Archmage: God-level Modification System - Chapter 27
Chapter 27: The Vicious Mystic Fire Guild
When Mystic Fire Guild sent out the notice, the entire East Continent was in an uproar.
However, there was no news from Ronald the next day, which confused the people.
“What’s going on? Logically speaking, this news has already spread throughout the entire East Continent. Ronald should have received it.”
“Yeah, but why isn’t there any reply from him?”
“I don’t know. Maybe he hasn’t heard it yet. We’ll see in a couple of days.”
“…”
Everyone started discussing.
On the third day, there was still no reply from Ronald. In fact, there were no announcements from Mystic Fire Guild.
This made some people have some guesses, but they could not confirm it.
On the fourth day.
On the fifth day.
…
In the blink of an eye, about 10 days had passed since Mystic Fire Guild issued the notice.
In these 10 days, there was no news about Ronald in the East Continent.
Similarly, Mystic Fire Guild did not send out any notice regarding Ronald agreeing to become one of Mystic Fire’s Seven Disciples.
This made everyone certain of one thing. That was, Ronald refused to become one of them!
That’s right! Otherwise, there would definitely be a reply in 10 days. However, there was no response from Ronald. It could only be said that he did not have the intention to become one of the Seven Disciples of Mystic Fire Guild.
This caused many other guilds to rise and mock Mystic Fire Guild.
“Mystic Fire Guild is a bunch of trash. They actually want Ronald to become one of the Seven Disciples? This time, they’re slapping themselves in the face. Ronald didn’t respond. I want to see what the Mystic Fire Guild is gonna do.”
“That’s right. Previously, they announced the news with such great fanfare. Now, there’s no response from Ronald. This means that Ronald has no intention of becoming one of the Seven Disciples. What a joke.”
“These guys from Mystic Fire Guild have nothing better to do. I’m dying of laughter.”
“…”
Some of the local guilds that had long disliked Mystic Fire Guild had already started to mock them.
Word after word spread throughout the East Continent. Countless people were certain that Ronald had no intention of becoming one of the Seven Disciples.
Otherwise, even if Ronald were in other continents, he would be able to send news back in 10 days. However, during these 10 days, there was no such news at all.
At this moment, within the guild office of Mystic Fire Guild, Jace, the guild master, was frowning. He was very clear about the rumors that had been circulating recently.
He had to admit that it had been a reckless thing for him to send out an invitation and invite Ronald to become one of the Seven Disciples. However, almost no one had thought that Ronald would refuse at the time, which had overlooked the problem.
Right now, Mystic Fire Guild was in an extremely awkward situation. With Ronald not responding, Mystic Fire Guild and even the East Continent’s royal family lost all reputation.
The huge East Continent actually could not even invite a deserter to be one of the Seven Disciples. It was no wonder that they were mocked by many smaller forces.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Jace took a deep breath to calm himself down.
A soldier walked in and reported, “Guild Leader, the smaller forces in other areas have been getting more and more out of hand recently. Many people from the subsidiaries have sent back news that the smaller forces are attacking the East Continent’s garrison without fear. They’re not worried that it will cause a reaction from our nation-protecting-guild, Mystic Fire.”
“Damn it!” Jace’s face gradually darkened. The prestige of Mystic Fire Guild and even the East Continent was constantly being attacked, which made the pressure in his heart very heavy.
The invitation to become one of the Seven Disciples had caused an uproar. However, the final result was a heavy slap to the face to Mystic Fire Guild.
They did not expect that Ronald had no intention of becoming one of the Seven Disciples at all.
It was clear that Ronald had done nothing evil other than injure his son. In Jace’s opinion, that was something to be made of. But the man had refused to become one of the Seven Disciples, and that confused him.
Could it be that he wants to establish a force of his own?
Jace thought as his expression gradually turned solemn. Apart from this thought, he could not think of any other reason why Ronald had refused his invitation.
However, these things could no longer be made up for. The smaller forces in the East Continent were so rampant because of the influence of the East Continent’s Protector Guild, Mystic Fire, being constantly slapped in the face by Ronald.
The prestige of Mystic Fire Guild was continuously damaged, and many local forces treated them as if they were nothing. In the past, there would never be a local force that openly attacked the important zones of the country. But now, there were already many of them that were so arrogant as to rashly attack!
“Pass my notice.” Jace narrowed his eyes and said, “Since Ronald has no intention of becoming the Seven Disciples of Mystic Fire Guild, raise his bounty to 500 million.”
“Furthermore, notify everyone in the East Continent that anyone who can take him down will be given the position of the Seven Disciples. We will not go back on our words!”
This was the time for Mystic Fire Guild to regain its prestige!
If they could successfully eliminate Ronald, the authority of Mystic Fire Guild would naturally return.
However, Ronald did not believe that any local forces could destroy him.
However, this was also an effective way for Mystic Fire Guild to make up for their prestige. Mystic Fire Guild didn’t need to expend a single soldier to make the local forces kill each other, so why not?
This could even make up for the loss of Mystic Fire Guild for no reason. The recent loss of prestige could be said to be beneficial without any harm.
Next, it would be the internal conflicts between the local forces, which had nothing to do with Mystic Fire Guild.
If there really was someone who could destroy Ronald, Mystic Fire Guild would bestow upon that person the title of the Seven Disciples. That was all. There was no loss at all.
And Jace could sit this one out and reap the spoils later.
