Chapter 381 - Finding Trouble
“That’s weird, why is Sir Harvey here…” Johnathan muttered as he walked over with a few sleeping bags. While he said that, he turned to look at Harvey’s back. Earlier on, when Rina had her sword against Harvey’s neck, Johnathan went back to submit the forms and collect some sleeping bags for them. Hence, he did not see the conflict a few minutes ago.
Since Johnathan was not aware of it, Lin Li naturally did not mention it to him.
“Oh, yes. Brother Felic, I hope Sir Harvey did not create any trouble for you?” Johnathan said with concern as he handed the sleeping bags to them.
“Nope.” Lin Li shook his head and smiled. Then, he asked curiously, “Brother Johnathan, you mean that this Sir Harvey tends to stir up trouble?”
“Erm… Actually, he doesn’t do it frequently…” Johnathan smiled bitterly. “But, Sir Harvey is more… arrogant, and doesn’t think highly of us common people. People who offend him would be in trouble…”
Lin Li could tell that Johnathan was trying to phrase his words really carefully. How would he not know the idea that underlay them? To boil it down, Harvey was a rich and pampered man who had zero respect for the Adventurers. Hence, Johnathan feared that Lin Li’s language would offend Harvey, and cause the latter to seek revenge.
Lin Li smiled. With his status right now, he did not need to give Harvey any importance. So what if he were to offend the Malfa Family? Would they be heading to the Tower of Dusk for revenge? If so, the All-Kill Array might not be that kind to them, either…
“Master, Iminia is here to serve you.”
Lin Li could tell that the hideous face seemed even mightier as compared to the time he saw it at the Tower of Dusk. Connoris was right. The phantom left behind by the Lord of Nightmares had grown to be more powerful after he instilled his mental strength into the seal every day. Perhaps one day, it would be strong enough to summon the real Lord of Nightmares…
“Go, Iminia, help me welcome the guests outside. Make them fall asleep, but be careful not to harm them.”
“Alright, Master. ”
Iminia dissipated in the air right after he answered Lin Li. His hideous face transformed into black smoke and left the tent through a small opening. In the twinkling of an eye, this black smoke surrounded the five Adventurers. Iminia was a phantom left behind from the Lord of Nightmares, who was skilled in using spiritual force to attack souls. A gust of mental strength entered the minds of the five people; Iminia did not even face any obstruction when he dealt with these low-level Warriors…
What followed was the sound of five level-13 or level-14 Adventurers falling to the ground, asleep in the blink of an eye.
“Not bad…” Lin Li smiled in satisfaction. The power of the Lord of Nightmares was stronger than he’d expected. He knew that the large amount of magical crystals did not go to waste.
After settling the meddlesome Adventurers, Lin Li could finally have a good night’s sleep. However, he woke up again in the early morning due to Johnathan.
“Brother Felic, brother Felic! Wake up, there’s trouble!
Lin Li was in deep slumber when Johnathan dashed into the tent. Although he finally woke up due to Johnathan, he did not manage to make clear of the situation.
“What happened, Brother Johnathan…?” asked Lin Li groggily.
“Last night, there were a few Adventurers who fell asleep outside, so everyone is suspecting that they got cursed. So, they are arguing over that now. Do you want to go and take a look?”
“…” Lin Li nearly went crazy. Johnathan was too nosy! Instead of waking him up to watch some commotion, why didn’t he do other things that would reap more benefits?
“I say, Brother Johnathan, I don’t think this matter is related to me. Why don’t you let me sleep a few more minutes?
“Nope, even if you’re not interested in the conflict, you are not to sleep already!”
