Chapter 58 – The Touching Master and Servant Relationship

When the first ray of white light illuminated Black Lake, the lake that was austere at night had thoroughly changed. The thin morning fog gradually dispersed, and chirping birds could be heard, the lake was completely still, like a large mirror, perfectly engraving the sky on it.

“Is Black Lake up ahead?”

A group of people in the forest was rapidly approaching Black Lake. They were headed by a dark-skinned bald-headed man, carrying an carrying a ridiculously sized giant ax, rushing at the front of the group. At the rear of the group, an old man with white hair and a white beard supported his lower back with one hand and used an old staff as a cane, he was following behind the group.

“What the hell, why is the ground littered with corpses?”

As Momm lead the group closer, he noticed that there were tens of dead Jackalwere corpses lying around them on the road. Most of them were killed by fireballs, while several of them had obvious sword wounds on their bodies.

“Don’t tell me this was done by Caesar’s group? They actually killed tens of Jackalwere with just the three of them?” Momm touched his head, he was not so much as surprised, but was more impressed.

You should know that all the students he lead were also the elites of Loran Academy. They were all genuine second-level magicians, several of whom have also broke through the third level, but if they chose three of them, and made them form a group like Caesar, Rosie, and Lin Xiao, then go face the tens of Jackalweres, could they also kill so many Jackalweres?

Momm couldn’t say.

Caesar was a magic swordsman. Not only did he have high affinity with magic, but he also never relaxed with tempering his physical body. On a real battlefield, his fighting power is probably several times that of a similar level magician! Because of Caesar’s existence in Lin Xiao’s three man group, their battle power was greatly increased!

In fact, Momm had long been coveting Caesar. He had tried to poach Caesar from Woos several times, and wanted him to give up on magic to concentrate on his fighting skills with him. He is sure that with Caesar’s talent and perseverance, after five years, Caesar will become one of the strongest in Eileen, and ten years later…

Caesar will replace the current hero, Greenton, and become humanity’s hero!

“I see the camp! Over there!” As Momm was thinking a wide view suddenly appeared in front of him, as they passed through the dense jungle, a spacious camp appeared.

Not far from the camp, he saw four familiar people. Three of the four were lying on the ground, like they were dead, while another beautiful silver-haired and red-eyed girl with a sexy maid outfit clung to a black-haired boy while weeping.

“Lin Xiao! And his maid! They’re all over there, let’s quickly go over!” Momm signaled the other teachers and ran over to help them.

Seeing the rescuer come over, that maid cried even harder.

“Wuuu… Master, wake up! Wuuu… Master!”

“Master, please don’t leave Elena alone! Elena doesn’t want you to die, master! Wuuu…”

The tears of a beautiful girl have always been the most poisonous poison for men, not to mention a loyal maid who fell into deep sorrow because she lost her master. Just watching from afar, this bleak scene made people in the place silent, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

“Sigh…” As he approached them, Momm was afraid that he would bother Elena’s weeping, so he couldn’t help but take gentler steps.

“Momm, what are you dazing out for?” Finally catching up to him, Woos was angrily swearing, “Hurry up and help them!”

“O-oh!” Momm was startled by Woos, and quickly ran over to check Lin Xiao’s injuries.

The situation was better than he expected.

Although Caesar, Lin Xiao, and Rosie were all unconscious, but at least they weren’t missing any limbs. If they were lucky, they may just be unconscious because of magic overdraft. This was already great news, but…

“How is Lin Xiao’s maid uninjured?” From far away, Woos was observing Elena.

Different to how cleans she was after the previous attack, this time, that gray burqa was missing, and her clothes were full of dust, some parts were even damaged. They looked like they experienced a battle, and looked much more normal.

However, she still had not a single wound on her body!

Caesar, Lin Xiao, and Rosie were clearly all unconscious. She was just a mere maid that didn’t know any magic, and was the weakest of their group, how did she have no injuries whatsoever?

Perhaps it was Woos’s delusion, but listening to Elena’s crying, it felt like Elena was faking!

