944 Off to Nazca (2/2)

”I can.”

”No no no, it's better not to rely on someone else. Nazca is a forbidden land!. If you bring an army into it, Nazca will summon a bigger horde to wipe out the army! I already told you, you have more than a week's time! If you can obtain Nazca's forgiveness during this period, you will be able to break free from the endless curse!” said Ariosto.

”So it looks like going there is our only choice?” said Mo Fan.

”A week should be enough for us to learn more about this scary Nazca,” said Nanyu.

”The monsters in Nazca are currently attacking our cities and mines. I'm sorry for what General Mott has done to you, and he has been punished accordingly. However, you're our best chance to visit the forbidden land of Nazca. I sincerely hope that you can resolve the situation for us. I'll intervene and ask the country to give you the resources that are allocated to our national team, if you can save the people that are trapped inside the mines...” Ariosto said in a sincere manner.

”You're asking us to help you after what you've done to us?” Zhao Manyan asked in an unpleasant tone.

”(sigh) Forget it, we would already be dead if it weren't for the ancient castle that Ariosto told us about. That General Mott is an asshole, but Ariosto is a nice person. Not all Peruvians are the same,” Jiang Shaoxu said wisely.

”Yeah, we should focus on getting rid of the curse. Who knows how many monster birds there will be in the next wave!” agreed Mo Fan rationally.

”But isn't Ariel Mines being attacked by a bunch of monster apes? What does it have anything to do with us going to Nazca?” asked Jiang Yu in confusion.

”Oh, you will know once you arrive there. I'll arrange a helicopter to bring you to Nazca,” Ariosto smiled when he saw how logical the team of Magicians was being.

It was important to solve the problem beforehand. Ariosto was a calm and sensible man. General Mott's arrogant, hot-headed, and impulsive character would not be able to solve the problem. It was useless even though he had sent troops to the Ariel Mines, as the monster apes would only keep coming!

It was important to find the source of their problem, and that source was none other than Nazca. The Chinese students who had just survived a hundred thousand monster birds from Nazca were their best chance at solving the problem!

Anyone in Nazca had to follow its rules. Sending an army or a group of Magicians would only result in greater wrath, as Nazca was never short on numbers!

”Mister, you mentioned that you'll give us the resources that were initially allocated to the national team, are you sure?” asked Mo Fan.

”Of course. On top of that, General Mott and his advisors will publicly apologize to you. The Royal Magicians will express our gratitude to you, too. Peru will always welcome you,” confirmed Ariosto.

After General Mott was dismissed, Ariosto was the person-in-charge at Royal Felipe Castle!

”It's a deal then!”

The team had to get rid of the monster birds, and they would also receive other benefits from Peru's government. Why wouldn't Mo Fan gladly accept the offer?

----

A helicopter soon arrived at Royal Felipe Castle. The team was just about to get on board when Zu Jiming voiced his disagreement.

He was reluctant to go. He was never going back to that shithole again. He also did not believe that the strange birds would return again. He assumed that Ariosto was just bluffing them.

”No one is forcing you. Stay here then,” said Jiang Shaoxu.

It was obvious that the team was divided on the matter. As soon as Zu Jiming voiced his opinion, Mu Tingying, Guan Yu, and Li Kaifeng decided to stay behind, too. Nanrong Ni had just gone through a situation of life and death, and before she could collect herself, the team was departing for another deadly adventure. It was obvious that she was not willing to follow them to Nazca, either.

”Can...Can I not go, too?” Zhao Manyan asked softly.

”Do you believe I will not toss you into the ocean to feed the sea monsters right now?” replied Mo Fan mercilessly.

Zhao Manyan helplessly boarded the helicopter.

”I'll make it clear; if you choose to stay here, Ariosto promised us that they will protect you if the strange birds attack you again. However, you will not receive any of the resources that Ariosto promised us,” Nanyu pointedly told the members that decided to stay behind.

”We don't care! I seriously don't understand; they were trying to get us killed, and now you're so keen to do them a favor. Either way, I didn't trust a single word he said; just go if you want!” Zu Jiming dismissed her words.

”Alright, take care!” said Nanyu.

Those who believed that they were in great trouble boarded the helicopter. Those that did not stayed in Lima. It was actually better for the team, as without them, the remaining members on the team were more united. Mo Fan definitely preferred the team as it was now.

If the people on a team could not unite, the team would have trouble achieving greatness!

Lingling also collected some information about Nazca. Her involvement would be great help for getting rid of the curse!
