"Mr. Jiang Li, Ms. Ai Si, you came just in time!"

"Why are you suddenly using honorifics?"

"I think Mr. Jiang Li, who led us out of the man-made maze, is a very respectable person!"

Raul looked at Jiang Li with a look of admiration and worship, and then his face was filled with anger.

"Compared to that, that werewolf is too much!"

Werewolf?

Bert?

This is the first time I've seen Raul dare to call him that.

What's up with him?

"Mr. Jiang Li, do you know? When the bodies of Linie and the others were found, that werewolf actually said that they were all trash and useless, that they died because they were useless, and that they didn't deserve sympathy at all. He insulted them ruthlessly. Can he really be considered a companion after saying such things?"

Everyone was so angry that their teeth were itching.

That was what happened when Livilia returned to the artificial maze with reinforcements and discovered the bodies of Linie and the other three. When everyone was immersed in grief, only Bert was insulting the four dead people, as if he had no sympathy at all and did not regard them as companions at all.

Jiang Li frowned.

Did the werewolf really say that?

Unbelievable... Jiang Li knew that he was a tsundere, but he didn't expect him to say such words in front of everyone. Insulting his deceased companion in public was too much no matter what!

"what?"

The white-haired werewolf youth walked into the cafeteria.

"What's wrong with calling trash trash?"

Bathed in the angry and hateful gazes of many people, he raised his head and sneered.

"Did you really mean that?"

Jiang Li's eyes were fixed on him.

Ai Si also frowned deeply, with a hint of displeasure on her face.

Although they have been together for several years, Bert has always been unpopular among the clan. Now that Jiang Li and the others have stepped forward, Raul and others have criticized him.

"I'm usually very self-righteous!"

"Too willful and reckless!"

"You are not worthy of being our companion!"

Faced with these accusations, Bert said nothing, but just sneered.

Who wants to hang out with trash?

Jiang Li could even hear what he was thinking at the moment.

Because of this, he couldn't help but rub his temples.

Troubles are coming one after another.

The clan had just experienced grief and now faced the crisis of division.

This should be the time to gather everyone's strength, but why do we have to create trouble at this time?

"Okay, let's leave this matter to Finn. I believe he will handle it properly."

Jiang Li waved his hand to stop the crowd from denouncing him.

After bringing up Finn's name, everyone barely suppressed their anger, but still glared at Burt.

Chapter 416 "Battle in the Wilderness"

2023-06-01

"You guys are really going to cause me trouble."

In Finn's office in the north spire.

After several days of treatment, Finn's complexion had improved a lot, and he hardly looked weak at all. Tione, who had just taken a recovery medicine, was now asking him about his well-being, which made him secretly regret that he should have stayed in the hospital for two more days.

"Bert, I can't excuse you on this matter, or I'll incur public wrath. I don't want to cause widespread complaints at this time, as it will be detrimental to the next steps. I hope you understand this."

Finn also had a headache.

"You should temporarily leave the clan for the time being. I will send you a signal when it is appropriate to come back."

If this matter is not handled properly, it may really cause the family to split.

Jiang Li couldn't handle it, and neither could Finn.

As the leader of the clan, he cannot favor Bert, nor can he ignore the feelings of everyone.

So we can only deal with it calmly, drive Bert out for a while, and make plans after everyone's anger has subsided.

Bert left the office without saying a word.

Not long after, amid the angry shouts of Raul and his men, Bert left the Dusk Hall alone without even taking his luggage.

"Isn't this a bit dangerous?"

Seeing this, Tione showed some worry.

"If Bert completely turns away from the Loki clan and wants to convert, that wouldn't be a good thing for us, right?"

From a companion's perspective, this is not a very pleasant thing to say.

But it is a real trouble.

Bert is at least Level 6, which is a very strong combat force for the Loki clan. If he converts, it will undoubtedly be a loss for the entire clan.

"At least on this point, I don't think I need to worry."

