Chapter 1934: I Am Three Years Late, So I Came To Settle It Today
Mag returned home, and had a good, dreamless sleep.
The next morning, Mag woke up early as usual to prepare breakfast for everyone.
During breakfast, Mag said to Irina, “I went to look for Michael last night.”
Irina took a sip of the soybean milk, and said lightly, “I thought you went out to meet some little maidens behind my back.”
“How could that happen? I don’t dare to.” Mag cocked an eyebrow. It seemed that she knew about him going out.
“I’m still aware of that.” Irina nodded.
“…” Mag.
Irina looked at Mag, and continued, “Say it. Why did you go for a rendezvous with Michael late at night?”
“What rendezvous? That was a business meeting,” Mag corrected.
“Huh?”
“It’s regarding getting all the races to form a peace alliance. I drafted a contract for him to give Chaos City, goblins, dwarves, giant dragons, and the peaceful orcs with the Falk Tribe in the lead to sign. They will form an alliance that binds them together,” Mag carried on. “Furthermore, I am going to talk to Bruno of the forest trolls later to understand what the forest trolls are thinking.”
“This is much more reliable than a verbal promise, and will prevent them from going back on their word when the time comes.” Irina nodded before saying, “However, although Bruno looks honest, he is more conniving and sinister than anyone. I’m afraid you can’t get anything out of him.”
“Three years ago, I once had a duel date with Bruno, but it was delayed because of that incident. I feel it’s just right to restart it now. I think he will say certain things clearer in a battle.” There was a hint of coldness in Mag’s smile. “The forest trolls had reached out on that rainy night years ago and the ambush that Rodu targeted you some time back.”
“That’s great.” Irina looked at Mag with praise. “Should I go along with you?”
“One of us needs to take part in the peace negotiation, so you need to stay behind.” Mag shook his head lightly.
Because he needed to travel today, the restaurant would have to close. Mag prepared breakfast for Miya and the ladies before putting up the notice. He only left through the back door after waiting for them to arrive.
Mag brought Ah Zi a goat that he roasted early in the morning. They only set off after Ah Zi finished its meal.
The forest trolls’ territory was located in the southwest of the Norland Continent. The dense ancient forest was the place where they were born and the place where they loved to reside.
Ah Zi flew for about an hour before a vast forest appeared in Mag’s vision.
Trees that were over 100 meters tall could be seen everywhere, and ancient trees that were over hundreds of meters in height were standing among the countless trees like giants.
The humid climate caused the ancient trees to be covered by moss and all kinds of climbing vines. They looked really old.
Insects and birds were chirping incessantly, and one could see all kinds of magic beasts walking in the forest every now and then. The magic beasts looked larger than those found anywhere else. It seemed like even the animals here were made to fit the forest.
The forest trolls roamed everywhere, and even their leader Bruno didn’t have a designated residence. Mag had to try his luck in the vast forest if he wanted to look for him, or…
“Roar…”
A tragic animal call sounded from afar, and startled a flock of flying birds.
“There he is.” Mag’s eyes lit up.
Ah Zi got it, and flew towards the animal call.
Soon, a patch of fallen trees appeared in their vision. In the center of the mess, a forest troll 30-odd meters tall was kneeling on the neck of a chimpanzee, and pulling its arm off to put into his mouth.
That chimpanzee was also 10-odd meters tall, but it looked just like a little monkey in front of that forest troll. It couldn’t fight back at all, and could only struggle helplessly and watch itself get eaten.
Mag watched this scene from the air without any pity.
That magic beast called King Kong Ape wasn’t any kind animal. It was an extremely aggressive magic beast. If it had been a normal human being who’d met it today, the one that would’ve been played with and eaten would’ve been that human.
However, Mag also wasn’t so free to watch a forest troll eat his meal here. He got Ah Zi to lower its altitude, and release its awe-inspiring 10th-tier magic beast’s aura.
That forest troll sensed the terrifying aura from above, and looked up in fear.
That King Kong Ape also stopped screaming, and huddled on the ground in shivers. The absolute bloodline suppression from a 10th-tier magic beast made it unable to move.
Mag looked down at that forest troll from above, and coldly asked, “I am Alex. Where is Bruno?”
“Alex!” The fear in the forest troll’s eyes intensified. As a 6th-tier forest troll, he naturally knew Alex’s name. He wasn’t sure why Alex appeared here, or why he was looking for their chief, but he was sure that he would be killed on the spot if he refused to talk soon.
Alex didn’t even need to react. Just his famous purple-striped griffin alone could kill him easily.
The forest troll got up, pointed to the northeast, and said, “The chief is in the center of the forest. I don’t know his exact location.”
“Let’s go, Ah Zi.” Mag didn’t expect a forest troll who lived at the edge of the forest could help him find Bruno. He patted Ah Zi, and flew in the direction that the forest troll pointed out.
The forest got denser and denser, and trees hundreds of meters tall could be seen everywhere. Under the dense coverage was the eerie forest. Beast roars could be heard every now and then.
This was the forest trolls’ territory and also the magic beasts’ paradise. 10th-tier magic beasts were said to appear every now and then, and they were the forest trolls’ greatest natural enemies.
Mag sensed the aura of a few rather powerful magic beasts’ that were about the 8th-tier and 9th-tier. Magic beasts of such level weren’t easy to meet elsewhere.
Moreover, the forest trolls’ power increased as they got closer to the center.
“10th-tier.” Mag looked at the dense forest below, and suddenly made Ah Zi stop. He also stopped concealing his aura at the same time.
Three short breaths later, a 100-meter-tall forest troll pushed apart the trees and burst out, glaring at Mag with a pair of dark green eyes.
“Alex!”
That forest troll let out a shocked roar.
“Where’s Bruno?” Mag asked severely.
After a moment of panic, that forest troll quickly calmed down, and looked at Mag warily. “Alex, this is our forest trolls’ territory. What are you doing here? Why are you looking for our chief?”
“Bruno and I agreed to have a duel three years ago. I am three years late, so I came to settle it today,” Mag said loudly, his voice reverberating throughout the forest..
