Advent of the Archmage Chapter 281

Three days later, in a valley within the Ferde Wilderness

The valley was extremely spacious . The two mountains surrounding it was more than 300 feet in height, making it impossible for anyone outside to notice what was going on in the valley .

There were 14 people standing in the middle of the valley: Link, Milda, Romilson, Nana, eight Holy Knights, and two archbishops . They were all members of this assassination mission .

It was right in the heat of summer . The sunlight shone mercilessly on their faces . Although there were spells that could lower the temperature around them, it was still uncomfortable to stand under the sun . Everyone had a look of restlessness on their faces .

"Why are they still not here?" Romilson said impatiently .

Link then took his watch and said, "We are still five minutes away from the agreed timing . The Yabba race is pretty punctual . They should be here anytime soon . "　

"I've heard that the battle airship of the Yabba race is not that reliable . It could fall from the sky just due to a slight navigation error . Is that true?" a Holy Knight wiped the perspiration from his forehead as he said . He was wearing an entire set of Sacred Silver imbued armor . It was extremely stuffy and warm . 　　

Romilson laughed as he said, "There is truly more to be desired for its reliability . However, it is indeed extremely fast . Furthermore, even if it truly falls, we still have some levitation spells . We will be fine . "　　　

"Alright . Stop spouting nonsense . " Milda stared at Romilson sternly . Romilson then shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking .

Four minutes later, the whirling sound of machinery could be heard from the sky . In a few moments, a huge black shadow appeared on the sky above the Ferde Wilderness .

Everyone glanced towards that direction . 　

This was an extremely huge airship . It was 50 feet long and 20 feet wide . The exterior of the airship was made from a pure black metallic substance . There were a huge number of magic circles drawn on top of the metal . The air right below the airship also showed signs of distortion, with huge fluctuations in the wind elements around the airship . On the sides of the airship was one black cannon each . They were the Yabba race's prided magic cannons . It was rumored to have an extremely fast firing frequency, up to a maximum of 30 shots per minute . The firepower of each shot was no weaker than a Level-6 spell . It possessed extremely terrifying offensive power on the battlefield . 　　

This humongous object slowly descended . By the time it reached the ground, the magic circle at the bottom of the airship had made contact with the valley .

Whoosh! A huge amount of dust and gravel were blown up from the ground, coupled with a strong gust of wind .

Link immediately released a Level-2 defensive spell, enveloping everyone in a light glow, preventing them from being hit by the wind . 　　

Milda then glanced at Link before asking, "You seem to have achieved another breakthrough in your spellcasting techniques?"　　

Link nodded before saying, "I have to thank Alloa for this . She helped me perfect many of my spellcasting techniques these few days . I have also progressed greatly in the area of Spatial Magic .

"That mixed-blood Dark Elf? I am curious . Why did you choose to believe her right away and even shared Nana's information with her? What if…"

Milda did not complete her sentence . Link naturally understood what she was getting at . He could not mention that he had information from the game . Furthermore, history was changing in this world . If he continued using his in-game knowledge to judge a person's character, there was bound to be problems . One example would be Wavier . He was not an interesting figure in the game . However, he had turned into a huge boss in this timeline .

More often than not, the final state of a person was determined not by their character or personality, but by their fate . 　　

Therefore, although Link had pretended to give Alloa great trust on the surface, he had planned many things in the shadows . He then said, "I did not believe her entirely . I have placed many spies around the Mage Tower . This was also the reason why I did not bring Celine with me this time around as well . "　

With Alloa's wisdom, these spies would not be able to fool her . However, Link believed that if she harbored no harm, she would not be affected by time as well . "　

At that moment, the airship had landed, and the door on its left open . A staircase was then lowered, and a small, green-haired Yabba stood at the door . He waved at them as his sharp, child-like voice echoed through the area, "Hey, big guys! Come on in!"

Link and the rest then walked over .

Fortunately, the airship that the Yabba race created was not as small as their build . In fact, their airship was really spacious . Furthermore, it was extremely luxurious . It was filled with many magic circles meant for increasing the comfort of the ride .

"Come, sit here . " The previous Yabba led the way and only stopped when they reached the front of the airship . 　

The front of the airship was in the shape of a semicircle . There were large transparent windows around and provided a good view of the surrounding area . Everyone also got to know the name of the Yabba along the way . He was called Merlin, the captain of this ship named USS Owl . 　　

"Hey big guys, sit down . I have heard about your encounters . Killing a Necromancer…That is truly an exciting adventure . It should be fun!" Merlin found a chair for himself and lifted his head to look at everyone enthusiastically .

Everyone exchanged glances in confusion . From their perspective, this mission was extremely dangerous, and they had a high chance of dying . However, this little guy actually mentioned that it would be fun . That was unimaginable . 　

The name of the commander of the Holy Knights was Joseph Hannibal . He was a level-7 Holy Knight from the church and was extremely powerful . He was 38 years old and once single-handedly defeated an evil, thousand-eyed demon from another dimension . He had a prestigious reputation in the church and was one of the six　Knights of Judgement . The success of this mission depended largely on him .

