Chapter 78

To release the magic power of level 2, one only needed to understand the corresponding magic principles and combine them with the corresponding operation mode of magic power. In addition, with the help of Eye of Perception, learning the magic of level 2 was not a big deal for Locke. He could learn it well as long as he read it once.

Seven minutes later, Locke put the book back on the shelf and took another one again.

In just half an hour, Locke and Athena two had read nearly 6 magic books.

Hochia on the side finally couldn’t help himself and spoke out to remind, “Locke, you need to learn magic step by step, so that you can lay a solid foundation.”

“We know your talent is very high, but you can’t be impatient. After all, you should know that haste makes waste.” Rowell said seriously.

Hearing the two’s words, Locke was stunned and soon understood what they meant.

He also nodded seriously, “Don’t worry. I’m not a person eager for quick success and instant benefit.”

When Rowell and Hochia thought that Locke had heard what they said, Locke stood up again, put back the level-2 magic book in his hand, and took out a level-3 magic book.

Looking at Locke reading absorbedly the magic book of level 3 in his hands, the two men’s faces froze and they immediately felt a little helpless.

Young people were always proud and ambitious. They still needed to suffer some setbacks and practice more.

The two looked at each other, and both of them saw a trace of helplessness in each other’s eyes. They didn’t continue to persuade Locke. They also knew that many things needed to be comprehended by himself, or it would be useless no matter how much they said.

When Locke was learning magic, the news that Hulett had been killed spread all over the city like a hurricane.

Especially when they knew that Hulett was kicked to death by an eight-legged horse, they all sighed, amazed, admired, and worried about the lives of Locke and the others.

In the hall of Moca Hotel, Sam and others were drinking wine leisurely.

“Captain, Hulett was actually killed by a horse!” A team member, Marjorie ran to Sam nervously.

Hulett was killed and died so shamefully?

Sam was surprised. After sighing for a while, he sighed and said, “This can be considered to eliminate harm for the people. I really admire the people who did it. However, they will probably be in trouble next. They have to face the crazy revenge of Tiger Mercenary Team.”

“Hulett was killed. Why are you so nervous?” Looking at the anxious look on Marjorie’s face, Sam rolled his eyes and said sourly.

Then he took a sip of wine.

Marjorie wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly, “Captain, according to the news, the horse that kicked Hulett to death seems to be… The eight-legged horse beside the lord.”

Puff~

Sam spat out the wine that had just reached his throat and looked at Marjorie in astonishment. The other team members’ hands holding wine glasses also froze. They looked at Marjorie at the same time, seeming to be frightened by the news.

If it was really the eight-legged horse beside the lord, then it meant that they would be the enemy of Tiger Mercenary Team!

“Are you sure?”

Sam also looked a little serious and asked Marjorie.

Marjorie nodded and repeated what he knew.

There were two people. One was handsome and unrestrained, the other was beautiful and elegant, and there was also an eight-legged horse. They must be Locke and Athena!

All of a sudden, the room was quiet. Everyone, including Sam, had long faces. Although Hulett was hateful, Tiger Mercenary Team behind him was the real behemoth.

After a long time, one of the team members looked at Sam hesitantly and asked, “Captain, are we still going to… Lister?”

Sam didn’t answer with a straight face. Although they had seen how powerful Locke was and he could kill the weaker poisonous scorpion among the level-4 magical beasts, the head of the Tiger Mercenary Team was the famous level-4 mage. Besides the team head, there were two other level-3 practitioners and thirteen level-2 practitioners of the Tiger Mercenary Team.

If they continued to rely on Locke, they would be enemies of such a powerful force. In front of such a force, they were too weak.

After two minutes of silence, Sam raised his head and said firmly, “My lord has saved our lives. Now that he is in trouble, I will never be a deserter!”

After saying that, he looked at the faces of the team members and continued, “If any of you wants to leave, you can leave now. I will not stop you.”

“Captain, I, Cecil, am not afraid of death!” One of the team members shouted with determination.

“I won’t leave either!”

“Yes, we won’t leave. We will advance and retreat together with our captain!”

The other team members were also affected by the passion of Sam and this team member, and they all shouted.

Seeing that the team members didn’t flinch at all, Sam became bold in his heart. He laughed and said, “Let’s fight with the so-called ‘the No.1 mercenary team of Dikas City’!”

Then he raised his glass.

The team members also raised their glasses. After they smiled at each other, they drank up the wine in their glasses.

After drinking a glass of wine, Sam led his team members and rushed towards Mage Guild. When they went out, they saw Pierce and Anne waiting at the door.

“Uncle Sam, dad said we were going together.”

…

In the magnificent hall, the usual bustle turned into dead silence, and the whole hall was filled with strong killing intent.

“Ah! My son!”

Looking at Hulett’s body, Matilda trembled and his face was filled with grief. His favorite son was dead!

Crawling on Hulett’s body, Matilda wept bitterly.

After a long time, Matilda finally calmed down.

At this time, his face was extremely gloomy, and there was a piercing coldness all over his body. “Don’t worry, my son. I will personally cut off the murderer’s head and avenge you!”

A cold light burst out from his eyes. He turned his head to look at the guards beside him. Matilda said in a hoarse voice, “Inform everyone to assemble immediately. Anyone who is late will be killed!”

Soon, all the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team had gathered, and a black mass of people stood in the yard.

“Sir, according to the information, the beast who killed the master and its owner is now in Mage Guild.”

One of his men reported to Matilda.

“Mage Guild.”

Matilda’s eyes narrowed and his face was full of killing intent. Did you think you could escape because of staying in Mage Guild? Even if it was Mage Guild, so what? If they didn’t hand over the murderer, I would wash Mage Guild with blood today!

“Let’s go!”

As soon as he finished his words, Matilda mounted his warhorse and took the lead in running towards the Mage Guild, followed by the others quickly.
