Advent of the Archmage Chapter 323

Golden Plains .

There was a natural indentation under a huge piece of crimson rock . It was the perfect hideout, concealing them from the possible sky patrols .

There was a bonfire burning within the hideout . Link, Felina, and Nana sat around the fire . They wore armor made from sheepskin to disguise themselves as ordinary Beastmen .

The bonfire was also not created from magic but with bare hands using flint and stone .

Nana sat down in an elegant position as she poked the prairie porcupine roasting on the bonfire with a long iron stick . They had caught and skinned this porcupine earlier .

On the other hand, Link was sprinkling all kinds of seasonings on the porcupine . He had learned this technique from the mercenaries beside Masos . Link had no idea if the temperature he was roasting the porcupine at was the ideal one, though the aroma of the meat was a testament to its taste . Felina swallowed her saliva as she stared at the porcupine expectantly . 　　

"It is already the second day . It seems like we have managed to escape from Isendilan," Link was relieved and even felt slightly proud of himself .

Felina actually sensed no danger through the entire process . She was merely following Link around all this time, concealing her presence and disguising herself . She was simply listening to his orders .

Isendilan had not appeared even once . It was as though he did not exist . 　　

It sounded extremely fulfilling to escape from the pursuit of a Legendary individual, though Felina, being part of this glorious achievement, merely felt that it was extremely simple and ordinary .

"Do you think Isendilan will kill the Beastmen if he cannot find us?" This was Felina's only worry . 　　　

At that moment, the porcupine was already prepared . Link then used the Breakpoint dagger to slice off the perfectly roasted thighs and handed it to Felina . He then smiled and said, "He will not . I left many misleading clues along the way . Although Isendilan does not know our exact location, he cannot be completely off the charts as well . He has no time to even approach the Beastmen . "

"That is nice to hear…Oh, this meat is delicious . It is more tender than the one I had with the Beastmen . Pretty decent," Felina then turned her attention to the meat as she spoke . 　　

Link then sliced a piece of meat for himself and savored it slowly . It was indeed a decent first attempt at barbecued meat . It was a success .

"Master, can I taste it?" Nana said curiously . 　　

"Please do," Link made an inviting pose before taking out a magic book of flame . He then lay casually on a rock at the side, enjoying his relaxing dinner time while reading a book .

Nana tore a slice of meat for herself and took a small bite of the meat . She then chewed the meat slowly before a frown appeared on her face . She still looked like a pure and innocent deer . No one could imagine what the experience was like for her .

After a while, she said, "The taste is weird . Is this what you mean by salty?"

Felina then said, "It is not just salty; there are at least six other flavors . They are mixed together to produce this unique taste . You can taste them one by one . Here, have this drought ginger . "

Nana then stuffed the entire piece of spicy drought ginger into her mouth without hesitation . The drought ginger was at least half the size of a fist . It filled her mouth entirely, making her look like a stuffed hamster .

She then started chewing, her eyes glimmering with curiosity .

She was simply too fast . Felina was not fast enough to stop her and muttered, "You actually only need a small piece . "　　　　

She felt uncomfortable even looking at someone stuff a whole piece of raw drought ginger into their mouth . 　　

As Nana chewed, her eyes lit up and said, "This is delicious!"

She then stopped eating the meat and started stuffing the remaining drought ginger into her mouth, chewing delightfully . Felina then stared at the scene, dumbfounded .

"This… Link, do you think Nana has malfunctioned?"

On the other hand, Link was not particularly surprised by this . He laughed and explained, "The spicy taste in drought ginger came from a material called powdered silver . Nana probably likes the metallic taste of this substance . "

Powdered silver was a rare metallic substance . Coincidentally, Link carried some with him for this journey . He then took out a small piece of powdered silver and gave it to Nana, saying, "Here, have a taste . "

Nana bit into the powdered silver without hesitation, making a loud cracking sound as the metal was crushed under her jaws . However, she quickly spits out the pure powdered silver, and she frowned and said, "Master, this is too hard and bitter . Disgusting!"　

Link immediately knew that he had made a mistake . This was similar to how humans needed iron in their body to survive, though we do not consume metallic substances directly .

Nana probably liked the taste of drought ginger as the powdered silver inside could be easily absorbed . The pure piece of powdered silver was too condensed, making it bitter and unappealing .

Link then awkwardly said, "So sorry, try the rest of the food as well . Take whatever you like . "

"Alright . " Nana seemed to have found a new toy as she started experimenting with the different food .

Link had a small appetite . Before long, he started cleaning off the oil on his hands and focused his attention on his magic book .

Felina and Nana also reduced the amount of noise they made with their actions . The cave became extremely peaceful and calm . 　

Two hours later, Link said, "It's about time . Let's set off . "

"No problem . "

The three of them then prepared to leave the cave . Link led the way, and he was still extremely careful . Before he left, he first cast a small-scaled Spatial Distortion spell on the entrance of the cave .

The Spatial Distortion spell acted like a mirror . It allowed Link to have a full view of the area outside of the cave .

"Is there anything in the sky?" Link asked Felina . After all, the dragon race had much better eyesight .

Nana carefully stared into the sky before she shook her head and said, "Apart from a few birds, nothing else . "　　

"Then it should be fine," Link walked out of the cave .

