Chapter 537: Holy Mages

dman, if you're not in a hurry, would you like to stay at the Lotus Residence for the night I still have some of your mother's belongings here, and I'd like to give them to you on this occasion."Lian..."How could that be The other day, he was still down because Golia left. Wasn't he staying home"

Simon's father frowned.

Simon's mother Laura opened her mouth and finally said:

I saw he was in a bad mood, so I let him go out with his friends to relax. He has been away from home for five days now.

Laura had to cover for her son because she knew he was going to see his mistress, Mary.

Although Simon concealed this matter very well, she couldn't escape her mother's watchful eyes. However, she had to keep it from her husband, otherwise he would surely punish Simon.

Then don't just guess, go ask his friend tomorrow.

"Okay, I understand! Take a break!"

The next day, Laura went to find Mary with her guards, but she was not there. Mary said that she had only met Simon once and hadn't seen him recently.

Seeing Laura's anxious expression, Mary knew something was wrong. A guess formed in her mind, but she pretended not to know, merely stating coldly:

Young Master Simon was in a bad mood because his fiancée had temporarily left, so he came to me for comfort. However, ever since I knew he was engaged, I have made it clear that I no longer want to associate with him. This time, I also firmly refused him. Out of courtesy, I treated him to lunch. When he left, many people saw him.

Mary's attitude was respectful yet her tone was firm, because after hearing her advice that day, Simon had hurried away with his guards, and indeed many people had seen it. She wasn't afraid of Laura finding someone to verify it.

Laura looked at Mary's flushed face, endured the unease in her heart and asked a few more questions, but she didn't get any useful clues. She left with people, unable to find any leads from her son. She then decided to look for clues from her son's attendants.

Just as Laura was searching for her son, the city of Sol welcomed Evan Rhodelman, the holy mage of the Rhodelman family, accompanied by Emilio Rhodelman.

Emilio stood beside the family's second elder, watching the mages who came to greet them, and the admiring glances cast upon them. His vanity was greatly satisfied, a polite smile on his face as he humbly greeted the mages of higher rank than himself.

Evan also had silver hair and purple eyes, which immediately revealed his affiliation with the Rhodeland family. After briefly greeting everyone, Evan took Emilio straight to Soul's Hill.

Upon meeting Bart, Evan inquired about his experience with the apparition. He learned that a powerful mage, driven by greed, not only failed to report the incident to the Mage Association but also attempted to seize the Soulflower. Ultimately, he was sucked into the spatial passage being constructed within the Sea of Souls and his fate remains unknown.

A flash of displeasure crossed Evan's serious face, making everyone behind him feel a sense of oppression. No one dared to speak up and explain.

"My Holy Mage, Batti once stopped them and promised he would tell the Magic Association about this place. He said they could harvest the Soul Blossoms here. But his greed got the better of him and he ended up harming himself."

Bart slowly floated before Evan, calmly stating.

They are souls trapped within wraith bodies, unable to leave the Wraith Hill. If they leave without forming a contract with someone, their souls will become unstable and gradually dissipate until they vanish completely. This is why he sought help from that high-level magic user.

Of course, Batty would never admit it, but after discovering the avarice of that high-ranking mage, he deliberately led him into the Sea of Phantom Flowers. It happened to be the time of the second anomaly, and the other party, caught completely off guard, was vaporized and absorbed by the void, disappearing utterly.

In order to get the message out, I allowed those few minors into the heart of Soul Ridge. My intention was for them to tell their elders what they saw and gain their attention. But when these children arrived, the third anomaly occurred right in front of them.

Then, Lord Lian saw the reason for the change and discussed it with his companions. They used a combined magic circle to interrupt the change. Just as they were about to completely sever it, something strange popped out.

To deal with that strange creature, Young Master Lian summoned the thunder element. This was too damaging to our souls, so I took all the souls of Soul Hill far away from here to avoid being caught in the crossfire and hid on the outskirts.

Bartti respectfully recounted the events he had experienced.

After hearing the same account as Master Connor, Ivan nodded and said:

"You've done very well. As for what that wizard did, it doesn't represent all wizards. I hope you understand."

Of course, after Young Master Lian and the others left exhausted, the arriving high-level mages, upon learning of the situation, stationed themselves with several other mages at the troubled location, doing everything they could to guard Soul Hill. We are deeply grateful for their efforts.

Bart immediately caught on.

Everyone loves to hear good things, including Ivan, the holy mage. So his face brightened considerably. Under Batty's guidance, he went to meet the first group of high-ranking mages stationed here.

The high-level mages stationed here constructed an isolation magic circle. When they detected that it was Evan Saint, the mage of magic, touching the magic circle, they immediately opened the magic circle and allowed their group to enter, performing a respectful bow.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"No hardship, this is our responsibility as mages."

The high-ranking mage at the head respectfully stated.

He was the high-level mage David who, after meeting Ripple and his companions, carefully inquired about what had happened and copied the contents of the memory crystal.

After Evan asked them several questions, he looked at the empty center of the sea of soul flowers and carefully sensed it. Finally, a smile appeared on his face:

"They did a good job, although they didn't completely close the spatial channel that the other side built, they did damage it, giving us some time."

Emilio's eyes flashed with displeasure as he stood behind Ivan, and then spoke.

"This is also thanks to Lian's good fortune and Miss Leia's help, otherwise it wouldn't be possible."

Impliedly, this is not entirely Lian's credit, and it also praises Leia.

For this, Evan did not deny.

Evan knew full well that it was just Emilio's little thought, he didn't say it out loud but in his heart, he was clear that Emilio was destined to be a child excluded from the heir.

Before coming here, he had talked with Connor, especially learning about the problem with his mythical beast, the Rhinoceros Crocodile. There was an unknown power in its core, and this grey power had entered Emilio's body. Although Connor had extracted it, unfortunately, because he couldn't eliminate the unknown power in the Rhinoceros Crocodile's core, he would continue to be affected.

But Emilios's beast wouldn't cooperate. Connor wanted to forcibly extract the power from its core, but Emilio refused, saying it would weaken the beast's strength, and that he would find another way.

This only deepened Connor's disappointment, as when Emilio proposed to come to Saul City with Ivan, he didn't refuse.s and asked, "Don't let the child have a childhood shadow.""Times have changed, he needs to learn to distinguish right from wrong. He doesn't have to watch the bloody scenes, at least let him understa...
