Episode 3: The Beast Mountain Range Chapter 24: A Girl Named Alice (Next)

“Eh?”

Linley turned his head and frowned.

Karan immediately walked over and gratefully said, “My name is Karan, thank you very much for your help, if it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid that Alice would already be dead.”

The young girl named Alice also ran over at this time, she clearly still had palpitations in her heart, her panting chest kept rising and falling, only for those hazel eyes to stare curiously at Linley, “Thank you for saving my life, I’m Alice, my full name is Alice Duff, and I’m also an Earth System Magician.”

Linley’s gaze lingered on Alice for a moment.

It had to be said that Alice was very temperamental girl, that kind of endearing temperament was innate and didn’t need a voice, makeup, etc. to create it at all.

“Linley, in the midst of the Magical Beast Mountain Range when others are in danger, it seems as though you don’t usually make a move to save people, right, what today?”

Derinkelwalt’s derisive voice resounded in Linley’s mind, “Ah, I see, you must like this girl called Alice.”

Linley frowned.

“Grandpa Delin, in the past, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to save, but in the interior of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the magical beasts that other people encountered were, at the very least, several rank six magical beasts or rank seven magical beasts, and I was incapable of saving them. It’s not hard to kill a rank five magical beast, so I just saved it in passing.”

Linley immediately explained to Drinkwater.

Derinkelwalt laughed and said no more.

“My name is Tony, I don’t know what Lord Magician’s name is?”

Another teenager also spoke out.

Linley looked indifferently at this group of people, “How long have you guys been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?”

“The first day.”

Karan said helplessly, “We also didn’t expect to encounter a rank five magical beast on the first day we entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, what bad luck. According to the introduction in the books, the outer area should be for third and fourth level magical beasts. It shouldn’t be too dangerous for the four of us to come here.”

“Stupid.”

Linley said with a shake of his head.

The female archer named Nia immediately caught fire, “Hey, what’s so arrogant about you kid? Didn’t you just save Alice, what gives you the right to scold us?”

“Nia.”

Karan chided.

Linley, however, said directly, “I really admire your guts for venturing into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. At the same time, I also have to say that you guys are very lucky that you didn’t encounter any robbers on your way into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.”

“Robbers?”

Karan’s few people looked at each other, they indeed hadn’t encountered any robbers.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range stretched over ten thousand miles, and one could enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range from everywhere, so it was normal to not encounter any robbers.

“I’m telling you, if you don’t want to die, leave the Magic Beast Mountain Range immediately now.”

Linley said directly.

“Why? Could it be that there are a lot of level five magical beasts in the periphery of the Magical Beast Mountain Range?”

The teenager named Tony inquired suspiciously.

Linley said blandly, “In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, especially the outer portion of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the most dangerous thing isn’t the magical beasts, it’s the humans. The four of you, not only are you weak, but you also don’t have any experience. I believe that any greedy person would not let you go. I guess you guys just just entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range on the first day and weren’t discovered by others, otherwise the four of you would have been killed long ago.”

“The most dangerous ones are humans?”

The one called Karan frowned, but his face changed drastically a moment later.

Karan immediately said respectfully to Linley, “Lord Magician, we just entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range today, and we only know roughly about the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and we decided to come here privately this time. I hope that Lord Magician will be able to help us and leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range together.”

Linley couldn’t help but frown.

He didn’t like trouble, but if these five people encountered robbers on their way back, it would really be very dangerous.

“Lord Magician, please help.”

Alice pleaded as well.

Linley glanced at Alice, looking at Alice’s pleading eyes, and thinking of the scene where Alice was killed by the robbers, Linley’s heart softened and he nodded his head in agreement, “Alright then, I’m also going out on my way, so I’ll take you guys for a ride. But if I encounter robbers on the way back, I can only promise to help as much as I can, and if any of you get killed, I can’t do anything about it.”

Karan was overjoyed and immediately nodded his head, “We’d be very grateful if Lord Magician could help us.”

Linley nodded, and then directly continued on, while then turning his back on these four people, he directly said, “Follow me.”

The four Karan people immediately followed Linley, walking out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range under Linley’s protection, heading towards the city.

In the middle of the road back, Karan and the other four also knew Linley’s name, and that ‘Alice’, who was also an earth system magician, was even more adoring of Linley, Alice was also fifteen years old this year, and in the Weylin Magic Academy it was the first day of talent.

But even so, Alice had just reached fourth level magician this year. This kind of achievement, in Ernst College could only be considered medium.

The road stopped, and Linley, as well as Karan and Alice, began to eat, and the two of them, Linley and Alice, were sitting together.

“Big brother Linley, you’re just too powerful, you reached fifth level magician at the age of fourteen, I guess I’ll have to wait until I’m twenty.”

Alice looked adoringly at Linley.

“I’m nothing, our academy’s first genius, Dixie, was a rank four magician at the age of nine, and became a rank five magician at the age of twelve.”

Linley said casually, Linley didn’t say …… that he was still a rank four magician at thirteen, but at fourteen he was a rank five magician.

In just over a year, he had caught up with Dixie for three years.

“A fourth level magician at nine years old? I’m fifteen years old and I’ve only just become a fourth level magician. I’m still the academy’s first genius. Our Weylin Magic Academy is too far from your Ernst Academy.”

Alice exclaimed.

“Big brother Linley, I feel as though your Earth Surge Gun Formation is so powerful that it’s even more powerful than some of the fifth year cadets at our academy, why is that?”

Alice was also an Earth System Magician, and naturally discovered Linley’s difference.

Linley smiled bashfully, not only was it powerful, but the speed at which the Geomantic Gun Formation actually sprang up was extremely fast.

“Earth system magic, originally derived from the earth element ……”

Linley then explained for Alice, in fact, in terms of the knowledge of an earth system magician, Linley was even more refined than the teachers of the Ernst Academy, as he had a Saint Domain level teacher.

Alice tilted her head and looked at Linley, listening intently.

One spoke, one listened, and the two leaned closer and closer together. Linley was also completely immersed in the narration, and it was only when Linley finished part of the narration and took a break that he realized that the two of them were only a fist’s distance away from each other’s faces.

Linley’s heart was stunned, this was the first time he had ever been so close to a girl, especially so close looking at Alice’s hazel eyes, that tiny nose, even as Linley could feel the other person’s breath and smell the other person’s body’s scent.

“Big brother Linley, why aren’t you speaking?”

Alice inquired in confusion, but in just a moment Alice reacted, immediately pulling away from Linley while her face ‘brushed’ red, red like an apple.

Linley also made an effort to calm his mood, then stood up and turned to a few people, pretending as if nothing had happened, “Alright, everyone’s eaten their fill, now continue on your way, and try to arrive at the city early.”
