Chapter 206 Experience Penalty Is a Level Suppressor. Or Is It… (1/2)

The North, the main city of Moldavia, the backyard of the liege's residence, fixed-point teleportation circle.

”Thank you.”

After the faint dizziness resulted from going through a teleportation, Joshua stood solidly on the ground instead of standing on the softly loosened ice and snow. He turned around to look at the two Divine Armaments and his horse. Then he also looked at the back that carried a dragon egg and the huge bottle. He could not help but nod his head in satisfaction. Then he told the two young mages who were wearing white robes lined with silver next to him, ”I did not expect you guys to have mastered fixed-point teleportation.”

The tone of his voice carried a little surprise. ”So young, and your 'Gift' is truly not bad at all. You should be proud of yourselves being Nostradamus' apprentices.”

”I don't deserve the honor, my liege.”

The mage who looked taller on the left side took a step forward. He felt slightly shy as he bowed with a smile and said, ”My brother and I are both relying on the magic resonance between the two of us. That is how we attained the ability to cast a superior spell. Truth be told, the level of our strength still has a long way to go before we can actually cast a teleportation spell smoothly.”

Furthermore, whatever 'Gift' we have, it'll always be incomparable to yours.

Those words remained quietly at the back of the mage's mind. Of course he did not speak of them—A 25-year-old man who had yet to enter the Upper Gold tier domain really had quite a number of thoughts running through his head, however, there was one particular thought that was keeping him feeling amazed by Joshua… Even under the circumstance where warriors could actually advance through tiers easier than mages could, Joshua's pace is a little too fast, don't you think?

One should know that, according to the information and date of the Empire Kingdom, the count had yet to reach his twenty-second birthday.

”If my liege has no need of us…”

A brief moment later, after seeing that Joshua seemed to be in deep thought about something as he remained himself in silence, the mage took his younger brother who was standing right beside along with him as both of them walked up to the warrior. ”So perhaps we can take our leave now then?”

”Oh? Of course.”

The black-haired warrior was certainly in deep thought about some things. Hence, he drifted away from the scene for a brief moment. However, after hearing what the mage said, he quickly responded with a nod and said, ”There's no need for all those words of respect. I feel really uncomfortable with seeing you all behaving with so much constraint and all that. You must now, you're not my servants, just address me by name.”

”Your tolerance is naturally your right, but using honorifics is also a way to express our respect towards you.”

Right beside his elder brother, the younger mage spoke. His voice seemed to be carrying a little excitement. ”Looking at our liege who actually went forward to slay the dragons for his own people, it will not be too much even if we're addressing and speaking to you with honorifics.”

”Speaking of which... Just keep this incident among your friends and family. There's no need to tell everyone.”

As he looked into the sincere faces of the two mages as they were expressing their sincere feelings of respect towards him, Joshua could only chuckle as he shook his head. Then he waved his hand to inform the two mages that they could leave now. ”Well, this is not the time to spread the news.”

”Yes, my lord!”

After the mage and his brother left, Joshua stood in the middle of the teleportation circle without moving his legs away from it. Ying who was standing right next to him lifted her head and looked at her own master curiously, to see exactly what was going on with him now. However, suddenly, the warrior spoke, ”I'm a bit tired... Ying, Ling and Black, you've done well. Because of your presence with me throughout the entire incident, the raid on the dragon lair was a success.”

As he was talking, he turned his head over and revealed a gentle and friendly smile on his face that was constantly fierce and rigid. That had finally seen a gentle color on his face after all these time. ”Ying, take Black back to the stable awhile later. Ling, take the dragon egg and the bottle to the secret warehouse later… do you know the password to the secret warehouse?”
