"Wait!"
Outside the crowd, four powerful warriors escorted a young man as they walked towards them.
Those blocking their path were quickly pushed aside by the four warriors.
The warrior class has a similar level system to the mage class, with nine levels: warrior apprentice, junior warrior, intermediate warrior, advanced warrior, grand warrior, epic warrior, legendary warrior, holy warrior, and mythical war god.
The young man had an arrogant look on his face. His magic robe was exquisite and sophisticated, and the strong magical fluctuations he exuded could make even those who did not understand magic feel the majesty of magic.
He held a pure white staff in his hand, which emitted a strong aura of light magic.
"I want this purple crystal!" the young man said arrogantly, acting as if he were the best in the world.
Ralph gave the young man a troubled look. "Esteemed mage, I have already sold that crystal to another esteemed mage. If you wish, you may discuss it with that mage."
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. One side rides a level seven magical beast, while the other has four powerful warriors as bodyguards. Neither side is easy to mess with!
Ralph, a mere novice high-level mage, dared not offend either side and could only pass the problem to Vincent. After speaking, he looked at Vincent pleadingly, hoping Vincent wouldn't mind.
'Don't drag me into your contest between big shots!' Ralph prayed silently, but then doubts arose. A mere amethyst heart, though a treasure to them, what difference was there between it and a roadside stone to those big shots?
Vincent smiled. "Pack up your stall and leave. This is none of your business."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Ralph put away the level seven magic scroll, not even bothering to pack up the other things on his stall, and hurriedly left with his two brothers.
"Hmph!" The arrogant young man ignored the three of them leaving and glared at Vincent. "Boy, hand over that Amethyst Heart!"
Vincent tossed the Purple Diamond Essence around and sneered, "Are you an idiot? Let's be frank, why say it's the Heart of Amethyst?"
The young man's expression changed, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "What do you know?"
"What do you think?" Vincent winked playfully.
"Boy, who are you?" The young man winked at the four Grand Masters, who immediately began to disperse the crowd.
Vincent ignored the behavior of the four Grand Masters.
"Kid, do you know how rude you are! Before asking others, you should introduce yourself!"
"You!" The young man pointed his index finger at Vincent, gritting his teeth, "I am Declan-Omega, Viscount of the Adre Empire, the youngest high-level mage in the capital, the second in line to the throne of the Omega Duke family, and a trainee priest of the Holy See! And who are you?"
The long list of titles sounded quite impressive, which is enough to show that this guy was indeed a second-generation rich kid!
Vincent frowned slightly, then gave a self-deprecating laugh. So what if this guy is awesome? He has to get that piece of Purple Diamond Essence!
"Vincent Augustine, without your long string of suffixes!" Vincent mocked.
"Hmph!" Declan-Omega secretly reviewed the major families within the empire and found that there were no noble families with the surname Augustine. He also thought that there were no famous families on the continent named Augustine, and his confidence immediately increased.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance now. As long as you hand over that purple crystal, I'll let you go!" Declan boasted arrogantly.
Vincent tossed the purple crystal again, tilted his head, and glanced at him. "What if I choose not to?"
"Kid, don't be so arrogant! If you piss me off, you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Declan said viciously.
Allegra picked up the two silver-reddish minerals from the stall abandoned by the three middle-aged men and said with a grin, "Declan, you're so impressive!"
"Uh, Allegra, what are you doing here?" Declan's imposing manner immediately weakened.
Allegra, with her smooth chin held high, said like a proud little princess, "Why can't I be here?"
"Heh," Declan asked in a flash, "Allegra, did you sneak out again without your uncle's knowledge?"
"Hmph" Allegra huffed in dissatisfaction, "How could that be! I came out to play with the mage!" As she spoke, Allegra pitifully tugged at Vincent's magic robe.
'This little witch!' Vincent thought to himself, then said, 'Yes, Lord Delon knows that Allegra came out to play with me.'
"Uncle knows?" Declan's expression changed drastically, and a strong killing intent surged forth.
'Hmph! That brat, I'll make you pay sooner or later! Damn it, not only did he steal the essence of Zi Ling, but he also wants to seduce Allegra?
Everyone in the entire Adre Empire knows Allegra is my fiancée. Damn it, I'll kill you one of these days!'
Sensing the killing intent, Vincent became secretly wary. He wasn't yet clear about the power of the families in this world. But caution was always best!
"Of course my father knows! By the way, Declan, the mage is my savior, so be polite to him! Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!" Allegra waved her small, white fist, threatening Declan.
"Yes, yes, yes! Allegra, whatever you say goes!" Declan smiled ingratiatingly, then turned to Vincent with a beaming smile and said, "Brother Vincent, I'm so sorry for offending you earlier! Let's have a good drink at the Miracle Restaurant later!"
"Alright, alright! Brother Declan, let's have a good drink later and forget about the unpleasantness we just had." Vincent said back, feigning happiness, but inwardly he was on guard. This Declan-Omega, though impulsive, was cunning and definitely not a good person!
The two flattered each other, their conversation growing increasingly animated, and in the blink of an eye, they transitioned from enemies to close friends.
Their actions were observed by the other, deepening their mutual distrust, and both secretly resolved that, given the chance, they must eliminate the other!
"Alright, is it really that interesting for two grown men to be praising each other like this?"
Allegra couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to stop them. "Declan, didn't you say you were going to the Miracle Restaurant? I want to eat their Ice Peak!"
Declan approached Allegra in a fawning manner, saying obsequiously, "Alright, alright, let's go eat at the Ice and Snow Summit! I heard they recently launched a new flavor of Ice and Snow Summit!"
"Huh? Really?" Allegra's eyes lit up.
Declan gave Vincent a smug look. "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"Okay, okay!" Allegra turned to Gale Wolf and said, "Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
The Swift Wolf's eyes also lit up, "You, a good person, can ride me!"
"Swift Gale Wolf?" Declan only then noticed the tall Swift Gale Wolf, but his tone was somewhat contemptuous.
"Who are you?" Gale Wolf looked at Vincent standing next to Allegra, grinning as he said, "Master, kill him?"
Declan was startled. Although he didn't think much of the Gale Wolf, it was indeed a level seven magical beast! With his small size and four Grandmasters, it was really no match for it!
"The Vincent brothers!" Declan called out with a smirk.
Vincent glanced at Allegra; the two knew each other, so it wasn't appropriate to kill them openly.
He put on a stern face and said, "Idiot! What nonsense are you spouting? Go eat more at the Miracle Restaurant later!"
The Swift Wolf stuck out its scarlet tongue and licked its lips. "Yes, yes, more food, I can eat more!"
