Mages, Adventurers, and Women

The trial failed, likely due to internal conflict within the Adventurers' Guild.

The Moon Town quest that Li Wei was doing was a Black Dragon-level quest reserved by the Adventurers' Guild.

With him and Julia's team handed over, who would dare to work for the Adventurers' Guild?

But wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

Baiya and Freys have an ambiguous relationship.

When he first entered the Golden City, Levi asked Langsis about the Adventurers' Guild headquarters.

I learned that Francis was working under another vice president named Cyril, who was under the leadership of President Madeline.

Cyril and Baiya are both vice presidents under Madeline, jointly managing all matters concerning the adventurer teams on Golden Island. Judging from Baiya's openly biased behavior towards Freys of the Silver Sword, there are probably many frictions and conflicts between the two.

Li Wei gradually sorted out his thoughts.

After arriving in the Golden City, Langsis vanished without a trace. The quest items for Moon Town, which Langsis had handed over on his behalf, remained unresolved.

Given his personality and his initial investment in Yulia's team, he will definitely do everything in his power to protect Yulia's team.

The Heart of the Warrior and the Adventurers' Guild headquarters are on the same street. If Baiya makes a move, Cyril, who is behind Langsis, will surely know.

His absence suggests he may have other motives.

Even the loud-voiced bard at the bottom of the tavern knew that the revival of Casano Bone City was related to Yulia's team. At a higher level, Yulia's team was probably already labeled as the one who awakened Casano Bone City.

This is a "malignant tumor" that the court absolutely cannot tolerate.

Sylvie once said that some princesses and princes were also supervised by the court.

Therefore, Sylvie is not the reason why the Inquisition could leave Yulia's squad unattended.

A review of the entire process of the restoration of Casano's Bone City.

Yulia's party only completed the Moon Town mission that Rancis specifically chose, and there is no direct evidence that they were involved in the restoration of Casano Bone City. This is where the Adventurers' Guild and the Inquisition can negotiate.

Li Wei guessed that the pressure from the Inquisition had been too great recently, and Cyril wanted to use the Silver Sword to amplify the value of Yulia's team to tell the wavering higher-ups that his choice was correct and that they should join forces with him to resist the pressure from the Inquisition.

This also shows that the Adventurers' Guild has not disappointed Yulia's party and the other adventurer parties who are watching the events surrounding the restoration of Casano's Bone City.

Finally, it can also strike at its competitor, Baiya.

Li Wei meticulously analyzed the situation and clarified his thoughts.

He let go of his foot.

While Baiya was still basking in the glory that her threat had worked, she said:

“Fres’s Silver Sword wants to kill me, and I want to kill him too. According to the Adventurers’ Guild’s Rule 728, I can challenge the Silver Sword to a life-or-death battle.”

"This is the Golden City, not the wilderness. We're going to the arena for a life-or-death battle, right?"

Baiya was taken aback, as was Freys, who had just gotten up.

Because Li Wei was speaking their lyrics.

Freys summoned Baiya to provoke Levi, hoping to force Levi to go to the arena for a life-or-death duel.

In a one-on-one situation, Freys was unprepared and thought he had been tricked by Levi.

In the arena, Freys is extremely confident; he has already bribed his way in, and this is by no means a fair fight.

Originally, it was thought that Li Wei would refuse, but Bai Ya appeared and used her status and strength to force Li Wei to accept.

but……

What's the situation now?

How did Li Wei describe their lyrics?

Bai Ya's gaze turned cold, her face twitched, and she suppressed her joy. The process had its ups and downs, but the result remained the same.

Suppressing her excitement, she asked, "Fres, Levi, representing Julia's team, challenges your Silver Sword to a life-or-death duel. Do you accept?"

Freys's eyes were filled with malice. He hated Levi to the core. This guy stole the top ten spots from the Silver Sword, and he's so handsome too. What right does he have?!

He said sternly:

"accept!"

Baiya possesses a brief strength analysis of Li Wei and Yulia's team—they killed four Tier 1 Black Dragon-level magical beasts and monsters in Moon Town.

That was the source of her confidence in helping the Silver Sword target Yulia's squad.

She never imagined that Li Wei's strength would leap forward again in just two short days in the Golden City!

—The mind enters the "analysis/enlightenment" stage.

Li Wei realized something while he was in Rolling Stone.

Those who blindly hide their shortcomings and endure in silence will only be treated like trash, trampled, ravaged, and humiliated.

Upon arriving in Golden City, he considered whether he should integrate into its "restrained" atmosphere and temporarily conceal his brilliance.

Looking at it now...

What a load of rubbish!

From being mocked by the students at the magic academy to Freys coming to his door.

Li Wei understood that only by hurting them would they learn to restrain themselves.

Freys believed that Baiya's identity would overwhelm Levi.

He believed that all monks were like him, abandoning their fearless spirit of seeking knowledge and exploration, and submitting to power.

