Ah-Dai seeing the other side being so polite, hurriedly returned the courtesy saying: "You, you don't have to be polite, we are just passing by here, Uncle Orle didn't give any instructions."
Xī Fēi's eyes widened as he heard ā Dāi's voice, which seemed to be quite young, and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone: "Excuse me, which elder of the Magic Guild are you?"
Yan Li De Yi said: "My brother was just awarded the title of elder by President Kari."
Yan Shi pulled his brother over and understood that Yan Li was too straightforward, while Ah Diao was too dull. He stepped forward to explain: "Commander, sir. We indeed came from Guangming City, but we are not envoys. We just want to pass through the military camp and head to Luori Empire. When we were in Guangming City, the lord of A'erdousi City gave us a token, saying that with this token, we can pass through any military camp of the Huasheng Empire."
Xī Fēi let out a breath of relief, thinking that it wasn't some new instruction from Governor Ordos. Now that he understood their identities, he was still very curious about the three of them, especially the one wearing the attire of an elder of the Magician's Guild. "In that case, I'll have someone escort you three out of the camp later. Please rest for a while and eat something first. Someone, prepare food to entertain our three guests."
A'Duo lifted up the hood on his head and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Commander." They had been rushing for half a day and were indeed tired.
The generals inside the headquarters saw Ah-Dai's youthful appearance, including Xifeier, who were all shocked and exclaimed. Xifeier whispered: "Elder, I didn't expect you to be so young."
He smiled awkwardly and said, "I, actually my magic level is not high, getting the elder's position was just luck."
Xī Fēi laughed and said, "Strength can prove everything. If you can get the recognition of the Magician's Guild, how can it be explained by just two words - luck? The elder is indeed young and promising! Alright, you all go rest first. When you leave, I will send someone to escort you through the camp." He then called a soldier beside him to take Ah Duan and the other three away from the command center.
After seeing off the three fools, Xifel furrowed his brow and sat back in his main seat. He had always been cautious in his dealings, and this young Magician's Guild leader naturally aroused his suspicion. But the three fools did indeed have the token of Ordos, which made him hesitant.
The aide-de-camp beside him apparently saw the commander's doubts and stepped forward, saying: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I think these three people are very suspicious. Although I don't know magic, I've heard that cultivating magic is difficult. That young man looks like he's not even twenty years old, how can he possibly have reached the level of a Magic Guild elder? There must be some trickery involved. Maybe they're actually spies from the Sunset Empire hiding within our borders, and when they saw our army was on high alert, they wanted to quickly retreat back to the Sunset Empire. I think we should keep them in the military camp."
The staff officer's words happened to hit Xini'er's mind, and he nodded: "It is possible, but how did they get the token of Governor Ordos? I checked it before. The token was indeed real. This matter must be handled carefully. If they really got the token from Governor Ordos, we would be blamed by Governor Ordos if we detain them arbitrarily."
The staff officer also found it difficult and frowned, saying: "Those dark forces of the Empire of the Setting Sun have many strange abilities. It's possible that they stole the Governor-General's token."
Xī Fēi ěr shook his head and said, "Although this is possible, the Governor's token has always been kept tightly under wraps, and there are many skilled guards around him. It's not easy to steal it after all. Let's be cautious."
Sitting under the Westfield's first tree, the second legion commander Rick said: "Big brother, it's simple. We just need to test their strength and we'll know whether they're true or false."
Xī Fēi's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "How can we test them? Can their abilities prove their identities?"
Rik smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course it can be proven, big brother. Don't forget, we also have people from the Magician's Guild here! The elder's strength shouldn't be too weak, right?"
Xī Fēi's eyes lit up and he said: "You're saying..."
