Chapter 358: Reons Shock (2/2)

”...Are they your maids?” Reon asked with a wry smile on his face.

”Yes. Is there a problem?” Lawrend asked with a puzzled look on his face.

”There's too many of them. Leave some of them downstairs,” Reon replied.

”Aezel, Aleshia, and Kenova stay with me. For the rest, you can all stay downstairs. Don't make a mess, okay?” Lawrend ordered.

He needed Aezel for protection, and Aleshia was there because she was already familiar with Reon. As for Kenova, he will be the replacement if Reon disagrees.

”Yes, Master,” they all responded.

”Why do I have to listen to you, Lawrend?” Ramiela asked with a frown on her face.

She felt as if she was one of his maids lately as he was able to order her around.

”Stay then,” Lawrend calmly replied.

”She's not your maid?” Reon asked.

”She isn't. Anyways, where can we talk in private?” Lawrend asked.

”Follow me,” Reon replied.

He led them downstairs and into a staircase leading underground. There were light stones put on the ceiling to serve as a light source. They walked several meters underground before reaching a steel door.

Reon placed his palm on the center of the door, and a magic circle glowed on the door, and lines flowed outward.

”Open!” Reon shouted.

The steel door unlocked and slowly opened a small gap.

Seeing that it was done, Reon pushed the door open, and they entered inside it. There was a huge magic circle on the floor, and various magic materials were placed on shelves around the walls.

”This is…”

Lawrend stared at the room in awe. Just from looking at the magic materials, he could guess that this room contained most of the wealth of the Mage Guild.

”This is the heart of this city's defensive magic circle. We can discuss here in private,” Reon explained.

”Couldn't we have just talked in a normal room? We might break some things here,” Lawrend replied.

”That's not a worry. Unless you're an Arch Mage, it's very hard to destroy even one line of this magic circle,” Reon replied with a slight smug on his face.

”I guess this is better,” Lawrend replied and entered the room.

He looked down at the magic circle and analyzed it. But to no extent was he able to understand anything.

Knowledge of magic circles doesn't come from magical strength. It comes from learning that knowledge somewhere. So far, Lawrend had never studied magic circles.

”So what is it that you have to come here from the capital city?” Reon asked.

”I want you to be my follower and supporter,” Lawrend said.

”...”

Reon furrowed his eyebrows and stared at him in confusion. He was an Arch Mage, and he couldn't process why a High Mage was saying something so arrogant to him.

”Aezel, reveal yourself,” Lawrend said.

”Yes, Master,” Aezel replied.

She lowered her head and took off her mask slowly. She then raised her head and showed Reon her beautiful face. It was very familiar to Reon that he was never able to forget about it after recovering from their fight.

”Y-Y-You're siding with the demon!?” Reon exclaimed in disbelief.
