Chapter 131: Revenge on Old Hag (a) (1/2)
The onlookers tried to make out where he was, but they only saw him sitting beneath a fire-like light and endless darkness stretching behind him. Never in their entire life have they seen a place like this. Thus they failed to determine where he was.
”I wasn't doing anything important. I would have stopped to listen to your call even if I was.”
”Mr. Joker, you've helped us so many times. What's the need to ask for forgiveness? It's only making us feel bad.”
”Mr. Joker, you can call on me anytime. Even if I am in the middle of the ocean, searching for treasure, I will still answer your call.”
Not even a single one of the hundred magicians raised a single voice of objection, and all of them were extremely respectful to him as he was too mysterious and powerful in their eyes. Not only was his wisdom great enough to identify any artifacts, but no matter how much they tried to investigate him, they came up with nothing!
”I have called you ladies and gentlemen hoping that you can fulfill your end of the deal.”
Elliot said those words in a calm voice. However, the listeners could sense the suppressed anger in it.
”Mr. Joker, please tell us your wish.”
”Although I know that some of you are more than enough, I hope that all of you can group up to kill Margerie Symeon.”
”Margerie Symeon? Who the heck of this person?
”I heard she is an early-stage magic lord.”
”A mere Lord of Magic?! How dare she offend our mighty Mr. joker?!”
”She is backed by the association, though.”
”I am a middle-stage Lord of Magic, and I also work for the association. I have more achievements than that old hag and also contributed a lot more than her. The association would take my side even if I kill her!”
The crowd erupted in an uproar, and Elliot took in their chatters while staying silent.
”May I ask why the honorable lord wants to kill her?” A voice sharp enough to make the listeners feel a sword hanging next to their necks sounded, and everyone quietened down as they didn't want to interrupt the Sword Brows Gentleman.
Elliot was glad that the Sword Brows Magic Lord asked this question. Sword Brows Gentleman was a chad but a little too old to be called a middle-aged man. He was a sword maniac who had a wide collection of swords. He was also a weaponsmith and ran a weapon creation business.
