As for Riya… she didn't have much contact with Murin and had only heard about his story, so she didn't have much opinion about him. But if they said that the relationship between the two were good…
That was impossible.
Who made Murin came to pay a visit when Riya advanced to rank 7 and had to be warned off before he escaped.
So it would be kind enough if Riya didn't attack Murin either.
Peter was the same as Samuel.
In fact, it was already a miracle for Murin to be able to survive when so many returnee disliked him. They seemed to have a tacit understanding not to attack other returnees and let Murin roam free.
Even when facing the previous magic beasts' tide, they only scolded him and then ignored the other party.
Now that they were facing against the rank 7 magic beasts, Murin suddenly broke out with the Magic Association.
What is he thinking?
Samuel frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the magic Association plan to distance themselves from Murin now?"
"I don't know." Mr. Jones sighed.
To be honest, Mr. Jones didn't know what the Magic Association was thinking right now for them to suddenly call him and ask for Samuel's help. They also promised a lot of things in exchange for Samuel's agreement.
And for this matter, Mr. Jones felt that it was not that bad.
But no matter what, the one who had to make the decision is Samuel. Because he was the one who had to fight on the frontline and fight against countless rank 7 magic beasts out there.
How could Mr. Jones be the one to make the decision for his son?
He wanted his son to live well, so he would relay this message and let Samuel be the one to decide.
"Putting aside the benefits that they promised… where's the location of the crack?" Samuel asked another important question.
"…Beside the Capital City around XXXX area."
Samuel turned over the map in his mind and frowned. It was indeed not far from the Capital City, but it was in the opposite direction of City A Base. Even if they rushed over there, it would take a long time.
Moreover, there were a lot of magic beasts on the way and Samuel couldn't guarantee that he would still be in his peak when he reached the location.
"City J Base should be closer, right?" Samuel remembered something.
"It's not that easy to ask for Ruth's help and Dina is the same," Mr. Jones replied.
To be precise, the higher ups didn't trust Dina at all because she's a demonic magician. Riya and the others have already taught them various methods to protect magician and magic warriors from the demonic magician, but they were still worried that they would be killed by these demonic magician for the sake of their mana.
If something happened to them, wouldn't they want to cry?
Because of this, they didn't dare to make a move.
Samuel rubbed his forehead with headache and sighed.
"How about Riya?"
"She's heading to the border between Continent Z and Continent W to deal with the crack there as a deal," Mr. Jones replied.
A deal…
Samuel guessed that it should be because of Ruth that the higher ups were willing to let Riya left.
But…
"Do they not want Riya to close down the crack in City J Base first?"
"This…" Mr. Jones didn't know anything about this matter. After all, his consideration was only about his son leaving to face the rank 7 magic beasts from the other cracks and didn't pay that much attention to the situation in City J Base.
Only when Samuel mentioned it that Mr. Jones remembered about this matter.
"Perhaps they have other methods?"
Other methods?
What other methods would be more effective than Riya setting up a formation around the crack?
Samuel was speechless and then sighed. "Send a helicopter to bring me away. I don't want to run in the middle of the night and face who knows how many magic beasts on the way."
"Got it."
Not long ago, Riya was also sent over with helicopter, so this was still an easy matter to arrange for Mr. Jones. He called people and let them send the helicopter to pick Samuel up to send him to the crack.
On the other hand, Samuel was sitting on the ground while eating the rank 7 magic beasts' meat that he had roasted.
Since there was still some time before the helicopter arrived, he should use this time to replenish his energy as much as possible. After that, he could take a nap to recover his mental strength.
After all, he had fought for such a long time and it would be a lie if he said that he was not tired mentally.
'Riya should have the same thought and willing to help because of that.' Samuel smiled faintly when he thought about this.
The two of them have similar worldview, which made them get along easily. Because of that, Samuel was happy and didn't worry too much about them having conflict with each other.
From the way they have been getting along so far, it was unlikely for them to fight against the other party unless it was something serious.
But it would not be that easy to deal with these rank 7 magic beasts.
'If everything can only be solved by Riya, then it'll be too outrageous.' Samuel was thinking about this matter.
The voice told them that this is a trial for the entire Green Planet.
In that case, how could it be possible for every problem to have to be solved by one person alone?
That's unrealistic.
And it was also putting so much burden on Riya's shoulder. Burden that should not belong to her in the first place.
They were all ordinary people in the beginning, each living their own lives. If it was not because they were selected to experience a completely different world… they would have never been here.