Ric nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me. If they are spies, I guarantee that none of them will escape. You continue discussing the Sunset Empire's affairs, I'll go take care of it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the command center. The Magician Corps held a transcendent position within the army group. Even in the Hua Sheng Empire, which had the most magicians, there were only three hundred-man magician corps. They never participated in military meetings and would only take action during wartime. They were more expensive than the heavy cavalry corps; the treatment of a hundred-man magician corps was equivalent to that of an ordinary ten-thousand-man army.
Three silly people in a tent not far from the command center received warm hospitality. After eating and drinking, they sat together to calculate where to start searching for the elves' traces in the Fallen Empire. At this time, the door curtain of the tent was lifted, and two magicians walked in. From their magic robes, one was a water-elemental great magician, and the other was a fire-elemental great magician, both were over sixty years old. When they saw Ah-Dai's attire, their eyes lit up, and the fire-elemental great magician saw the six-pointed star emblem on Ah-Dai's shoulder and was taken aback before pretending to be respectful: "Great Magician Sui of the Three Magic Teams has seen the elder." After finishing speaking, he and the water-elemental magician simultaneously paid their respects to Ah-Dai.
A'Dai was startled and quickly stood up to return their salute. "No need for formalities, Colonel Sri, are you looking for me?"
Suri glanced at her companions and nodded, "Yes, we heard that the elder of the guild came here. As a member of the magician's guild, how can we not come to pay our respects?"
"Please, both of you, take a seat and don't be polite. I'm just a nominal elder anyway."
The two Sri were the ones invited by the commander of the Second Legion to identify the three idiots, and as soon as they heard that a elder who was only over twenty years old had arrived, they snorted in disdain. The cultivation of magic requires time, and in the guild, only magicians who have reached the rank of Magic Guide can become elders. How could a young man under the age of twenty possibly reach this level?
Sri's eyes carried a hint of disdain as he cut to the chase, saying: "The guild has gained another elder, we're all surprised. Can I take a look at your magic card?"
He looked at the card with a mixture of surprise and embarrassment, "Don't call me elder anymore, my name is Ah-Dai. Here's my card." He handed over his golden card. Sri took the card, his eyes widening in shock. Previously, he had thought Ah-Dai was an imposter. But looking at the card that symbolized his identity, he couldn't help but abandon his previous suspicions. The method of making a long-elder-level magic card was extremely complicated and only known to the elders and the president within the guild. To issue a new elder-level magic card, it required the president's consent and the approval of at least five elders after review. It was made by the president himself. From the energy emanating from the card and its appearance, it was indeed authentic. Sri felt a few more points of respect in his heart, and his previous doubts disappeared. He handed the card back to Ah-Dai with both hands, saying, "So you're really the new elder of the guild. I apologize for my earlier offense."
"Ah, no, no, how could you possibly offend me? To be honest, I still don't understand why Uncle Kari made me an elder in the first place."
Sri looked embarrassed and said: "A-Dan elder, why do you want to go to the Empire of Sunset? The situation between the two sides is very tense now. If you go there, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable for you!"
Just as Ah-Dai was about to respond, Rocky interrupted and said: "Captain Sui, you don't need to beat around the bush and test us. You're wondering if we think Ah-Dai is too young to be the Guildmaster, right?" As soon as Captain Sui and his companion entered, Rocky had already discerned their intentions from their expressions.
Sri was taken aback by the rock's question, stuttering and saying: "No, no, no, we didn't mean that. It's just that those generals in the army group think the elder is too young, so they suspected him of being a spy from the Fallen Empire. But the magic card has already proven his identity, and we have no more doubts. However, those soldiers are stubborn. Elder Ah-Dai, can you show them your magical powers, so they won't suspect again?"
Yan Shi angrily said: "Isn't that what I meant? The army of the Hua Sheng Empire doesn't believe in friends like this? We came with the token of the Ordos Governor-General."
Impulsive Rocky suddenly stood up, drew out his double axes from behind his back and said angrily: "Big Brother, Ah-Dai let's go, I'll see who dares to block our way."
