”Dark Noble Mantle?”
”What is that? It sounds pretty cool.”
The team had gathered in the hall. They listened to the new arrangements from the advisors and heard them mentioning the bonus reward of the mission.
The bonus reward was a Magic Equipment, something like a magic mantle. It was a very rare type of equipment, as it was a piece of supportive equipment that could be worn together with Magic Armor or Shields. Apparently, equipment like a mantle or a windbreaker might have similar uses to Magic Wings, as they could also spread into wings.
However, both Mantle-type or Wing Magical Equipment were considered luxury goods among Magicians. If the two combined into a single piece of equipment, it was no doubt an extremely rare find. It was impossible to find anything like it even after visiting all the auctions being held!
”They say it was a piece of equipment that a Forbidden Magician used in the past. He has now donated it to the World Magic Institution to motivate young Magicians. We are now competing for the Dark Noble Mantle with two other countries, Japan and India. They are close to the Caribbean Sea, and they will team up with us to take out the Red Ornaments Guild,” explained Nanyu in detail.
”Is it really necessary to team up with them when we're only going up against a bunch of bandits?” Guan Yu said disdainfully.
”You're wrong; the Red Ornaments Guild isn't just a bunch of bandits. When the guild was first established, it was a guild of corrupted Magicians. Its influence was comparable to a magic clan, with thousands of Magicians under their lead. Their average strength is in the Intermediate Level, and they also have a lot of Advanced Magicians, too. They use the resources and money they steal to train new members, forming a complete family chain!” Nanyu had already researched the Red Ornaments Guild.
”We've fought them recently; their overall strength isn't weak,” Jiang Shaoxu stated seriously.
It was obvious that the group led by Xi Ge and Oni was only a small branch of the Red Ornaments Guild. There must be someone even stronger supporting them behind the scenes. Otherwise, the governments of the nearby countries would not be so helpless against them.
”We'll wait here in Lanshi Town. The Japanese and Indian teams are making their way here. We should see them fairly soon,” said Nanyu.

In the afternoon, the Japan and Indian teams arrived in Lanshi Town. The group of thirty people decided to meet at Sea Gull Park.
Since there were so many people, and not everyone was fluent in English, the teams only sent their representatives to discuss at a table. The others waited on the grass and walkway.
”It's B at most,” said Zhao Manyan confidently.
”Maybe it's C?” Mo Fan hesitated.
”B, trust me; if it's C, the shape should be a capital 'I'. If it's B, and the bra is pushing them in to form the cleavage, the shape resembles a 'Y',” stated the experienced Zhao Manyan.
The two were sitting on a bench. They were bored, so they decided to identify the cup sizes of the girls instead.
Their target was a female student from the Japanese team wearing an ocean-blue sailor uniform with a short skirt. She was most likely a fan of cosplay. She was even wearing a pair of alluring stockings. If she wasn't standing in a national team, most people would simply assume her to be a girl with a hobby of dressing up in costumes. No one would think she was a powerful Magician.
A Japanese man in a hoodie suddenly walked toward Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, speaking in a serious voice. ”You two, don't you think that I have no idea what you were talking about. It's not gentleman-like to dishonor a woman verbally!”
He was talking in English, and the girl in the sailor uniform could understand him too. She glared at the perverted Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan with a hint of shock.
The man in the hoodie was over-exaggerating it. The girl in the sailor uniform had no idea what Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were discussing. As a normal woman, she quickly assumed they were having lewd thoughts, so her glare at Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan was immediately filled with hostility.
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were experienced with shameless acts. Zhao Manyan was the first to voice his disagreement. He slowly rose to his feet and said, ”We are discussing our admiration of a beautiful girl. Why did it sound so wrong and lowly in your mouth? I was saying that I like her stockings, and her figure. How is it any of your business?!”
Zhao Manyan was indeed oily tongued. He immediately corrected the bitchy Japanese man's accusation.
”Akira Matsuki, forget it, they mean no harm!” The girl in the sailor uniform was a reasonable person too. She did not seem too bothered after hearing the explanation. She even gave them an apologetic smile.
”They were saying… damn it!” Akira Matsuki obviously cared a lot about the girl in the sailor uniform. Even the slightest disrespect to her would infuriate him.
Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan brazenly ignored the man's accusations.
Akira Matsuki was having trouble explaining. He could only swallow his words and glare at the two.

Meanwhile, Nanyu had reached an agreement with the representatives of the Japan and Indian teams. They proceeded to allocate the tasks.
”I'm really impressed by your ability to collect information. The information that can easily be obtained by searching Google wasn't of any value to us. Even though our advisors have asked us to work together, I have no intention of sharing our information with you,” Shou Watani of the Japanese team said.
Shou Watani was the representative of the Japanese team. The way he acted and spoke implied that he was most likely from the Japanese military.
”Which means you're already found where their nest is?” asked Nanyu.
”Something like that. You Chinese and Indians only need to support us. I'll lead the team and complete the mission in no time. After that, we'll go our separate ways and meet again in Venice,” said Shou Watani.
