358 I Don’t Know Him (1/2)

”...” The entire Aurij Mountains seemed so quiet at this moment...

Dean was in a daze again...

This Sword Saint was dully looking at Lin Yun, as if he had forgotten the Frost Wolves chasing behind him. It took him ten seconds to process what that young mage had said.

Then, Dean's face turned red, and from red to purple, before darkening even further...

But for Dean to become a Sword Saint at his age, his self-control and temperament could naturally not be compared to that of the average person. Even when this angry, the Sword Saint only took a deep breath to suppress the anger that was building up.

Because Dean felt that it was beneath him to lower himself to argue with an inferior High Mage.

But it wasn't important if a petty mage was unwilling to help. This time, Dean didn't face the danger of being chased by the Wolf King and forcibly burst with Aura just to try to recruit an inferior mage.

The one he truly wanted to recruit was that Beastman...

Although he had been entangled with the Wolf King, he had still paid attention to the appearance of those two on the battlefield.

How could he not see them with his sight as a Sword Saint? The reason the two were capable of standing there so calmly was 90% due to that Beastman.

He was too formidable...

Right now, this Beastman was at most a 5th Rank Expert Swordsman, but once he burst with power, he would forcibly reach Sword Saint level, especially in such a battlefield. The Beastman's innate power was boundless. When he held that terrifying weapon, the destruction he brought forward was far stronger than that of a Sword Saint.

This was a subordinate that every Mercenary Leader dreamt to have, heroic and not afraid of death. The fiercer the war, the braver they became. Having such a subordinate in a war was already having half of the war won.

Dean burst with Aura to rush over here only because of this Beastman.

Originally, Dean wanted to use a gentler method...

Because Dean had noticed that the Beastman was heeding the words of the young mage and that they clearly weren't equals. Thus Dean wanted to first pull them into the battle and wait until they started fighting shoulder to shoulder to persuade them to join the Temple Knights.

As for after joining the Temple Knights...

The Beastman would definitely take priority. Dean had already thought it out. Once back, he would convince his leader to give the Beastman a vice leader position to tightly bind him to the Temple Knights. Naturally, they wouldn't discard that young High Mage. After all, based on his relationship with the Beastman, letting him lead an elite team shouldn't be bad?

Dean had already thought of all the arrangements...

But he hadn't expected that it would develop like this...

'Did that young mage eat something wrong? Why would he refuse to team up? Doesn't he know how rare it is to be able to join the Temple Knights in battle? Doesn't he know that teaming up with the Temple Knights would give them the friendship of the Temple Knights?'

This wasn't just Dean boasting...

How could this young mage not see it?

And whether he saw it or not, what truly made Dean angry were those rude words...

What did he mean, 'take your bird away from here'?

'Forget it…' After that deep breath, Dean had already gotten rid of his anger. He was a Sword Saint. How could he bicker with the younger generation?

”Beastman friend, your wonderful performance already won my respect. Let me introduce myself. I am Dean, the 1st vice leader of the Temple Knights…” After saying this, Dean paused for a bit. ”I officially represent the Temple Knights to invite you to join us, I wonder what you think about this?”

Xiuban had been gloating ever since that Sword Saint appeared. That guy's bird had ruined Lin Yun's plan, yet he still continued to be a bother...

But then, when watching the drama, he suddenly heard that Sword Saint, who was running out of luck, inviting him to join the Temple Knights.

Xiuban's brain froze...

”Eh?”

”Friend, rest assured, your identity as a Dark Flame Beastman might be a huge problem to others, but it is nothing to the Temple Knights…” Seeing Xiuban being bewildered, Dean thought that he was afraid of his identity being revealed and thus smiled confidently. ”No one in Okland would dare to offend the Temple Knights because of a Dark Flame Beastman.”

”...” At this time, the Draconic Beastman finally understood.

Suddenly, a horrified expression appeared on his face as he looked at Dean as if he was a freak.