A'Dai was startled, and hastily grabbed onto Yan Li, saying: "Yan Li big brother, don't be impulsive. Actually, it's not surprising that they would suspect me, I really don't look like the Guildmaster of the Mages' Association. But, Commander Sui, my magic level is indeed not high, how can you ask me to demonstrate?"
Sri had already identified Ah-Dai's identity, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel suspicious again. Without real power, how could he sit in the position of elder? "Elder Ah-Dai, don't be modest, just casually show off your strength and let those generals from the army take a look."
"Ah, geez... I'm in a bit of a bind here... But, uh, the thing is, I only know regular fire magic..."
"Who said that? You're still good at summoning magic, aren't you? Ah-Dai, why don't you summon a dragon to show them and let them know how powerful you are?"
A'Dai's heart moved slightly, and he only thought of the reason why he could become an elder. He thought that summoning a dragon general and raising a dragon were different, although it was also surprising, but it should still be acceptable. He nodded slightly: "Okay, Commander Sui, let them clear out a space for me first, I'll try."
As soon as Sri heard Yanli say that Ahdai had the ability to summon dragons, he immediately looked at him with new eyes, and in surprise, he repeatedly agreed and turned around with his deputy to leave.
"Who would have thought it'd be so hard to pass through here? We should've taken a detour if we knew."
The rock that had calmed down shook its head and said, "Actually, it's not their fault. The relationship between the Huasheng Empire and the Luori Empire is tense now, and their suspicion is not unreasonable either. Alright, let's go out. Brother Ah-Dai, do you have confidence to summon the dragon again? If not, don't force it. If really can't, we'll just have to stay here."
Yan Li angrily said: "If they don't let us through, we'll fight our way out."
Yan Shi glared at him and sneered, "You're so capable, go ahead! Outside, there are 100,000 troops. No matter how high your skills are, can you defeat 100,000 well-trained soldiers?"
Yan Li was suddenly speechless, muttering and unable to speak.
Ah-Dai hesitated in his heart, "Summoning" the dragon was simple for him, but he still feared that if he summoned the dragon in front of so many people, it would be too shocking. "Rocky big brother, if we summon the dragon, can we leave?" Rocky was taken aback and said: "Ah-Dai, are you not confident? If you're not confident, then forget it. If all else fails, we'll just stay here, they won't dare do anything to us, once they get news from the Lord of Ordos City, they will naturally let us go."
Ah-Dai said: "I'm not saying I'm not confident, it's just that summoning a dragon is a bit too scary."
"Yan Shi shook his head and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Now, no matter where you are, as long as you have real power, everyone will respect you. Summoning a dragon with magic, that represents how strong your power is!"
"Alright, let's do it again then. Time is running out. The sooner we rescue the spirits' kin, the less suffering they'll have to endure."
Three people walked out of the tent, and outside had already gathered many people, including all members of the magician team, as well as hundreds of soldiers. Xifen did not appear, seemingly afraid to face the three people with some embarrassment. Rick stood at the forefront of the soldiers with a cold smile, he would never believe that a young man who looked less than twenty years old could summon a dragon. Sri saw the three people come out and made eye contact with Rick. Rick ordered the soldiers to disperse and clear out an area of hundreds of square meters in the military camp. Sri directed his subordinates, the magicians, to chant magic spells together. Among the hundred members of this magician team, there were four great magicians, twenty-seven high-level magicians, and the rest were mid-level magicians. Although they didn't have very strong magical abilities, they had been working together for many years, and their combined group magic was something that even a demon would find troublesome. Under the flashing light, a colorful magic barrier suddenly appeared in the empty space, its brilliant colors breathtaking.
"Old man, this seal is one-way, only defensive inward. If you summon the dragon inside, it won't affect the outside. However, we've never seen the dragon's attack before, so be careful not to let him break through."
