Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 477: Expelling Pests

Xi Yeming didn't know about the crown prince of the Kingdom of Zelicia. In his impression, Bassis was the eldest prince.

He stared at the officer, ready to kick him in the face if any violence occurred.

"Still no one is willing to tell the truth?"

The officer seemed very impatient because the climate in Tiannv Mountain was cold and just standing in the cold wind was enough for him to bear, and the group of villagers were still reluctant to speak.

"Looks like we have to be a little ruthless."

As the officer waved his arm, several soldiers drew their bayonets and pointed them at the villagers in front.

Xi Yeming looked at the enemies' actions in shock. It was not the first time that he had massacred innocent soldiers when they did not agree with him.

The officer looked at the trembling villagers with contempt and sneered, "Kill a few of them to open their eyes."

As the soldiers prepared to move forward to kill, the ground beneath their feet shook with a rumbling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the ground cracked, and a pair of scorpion pincers broke out of the ground, grabbed several soldiers and threw them into the sky.

"What?" The officer looked at the giant scorpion in front of him in shock. "How dare you hide a monster of this level without reporting it? I think you will have to pay with your lives!"

"Invading other people's homes costs lives!"

A figure passed through the crowd and stepped on the officer's face. The officer stopped only after rolling several times.

"You have been wantonly slaughtering innocent people since you invaded the borderland a year ago. You are still doing the same thing now. Don't you have any sense of shame?"

Xi Yeming landed in front of the crowd and protected all the villagers behind him.

The officer who got up had naturally heard of the name of Xi Yeming, the Saint of Desire. The villagers were so tight-lipped that they didn't even reveal the news that Saint Shizhi was nearby.

When the soldiers saw Xi Yeming, they were all panicked for a moment. They had never thought of fighting with the rumored Holy Will of Desire.

"Don't be afraid. The more afraid you are, the easier it is to lose."

The officers had no choice but to command the soldiers to go forward and fight with Xi Yeming.

A wall of ice rose in front of the villagers, blocking their view.

"Really? I don't mean to fight you guys, okay?"

This sentence made the officer think that Xi Yeming had let them go, and the next second, the soldiers holding bayonets let out painful howls.

"what happened?"

The officer turned around and looked at his soldiers, and found that one of their heels was pierced by a thorn, and blood was gushing out on the ground.

Xi Yeming held a speed seal between his fingers, fiddled with it and said, "You are not worthy to fight me."

The sight of the tendons and bones on the back of his feet being pierced was too horrifying, and the officer was glad that he was not targeted by Xi Yeming.

"You think I will let you go?"

Xi Yeming's gaze was fixed on the officer, and his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat him.

“Wait, don’t…!”

The officer wanted to beg for mercy, but suddenly he felt something like a rope wrapped around his neck and hung high up.

The officer lost his life on the spot after being strangled hard, without even having time to struggle before death.

"Alright, before I lower the ice wall, you guys get out of here right now," Xi Yeming clapped his hands and gestured with disdain, "Go back and tell that prince of yours to come to me if he doesn't agree. Don't let me know that he intends to deliberately take revenge on innocent civilians, or else I will make sure he dies without a burial place even if he crosses the border of Zelicia."

Under Xi Yeming's coercion, the soldiers who were disabled for the rest of their lives supported each other and ran down the mountain.

Several of the soldiers even knew to collect the body for their leader, and they carried the body down the mountain together.

After they walked away, Xi Yeming tilted his head and lowered the ice wall. The villagers looked at the prince who saved them one after another. The bloodstains on the ground made them feel frightened.

"Your Highness, the Prince."

The village chief weakly stepped forward to greet his savior.

"No, Village Chief, don't come forward to greet me now that you are like this."

"This, I..."

Judging from the village chief's reaction, he probably knew that Xi Yeming had entered the magic trial, and he might also know that the mirror was a magic prop specially used to fool outsiders.

"Okay, don't be afraid," Xi Yeming comforted the village chief and turned to face the Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion, "You should stay in this village from now on. It's quite dangerous to be at the junction of three countries. Anyway, I can summon you with contract magic."

The crystal scorpion raised its pincers and made a "chi" sound, which was equivalent to agreeing to Xi Yeming's request.

The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. Does His Royal Highness want the Crystal Scorpion to protect their village?

"Your Highness, do you want this giant scorpion to be the guardian of our village?"

"Why, can't it?"

"But that's a magical beast?" The village chief still had concerns about the crystal scorpion.

"Don't worry, the crystal scorpion has saved countless people. It is a monster that will not eat humans."

The village chief looked at the new "villager" with concern.

Xi Yeming said helplessly: "I'll give you a promise, okay? Isn't the prince's promise enough?"

After receiving the assurance, the village chief slowly put his mind at ease and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince has said so, we who have received the favor should naturally not doubt it anymore."

While the two were talking, a few brave children cheered around the crystal scorpion. They held hands and celebrated for this big monster that drove away the soldiers.

Xi Yeming gazed at the children's innocent actions. Perhaps infected by their pure innocence, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, by the way, if anyone wants to enter the magic trial again, just say that I took away everything inside."

"What, did you pass that test?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

Xi Yeming patted his chest proudly and then gave the village chief a thumbs up.

The four sisters walked past the crowd of villagers and came to the two men.

"They are the celestial maidens who have been guarding the magic trials."

"Ah," the village chief pointed at Hiiragi and said, "I recognize you, Lady Tennen. It was you who placed the mirror in my dream."

"Do you still remember me?" Hiiragi admitted his identity, "You don't have to help protect the secrets of the magic trial anymore."

The village chief hesitated to speak, but finally he knelt down and bowed to the four sisters.

"Thank you to the goddesses for protecting our village for hundreds of years."

After this start, all the villagers knelt down before the four sisters and Xi Yeming.

"Thank you, celestial maidens and His Royal Highness."

"What are you doing? Hurry up, hurry up."

Xi Yeming and his four sisters pulled all the villagers up. They were just doing what they could and there was no need for all the villagers to kneel down.

After this incident, Xi Yeming and his group bid farewell to the villagers and set out on the journey back to Dongzhou.

"That's weird. Who is that Great Prince Bajela? Why don't I know him?"

Xi Yeming was still thinking about the identity of the "eldest prince" whom he didn't know.

Chu jumped up to Xi Yeming and asked, "Master, is the place we are going to far?"

Xiye Ming said: "It's very far, but there are marks left by the teleportation array, so we should be able to teleport back soon."

What he didn't understand yet was that a big mess had happened during the short time he had been away from Dongzhou...
