Chapter 343: Chapter 291: Receiving the Forest Fire?
Mountain Fire Sect.
This is a school composed of Wood Mages and Fire Mages.
Lin Ke climbed up a rather large lollipop building with Andor, supported by seven or eight pillars.
There are about a dozen buildings like this, all assets of the Mountain Forest Fire School.
There were people guarding under the pillars, but Andor and that person briefly connected through Magic Intermediary, checked information, and passed.
The interior of the building they came to was larger than Lin Ke imagined, and there were quite a few people.
There were people discussing, reading parchment, and eating.
There were also various partitioned areas, each with different functions, like ones for storing books and food, and the scenery outside was also quite nice.
Andor led Lin Ke straight to the innermost part.
"Welcome back, Andor!"
"That leader of the extraterrestrial visitors from yesterday was really powerful!"
"It’s chaotic outside lately, Mr. Da Mu asked you to find him as soon as you got back."
The people here seemed unaware of the battle outside, each one greeting Andor.
The invasion of extraterrestrial visitors was causing unrest, but the people here were blindly confident, believing the gods were omnipotent and could protect them.
Andor, with Lin Ke, walked all the way to what seemed like a conference room.
As they approached, they heard arguing voices.
"... We cannot betray the gods!"
"But the gods have already betrayed us! They only protect their own!"
"But everything we have was given by the gods, we cannot detach from them!"
"But those extraterrestrial visitors are obviously stronger, maybe they could also..."
The voices inside seemed to sense Lin Ke and Andor’s approach and lowered in volume.
Andor glanced at Lin Ke, with some embarrassment in his eyes, then knocked on the door: "Teacher, I’m back."
"Andor? Come in." came an old voice from inside.
So Andor led Lin Ke through the door.
In front of them were several elders sitting on the floor, their Magic Intermediaries hanging down to the ground.
They were led by a slightly plump elder with white hair and beard, with two on each side opposite, totaling six elders.
Lin Ke understood these were Andor’s teacher and the other members of his school.
His teacher, an eighth-level Great Mage, and the other five were also powerful seventh-level mages.
These were the core members of Mountain Forest Fire.
"Andor, who is this person? If he’s your friend, have him get out!"
At this moment, an old woman sitting beside Andor’s teacher spoke with a sharp and unpleasant voice.
"What do you mean, my disciple’s friend, why should he get out?" Before Andor could speak, his teacher glared at the old woman: "Why don’t you get out?"
"A wild mage, your disciple befriended a wild mage." The old woman snorted coldly, confronting Andor’s teacher.
The fiercest argument outside the door had also come from these two voices.
"What about wild mages? Are wild mages not people? Do wild mages have no magic?" Andor’s teacher retorted unceremoniously.
"Teacher, it’s not..." Andor wanted to explain, but the two gave him no chance to speak.
"Humph, if wild mages can be let in, then I’ll bring people from the Ice Spring School, and we can all freely discuss." The sagging flesh on the old woman’s face trembled, and each age spot seemed like a fly crawling.
But she indeed had the aura of a seventh-level mage.
"You’re being unreasonable!"
"You are! I said get out, and you can’t come in!"
"Are you the master of Mountain Forest Fire?!"
"Oh, you want to split up with me now, I should’ve known..."
The two bickered over trivial issues. Lin Ke suddenly realized they seemed to be a couple?!
However, different from what Lin Ke imagined, this couple didn’t seem to get along well, their voices getting louder as they argued.
However, Lin Ke didn’t want to waste time; he still had to return to camp and pretend to be "Lin Ke" later!
At that moment, a fireball shot from the old woman’s side, hitting Lin Ke’s face directly.
"Did I say you could move!" the old woman said harshly.
Lin Ke’s expression darkened, he directly absorbed the fireball using skill, then transformed it into a wave of heat to release.
"Whoosh!!!"
The heat wave overturned everything in the room, including the people.
"Humph." Lin Ke glanced at the old woman, then strode toward the entrance.
"Master Buck, Master Buck!" Andor called, wanting to pursue, but both his teacher and master mistress were still lying on the ground!
"Andor, who was that?!"
Andor’s teacher now realized that person must have been a strong individual.
Before Andor could speak, the old woman shrieked, "Who cares who it is! Kill him, kill him!"
"That was Buck, Buck Lagronas, a tenth-level mage, preparing to establish a sect!" Andor hastily said, fearing his master mistress would go crazy if he delayed any longer.
"Tenth-level!"
"Heavens, a legend stood before us?"
"And so young, too."
The rest of the people took a deep breath.
Andor now helped his teacher up, also glancing at his master mistress who wasn’t usually kind to him.
Her master mistress was now sitting there dumbfounded, no longer shouting to kill Lin Ke.
"Andor, are you sure?" Andor’s teacher, having been helped up, stretched over the Magic Intermediary.
Andor also extended his Magic Intermediary, connecting with the teacher, assuring, "I’m sure!"
It’s true!
Andor’s teacher immediately sensed Andor’s emotions, then quickly ordered, "Quickly! Find Master Buck immediately! Our school is saved!"
...
Lin Ke cast several Swift Step spells on himself, quickly reaching outside the city, and found Little Lucky through their soul connection.
"Big brother, you’re back!" Though still appearing quite appealing, Little Lucky now had the voice of a young man.
In the woods, Little Lucky nuzzled against Lin Ke affectionately, knowing this was Lin Ke’s disguise, even though its form was a Magic Intermediary.
Lin Ke patted Little Lucky, "Let’s go, back to camp."
He reverted to his original appearance and soared into the sky.
Soon after, the broadcast from Naseng began.
After fermentation, though it was assumed fewer people would watch Naseng’s side, it turned out to be more.
Most of them were just curious about Lin Ke.
After all... the nobility’s council didn’t last long, what could be done in such a short time?
Just conquest and plunder.
Yet Lin Ke claimed to have come for friendship.
So naturally, people were curious about what Lin Ke intended to do.
