Chapter 765 - 765 We Won’t Save Him



“The agent is still alive at least. He contacted my phone and let it on so I could hear his conversation with other people there. But it was just for five minutes since someone suddenly come and he stopped the call,” Albert said.

So that guy is still healthy enough to call Albert. But maybe the act of calling Albert made a reaction to a master level mage’s magic detection and so he needed to stop it before they realized what happened.

“There was someone over there who was trying to heal him. So he talked to him while also talking to himself. He stopped the call when he heard that someone was coming so I don’t know the full detail. But I will tell you what he said before the call ended,” Albert said.

At least we have a new information that could be important before trespassing into the enemy’s territory.

When the agent fought the weretiger, he pretended to not have enough mana. He was a good actor so he pretended to be in panic and even started throwing stones at the weretiger before he lost his consciousness. Though he missed because he was panicked. But even if he didn’t miss, some stones won’t do any harm to a monster.

“Throwing stones? Is that stone what I’m thinking?”

There’s only one thing that an agent who was trained to be calm at all time to do. It’s to not let panic set in and make an error in his judgement.

So the stones that he threw, at least one of them, is a Blobby. And I can just go there directly if needed. And instead of opening a portal to the agent’s location, I should go to where he threw the Blobby at. It should be safer this way.

.....

“Most likely. He was with someone so he can’t say everything. But there’s no need to tell anyone about throwing stones. So he must be talking about Victoria’s clones.”

But he was fighting against a weretiger before. Or should I say getting himself beaten up by one?

If I open a portal there, the weretiger could be there already. Though Shelia seems to be going his way. She wants to fight him.

A werewolf against a weretiger. Using animal comparison of a wolf and a tiger, a tiger is stronger individually. Usually at least. From what I know.

If they fight inside the magicless area, the weretiger might have the advantage over Shelia. So Shelia needed to fight it outside the magicless area.

Right now, she’s still on the way to the magicless area. Ray should have taken her there soon. But somehow, she’s still only on the way. I know that from telepathy with her.

(Shelia, where are you?) I asked via telepathy.

(I’m fighting some bandits. They think that I’m just a weak woman since I’m still in my human form. I let Ray leave since I want to fight by myself. You can summon him to your own location)

I guess that’s to be expected of her. Since she loves fighting, there’s only a few times that she get away from a fight. And those were because I ordered her to. So when a group of bandits approached her, she will stop.

At least it’s good that she’s not in the magicless area yet.

(After you finish with the bandits, just wait for me there. I’ll use portal to get through the magicless area as soon as possible. I have asked Ray to meet up with you)

After I finished talking with Shelia, I looked at Albert again.

“Is there anything else I need to know? There should be more than just throwing stones, right?”

Then Albert told me everything else that the agent said before the call got ended.

It was just a five minutes call, so he couldn’t just tell us everything. So we had Sonia with us to compare both their view of the city.

The agent was located in a church in the city where he was being healed. Since it’s a church, it must be worshiping the Evil God.

“Yes. There’s a church in that city. When I looked at it from above. If it’s a church, it should be that place. It was right next to a place where they keep their monsters. Though I didn’t see any weretiger before,” she said.

“And it’s also possible that they started patrolling because they saw you in the city. That’s how they meet the agents. Maybe Roy should wait a few days before going there,” Albert suggested.

“So I need to wait more? I guess I will have to explore the magicless area again. We sure love to delay everything,” I said.

Not just this mission. But also back then when we were planning for the tournament. It took a while until we could finalized the tournament and proceed with it.

The agent over there regained his consciousness while the master level mage was carrying him to the city so he could see a bit before he entered the church where he got healed. Of course the master level mage pretended to be weaker than master level.

It was most likely true that it was him who sent the weretiger to split the two agents. Once they split up, he brought one of them to the city to interrogate. Under the guise of trying to get to know the agent better.

The agent sensed that there are several mages surrounding the church when he entered. And when he called Albert with his phone, he sensed that some people including the healer in front of him reacted.

Though it was lucky that the healer is not a master level mage since it was the master level mage who noticed that it was the agent who used magic.

“What do you think, Roy?” Albert asked.

“I think that they also want to recruit the agent to join the cult. He’s an expert level mage, right? And the cult who have lost so many people are in need of powerful mage. And if they fail to recruit him, he will be killed. I don’t think he will betray us, but if the cult have someone who can brainwash him, it would be dangerous,” I said.

“I don’t think there’s a need to worry about it. He will commit suicide if someone is trying to approach him like that. You’ve seen the inside of the agents’ mouth, right?”

As Albert said, I’ve seen it. Similar to the cult, they have something in their mouth. And it’s not a magic item that will explode once activated like the cult does. Because if it was, then I would have killed them thinking that they might be from the cult.

Those were poison. And they just need to bite the small container and drink the poison if they want to kill themselves. So if anyone approached him and try to brainwash him, he would drink the poison first.

I wonder who suggested such things. To think that they prepared it in case of being brainwashed.

The question is whether the agent can tell if the people around him can use brainwash magic or not. Because if he couldn’t tell, he won’t notice that he has been brainwashed.

Though if he’s wrong and think that other mages can brainwash him, he will just kill himself in the end. So that’s fin. Though it won’t be good for us as well since we will lose one capable agent.

“Since we’re delaying my investigation to that city, does it mean we will let him die?” I asked.

“I hope that won’t be the case, but yeah. Everyone realized the importance of what we needed to do. Everyone is risking their lives in the fight against the cult. So we will just wait until further contact with him. Let’s wait two days before you go there if there’s no more contact. By that time, let’s assume that he has been brainwashed and manipulated,” Albert said.

I guess we need to be strict like this. It’s for the greater good.

It’s great that there’s no one here want to play as a hero and tries to save everyone. We’re all gathering here to save the world. Not to save every single person we see.

If such person exist here, he would come to save the agent even by himself. And he will ruin all our plans.

If someone ask, I will say it again. We don’t need heroes. We need warriors.

Let’s just get every leader of a country in the alliance get the credit. There’s no need for a single individual to be worshiped as hero. Even me who is the strongest or Angela who everyone thinks as the strongest mage.

All we need to do is to destroy the cult. Though maybe we can let someone be the target of everyone’s respect. But I’m sure it won’t be me.

“Then I’ll go and tell Shelia about it. We will investigate more about the magicless area and see if we can find the weretiger. We’ll check the abandoned village first. I’ll contact you later then.”