Jiang Li suddenly spoke up at this time, "Even if he is looked down upon, he will not change his mind. He is a man who will take a spit and a nail. I think Bert is that kind of person."

"It's really unexpected that you would say something nice about him."

Livilia muttered this with her eyes drooping.

Among Loki's family, Jiang Li and Bert are well known to be at odds with each other.

"Although I don't have a good impression of him, I still have some confidence in him as a person."

Although Jiang Li said this, there was no smile on his face.

"Of course. I think he must be mentally ill to say something like that next to the bodies of Linie and the others."

Although I have confidence in him.

But his feelings towards Bert had never been much better.

Tiona, Ais, Tione and the others couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.

He is so arrogant that he said that to my face. His emotional intelligence must be negative, right?

"Let's put aside Bert's matter for now. Regarding the artificial maze Nossus—"

Finn smiled helplessly, then his expression became serious.

Hearing this hateful name, everyone's expressions became serious.

"Next, we will slow down our offensive operations and focus on gathering intelligence."

Finn interlaced his fingers, his voice gradually becoming lower.

"Most importantly, we must find the key to the maze!"

"The reason we failed this time is because we were too careless and fell into the enemy's trap, allowing them to use us as a trap. The key to all this is that the enemy can manipulate the maze at will!"

"Only by finding the key can we seize control of the maze and proceed to the second phase of the operation!"

Everyone nodded in unison.

The key to the maze is in the hands of only a handful of cadres. It is the red gem engraved with the letter D. Once you get it, you can control the door of the maze and reverse all disadvantages.

All subsequent actions will turn to collecting keys!

"Finn, I'm going to take some time off for the next operation."

When the meeting was about to end, Jiang Li suddenly stood up.

"Is there something important?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

Finn pondered for a moment, then nodded readily.

After all, he is a fifteen-year-old boy, younger than Lefiya.

This incident must have put a lot of pressure on him, so it would be good to let him take a break during this time.

…………

The south side of the city, the fifth district.

The sun had just jumped off the horizon and disappeared in the western sky, and the night hung in the starry sky from light to dark.

Standing in front of Jiang Li was a tall wall.

No, even though it is located in a bustling street where every inch of land is valuable, the wall can be described as a huge city wall.

There are no guards here, and the tall gate blocks all newcomers outside. However, there is an extremely solemn and murderous atmosphere lingering here, as if it is yelling at people not to come in, making people stay away. There is not a single pedestrian around.

"Boom boom boom!"

Jiang Li walked forward and knocked on the door.

Soon.

The door slowly opened to the left and right with a heavy sound.

Behind the gate, a lush green field appeared in front of his vision.

This is a field with white, yellow and other colorful flowers swaying in the wind, so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it is located in the center of the city. In the center of the field is a small hill, and on it is a luxurious mansion that can almost be called a palace.

Jiang Li raised his feet and stepped into the field that smelled of earth.

The door behind him closed with a clang.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Immediately afterwards, with the sounds of breaking through the air, figures jumped out from the sky and the shadows of obstacles and surrounded him.

Everyone pointed the tip of their weapons at him, releasing the same hostility.

"I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative!"

The leader was an orc.

Covered in black and silver fur, despite its small stature, it exudes an extraordinary presence.

"Now I'm treating you as a dangerous person who intends to start a top clan war without authorization and kill you. Lady Freya won't be able to say anything!"

He directed his harsh words at Jiang Li who was in the center of the encirclement, his eyes showing no sign of concealing his violent murderous intent.

"That's right!"

"Damn you little devil!"

"You actually monopolized that master's favor!"

"It's not a pity to die!"

Four little humans who looked almost identical, holding swords, hammers, guns, axes and other weapons, cast jealous looks at him.

On the other side, two elves with the same extraordinary aura, each holding a black magic sword and a white magic wand, with their eyes raised continuously, the hostility in their bodies became more and more intense, and they almost wanted to throw out the magic power.

"If it's possible, I'd welcome it!"
