Chapter Summary
There isn't such a strict rule within the Mage's Guild, nor does it mean that every mage can be equipped with two War God-level guards. The two were just ordinary War God-level experts, similar to the city lord's two guards, but even so, they could keep Liu Ning occupied for a while. He had thought these two War God-level guards would be able to take down Liu Ning, but now he was poisoned, and their combat power had dropped significantly.
There isn't such a strict rule within the Mage's Guild, nor does it mean that every mage can be equipped with two War God-level guards. These two War God-level guards were actually recruited from other positions. The two originally intended to make a quick buck and didn't initially plan to harm Liu Ning. However, the price offered by Yale was simply too high. If they didn't take this opportunity, they might not be able to sleep at night, because Yale would elevate them to a higher level. There were many treasures they had only heard of, but Yale had placed them before them. The two were just ordinary War God-level experts, similar to the city lord's two guards, but even so, they could keep Liu Ning occupied for a while. After all, the difference in level was significant; it wasn't something you could just do whenever you wanted.
At the beginning, the two fought alongside Yale. Although they were somewhat surprised and impressed by Liu Ning's powerful combat skills, they remained calm and believed that victory would ultimately be theirs. However, as the battle with Liu Ning dragged on, they discovered that this kid's strength was far greater than what he had shown. His hidden strength was incredibly formidable, and if you weren't careful, his hidden power could kill you at any moment. Don't think this is an exaggeration; if you're not careful, this kid could definitely make you suffer a great loss. It was precisely because of this that everyone was now astonished, wondering what kind of person this kid would become in the future, and thus, they were also somewhat afraid.
If they were given another chance, these two would definitely not have chosen this mission. Although the things the Yale professor offered were good, what use are they if you can't even save your own life? Are they going to take them to the underworld? Who knows if they'll even be usable there? Even the King of Hell would call them fools for taking things they can't use. That's what's most frustrating for them right now. Moreover, the two brothers sensed Liu Ning's attack, which was slowly turning into a killing move. The long battle had changed Liu Ning's original mindset. He originally just wanted to take them down since they had no grudge against each other, but seeing them acting like old friends now, things were less certain. Liu Ning would definitely use his killing move, so the situation was extremely critical.
Yale also saw what was happening. He had thought these two War God-level guards would be able to take down Liu Ning, but now he was poisoned, and their combat power had dropped significantly. Yale had a good relationship with these two, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to speak to them. Yale wanted to go and help, but he knew how these two War God-level guards had come to be. If anything happened, the Mage Guild would definitely not let him off the hook. Unauthorized mobilization of the Mage Guild's War God-level guards was a serious crime. If there were no losses, the higher-ups would turn a blind eye and not do anything to a mage, but if there were losses, the responsibility he would have to bear would be considerable, and he would be severely punished.
This line of thinking reveals that Yale never believed his life would be in danger. He knew that no matter what, humanity would ensure the existence of magicians. Even if he did something outrageous, could humanity execute a magician? Of course not. Although his current strength wasn't great, no one knew what stage he would reach in the future. He might become a guardian deity for humanity. If humanity eliminated its own guardian deity, it would be digging its own grave. Would other magicians still be so supportive in future dangers? That was definitely impossible. Magicians were quite united; after all, they were one of the rarest groups of beings in the world. Therefore, Yale never worried about his life or death.
Linley, however, sensed something was amiss. He now wanted Yale to leave quickly, but would Yale actually leave? Linley had already tried to back down several times, hoping Yale would escape on his own. But Yale had created such a huge scene, witnessed by so many people. If he slunk away, he'd be ruined. He'd lost face in front of Liu Ning last time; the whole world knew Yale was useless, and many were laughing at him. If he ran away like that, what good days would he have left? So Yale insisted on staying. Even if things didn't work out in the end, he absolutely refused to believe Liu Ning would dare kill him. Because he was a magician, it was like a get-out-of-jail-free card; no one dared to lay a hand on him.
Linley was actually quite angry. When Yale made his move, didn't he consider the consequences? Liu Ning was now Linley's magical follower, although it was just a formal title. Within the Mage's Guild, this was a legitimate procedure. Now, without even informing Zhao Hui, he attacked Linley's magical follower. This clearly showed a lack of respect for Linley. If it weren't for the bigger picture, Linley would have already joined the fight. After all, to outsiders, Linley and Liu Ning seemed to be on the same side. If Liu Ning did nothing, that would be a serious matter. Linley was already being quite accommodating, just to maintain the overall situation. He shouldn't take Liu Ning's feelings for granted.
From the beginning, Lin Lei already knew what the outcome would be. He had to severely injure those two War God-level powerhouses. After they were severely injured, Yale would also be punished by the Mage Guild. As for Liu Ning, he could try to get him lenient treatment, since Liu Ning was the victim. This way, Liu Ning could vent his anger. If no one was injured, Liu Ning's anger might fester inside, and he would definitely have something to do when he went to the ancient ruins. At that time, he wouldn't be able to unleash his full combat power. The ancient ruins were extremely dangerous. If you didn't have your full combat power, it would be quite dangerous inside. Lin Lei didn't want anything to happen to Liu Ning there.
