Chapter 789 - Common Sense (1/2)

'Damn, I heard that this Barok was very arrogant and that he looked down on everyone in the Black Tower aside from Harren, but why did he offend Sir Mafa? Heavens, he actually wants to kill Sir Mafa!

'Do you really think that you can kill Sir Mafa just by having recently advanced to the 9th Rank? Too naive.

'Hoppet was a Peak 8th Rank Arch-Warlock, yet he was effortlessly killed by Sir Mafa like a helpless young kid, and you actually want to kill that Mafa Merlin?'

Weiss was scared shitless after hearing Barok making more death threats, and he immediately rushed into the reception room.

”Sir Barok, Sir Barok, there must definitely be a misunderstanding…”

Weiss was very polite as he rushed in.

Barok was extremely angry, when he saw Weiss, he immediately cursed at him.

”Who are you? Who let you enter? Damn b*stard, are you offending the prestige of a 9th Rank Archmage?”

Weiss turned pale and promptly explained, ”Sir Barok, I'm Weiss, do you remember me? I wasn't in the Griffin Fort before, so you might not have met me…”

Hearing this, Barok's expression mellowed. He knew that Weiss was already a peak 8th Rank Archmage who might advance to the 9th Rank within a few years. When Barok took over the Black Tower, Weiss would become the 2nd Seat, barring any unforeseen changes.

He had a bit of respect for this kind of powerhouse...

”Oh, turns out to be Sir Weiss. Is there something wrong?”

Weiss bitterly smiled as he wondered how he could persuade Barok.

”Sir Barok, I just heard you saying that you wanted to kill Sir Mafa Merlin... Was there some misunderstanding?”

As he heard this, Barok's anger soared.

”That damned Merlin Family, and that damned Mafa Merlin! They killed so many members of our Black Tower, yet they still dare to ignore my summons, making me wait here for an entire day without showing up! This is contempt! They are looking down on my prestige, looking down on the prestige of a 9th Rank Archmage. I want him to pay with his life!”

Weiss' mouth was wide open and he felt his legs weakening. 'For that f*cking matter? Because of such a dogsh*t reason?

'Hell, don't you know how these people from the Black Tower died?

'Open your f*cking eyes! There were over a hundred mana crystal cannons, and the Intrepid has an even more terrifying Hand of Destruction. A mountain that was over a kilometer tall was turned into a depression with one shot!

'What does a bit of cannon fodder even count as? Several Archmages died when fighting against the Fireblade Tribe. Didn't Sir Mafa's intervention avert a lot more loss on our side?

'Damnit, this scoundrel actually dared to cooperate with the vicious and greedy Raging Flame Beastmen. Does he want to steal from the Merlin Family that badly?

'A bunch of idiots! If not for Sir Mafa's appearance, the Griffin Fort would have been flattened by those damned Raging Flame Beastmen, yet you are still blaming him?

'Don't tell me that you think yourself unequalled after advancing to the 9th Rank? Something like Rank can only be used as a reference.

'If you want to die, don't drag me in, and don't drag the Black Tower in. That crazy Falton was troublesome enough, and now there is another one… Why do you have to pull the Black Tower down?

'This is no good, I have to properly convince this crazy guy. Mafa Merlin isn't someone we can provoke, he isn't a kind-hearted person…'

Weiss' anger soared, but Barok had higher status and was stronger than him, so he simply couldn't act too forceful. He could only advise him properly.

”Sir Barok, let's put aside whether there was a misunderstanding or not... Sir Mafa Merlin isn't that simple, you can't treat him as an ordinary Archmage.

”You know about the Fireblade Tribe's Tribal Chief, Hoppet, right? He was a Peak 8th Rank Arch-Warlock, yet he died easily at Sir Mafa's hands.

”Sir Mafa is terrifyingly talented, his casting abilities are awfully formidable, and he has far more mana than the average person. Moreover, he recently became an Artisan, and the True Spirit Magic Tool in his hand was his own creation. He is the most powerful youth I have ever encountered…”

Weiss kept talking about Lin Yun's strength, hoping to make Barok change his mind.

But when he stopped, Barok smiled at Weiss with disdain.

'That Weiss has no knowledge... No wonder he has been following with Harren for such a long time, yet I'm the one that ended up with the 2nd Seat of the Black Tower instead.
