1669 Making Up the Numbers (2/2)

”It's fine if you're not a Water Mage. The Hunter Union has requested that every party have at least seven members. Our party only has six members, so we are short one Intermediate Mage. We have already devised a plan for the quest. It would be best if we can find a Water Mage, but it's not a must. You can just make up the numbers and cheer for us later!” the young man encouraged him.

”I see. Are you sure you just want me to make up the numbers?” Mo Fan asked.

”Of course, we have strong Mages in our party. You are in safe hands by joining us. Most importantly, we will pay you exactly what we promised!” the young man said.

”Are you familiar with this place?” Mo Fan asked.

”Of course we are! We aren't that popular, but we've been active in the Thousand Islands Lake for around three years. We know the location of the islands, the depth of the water, even the spots where we can find many demon creatures. HAHAHA, what do you say? Are you interested in joining us?” the young man said.

”But… I'm not an Intermediate Mage,” Mo Fan said.

”Huh? Your extraordinary bearing caught my eyes. You must be a student of a famous institute. How are you not an Intermediate Mage? What is your Primary Element? Oh, I should ask, what is your Element?” the young man asked.

”My Primary Element is Lightning,” Mo Fan informed him.

”Lightning? Wait here, I'll go and ask my captain!” the young man said, and ran into the hall.

Mo Fan had come to inspect the area and familiarize himself with the place. The government had yet to resolve the problem after such a long time. It was unlikely that he could settle the problem in just a few days.

The others were not going to be here any time soon. Mo Fan was planning to follow a party around and learn more about the Thousand Islands Lake. He wanted to take a look at the Salamander Demons first. It was better than roaming about aimlessly like a headless fly.

The young man was quite impatient, so it did not take him long to return.

”Brother, since our party is in a rush as we don't want the others to get a head start, we are willing to let you join us, even though you are only a Basic Lightning Mage. However, you must be extremely careful. The Salamander Demons are not as weak as you think. Besides, they normally stay in packs,” the young man said.

”I'm an Advanced Mage, I'm not a Basic Mage,” Mo Fan said. He was too lazy to conceal his strength like he usually did.

”Hah, stop bluffing! If you're an Advanced Mage at such a young age, I'd be a Super Mage by now. Let's go, we must hurry! The other Hunter Groups have already moved out. We can't let them take all the profits!” The young man dragged Mo Fan to group up with the rest of the party.

”I'm really an Advanced Mage,” Mo Fan said with a wry smile.

”Sure, you're an Advanced Mage. We'll all cheer for you when you take on the demon creatures on your own!” The young man did not treat Mo Fan's words seriously, clearly not believing him.

It was not his fault. First, it was rare for someone in their twenties to be an Advanced Mage. Second, those people would usually stay in their own clans and enjoy the resources provided by their clans, or have their own hunting bands. Why would he be looking to join a random party at the Hunter's Lodge?
