Suddenly, I saw Daniel throw the token over, and the Elder received it with some confusion.
"Now that the item is in my hands, tell me, if I were to destroy it, how much of these offerings would remain? So don’t think about reclaiming the offerings. If it comes to worst, we can all just part ways, and I won’t take these offerings."
"Then I’ll turn around and write a letter to Lord Boris. What do you think would happen if he knew that the Fire Elemental Clan possesses a natural Fire Element Pool?"
Amos's face turned grim; he feared Daniel's cunning nature. To gather these offerings, there were quite a few elemental creature remains and precious plant life among them.
Once destroyed, nothing would be left. If they could recover half of the offerings, it would be considered a success.
If Boris learned that the Fire Elemental Clan had a natural Fire Element Pool, the first thing he would do is take the Element Pool away and place it in his own Wizard Tower.
He would definitely do this, and it would be an inevitable outcome.
Once the Element Pool closely related to the Fire Elemental Clan was taken away, whether fire elements could even exist would become a question.
Such a significant leverage could spell doom for the Fire Elemental Clan. If they had the capability, they would risk their lives to keep Daniel from leaving.
The three Elders gritted their teeth in hatred as they slowly approached Daniel with their subordinates.
Meanwhile, Daniel was backing away step by step with the offerings, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Soon, Bear Big rushed over and stood in front of Daniel, clearly determined to protect his master at all costs.
In an instant, the situation changed.
With such a large and fierce Raging Demon Bear blocking the way, after leaving the Lava Secret Realm and losing its fire element enhancement, Amos would need some time to kill it. This would give Daniel a chance to escape.
With no way to keep things under wraps, they had to find a way to compromise. If Daniel exposed the Fire Element Pool, the Fire Elemental Clan would face annihilation.
However, letting Daniel leave smoothly was something they were unwilling to accept; those offerings represented 20 years of contributions from the Fire Elemental Clan. It was an enormous wealth. Once lost, where would they find enough offerings again?
"I’m not afraid to tell you that Arnold and his group have already been killed by me. The token was taken from them; now giving you this token is just an excuse."
It was their inadequate guarding that led to the loss of the token; you were merely following orders to deliver the tribute. At the last moment, they discovered the enemy's scheme and fought desperately to strike back, but unfortunately, in the end, the enemy still managed to escape, and the tribute was destroyed. Do you think Lord Boris will reduce the amount of tribute next time?
That is indeed a good suggestion. In a situation where recovery is impossible, one can only compromise with the other party.
Especially since they heard that Arnold and his group of ten had already been killed by Daniel. They were even more astonished by his combat power.
Arnold and his group had been stationed at Vita City for over thirty years. They had dealt with each other more than once or twice and understood how formidable the other side was.
Yet under such circumstances, they were actually killed by Daniel. Just how powerful is Daniel?
Despite living in the Lava Secret Realm for many years, they still had a certain understanding of the human world. There were countless geniuses among humans, some of whom possessed extraordinary talents that allowed them to unleash combat power far beyond that of their peers.
Clearly, Daniel was one such genius with exceptional combat strength. However, looking at the mountain of tributes piled up in his hands, they felt reluctant. If they let Daniel go, where would they find the required tributes?
They couldn't help but hope that perhaps they could keep him; even if they couldn't retain him entirely, recovering half of the tributes would still be good.
With this intention in mind, a group of Fire Elementals surrounded Daniel and moved closer, preparing to capture him.
Daniel couldn't help but frown; after all, his strength was inferior and unable to intimidate them.
However, it was impossible for him to simply concede; these items were worth a lot, and if he could take them back, he would strike it rich—there was no way he would easily give up.
Fortunately, he had already anticipated what to do in case such a situation arose. He reached out, and Bear Big quickly handed him a package.
Daniel opened it, revealing dozens of potions shimmering with various colors inside. They were all attack-type potions like Explosive Potions and Water Blue Potions.
