Chapter 511 The Regretful Middle-Aged Mage, the Gathering Place of the Red Ornament Guild
"Jiang Han, do you feel like someone is following us?" Jiang Shaoxu whispered, pulling on Jiang Han's arm.
Jiang Han casually said, "Yes, the person is in that alley less than a hundred meters away from us. They are probably members of the Red Ornament Guild who escaped from Fragrant Grass Village."
"Should we grab him and see if we can get any useful information out of him?" Jiang Shaoxu continued.
"He's just a nobody. What useful information could he possibly know? Let's keep him around as bait," Jiang Han said.
Jiang Shaoxu was the kind of person who was rather carefree and independent. Seeing that Jiang Han already had a plan, she naturally stopped paying attention to the rat that was following her and dragged Jiang Han around the various shops in the town center, such as food, clothing, and amusement parks. In one afternoon, they had almost explored the entire Blue Stone Town.
As the two strolled through the streets, the number of rats following them grew larger and larger. Jiang Han even used his soul to count the number of rats while they were out shopping. Most of the twenty-odd rats were mid-level mages, and there was also a middle-aged man with a stubble beard who was a high-level mage.
If it were a single member of the Nationalist team encountering this, they might actually be in danger. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent. Jiang Han is not someone they can handle, not to mention that Jiang Fox beside them is a support mage specializing in mental magic.
After shopping, Jiang Han and Jiang Shaoxu did not go straight back to the hotel. Instead, they headed in the opposite direction to the outskirts of the town, intending to get rid of the rats following them.
On the outskirts of town, there was a long-abandoned residential area that had been attacked by sea monsters. This was the burial place that Jiang Han had found for the rats that followed.
After climbing over the rusty construction machinery and sheet metal fences on the outside, I found a relatively clean stone slab to sit on and waited for the rats to fall into my trap.
Before the two had even rested for a few minutes, a cacophony of footsteps and shouts erupted outside the metal fence.
"Quick, quick, don't let them get away!"
Suddenly, ripples spread across the ground, the metal fence began to separate, and then a group of people dressed in red and wearing ornaments rushed in from outside.
"So it was you who killed my dear Oni and that good-for-nothing Sig?" The bearded middle-aged mage stepped forward and questioned.
"I don't like nonsense," Jiang Han said indifferently.
"What a coincidence, I don't like wasting my breath on you either." As he spoke, golden star charts appeared around the middle-aged mage, and the stars in the star charts connected with each other to form a dazzling golden constellation.
"Go to hell and repent to my Oni!!"
"Light rained down, covering the ground!!!"
Countless golden longswords materialized out of thin air and, under the control of the middle-aged mage, shot towards Jiang Han and his companion.
Facing the incoming golden longsword, Jiang Han activated the Thunder Dragon Armguard. A purple armguard appeared on Jiang Han's left hand, and the thunder dragon on it seemed to come alive, spitting out a bolt of lightning. The lightning exploded above Jiang Han and the other person's heads and then transformed into a light purple barrier that protected them.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! ...
The golden sword shattered into specks of golden light the moment it touched the barrier, and the raging lightning and the sword were instantly obliterated. When the middle-aged mage saw that his magic had not harmed Jiang Han, he immediately realized that the purple arm guard on Jiang Han's arm was no ordinary weapon.
"This level of magical artifact consumes a lot of magical energy. Whoever can break his barrier will be rewarded with 50,000 US dollars." The middle-aged mage looked at the purple arm guard on Jiang Han's left arm with greed in his eyes.
"Yes, boss!" the twenty-odd red-adorned mages shouted excitedly.
One after another, star maps appeared, followed by all sorts of magic falling on the lightning barrier: a giant fiery fist, an ice lock like a python, a tornado like a black dragon, a towering storm wave, and so on!
After the magic dissipated, the lightning barrier remained intact, and Jiang Han and Jiang Shaoxu inside the barrier were naturally unharmed.
"Chain of the Mind - Restlessness!!" An invisible wisp of mental power emanated from within the barrier, then swept over the mages of the Crimson Ornament Guild, and immediately the star charts drawn by dozens of mages collapsed.
Jiang Han's clothes fluttered without wind, and countless grayish-white wisps of yin energy spread out from him. Realizing something was wrong, the middle-aged mage immediately shouted, "It's a ghost! Run!!"
He then used Wind Trace to create distance between himself and Jiang Han. Although Wind Trace can increase a mage's speed, it is still far behind the speed of a ghost.
A gigantic, ghostly Blue Valley Beast hovered behind the middle-aged mage. The chilling aura emanating from the ghost startled the mage, and by the time he regained his senses, Jiang Han had already grabbed him with his mind control.
As for the other subordinates, they were all slaughtered by the undead general and undead warriors. The middle-aged mage was terrified by the severed limbs and broken arms scattered all over the ground. He never expected that the person he wanted to take revenge on was so terrifying. He was simply a ruthless devil who killed without blinking an eye!
"I'll give you a chance. If you can give me some information that satisfies me, I might let you go," Jiang Han said indifferently, waving his hand to throw the middle-aged mage to the ground.
The middle-aged mage had just gotten up from the ground when he tried to cast Wind Track, but alas, Jiang Han had already had the Blue Valley Ferocious Beast imprison his mental world. No matter how he tried, he could not connect to the star track, let alone escape with Wind Track.
"You really will let me go?" the middle-aged monk asked tentatively after several attempts.
The latest novel is first published here!
"Do you have any other options?" Jiang Han countered.
The middle-aged monk was speechless upon hearing this. Indeed, did he have any other choice at this point?
After a long silence, the middle-aged mage finally spoke, "The leaders of our Red Ornament Guild will hold a high-level meeting tonight at the Magic Ship Bar in Whitehead Harbor to discuss matters related to accepting us as part of the Whitehead City Guardian Mage Corps."
"Furthermore, I've heard that Chairman Lawrence of Whitehead City will personally receive our Lord Caso."
"The chairman of Baitou City is actually connected with your Red Ornaments Guild?" Jiang Shaoxu said with some surprise.
"Yes, the reason we have been able to dominate the Caribbean for years without being completely wiped out is because we pay a considerable sum of money to Chairman Law and other officials every year to ensure that we will not be wiped out by a joint effort."
"The reason why Lauren and those officials wanted to recruit us this time was mainly because the Siren Monitoring Bureau said that the Red Tide was coming soon, and there was a serious shortage of Guardian Mages in Whitehead City. That's why Lauren and the others had the idea of recruiting our Red Ornament Guild." The middle-aged mage said with pride.
However, when he met Jiang Han's indifferent gaze, he immediately became terrified, fearing that Jiang Han would become disgusted with him and kill him. But he never imagined that Jiang Han had never intended to let him go from the very beginning.
