Elemental Light Mage

"I see. I didn't expect that he actually went to the Gilligat Empire in the magical world."

Shen Zhuchen and Cosette were sitting in a noodle shop talking about Xi Yeming.

"So, little girl, you are also a victim saved by Xi Yeming?"

Cosette nodded in response, biting the noodles between her teeth.

"I never thought he would accept you as a student."

Shen Zhuchen still found it unbelievable, because the girl in front of him seemed to have nothing special except for her noble status.

How could Cosette dare to tell the truth that she had only learned the basics of elemental magic and yet she claimed to be Xi Yeming's student?

Whether it was the Ten Wills of the Holy Will or anyone else, they were all very curious about what Xi Yeming had taught Cosette. After all, although the reputation of the Holy Will of Desire was polarized, its strength was real and should not be underestimated.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Since he is the student of his benefactor, Shen Zhuchen should take better care of him.

"I want to ask the Holy Will of Courage or the Holy Will of Gentleness to come forward and clear the teacher's name."

Cosette was determined to make those people from the publishing company shut up no matter what. She had already claimed to be Xi Yeming's student, so how could she allow others to insult her mentor?

"You are a kind and good child."

Shen Zhuchen laid his head on the pillow of the wheelchair and let out a long sigh.

Since he was born, Shen Zhuchen, who was trained as the next head of the family, has seen too many evil hearts. Betrayal and purges are also common in the Peacock Clan or other families.

In order to gain military merit and become the clan leader legitimately, Shen Zhuchen became a part of the war. However, he did not expect to be ambushed by the five major countries and almost died on the battlefield.

When half of his leg was already buried in the gates of hell, that figure came out from the battlefield and risked his life to save him, Shen Zhuchen.

"Saint Will of Desire, I don't know if I will have the chance to repay you in this life, but I, Shen Zhuchen, will never sit idly by and watch your affairs at the junction of the worlds and your student."

Shen Zhuchen made a silent decision in his heart.

"Take your time to eat. I'm going to go out for a while."

When the wheelchair was controlled to move out of the noodle shop, a magician appeared beside Shen Zhuchen.

"Chief, this matter was probably instigated by the deputy city lord. Are we sure we want to intervene?"

"When has there ever been a conspiracy theory about the Ten Saints? Back then, when old Canglang was one of the Ten Saints, he killed his fellow disciples with his own hands, and no one dared to speak out. But Protony wanted to put the Ten Saints in an unjust situation."

"According to the informant, the deputy city lord probably wants to cultivate his own powerful force at the junction of the worlds."

"What a greedy old man..." Shen Zhuchen's eyes were full of disgust for Protony. "Giving him the arsenal was not enough, and he even wanted more. He was promoted to deputy city lord just because of his outstanding talent. He has not improved at all over the years, and his ability to harm people has been honed a lot."

"Please think twice, Chief. The Holy Shield clan has not yet made its position clear. If we rashly attack, the deputy city lord does not know what the city lord is doing..."

His subordinates still tried their best to dissuade Shen Zhuchen. After all, the Peacock Clan was not the most valiant and warlike family. If they became the target of public criticism, they would inevitably suffer an unexpected disaster.

Shen Zhuchen said angrily: "Don't you understand?"

"I am ignorant, please tell me, Chief."

"That old scoundrel of the city lord is just waiting for the fight between Shengyi Shizhi and the deputy city lord so that he can reap the benefits. I guess he has already set up the game and is waiting for the two sides to fight each other."

The Twenty-Three Families and Kilgore College were probably able to guess what the City Lord was thinking, but whether or not to intervene in the matter was another matter.

"Patriarch, what should we do?"

"From what I've seen, even though the deputy city lord keeps sending people to harass the Ten Wills of the Holy Will, he will become more and more passive as time goes on."

"No matter how much the Ten Wills of the Holy Will are slandered, their importance to the junction of the worlds cannot be changed overnight. Moreover, the Ten Wills of the Holy Will are backed by the Kilgard Academy. If you want to help us, help the Ten Wills of the Holy Will."

"My subordinate understands."

Just as the magician was about to disappear, Shen Zhuchen stopped him.

"Don't leave yet."

"What are the instructions of the Patriarch?"

Shen Zhuchen clenched his fists and hammered on the wheelchair, "Although we can't directly lock up Protony, we can still put an end to his arrogance."

"What is the Patriarch going to do?"

"Contact some people and kill that shameless guy from the publishing company! Let others see that the job of deputy city lord is not that easy to take!"

-

In the territory of the Undead clan outside the junction of the worlds, Kasong looked at the clan buildings with mixed feelings. He had not been home for a long time, and this time he returned he wanted to visit his family.

What puzzled Kasong was that there were only a few people guarding the gate. After a brief gesture, Kasong pushed open the door and returned home.

The road was unobstructed. Logically speaking, the Undead were emotionally indifferent, so it was understandable that no one came to greet them, but Kasong always had a bad feeling.

Finally, they arrived at the hall of the main house, where Kasong's parents had been waiting for a long time.

Kasong called out, "Dad, Mom."

The patriarch and his wife did not respond to their son's greeting in time. Instead, the patriarch waved his hand impatiently and signaled Kasong's mother to ask.

"Kasong, have you joined the deputy city lord's forces?"

Kasong frowned slightly, and he understood why he was treated coldly along the way.

"Yes."

"When did you become his disciple?"

Kazon answered truthfully: "As early as a year ago, I discussed the Locke incident and the Portal War with him in detail."

My father couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and scolded, "How dare you go along with the deputy city lord? Do you know -"

Kason was not to be outdone. He joined Protonius for the sake of his entire family.

"What do I know? Do you know that our entire family stays on the periphery of the world junction at all times, not only to guard against the garrisons of the five major countries in the magical world, but also to worry about invasions from the real world?"

Kasong argued: "Father, do you know how many times our Undead Clan has almost been destroyed here? Father, don't you think about our clan members and the inheritance of our Undead Clan?"

Kason's father's facial features twisted like a fan, but he gradually calmed down. However, as the patriarch, he never expected that his son would go to Protoni for such a reason.

"So you went to join the deputy city lord?"

Kasong still expressed his great ambition, "As long as the deputy city lord's voice can surpass that of the Holy Shield Clan, the status of the Undead Clan will also rise day by day."

Kasong's mother could only ask her useless son, "Why do you think the Outsiders can defeat the Holy Shield Clan and even the Twenty-Three Families?"

No outsider had ever been able to match Protony in terms of politics and power at the junction of the worlds, but that was just the respect that the Twenty-Three Families gave Protony.

Kasong was distracted by his mother's questioning and recalled the "outsider" who once was with him.

"Kazon, why are you...!"

"...!"

The cry of his former best friend woke Kason up and brought him back to reality.

Kasong's father leaned back in his chair as if resigned to his fate. He closed his eyes and said helplessly, "If your brother were here, he wouldn't have done such an immature thing."