A'Dai nodded and walked directly into the boundary, and as he passed through it, he indeed did not encounter any obstruction, only feeling a surge of energy fluctuations sweeping over his body. Standing in the center of the empty space, A'Dai closed his eyes and sent a message to the Holy Evil within the Dragon's Blood using his spiritual power. The Holy Evil sensed that A'Dai was calling him and was overjoyed, "Brother, are you looking for me?"
"Little evil spirit, I can only let you out for a little while, and then you have to come back, okay?"
"Brother, Xiao Xie is so bored! And it's been a long time since I've eaten anything, can you get me something to eat?"
"Ah-Dai was taken aback and asked: 'Are you hungry?'"
Sheng Xie replied with a hint of embarrassment, "I'm not very hungry. But I do miss food." After all, he was only half a year old and still had the heart of a child, his love for food was no less than Ah Dai's craving for mantou when they were in Ni No city. Ah Dai deeply understood this feeling, "Alright, brother will try to get you some food. Okay, I'm going to let you out now, but don't run around after you come out."
The people outside the barrier saw Ah-Dai standing still and became somewhat anxious, while Rike had a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. If Ah-Dai couldn't come up with something satisfactory in a little while, he would give the order to capture them. He muttered: "Spies of the Empire of the Setting Sun, you think you can escape from me?"
Ah-Dai suddenly opened his eyes, and to make it more convincing, he stirred up the true energy within his body. His body instantly emitted a white glow, and under the sacred aura, Ah-Dai's silly face looked solemn and majestic. He whispered: "With the blood of the divine dragon as the key, open the great gate of time and space." A blue light halo spread from Ah-Dai's chest, and a circle of blue light rings floated out.
A mighty dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth, as a holy evil figure emerged in a blue glow. Under the sunlight, the holy evil's body of over four meters long reflected rays of light on its gray scales, with seven sharp horns on its head and back shining golden. Its wings spread wide, it let out a mighty roar towards the sky, with an unusual glint in its golden eyes. Having finally come out to take a stroll, it naturally wanted to stretch its body and shake off its spirits.
It's been a few days since I've seen Holy Evil, and Ah-Dai has been missing it terribly. As soon as he sees its massive and familiar figure, he forgets that he's in the middle of being tested by those troops. He leaps into the air, gently floating down to land on Holy Evil's head, grabbing onto one of its horns to steady himself. Sitting on Holy Evil's neck, Ah-Dai pats its big head, saying "Little Evil, I've missed you so much!"
Sheng Xie hummed a soft tune, and Ah Dai's heart echoed with his voice, "Brother, I also really miss you!"
Rick was already stunned, and the majestic and powerful figure of Sheng Xie had deeply imprinted itself in the minds of everyone present. His radiant body seemed sacred to all who beheld it. Sri shouted loudly: "Elder, that's enough! You can recall the dragon now." The dragon aura emanating from Sheng Xie continued to assault the surrounding magical barriers, which was already sufficient proof of Ah-Dai's strength. He had completely understood why Ah-Dai could become the Guild's Elder.
Sheng Xie let out a low growl and shook his head, clearly not wanting to return to the Dragon's Blood so soon. Ah Diao only then realized there were still many people around and communicated with Sheng Xie through spiritual power: "Little Xie, it's too crowded here, why don't you go back first? Is that okay?"
"Brother, you're not good! You just promised to let me have some delicious food, you can't go back on your word!"
The silly guy didn't want to force the Holy Evil, anyway, it had already been seen by these people. He floated down from the Holy Evil's back and rushed towards it: "Then you stay here quietly, don't move around randomly, brother will go find food for you." The Holy Evil heard that it didn't need to return to the Dragon Blood immediately, suddenly excitedly nodded its big head, and lay down on the ground, enjoying the warmth of the sun, closing its eyes, with a contented look.
The silly Ah Dong shook his head helplessly and walked towards Sri. When he reached the boundary, he suddenly encountered an invisible barrier. "Commander Sri, aren't you going to withdraw the boundary first?"
