Chapter 390 - Strange Magical Crystal
But, Jason knew he could not do it now. Having known Adelo for quite some time, he noticed that this Archmage had been tagging along with Emendas for the longest time he could remember. Jason even suspected that everything was just a façade, and that Archmage had to be the real leader of the team, whom Emendas and Hahn had to take orders from. Even Hutton, the first heir of the Malfa Family, would become especially ingratiating when Adelo’s name was mentioned. That closeness he portrayed from within, and it was a type of closeness that he didn’t treat his biological brother with…
He would be caught by Adelo and be seen as a traitor if he were to chase after Felic now. Then, he would not even be able to inform Felic about it.
Should I find a mutual friend to convey the message?
But, whom should I find…?
Weathor and Rotiah would not be able to take on the task, as they could be easily recognized by Adelo. If he were to find out about it, Jason would be unmasked as the obvious mastermind.
“Oh, yes. Jason, are you interested in venturing into Aminya after you complete this mission? I can arrange for you to work under the Malfa Family then,” Hutton asked Jason smilingly.
“Huh…?” Jason was shocked by the sudden offer.
Sending the advance party into the Scar of Death was definitely not just a way for Hahn to silence the people he despised. From the map in Johnathan’s hand and the six magical crystals in Reggie’s, Lin Li could deduce that the real person in charge of the mission had to be somebody else.
It was not difficult to guess who that person was…
There were 12 people in the advance party. Apart from his and Reggie’s friends, there were three other suspicious men. Among the three of them, there would only be one who would fear the Devouring Force of the crystal…
Yes, there was a mage aged around 40.
Only this could explain why Reggie was in charge of those six important magical crystals. Those crystals had the power to engulf mana, and any mage who came into contact with them would have their mana drained by them, being turned into a cripple with zero amount of mana.
Thinking of it, Lin Li glanced at that mage skeptically.
That mage seemed to be a normal man. He was just like many other mages at his age, and had the ability of a level-10 Magic Shooter. Lin Li could not tell if he had any outstanding talents, and it had to be many years of practice that brought him to where he was right now. He was like any other common mage in Anril World who would join the Adventurers’ ranks to earn enough money to support his magic research. If Lin Li had to use a word to describe him, it would only be “ordinary”…
