Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 155 Naval Battle City

"But fortunately, Yi Qiu is a very smart man. He soon realized our thoughts. After he realized it, we thought he would leave us soon, but he didn't leave. He chose to steal the Ninghua Evil Pearl, and then took the extremely terrifying evil pearl far away from us. At that time, we even hunted him down because we thought he wanted to keep the treasure for himself, which made us very, very angry. He had been forced into a desperate situation by us, but for some reason he disappeared. After that, we never saw Yi Qiu again. In the days that followed, our minds gradually became clear. Your mother Masako also blamed herself for this incident and passed away early due to being overwhelmed. Masako and I don't want to mention this matter, but we don't know how to repay the guilt we feel towards Yi Qiu." said Mochizuki Mingjian.

Many years have passed, and he has grown from a young man into an old man, but what happened in the past is still vivid in his mind. Now when he thinks back on it, his eyes can't help but become moist.

"So you are so caring towards my eldest brother Tsuruta?" Mochizuki Chisaki said.

Mochizuki Mingjian nodded, then took a deep breath and said, "Yes, all we can do is take care of his child, but we woke up too late, and our resentment was even vented on his child, which made Tsuruta suffer a lot when he was a child. At that time, Masako hated him even more... When Masako understood Yiqiu's sacrifice and suffering, Tsuruta had already grown up and thought that our kindness to him was all false and he didn't need it at all."

“Tsuruta…” Mochizuki Chiaki’s nose began to feel sore when she thought about what happened to her elder brother.

"As for Tsuruta's matter, I will find a way to rescue him from General Takagi later. But Takagi must not know about this Condensed Pearl, because Takagi is too greedy. Once the pearl falls into his hands, the consequences will be disastrous." said the old man with the famous sword.

Suddenly Lin Ran received feedback from the Dark Wolf. The Dark Wolf stated that it had absorbed the power of the Condensation Pearl, but the resentment was still left in the pearl. It stated that other wolves might be controlled if they came into contact with it, so it planned to send it to Lin Ran to see if there was any way to solve it.

Lin Ran was unhappy for a moment. You absorbed the power and then left the trouble to yourself?

But Lin Ran couldn't just ignore it, he opened the summoning door, and then the Dark Wolf came out. It opened its mouth and spit out a bead. It seemed to notice that Lin Ran was unhappy, so the Dark Wolf quickly ran away.

Lin Ran picked up the beads, wiped them with paper and said, "I'll give this back to you."

Mochizuki Mingjian and Mochizuki Qianxun instantly assumed a fighting stance and looked at Lin Ran, because they were worried that Lin Ran would be controlled.

Lin Ran had no choice but to start proving that he was not affected.

It took a long time for Wangyue and the other person to accept that Lin Ran was not affected.

"This Condensed Evil Pearl is a very ominous thing. To be honest, I won't feel at ease even if you hand it to my people. I know your team will be heading to Tokyo soon, so I hope you can hand the Condensed Evil Pearl to an old friend of mine in Tokyo. He is the only one who can purify the resentment in the evil pearl." Mochizuki Mingjian said.

"Agree to it reluctantly. Since I'm the beneficiary, it's my duty to help you." Lin Ran said.

General Takagi is now in charge of the West Guard Pavilion. The Condensed Evil Pearl will be obtained by him sooner or later. If he gets it, the consequences will be even more serious. Therefore, Mochizuki Mingjian hopes to send the pearl away, and the farther the better!

"Is there really no problem with your summoned beast? You know, the Condensed Evil Pearl is very evil. I'm a little worried that there will be problems with your wolf." Wangyue Mingjian said.

Lin Ran opened the summoning door again, and then the dark wolf came out. It looked proudly at Wangyue Mingjian and Wangyue Qianxun.

The Dark Wolf is the king of darkness, how could he be easily influenced?
Mochizuki Mingjian and Mochizuki Chixun carefully looked at the Dark Wolf for a while before saying, "Its aura is even stronger than Takagi's Tianling Beast..."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly. How could a mere Tianling beast compare to a dark wolf?
After a long while, Wangyue Mingjian said, "I was not affected. It's unbelievable..."