Si Rui looked at Sheng Xie with some hesitation and said: "But, but your dragon hasn't been recalled yet!"
"Don't worry, it's under my control and won't attack anyone easily. It has a very gentle nature."
Sri was relieved and ordered his subordinates to open the seal, welcoming Ah-Dai out. Rick saw Ah-Dai walk out of the seal and immediately came back to his senses, running over quickly and excitedly saying: "Elder, your magic is truly amazing! This is my first time seeing a legendary dragon, it's so beautiful! If I could become a Dragon Knight, that would be awesome! Elder, are you willing to sell your dragon? I'm willing to exchange all of my assets for it."
As soon as he heard that he wanted to buy the Holy Evil, Ah-Dai's face suddenly sank, "Not for sale, it's my friend, not a commodity. Besides, I summoned it with magic, and it will disappear in a while." Turning his head to Sui Rui, "Commander Sui Rui, this dragon is a bit hungry, can you find something to feed it?"
Sui Rui was taken aback, although he wasn't quite clear on the principles of summoning magic, but he had never heard that summoned creatures needed to eat. He hastily agreed, "Yes, yes, Colonel Rick, you see..." Rick, despite being rejected by Ah-Dai, didn't get angry, and instead grew more fond of the silver giant dragon. "No problem, I'll go find something delicious for it." With that, he excitedly turned around and ran off. At this time, news of Ah-Dai summoning a dragon had already spread throughout the entire camp, and soldiers who came to watch had surrounded the barrier, making it impossible to pass through. This made things difficult for the mages, whose magic levels weren't high to begin with, and maintaining the barrier was extremely challenging. However, since Ah-Dai didn't seem to intend to recall the dragon, Sui Rui couldn't let them remove the barrier for the sake of camp safety, so they could only barely hold on.
Western Field naturally received the news, and as soon as he heard that Ah-Dai had summoned a dragon, he immediately scolded the previous staff officer until he was covered in blood. He personally led his subordinates to the boundary of the seal. "Ah! Elder, I'm really sorry, earlier I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Rick mistakenly thought you were a spy and wanted to test you, I'm extremely angry about this, it's not what our headquarters intended. You can rest assured, I will definitely punish him." Western Field was indeed an old sly fox, with just one sentence he pushed all the responsibility onto Rick's shoulders.
Ricke happened to be carrying a large plate of food back, and upon hearing Xiphel's words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly understood what Xiphel meant, and hastily chimed in, forcing a smile: "Right, right, this is all my fault, Elder, please don't mind me, I'm also thinking for the sake of the Hua Sheng Empire. The situation is tense now, so we can't help but be cautious! You two came suddenly, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake."
Xī Fēi was satisfied with a glance at Rick, still his old brother understood his intentions, pushing the whole thing onto Rick alone, it's better than letting this powerful magician guild elder misunderstand the entire Bright Tiger Army. Pretending to be angry, he said: "Rick, Military Commander, what you did today is too much, Elder is our most honored guest, how could you misunderstand him? In the name of Deputy Group Army Commander, I declare that from now on, Military Commander Rick will be suspended for half a year."
Rik hastily and respectfully accepted this lenient punishment, holding up the food to Ah Dumb and saying: "Elder, don't you think it's time to give these foods to the dragon you summoned?"
Ah-Dai looked at Rick, who was excitedly holding a large tray, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. The tray was filled with all sorts of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and Ah-Dai had no idea where he had found them. He nodded and said, "You give me the food, I'll take it in for him."
Rui Ke smiled and said: "Elder, can I go in with you? You didn't say it listens to your orders, did you? I just want to take a look at the dragon's appearance."
"Alright then. Colonel Sri, you can remove the barrier now. I guarantee that the dragon won't harm anyone, but don't let the soldiers get too close to it."
