Chapter 671: What Do You Want?!

Chapter 671: What Do You Want?!

After chatting with Sein and urging him to rest more, Archimedes left the recuperation room.

Sein was currently in the central fortress, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s stronghold in the Verdant Leaf World.

He had no idea how Sia had managed to bring him all the way here at that time.

Not just Sein, but Natalya as well, was gravely injured by the demigod’s energy surge.

It must have been tough for Sia to rush to the central fortress, seeking aid for two critically injured members in her team.

Sein’s mentor, Lorianne, was an exceptionally gifted and powerful Rank Four dendro mage.

The spellcasters who primarily wielded dendro, lumen and hydro elemental magic in the Magus World were typically capable healers.

In addition to the Healing Water Crystal Coffin and the Life Green Algae, Lorianne also provided Sein with numerous valuable recovery items to preserve his life.

For instance, within the Healing Water Crystal Coffin, there was an elemental conduit, and a viscous green liquid was continuously injected into Sein. It was activator plasma, prepared under Lorianne’s guidance.

A single drop of this substance cost a magicoin.

The total cost for Sein’s healing during this period was estimated to have exceeded twenty thousand magicoins.

His mentor was the one who had paid for him in advance.

He was Lorianne’s sole apprentice. Losing him would cost her far more than just twenty thousand magicoins.

Moreover, her apprentice was injured while fighting for the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.

News of Sein's injuries had circulated among the mages of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring during this time.

While the exact amount of Sein’s medical expenses was unknown, the focus remained on his role as a tower master's apprentice who had actively engaged on the battlefield, directly confronting threats from a foreign demigod-level being.

This time, he had narrowly escaped death!

Those unfamiliar with Sein might remain indifferent to his fate.

However, this incident revealed that the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring was indeed a new holy tower, known for its fair and just environment.

After all, nobody wanted to be treated as mere cannon fodder.

The Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s practice of assigning combat missions fairly, regardless of the mage’s background, had certainly caught the attention of many ordinary mages in the Viridescent Land, particularly those from small and medium-sized mage councils that lacked significant influence.

Sein could never have anticipated that his severe injury would end up promoting the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.

The mages were rational analysts.

The first to fall among the demigods of the Verdant Leaf World would likely be the Green Cypress Pine—the creature that had injured Sein.

The Divine Tower of Verdant Spring’s command center had devised a strategy to besiege and eliminate it.

However, a counteroffensive from the Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly Clan from the eastern region had further complicated the matter.

The Divine Tower of Verdant Spring Army still held several trump cards, including the demigod-level Viridescent Seed held by Master Archimedes and the potential direct intervention of Master Lorianne’s clone.

In the recuperation room, Sein considered an alternative approach that could expedite the war in Verdant Leaf World without incurring significant costs—calling upon Tourmaline, the dragon turtle, for assistance.

Initially, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring had been reluctant to involve Tourmaline in the conflict, largely due to concerns about the reaction of Tourmaline’s sister, White Stella.

At the time, there were still too many unknowns surrounding the Verdant Leaf World, making it risky to deploy such an important demigod-level dragon turtle.

As the war progressed, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring had come to understand the situation in Verdant Leaf World fairly well.

Sein never doubted his bond with Tourmaline and could only imagine how the dragon turtle would react upon seeing him so severely injured.

If Tourmaline decided to join the Verdant Leaf World war out of anger, the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring could offer a reasonable explanation if White Stella later expressed her dissatisfaction.

They had not requested Tourmaline’s involvement; rather, she was the one who had insisted on joining to seek revenge for Sein.

Furthermore, Tourmaline had previously expressed dissatisfaction at being left out after the Thunderfall World War.

Inviting her now would align with her desires.

Sein wondered how Tourmaline had been faring, slumbering in the depths of Jewel Sea.

Before their departure to Verdant Leaf World, he had visited her. As expected, she was soundly asleep.

Opting not to disturb her peaceful rest, he left quietly.

Just as Sein weighed the benefits of involving Tourmaline in the Verdant Leaf World war, the door to his starkly white recuperation room creaked open.

Natalya entered with her arm bandaged, clad in a red battle dress. It was rare for her to show her feminine side, except on special occasions like her engagement when she donned a flowing, lavish dress. Even while recovering from her injuries, she wore thin leather armor over her dress, poised to join the battle at a moment’s notice.

Upon entering, Sein immediately sensed something was off with Natalya.

Her face was flushed a vivid red, but not from any illness—it suggested a different emotion entirely.

Without speaking, she reactivated the room’s elemental ward, then walked up to Sein’s bed and began to undress.

Caught off guard and still not fully recovered, Sein clenched the sheets with his right hand.

Struggling to sit up, he managed to prop himself on his elbows and blurted out, “What are you doing?!”
