr, a Three-Elental Spell Caster.”
After a pause, Count Selin took a glance at another Spell Caster and said, “This is Wizard Baires. He’s a Four-Elental Spell Caster and is extrely strong. He even escaped with ease from a First-level Spell Caster. It’s truly Prakash City’s blessing that Wizard Baires can join us.”
Count Selin obviously regarded Wizard Baires as an important person. As a roaming wizard, it was extrely difficult for him to construct Four-Elental spells.
rlin squinted his eyes and shot a glance at Wizard Baires. anwhile, Wizard Baires revealed a prideful expression. A smirk played on the edge of his mouth as he said in a calm tone, “I’ve heard of Wizard rlin’s na nurous tis in Prakash City. To et Wizard rlin now...”
Before Wizard Baires had finished his words, rlin interrupted him and asked calmly, “You’re Baires?”
Baires frowned slightly, but he was not enraged. He simply nodded.
“Swish!”
At the instant Wizard Baires nodded, rlin waved his hands and a pitch-black mist instantly appeared out of thin air. Not only did it shroud Wizard Baires, even the other Spell Caster, Wizard Freyr, was also enveloped by the mist.
“Dark Mist!”
rlin had cast Dark Mist. Baires had only escaped from a First-level Spell Caster. rlin did not even concern himself with a First-level Spell Caster, not to ntion Baires.
These two Spell Casters were simply roaming wizards. Their Mind Power was not strong; they did not even have the Mind Power of a Second-level Spell Caster. Thus, both easily fell into the illusion of Dark Mist.
Count Selin was shocked and quickly yelled, “Wizard rlin, stop quickly...”
However, rlin did not care about Count Selin. Five fist-sized fireballs, releasing scorching heat, appeared in front of him.
“Go!”
rlin pointed to the front. At once, these fireballs rapidly dived into the mist, then rlin’s gaze revealed a hint of cold killing intent.
“Explode!”
The fireballs exploded and the furious fla almost blew the mist away. Even from afar, one could feel the scorching heat of the furious fla.
rlin turned around with an unchanged expression. He said in a calm tone, “Count Selin!”
Count Selin wore a complicated look as he took a glance at rlin. After Dark Mist had dissipated, Baires’ body was already unrecognizable.
The strong Spell Caster whom Count Selin had high hopes to defend against Lebis City could not even take one hit from rlin. At this ti, Count Selin seed to recall the strength of spellcasters’ organization.
The current rlin was much stronger than that when he fought against rilung!
“This...”
Count Selin was full of bitterness. Looking at rlin, he was speechless.
Another Spell Caster, Wizard Freyr, was also shrouded by Dark Mist. He looked at Wizard Baires’ body, dumbfounded. Following that, he looked at rlin, his gaze filled with shock.
Wizard Freyr clearly knew how strong Wizard Baires was. Thus, even though Wizard Freyr did not like Wizard Baires, he kept it to himself because he did not dare to take any action.
Wizard Freyr also knew about the things Wizard Baires had done to the Wilson family after he arrived at Prakash City. After witnessing rlin killing Wizard Baires effortlessly, he understood that rlin who had joined the Dark Magic Region was much stronger than he had imagined.
“Wizard rlin, I’m also dissatisfied about what Baires had done before. I hope that Wizard rlin will understand!”
As a roaming wizard, Wizard Freyr naturally knew what he would have to say at this ti.
rlin waved his hands and took a thoughtful glance at Wizard Freyr. A smile played on his face. “Of course I understand, otherwise, Baires won’t be the only body on the ground.”
A chill went down on Wizard Freyr’s spine. At the instant he was shrouded by Dark Mist, he completely lost his sense of direction. It was as if his whole being was drowned by an endless darkness. He knew that he had fallen into an illusion, but there was nothing that he could do.
If rlin wanted to kill him, it would only take him a spell to do so.
Count Selin appeared rather awkward now. rlin’s strength had overco his expectations. Initially, Wizard Baires kept showing off in front of him about how strong he was. He showed so of his spells and they were indeed impressive. Even Wizard Freyr was willing to obey Wizard Baires.
