60 – Obscure Mountain Range
More than 10Km to the west of Warlock College Antalya, on the edge of the main road, inside the biggest room of a small inn, four people sat beside a table. The 2 woman among them were precisely Anya and Inna.
Of the other two people, one was dressed in an Apprentice Warlock’s grey Changpao with three copper threads on the cuffs, with eagle eyes and a hook nose, it was a young man covered with traces of a b.l.o.o.d.y aura.
The other person was someone with a body as strong as a bear’s, dressed in a gray Apprentice Warlock’s Pao with three copper threads on the cuffs, with short blue hair, it was a man with a claw scar on the left side of his face.
The young man that was surrounded by a b.l.o.o.d.y aura stared at Anya’s firmly creased eyebrows and said in a deep voice: “Anya, why did you invite him? He’s merely a waste with a good uncle. He only achieved his rank by acc.u.mulating resources. In terms of battle prowess, perhaps he’s even unable to defeat a Great Knight. Such a guy will only be a burden.”
Anya’s eyebrows arched and she said: “Trucks, pay attention to what you’re saying. Have you forgotten the lesson that the idiot Bantania was taught? Or do you want to become a second idiot?”
The matter with Bantania had already been widely spread within Warlock College Antalya, moreover, his name became synonymous with idiot and moron. It was precisely because of this that Yang Feng hadn’t suffered any provocations in Warlock College Antalya. Although the majority of the students were jealous and despised him for being a waste that quickly promoted by relying on his clan’s power, yet no one dared to say anything offensive to his face.
Trucks frowned slightly, grasped tightly both of his fists, stared at Anya with eyes’ flas.h.i.+ng with a touch anger and said coldly: “Anya, could it be that you want to go snitch to that waste? Could it be that the relation between us can’t compare to that waste? What is so good about him? Is it because of him having a good uncle? He would be nothing without his uncle!”
“Trucks, don’t say another word!” The man with a claw mark on the left side of his face said in a deep voice.
The man with the claw scar on his face clearly had a relatively higher position, Trucks fell into silence after he spoke, but Trucks’ eyes were still surging with traces of anger and jealousy.
There was a knock on the door.
Inna went over and opened the door, with a head full of short black hair, an ordinary appearance, dressed in a grey Apprentice Warlock’s Changpao with three copper threads on the cuffs, it was a young man that walked into the room, the young man was under the protection of two tall and st.u.r.dy figures, with bodies as strong as a bear’s, appearing to be carved from a mold.
The young man with the short black hair with the appearance of an oriental was precisely Yang Feng.
Anya swept the two male-looking guards beside Yang Feng with a glance, her eyebrows arched, her beautiful eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a touch of anger, her voice had a trace of a chill: “Yang Feng, have you spoken to others about the information on the ruins?”
Trucks gave a disdainful laugh and ridiculed: “Haha, I knew it would be like this! As expected Yang Feng, you’re such an untrustworthy great young master. Anya, you were really blind, to actually invite such a guy.”
The of man with the claw scar on his face fixed his gaze at the two guards beside Yang Feng, after some time of sizing them up, he said in a deep voice: “Such exquisite mechanical golems! If it were not for the fact that they didn’t had any breath of life, I would then also be under the impression that they were humans, the reputation of Steel City’s mechanical golem legion is not without reason.”
“Mechanical golems?” Anya was taken aback, her fury melting away, she carefully stared at the two robots beside Yang Feng for a while, her spirit ripples enveloped the two robots, a trace of regret welled up on her face as she apologized: “Yang Feng, sorry for misunderstanding.”
“Humph!” Trucks gave a cold snort and then became silent.
The man with the claw scar on his face took the initiative to speak: “I’m Pierre, Yang Feng, I’m very sorry for the overreactions of Trucks and Anya, but please understand, this exploration is too important for us.”
Yang Feng said with a laugh: “It doesn’t matter!”
Pierre said: “Since everyone is present! Let’s sett off then.”
No one objected, they then turned and left the inn.
The Obscure Mountain Range was located at the border between three major powers, Warlock College Antalya, Savage Claw and Rose Garden. The Obscure Mountain Range was poor in resources and its environment was perilous. Therefore, those three major powers didn’t pay that piece of land any heed.
All kinds of wanted criminals, human sc.u.m, strange non-human species as well as those that couldn’t make a living in the human society, have all gathered in this piece of land and formed small cities one after another.
An inn’s gate was pushed open and seven young men and women dressed in adventurer’s clothing came inside, it was precisely Yang Feng and his party.
Adventurers were some strong and powerful people that ventured all over, completed their tasks and earned money. Their social status was only slightly higher than that of peasants, they relied on their adventurer’s badge to travel all over, they would appear where there was money to be made.
An life of an adventurer wasn’t as romantic as a lot of people fantasized, but rather full of danger, betrayal and death. A relatively valuable treasure might stir a group of adventurers to kill each other.
Once they entered, Yang Feng saw the small inn bustling with people, large numbers of adventurers were gulping down ale, eating roasted meat and speaking loudly. Some vulgar adventurers were even playing with women in public.
When Anya and Inna saw this, their eyebrows creased slightly. They had an aristocratic background and thus felt a trace of discomfort with regards to this scene.
While looking for a table to sit at, Yang Feng’s gaze fell on a maid, his eyes revealing a trace of interest: “Is that an orc? No, that woman should be from the Leporidae Clan, a type of human subspecies.”
Practically all of the maids in this small inn had a pair of rabbit ears, with pet.i.te figures and appearances similar to that of ordinary human woman, they had mainly blue and brown hair colors, they looked relatively beautiful.
Such women were referred to as the Leporidae Clan, they were a type of human subspecies, they were the descendants of the toys that Warlocks caught in other worlds. Leporidae Clan didn’t had much strength nor evolution potential, however, they were pet.i.te and adorable, they were preferred by some Warlocks.
“Hey beautiful! I’m called Dolly! How about coming to play with us? 5 Gold Coins for one night. I can guaranty that you’ll have a wonderful time!” A big fellow wearing a leather armor and exuding a faint aura of blood came over with large strides and spoke with a grin towards Anya, while disregarding everything else.
Anya, with her aristocratic background and a beautiful appearance, in this small inn, gave one the mesmerizing feeling of a swan within a flock of ducks. In addition to Anya, Inna was also quite beautiful. Countless gazes full of l.u.s.t and desire focused on Yang Feng’s group of people.
