Capítulo 1098: Chapter 891: The Adventurer Party Is Officially Formed
Edna watched those mages gather together and whisper, also feeling the strange glances from their followers, she lifted her face with an extremely gentle smile… She always thought Sister Cunlü looked beautiful when she smiled.
Though she didn’t know why those guys suddenly shivered, it seemed like whenever Sister Cunlü smiled, Hard Wind and the others reacted similarly.
Sanda King Sister said it was because Sister Cunlü was too beautiful, making others overthink.
Edna didn’t quite understand, but she always liked learning.
Of course, she wasn’t that naive to think this was a friendly gesture; looking good is enough, isn’t it?
Sanda King Sister said that if you’re not planning to pick a boyfriend from the trash heap, a girl should appear a bit stronger… The tone may be gentle, but the content shouldn’t be.
Edna was slightly confused, but since Sanda King Sister said it would reduce the number of scoundrels bothering her, she’d go along with it!
Feeling those daring emotions restrained beneath the surface, Edna understood the opponent’s struggles were essentially over, allowing her to consider how to treat these future partners.
Under Leon’s concerned gaze, Edna sighed, unable to help wondering: it’s so troublesome for a supporting role like her to do anything, what kind of colorful life is the real protagonist—Lady Mistral—living right now?
But she’s still young, as Sanda King Sister put it, perfect to practice methods on this group of immature brats, preparing for bigger troubles in the future… Although Edna didn’t dislike Mistral, the Goddess of Magic’s followers were surely not good things!
Like that rascal Kelben, who knows if he would secretly hassle her.
Edna puffed up her small chest, full of fighting spirit, cheering herself on: “Brave and smart Edna will surely become the ultimate victor!”
Leonard looked at his human squad leader with confusion, not understanding why she suddenly acted so excited, like she’s energized, but still put away the map and clapped along to encourage her.
Then the Half-Elf hesitantly said, “Though I really want to praise your lofty ideals, if the opponent is Deities, I think… maybe you should relent a little?
Not many people have a good ending going against the Son of Destiny… Even if shining for a moment, they might end up with nothing but bones.
I’m not afraid of dying, but it’s not worth it, right?”
Edna slowly withdrew her clenched hands, quietly turning to gaze at the honest-talking Half-Elf: “Honesty is not a virtue at all times, dear Leo.
When someone knowingly acts, consider staying silent, for they might just want to boast.”
Leonard looked around hesitantly before finally speaking, eyes shifting: “But my past experiences tell me, rather than discerning what the other is thinking, it’s more straightforward to speak the truth.
At least many things I shouldn’t know, they would just bypass me.”
Edna gently raised an eyebrow, indeed, to be an Extraordinary Mage there’s no fool, even simple Leonard had his way of self-protection.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the forces behind him, he could easily be swept into chaos and lose his life… If his actions were his own doing, even if the Sun Elves of Star Mountain Range eventually choose to clash with those Yerland Wood Elves, they couldn’t formally be enemies.
Like Elvia always said, the Kind Alignment must always reason in certain places, even the Chaotic Faction can’t kill without cause.
But Leonard not only successfully completed the daunting mage trial, he also earned the opportunity for a graduation test.
You can’t have many Extraordinary Mages in an elf’s Magic Tower; if there’s a chance to use Leonard till he’s useless, Edna believes they wouldn’t throw him out casually.
Wanting to connect with her adventure team, though leveraging Lynn’s connections is the easiest, it’s not impossible to use more complex methods… Her foolish father sent these four cunning Junior Mages, bringing along a diverse group of followers, surely there are flaws to exploit.
But Edna was already prepared mentally… Seeing this arrogant bunch, a strong desire surged inside her wanting to head out.
Edna of course understood this was the World Will telling her, you should embark upon your destined Path of Destiny.
But having studied history and politics with Kessexili and her grandmother for so long, Edna doesn’t intend to accept fate just like that, though she hadn’t planned on contending for control with Mistral either.
