Then Asebu had Asabu lead Li Er and the others to wander around the small town while he went to the mercenary guild. At the same time, he said to Elena, the female mage in the party who had a very weak presence, "Elena, go buy some food, buy a lot!" With that, he gave all the gold coins to Elena!
Thus, after Asabu led Li Er around for a while, they arrived at the town's exit. By this time, Asebu had already returned, and not only that, Elena had also returned. The group once again embarked on the journey to the Undead Volcano!
However, soon Li Er looked back and said, "Did you offend someone? There's an old man following us!"
Asebu was startled and quickly looked back, but he saw nothing. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I shouldn't have. I just took a escort mission!"
Meile also sensed it, but as someone who had just entered the Divine level, he couldn't sense anything either!
Sparc said in a gruff voice, "Boss, this guy dares to follow us. I'll go take care of him!"
That's right, Sparc was that reckless. He wasn't afraid even when he was at the Divine level!
Li Er raised an eyebrow and said, "That person is poisoned. He has large black spots on his face. If he's not treated in time, he probably only has a month or two to live!"
Upon hearing Li Er's words, Asebu jumped up and took out a box, saying, "I accepted an escort mission at the mercenary guild to escort this box to Border Fortress City. It's the old man with black spots you mentioned, my lord. He's a Divine level? Why would he ask a mere swordmaster like me to deliver it?"
Li Er chuckled. Did he even need to ask? They were clearly being used as cannon fodder, to attract attention or something similar. It certainly wouldn't be anything good!
Hearing Li Er's guess, Asebu's face fell. They were being set up. If not for the powerful figure in their party, they might not even know how they died!
Li Er waved his hand, and the box in Asebu's hand flew to Li Er. Meile leaned closer and took a look. "This is an extremely advanced sealing magic. It requires the corresponding incantation to unlock!"
Li Er rolled his eyes, and the box in his hand opened directly!
Meile immediately shut up. Heh, that was for ordinary people. Their lord could do whatever he pleased, as long as he was happy!
At this moment, a black mist instantly escaped from the box. Li Er glanced at it, then threw the box back to Asebu and said, "It's just a soul-sealing box. Now that he's escaped, your mission is probably ruined!"
Asebu grinned. If it was ruined, it was ruined. With their lord so relaxed and at ease, what more could they say!
Just then, the old man from afar flew over, looking at the box in Asebu's hand with a look of horror. He shouted angrily, "Who told you to open it! Do you know? This box sealed the former leader of the Dark Council, the Lich King Andre! You've caused a huge disaster!"
Asebu's mouth fell open. Andre! The Lich King, oh my god! They had really caused trouble!
It was known that the former leader of the Dark Council was a notorious villain who had become the Lich King. His soul was hidden somewhere, making him immortal and causing much bloodshed!
It could be said that Andre was an enemy of the entire continent!
Yet, they seemed to have let such a public enemy escape.
"Old man, don't spout nonsense. What do you mean we caused trouble? It was clearly you who caused trouble!" Li Er said, rolling his eyes.
Asebu nodded and quickly threw the box back to the old man, saying, "That's right, how would we know about Andre or anything? We're just a small group of adventurers!"
"Exactly, if you, a Divine level expert, didn't escort it, but instead sent a few small adventurers, and you still have the nerve to say we caused trouble!" Li Er added the finishing blow!
The old man pointed at Li Er and Asebu, furious. He almost spat out two mouthfuls of blood. But it was too late to say anything. What confused him even more was how this box had suddenly opened. After all, a forbidden curse had been cast upon it, which was simply outrageous!
"You're also a Divine level expert, why are you fooling around with them? Do you know how important Andre is!" The old man, too lazy to argue with the mere mercenaries, directly turned his anger onto Meile!
Meile pointed at himself, looking utterly bewildered. What the hell, was this guy crazy!
I'm fooling around? Who's fooling around? You, a Divine level expert, knew what was inside, yet you didn't escort it, and instead sent a swordmaster to do it. How dare you say I'm fooling around? Meile was so angry his nose almost crooked!
However, before Meile could say anything, the old man flew away, clearly not wanting to waste any more words with Li Er and the others!
"Damn it!" Meile cursed, this old man was so annoying!
Asebu almost burst out laughing, as Meile was truly innocent!
But soon, Asebu's face became worried. They had truly caused trouble this time. Andre, that was someone who had once slaughtered an entire kingdom. And now they had let such a ferocious individual escape. The ensuing bloodshed and suffering across the continent would be their karma!
At this moment, Li Er suddenly paused and said, "What did you say just now? The former leader of the Dark Council?"
Everyone nodded. Big brother, are you only reacting now!
"Meile, you said earlier that the Human Race token might be in the hands of the leader of the Dark Council? Was it him?" Li Er asked!
Meile grinned. That was just one of the rumors, he said, "Yes, it's rumored to have appeared in his hands. I don't know what happened after that!"
Li Er felt a bit regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have captured him just now, and perhaps he would have gotten information about the Human Race token. Oh well, next time!
Afterward, everyone continued on their way. Asebu and the others took it in stride. Since the person had already escaped, there was nothing they could do. With their limited strength, they weren't qualified to capture Andre. If the sky fell, the taller ones would bear the brunt of it!
"Ouch, that Divine level old man is going to be in trouble!" Li Er suddenly said!
Everyone was puzzled. What did he mean? Soon, they didn't need Li Er to say it, they saw it too, because two black-robed figures were chasing and attacking the old man with black spots. It seemed they were handling him with ease, and the old man with black spots couldn't hold on any longer!
"I knew he wasn't a good person, leading them this way!" Meile cursed!
Asebu and the others also looked grim. A battle between Divine level experts would surely be their end. Fortunately, they had their powerful lord!
"Heh, Joels, did you come this way because there's a junior Divine level fellow over there?" one of the black-robed figures said disdainfully!
They were toying with this Joels. Now that their leader had been rescued, the rest was not that important!
