The Master Of Elements

ME 9 Meetings at the Shop

“Is that person inside?” ask Albert to Susan.

“Ya Boss. He's in.”

“Alright You can go.” Elisha.

The couple was standing in front of a room in their tavern. Both of them had quite serious faces. Albert had just finished his routine patrol when Elisha came in a slight hurry to meet him.

The man was sure that something was so serious that Elisha came to see him even though his wife knew that he was coming home soon.

Sure enough, when Elisha came face to face with Albert, the woman just pulled Albert's hand to take him to a place that was a little quiet. Even Elisha also made a small barrier to dispel their conversation heard by a third person.

What his wife was talking about made Albert clench his hands tightly. He believes that people who come to meet them this can be a solution in solving their safety problems. But this depends on the identity of the person who came to see them.

If indeed the person who came was really from there and he had a fairly high authority, then the safety of his three children could be guaranteed. But it could have been a person with low authority.

If indeed those who come are people with low authority, then their safety is not guaranteed one hundred percent. Even so, the arrival of this man gave great hope to Albert and Elisha.

Albert took a deep breath. He then looked at his wife. Albert saw Elisha nodding his head. Seeing his wife's readiness, Albert knocked quietly on the door that was in front of them. Without waiting for a response from his occupants, Albert opened the door in front of him and entered the room with his wife.

The room looks ordinary. This is the standard room here. Just a bed fit for one person with a little nightstand next to the bed. Not far from the bed was a table with chairs. This twenty square meter room is the most standard room in the store.

The many hunters and mercenaries who volunteered made the many rooms in Elisha's tavern full, so that only this room was there for their guests. If it does not coincide with this, they will definitely give their best room for their guests.

On the bed in the room was a shabby-looking man sitting and looking at Albert and Elisha. A grin was clearly seen adorning the man's face. Albert then closed the door behind him. He pulled the chair there and allowed Elisha to sit there, while he stood behind Elisha.

The shabby-looking man tapped the stick he held twice onto the floor. Afterwards, a barrier to cover the sound of their conversation, appeared and surrounded the room where they were. In this way, the conversation they were about to make would not be heard by the fourth person.

“Amore I didn't think you were really alive and married Sebastian.” The man opened the conversation. “If only one of the academy's students did not report the existence of a barrier that has the peculiarities of our academy there might be no one who knows that you guys are still alive and married.”

“I'm sure your brother will be angry knowing that you guys have deceived him. Even the academy managed to trick you.” Add that man. “I wonder, how did you guys engineer your deaths? The evidence you left behind is enough to convince us that you died in that mission.”

“We bribed the Black Boa. You know, monsters with platinum levels are starting to have intelligence. We cooperate with the black Boa.” Obviously Albert.

“Is it that easy? I'm not sure you guys who at that time had gold-level power could negotiate with that Black Boa. You're not on the same level as him. I'm sure the Black Boa is looking down on you two. Right no?”

“For that, we first poisoned the Black Boa. The Black Boa was quite greedy. He ate the bait we gave him without thinking why suddenly there was a monster carcass near his nest.”

“Hah.” The shabby-looking man sighed softly. “I forgot that you were a student of Andreas. I'm sure the old man has already taught you how to make platinum-level potions. Too bad you went. Though your medicinal abilities are the best of all Andreas's disciples. Do you know how your mentor was when you found out you were dead?”

“I'm sure he's screaming and wailing and promising to avenge our deaths. That's not what my mentor did? He said that before we said goodbye. The potion was not me who made it but mentor.” A small smile involuntarily appeared on Elisha's lips when talking about his mentor in Andradius' academy.

A feeling of relief appeared in Albert and Elisha's hearts. They already know the identity of the person in front of them. Although the person in front of them was wearing a disguise and his face was different from his real face, but they were convinced of the identity of the person in front of them by the way he spoke and took the name of Elisha's mentor while in the academy.

“Sials. So Andreas has been tricking me all along. I guess he's really devastated by your death, so without waiting for the investigation team to report further he's killed the Black Boa. I'm sure he did that to cover up some of the evidence you left behind. Then what do those miserly people also know about this?” he looked at Albert standing behind Elisha.

“Mentor already knows that. After all, the mission we took was approved by the mentor. So, it was certain that the mentor knew our plan. Otherwise we might not be able to take on the same mission as that suicide mission.”

“Sial, shit, shit.” Again the man cursed. “The two men dare to deceive me. Are they not afraid if I reduce their salary. Just watch out I will make calculations with them when I return to the academy.”

“Academy chief, what brings you here. Just because there was a student who told the academy that there was someone who put up a barrier similar to the academy in this small village. I'm sure it won't get you all the way here. I'm sure the academy will send someone else.”

“Of course. I was walking nearby when I met the student. If he were to report this to the academy, the one who came was definitely not me. Because I'm near here, all of you I come here.”

“From the description of the student, the first person I have in mind is you. So I came here to make sure that it was you guys.” Said the man who turned out to be the head of Andradius' academy.

“Do you guys have been living comfortably here for too long so that makes your supervision off guard. The student I met was only silver level, but you guys easily passed him.”

Albert took a deep breath. “Too many are watching us from the darkness. We knew that there were students from the academy watching us these few weeks. We let him go without meeting him. He is our hope to contact the academy for now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Black Shadow watching us.” Answer Elisha slowly.

“Heh... What now you are so afraid of the brutes of Black Shadow. I'm sure the one watching you isn't too strong. I just feel some Platinum-level people around here. You guys are already at Platinum IX level aren't you? Are you afraid of them.”

“If only we were their target, Albert could handle that. But what they are looking for are our children. If we were careless in winning this, they could have brought help.”

“Now there are only two platinum level people watching us. If we act tomorrow there could be ten people coming, and we don't want to risk the safety of our children with something we ourselves haven't been one hundred percent sure of.”