"Teacher, isn't it a bit too much to ask him to escort the beads..." said Mochizuki Chixun.

"Lin Ran, like Yi Qiu, is one of the few people who can stay sober under the bewitching influence of this Condensed Evil Pearl, so he is very suitable. I will not tell anyone that Lin Ran is escorting the Evil Pearl this time. Similarly, Lin Ran, you must never mention it to your teammates. The Evil Pearl wrapped in silver gauze is no different from an ordinary bead. As long as you arrive in Tokyo and hand the thing over to my old friend, you will get some rewards." said the old man Mingjian.

Lin Ran nodded. It was really nice to get extra rewards.

"Before General Takagi, my old friend controlled everything in Tosho-kaku. I think he is the person in the world who knows the whereabouts of the Red Devil best. He has been fighting against the previous generation of Red Devil so far. You said your friend wants to know about the Red Devil, so you should ask him..." said the old man with the famous sword.

"Since you said so, let me deliver the bead." Lin Ran nodded.

"And Chisaki will go with you as well." Mingjian said.

"Me?" Mochizuki Chisaki was stunned for a moment.

It's not appropriate to let her, a teacher from an island country, follow the Chinese government team to Tokyo. For what reason and in what capacity?
"Chishun, leave the matter of Tsuruta to me. You and Lin Ran send this bead away, and I believe Tsuruta will return to his original state afterwards. Of course, Takagi would not have detained him for such a long time for no reason." said the old man with the famous sword.

……

Mochizuki Chixun and Lin Ran were walking on the path, one in front and the other behind, with Mochizuki Chixun in front and Lin Ran behind.

"Thank you for today." The arrogant and violent Mochizuki Chixun became gentle rarely.

"Ah? Nothing, after all, I got something good." Today, not only did he see her perfect body, but he also gave the Dark Wolf a chance to advance. To be honest, he would be happy even in his dreams at night.

Mochizuki Chixun suddenly stopped, she turned around and looked down at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran couldn't quite see Mochizuki Chixun's expression, but according to the plot development, was she going to give him a sweet goodnight kiss?

Lin Ran felt his heart aroused.

Mochizuki Chixun said, "Close your eyes." She looked shy at this moment, just like a little girl.

Lin Ran quickly closed his eyes, and the next second, Mochizuki Qianxun took off her shoes, then raised her foot and stepped on Lin Ran's face. She suddenly pushed Lin Ran down the stairs.

Lin Ran quickly regained his composure, but Mochizuki Chixun had already left with a sweet smile.

You've been fooled, you scheming woman.

……

The journey was tiring, and most people were very tired. Of course, some people were not tired, such as Lin Ran, who was holding Mochizuki Qianxun's palm and saying something about palm reading. "When we get to Tokyo, I will continue to take you to fun places." Jiang Shaoxu saw that everyone was a little listless, so he spoke.

"Jiang Shaoxu, after we reach Tokyo this time, we must go to Naval City immediately." At this time, Ai Jiangtu immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Why rush? It won't matter if we postpone it for a day or two." Jiang Shaoxu said in a gentle voice.

Unfortunately, Ai Jiangtu didn't buy her trick at all, and also told everyone by the way: "When we come to Japan, the Sea War City is our destination. Our first training will also be carried out in the Sea War City. By the way, it is worth mentioning that during the training of the national government students of various countries, each country will jointly pay a batch of resources to the Magic Association, and then provide them to all the national government teams that are training around the world. As for how to distribute these resources, it depends on the performance of each team in the training place."

"Even if that's the case, there's no need for us to be so active." Jiang Shaoxu said casually.

"There should be many people in our team who have not yet become high-level mages. Our experience in Japan this time is related to your chances of being promoted to high-level mages. If you don't want it, you can go to downtown Tokyo and have a good time." Ai Jiangtu said mercilessly.

“Advancing to a higher rank… this is a huge resource!! What good stuff will it bring?” Zhao Manyan said with shining eyes.

“Master Zhao, don’t have any extravagant hopes, because even if we get this resource, it won’t be your turn as a substitute, of course, this also includes Mo Fan and Lin Ran.” Mu Tingying laughed.

