#236 - The Court Mage's Shock

The person who entered the room was named Lian Bailey. He had been sent to Star Island by his father just last week.

For the Bailey Merchant Guild, Star Island was the most remote family property.

Not only was it lacking the prosperity of large towns, but all merchants who came to the island were restricted by the tribesmen to designated areas and could not leave without permission.

For Lian, coming here was no different from being in prison, so his resentment was very strong.

However, he didn't dare vent this resentment on his father, so he could only direct his anger towards the mysterious wizard his father was trying to curry favor with: Munn Scarlett.

"What audacity, daring to directly call out...:"

The tribal wizards standing beside him wanted to step forward and teach this ignorant brat a lesson when they heard Lian's words.

However, Munn raised his hand to stop them.

"I am Munn Scarlett, but what is this you're saying about sabotaging a plan?"

"You don't even know? Father even told me to come and rely on you."

Lian's tone became more and more arrogant. Seeing that Munn didn't dare to act, he assumed that the Bailey Merchant Guild's power had frightened him.

In this young man's eyes, the Star燼 Island was just a group of country bumpkins gathered together, not worth wasting his mind on at all.

"I was one step away from obtaining control of the Bailey Merchant Guild. If you hadn't saved Lynn Bailey, the entire guild would have been mine by now."

After Lian finished speaking, he waved his right hand towards the guards behind him.

"Otto, what are you waiting for? Come and kill him for me."

The guards behind Lian were already dumbfounded.

He did have some killing skills, but they were only useful against ordinary pirates.

Now, there were a dozen tribal warriors surrounding the room, and those sitting inside were clearly all tribal wizards. He didn't know how his young master could say such heartless words.

"Young master, be careful of your words. The other party might be the leader of the tribesmen."

"What's there to be careful about in my words! Throwing me on this godforsaken island and restricting my freedom, they should all be sent to the mines to dig until they die of old age."

Every time Lian said a word, the guards behind him waved his hands repeatedly, revealing a bitter smile.

After hearing the words 'die of old age' at the end, the guard was already trembling with fear.

Seeing that Lian was still not shutting up, Munn cast a 【Throat-Sealing Tongue-Lock】.

He finally understood why Lian Bailey didn't plan to help his son into the position of head of the merchant guild, even though he was a Bailey family wizard.

Based on Lian's personality, he was likely to ruin all the wealth that the entire Bailey family had painstakingly accumulated.

After being struck by the spell, the room fell completely silent.

Munn then looked at the guard, who was already sweating profusely from fear.

"Don't worry about your young master. Tell me, did Mr. Lian Bailey send a message?"

"Yes... yes, he just had someone send one yesterday."

The guard was clearly more perceptive than Lian, and his attitude towards Munn was very respectful.

"Oh, and what did the letter say?"

"Mr. Lian told us to stay on the island and that a ship would pick us up in two days."

"Just that, nothing else?"

"Yes... yes."

"I see. Then that's nothing. Take your young master and leave." Hearing Munn's words, the guard didn't dare to linger and quickly dragged the still wildly gesticulating, speechless Lian out of the room. Watching them leave, Munn fell into thought.

He did have some friendship with the Bailey family, but now Lian Bailey clearly knew that the court mages were looking for him, but he didn't send a message to inform him.

This meant that the other party had reached some kind of secret agreement with the court mages and had completely abandoned Munn.

Similarly, as far as Munn was concerned, the wizard lineage of the Bailey family was no longer trustworthy.

Munn originally had no intention of participating in this family's struggle, but in order to obtain a stable trading partner,

he could help Lynn Bailey completely stabilize the family.

Now, whether it was the materials Munn needed to refine magic potions himself, or the various supplies needed for the development of Star Island,

he could not do without a huge commercial organization.

And the Bailey Merchant Guild was very much in line with Munn's needs.

Of course, before that, the court mages still had to be dealt with.

According to what the guard just said, Lian's letter stated that he would pick up his son in two days.

That also meant that the court mages would definitely land on the island during this time.

It was on the night of the second day that Munn was studying the herbal medicine of the Spirit Tree Tribe: Soul-Scorching Grass.

Then he heard a conch horn sound coming from the southwest.

The conch horn was a type of shellfish that lived in the deep sea, and the horn made from it could transmit sound very far.

So it became the most basic communication tool for the tribesmen.

Hearing the sound, Munn didn't think much, put down the herbs, picked up his Nimbus 2000 broom, went out, and flew into the sky.

However, just as Munn had just taken off, conch horn sounds also rang out from the west and north.

"Three?"

Munn flew in the high sky and found that among the three directions, only the initial southwest had magical combat occurring. The other two directions only had the torchlight of the tribesmen, so he still flew towards the southwest.

Uly Hansen was the court mage leading the team to the Vena Islands this time. After obtaining accurate information from the Bailey family, he immediately drove his ship to the outside of Star Island.

Because he knew that there were tribal wizards on the island, he had his men attack from the other two directions,

while he himself secretly sneaked in ahead of time.

But unexpectedly, just as he had avoided the patrols of the ordinary tribesmen, he ran head-on into three tribal wizards who seemed to be waiting for him there.

Just as he reacted and prepared to cast a spell, three wands had already impatiently launched spells at the same time.

【Thunderbolt Blast】was the only offensive spell that Munn had taught the tribal wizards.

After a week of blasting mountains, every adult wizard could use this spell with ease.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When the three huge sounds ended, the court mage was still standing in place unscathed.

"There's something wrong with that robe."

Munn had already arrived when the tribal wizards cast their spells, but at this time, he was in the sky, and the night covered everything,

so the people below didn't notice.

The court mage was horrified when he saw the wands.

He timely propped up the red cloak on his body to protect his whole body.

The three 【Thunderbolt Blasts】 only left a little scorch marks on the robe, but it still had a defensive effect. At this time, the court mage's magic was also ready. After the robe was put down, a huge flame flower instantly bloomed, and a dozen petals flew towards the three wizards with scorching heat.

Lang, the leader of the three tribal wizards, noticed something amiss in advance.

He immediately put the wand back into his waist and quickly cast the witchcraft 【Tide Summoning】.

Just as the flame petals were about to attack the three of them, a huge wave was generated out of thin air from the sky,

and then roared down.

Water and fire collided, producing a large amount of water vapor.

Munn noticed in the sky that when the white air was produced, blocking everyone's sight, the court mage in the red robe instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Phantom Shift? No, there's still something strange about that robe."

Just as Munn was worrying about how to find the other party, Lang had already cast 【Wind Invocation】, and all the water vapor was blown away.

"Careful behind you!"
