One-Eyed Monster

Igor did not know where Kadi learned this whole set, but from the current situation, it appears that Kadi’s set is subtly having an effect.

Regardless of whether the four people in the smoke were willing or not, they now had to dig out their own powers to save this dying maiden because what Kadi brought them was an unending fear.

This fear came from an unknown state. The four of them did not know what they would face next, especially after witnessing the scene where their former master confronted Kadi and others head-on. They were further filled with dread. They couldn’t vent their anger on that puppet monster, and faced with the masters who defeated the puppet monster, they had absolutely no hope.

The only thing they could do was comply with their demands, to follow their instructions.

And this was something the four in the smoke were once adept at.

Although they were covered in wounds and couldn’t move their broken arms and legs, they were at least still alive, not like that puppet monster which no longer even had a form...

Thinking of this, the four people in the smoke began desperately trying to come up with solutions.

”How about it, have you thought of any way to save this girl!” Kadi continued to ask with his unique tone. With the mask on his face, it indeed had an alarming effect.

”Wait... Please give us a little time!” The burly Grim was exceptionally nervous at this moment. Even though he had once trained his body to be like steel, in front of these two young men, he was just a pile of dough, directly paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.

”Yes, give us some more time, we promise to come up with a rescue plan!” Ruben immediately followed, already beyond recognition, head broken and bleeding, appearing terrifying. However, this terror was just another form of misery; the real terror lay within him.

”Old man, it’s all on you now!” said the old smoker with difficulty.

”Let me think, let me think some more!” The Wizard Sims was about to collapse, with all the pressure on him, which was a bit unfair. But fairness was not for him to decide, because he was the only Wizard here.

The Wizard mastered Natural Force and knew many herbal remedies. Recognizing various plant diagrams is a compulsory course for an apprentice Wizard, and while Sims wasn’t among the top Wizards, he was at least a Gray Robe. Such a level wasn’t considered a master Wizard, but he did know some basic potions.

”Think quickly, time waits for no one. If anything happens to this maiden, I’ll exchange your lives for hers.”

Kadi’s fierce demeanor made Igor feel that this Kadi was a bit unfamiliar. Just as he was about to ask Kadi where he learned it, Kadi suddenly turned to wink at Igor, indicating for him not to ask for now, not to ruin the atmosphere he created.

Igor had to turn to look at Master Lao. He found Master Lao carefully tending to the unconscious maiden.

Seeing this scene, Igor couldn’t help but step forward to help, since seeing an innocent life become like this because of a conflict made him feel uneasy.

”This girl came to me a few days ago to get some horseshoes. She said her family had built a new stable and had a few horses that needed going out!” Master Lao said to Igor while wiping the blood from the maiden’s face.

”You know her?”

”Gaga County is not big, with only a few families. I know what those families do. I didn’t see her face clearly at first, but after wiping off the blood, I recognized her as the daughter of the Swen Family who raise horses.” Master Lao said again.

”This is indeed a regrettable affair...” Igor didn’t know what to say.

”I can still feel her presence, but it’s really weak. Look at her face, the blood loss is truly severe!” Master Lao said, glancing at the remains of that puppet monster on the ground.

”Hopefully, Kadi can make these bastards come up with a way to save her.”

”Gaga County is too small, with few Wizards. Reportedly, there used to be a witch, but now she’s traveled far, and there’s only an apprentice Wizard in the county to help residents with ailments and such. Normally there was nothing to worry about, everyone was living well...” Master Lao recounted calmly, as if talking about something quite ordinary.

Igor could tell that Master Lao was lamenting the unpredictability of life. The once peaceful Gaga County suddenly caught a wave, disrupting the routine lives of its people. This turmoil plunged the entire Gaga County into a passive situation, struggling to cope.

”If it weren’t for you this time, this county might have suffered even more disasters!” Master Lao said.

”That I don’t know.” Igor said honestly, for he truly did not know. He felt without him and Kadi here, that invisible enemy might easily take Master Lao away without leaving any trace, and possibly none of this would have happened, and this maiden might still be dreaming at this moment.

”You’re very honest, child. Your honesty makes me believe you’re a good person, so I will not refuse to leave here with you.” Master Lao said directly to Igor.

Igor was evidently unprepared for this statement from Master Lao, as he did not expect him to say such a thing.

Master Lao looked at the stunned Igor and smiled lightly: ”Looks like we should sit down and have a good talk later, child.”

”Seems so!”

At this moment, Kadi’s set of threatening methods had already taken some effect, as Wizard Sims, after struggling for a long time, finally came up with a rescue plan.

”In my memory, Sunset Flower can help people with heavy blood loss regain their strength... Sunset Flower is found everywhere, and now is not the Deep Winter Season, so finding them should be possible...”

”Really?” Kadi’s tone carried an intimidating force, as if about to devour these few bastards, ”You have nothing on you that can be used?”

Kadi’s words immediately awakened those four bastards...

They often faced the risk of being drained by their former master, so they had long prepared many blood-related treatment items. At this moment, they had shockingly forgotten all the things they had on them.

”Yes, yes, we have it on us. Kindly come and take it yourself, we’ll lift the Concealment Spell now!” The four in the smoke finally seemed to have grabbed hold of a life-saving straw, frantically trying to please.
