Chapter 216 - Deacon
Three dayster, the person sent by the Magi Pce to pick Ji Hao and his teammates up, had arrived.
As soon as Yu Mu and Feng Xing, who were standing on a small hill beside the river, saw a few men wearing ck cloaks, riding on the back of a gigantic eagle that was flying over, they began to curse simultaneously.
After a series of dirty words, they growled angrily, “These cowards from the outer pce again! Every time, every single time, the Magi Pce will send these ball-less bastards!”
Ji Hao’s face became dark as well. Yu Mu, Feng Xing, Taisi, and Shaosi had spent a whole day to exin the current situation of the Magi Pce in details to Ji Hao. After having joined the Magi Pce for half a year, Ji Hao had finally gained an overall understanding to the so-called Magi Pce.
The Magi Pce had first been founded back when this world was still being ruled by the first three generations of the King of the humankind. At first, the Magi Pce was only like a library, it collected all ssic books and knowledge that were created by the humankind, and made sure that the wisdom of the humankind wouldst and be passed to the younger generations. Back when the first three generations of Kings of the humankind ruled the human world, the humankind was quite endangered. It could be wiped out by other kinds of creatures anytime. Therefore, the existence of the Magi Pce was a hope that might allow the humankind to rise.
Nowadays, human ns were not as endangered as back then. During all these years, every generation of the King of the humankind had invested quite a lot in the Magi Pce, which gradually turned the Magi Pce into a great, overstaffed organization that upied too many materials and human resources.
ns from the four wastnds and the Mind, which were powerful enough, had all been trying as hard as they could to get themselves involved in the Magi Pce. Therefore, currently in the Magi Pce, good and evil people were mixed up. In other words, the Magi Pce was now in a chaos. Each year, almost every powerful n and big organization would select talented kids out of their ranks and send them to the Magi Pce. By doing so, they could not only use the Magi Pce’ resources to cultivate their children, but they could also build a shortcut for themselves. A shortcut that would allow them to step onto a higher administrative ss of the humankind. Almost every kid, who had shown talents and had great achievements in the Magi Pce, could rise in Pu Ban city within a short time.
This was why small apprentice groups like the Southern Wastnd Society and the Great Dark Ocean Society had been fighting so hard against each other in the Magi Pce. Every year, quite a lot of apprentices would be found dead in the Magi Pce, and all of their deaths were rted to conflicts between the small groups.
Currently, the Magi Pce could roughly be divided into the outer pce and the inner pce. The inner pce was led by elders like Wulong Yao and Kuafu Yan, who had always been concentrating on cultivating young apprentices that they found to be talented or to have some potential. They carefully selected elite young Magi, who could be put in important positions, for the Magi Pce. These master Magi tutors were more concerned about discovering the mysteries of this world and were all obsessed with the subjects that were their main research.
As far as powers were concerned, the elders of the inner pce, like Wulong Yao and Kuafu Yan, were all extremely powerful. Normally, elders of the inner pce were a lot more powerful that the elders of the outer pce. Therefore, the outer pce had been quite suppressed by the powers of the inner pce elders. This was something that had managed to maintain a rtively harmonious atmosphere in the Magi Pce, at least it seemed quite peaceful so far.
As for the outer pce, almost every powerful n and organization had their people who were involved in the outer pce. Every single elder of the outer pce was being supported by one or even more ns and organizations, which had their own purposes.
ording to Yu Mu, those outer pce elders were a bunch of vicious and greedy wild dogs. All they were capable of thinking whole day long was how to open their mouth as wide as possible to bite something off, whatever it may be. As long as they could reach it, they would certainly bite it off, even if it was a pile of shit.
“How could elder Wulong let these guyse?” said Ji Hao with a tight face, while looking at the gigantic eagle that had been flying closer and closer, “And they have wasted whole three days.”
The entirely-ck eagle that had beaks and ws that were shining crystal-like, and the wingspan of over ten zhang, looked quite amazing. It hovered around Ji Hao and his teammates for a short while, then cried out proudly andnded slowly on the ground.
