Water and Fire Twins Magician

Seven days had passed since Yusfor and Konder had entered the snow cave.

That day, Jacques had just finished giving Fei'er a massage and returned to the snow cave where cold currents were as numerous as stars.

"Okay! I just broke through the fifty mark yesterday. Today I want to add another twenty and absorb seventy balls of nether fire!" Jacques did some stretching exercises and was about to start practicing in high spirits, but suddenly he found that the super-large ice core in the center of the snow cave seemed to be in an unusual state.

I saw that the ice core was slowly and repeatedly flashing a blood-red light, and there was a faint smell of blood.

The unknown object imprisoned in the ice core seemed to be producing a strange feeling, like the excitement and hunger of a hunter who discovered fat prey.

This is murderous intent.

However, Jacques was not afraid at all, because he knew that the murderous intent was not directed at him.

He stared at the ice core and thought for a moment, then Paul and Meister came to his side, both of them showing serious and excited expressions:

"The Trojan Federation snipers are coming."

After receiving the oracle from the goddess, it took seven days for the snipers sent by the Principality of Dro to finally find their target. This efficiency was unacceptable for the Principality of Dro, whose national strength was at its peak. In fact, Marshal Maren, who was in charge of this matter, had never thought that it would take so long as seven days, so that he was ridiculed, mocked and even impeached by his political opponent, Prime Minister Quinton, and almost lost his position.

The first and most important part of this mission is to retrieve the clean crystal that is said to record the appearance of the two target persons. But the oracle only said the approximate location of the crystal, which is located in the border area between the Principality of Dro and the Principality of Lubo, without a specific location. The border area between the two countries stretches for dozens of kilometers, and there are constant wars. Looking for a small crystal here? It is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Marshal Maren happens to be the supreme commander of this war zone. The army under his command has strict military discipline, and the intelligence system is even more pervasive. He has full control over all the major and minor events on the front line.

Sure enough, within a day, Marshal Maren discovered the whereabouts of the Purifying Crystal. It was said that the Crystal was in the hands of a veteran soldier from his country, who claimed that he had personal contact with the two target persons and was hunted by them but survived, but only half of his life was left.

Youssef certainly knew the value of the crystal in his hand. He was worried that Marshal Maren would kill him and take the crystal, so he negotiated with Maren's men through an intermediary. In order to gain the highest bargaining chip, he never mentioned any information about the two target persons.

Malen was under the control of others and had no good ideas, so he had to patiently negotiate with Yousef and agreed to most of the other party's demands.

When the terms were agreed and they agreed to meet for the transaction, news came that Yusfo was kidnapped by the Principality of Lubo. Maren was shocked and angry, and quickly mobilized all the strong men in his hands to fight a fierce battle with the Principality of Lubo. Although he won in the end, Yusfo had already become a corpse.

After a delay of seven days, I finally got this small piece of cleansing crystal.

Ma Lun held it between his fingertips, feeling mixed emotions: "I was tortured by the veterans I trained for seven days, wasting so much manpower and resources. Did I teach them too well? I have to be careful when recruiting new soldiers in the future, so as not to train such treacherous soldiers.

Maren shook his head, eager to know the detailed information about the two target persons. He input his magic power into the cleansing crystal and read the video data recorded in it.

Upon seeing this, his face suddenly turned ashen.

"These two guys who appear and disappear like ghosts...their expressions of ease...are at least eighth or ninth level super masters, or maybe they are from the Holy Domain who are hiding their strength..." Maren fell into deep thought. When did these two Holy Domain masters whom he didn't know appear in the Rose Alliance?

"Could they be mercenaries hired by some country? But it's impossible that I can't get any information?"

Maren looked at the image in the crystal again, and this time he made another surprising discovery.

"...That fat guy, why does he look familiar? Is that the robe he's wearing... the holy robe of the Church of Light?"

Mullen returned to his staff room with a heavy heart, closed the doors and windows, and then shared what he had just seen with his confidants.

"This guy is ninety-nine percent likely to be Paul, the cardinal of the Church of Light! He has hit a wall now." Maren paced back and forth with his hands folded, looking very uneasy.

It was all his fault that he was too eager to make a contribution and took the responsibility without knowing who the other party was. The Church of Light was one of the three major forces in the Love Continent, and the other party was a cardinal. In the eyes of the other party, he was probably just a small fish. This mission was not something that a so-called marshal of a small country like him could accomplish. He had forced himself into a dead end.

But the reason Mullen could get to where he is today was that he was not only good at leading troops in battle, but also had certain political skills, otherwise he would not have been considered an opponent by the Prime Minister. After much thought, he finally came up with a solution.

So, Maren came before Grand Duke Dro with the crime of delaying the goddess' oracle. Prime Minister Quinton could hardly hide the smile in his eyes, and all kinds of unpleasant words were sprayed on Maren's head as if he didn't need to think about it.

“Please give me a chance to redeem myself!” Maren said in remorse and pain, “I know exactly where those two are hiding. They are just two fifth-level… no, fourth-level magicians at most. They just happened to pass by and accidentally kicked the statue of Goddess Helen. We can strangle these two ants to death with one hand! Please believe me, I will complete the task perfectly this time!”

Just a fourth- and fifth-level magician? As soon as these words came out, Quinton's eyes flashed, and he thought of a plan: "Lord Maren, the most urgent task is to reflect on the reasons for the failure of the mission, review whether the military intelligence system is flawed, and whether the ability of your subordinates is as high as you say. More importantly, as a marshal, you must carefully examine your attitude and see if you have underestimated your opponent, so that you were delayed by a small soldier and neglected the goddess. I really can't imagine what would happen if our opponent this time was the Principality of Lubo, or even one of the three major countries! Lord Maren, you should think carefully and take a rest. I think this mission should be handed over to other trustworthy ministers." After saying that, he stood in front of Maren with a smug look and smiled at Grand Duke Dro.

Grand Duke De Luo nodded and said, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Maren, you should reflect on your mistakes and make sure you don't make them again. Quinton, I'll leave this matter to you."

Quinton was ecstatic. He felt so happy that he got the upper hand over Maren who had fallen into trouble.

Mullen, still kneeling on the ground, had an expression of regret and unwillingness on his face, which was in stark contrast to Quinton, who was standing beside him with a smug look on his face.
