Chapter 597: “…”
Murin was silent.
The others… were also silent.
They silently looked at Murin with thoughtful expression. Even though no one said anything, their thinking was extrely consistent right now.
‘Could it be…. Murin launched that naive and stupid rebellion because he’s innately stupid?’
“You…” Murin saw their gazes and his face turned red in anger. He wanted to yell that he was not stupid but at the sa ti, he felt that even if he were to yell about this matter, it would not be of any use.
These people didn’t really care about it.
“Rather than pointing fingers to others, why don’t you tell them the formation needed to make contract with magic beasts instead of just telling it to the magic association. Are you worried that there will be soone as talented as you?” Riya asked back calmly.
She herself had already shared the basic runes and so on. If people wanted to beco a rune master, they just had to start learning from what Riya had shared.
The others had also shared their knowledge one way or another.
“There’s no way I’ll sell those things… Don’t you also know how to make it?” Murin frowned and looked at Riya.
“I know.” Riya glanced at Murin with an indifferent expression. “So, would you like to be the one to negotiate with the governnt or would you like to take this matter in your hands?”
It was both threats and temptation.
Murin could sense it from within Riya’s words and took a deep breath.
No one who could survive for four years in that world would be a simple person. Moreover, the first ti Riya showed herself on the surface and confronted them was when she had already reached rank 6.
At this rank, she already had many tricks that they couldn’t face so easily.
A rune master is hard to deal with.
This was mainly because they have various tricks that they could use when they were dealing with other people. The longer it took, the more formation plates that they could possibly prepare along with various other talisman and magic scrolls…
Just the picture of Riya throwing 1000 magic scrolls to fight him had already made Murin felt sowhat numb.
He didn’t dare to think about that picture.
“…I’ll tell them myself,” Murin finally said.
Samuel glanced at Riya and rubbed his face sightly. All along, Riya has been very easy going when dealing with him and the higher ups. This gave them the impression that Riya was easy to talk to and didn’t have much desire.
Or it was more like, she didn’t know the real value of the things in her hand and willing to give it out at the lower price than what they estimated it could be.
But right now, Samuel was seeing a completely different side of Riya.
The side that she would only show when she felt that she was being threatened and that soone was trying to cross the line of defense that she had drawn.
It was quite terrifying.
“I see.” Riya glanced at Murin and then looked at the other three people who were watching from the walls. Her expression didn’t change and still looked as impassive as ever, but the three people didn’t dare to underestimate Riya.
If they dared to provoke her, she might take out sothing that they valued and forced them to take it out for the governnt.
Or she might use other ans to threaten them.
‘Never ever underestimate a rune master’s knowledge.’
Rune master usually has extensive knowledge. Coupled with the fact that these rune masters were close to the ‘mystery’ of the mana and magic through runes, it was obvious that these people also have good mory.
Many people didn’t want to offend rune masters for so reasons.
In that world, there were not many people who dared to offend a rune master, especially a rune master who had already reached rank 6.
Unless they themselves were already so powerful that they could ignore all kind of ans from the rune master.
But their current strength…
It was definitely far from enough.
Riya had just demonstrated a little bit about what would happen to them if they dared to try offending her.
“I don’t want to be in the sa place with the five of you,” Murin finally said his goal.
He felt that it would be a waste of ti to cooperate together with these five people. Moreover, he didn’t trust them and didn’t want to leave his back to them.
What if they suddenly felt that he was a threat and planned to kill him silently?
Murin felt that it would be better for him to work alone before such a thing happened.
“No one really want to cooperate openly with you either,” Peter complained and then yawned. “And I myself had no interest to stay in the sa place with you.”
Most of the ti, they would not stay in one place either.
After all, Peter ca from the Martial Arts Association while Murin ca from the Magic Association.
For them to stay in one place without quarreling with each other was actually already a feat in itself.
“This mission…”
“This mission was originally an exception,” Samuel interrupted before Murin started to talk nonsense. “No one can force you to do what you don’t want to do. Or are you saying that the Magic Association can control you, Murin?”
When this question was asked, five pairs of eyes were staring at Murin intently.
They were not stupid and understood the implication behind Samuel’s words.
While it didn’t seem to be likely that the Magic Association could control Murin, but there might be so other secrets within the Magic Association for it to be able to influence Murin’s decision.
“Of course not.” Murin rolled his eyes.
Those old fogey would be dreaming if they think that they could control him.
But…
“I just don’t like conflicts,” Murin answered calmly.
The others: “…”