Levi would never choose Freys's choice.

His fearlessness was unwavering!

Spirits soared, and a deep shout rose in my heart:

"Let's fight!"

……

Adventurers' Guild Area Arena.

Rolling Stone District, which covers an area comparable to Rolling Stone Town.

The spacious, oval-shaped stadium is large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators.

The bright elemental lights illuminated the arena as if it were daytime.

Inside the arena, all five members of the Silver Sword were present.

Freys was hidden behind his four "Shield Warrior" teammates, completely protected.

A hundred meters away from him, Li Wei stood alone.

Bones and Duron were deliberately stopped outside by arena staff for equipment inspection due to their racial identities.

The incident happened suddenly. By the time Sylvie and Yulia received news that the Silver Sword and Yulia's squad were fighting in the arena, the battle had already begun, and the two were unable to enter.

Baiya won't give Liwei time to find teammates.

Kill Li Weixing.

She dared not kill Sylvie.

Five against one.

Freys has four shield warrior teammates protecting him.

Li Wei was a solitary and physically weak monk.

Freys couldn't figure out how to lose.

whispered:

"Later, I will use President Baiya's spell scroll first. You all protect me, suppress his living space, and slowly torture him to death!"

I'm going to tear his face to shreds!

The four shield warrior teammates said casually:

"Don't worry, Li Wei is a mage. Without the protection of two shield warrior teammates, killing him is easier than killing a goblin."

"It's just..."

Freys said cautiously, "Be careful, Levi is a bit strange, he doesn't need to chant incantations to cast spells."

One of the shield warrior teammates said dismissively, "Captain, we're over a hundred meters away from him. No matter how powerful he is, he can't break through our four-person defense. Besides, didn't President Baiya specifically give you a spell scroll to protect against Li Wei?"

Freys thought that made sense. Li Wei was a Tier 1 mage, not a Tier 2 or Tier 3 mage, so there should be a limit to how unorthodox his methods should be.

……

"Hello everyone, this is Xiaoshengmen. Tonight's match is a life-or-death battle between Silver Sword, ranked 12th in the Golden Island Goblin Group, and Yulia's team, ranked 51st. Everyone's here!"

A cheerful voice rang out from the tranquil arena.

A middle-aged man dressed as a bard stood in the shadows at the side of the field, acting as the host.

Then, most of the elemental lamps went out, and a few bright elemental lamps shone on Li Wei, the Silver Sword, and the other three.

It has a sense of a battle of destiny.

"Standing on the east side are the Silver Sword Freys and his four teammates!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar erupted from the stands behind Silver Sword.

Despite the hasty commencement of the life-or-death battle, numerous women of various races received the news and rushed to the scene to support Freys.

"Fres! Fres!"

"Ahhh—Fres is even more handsome than the elves!"

"Fres kill him!"

The shouting continued for several minutes.

Freys was thoroughly enjoying himself; he slightly raised his chin and looked at Levi with a mocking expression.

Even though the surroundings were dark, as a mage, he could see that there were only a few scattered people on the viewing platform behind Li Wei.

They are far less numerous than the thousands of supporters behind him.

"Huh? Is only Captain Levi from Yulia's squad going into battle?"

As soon as he finished speaking in his soft voice, several elemental lights shone on the viewing platform behind Li Wei.

The man with the soft voice didn't think much of it at first, but when he recognized the figure on the stands, he was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise:

"Look!"

"Princess Orisa from the Eternal Heart Airship Guild has come to watch the battle. Is she supporting Levi?"

"Look, next to Miss Orisa is Princess Sylvie—just so you know, Princess Sylvie is a member of Yulia's team."

"Huh? Who are the two girls sitting next to Princess Sylvie? They are just as beautiful as Princess Sylvie!"

"Wow! Standing a short distance away from Princess Sylvie is Princess Daphne! She's the Radiant Captain, ranked number one in the Goblin Group. Is she here to gather information on her competitors in the annual Adventurers' Guild event?"

"There seem to be a few figures in the distance, what are they?"

"Oh? What's the court painter, Lord Langdu, doing here? Is this little duel even worth Lord Langdu's involvement?"

“The Adventurers’ Guild Vice President Cyril and the Rolling Stone Town Adventurers’ Guild President Langdu are sitting next to Lord Langdu.”

"It seems that although Levi has fewer supporters, they are no weaker than Freys's supporters..."

The loudspeaker's startling sound made Freys's face grow even more sinister.

The elemental lights illuminated the scene perfectly, revealing that every woman sitting in the stands behind Levi—Orisa, Sylvie, Julia, Samantha, Daphne—possessed a stunningly beautiful face.

Look behind him—a group of ugly monsters.

That old hag Baiya was among them, and she was the loudest one shouting.

Freys grew increasingly resentful of Levi's handsome face with its black hair and black eyes.

If he had that face, why would he have given himself to Baiya in exchange for fame and fortune?

Damn!

Damn it!!