Her identity ensures that misstepping even once might make her a sacrifice to the Tablets of Fate… Of course, she already knew who that teacher in her dreams really was.
Though the Black Eye’s portrait only appeared in the Windsong Tower and has been torn apart now, many Archmage memoirs have detailed descriptions of its appearance.
Moreover, after Edna learned Elf Spells with Kessexili, she fully realized how strong her dream teacher really was… Many spells Kessexili roughly introduced, she learned the detailed versions at night.
She’s no fool, this widely seen Female Mage who generously teaches her, who else could it be?
Most importantly, Edna’s fan-like black eyelashes gently fluttered; their identical black eyes directly hinted at a blood relationship between them.
Edna’s eyes gleamed as she looked at those determined mages from Quel Senta walking to her front and back… Long ago she decided that even if she inevitably follows the destiny planned by the Tablets of Fate, every step along the way must be made by her own decision.
When Devis and the other three formally agreed to join Edna’s adventure team, the ever-smart Female Mage took out a finely crafted manual, ready to use it as their team adventure log.
When Devis took the manual, he found the first page already recorded the captain: Edna Maxwell, 15th level Mage, Magical Pets White Dragon, excels in Arcane Spells.
The second page turned into the team members: Leonard, 22th level Nature Mage, Magical Pets Fairy Dragon, excels in Natural Growth and Healing Spells.
Devis’s eyes nearly popped out; he completely eradicated the vague thoughts he held in his heart… These are two dragons!
No matter if the White Dragon and Fairy Dragon are relatively weak among Giant Dragons, they’re certainly not to be looked down upon by ordinary mages who haven’t even touched the edge of the Transcendent.
He at least knew the White Dragon beside Edna was the famous Elvia Tulais; news of their contract recently spread across the entire continent.
The teacher Leopold who had long roamed outside also dared to secretly return to Simba City upon hearing his daughter became the White Dragon Queen Contractor… He was always worried the Chosen by Mist, Kelben, would target Edna upon realizing he returned to Ferun Great Land.
But with the protection of the White Dragon Queen, Edna felt much safer… At least if there were issues, that White Dragon could directly help Edna escape.
Yet Leopold did not dare step into the Silvermoon Alliance’s territory… As a mage openly expelled by the Silvermoon Alliance, daring to enter The North would likely get him killed by potential enemies eyeing him.
Leopold’s constant fear of being targeted made him flee so quickly back then… This man, being primarily a Scroll Mage, actually also studied Prophecy School.
Though Devis didn’t know how accurate his teacher’s ‘The North is his own grave’ prophecy was, he did feel that the prophecy claiming he’d gain substantial assets on this journey was either misleading or a misjudgment.
Then he took out his Crystal Pen, quietly writing on the third page: Devis Pease, 14th level Scroll Mage, Arcanist, excels in scroll crafting and Magic Book writing.
He turned to hand the manual to Luca Yanes behind him, Devis seriously advised him: “You can choose not to write what you don’t want others to know, but don’t write recklessly.”
Perhaps due to having a teacher who studied Prophecy School, Devis always had a sort of instinct to avoid harm, so Luca trusted his words.
He straightforwardly recorded: Luca Yanes, 14th level Alchemist, excels in Potion Making, Transmutation School.
Luca, who excelled in Alchemy, was the oddest-tempered among the four; if even he behaved sensibly, the other two certainly wouldn’t look for trouble.
Soon the manual gained two more pages:
Xilio Nasr, 15th level Defensive School Mage, excels in Magic Guard, Engraving, and Magic Glyph.
Duckman Kith, 14th level Formative School Mage, excels in Electric Magic, Magic Array.
When the manual was returned to Edna, the beautiful Female Mage smiled and waved toward the sky: “Elvia, come meet the new friends.”
Soon enough, two gigantic White Dragons descended from the sky, the smaller female White Dragon greeted coldly: “I am the White Dragon Queen Elvia Tulais, this is Arausato, he will not be joining us.”