Mr Crow cawed scornfully. This gigantic eagle looked quite powerful, however, it was still nothing but an ordinary bird to Mr Crow. Mr Crow could crush this idiotic bird with only one w.
From the feathers of this gigantic eagle, clouds of ck smoke was continuously being spurted out by huge amounts of spell symbols. Apparently, this ck eagle would never have been able to fly from the Magi Pce to over here without the assistance of those spell symbols.
Three men in ck cloaks were standing on the back of the eagle. A middle-aged man among them threw a proud nce at Ji Hao and his teammates. His eyes were fixed briefly on the faces of Man Man and Shaosi with a very weird expression, then he said with a cold voice, “Were you the ones who have reported to the Magi Pce about those Rong Mountain n idiots who have intended to kill you, our Magi Pce’s apprentices, for a magic crystal mine?”
This sounded quite right thought Ji Hao.
Ji Hao took a step forward, pressed his right palm on his chest and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, then responded, “Yes, that were us. Do you mind if I ask your name, mister?”
The middle-aged man let out a nd smile, then said, “I am Meng Ao, born in the Qiong Qi n of the Western Wastnd, now working for the Magi Pce as a Deacon. This time, the Magi Pce sent me to redress the scales for you regarding this Rong Mountain n case. How dare the Rong Mountain n prison and attempt murder our Magi Pce apprentices, aren’t they afraid of been kicked out of the Mind?!”
Meng Ao then waved his hand generally and said, “Come on, let’s go find the Rong Mountain n people immediately. Before I came here, the elders told me that everyone, who bullied our Magi Pce apprentices, should pay for their mistakes.”
Ji Hao and the others hopped onto the eagle’s back. Meng Ao then turned back and said, “Ladies, please hold steady, don’t fall off.”
He grinned attentively at Man Man and Shaosi. Meng Aao’s eyes swept across the faces of the two girls, with a proud smile, then stamped his foot hard against the ck eagle’s back.
The gigantic eagle let out a shrill cry, along with which, clouds of ck smoke spurted out from those spell symbols on its feathers. Within the ck smoke, the ck eagle suddenly rose thousands of feet high into the air, hovered around, then flew towards the Rong Mountain n’s new territory that was located at over ten thousand miles away.
During the journey, Meng Ao never stopped describing how powerful the Qi Qiong n was to Ji Hao. He proudly told Ji Hao and his teammates that his family was one of the top-ranked powerful families in the Qi Qiong n. He also was pleased to tell Ji Hao that he had already awakened three thousand Magus Acupoints, and was only a step away from the peak of the Senior Magus level, and would break into the Magus King level, in at most ten years.
“At that time, I will be promoted, and be an elder of the outer pce...girls, after I be an elder, if anyone dares to bully you again, just let me know.”
In the end, Meng Ao couldn’t hold of his proudness anymore, and formerly struck up a conversation with Man Man and Shaosi, with a face filled with smiles.
Yu Mu and Feng Xing nced at each other, then helplessly shook their head towards Ji Hao. It was as if they were saying, ‘See, we were right, all elders and deacons of the outer pce are the same, they are just a bunch of bastards!’
Shaosi remained silence, her facial expression was as cold as usual. She was staring straight at Meng Ao, as if looking at a dead body.
Her eyes looked so...scary that Meng Ao was even subconsciously avoiding eye contact with Shaosi, only grinned and looked at Man Man.
As for Man Man, she hadpletely no idea what Meng Ao was talking about, and was only fiddling with her pair of hammers, while looking at the ck smoke spurting out from the feathers of the ck eagle, from time to time. She was wondering how this eagle could that seemed to be not that powerful, carry her pair of hammers.
Meng Ao didn’t get the admiration and intimateness from Shaosi and Man Man as he imagined, therefore, his face gradually turned dark, even darker than a ghost’s face.
Soon, the gigantic eagle arrived at the Rong Mountain n’s new territory and hovered above the area. Meng Ao shouted out in anger abruptly.
“I am Meng Ao, a Deacon of the Magi Pce! Tell that guilty man, Iron Yan, toe out here!”
