Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 221 A Dangerous Invitation

Half an hour later.

Completely bewildered, Mu Nujiao returned from Mingzhu Academy.

In the VIP room, she met O'Hack.

"You are Mu Nujiao?" O'Hak looked Mu Nujiao up and down.

"Yes, that's me. May I ask what brings you here?" Mu Nujiao asked politely.

“Oh, I am the Lord of the Judgment Hall of the Parthenon Temple. I am here on behalf of the Parthenon Temple to recruit Jiang Yuan into the temple and make him a glorious and sacred Temple Knight,” Ohak said, raising his chin slightly.

"Sir, is the Jiang Yuan you are looking for our Huaxia National Government Captain?" the Mu family head asked.

"Who else could it be but him?" O'Hak said unhappily. "Besides him, who else in China is qualified to enter the temple and become a knight? This is an immense honor bestowed upon him. Tell me, where is he?"

"We don't know where he is either." The head of the Mu family was somewhat puzzled. How could the Mu family possibly know where Jiang Yuan was?

You might as well ask your advisor at the National University.

"Don't know? Don't you know either?" O'Hak turned to look at Mu Nujiao.

"I don't know." Mu Nujiao shook her head.

“I hope you’re not lying to me,” O’Hack said, frowning.

“How could we possibly deceive you?” After saying this, the head of the Mu family turned to Mu Nujiao and asked, “Jiaojiao, can you contact Jiang Yuan?”

"Let me try."

Mu Nujiao took out her communicator, found Jiang Yuan's number on it, and dialed it. She received a series of beeping sounds in response.

She shook her head again: "No, his communicator is off."

"Your Excellency, you can go and find the instructors at the Huaxia National Academy; they might know where Jiang Yuan is," said the head of the Mu family.

"Do you know where Jiangyuan is?"

At that moment, a cloaked man behind O'Hak made a strange, slightly hoarse voice.

This was the first time O'Hack had heard them speak since they set off.

"Your Excellency, we truly do not know. Please seek out other individuals." The head of the Mu family grew increasingly suspicious and immediately issued an order to leave.

The cloaked man didn't speak. He stretched out his right hand from under his clothes, his figure flashed, and he suddenly grabbed at Mu Nujiao. He was so fast that neither the Mu family head nor Mu Nujiao had time to react.

Just as they were about to capture Mu Nujiao, Ohak blocked the cloaked man's path.

“What are you trying to do?” O'Hack demanded.

“You’re in the way while I’m carrying out the Queen Mother’s mission.” The cloaked man paused, then bypassed Ohak and continued to grab at Mu Nujiao.

O'Hak didn't know what mission the cloaked man had, but his mission was to find Jiang Yuan and bring him back to train him into a new generation of temple knights, as the temple matriarch had instructed.

The Parthenon has not had a high level of influence in China, and we must always be aware of the possibility of it triggering international disputes.

So O'Hak once again blocked the cloaked man's path.

“If you continue to block my way, the position of Hall Master of the Judgment Hall should be changed to someone else,” the cloaked man said coldly, showing no concern for Ohak’s status as Hall Master.

O'Hack paused for a moment, then realized something.

He was originally just a judge from the Tribunal who was sent to Europe and was recalled by the Parthenon while on a mission.

He inexplicably became the new Lord of the Judgment Hall, and the Hall Master even gave him a special blessing, for which he swore to be loyal to the Hall Master.

Now it seems
"Do you understand?" The cloaked man patted O'Hak on the shoulder and said, "The mission we received is the real mission. You just need to assist us."

"."

After a moment of silence, O'Hack said, "You also need to know that this is China, and Parthenon doesn't have a high enough reputation here. What you're about to do will seriously damage Parthenon's reputation and cause an international dispute."

“Then that’s none of your business.” The cloaked man shrugged and walked past Ohak.

This time, O'Hak did not stop him, but watched helplessly as the cloaked man's poisonous claws reached towards Mu Nujiao.

"What exactly do you want?!" The head of the Mu family suppressed his anger.

These mages from Parthenon arrived with an air of superiority, and now they're trying to kidnap Jiaojiao right in front of me.

So arrogant!

"Somebody come!"

At his command, the guards in the manor rushed over and surrounded O'Hak and his men.

The cloaked man stopped moving, and his concealed face seemed to smile.

He took out an invitation from his pocket: "Alright, alright, I've come to deliver an invitation to you. Saintess Ye Xinxia is about to become our Parthenon Goddess, and I've come to invite Miss Mu Nujiao to attend the ceremony."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

The head of the Mu family was furious: "Do you think the Mu family is easy to bully? All of you, get out of the Mu family!"

Upon hearing this, the guards unleashed their auras and pressed down on Ohak and the others, but this seemingly astonishing aura had little effect on the super-level mage.

“Alright, in that case, we’ll take our leave.” The cloaked man turned and left, followed closely by the other cloaked mages, with Ohak being the last to arrive.

They arrived outside the manor.

"I thought you would kidnap Mu Nujiao regardless of the consequences, but I didn't expect you to back down," O'Hak mocked.

“I’ve changed my mind. You’re right, this is China.” The cloaked man glanced at the signboard of the Mu Family Manor, then looked at the cultural atmosphere around him, which was completely different from that of Europe.

“Since the mission you have is the real mission, then I won’t stop you from carrying it out. I’m going back home,” Ohak said.

"I didn't tell you to leave," the cloaked man said calmly.

"So what? I am still the Lord of the Judgment Hall, and only the Lady of the Hall can command me. I did not receive orders to assist you in your mission, only orders to have you assist me," O'Hak said firmly.

He wanted to be the Lord of the Judgment Hall, but not a puppet Lord of the Judgment Hall.

The cloaked man looked at O'Hak without saying a word.

In the end, he let Ohak leave and continued to lead the other mages on their mission.

Since we can't take a hard line in China, let's use invitations to gather these people connected to Jiangyuan at the Parthenon.

No one can refuse the world-class ceremony of the goddess's enthronement.

...........................

...........................

Even after O'Hack and the others left, the head of the Shepherd's family still had a furrowed brow.

His gaze fell on the invitation left on the ground.

He then ordered someone to open it.

As the cloaked man had said, Mu Nujiao was indeed invited to attend the ceremony where Ye Xinxia succeeded as goddess.

"Tear it up," the head of the Mu family ordered.

The cloaked man's tone was very strange just now, clearly hostile. If we go there, it will be like being far from the emperor's reach, and Jiaojiao's safety will not be guaranteed.

The guards immediately obeyed and tore the invitation into dozens of pieces.

The head of the Mu family was finally relieved.

That night.

Mu Nujiao sat by the window, gazing up at the countless stars in the sky.

A gentle breeze blew in from the window, and she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I wonder what Jiang Yuan is doing, he turned off the communicator again," Mu Nujiao muttered to herself.
