"What's your specialty brats?" Emilio asked rudely as he cleaned his battle-ax.
He does not speak like the rest of the nobles, as is expected of a man who rose through his strength.
Aureus smiled, with this type of person it is easy to understand each other.
"Lord Rich, my sister is a fire mage apprentice, and I am a thunder-attribute magic knight," Aureus smirked as he introduced them both.
He had already decided in advance that they would pose as blood brothers.
"What, are you both wizards ?!"
"What, are you both wizards ?!"
Maron and Lord Rich got up at the same time, they looked at the duo with incredible expressions, especially Maron looked at Isabela as if she were a treasure.
Artemis seemed to be about 17 years old, and she is already a magician, Maron was already thinking about how to take her as her disciple.
Aureus looked at the two men in shock, although Critus has already told him how rare wizards are to humans, he still finds it difficult to understand his surprise.
The golden ones are natural magicians and warriors, their physical strength equals the titans and they dominate the 9 elements, that are fire, water, earth, wind, thunder, life, death, light and darkness, in addition, they have the characteristic of being able to turn their enemies into spiritual gold.
This power is also one of the factors that Aureus took into account when naming his race.
Artemis is also strong, with time he has mastered 4 elements, life, light, wind and fire, and he is about to dominate the earth element.
"Can you prove it? Emilio asked excitedly.
Two wizards will ensure safety on the expedition, normally you can only bring Maron, and only because they are old friends.
Wizards are arrogant creatures, they would not agree to leave the comfort of their homes if there is not much, much money involved, money that someone like Emilio cannot provide.
"Thhrrr!"
Aureus simply pulled his sword out of its sheath and conjured some thunder, the lightning flooding the sword and shuddering around it, causing shocked looks from the two humans.
"I-Incredible, the softness of the spell, the speed of the casting, the absence of singing, everything is magnificent!", Maron exclaimed excitedly, his expression flushed, and the blood slowly came out of one of his nostrils.
'Did I overdo it ?, but that's already been too slow', Aureus couldn't understand his shock, from his perspective, this is too normal.
[It will be normal for you, for facts, what you just did is a miracle]
"..."
"Anyway, I think we passed Artemis, why don't you make a fireball, Artemis? Artemis ?!"
"Y-Yes ?!"
Artemis was suddenly startled, since Aureus uttered the word sister, Artemis had plunged into a fantasy not suitable for children ... and adults.
"I asked you to make a fireball", Aureus repeated with a somewhat annoyed tone, this girl always seems to be in his world.
"Ohh ..." Artemis agreed, still somewhat confused, she snapped her fingers and just like that, a fist-sized fireball appeared in the air.
The surroundings became completely silent, Maron fell unconscious from the shock, Lord Rich raised his hatchet and growled angrily, "Who are you ?!"
Aureus looked at Artemis reproachfully, the beautiful woman lowered her head in regret as Aureus turned his head towards Emilio.
"Who are you ?!" Emilio growled again, as his combat aura gradually escaped from his body.
"People much stronger than you who have just joined the adventurer's guild and need to rise through the ranks", Aureus didn't tell the truth, no, but he didn't lie either, he just said what was necessary.
"That doesn't answer my question ...!", Before Emilio could continue, his body fell to the ground uncontrollably and crashed into the ground, a hand grabbing his neck as a chilling voice sounded in his ear, " You dare to disrespect my lord, I ...! "
"Okay enough, Yina, come here!"
"Sir!", Yina bowed to Adriel, Yina is a girl of about 10 years old with pointed ears, blonde hair, blue eyes and a pair of gleaming golden wings.
Yina was an princess who was banished and ended up going down into the ocean, Adriel found her while she was on the way, the girl seemed cute and ended up welcoming her, focused her energy on her so that her evolution occurs with extreme speed, in the last hours he used his newfound power to further accelerate his evolution.
As a royal member of the noble race of the sun elves, she could innately master the elements of light and life, when she reaches adulthood ... which will be in about 600 years, but still she is strong.
Yina already considers Aureus as her teacher, even a little hers father of hers, during this time he has been more of a father figure to her than hers father of hers in 10 years.
Aureus bent down and looked at Emilio's face, "I'm not going to give you any more information, Mr. Rich, the only thing you need to know is that I don't wish you any harm, we do the mission, and we leave, as easy as that. You are a smart man, I'm sure you will make the right choice "
Emilio looked at Aureus for a few seconds, sighed and nodded.
Aureus smirked, "Great, see you tomorrow"
He turned and left, with Artemis and Yina following behind.
