Chapter 183: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Chapter 183 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Lyle!

The person who handed the blood sacrifice ritual to the nobleman was actually Lyle.

Li Wei was also deeply surprised in his heart.

Lyle was Allen's apprentice.

Once, Li Wei had fought him and even saved his life.

Li Wei couldn't help but ponder deeply if Allen knew Lyle obtained the blood sacrifice ritual and spread it everywhere.

This question was extremely critical.

"The situation seems to be getting serious."

"Lyle, why did you do this?"

In the dim room, red light flickered on, illuminating Lyle's cold face.

"Li Wei, I will definitely become stronger than you!"

He had just received power brought by a subordinate's sacrifice.

Feeling the increasingly powerful strength within his body.

A smile appeared on Lyle's cold face, looking somewhat terrifying.

"Heh heh, genius?"

"I will make everyone know who the true genius really is!"

Li Wei brought the nobleman back to the Mage Tower.

After receiving a gold coin as reward, the guide left full of joy.

"Thank you, Mage Lord, thank you, Mage Lord."

Li Wei looked at Rota, who was now responsible for interrogating the Evil God cultists brought back.

"How will this person be handled?" Li Wei asked.

Rota said, "Depends on the situation, might be locked in the dungeon, or might be executed directly."

"No need to keep pity for Evil God cultists, the evil deeds they've done are far more than you imagine."

Li Wei nodded, "I know."

He had seen what the man did using supernatural power in his dreams.

Once bullied by others, after gaining power, naturally would bully back.

Bullying back with increased intensity.

The evil deeds among them were not fit for outsiders to hear.

"I'm leaving."

Li Wei said, turning around ready to leave.

Rota hurriedly called out to him, "Where are you going? I have a few more messages here, do you want them?"

Li Wei shook his head saying, "No need, I have clues."

The magic badge vibrated, adding 15 points of contribution on it.

The reward for catching people is indeed high.

This makes money much faster than doing normal quests.

Li Wei just walked out of the Mage Tower when he saw Lilyia outside looking gloomy.

"Why are you here?" Li Wei asked.

Lilyia saw him and immediately ran over.

"Mage Martin let me sneak into the City Lord's Mansion to find Evil God cultists."

"This is too dangerous, I can't fight, what if I encounter Evil God cultists?"

Lilyia looked distressed.

Li Wei gave her an idea.

"Just state your purpose directly and sit in the City Lord's Mansion for a day, come back at night and say you didn't find anything."

Lilyia looked at Li Wei, eyes wide, asking, "Will this work?"

"Go ahead, definitely possible, the City Lord's Mansion will treat you well with good food and drink."

Li Wei said intentionally.

Lilyia hesitated for a moment, nodded hard saying, "Mm, okay."

"I'll go right away."

Turning around and walking a few steps, she turned back to look at Li Wei.

Her hand fumbled in her pocket for a moment.

In the end, her hands came out empty.

"What?" Li Wei asked looking at her.

Lilyia shook her head saying, "Nothing, I'm leaving."

She just wanted to exchange gold coins with Li Wei.

The gold coins she exchanged last time disappeared again.

Lilyia hesitated repeatedly, afraid they would drop again.

Dared not ask Li Wei to exchange gold coins anymore.

Li Wei turned and walked towards the Mage Association.

Although Allen was the chief instructor of the City Lord's Mansion Mage Instruction Group.

However, the group he brought from Nightfall City did not join the Mage Instruction Group.

This group all lived in the Mage Association.

Lyle should be there too.

Li Wei planned to go take a look.

Suddenly, a glimmer of golden light on the ground was dazzling.

Turning his head to look.

A shining golden coin lay on the ground.

The Shadow Servant picked up the coin and placed it in Li Wei's hand.

Li Wei held the coin against the sunlight, examined it for a moment, confirmed it was real.

"Lucky break, a promising start."

"Hehe."

Pocketing the gold coins, Li Wei walked towards the Mage Association.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mage Lyle, is he here?"

"May I ask who you are?" the attendant asked.

"My name is Li Wei."

Upon hearing this, the attendant stared at him with wide eyes, greatly surprised.

She had also heard of Li Wei's reputation.

Seeing this, she hurriedly said, "Mage Li Wei, please wait a moment, I will contact Mage Lyle."

"Mm, thank you for your trouble." Li Wei nodded.

"Mage Li Wei, please sit first."

The attendant poured him a cup of hot tea and treated him enthusiastically.

Li Wei sat inside the reception room of the Mage Association.

The attendant went to find Lyle.

Li Wei finished a cup of hot tea before the attendant returned.

"I apologize, Mage Lyle is not here right now; he went out this morning."

Li Wei stood up, "If he returns, please notify me."

"No trouble, no trouble, take care, Mage Li Wei."

The attendant escorted Li Wei to the entrance of the Mage Association.

Watching Li Wei's back disappear into the distance, excitement stirred within her heart.

"I didn't expect Mage Li Wei to be so young; he looks even younger than me."

Li Wei walked down the street, seeing adventurers coming and going hurriedly around him.

"Where did Lyle go?"

"Ah, right, how about I go test Mage Allen's waters first."

Li Wei turned and walked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Arriving at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he happened to meet Lilia lingering at the entrance.

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

Upon hearing this, Lilia turned to look at him and hurriedly ran over.

"I'm so scared, what if they discover I'm a fake?"

"What are you afraid of? Don't be afraid!"

"What fake? You are real, a genuine Lilith."

"Alright, come inside with me."

Coincidentally, Li Wei also didn't know under what pretext to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

"Halt, what are you two doing?"

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion stopped the two of them.

Li Wei showed his magic badge and said, "Maple City Mage Tower, Formal Mage Li Wei, request the City Lord's Mansion to cooperate in investigating the Black Cultist attack incident."

"Go away, go away, if you want to investigate go somewhere else, why come to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The guard's attitude was not friendly.

Li Wei looked at Lilia, and Lilia froze for a moment before reacting.

She took out the assistance decree issued by the City Lord's Mansion.

"City Lord Otsu has already ordered full cooperation with the Mage Tower to find the Black Cultists, do you wish to defy the City Lord's order?"

Li Wei said while looking at the two of them.

One person still wanted to say something, but the person beside him hurriedly pulled him back.

He smiled apologetically and said, "Please enter, two Mage Lords, since it is the City Lord's order, we will naturally cooperate fully."

"Please enter, please enter."

Li Wei and Lilia walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion was very large; without someone to lead the way, one might get lost.

Fortunately, after the two entered the door, they soon met the steward of the City Lord's Mansion.

The steward saw the two and hurriedly said, "Are the two Mage Lords here for investigation?"

Li Wei said, "She is here for investigation, I am here to find Mage Allen."

"May I ask who you are?"

Upon hearing this, the steward glanced at Li Wei and asked cautiously.

"My name is Li Wei."

Li Wei said.

Unknowingly, his name had begun to carry weight in Maple City as well.

Upon hearing this, the steward hurriedly said, "So it is Mage Li Wei, Mage Allen happens to be inside the City Lord's Mansion, please follow me."

He glanced at the maid beside him and said, "You take this Mage Lord to the guest room."

"Yes."

"Mage Lord, please follow me."
