The fear didn't last long, and two seconds later, the magic from the mage's hands corroded Hodder's entire body, turning him into a white skeleton.

"If you had not foolishly taken matters into your own hands after your defeat and tried to send your own men to find your prey in order to avoid my punishment," the mage said to the others, "but inform me at once, and I would not have been compelled to do something I did not want to do." His gaze slowly swept over the kneeling men, who were careful not to let their breathing be too heavy to attract the attention of their master, "Do you think you can hide the truth from me?"

He sighed softly, and if it weren't for his horrible appearance, people would have thought of him as a gentleman of good manners.

"Now go and gather your men," he ordered his servants, "let all the warriors be in a team of a hundred, with all the falcons and summoning coordinates, and search all the areas within a radius of two hundred kilometers." Tell my word to every savage who lives in this land, and anyone who can help me find my prey will be rewarded by me, and they will become kings of their own tribe. ”

The mage waved his hand lightly and turned to walk towards his throne. Behind him, the Chatulas, who had always been on their heads, seemed to sense their master's intentions, and they slowly rose from the ground, still bowing their heads, and retreated respectfully until they exited the door of the black-robed mage's room, and these untouchable figures of their own people fled the terrible place in a hurry like forgiven prisoners.

Karan's heart wasn't as calm as he was in front of his men.

Due to his noble origins, this exiled mage had never really looked down on these subordinates, and in his eyes, these rude, barbaric, and uneducated races were no different from those inferior animals, and every time he interacted with them, he only felt extremely disgusted. He would not hesitate to kill them all if he could—except for those exiles from the civilized world like him, who would be his most loyal followers since his comeback—but at least for now, as the only descendant of an ancient family, he had to rely on these barbarians in order to escape the hunt of those terrible enemies and to establish himself in this wasteland.

He knew the habits of these subordinates very well, and behind the fearless faces of the barbarians was hidden a reverence for all the incomprehensible mysteries, including nature, and it was by using this that he was able to successfully subdue their ancestors, and succeeded in constructing his mysterious and powerful image in the hearts of the barbarians of the age for hundreds of years. That didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted, and proper punishment and intimidation would do a good job, but excessive brutality would only provoke them to resist beyond their means, and over the years he had managed to strike a balance between force deterrence and limited tolerance, and a moderate degree of mystery.

However, he knew very well that no matter how successful his balance was, he would not be able to continue to have this life-and-death power over the barbarians and other subordinates for a maximum of two years - his body was extremely old, his strength was losing little by little, and it would not be long before his life would end, unless he could get what he wanted in the shortest possible time, and it was entirely up to him to complete the deal with Kail and capture those explorers.

"They can't escape," Karan said to himself in his heart, "the Chatula people are stupid, but they are undeniably very good at tracking and hunting, ten thousand people, plus their own domesticated falcons, and those small tribes that have been conquered, not even a small bird within a radius of five hundred kilometers can escape such a hunt." ”

This kind of thinking made the originally anxious Karan relax a lot, and a wave of exhaustion came over him at the same time, and as his strength gradually waned, as an old man of several hundred years, even with the help of magic, he still could not get rid of the effects of aging on his body. However, just as he was about to close his eyes and rest for a while after confirming the integrity of the magic traps around the room, a warning suddenly rose in his mind, and the mage opened his eyes suddenly, and looked around him in a large number of alert eyes, and the surging power immediately surged around him.

"Come out," he said calmly, looking at the air in front of him, "I think a mage who can break through the traps and come here will not hide in the shadows because he is afraid of an old thing like me." ”

The air in front of Karan's eyes rippled like ripples in the water as his words followed, and when the air calmed down again, Rhaegar appeared in front of his opponent with his invisibility removed.

"You're the mage of those explorers?" Karan didn't seem surprised, he still leaned back on his throne, like all old men in the upper grades and with declining physical strength, "It seems that I still underestimated your strength, but it doesn't matter, this mistake will be corrected soon." ”

A ray of light brighter than the sun appeared in the air without warning before he could finish speaking, and by the time Karan finished his last word, the ray containing the devastating power had already pierced Rhaeggar's body.

Almost at the same time, Karan's seemingly old body suddenly leaped from its seat with agility and disappeared from its place, and the next moment, a huge fireball struck the throne made of white bones, and the violent explosion instantly sent those white bones that had been tempered by magic harder than steel to pieces.

"Your strength is far beyond your appearance," Karan said, standing in the center of the large room, to Rhaegar who had also used short-range teleportation to send him a dozen meters away before the ray arrived, "I believe that your identity is not as simple as you appear. Why die for a bunch of insignificant explorers? We are the most powerful and noble people in the world. Tell me, what will make you leave that little expedition and leave me alone? Although this place is considered barren, you should know that even those dragons are not necessarily richer than a mage. ”

"Karan Vinnothan," Rhaegar said suddenly, "the noble master of the magical family, it is hard to imagine that you could have escaped that disaster, but your current situation does not seem to be good. ”

Karan's body trembled violently as if it had been struck by lightning, and although it was immediately back to normal, Rhaegar had already confirmed his judgment from the other party's reaction.