They were around 130 miles east away from White Cloud City . In order to not leave any clues, they were traveling at a speed similar to that of an ordinary Beastman . They would need at least four days before they could reach their destination at this rate .

Although the progress was slow, it was safe .

After half a day, a small Beastman town appeared . This small town seemed unaffected by the wrath of the berserk Beastmen . The town seemed to be holding a small festival of some sort, which explains the crowd along the streets . There were even a few human merchants on the way . 　

"Look at this wolf-fang necklace . How pretty . " Felina pointed to a stall on the roadside . She always had a penchant for these accessories . She had even bought a bracelet that Link designed simply for collection purposes some time ago .

She then ran over and bought this necklace for one red dragon gold coin .

This merchant did not recognize a red dragon gold coin, though he could recognize gold when he saw one . He was surprised that Felina was going to purchase this without a bargain and beamed delightfully . He was so elated that he even gave a complimentary wolf-fang bracelet to Felina .

This raised Felina's spirits indefinitely . She then started a shopping spree, spending her gold coins on almost every stall in sight .

Link did not stop her seeing that she was enjoying herself .

Felina had used over ten gold coins by the time she left the town . She bought a bunch of useless objects and wore them all on her body, inquiring Link about her looks every so often .

Link could not understand this weird hobby and merely nodded in agreement every time .

They then continued on their journey to White Cloud City . 　　

Half a day after Link and company left the town, Isendilan arrived, clad in a long black robe . He realized that something was amiss upon entering the town . The air seemed to be filled with an extremely familiar scent .

He sniffed his way forward and quickly arrived at a stall selling wolf-fang accessories . 　

"Respected customer, what do you wish to purchase?" the Beastman asked . Not long along, he had sold a necklace worth only a few bronze coin for a full gold coin . He was in an extremely good mood .

Isendilan's mood was the complete opposite . He had pursued Link all the way to this dreadful place . God knows how many traps he had fallen into along the way . He was itching to kill to unleash the frustration inside him .

However, he had good self-control . He would never recklessly kill anyone . This was not because of his malevolence, but because he felt that this would only be a waste of his energy .

He did not even bother replying to the Beastman . He pushed the approaching Beastman on the floor before he walked over and pulled open the cash register of the stall .

Beastmen were not known for their friendliness to other races . It was normal for them to get into fights with humans and dragons alike . Furthermore, this guy seemed to be robbing him of his hard-earned money .

"Hey, are you going to rob me?" He picked up a stone from the ground and flung it with full force at Isendilan's head .

The stone then landed at the back of Isendilan's head . Isendilan seemed fine, though the stone had completely shattered .

At that moment, Isendilan was deep in thought staring at the red dragon gold coin . He had not noticed the attack from the Beastman until he suffered the full impact of the attack .

"Hmm?" Isendilan still kept himself from retaliating as he took out the red dragon gold coin . He then asked menacingly, "Where did this gold coin come from?"

The Beastman swallowed his saliva nervously . He knew that this was not someone he could mess with after seeing how the stone shattered . 　　

At that moment, when he saw Isendilan closing in, he felt extremely hopeless . His mind seemed to have stopped functioning . He retreated for a few steps before he started running, shouting, "It's all yours! It's all yours!"　

Isendilan frowned and was just about to give chase when a few well-armored Beastmen surrounded him . One of then placed his sword on Isendilan's neck and bellowed, "How dare you rob one of our kind . Either come with us or pay a fine . Choose!"　

Isendilan's patience had finally run thin . He grabbed the sword and squeezed it slightly . Boom! The sword shattered and its metallic shards flew in all directions .

The shards flew at an insane speed, piercing anything along the way .

The Beastmen around could not react in time and were ruthlessly injured by the metallic shards . Blood splattered across the streets, and at least 20 people died with just a small action on Isendilan's part .

"Ah!" A woman screamed .

"A serial killer!"

"Run"　　

The town went into a state of frenzy . 　　

"Helpless mortals!" Isendilan was lazy to deliver another blow . He started sniffing the red dragon gold coin in his hands .

"What a fresh smell . It should be less than four hours since they left…But could this be another decoy?"　　　　

He had already fallen for many traps along the way . He was hesitant about this clue as well .

Just when he was deep in thought, a bellow could be heard, "Fire!"　

The sound of crossbows firing echoed through the town . Isendilan then heard war cries declaring their prowess . He turned around and realized that 30 Beastmen archers were lined up in an orderly manner in front of him .

"Oh, you humble mortals . Are sneak attacks all you know?"

Isendilan was already in a bad mood . Now that he was repeatedly provoked, he had finally lost his cool . He lifted his hands and an incandescent fireball more than six-feet-wide appeared in his palms . 　

He then slammed the fireball onto the ground .

"How irritating, all of you shut up!"

"Boom!" An earth-shattering sound could be heard . A 300-feet-wide incandescent fireball appeared in the sky above the small town . The entire town was subsequently destroyed by the impact of this spell . 　　

After the spell subsided, the world became exceptionally silent . 　　

Staring at the bodies on the ground, Isendilan shook his head in disappointment and said, "What a waste of my strength . "

He then sniffed the red dragon gold coin once again and chased the faint presence all the way out of town .

Although he could not pinpoint the exact location, he could feel that his enemy was not far away . All he needed was a stroke of good luck .