Especially the Water Blue Potion; being a water-element attack perfectly countered this group of Fire Elementals.
The expression on Elder Amos's face was quite remarkable yet utterly helpless. With these potions, Daniel already had the capability to engage in a mutually destructive fight with him.
Looking around at the tribesmen who had accompanied him, Amos knew that if a battle broke out, there would be no telling how many casualties there would be.
Fire Elemental Clan was already scarce in number and could not withstand such a blow, so in the end, he could only let Daniel leave.
Driving the carriage, Daniel headed south, quickly leaving the area of Vita City.
On the road, Daniel took little-traveled paths to avoid being tracked. Moreover, he altered the appearance of the carriage; the originally luxurious and extravagant carriage had become dull and tattered, covered in holes as if it had not been maintained for decades. It creaked and groaned as it moved, like it might fall apart at any moment.
The two tall and strong steeds had also turned into scruffy horses with large bald patches, looking as if they had not been cared for in a long time.
Since Maxwell had sent him to Underworld for training, Daniel could not resist. He could only follow the Passage and travel thirty thousand miles back to the academy.
However, before that, he needed to exchange all the materials and potions in the carriage for Magic Stone for easier transport.
It would be even better if he could find a storage Belt. Although a storage Belt was just a low-level spatial item, it still offered a small space of ten square meters, which could hold quite a few items.
Unlike now, where he had many items in hand, including the lifetime wealth of Arnold and his ten companions, as well as offerings from the Fire Elemental Clan, which amounted to a considerable fortune.
Currently, this wealth filled the entire carriage; the magical fluctuations emanating from it could be sensed clearly from over ten miles away.
It was like a beacon in the night, attracting the attention of all Wizard Apprentices. If he encountered any Wizard Apprentice, it would be strange if they didn't come to rob him.
Items placed in a storage Belt would no longer weigh down Daniel, nor would their magical fluctuations be perceived by others. It was very discreet.
Unfortunately, storage Belts were quite expensive; Daniel had only seen one with his mentor and had never seen an apprentice own one.
Outside a dense forest at night, a figure cloaked in black robes and wearing a wide-brimmed hat to conceal their face arrived here.
After comparing with the map, Daniel quickly confirmed that this was indeed a wizard market. As a newcomer, if he hadn't extracted this information while in Vita City, he wouldn't have known where to sell his gains.
The sound of his leather boots crunching on dry twigs echoed ominously in the dark night.
After searching for some time without finding the entrance to the market, Daniel began to feel anxious when an owl perched on a tree caught his attention.
This is a dark forest, filled with many ghostly legends, and no one dares to enter. At this moment, it is pitch black all around, with not a single sound of insects or birds, creating an eerie atmosphere.
In such an environment, the Owl has been following him the whole way, staring at him without any concealment. It would be strange to say there was no problem.
Noticing his gaze, the Owl flapped its wings and flew down. "Hello, outsider. Is there anything you need help with?"
"I am a wandering Wizard Apprentice. I heard that the market here is open to any wizard, is that right?"
"That's correct. Since you want to enter, follow me. Remember, fighting is strictly prohibited in the market. Of course, we will also ensure your safety, but only within the market. As long as you are inside, no one dares to harm you."
"Thank you."
As the Owl turned left and right, a cave soon appeared before Daniel.
"Go in. This is the entrance to the market; someone will be there to receive you."
"Thank you."
After thanking the Owl, Daniel quickly walked inside. He noticed strange paintings on both sides of the cave walls, depicting several fierce and terrifying monsters. They seemed to claw and glare coldly at every Wizard Apprentice entering.
Daniel's eyes narrowed; it was a defensive Magic Array that also served as a detection mechanism. It appeared that no one was guarding it, but if an unqualified person were to intrude, these monsters would likely materialize and attack the intruder.
Their combat power might not be very strong, but it would be sufficient for dealing with ordinary situations.
