Strange Worlds-Chapter 222: Frustration

When Aya thought about this, her eyes turned colder. If it was not because of the fact that things were not appropriate, Aya would make a move and directly kill that person.

But...

Aya’s eyes moved to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s office.

For some reason, she felt a kind of dread and danger from this place. And it was definitely not the Fourth Head of the Wansu City but something that he had or something inside this office.

In the past, she had never noticed it, but now, Aya could sense it.

Magic tools?

Or perhaps something powerful?

Swish!

Aya retracted her crystal eyes and fell into deep thought. Wansu City was built by a few powerful magic warriors in the past. They were at least rank 7 and should have left some means for Wansu City to defend itself from others.

If Aya had attacked the Fourth Head of the Wansu City directly, it was estimated that he might have used this means and killed her instead.

Thankfully, she was careful enough.

And Aya didn’t want to make a move without fully understanding the current situation in Wansu City.

’No wonder the other patriarchs never made a move.’

Aya guessed that these patriarchs should have known that the previous patriarchs had left a backhand in the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s office.

Or it was given to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City directly.

She didn’t know.

’Well, as long as he didn’t attack me or anyone around me, I’ll not do anything.’

With that in mind, Aya stopped wondering about this matter. As much as she wanted to interfere, she also didn’t understand much about this city. Moreover, those ghosts were more important for Aya than the internal conflict of Wansu City.

After all, what Aya knew was only what was written in the history books.

How true that history, Aya didn’t know.

Putting her attention away, Aya lied down on her bed once more and went to sleep.

She was still tired.

...

Black Family Residence, Silas’s side

After being kicked out by the Black Family Patriarch, Silas went back to his home. If he had to be honest, he still felt a bit heavy when he thought about his students.

’Damn it.’

Silas cursed in a low voice as he sat in his living room.

He thought that after reaching rank 7, he would be able to do everything right and make sure that he was safe and sound. But the encounter in Central Magic City led him to understand that the magic world was not so simple.

The chain of interests bound many people and offending one of them meant offending others.

Every head of the cities in this area had a connection to Central Magic City, which would ensure some trades from them and so on.

So Silas understood that he couldn’t do anything rash.

But the Fourth Head of the Wansu City came to him and asked him whether he wanted to take his disciples in a higher ranked mission. Considering that his students had been clamoring to go out, Silas thought that it would be fine.

Who would have thought that this mission was a trap?

And Silas also realized that even as a rank 7 magic warrior, he couldn’t squander his mana rashly. He still had to meditate for a long time and figure out a way to increase his mana as fast as possible to become a real strong magic warrior at rank 7.

The problem of mana seemed to be never ending.

This made Silas feel apprehensive and a bit tired.

It was no wonder that the rank 7 magic warrior hunted a lot of magic beasts in the deep forest and ate them all. Even though Silas’s appetite had increased due to the increase of his physical strength, it was still far from comparable to that magic warrior.

And the cheapest way for them to increase their mana was indeed through hunting the materials themselves.

For this reason, Silas thought about the deep forest.

Should he go there again?

It has been a while and Silas didn’t know whether that rank 7 magic warrior was still there or not. Even if she was there, she might have gone deeper into the forest and couldn’t be found easily anymore.

Moreover, Silas couldn’t really leave Wansu City easily this time after exchanging places with his puppet.

He had to wait a few more days.

’Well, let’s spend this time with my disciples first.’

Silas sighed and looked outside.

He thought about Nathan and Nisa for a moment but refrained from looking for them. Because Silas was sure that Nathan was not in a situation where he could be visited by others. He might be being reprimanded by his older brother and warned to be careful.

Because Nathan’s ability was really strong and there were not many people who could compare with him.

His older brother should also have a lot of expectations for his younger brother.

’I need more strength...’ Silas muttered in a low voice and made his way back to his room. He glanced at his other room where the surveillance still existed and his eyes glinted with coldness but he retracted it again. There was no point in clashing with them right now.

For now, he just wanted to rest.

...

Green Family Residence, the Green Family Patriarch’s House

Nathan was sitting there obediently.

His older brother had only returned not long ago and Nathan looked at the Green Family Patriarch in front of him.

"Brother."

"It’s good that you’re fine," the Green Family Patriarch said and sighed.

Nathan frowned. "Does the Fourth Head make things difficult?"

If the Fourth Head of the Wansu City made things difficult for his brother, then he didn’t mind making a fuss and causing trouble directly. Anyway, he was not afraid of anyone and even dared to fight the Fourth Head of the Wansu City if it was necessary.

"Don’t talk nonsense." the Green Family Patriarch could guess what his younger brother was thinking just from Nathan’s look. He shook his head and said, "From now on, you can’t take a mission that’s too far away from Wansu City."
