Chapter 147: Escaped!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at the crack on the head of his magic staff, Alan was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at the magic staff in his hand, then looked at the tile in Autumn’s hands.
The tile was completely fine, and there wasn’t even a scratch on the surface.
But! His magic staff! Had actually cracked!
What the hell?!
The head of his magic staff was made of the magic core of a tier 6 salamander!
The core was supposed to be extremely hard, and could even be considered outstanding even among the magic cores of the same level.
But now, it couldn’t even break a damned tile!?
He must be holding a fake magic staff!
However, before Alan could recover from his shock, as if unable to withstand some kind of pressure, a series of cracks sounded, and the head of his magic staff shattered into pieces.
Under Alan’s dazed gaze, it turned into fine dust!
Without this magic core, the tier 6 fire-element magic staff was equivalent to being crippled.
Holy shit!!
This time, the three of them were instantly stunned.
Was this reasonable?
At this time, the three people only had one thought in their minds, “Oh my God, what kind of tiles are these? Even a tier 6 magic staff was shattered!”
Ron carefully observed the floor tiles.
They were silver with a tinge of cyan, and they did not look very heavy.
It was obvious that the tiles weren’t made of stone.
The tiles didn’t seem to weigh much either, after all, even the maidservants could easily lift them.
Although magic staffs weren’t usually used for close combat with the enemy, their durability was usually quite solid, especially if magic cores had been smelted into the staff, which would reinforce the core part of the staff.
But now, the magic core on Alan’s magic staff was directly shattered.
Something light, hard, and silver at the same time. There seemed to be only one material that fulfilled these criteria… …
Ron suddenly thought of a material.
The material was very precious.
If only a little of it was added to a weapon, it would greatly improve the performance of the weapon.
It could reduce the weight of a weapon or equipment while also increasing its hardness.
Not only that, this kind of material could also be enchanted to have several different attributes at the same time.
It could be said that it was one of the materials that warriors and knights loved the most and hated the most.
That was material was mithril.
It was easy to understand why the warriors and knights would love mithril. It could greatly increase one’s combat strength, every warrior and knight loved it to the bone.
It was equally easy to understand why they hated it. After all, the enemy would also be using mithril. When the time came, they would be complaining about injustice.
Could it be that the whole floor was made of mithril?
Ron was suddenly shocked by this idea of his because from this, he thought of an even more terrifying thing.
If the floor here alone was made of mithril, then wouldn’t the entire castle be made of mithril as well…
Good God, let alone King Andrew, even those people from the Empire Alliance couldn’t have achieved this!
Ron stuck out his tongue in disbelief.
Autumn seemed to be too lazy to pay much attention to an ignorant fool like Alan.
She walked straight to Thor’s side.
She placed the tile in her hands directly on the empty space on the ground.
It fitted perfectly.
There were no gaps left.
The overall alchemy technique was very good.
Autumn was also somewhat proud.
This was her first time using mithril to refine a tile, there were many things she had to pay attention to.
To be honest, she didn’t expect herself to be able to achieve such good quality on her first try.
After dealing with the floor problem, all that was left was to deal with these people who had suddenly appeared.
Thor seemed to have lost her patience.
“I don’t want any of your treasures. They’re all a pile of trash.”
Seeing that the few of them didn’t refute, Thor continued.
“Now, one of you go back and get the money. If you want to do business, you can’t do it without money. I don’t know what’s going on in your brains, but to think you didn’t bring any gold coins with you when you came to do business!”
Hearing Thor’s lecture, the few of them wanted to cry, but they couldn’t.
It wasn’t that they didn’t bring any money, it was whatever they brought was trash in Thor’s eyes.
However, when they heard that, someone could leave to get the money, Alan’s eyes immediately lit up.
This was a good opportunity to escape.
The candidate for such an important task should be, of course, the first heir of the William Family, himself.
Be it Lisa or Ron, both of them could not compete against him in terms of power or status.
Thus, this candidate could only be him.
Alan immediately stretched out his hand and said, “I want to go back and get the money on behalf of the William Family!”
Lisa, who had originally planned on feigning some reservations, immediately raised her hand when she saw Alan being so enthusiastic.
“Lalso want to go back and get the money on behalf of the William Family.”
She ignored Alan, who had was looking at her with a threatening look on his face.
‘Was he joking? This seemed to be the only chance for her to escape now, she naturally had to fight for it.
Ron was the only one who did not raise his hand.
It was not that Ron did not want to go back, he wanted to, but he knew that Family Head Lowe would never believe in him if he went back alone and asked for a huge sum of money.
Now was the moment of crisis for the family.
If Ron did as such, it would seem more like he had gotten the formula and was going to betray the family.
Family Head Lowe would never let him do this no matter the reason.
This meant that if he was the one who went, these two people would die here.
Of course, it wasn’t that Ron had a sense of justice, it was just that he didn’t want to do anything that would endanger the family at this juncture.
He was still a member of the William Family after all.
The family’s interests were above everything else.
That was why Ron didn’t raise his hand till the end.
He watched as Alan and Lisa were about to start a fight over who should go out.
Thor also had a huge headache from all the squabbling.
She waved her small hand and said, “Stop arguing! You two go together and get the gold coins.”
Not wanting to hear the two of them continue to argue, Thor directly gave the two of them the chance to leave.
Alan and Lisa, who were still arguing, were also stunned for a moment.
Then, their faces were filled with ecstasy.
They immediately shook hands to make peace, as if they had completely forgotten what had just happened.
Thor did not even look at them.
“Hurry up and scram.”
Upon hearing this, Alan and Lisa immediately left the castle without saying a word.
They plunged into the Forest of Magic Beasts.
Here, they confirmed that John had been crushed to death by the rock, and they also found Jack, who was unknown to be alive or dead.
Their speed became faster and faster.
They did not even look back until they came to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital.
At this point, the two of them finally felt a sense of security.
To begin with, mages did not have good physiques, thus at this moment, the two of them were panting heavily.
They turned around and looked in the direction of the castle that was no longer visible.
There was still a trace of fear hidden in their hearts.
‘What happened today was too strange.
They even almost lost their lives there.
Now, Alan and Lisa only wanted to grab the collar of Family Head Lowe’s shirt and tell him viciously, “How could that be a little lord or a little noble!? How could a little noble afford to raise such a powerhouse? There are only a few advanced powerhouses in the entire Imperial Capital, and the maidservant
in the castle was one of them! You even said there was no danger at all.. We were almost wiped out!”