Zhao Manyan was indignant and asked Ai Jiangtu.

Ai Jiangtu nodded and said, "Resources will indeed not be allocated to substitutes."

"Fuck! They don't even consider us as human beings!"

"Being able to train with us is already the greatest blessing for a person like you who is a drag. You have no talent, no cultivation, and no high spiritual seed..." Guan Yu said sarcastically at this time.

“Damn it, you talk as if you’re a high-level mage. Aren’t you just a mid-level scum like me?” Zhao Manyan pointed at Guan Yu and cursed.

"Ahem... ahem. Actually, there are many mid-level players in the team." Jiang Yu coughed.

"Sorry, sorry." Zhao Manyan said awkwardly.

Ai Jiangtu would naturally not deceive his teammates, and resources would indeed not be allocated to substitutes. This was stated before when the Guofu team was formed.

In fact, if Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and Lin Ran perform very badly during this trip to Japan, they may be replaced at any time by Chinese members who perform well in defending the stadium.

Substitutes are substitutes after all. If they want to be treated very differently from regular members,

However, the possibility of Lin Ran and Mo Fan being replaced is relatively small. After all, they are both high-level mages. What's more, Lin Ran is the one with the highest combat power. The reason why he was arranged as a substitute is probably to teach him a lesson to prevent Lin Ran from doing something shocking.

……

After arriving in Tokyo, everyone was spurred by high-level resources, so they did not make any stops in Tokyo and went straight to the Naval City.

The Sea Battle City is a city with a special war culture. This East China Sea city in the island country of Tokyo has been famous in the world for a long time. It has also used blood and limbs to draw a real war between humans and sirens in the Pacific Ocean, which has been going on for hundreds of years!
As the island country of Tokyo extends towards the ocean, a huge fortress city built on the seashore gradually appears. This is the Naval Castle.

Looking down from the sky, this East China Sea fortress city looks like a crescent. The raised steel walls can no longer be called walls, but rather a magnificent dam that perfectly protects the prosperous city of Tokyo. It not only resists the surging waves, but also blocks the endless army of sea monsters. It is also called the Shield of Tokyo by the islanders.

The Tokyo Shield is divided into two layers. The height of the steel dam in the front is lower, so its blocking effect is not obvious.

However, the dam at the back is high, and even a hundred-meter-tall sea beast cannot cross this steel defense line.

The two steel dams in front and behind are in an inward arc, and the two ends gradually converge and close together, forming a crescent-shaped East China Sea Fortress City.

"This Donghai City looks very new." Jiang Yu said.

"Yes, except that the stone materials are a little different from other places, it doesn't look much different from other cities. The streets are also square." Jiang Shaoxu said.

"This is one of the four largest naval cities in the world, but it doesn't seem to be anything special. It's just closer to the ocean." Mu Tingying said.

“Let’s go report in first.” Nan Jue walked in front and seemed to be quite familiar with the place.

……

"Where is Lin Ran?" Guan Yu spoke at this time. He did not see Lin Ran, Mochizuki Qianxun, and even Mo Fan was not here.

"They left." Zhao Manyan yawned. To be honest, he envied Lin Ran and Mo Fan's confidence. Most people would not dare to leave the National Government Team, but these two did not care at all, as if they were not afraid of being kicked out of the team.

“Huh~, this is unbelievable. If we report this to the instructors, we don’t know if they will be kicked out of the team.” Mu Tingying said at this time.

"Have any of you become high-level mages?" Ai Jiangtu spoke at this time. Lin Ran and Mo Fan were confident because they were already high-level mages. As long as they were strong enough, it would be okay even if they were a little willful. After all, this world measures your value by your strength. In the eyes of the mentors, although Lin Ran and Mo Fan were a little "naughty", their value was still there. A gem covered with a layer of dust was much more valuable than iron ore. As long as the mentors were not idiots, they would naturally ignore the little dust on Lin Ran and Mo Fan.

After hearing what Ai Jiangtu said, everyone was silent for a while.

At this time, Guan Yu said, "Isn't it just a high level? I will break through soon."

"You can break through, but others can't? They don't have any resources but they can become high-level mages before you. Think about it carefully." Ai Jiangtu continued.
