…
Arjing Village is one of the forward fronts of the Main Arjing City against the forces outside of its territory. So in this village, there are many soldiers and mages that are responsible for protecting the border.
As Shin Jiao and his group enter the village they are greeting with a busy sight. They could see many people everywhere, mercenaries, mages, and common village folks. Though Jixingyo Village is also busy, Arjing Village is three times busier and has almost three times the population.
When he spread his spiritual sense, though limited to 100 meters in radius, Shin Jiao immediately saw the dense population of people within his range.
"This is a good place to collect some materials and ingredients…" he muttered.
Xiamen Gong on the side nodded his head in agreement.
"I will leave the negotiation to you two. Do a good job and I will reward you…" Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.
"Humph… If we do a good job, I wanted to have what High Lord Nariz Gumal wields… Those so-called handguns… I think I might be able to protect myself with those." Hua Xiao said with a serious expression.
"Hmmm… Alright, earn my trust and I will not betray you. But gain my ire again, and I will make sure to leave you in this place." Shin Jiao said as he turns around and left.
"Humph!… What a stinky fellow…" Hua Xiao said with a pout.
"Sigh… You should tone down your attitude in this place. I think you should have guessed it now… Shin Jiao is helping us though we attacked him before. He is the kind of person who doesn't like trouble, but would not back down if trouble looks for him. Just go with the flow and cooperate, I know that this guy has a way to get us out of this place." Xiamen Gong said while helplessly explaining.
"Humph… I know you don't have to remind me. Why do you think I agree to his proposal?"
"That's good then… But I'm worried about that Ansen fellow."
"Che… That guy is a proud fool. He still thinks that he is still a lord in this place. I think he is planning on doing something…"
"Don't mind him. It's his funeral if he gains the ire of that guy Shin Jiao."
…
Soon the group arrives in front of a two-story building, the woman leading the group gestured for Xiamen Gong and Hua Xiao to enter. The two enters and were followed by two mages with the cultivation level of 9th mage.
Each of them are confident that if there is a fight that would break out, though they could not defeat their opponent their escape is still possible.
Inside that two-story building, an intense negotiation will begin.
Meanwhile, back on the ship, everyone is busy preparing the things that they are going to sell. Some of the mages who are working with the canned meat are still manufacturing them while others are busy with their training at the ship's deck.
Then suddenly a guard saw some people approaching the large ship.
These are the group of the bearded man and their guards. Though he holds on to his temper at that time even though he was a bit insulted because of the village head, he could not take the insult and decided to approach the ship. He wanted to see how special and confident that guy really is.
"Halt! Do not proceed further or we will take some defensive measure!" the guard who is standing just outside of the perimeter barrier of the ship shouted at the approaching group.
"Haha… Can a mere 8th level mage dare to stop High Mages? Are you insulting us?" shouted one of the companions of the bearded middle-aged man.
The guards did not say anything and just grabs his spear-like staff and pointed it at the approaching people.
His action annoyed one of the guards of the bearded middle-aged man and suddenly grabs his sword and dashed towards the guarding mage.
His speed was very fast as he is a 5th level warrior. Everyone knew that mages are weak against close combat. And one could only defeat them through speed and using powerful close-quarter combat. Though mages are feared and respected, warriors on the other hand have their own way of dealing with them.
Using anti-magic armor and enchanted weapons could gain an advantage against mages. And right now the guards of the bearded middle-aged man have these kinds of equipment. Plus as warriors who have reached the 5th level, they could fight against mages of the same level or even higher with the proper equipment.
So, in the eyes of the guards, this 8th level mage is an easy target. Plus he is alone and even after shouting no one rush to his side.
It only means that the security of this place is lacking.
With this in mind, the guard who is attacking is already excited. He wanted to show his prowess to his master and gain his praises.
When the warrior guard was about 1 meter away from the guarding mage, he suddenly did a quick draw slash of his sword while he is still in a forwards motion.
His momentum would add to his attacking strike and he knew that he could easily take down the guarding mage.
Swoosh!
The sound of his blade echoed through the air as it was drawn from its scabbard.
Ding!
Thud!
But who would have known that the charging guard would suddenly hit an invisible wall that suddenly deflects his glowing sword and make him hit the invisible wall breaking his nose in the process?
With a smirk, the mage guard did not hesitate to fire ice lances from his spear-like staff.
Swoosh! Kat-cha! Kat-cha!
The ice lances directly impales the guard to the ground and died without even the chance of fighting back.
The mages have been trained to fight and were given strict instructions that when attacked they should not hesitate to defend themselves and capture or kill their attackers.
The situation in front of them is now a bit tense as the rest of the advancing group from the village stopped on their tracks.
Who would have known that this ship is protected by an invisible barrier?
"You killed my guard! You should pay for this!" the bearded middle-aged man shouted as he suddenly began forming a large fireball from his hands.
"Let's see if this barrier of yours can protect you." he sneered as he suddenly threw the large fireball towards the guarding mage.
The mage, on the other hand, did not have any reaction and just looks the incoming fireball with a diameter of around 2 meters.
He subconsciously squinted his eyes and look to the side.
Ka-boom!
A loud explosion rocks the area and the rebounding force threw the bearded middle-aged man along with his group a few meters back making them tumble to the ground.
From the deck, a few mages came running to see what is happening.
Meanwhile, Nariz Gumal, Im Jae, and Im Ao also run to look at what is going on.
They saw black smoke rising from the outer part of the barrier and some people are thrown to the ground.
"Big sister, look at those fools… Hahaha… They look funny…" the cute voice of Im Ao made the rest of the people on the deck chuckle.
A burly youth walks beside Im Ao and when he saw those people on the ground he shook his head.
"Those people might have some influence in the village. Tell the guards not to kill them, it would affect Master Shin's plan." Axle Long said upon seeing that some of those guys are not wearing just some simple clothing.
"Oh… really? They came here to mess with us, right?" Im Jae asked.
A snooty voice came from behind her as a beautiful woman walks beside Axle Long.
"You don't know anything, such a country bumpkin really... Im Jae, you should learn more about the world and how it works." Vilma Song chided.
"If we kill those guys, the village might hate us and the negotiation of Master Xiamen Gong might even fail because of this… So you must know how to restrain yourself." Vilma Song added.
Though she is haughty and proud, she still knew how to gauge situations. She just did not want to tell this kindly to Im Jae because of her complicated feelings for her. Jealousy, envy, resentment, and bitterness, are just some of the emotions she is feeling towards Im Jae.
She was the famous young mistress of the Song family, but she was brought to this world because of those three so how could she not hate them? But still, she did not want to experience the same experience she had when she was taken as a prisoner.
So though she hated the girl and that guy, Shin Jiao, she could not deny the fact that she was still saved by them. So this complicated relationship is somewhat ticking her off.
But Im Jae did not bother with the woman and just frowns.
"What should we do with them then?" she said while turning towards Axle Long.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
