Chapter 133: A Bunch of Trash
“Miss, can you please stop standing in front of me?” Wang Wen sighed, as if he had nothing to live for.
“How would I know you guys are on the same path?” the female mage asked innocently. “I’m looking for my father. Who are you looking for?”
Wang Wen did not want to answer that question.
A military uniform person took the initiative to say, “The mages volunteering to join the army is an extremely encouraging piece of good news. The commander had already instructed that, once a mage joins the army, bring them to the headquarters. He wants to meet them.”
!!
After the female mage heard that, she shrugged helplessly at Wang Wen and said, “Then there’s nothing we can do. My father must be there too.”
The group of people followed the military officer forward.
The atmosphere was heavy. Even though it was already late at night, the people passing by were still in a hurry. Their faces were solemn as if the sky was about to collapse.
Wang Wen continued to persuade the female mage until they arrived in front of a secluded and quiet room. “I mean what I said. It’s fine to eliminate harm. You can go to the back and look at the rewards to see if any magic beasts had caused harm and perished with them?”
He was worried.
Mo Ran and the others did not understand what he was worried about.
He could not tell others to put themselves in harm’s way. What if other people found out about it?
He knew he could not use his ultimate skill.
Amid that worry, he tried his best to persuade the female mage.
After a while of doing that, he saw the door open. The female mage was slightly stunned; she nearly cried.
Someone said, “Why are you here?”
Then, the female mage threw herself into the arms of the person who opened the door and sobbed. “Daddy!”
Wang Wen knew it.
Everything was set in stone.
The divine stone was most likely ruined.
Wang Wen felt like he was on a roller coaster.
After the commander learned their identities, he was overjoyed. He welcomed them warmly.
On the other hand, the female mage was conversing with the man. “He said I had to die far away so as not to implicate others,” she said, pointing to Wang Wen. “He said it would be best if I were to die on the battlefield alongside the enemy, so I came.”
The whole place froze as soon as she said that.
Mo Ran and the others had their mouths open wider than the adjutants around them.
The commander’s enthusiasm a second ago seemed to have met with an extremely low temperature and instantly froze.
Wang Wen smiled awkwardly and tried to say, “If I said it was a misunderstanding, you would believe me, right?”
The man pulled his daughter away and walked in front of Wang Wen, glaring at him.
As an all-rounder tower climber who had returned from the 900th floor, Wang Wen had seen all kinds of situations.
The man glared at him.
His face was red; he thought his heart had stopped beating. Calmly, he retreated behind Mo Ran and said softly, “I don’t like fighting. It’s not that I can’t defeat you. I just prefer a calm environment. After all, we’re all close friends here.”
The man said, “Thank you. My daughter’s mischievousness had caused you trouble. Thank you for enlightening her at a critical moment and sending her to my side. It’s a brilliant move.”
The female mage froze. She obediently shrank to the side and did not make a sound.
Wang Wen doubted his hearing.
When he snapped back to his senses, he felt that the other party’s EQ was high enough. However, his words were polite.
The man continued to say, “I am Darbus. I owed you a favor. In the future, if you need help, you can look for me. I will do my best to help you.”
Wang Wen and the others had yet to react.
The commander was the first to exclaim in surprise. “You’ve obtained the favor of the continent’s only tier 9 mage. Your future is limitless!”
Wang Wen smiled. “It’s better not to have a future. Right now, some things need help. The Mage Association has a divine stone that can absorb spiritual power safely. They said that the only way to make it was… Well, you’d know about it since you created it, Master. I think you can teach me that technique.”
The commander did not want to get involved with the Mage Association. He quietly returned to the side of the sand table and started pondering the situation.
Darbus frowned slightly and asked, “You want to learn how to make the Magnificent Sacred Stone?”
Seeing Wang Wen’s affirmative nod, he fell into deep thought.
Wang Wen was curious. “Is that difficult?”
Darbus pursed his lips. He thought for a while and said, “It’s mainly about time. I invented the method for creating the Magnificent Sacred Stone. There are no existing teaching scrolls. I have to make it myself if I want to teach you. But I am about to go to the outskirts of the battlefield to save the night elves. I must defend that stronghold. There is no way to relax and create the teaching scrolls.”
“What?” Wang Wen was shocked when he heard that.
The commander beside the sand table sighed.
He waved his hand and asked the adjutant beside him to briefly explain what had just happened.
There were no outsiders there. They wanted Wang Wen to know about the real situation. After all, the commander personally led the human mages. They were there to put out fires. When the soldiers could no longer hold on, they would dispatch mages to attack the area and defeat the enemy, allowing the soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if they did not talk about it, the gravity of the situation could not be hidden for long.
They might as well be honest and open with the recruits and exchange trust and recognition.
Wang Wen and the others were shocked to learn that the situation had deteriorated so drastically.
The eagerness in Mo Ran’s eyes, especially when he looked at Wang Wen, was almost overwhelming.
“How about this?”
Wang Wen snatched the command right in front of everyone. He pulled Mo Ran outside and said, “Go help the night elves fight the monsters. Pay attention to the progress and wait for my notice.”
Then, he took out all the money bags and handed them to Ren Ruoruo. “You and Chen Hansheng stay here. It seems like the resources on the entire continent are here. Spend all your money and buy as many resources as we may need to climb the tower.”
In the end, he brought Zhu Xingguo along. He walked toward the commander and said, “We were waiting for the trap to take effect. Let’s see if we can speed up that trap. If the trap gets activated, the Archmage will not have to go save the night elves.”
He turned around and smiled at Darbus. “Then we’ll have time to write a scroll, right?”
Everyone listened to him.
The tower climbers behaved normally.
They had already started to prepare to split up. Mo Ran took out all his gold coins and handed them to Ren Ruoruo.
Chen Hansheng talked to his adjutant and asked if he could buy some supplies for the army.
Zhu Xingguo rubbed his hands together. It was the first time he had fought his master in a real battle. He was very excited, and he was playing with a trap in his hand.
However, other than the tower climbers, including the adjutant that Chen Hansheng pulled aside to chat with awkwardly, everyone was confused.
What were they talking about?
Did they think they were the saviors?
They were facing such a huge problem, yet those kids were there to make trouble for them. Were they playing a kid’s game? Did they think the rest of them were useless?
Most of the adjutants looked unhappy.
That was their job.
However, they did not say anything for the sake of the Archmage.
The commander’s expression, on the other hand, was somewhat intriguing.
He was smiling.
When he heard someone yelling nonsense in his territory, he smiled and gave up the sand table, pointing to the trap for Wang Wen and the other two to see.
He also began to act as a commentator, slowly explaining how the trap would work.
When the adjutants in charge of the trap saw that, they could not help but feel a little emotional. They walked to the sand table and protested. “Commander, those mages who volunteer to join the army are respectable, but there are specializations in their skills. The mages are good at magic, and that trap uses more secret mechanism techniques. I don’t think it’s suitable for mages to participate in it. They may very well destroy the progress.”
The commander smiled and did not say anything. He watched Wang Wen as they studied the sand table and the blueprint.
The adjutant was a little anxious. He took a step forward and said, “Commander, let them return to where they came from. If they continue this, the soldiers might feel demotivated. Are we not better than some kids?”
Before the commander could speak, Wang Wen spoke first.
He said, “F*ck, what were you people thinking? Why were you setting up such a shabby trap in such a good position? What about those people who had died? Why aren’t there more layers of load-bearing separation mechanisms? Why aren’t there any mechanisms on the wall of the well? Why aren’t there any mechanisms outside the well? Why aren’t there any mechanisms along the way? What a bunch of trash!”
