Chapter 487 Conflict
As dusk fell, the low-level mages who had entered the volcanic area all wore smiles as they prepared to leave.

A large number of mages walked or used various flying machines to head out of the volcano.

But just then, a faint barrier enveloped the entire volcanic area, preventing them from leaving.

The Dragon Rider Legion's guards were shouting through megaphones.

"Dragon Island Volcano is threatening the city. The protective magic array has been activated. Please leave through the southern entrance. You cannot leave from other places. Thank you for your cooperation."

A large number of sorcerers were led to the southern entrance, and everyone was cursing and swearing.

"What's going on? We just came in to pick up some materials, we didn't do anything."

"What kind of magic array are you trying to activate? Do you intend to kill us all in one fell swoop?"

"Is Dragon Island so stingy that it won't let us collect any materials?"

"..."

Meanwhile, Celia, accompanied by Anko, found the two catgirls, Miaobai and Meow, who were waiting to the south.

The two were very excited to see Celia arrive.

"My benefactor, my benefactor, have you found the lava fire?"

Celia nodded, took out a lump of something that looked like magma and was releasing small flames from her ring, and put it into a special alchemical bottle.

Upon seeing this, the two catgirls immediately joined hands and began to dance in front of Celia.

"Long live our benefactor! ~( ̄▽ ̄~)(~ ̄▽ ̄)~"

Anke looked at the two curiously and asked, "Who are these two?"

Celia explained, "The one with the blue tail is Meow Blue, and the one with the white tail is Meow White. They come from the cat-people tribe in the Orc Empire. They were tricked by slave traders a few days ago, and I happened to be passing by and rescued them."

Anke's eyes sparkled. "The catgirls are so cute, especially Meow White."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but pat Miaobai's head.

Miao Bai jumped up like a mane standing on end and ran far away.

Miao Lan immediately blocked Miao Bai's path, puffing out her cheeks and saying angrily, "Only I can touch Miao Bai! Nobody else is allowed to touch him!"

Finally, he added, "It's not impossible for my benefactor to touch it if he wants to."

Celia said, "I'll pass. Meow White is male, I won't touch him casually. Touching Meow Blue is more appropriate."

"What?" Anke exclaimed in shock, "Miaobai is a male catgirl? But he looks more like a female catgirl than Miaolan."

Miao Lan tilted her head: "Isn't it normal for males to be prettier than females? Only you human males are so ugly."

Anke: "..."

Fortunately, Anke is not male.

Miao Lan hugged Miao Bai, watching An Ke warily, her tail wagging: "Miao Bai belongs to Miao Lan, you're not allowed to take him away!"

Celia was both amused and exasperated: "You two, that's enough! She's my friend, her name is Anke, and she's as gentle, kind, and beautiful as I am. Okay, Miaolan, didn't you say you had a way to leave? What is your plan?"

These two catgirls are scattering cat food everywhere, and even Celia can't stand it anymore.

Miao Bai said, "That person said that we can only leave when everyone starts fighting."

"Can't we leave before the fight starts?" Celia asked.

Both catgirls nodded at the same time.

Celia and Anko exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.

"I sense something is wrong."

"Let's wait and see what it is."

The two nodded and decided to wait and see what was going on.

Another question remains: why did Miao Bai and Miao Lan find a way out, while none of the seasoned mercenaries did?

This matter is probably not that simple.

The fact that the other party is so certain that the Warlock and the Dragon Knight will clash might be related to the Tower of the Fallen.

Or you received some message.

The other side hasn't shown up yet; everything will only be revealed when the conflict occurs. "Conflict..."

Celia and Anko exchanged glances for a moment, then began to await the arrival of conflict.

Soon, not far ahead, beneath the wall, at a small gate, the sorcerer and the dragon rider guarding the gate began arguing.

"Why should you charge two gold coins for volcanic rock ten years ago? Why don't you just rob us?"

"Don't you know there's inflation?" the dragon rider guard replied coldly.

"Volcanic rocks outside only cost a few dozen silver coins each, but your Dragon Island volcanic rocks are so special, why do you sell them for several times that amount?"

"Of course, there's only one set of volcanic rock from Dragon Island. If you can't afford it, just hand it over." The Dragon Knight guard remained indifferent.

More and more people are showing anger when they hear about the price increase.

The sentiment is exciting.

Celia and Anko exchanged a glance and decided to go and take a look.

Celia reached out and cast a purification spell on the two of them. Anko took out the antidote and let them absorb it through breathing.

Then, Celia handed over a scroll and instructed, "Wait here and don't move. If you encounter any bad guys, activate this scroll immediately and we'll come right away."

The main gate is less than 100 meters away. Even if they are just watching, Celia can leave a mental imprint on the two of them with her magic. The scroll is just a guarantee.

"Thank you, benefactor. Miao Lan will stay here."

"I will keep an eye on Miaolan."

"Hmph, only Meow White needs to see this, Meow Blue doesn't!"

"..."

When the catgirl started bickering, Celia and Anko decisively chose to leave and went to the front door.

At this point, the situation became tense.

The sorcerers were furious, and many of them summoned their puppets, bringing the situation to the brink of conflict.

"Were these dragon rider guards also affected by the potion from the Tower of the Fallen?" Celia whispered.

Anke nodded slightly: "It has all been affected."

Celia narrowed her eyes and quietly scanned the area with her mental energy.

Suddenly, she looked towards the depths of the gate, sat in a chair, and looked at the people arguing outside.

The opponent, a fourth-ranked individual, sat arrogantly, watching the excited and angry mages without making a move.

But that's not the point. The point is that Celia sensed a faint trace of contamination emanating from him.

Celia looked at the other person, and the other person looked back at her.

"Could they be a spy from the heretics?" Celia wondered, choosing to avoid being discovered.

Just then, a spell appeared out of nowhere and struck the dragon rider guards who were blocking the group of sorcerers.

boom!
The dragon rider guard was immediately sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The expressions on the faces of all the dragon rider guards immediately changed.

The fourth-tier mage immediately stood up, "How dare they attack dragon riders on Dragon Island! They're courting death! Kill them!"

"kill!"

A large number of dragon rider guards immediately appeared. These dragon riders were all elites, just like the Holy Court's Knights of Law. The third rank was the requirement for recruitment.

The Blue Dragon Magic Academy produces several hundred third-tier mages (graduates) every year, and many of them join the Dragon Knight Legion. Therefore, the Dragon Knight Legion has quite a few third-tier mages.

The dragon riders prepared to attack, but the scattered mages on this side were not to be outdone, and a large number of magical lights appeared, bombarding the enemy.

Just then, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared between the dragon riders and the various mages. The ice wall was made of ice shield magic and contained many spells. It was extremely sturdy, and no matter how many spells were cast on it, it did not budge.

Everyone was shocked.

"This is……"
