Chapter 334 - Choice (1/2)

Yellow Mage was holding back his temper to finish listening to Joshua’s speech. But, after hearing what Joshua said, he was unable to keep his stern expression in check.

If the demon before him didn’t know about the corruption brought upon by the movies and the Voice of Norland, Yellow Mage would be able to steel his heart to weed out all those things from Norland at once.

But, Joshua not only knew about the negative influences of his creations, he even openly declared that he also wished to change the negative detrimental influences from his creations.

When looking from a certain point of view, this demon had the same sort of motive as Yellow Mage.

“You are correct, Joshua… We, as pioneers, must guide the mages far away from those dangerous temptations.”

Yellow Mage slowly raised the tea cup in his hand. After drinking all the tea in the cup, he placed the cup back on the desk.

Then, when this Sage raised his head, a dense cold sensation enveloped Joshua’s body. It seemed like tiny electric currents had seized Joshua’s clothes. The sound of soft electric crackles could be heard beside Joshua’s ears the entire time.

“Unfortunately, the only cure I could think of would be eliminating them like how we’ve eliminated magic craving crystals back then,” Yellow Mage’s tone was extremely flat. But, the air he gave off now was completely different from before. He was staring at the young demon across from him.

“Addiction is a poison that can take root in one’s mind. If they’re not completely uprooted, they wouldn’t be eliminated!”

At this moment, Joshua finally felt the imposingness of a Sage. The power contained in Yellow Mage’s aged body was simply immeasurable.

“In that case, Yellow Mage, you are free to give it a try.”

A small amount of gray magic power started spilling out from Joshua’s body. In an instant, the electric currents flowing through his clothes disappeared.

In an instant, the scent of danger filled the room. Standing behind Joshua, Ciri was already tightly holding onto her staff. Saik who stood beside Yellow Mage was also prepared to intervene to calm the two parties.

“Furthermore, I have not come here to plea for your leniency. I am purely here to present to you this invitation letter. The details are written in the letter. If you’re interested, you can reach me through Gray Mage at any time.”

Joshua had no desire to waste time and energy to confront this Sage. He directly stood up and placed his left hand on his chest to give a mage-style bow of courtesy toward Yellow Mage. Then, he left the room with Ciri.

“Teacher, you shouldn’t have scared them away.”

After seeing that Joshua and Ciri had left the room, Saik heaved a sigh. The aura emitted by Yellow Mage earlier was simply too terrifying. Even he, a senior law enforcer and the current chief, couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerating and his breathing becoming difficult.

No matter how one looked at this, it would all seem like Yellow Mage was forcing them to leave.

“Scared away? Chaos Demons do not fear any mages,” Yellow Mage turned to look at the invitation letter on the desk. He felt the urge to raise his tea cup to drink a sip. But, when he did so, he discovered that his tea cup was already empty.

“Teacher, what are you feeling apprehensive about?”

Saik immediately refilled Yellow Mage Croshere’s tea cup. As Yellow Mage was looking at the invitation letter, he didn’t even notice that his tea cup was already empty.

Even though the Sage reacted like he was not concerned with the things spoken by the Chaos Demon, Yellow Mage was clearly only considering the matter with the invitation letter right now.

“Saik… do you still remember how we were getting rid of the magic craving crystals back then?” Yellow Mage asked all of a sudden.

“Of course. Back then, teacher charged into the largest corporation distributing the magic craving crystals and burned it down in a sea of flames. The magic craving crystals were all dragged to the open plaza and publicly crushed to bits. I remember that there were countless mages attempting to stop you,” Saik clearly remembers that night of many years past. Flames were burning in Norland’s central plaza. The flames continued to burn all night long.

“That vacant land has become Norland National Theater. If I am to burn down Norland National Theater in the same manner I did back then, how many years will I have to stay in prison?”
