Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes

"You just said, you, want to buy my adorable little pet?"

A sinister smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, Lady Mandel paused her speech, giving Landon a careful look.

His appearance was ordinary, yet remarkably enduring to gaze upon.

She didn't understand why she felt this way.

Meanwhile, as a High Rank spiritual power and Magic Power unified Eighth Rank Peak powerhouse, she had vaguely sensed a somewhat special destiny aura on this young man before he even entered the door.

It seemed that a High Rank Prophet had left a mark on him, for unknown reasons.

This piqued her interest; a person specially observed by a High Rank Prophet must have something unique, worthy enough to become her prey.

And from the way he was completely left to his own devices, as long as she didn't kill or maim him, playing with him for a while shouldn't matter to the Prophet behind him either.

"Unfortunately, I currently have no plans to transfer my little pet."

After a moment of silence, the blonde noblewoman stretched out a finger, slowly shaking it.

"That's my brother!"

Upon hearing this, Frey couldn't help but exclaim excitedly.

"Pfft—Oh~ Yes, beautiful Elf miss, he might have had that Identity a long time ago. But now — his only Identity is my pet and servant, nothing more."

Lady Mandel happily watched as Frey's face turned red with Anger, chuckled, and then smoothly changed the topic.

"However, since it's a request from this dear little brother, I can now give you a chance to take him away."

"Are you serious?"

At these words, Landon immediately showed a look of surprise.

He didn't harbor much hope initially, as he was facing an Eighth Rank; whatever they did, it wouldn't greatly impact her.

"Mm~ Of course, let me think about the conditions."

Leisurely stretching her mature and alluring body, Lady Mandel leaned back in her chair, quickly thinking through some highly challenging Tasks.

After all, such people aren't rare; sending them to find some rare treasures or handle some difficult matters often results in a high success rate.

However, after glancing at Anvis, who was cozily nestled on the sofa, relishing her afternoon tea snacks and looking their way, she had a sudden change of mind.

She momentarily had no particular matters to deal with, so perhaps, she thought, let's have some fun.

"I can give him back to you, but in exchange, you replace her brother and become my servant, how about that?"

Upon hearing this request, both of their expressions shifted.

"I'm sorry… Lady Mandel, I cannot agree to this request, could you please consider another?"

His gaze struggling to move away from her enticing body, Landon eventually shook his head, rejecting her offer.

"Another one…? Hehe—"

With a wicked smile, Lady Mandel slowly took off her high heels, her captivating black silk toes wiggled a bit before she cast an aggressive look towards Landon.

"Then how about this, on the same price as just now, you and your little Elf companion kneel before me now, kiss my toes like a good servant, and I can equally transfer him to you."

"Lady Mandel, are you insulting us?"

After hearing her demand, Landon's gaze finally turned cold.

"Humiliation? No no no, this is but a reward for the good child!"

In response to Landon's anger, Lady Mandel suddenly laughed.

"Come now, my dear, show them your loyalty."

His pale green eyes thick with humiliation, the boy on the ground obediently crawled a few steps, shaking slightly as he kissed the noble lady's toes, not daring to look at his sister again.

Watching her brother actually about to kiss those dirty toes, Frey nearly lost her sanity and almost acted out rashly. However, under the somewhat regretful eyes of Lady Mandel, she was firmly held back by Landon.

"Enough, Lady Mandel. If you have no intention of releasing him no matter what, we shall take our leave."

Staying here was pointless. Saying this, Landon was ready to leave and seek help.

He had been appointed as this squadron leader at the Fourth Rank not for no reason, but indeed through a string of fortuitous adventures.

Previously, under the guidance of the Dark Raven, he had acquired the core secret from a perilous underground relic, significantly enhancing his talent and also accidentally rescuing a girl.

This girl happened to be the daughter of the deputy commander of the Starfire Organization at the Eighth Rank Peak. For this, the person was very grateful to him, not only arranging a good position for him but also often giving him some special guidance privately.

As long as he could get his mentor to speak on his behalf, even if Lady Mandel was at the Eighth Rank, she would have to consider the cost involved.

"Please wait a moment, both of you."

At this moment, Anvis, who had been silently observing the scene, suddenly spoke, detaining the two.

"Lady Mandel, why must you trouble them so? This demand brings you no tangible benefits. How about changing the request?"

Hearing Anvis's words, Landon and Frey, who were initially helpless, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, their eyes looking expectantly towards him.

"Oh? My dear Mirror Man, do you have any advice regarding my actions?"

Deliberately emphasizing the word 'dear', Lady Mandel stared at Anvis, her tone somewhat sarcastic.

"This is your prerogative, respected Lady Mandel, I merely offer a suggestion."

From beneath his hood, Anvis said nothing more, just conveyed a message to her through spiritual transmission.

Helros' Unlimited Magic Book… Is this message true?

Upon reading this piece of information instantly, Lady Mandel suddenly straightened up, looking at Anvis in surprise.

Of course.

Anvis gave her a nearly imperceptible nod.

After a moment of silence, Lady Mandel finally nodded, turning her gaze back to Landon and Frey.

"I must say, you two are quite lucky.

Yes, he is the one you think, the renowned leader of the Embers Organization, daring to challenge a Ninth Rank 'Supreme Being', Mister Mirror Man."

Having deliberately pointed out Anvis's identity to the two, the blonde noble lady then announced the task.

"Now, I have a new task for you."

"In a few days, at Mivela Basin, a new ancient relic will emerge, I need you to retrieve a book from the deepest part of the relic and bring it to me.

Don't worry, it is very distinctive. The cover is like sewn human skin with an eye in the center, and it constantly emits ethereal magic runes on its surface.

Find it, bring it to me, and I will hand over my little pet to you."
