469 Busybody (1/2)

Naturally, they knew Thorne was right, the young mage taking five hundred Great Mages to attack the Ghost Valley was just making a fool of himself. Not many of these five hundred Great Mages would be able to survive if they ended up fighting the Thawing Fire Tribe and it would be a huge loss for the Merlin Family.

”Sirs, you should know that two months ago I sent a report about Mafa Merlin to the Ancestral Land…” Thorne crossed his hands while softly tapping on the table, a pondering smile on his face as he took a deep look at Ida and Yuri, ”If nothing unexpected happens, Mafa Merlin will be relieved of his Commander position. That way, it will stop him from making a scene.”

There had been no movement from the Ancestral Land after they received that letter, but Thorne wasn't worrying, he actually felt good. The Ancestral Land was most likely discussing how to handle Mafa Merlin. The longer it took the more serious Mafa Merlin's problem was, but ultimately, Mafa Merlin would be severely punished.

Thorne wasn't too concerned.

In his eyes, the damnable Mafa Merlin wouldn't be able to prance around any longer.

Suddenly, mana fluctuations rose up in the meeting room, prompting a happy expression to appear on Thorne's face. He knew that this was the answer from the Ancestral Land. As a surge of aura was emitted, countless golden runes appeared in the air, fiercely flickering.

”Haha, Sirs, this is so timely, the Ancestral Land's answer arrived. Let's take a look at how the Ancestral Land plans to punish Mafa Merlin…”

An unconcealable smile appeared on Thorne's face.

”O… Okay.”

Ida and Yuri's faces paled when they felt the familiar fluctuations, they weren't sure whether the young mage would be punished by the Ancestral Land or not. After all, only they knew the truth behind the battle that happened when they arrived to the Flame Demon Fort. If necessary, they were willing to testify on behalf of the young mage.

But they couldn't easily explain the matter of the young mage leaving for the Black Tower's Dark Moon Fort. The young mage, as a Commander of the Flame Demon Fort, had a special status. It would be easy for the Ancestral Land to overthink since he went alone to the Dark Moon Fort and Thorne was adding oil to the fire.

Beads of sweat dripped down their forehead, their robes quickly getting drenched and sticking to their own backs. But they still raised their heads and looked up at the golden runes with apprehension.

After a few seconds, those golden runes started changing. Just like squirming tadpoles, they formed clear and visible characters. This was definitely the answer from the Ancestral Land, and when Ida and Yuri worryingly looked at those words, they couldn't help freezing, they then started chuckling, a faint smile on their faces.

In fact, the message from the Ancestral Land only contained one word, ”Busybody”.

Busybody!

Ida and Yuri's faces were thoroughly red, they could barely resist smiling. They had imagined countless possibilities, but they had never expected the Ancestral Land's answer to actually be one word. A simple word targeted at Thorne who had reported to the Ancestral Land.

It was funny when one thought about it.

Thorne had just said that the Ancestral Land would definitely relief Mafa Merlin of his position as a Commander, but the Ancestral Land not only didn't punish him, they were dissatisfied by Thorne Merlin, otherwise they wouldn't have told Thorne that he was a busybody.

Ida and Yuri were currently looking at Thorne with an extremely strange expression.

This was a proverbial slap which not only echoed, it was the kind that would make Thorne spit out blood.

In fact, Thorne truly had the urge to puke blood, 'What's this? I clearly reported Mafa Merlin's offenses to the Ancestral Land, yet they didn't say anything about it and scolded me instead.'

'Damn…'

'Leaving the Flame Demon Fort at a sensitive time without informing anything, almost leading to the fort falling into enemy hands, as well as secretly leaving for the Black Tower's Dark Moon Fort the next day and staying a full morning there.'

If he could, Thorne would love to ask the Ancestors, 'How could reporting this make me a busybody?'

Thorne's face was ashen, his heart was beating extremely fast as he was too upset. He had thought that taking away the young mage's Commander status was in the bag, but he hadn't expected such an outcome.

Thorne's eyes were extremely red, bloodshot. Fury raged within his heart as he looked at the word formed from those flickering yellow runes until he couldn't contain it anymore and let out a beastial roar. He had waited happily for two months, only to be treated as a busybody, how could he not be angry?
