Chapter 87
"What do you think?" Anfey looked around . Besides two people who were watching over the orcs, everyone, including Hui Wei, gathered in the cave . Anfey talked about going to the Forest of Death again in front of everyone .
"Anfey, why do you have to go to such a dangerous place?" Christian smiled bitterly .
Anfey pointed at Riska with a finger but did not say anything . Everyone looked at Riska, which had made Riska quite confused . "Me? I did not say anything . I will follow Anfey and everyone else . You say where we go, and I will follow you . "
"I used to think Zubin could be a magister after Christian . Did you get any insight from Riska? Why do you think you will be sent out for training when you reach a certain level . It usually could trigger your potential at a very dangerous moment . This potential is a key to help you break through the bottleneck . Riska is a good example of it . If we continue to stay here, it would not necessarily guarantee our safety . They will find us sooner or later . What do we do then? I know it is hard to search for people in the forest, but what if they do find us?" Anfey continued his talk: "If we go to Forest of Death, it looks dangerous, but quite safe for us . The biggest threat would be gone . As long as we are careful and cautious, I think we can handle the dangers in the Forest of Death . In addition, if we stay here, our practice will be no different . Facing the dangers in the Forest of Death will allow us to improve at a much quicker pace . In my opinion, you all have decent understanding of magic . What you lack of is real battle experience . It’s time for us to practice it . "
Anfey’s talk made everybody quiet . Seven or eight of them were senior mages who had been experiencing difficulty moving to a higher level . With previous experience, regular practice would take them five to ten years, or even their whole lives, to break through the bottlenecks . Riska was a good example in front of them, which made their decisions difficult .
"I want to say something," Zubin interrupted .
"Go ahead," Anfey nodded .
"If these orcs can live in the Stone Forest in Forest of Death, so can we," Zubin said .
Zubin’s talk enlightened everyone . He was right . If those orcs with low power could live in the Forest of Death, why couldn’t they live there? If it was too dangerous in the Forest of Death, they could always retreat to the Stone Forest .
Anfey gave Zubin an appreciative look . "Zubin is right . Even if we cannot survive in the Forest of Death, as long as we can hold on there for a month, we still could come back at the next full moon . What else do we have to worry about?"
"Right!" Blavi nodded energetically . "It’s not that we could not come back ever again . What are we scared of?"
The atmosphere seemed to lighten up, and everyone was either conversing quietly or thinking quietly by themselves . The atmosphere did not seem as depressing as before .
"I have other concerns, but I would like to go with Anfey’s decision," Christian said slowly .
"How about you, Suzanna?" Anfey looked at Suzanna .
"I will follow you too," Suzanna said with a smile . Actually, Forest of Death was a perfect place for training for Suzanna . She was never against Anfey’s decision . She explained so much about Death of Forest to Anfey in order to remind him to make the decision carefully .
"Nuts! Nuts! You are going nuts!" Hui Wei lost himself and stood up . "What is wrong with staying in a safe place . I am telling you, you will regret when you see some of your group dead in the Forest of Death . "
"Don’t worry about it . If anyone dies, I am sure you would be the first one . This place is not safe for us . You know we are students of Saul . Have you ever considered why we came here?" Anfey sneered .
"Why?" Hui Wei asked .
"Because we killed a person . " Sanchez smiled . No one felt nervous any more when they recalled what happened . So what if he was the grandson of Phillip? They killed him but they were still alive .
"Killed whom?" Hui Wei asked .
"The only grandson of Grand Swordsman Phillip, the only direct heir of Phillip’s, Zeda," Sanchez answered .
Hui Wei felt helpless and could not help sitting down . Phillip’s hot temper was well-known . Now he understood why these people fled to Forest of Clarm, but the problem is he really did not want to go back to Forest of Death .
"Since everyone has agreed on it, we will get ready for the ritual offerings tonight . Today is exactly three days away from the full moon," Anfey said slowly .
"Shelter could only be started by orcs . Do you think they would help us do it?" Sante asked .
"I can be honest with them and let them know we are going to Forest of Death . Do you really think they want us to stay?" Anfey smiled . The treasure was not a secret any more . The greediness showed in the orcs’ eyes . Asking them to help with ritual offerings would not be a problem . They could even fight to control it . In their opinion, those treasures would be theirs if Anfey’s legion left .
"Do you have to go to the Forest of Death?" Hui Wei murmured .
