“How is it? Are they acolytes from the Sage Gotham Hut?”
Shaya whispered, unable to conceal the worry on her face.
“I don’t know, but they are obviously not here on a holiday!” Jayden’s expression darkened.
“I say, if we did not choose this inn for lodging, would we have been able to avoid them?” Roth scratched his head.
“Avoidance?” Bosain smirked in contempt, “It is the thought of weak people. The Lilytell family would never ever have to avoid!”
Being looked down upon by Bosain, Roth tensed. He was suffering from humiliation, yet he did not react.
“Moreover, the Zither Moon Town is so small, and there is only this one inn. When we entered the town, we were already exposed. Any sudden movements will only attract the vigilance of the other party!”
“The crucial thing is, what is their motive for coming here?” Leylin asked.
“Could it be that they also have found traces of the clues in here?”
Jayden’s expression changed, “I purchased this lead for a heavy price, buying a book that was scribbled with ancient characters.
“Which is to say, the other party could have found something too. Who knows if they might even have a professor who tagged along…” Shaya’s face looked even more uneasy, “Should we abandon the operation this time?”
“No way!” Jayden was the first who refused. For this lead, he had paid too high a price, naturally he was unwilling for them to give up.
“I don’t think any of us here would be willing to let their professors claim half of the benefits that we obtained here after a dangerous exploration” Leylin added.
“However, before they notice us, the situation might change!”
“How about we get rid of them? I took a look, there are only three level 3 acolytes and two level 2 acolytes!” Jayden revealed a brutal expression.
“We can try, but it has to be done within the Zither Moon Mountain Plains. Moreover, we should eliminate all of the traces. I don’t wish for the other side to find a reason to go to war with us!” Bosain added.
“It could also be some wandering magicians, instead of the acolytes from the Sage Gotham Hut…”
Roth said, his voice extremely soft.
A total of five acolytes, with three level 3 acolytes. This formation required too much time and effort to nurture them, so wandering magicians would never be able to do it.
Only academies and large scale magician guilds would be able to send out these many acolytes at once.
“Alright then! No matter where they are from, even for the one percent chance that they are here to seek out the remnants, once they enter the Zither Moon Mountain Plains, they are our enemies!”
Jayden spoke in a murderous tone.
As acolytes, they did not wish to break the unwritten rules of the Magus World by taking action within the small town where regular humans lived. As for the other party, they could very well hold the same thoughts.
