Chapter 187: Generous Rewards

Chapter 187 Generous Rewards

Boom!

Flames engulfed the figures of Levi and Lyle.

Gu Ze halted his steps, revealing tension, his eyes full of worry.

The firelight dispersed.

One figure stood, one figure lay prone.

Gu Ze's heart tightened.

Seeing clearly that the standing person was Levi, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was nearly scared to death.

When seeing Lyle pounce at Levi, Gu Ze was extremely anxious.

At that moment, he even wished Lyle was attacking himself.

Fortunately, Levi was unharmed.

"Freeze Spell!"

Gu Ze cast the spell to freeze Lyle into an ice block, lest he rise again.

Levi smiled and said, "Teacher, it's fine, this time he's dead for good."

Gu Ze looked at Levi, asking with concern, "Are you okay? You scared me to death just now."

Levi shook his head and said, "I'm fine, let's see if anyone else is alive."

"Shadow Servant, drag all the corpses out."

The Shadow Servant ran towards the cave.

Levi squatted down, looking at Lyle.

Even with his face blown apart, one could see Lyle's face full of reluctance.

He did not understand either, why he possessed such powerful strength, yet still could not kill Levi.

Levi clearly looked very weak.

Until death, he did not figure out where the fireball falling from the sky came from.

Gu Ze glanced at the huge explosion crater, saying thankfully, "Luckily someone helped us, otherwise the two of us might not necessarily have defeated him."

Levi smiled, saying nothing.

After a while, the Shadow Servant moved all the corpses out.

All dead for good.

The corpses had all turned into charcoal.

Fortunately, there was the recording crystal, otherwise there would be no way to claim credit.

Clatter! Clatter!

A sound of hoofbeats came.

Levi and Gu Ze turned their heads to look.

The soldiers stationed in the Dark Valley had rushed over.

With such a huge commotion here, they could not possibly sit idly by.

After discovering the two, the leading commander paused for a moment.

Shortly after seeing the corpses all over the ground, his face changed immediately.

"Who are you people?"

The commander questioned loudly.

Levi showed his magic badge, saying, "Maple City Mage Tower, Formal Mage Levi, currently hunting Evil God cultists."

He pointed at the corpses on the ground, saying, "These are all Evil God cultists."

"Bullshit! That's my brother! You fucking killed my brother?"

Seeing that officer's corpse on the ground, the commander cursed loudly.

Levi showed the recording crystal.

The commander took one look, immediately falling silent.

He hurriedly said, "He turned out to be an Evil God cultist, and I still treated him as a brother, never expecting he hid so deep!"

"Lord Mage, please rest assured, we will absolutely cooperate with you in capturing Evil God cultists!"

Levi said, "Trouble you to notify Maple City, let them send people to transport the corpses back."

"Oh, there are many more corpses inside, you can clear them out."

"The people who disappeared within Maple City during this time, might all be inside."

The commander glanced at the cave, the corners of his mouth twitching.

He did not want to do this kind of thing.

What did the missing people of Maple City have to do with him?

That was the responsibility of Maple City's guard.

However, having already boasted beforehand, he was too embarrassed to refuse.

He hurriedly directed his subordinates to help clear the corpses inside the cave.

Actually, not many corpses were cleared out.

The dried corpses were basically all destroyed in the explosion.

Instead, some objects capable of proving the victims' identities were found.

The commander looked at a broken jade pendant, his face looking ugly.

That was the jade pendant he gave to his little lover.

It seemed his little lover had already met with misfortune. The commander's face darkened.

"Damn, truly fucking unlucky!"

Levi and Gu Ze waited a while, people sent by Maple City arrived, bringing the corpses back into Maple City for identification.

The two also followed the convoy back into the city.

Levi saw the commander following all the way, kindly saying, "You don't need to follow, it is very safe here with them."

The commander said with a dark face, "I'm going home to check."

He was still unwilling to accept it, wanting to go back and see if his little lover was truly dead.

Just arriving at the city gate, Levi saw Allen's figure.

Allen looked at the corpses on the carriage, searching for a long time before finding Lyle.

He let out a sigh.

"Alas..."

Levi walked to his side and asked, "You already know?"

Allen did not look at him.

Though Lyle was at fault, Levi was the killer of his apprentice.

As a teacher, Allen's feelings toward Levi were exceedingly complex.

He knew Levi had done no wrong.

But this was not what he had wished to see.

Allen said without turning his head: "I saw his strength improving too fast, and guessed he might be using some unorthodox methods."

"Yet I never expected he would actually go astray and do such a thing..."

Levi fell silent for a moment, then said, "There is one more question."

"Who gave Lyle the blood sacrifice ritual?"

Allen finally turned his head to look at him.

His eyes flickered as he asked, "You say there is someone behind Lyle?"

Levi nodded and said, "Mm."

"According to the intelligence I know, Lyle should have obtained the blood sacrifice ritual recently."

He had witnessed the transaction between Lyle and the worthless noble in his dreams.

At that time, Lyle had just obtained the blood sacrifice ritual.

The worthless noble was a tester he had chosen.

To test whether the blood sacrifice ritual was truly useful.

Only after confirming the effect of the blood sacrifice ritual did Lyle actively recruit others to help.

Allen pondered for a moment, looked down at Lyle, and said, "I will definitely find that person."

It was unclear whether he was speaking to Lyle or to Levi.

Lyle's corpse was taken away by Allen.

The other corpses were sent to the Mage Tower for inspection, and together with the recording crystals, thoroughly confirmed these people's actions as cultists of the Evil God.

All relevant personnel involved were also arrested by the City Lord's Manor.

The Jorsman family not only failed to rise, but instead fell completely because of this matter.

Implicated as cultists of the Evil God, even their noble title was stripped away.

Martin looked at Levi and Guze, saying, "What a pity, what you found were not Black Cultists, but Blood Cultists."

"But it still counts as a huge contribution."

"After discussion among the higher-ups of the Mage Tower, it was decided to grant each of you five hundred contribution points as a reward."

Both Levi and Guze showed smiles.

Simply counting heads, it was actually less than five hundred contribution points, only around three hundred something.

But considering this matter had a huge impact and involved much.

The Mage Tower gave an extra reward.

Anyway, the City Lord's Manor would reimburse some of it.

After all, this matter also involved nobles and the military.

Martin looked at Levi, smiled, and said: "The contribution points you earned are enough for you to use for a while; these times are unsettled, just stay within the Mage Tower to cultivate in peace."

He was also afraid Levi would encounter danger outside.

Previously, when assigning tasks to Levi, he had no reason to refuse.

After all, he could not stop Levi from earning contribution points.

Now, he could use this reason.

Levi nodded, "Mm, thank you for your concern, Mage Martin."

The two walked out of the fifth floor of the Mage Tower.

Guze took out his magic badge and said, "I did not contribute much to this matter, the intelligence was all gathered by you, three hundred contribution points are enough for me."

Levi hurriedly pressed down on his hand.

"Teacher, this is the result of our joint efforts."

"Furthermore, after you leave the Mage Tower, there will be many places where you need to use money."