He then whispered to Link who was beside him, "Master, I feel that this little guy is not very reliable . "

Link the smiled and said, "Don't worry; they are usually like this—careful but adventurous . The moment the battle begins, you will realize that they are extremely reliable partners . "

Link was not exactly soft when he said those words . Merlin could hear them clearly and smiled cheerfully at those words . He then said, "Master Link is right! You can leave it up to us the moment the battle begins!"　

Milda also started to converse with the Yabba . She said, "Three years ago, I met Lady Fortuna Elin . Is she alright?"　

Upon mentioning about Elin, Merlin did not smile . His face sunk as he frowned and sighed, "Not good . Not good at all . Elin seemed to have seen a terrifying future . She kept saying that the Dark Elves would infiltrate our Scientific City of Lariel . She has been persuading the king to move northwards . However, all of us thought that the Dark Elves had no such power . "

Link was startled when he heard those words . He then asked, "Do you guys not trust her?"

Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Elin has great talent in the field of magic . That is something no one doubted . However, something like seeing the future is only possible if you are a god . This thing is way too intangible . Furthermore, the Yabba race has already lived in Lariel for 3000 years . You cannot possibly ask an entire race to move just because of a vague prophecy . Am I right?"

He was right as well . Prophecy spells were often vague and mysterious . After all, no one knew what the future held .

Merlin then laid his hands out helplessly and sighed before saying, "Actually, I do believe Elin on this . The Dark Elves are too insane . Who knows what they are capable of? However, the faith of one person is not enough . "

This was the internal politics of the Yabba race . No one dared to continue this conversation . Milda then broke the silence by saying courteously, "May the God of Light be with us . "

Everyone then echoed her words, "May the God of Light be with us . "

The atmosphere was slightly tense, and after a few minutes, Merlin broke the silence as he brought a letter to Link . He said, "Duke Abel wanted you to have this when we passed by the Orida Fortress . From his looks, it does not seem to be something good . "

Link was startled and tore it open upon receiving it . After reading the letter, Link's face sunk . 　　

"What happened?" Milda asked . 　

Link then handed over the letter . 　

After Milda saw the letter, she pursed her lips in silence . Seeing that Joseph was interested as well, she handed the letter over . 　　

After Joseph read the letter, he patted his thighs in exasperation and gasped, "The Dark Elves truly are nothing but trouble!"　

This letter was not some top-secret . Soon, everyone in the airship had taken a look at it, though their faces were now ridden with worry . 　　

There were a total of three information on the letter . Firstly, it informed that Aymons had been saved by the Dark Elves while Dark Prince Walter was killed on the spot . Secondly, it mentioned that Aymons had fused with the Dark Serpent, making him the wielder of the Divine Gear . Thirdly, MI3 had found the presence of high-level demons heading southwards . Currently, they were still keeping tabs on them, though their destination was unclear .

The first two pieces of information did not have much impact on the people here . However, the last one was strange no matter how one looked at it . high-level demons were creatures summoned by the Dark Elves, and they listened solely to the Dark Elves' command . Why would they head south?

Romilson asked, "Do you think they are here to support Wavier?"

Lin sighed as he said, "Without the first two pieces of information, I would not be sure . However, now that Aymons has fused with the Divine Gear, I can confirm that we will be meeting a large number of demons at Wavier's Necropolis .

Aymons took part in the battle that day as well . With his intellect, he could definitely guess their follow-up plans . Sending high-level demons to stop them now could prevent unnecessary trouble . Even if they did not make an attempt to kill Wavier, Aymons would suffer no loss as well . 　　

High-level demons were extremely strong creatures that came in different varieties . Each of them had a specific battle style that was unique and powerful .

In essence, it was bad news . 　

Everyone fell silent . Even Merlin, who loved adventures stopped joking around . Adventuring was one thing, but if the opponent was so strong that they did not stand a chance, it would not be fun . 　　

Nana immediately asked, "Master, do I have to prioritize demons in battle?"　

She was not afraid at all . Her voice was as crisp and clear as ever . Under such circumstances, it even sounded as if she was slightly excited . 　

Merlin looked at Nana as he patted his head and said with a bitter smile on his face, "Master, you magic puppet is so interesting . I think I have fallen in love . "

. . .

South, Necropolis .

A group comprised of 13 high-level demons arrived at the entrance of the Necropolis . The leader of the group had curly horns, a glamorous human face, two purple wings, huge breasts, long legs, and a curvy butt . She had two purple scales covering her important body parts and sheep hooves . She even possessed a sharp thorn whip as a weapon . She belonged to a highly-regarded race of high-level demons called Fine-Scaled Succubus .

She stared at the Necropolis and cracked her whip with great force, making a loud snapping sound . She then smiled sinisterly and said, "Frankly speaking, I don't really like these bunch of skeletons . They don't know how to have fun . "
