"Commander, why are you here? Where is the master?" Ye asked .
"Master and Madam are behind me," Ozzic said . He pointed diagonally behind him . "You can go see yourself . I am not going to go with you . Master has been giving me lessons whenever he gets a chance . I do not want to look for troubles myself . "
Ye looked around and found no one was around them, except for Black Eleven behind him . He said, "Commander, that day…" Ye felt he owed Ozzic an explanation since it involved Ozzic when he surrounded the bar . Ye was promoted on Ozzic’s recommendation and treated him as a brother . He had been busy putting out fires for the past few days . He could not squeeze in any time until now . If he waited a few more days, his explanation would seem pointless .
"You do not have to explain . I know . " Ozzic patted Ye on the shoulder and smiled .
"No, commander, let me explain . " Ye tried to explain immediately . "I got a complaint from a mercenary that someone attacked him in the bar for no reason . I was ready to do an investigation on the bar and then Black Eleven came to see me . I did not know it was not an ordinary bar till then . Commander, you were very close to the people in the bar . I was worried they would sense something fishy and all escape if I let you know I was coming . If that had happened, I was afraid Master Anfey would be enraged . "
"I know . You did not have to explain . I said I knew . " Ozzic shook his head as he smiled . "In fact, I am not very talented, but I am good at evaluating people . Ye, we have been friends for a long time . How could I not know you? Don’t you remember when I wanted to seek help from Moramatch, you told me it would be wrong to seek help from others . You said no matter whom we seek help from, it would not be better than having our own freedom . How about now? Was I wrong?"
Ye went quiet for a moment and smiled . "You were right . I was wrong . "
"That is why I stopped you from explaining to me . I know you were in an awkward situation," Ozzic said .
Advertisement"Commander, back then, did you know Master Anfey would make such huge accomplishments in subsequent days?" Ye smiled .
"No . I would be a prophet if that were the case . I just knew Master Anfey was great . He was not a mean and unforgiving person, so …" Ozzic said .
"Did you say this to me?" Anfey pushed the door open and walked in . "Do you hate me for punishing you with a few whips?"
Suzanna followed Anfey and smiled . She understood Anfey well . If Anfey still joked with Ozzic, it meant he still treated Ozzic as his trusted brother . If he were disappointed in Ozzic, Anfey would act politely and nicely to Ozzic instead .
"Master, I do not dare," Ozzic said bitterly .
"Why are you two here?" Anfey looked at the shiny silver ax as he talked . He sighed . Anfey felt lonely for not having an opponent to practice fighting with . He went to see Suzanna immediately after he got the ax back from Hagan . He wanted to check the power of the ax . After one strike, Suzanna refused to practice fighting with him . Of course, Suzanna did not worry about hurting Anfey . She cared about her sword . Anfey’s ax had the power to cut everything . If Suzanna held in there for a while in the fight and won, her sword would definitely be ruined no matter what .
Black Eleven stepped forward and said quietly,"Master, please forgive me . The issue concerning the rangers was so important that I passed the news back to Sacred City without your permission . " Black Eleven had the chance to ask permission from Anfey, but he did not do it . If he had asked permission from Anfey, but Anfey had not allowed him to send the news back to Sacred City, he would have been ruined . He still had the chance to try right now at least .
"Was it worth you reporting to me?" Anfey was shocked .
"Huh…" Black Eleven did not know how to respond .
"I said yesterday that wiping out Minos I is not only the rangers’ aim, but also mine . This is the common aim of all intelligent people on the Pan Continent . You should have let our king know about it," Anfey said .
Black Eleven thought Anfey would get mad, or at least be suspicious of him because it was obvious Black Eleven worked for both the king and Anfey . He could not hide such a big issue from Anfey, so he chose to take the consequences after he reported to the king .
After hearing what Anfey said, he felt relieved .