Her expression was extremely stiff, her crying was like a thunderstorm without rain, she only made crying sounds, but had no tears. Although what she was saying was very sad, and invoked sympathy, but the tone of her speech was extremely odd, it felt like there was some defiance mixed in there.

Was she perhaps acting?

That thought flashed through his mind, but Woos just felt like he was over thinking it. In Woos mind, Lin Xiao’s maid was usually very aloof, her tone was cold, and she was expressionless, it wouldn’t be too much to say that she had facial nerve paralysis.

It may be because of her personality, even if she was sad, she couldn’t effectively convey her feelings through words and expressions. Thinking about that Woos became more relieved, it can’t be helped that Elena was originally an aloof maid.

“Lin Xiao’s maid, hurry and move, let me take a look at his injury!”

Momm first ran over to Lin Xiao to check his body, but Elena was still lying on top of her master and refused to leave. Momm was still young, so he wasn’t as experienced as old man Woos, and was completely fooled by Elena’s poor acting skills. He continuously tried to persuade Elena, and finally got permission.

“His breathing is steady, there’s no sign of any broken bones, there’s no obvious trauma…” He checked left and right, Momm finally came to a conclusion, grinned and said to Elena, “Don’t worry, your master isn’t dead. He’s just temporarily unconscious because of magic overdraft, he’ll wake up in a moment.”

“Really? That’s great! Thank you!” Elena thanked him with a stiff voice.

Lin Xiao, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, couldn’t listen anymore.

This fellow has been with him for so long. Why hasn’t her acting skills improved at all?

However, Momm was completely unaware. He accepted Elena’s thanks and laughed while touching his bald head, as if he had done something remarkable. After continuing to confirm that Caesar and Rosie were both alive. Momm finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, among the three, Caesar was the most seriously injured.

Caesar’s arm was already injured and because of the battle, his wound reopened. His entire left arm was wrapped in blood. His right palm was badly mangled and the webbing on his hands were completely torn open. Only the hilt of his broadsword remained and he was still tightly grasping onto it.

God knows how cruel was the battle that he experienced.

“Even if he was seriously wounded and bleeding, even if he was unconscious, he still was not willing to let go of the sword in his hand… as expected of prince Caesar, good!” Momm couldn’t help but lower his head to show respect to this young prince that was lying on the ground.

The aftermath work was completed by Momm and other teachers, Woos went around to carefully survey the lakeside. The traces of fighting around the camp could be seen everywhere. Just by looking at these Woos could already imagined the intensity of the battle last night.

However, where did the Jackalwere leader go? Why can’t he find the body of the leader? Did the leader escape?

“Woos, look at what this is!” At this moment, Momm, who was next to the lake suddenly shouted loudly.

Going over and taking a look, Woos was shocked.

“This, this was the weapon that the Jackalwere leader was using… that huge broken sword, there’s no mistaking it! But why is only the weapon left?”

Only the armor remained, there were no traces of the Jackalwere leader. Did he throw away his armor and jump into the Black Lake?

“Strange… Why do I smell a burnt barbecue smell?” Momm asked.

“Burnt?”

Woos took a closer look, only to find that the broken sword was covered with a thick layer of charcoal, and there was a burnt barbecue scent.

What happened? Could it be that the Jackalwere leader was burnt into charcoal?

Impossible. Caesar, Lin Xiao, Rosie, the three of them are only third-level magicians, even if they worked together to carry out a magic attack, it was impossible to burn the Jackalwere leader with no remnants.

What happened at Black Lake last night?

“Ohhh…” At this moment, a black-haired youth woke up from his sleep.

“Master, you’re awake!” A woman with a stiff expression started reciting her lines.

“Ah… my head hurts.” Lin Xiao’s clasped his head in pain.

“Master, you finally woke up, I thought you were dead!”

“I’m fine, the magic overdraft was too serious… sorry, Elena, I made you worry.”

“Master……”

“Elena…”

“Master!!”

“Elena!!”

The master and the servant echoed each other and performed a touching reunion, no one there doubted them even a bit.

At this time, Lin Xiao leaned by Elena’s ears, and whispered some irrelevant words.
