593 Sikeqinyans Part 1 (2/2)
”Maybe it's just a sense of insecurity. In this era that we are living in many batches of combat mages will appear soon. Narnia, you should try to learn more too. Your phoenix spell was pretty impressive.”
Narnia blushed and said, ”Although they were all bandits, I still feel a bit disgusted to have killed so many people.”
”Is that all it takes to disgust you? What if they were God's disciples?”
Narnia was stunned for a moment and said, ”That is not the same. Bandits are still humans, but God's disciples have already sold their souls, so they are just an empty physical body.”
”But bandits are also humans that have sold away their souls. Anyway, enough of this. I rarely see you using combat spells. What else do you know?”
”I am similar to the Viscountess, mostly… I know fire element spells that I have learned from the Master. I have also picked up lifestyle spells of the other five elements so there would not be an imbalance.”
Saleen nodded. He specialized in water element spells. To balance his sensitivity towards the other five elements, he relied entirely on his water spells by manipulating them into imitating the other elements. Without balancing his sensitivity towards the other five elements, he would have difficulties advancing to sorcerer. During this period of time, he began to follow the notes that Joey had given to him. The notes clearly described Joey's understanding of the elements. Saleen had already clearly understood the process for interchanging the six great elements. He was not a sorcerer yet so the number of spells he could use to imitate the other elements were limited.
”Saleen, the Viscountess has asked me to carry out a task when we reach Holy Rock City. I have no intentions of hiding it from you.”
”Oh? Tell me then.” Saleen knew that Narnia was telling the truth since she did not turn her back against Aini.
”Actually, the Viscountess is still under the control of Holy Rock City in name. Over there, we have a Duke's mansion. The things that happened at Bitter Water Prefecture must be recorded into a case report and a copy must be submitted to Holy Rock City.”
”Are you saying that we are going against the rules by going to Holy Rock City?”
”Of course not, you are not the Viscountess' subordinate. Once we are there, we will need to split up so that I can settle some of the things over at the Duke's mansion.”
Saleen finally understood. He smiled and said, ”I promised Lex to guarantee your safety. We will leave together.”
What Saleen had just said lacked a little validity. If Safilos came after him, there was no way Saleen would be a match for him. The only way was if Aini released his floral death creature. Even a golden grand swordmaster would have some difficulties killing a floral death creature. Saleen also possessed his clan badge so that was another way to kill a golden grand swordmaster.
The only problem was whether Aini would be willing to go against the Prince of the empire for Saleen.
Going to Holy Rock City, Saleen's only concern was the Prince. Others might not know, but he was fully aware of how powerful a golden grand swordmaster could be. Although there was only a difference of one grade between golden grand swordmaster and silver grand swordmaster, this grade was like how a sorcerer was also one grade apart from a grand mage. The difference was huge.
Narnia laughed happily. She ignited the magic powder and began to roast the fresh meat once there was flame. Saleen was the first man that she had fallen in love with. Even before she had the chance to confess to him, she already understood that this man would never belong to her. As a mage, there was no way she would share someone else with others.
Narnia's character was not like Sika's, where she could afford not to care about status and reputation.
It was still an incredible feeling when the man she loved said that he would guarantee her safety.
”Someone is coming!” Su whispered to Saleen.
”Caravans.” Aini pointed at the slope and said, ”There is fountain water here. Big-scale caravans will not be able to bring along large supplies of potable water so they will usually set up camps at certain fixed locations.”
There was indeed a sighting of fountain water below this hill. If this was not the countryside of Qin, it would have become a place where beasts would gather, making it extremely dangerous.
Aini's words soon came true. From a distance away, a gigantic caravan approached gradually. Saleen's icy sight could not detect where the caravan ended.
Saleen looked at this caravan and suddenly sighed, ”I finally understand why there are people that will choose to become bandits. There are so many wagons here, if they were robbed…”