"Ye, what’s up with you?" Anfey looked him over and smiled . "I noticed that you two have been so intimate . You guys are together all the time, no matter where you are . "
Ye did not know whether he should cry or laugh . "Intimate" should not be the word to describe the relationship between Black Eleven and him . It did not sound right . He pretended he did not heard it since it was from Anfey’s mouth . "Master, according to the roster on the paper, after a thorough analysis, we did not find them sharing anything in common . If there has to be one, they both lived a long life . "
"Long life?" Anfey put the ax back into his Dimensional ring and fell into thought .
"Yes . Take the maid who kept the diary for instance: she complained in the last few diary entries that she could not see things clearly after her 90th birthday . She even made a fool of herself a few times after that, which also proves she lived for more than 90 years," Ye said .
"Anfey, Do you think those rangers will work with you? They are so proud," Suzanna asked in a low voice .
Anfey shook his head . "I don’t know . In fact, I do not have any specific plans yet . I am just going to go with the flow for now . If they could be recruited into our league, I will definitely take them . If we could only work togethering instead of having them join our league, it would be a better choice for us anyway . "
"What if they are playing games with you?" Suzanna asked .
"Playing games? Do you think I would be taken advantage of?" Anfey smiled . "Their royalty and courage for the past thousands of years touched me, which is the reason that I am trying to work with them . If they gave up this last chance, nothing would hold me back . They have attacked you before . Now I am trying to work with them . In fact, I do not feel good about it . If they play games with me, it is it is exactly as I would wish . "
"Anfey, don’t think about me," Suzanna said gently . "Without them, I would not have had a chance to meet you . Maybe I should thank them for that," Suzanna said .
"Thank them? How do they deserve thanks?" Anfey looked cold and sharp . "No matter whether we are working together or fighting together, I will have to get what I want . "
"What do you want?" Suzanna asked in surprise .
"Minos is a great man . " Anfey said slowly . "With the help of the Wheel of Fortune, he received a lot of nice things, including the experiences, lessons and relics from ancestors . I remember when Hui Wei saw it, he was very angry . He said he had searched a lot of relics, but could not find anything useful . They were all emptied by Minos . "
"Neither Hui Wei, nor Minos were the only people who knew about the relics," Ye said . "They could have been taken by others . "
"We do not know who else might have, but we know Minos did," Anfey said . "It proves my guess is right, otherwise he would have become a saint . His stuff is not that useful to me, inspiring at most . However, to you guys, they could be…"
Before Anfey finished talking, everyone felt their hearts pumping fast . Did Anfey mean that their fighting ability would improve if they could have those things .
"Master, yesterday you said that most of the inheritance was lost in the battles . I think so too . Many of them were just on senior level, but none of them was a top power . How useful would their stuff be for us?" Ye asked .
"Have they had any top powers before?" Anfey asked .
"Well, yes," Ye said .
"So, even if their inheritance was lost, it does not mean there is no value in their stuff," Anfey said slowly . "Maybe they just could not understand them, or they did not know how valuable those things were . "
"I agree with master," Black Eleven said excitedly .
Violet City was far from White Mountain City, which was in chaos . Sheriff Urter was gone for no reason, which became sensational news in the city .
The previous city master was sick in bed . There was no leadership in the city . Luckily, there were two people in high positions in the city . One was Miss Niya and the other was Miss Shally . Niya was the daughter of Archmage Saul, and Shally was the sister-in-law of Anfey . Any of them could turn around the city if they wanted to .
Even though neither Niya nor Shally had any experience managing a city, they had to take over anyway . Niya was a little better than Shally handling the job . She did not have a specific plan, but she worded her orders with "for whatever cost", "even if you have to dig out the whole city", "otherwise" and other forceful words . If Anfey and others were there, they might have found Niya funny and cute . However, she was very serious about this job, and the patrols and troops did not think the same way as Anfey .
Urter finally came out of his coma . He slowly opened his eyes . He tried to turn his head to see the magic Transmission Portal behind him first . When he turned his head back to see what was in front of him, he was stunned .
Urter found himself lying in a beautiful and gigantic room . It would be not be an exaggeration to say it was a palace . Dozens of magic Forever-Lasting magic lights were hung on the walls . About half of the magic Forever-Lasting magic lights were out, but even with less than half of them lit, the place was very bright .
