454 Strange (1/2)

In Thorne's eyes, the young mage disappearing for a few months before becoming a Family Council Member had to have a story behind it. But if the Family Council learnt what happened this time, it might be very difficult for him to keep his Representative status.

Thinking of this, Thorne looked at the young mage somewhat sympathetically. He knew that Mafa was about to become the Representative that lost his position the fastest.

Thorne hadn't noticed that Yuri and Ida had paled. They seemed very nervous as they looked at him with very tense expressions.

In fact, Ida had been scared to death when he entered the meeting hall alongside Lin Yun.

He was still in shock from the way the young mage had killed the Raging Flame Beastmen and was truly terrified when he heard Thorne reprimanding him. He was looking at Thorne in disbelief. 'Are you tired of living? You actually dare to provoke this young mage?' He assumed that as a fellow Commander, Thorne should know of the youth's might.

Ida had seen the power of the young mage with his own eyes, and saying that it was frightening wasn't doing it justice.

After all, the dozen Raging Flame Beastman Mages were all Peak High Mages at the very least, and there were even three Archmages among them. That had been a terrifying lineup that could even get rid of a 5th Rank Archmage powerhouse.

But the final outcome was unexpected. Such a powerful group was not able to harm the young mage at all and ended up being exterminated.

This was truly scary...

Ida had always been either in the Ancestral Land or participating in Planar Wars. He was knowledgeable and had enough experience, so he could tell that the young mage actually had strength equivalent to that of a 6th Rank Archmage, or even higher...

But the young mage was only a 5th Rank High Mage...

As he thought about it, sweat flowed down from his forehead. If things were that simple, he wouldn't be so scared. Others might have not known why the young mage left the Fort, but he was very clear about it. It was hardly an exaggeration to say that the young mage's actions saved the entire Planar Legion and removed the crisis as it was brewing.

The consequences would have been too horrible to contemplate if it hadn't been for the young mage taking care of those Beastmen. Endless Elemental lifeforms would have flooded the Flame Demon Fort, and it would have fallen into the Raging Flame Beastmen's hands.

It would have resulted in huge losses for the Merlin Family.

But now, not only had Thorne failed to figure out the truth behind it, he even severely reprimanded the young mage that was responsible for salvaging the situation, and he even said that he would report this matter to the Family Council to have the young mage punished.

Ida braced himself and stepped forward. Seeing the young mage's calm expression, Ida relaxed and cautiously said, ”Err, Sir Thorne, your words are a bit excessive. High Mage Mafa is a Planar Legion Commander just like you, he doesn't have any less decision-making power than you do. Moreover, the Flame Demon Fort hasn't been lost. The way I see it, reporting this matter to the Family Council isn't a good idea.”

”Sir Ida is right, we are all members of the Merlin Family, there is no need to make such a fuss over this. Moreover, High Mage Mafa clearly thought about the current situation, and Sir Thorne, you have always been a very tolerant person. After all, Sir Thorne and High Mage Mafa are working together for the first time. There will be a lot of time to get used to each other in the future…”

The aged Yuri wiped his forehead as he looked at Thorne. He felt that he had to say something, or else Thorne would continue causing trouble and make a big deal out of it. But he didn't want to have to tell a superior that he was completely wrong… this should be left to the other Commander.

And regardless of who was right or wrong, just the young mage's strength was enough to make others despair.

The consequences of drawing his ire were unthinkable.

Thorne was shocked by them speaking out. He didn't dare to believe that these two powerhouses from the Ancestral Land actually spoke on behalf of Mafa.
