The sinister man’s expression changed drastically but the surrounding elves did not worry too much about it. They found Sade to be unharmed and safe as if nothing had hit him. Not only that but the villagers were there, witnessing the strength and imperviousness that Sade had as well.

When Wenda saw this, he immediately rushed forward and kept sizing up Sade, as if he was deeply afraid that Sade would lose his limb or other parts of his body. After all, Sade was the bloodline of Prescott, not only was he the son of their Wenda’s hero but he also had the blood of a Giant Dragon too. Wenda was aware of the severity of the situation, even if there was a massacre going on and every villager was killed, he could not allow Sade to get hurt.

“Sade, are you okay?” Wenda worriedly asked.

“Grandpa Wenda, I’m fine.” Sade saw Wenda’s concern and tried to calm him down.

Everyone heard what Sade was saying and was completely surprised. They saw that lightning magic was directly attacking Sade, how could he possibly sustain no damage at all. It was probably because he was the child of a dragon. Wenda slowly heaved out a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t understand how a child of the dragon came in the form of a human, it wasn’t his greatest concern. As long as Sade was safe, everything would be all right.

With all the ups and downs that had happened, Wenda expressed that he was getting old and that the ordeal was too much for him. At this moment, the elf villagers had gathered around Sade and were concerned about his safety. On the other end, Vern was still there, almost covered entirely with feces and urine, and had nothing to say. Even the sinister man that came with him and his group had been ignoring Vern. In all honesty, after the incident, his traveling companion had grown to hate him after they saw what he did. While it was true that he had talent but his attitude and personality were extremely unbearable. As the Second Prince of a kingdom, Vern also had a relationship with the Third Prince of the Magic Empire. One could only guess why he would come to bully this quaint elven village in such a remote area.

Even though the sinister man had done more barbaric and ruthless things, he still felt that what Vern did was too much. Originally, they had planned to ignore Vern and carry out the mission themselves but when he thought of his superior, the Vice-Captain, the sinister man once again endured it. He arranged for the people behind him to carry Vern away. As for the Magic Beast, the sinister man didn’t bother to take it back or to do anything else with it, so he just abandoned it there. Tonight, they would have to camp in the wilderness. At the same time, the vicious man had something he wanted to know. He subconsciously glanced at Sade, who was surrounded by the elves. His triangular eyes flashed as if he was thinking about something.

Soon, the farce ended. The sinister man and his group left the elf village dejectedly. Wenda didn’t cast away the Magical Beast that was left behind. Instead, he used water magic to wash the dirt from the Magical Beast’s body and even the feces and urine on the ground. He removed the shackles and the eye cover that was restricting the being. The land-type Magic Beast was a beast that came from nature itself. Moreover, most of the Magical Beasts that were used for riding were extremely docile. Usually, there would be a special Beast Tamer who would train the Magical Beast since young. After training, he would then put the shackles on it so that it would be easy to control and to later be sold.

Elves loved nature, and the vast majority of them were unwilling to put shackles on animals and Magical Beasts. Therefore, when the Magical Beast had woken up on its own, Wenda had prepared to place it in the natural forest and let it live freely. However, the strange thing was that this Magical Beast did not leave. Instead, it remained in the elf village, no one had ever thought that the beast would behave in such a way that was so unusual for magical beings. As Wenda saw what was happening, he had no other choice but to let it be.

The sinister man and his men had finally left the Elf Village, even if this was the border, it was still within the proximity of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There was no guarantee that they would be safe from an attack of Magical Beasts. It was because of this reason that their group ran for a full thirty miles towards the north of the Magical Beasts Mountain Range. Finally, they stopped on a large rock in a forest.

As they dismounted one by one, some of them were preparing the ground for camping. Some of them started to light bonfires. It was obvious that they were already very familiar with these things. As for the sinister man who brought Vern along, his face ashen as he threw the unconscious Vern off his Magical Beast. It was obvious that he did not plan to care about Vern anymore, Everyone needed to fend for themselves in a situation like this.

As the bonfire was lit, the sinister man and his group sat down around the bonfire.

“Boss, what should we do next?” One of them asked and spat at Vern, who was lying in the distance.

“F*ck, how unlucky are we? If it weren’t for this fool Vern, we would be eating and sleeping in the Elf Village by now.” he added “You think you’re so special, huh? Thinking that by being a Prince, you’re above everyone. Who isn’t a Prince these days anyway?”

“Lower your voice! Who knows if this b*stard is awake? Don’t forget that his brother is the Vice-Captain of mages that were being controlled by the Third Prince. If he heard you and reported it, you’d be in trouble!” One person who was sitting in a conversation lifted his index finger toward his mouth and made a “silence” gesture.

He was the common mage in the Mage Association and everyone knew that Vern vvas the brother of the Vice-Captain. It was because of this that the group kept fawning over Vern on their way here, in the hopes that Vern would speak well of them to his Vice-Captain’s brother. None of them knew that Vern was going to cause trouble in the Elf Village. It was just a branch of the elf tribe too and the highest rank was only an old elf. Even then, they saw the flag with a

black pattern hanging outside of the wall of the village with their own eyes— that was the flag of the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce!

Perhaps the people in this remote kingdom near the Magical Beasts Mountain Range would not know what it was but as people who had studied in the Magic Empire since childhood, they were familiarised with what the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce was! It was a large-scale chamber of commerce with an extremely wide range of coverage. On the Kellen Continent, it was as famous as the Nebula Chamber of Commerce in the human world and its merchants were spread almost all over the Kellen Continent, The fascinating thing was that the members of the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce don’t restrict its members to humans, instead, elves, dwarfs, orcs, goblins, and even the Magical Beasts were a part of it! Any race that was sentient could become the customers of the Spirit Wind Chamber of Commerce or the merchants that belonged to it.

This was the reason that this chamber of commerce was so popular because many races of intelligent beings were under its protection. The blue flag with black stripes outside the elven village was the most typical example. The sinister man saw the flag and that was the reason that he didn’t want to cause any trouble but it was in their best interest to not cause any trouble anyway, with or without the flag.

After all, they had a special command from the Third Prince, and everything needed to be done discreetly. Now it might’ve been too late since Vern ruined everything with that temper tantrum. Their actions had already been exposed when Vern announced his name in the elf village.

“Damn it, ever since I joined the Third Prince, I have never been so humiliated!” Another member also complained about Vern’s action. The Third Prince had repeatedly warned them not to expose themselves in this mission. They had also thought that as long as they were moderately cautious, there wouldn’t be any trouble upholding that request. They had never thought that they would die before they had even finished their mission. The Third Prince’s strength was unmatchable and it was obvious that he would’ve been frustrated if he knew what had happened.

While everyone had an aggrieved expression on their faces, there was a feminine man who did not join the rest of the group in their complaints about Vern. Instead, he took out a square-shaped copper ball from his chest. The copper ball was inlaid with a bright red gemstone on every side. The outer layer of the six rubies was surrounded by two distinctive white rings. At this moment, the red glow from the rubies was shining toward the white circling rings. Then the white rings had turned bright red.

At this moment, the sinister man’s originally gloomy triangular eyes widened like two lightbulbs and everyone in that circle was thinking the same thing.

“Dear God, why is the talent detector shining at its fullest potential?”.
