Rheagar’s eyes widened. He looked at the cup in his hand and said self-deprecatingly,

“Fortunately, you have foresight. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have to change into pyjamas.

“So, that kid went out and provoked a Legendary mage?”

Zeller corrected him.

“Half-Legend, peak of Tier 5, Level 20. Blinken has been a Half-Legend for many years. I guess the reason why he hasn’t been able to break through is related to the Dragon Lich Sect. If he can’t advance to a Dragon Lich, he might never be able to advance to Legend.”

Rheagar said:

“Even so, you’re trying to persuade me to take the initiative to provoke a fifth-tier mage, and it’s the Dragon Lich Sect with a great background?

“If you weren’t a Warlock yourself, I would have suspected that you were seduced by that kid!”

Zeller said calmly,

“We’ve killed quite a number of Tier 5 mages before. Back in Purgatory, we all Imew that the gap between those below the Legendary realm wasn’t that big. If we were to prepare carefully, Tier 5 mages would actually be very weak.” Seeing Zeller’s expression.

Rheagar’s heart skipped a beat, and an expression of resistance appeared on his face.

“shit, it’s happening again. I don’t want to listen to you now!”

He tried to cover his ears.

However, Zeller pulled them away mercilessly.

“No, you have to listen. This is very important.

“In the letter, Matthew mentioned that he had encountered the Dragon Lich Cult and Blinken in the rainforest south of Marsh Water City, and there had been some conflict between the two sides.

“In the letter, he described his follow-up plan in detail, hoping that we could point out the shortcomings of his plan.

“His first step was to negotiate with Blinken.

“See, this is what I admire most about him. Not only did he know how to write to us, but he also knew how to try to negotiate with the enemy first.

“Most boys at his age were idiots. They only knew how to fight and be jealous.

“He knew that violence meant risk, so it should always be the last resort to solve problems.

“I’m willing to help a young man with such a bright future.

“I believe you are the same, Rhaegar.” Rheagar couldn’t help but nod.

However, he immediately felt troubled.

“So, who should we send? Richard? He kept saying that he had already retired, so it was impossible for him to take action over such a small matter.

“Du Lin and Asma had just returned to Rolling Stone Town a few days ago. They didn’t know Matthew and didn’t like necromancers. It was definitely not appropriate to send them.

“Li Weiqi, on the other hand, has been idling around Matthew’s forest since we blew up all the passages to the Underdark, complaining that he was bored.

“I really don’t know how he trained his Qi. There must be something wrong with this monk’s commandments!” Zeller crossed his arms and said confidently,

“Li Weiqi, and you!

“If the negotiations failed, then both sides would most likely end up in a fight. And if we want to kill a Tier 5 mage, Li Weizhi alone is not enough.

“Although Matthew mentioned in his letter that he had a Tier 5 Child of the Jungle and an Arcana Machinist whose combat power was unknown, I didn’t have any confidence in them.

“Therefore, I can only ask you to take action.”

Rheagar immediately jumped up from his chair.

“I’m the lord of Rolling Stone Town. Do you think I’ll go through fire and water for that kid just because he wrote me a letter?”

“It is precisely because you are the lord of Rolling Stone Town that you should consider the future of Rolling Stone Town.”

Zeller said seriously, “The world is changing, Rhaegar. The peace of the past is gone.

“When Dulin and Asma came back, they told you about their encounters overseas. The lock of civilization that Matthew told us about is being broken, and the ambitions of the people are getting bigger and bigger. I suspect that in the next 20 years, many wars will break out on this continent.

“Baiyan City and Jiliu City are showing such signs.

“Even if Ronan could return from the astral plane, his true foundation was still in Gem Bay.

“And Rolling Stone Town needs a guardian, an archmage that we can trust.

“You and I both know Matthew’s potential and now, the opportunity is right in front of you. Believe me, Rhaegar, there is no better investment than helping a future master currently in need.”

Rheagar revealed a struggling expression.

“shit, Zeller, I knew this would happen. I was almost convinced by you! It was always like this! If you can give me another reason, I’ll go!”

Zeller smiled faintly.

“You are the most idle person among all the higher-ups in Rolling Stone Town.

Is this reason enough?”

Rheagar sat on the chair dejectedly.

“Alright, I’ll go!”

“Be careful. Remember to remind Li Weiqi.” Zeller untied two frog dolls from his waist and handed them to Rheagar.

“I know you’re not afraid of necromancers, but nothing is absolute.”

Rheagar took the doll and laughed at himself. “I knew I couldn’t hide it from you.”

“I’ve been watching you, Rhaegar.” Zeller said gently, “I know that you spent a lot of effort to cultivate that ability for revenge. It is the nemesis of necromancers. This is also one of the reasons why you allow Matthew to hang around you, isn’t it?”

Rheagar hung one of the dolls on his waist and shook the other one. “I’ll give it to Li Weiqi, but he might not need it.

“Right, how should we get there? This place is too far away from the rainforest.

The Eastern Giant Eagle can’t carry the two of us at once..”