"Generals, take control of your soldiers immediately! They're all gathered here like this, isn't it laughable? Where has your usual strict military discipline gone? Elder, rest assured that the Bright Tiger Army has always been strict with discipline. They absolutely won't provoke your dragon. Elder, look, can't I also go with you to take a look?" Xifei's expression was almost the same as Rike's - who wouldn't want to get close to this legendary creature?
Ah-Dai looked at Xifei with a thirsty expression and nodded: "Okay."
"The rock grunted and said, 'Now everyone comes to pretend to be a good person. When they suspected us at first, they became turtles with their heads shrunk in.' He wouldn't be fooled by Xiphil's few words like a simple Ah-Dai, without the highest commander's order, who dared to suspect the Magic Guild elder who wore the Ordo's token."
Xī Fēi ěr had been a soldier for so many years, and he had already developed extremely good psychological quality. As if he hadn't heard anything, he followed Rick and accompanied Ah Dāi into the boundary together.
A'Doh walked up to Saint Evil's side, patted his big head, and said in a spoiled tone: "Big lazy worm, you're not sleeping, are you? Hurry up and eat something, we need to go back after eating." Saint Evil opened his eyes, saw two strangers beside A'Doh, and immediately stood up. His golden eyes flashed with cold light, and his body emitted an intense aura. The sight of him scared Xifel and Rick, although they both had considerable skills, but who could guarantee that they could contend with such a massive dragon?
Ah-Dai saw Sheng Xie's unfriendly appearance and hastily said: "Little Xie, don't get angry, they are friends who came to bring you food."
Seiya seemed to have not heard A's words and suddenly pounced on Rike. A just wanted to stop it, but found that Seiya didn't seem to have any malicious intent. Seiya's speed was honed from climbing mountains with A, and the sudden burst made Rike unable to block in time. His body retreated backward, only to find Seiya's massive dragon mouth right in front of him. Closing his eyes, he thought: It's over, it's over, curiosity kills. His hand felt light, and there was no pain on his body. Opening his eyes, he saw that the tray in his hand had been snatched away by the dragon. Seiya put the tray on the ground, lay down before it, and started eating beautifully. In a short while, everything on the tray except for one dried fish was swept clean by Seiya. Seiya used its front claws to hold onto the dried fish, flapped its wings lightly, and flew back in front of Rike. It stood up straight with its hind legs supporting its body, blinked at Rike, patted Rike's head with another front claw, pointed at the dried fish in its hand, and finally tossed it into its mouth, savoring the delicious taste. The second commander-in-chief Rike was completely stunned.
Xī Fēi ěr looked at Lǐ Kè being patted on the head by that dragon, looking like a little kid, and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, this dragon is so clever! He's telling you that he loves to eat dried fish, asking you to get some more for him."
Hearing Xī Fēi ěr's voice, Lǐ Kè finally came back to his senses from his daze, looking at Shèng Xié who had already crawled back beside ā Dāi, and muttered: "Wow, you scared me to death!"
"Sorry, I'm really sorry for causing you all so much trouble."
"Never mind, never mind," said Xi Fei hurriedly, "I'll have someone bring some dried fish over right away."
Sheng Xie ate thirty kilograms of dried fish, and only then did he return to Shen Long's Blood with a satisfied expression. He was very friendly to Xi Fei Er and Li Ke, who had provided him with the dried fish, even proactively rubbing his head against them, making Xi Fei Er and Li Ke extremely happy, reluctant to part with Sheng Xie when he returned to Shen Long's Blood.
A'Diao was able to conquer the entire Radiant Tiger Army with just his appearance as a Saint Evil, and everyone admired him for being able to summon dragons. Xifei ordered a grand feast to be prepared to entertain A'Diao and his two companions. A'Diao didn't want to accept their invitation at first, but Yan Li said that after being framed by them for half a day, they couldn't just leave without eating enough to make up for it. Less than two hours after the previous meal, they were greeted with another sumptuous feast.