However, he did not expect the strong Wizard Baires to be easily killed by rlin. In fact, he knew all about the things Baires had done at Wilson Castle. He could still use Baires, so he did not stop him.
However, upon witnessing rlin’s strength now, Count Selin regretted his actions.
“Baron rlin, Wizard Baires willingly joined Prakash City. I can’t stop so of the things he did...”
Before even finishing his sentence, he was interrupted by rlin. rlin glared at Count Selin and warned him in a cold tone, “Count Selin, for whatever reason, I hope this is the first and the last ti!”
Count Selin was not pleased as rlin was seriously warning him now. He was the count who controlled the large Prakash City-state...
However, Count Selin also noticed that rlin was not the sa as before. The terrifying aura from rlin made his skin crawl with fear. rlin seed to be much stronger than rilung back then.
Thus, although he was rather displeased by rlin’s threatening tone, he still flashed a forced smile. “Baron rlin, please be rest assured that the matter with Wizard Baires won’t happen again.”
After having Count Selin’s promise, rlin nodded. He did not pressure Count Selin further. After all, these things were difficult to avoid. If the Wilson family wanted to stay in Prakash City, they would still need to rely on Count Selin to completely adapt here.
After this, Count Selin would feel threatened and fearful. In the future, even if rlin left Prakash City, Count Selin would not allow such matter like that with Baires to happen again.
“Alright. When I returned, I noticed the tension in Prakash City. Count Selin, what’s the matter?”
rlin asked with doubt.
Upon ntioning of the matter of Prakash City, the displease in Count Selin’s heart rapidly disappeared. Although Baires was dead, the stronger rlin had returned – this was a great news to Count Selin.
Thus, Count Selin explained in detail about the dispute between Prakash City and Lebis City.
“All these years, although Lebis City has small disputes with Prakash City, we’re still rather peaceful. However, half a year ago, after Count Talon had died and his son Longardi had inherited the count’s title, he began to expand his army without restraint. He even intentionally caused so frictions between the two city-states.
“Then, Longardi beca even more reckless. He began to send spies to hide sneakily outside of Prakash City to monitor the people coming in and out of Prakash City, rendering many rchants to avoid Prakash City out of fear.
“I can still take it if it’s only this. However, a month ago, Longardi sent his army to forcefully invade a small town of Prakash City-state. He was obviously starting a war!”
It could be seen that Count Selin was extrely enraged. Anxiety flashed in his eyes, albeit he tried to hold it in. He was afraid that his force could not stand against Lebis City.
“If there are disputes between city-states, why didn’t you ask for the King’s judgnt?”
rlin asked Count Selin. Although he had not spent a long ti in Prakash City, he still knew of the unruly system of city-states in the Kingdom of Blackmoon. However, since the force of the royal family of the Kingdom of Blackmoon was too large, all city-states did not dare to oppose the order of the royal family.
Thus, if there were disputes amongst the city-states, they could ask for the judgnt of the royal family. This was a great solution to many issues between city-states.
“King’s judgnt?”
Count Selin smiled bitterly as he shook his head. “I’ve already done that but Longardi is serving the eighth prince of the royal family now. My request was held down by the eighth prince as soon as it reached the royal family. So, I can’t rely on the King’s judgnt.”
rlin suddenly felt annoyed. He was too lazy to mind about such a complicated relationship. Whether there was the influence of the royal family, rlin would not let the Wilson family move again. The entire Wilson family had already had a hard ti previously, travelling to Prakash City from Blackwater City.
They had a stable life now after much difficulty hence rlin would not allow such matter to happen again.
“Count Selin, tell honestly. Longardi is so confident with his actions. I’m afraid there are other reasons besides having the advantage of army strength, isn’t there?”
rlin stared straight into Count Selin’s eyes. He knew that Count Selin would have his reasons to think so highly of Baires. It might have sothing to do with the dispute between Lebis City and Prakash City.
