33 Seventh elder
"Hey Alec, why didn't you allow any of the golems to accompany us?, It would be a reminder to those people who quickly forgot about your brilliance that you're still the boss of the Gordons clan younger generation ," Arthur remarked.
"Shut up, Arthur, The only reason you want me to summon the golems is so you can show off with them. Why don't you just be as quiet as Brandon, who's walking on my left side?, If you continue with your noisy attitude, I might just sell you off," Alec snapped in anger.
He had been trying to figure out what went wrong in his golem-crafting process that kept causing him to fail at the final stage.
No matter how carefully he merged the elements to form a lava golem, he always ended up with failure.
It was a defeat that weighed heavily on him, considering the amount of time he had invested in the experiment.
"Boss, I apologize for that, but I could never be like Brandon," Arthur responded, shivering at the mere thought of staying silent mostly the entire duration of the day.
"We're here," Brandon chimed in, breaking through the bickering that he knew if one intervened to separate them, they could go at it all day.
"How dare you skimpy brats keep me waiting!" a loud voice suddenly echoed, reaching the ears of both Alec and Arthur.
They looked up, their heads turning to identify the person scolding them, and in that instant, Alec's whole body screamed danger.
"We're in big trouble," Arthur whispered to him.
"Who the fuck is that?, I feel like he can kill me on the spot. I didn't even feel this way when we fought those zombies," Alec whispered back with his mouth shut tightly.
"He's the seventh Elder."
The moment Alec heard the words "seventh Elder," he felt like his head was about to explode.
There was no one in the Gordons Clan who hadn't heard of the feats attributed to the seventh Elder.
He was practically a madman, defined simply as someone who graduated from one of the local mage academy and but learned to merge his fire and earth elements, resulting in the birth of a super-rare third element: the lava element, he had self awaken a combination element.
Controlling it was extremely difficult, so After his Breakthrough to theTier 5 Mage realm, he recklessly murdered Tier 5 mages from all of the Gordon's Clan rivals.
As he challenged them to a battle, they could only accept or reject in shame.
It even reached a point where no clan wanted their Tier 5 mages to face him, considering him nothing but a thorn in their eyes.
There was even an instance when a Clan had even hired an assassin to eliminate him after a daring challenge.
Just as she was about to throw a punch, Draco's voice stopped her in her tracks.
Gritting her teeth, she said, "Just you wait. After we're back, I'll settle the score with you."
"Hmph, who's scared of a little (Mid) Tier 1 mage? Bring it on," Arthur retorted.
Alec knocked him on the head, reminding him to keep a low profile.
"We're supposed to be low key. Don't bring any unnecessary attention to me, or else I'll let Legion train with you when we're back from this banquet thing," Alec warned in a hushed tone.
The words were still enough for both Knight and Agnes to hear.
Knight's body trembled as he recalled the golem that resembled a fearless monster with its spear and shield.
Agnes, on the other hand, had a determined gaze, longing for a chance to challenge Alec's top golem.
Ever since she was promoted to the (Mid) Tier 1 realm, she had always felt stronger than the average (Mid) Tier 1 mage and wanted to face someone above her.
Alec's golem just seemed to be the answer to her problem.
Arthur shook his head at Agnes as he observed her expression.
"Don't even entertain the idea of fighting Legion. He's a complete monster from the before. Heck, even the new monsters would wipe the floor with you," Arthur remarked, causing Brandon to burst into laughter.
However, both Agnes and Knight couldn't comprehend what he was talking about.
"Listen up, you brats! I don't give a damn about who you are or who your parents are, The only thing I care about is your strength. As the leader of this expedition, my only goal for you all is to utterly defeat the other clans geniuses ," Draco bellowed as a fiery spark of flame light in his hands, reflecting his passion.
"I don't care how you do it, The more chaos you cause, the better. And if any damn elder tries to make a move on you, rest assured, you'll be safe. Even I have come here to cause trouble. Is that understood?" Draco's voice thundered across the crowd.
"YES SIR!" the entire crowd shouted in unison, their morale soaring.
Despite Draco's unconventional speech filled with rubbish, they couldn't deny the fact that it motivated them.
As the kids waved their hands from inside the carriage to those bidding them a safe journey, Alec caught a glimpse of his old man smiling, unable to hide his gloating face.
"Why do I feel like I've been set up?" Alec smiled back at his Grand father as his thoughts wandering in his mind.
