Chapter 599: Day before Departure
Dina laughed, not surprised by these people's words.
Everyone had their own selfish motives and the reason why she made this base was simply because it was convenient.
Is she kind enough to save people?
It's impossible.
Being a demonic magician meant that she had long abandoned her heart and compassion a long time ago. Those worthless things didn't have any value except for being thrown into the trash can.
If they were not selfish, they would have died a long time ago.
A good person died early while a bad person would last much longer.
That was what Dina believed in, so she never wanted to be a good person. There was no point to become a good person.
"Jonas, let's go back." Dina waved her hand and turned around. She would rather use this time to recover and practice rather than wasting time with Murin.
As for exploring the cracks?
Unless those b*stards can give reasons to convince her, Dina didn't want to enter the crack again. The previous experience had told her that in the face of these powerful magic beasts, she was nothing much.
Moreover, there might be rank 7 magic beast waiting for her.
How could Dina be willing to go there in that case?
"Yes, Miss."
In this way, the returnees had gone back, leaving only Riya and Samuel outside the base.
Riya stretched her hand and with a wave of her hand, the Protective Rune Circle around her disappeared. "It seems that he didn't trust other people at all."
Well, it could be said that all of them never truly trusted others.
Being alone without anyone to confide in and then returned and having the power that was far above others, it would be a miracle if they dared to talk about it with others. Because they knew very well that it was very easy to covet their strength.
"Just leave him be." Samuel snorted. "Go back to rest and depart tomorrow."
He didn't want to stay in this base any longer and would rather go to the crack with Riya. The more they stayed here, the more he would want to beat up those useless people who only knew how to order others.
"Yes."
…
The night went by quietly.
And the next day, both Riya and Samuel departed early. The others would also leave today and they gathered in front of the gate along with Peter, who was woken up by Samuel and dragged out.
"Hey, hey, you're the one asking for help, why are you dragging me out now?" Peter complained as he released himself from Samuel's grab.
"It's a transaction and not help," Samuel corrected.
"Isn't it the same?" Peter looked at Samuel blankly.
Samuel was too lazy to correct Peter as they walked out of the base.
The two of them were not close to each other, so they didn't really have anything to talk with the other party.
On the other hand, Riya handed out jade necklace to her friend and students. Well, to be exact, she handed it to all of them so that they would not feel any gap.
"Is this a formation?" Amelia asked curiously as she held the jade necklace in her hand.
"Yes." Riya nodded. "There's a rank 6 protective formation that will only activate if you encounter attack that could possibly kill you. With that formation, no attack under rank 7 can kill you."
Amelia was stunned.
The strongest people that she had met are definitely Samuel and Riya. These two people had only reached rank 6 some time ago and the others were still lagging behind them. Because it was not so easy for others to keep up with their pace.
By handing this necklace to them, it seemed to tell them that even Riya and Samuel would have trouble to kill them if they ever wanted to.
"You're really good to me, Riya~."
"Hey, hey, stop hugging me like this!"
The others saw the two girls were playing around and laughed. It has always been very lively around Amelia.
At the same time, they were thankful for Riya's gifts.
With these, they would have more confidence when staying in City I Base. As long as they didn't try to provoke other powerful people or magic beasts, they should be able to keep their lives.
"Don't worry, we will not die so easily." Amelia smiled as she released her grip on Riya. "So you have to take care of yourself when you're inside the crack too."
"Yes. If you dare to die there, I will not return Mo to you," Sophia said as she patted the tiger beside her.
*roar*
The white tiger, Mo, protested yet agreed at the same time.
"Teacher, I still have a lot to learn~," Ruben added coquettishly.
The others silently took a step away from Ruben when they saw him acting up again. While it was funny, but they also have goosebumps when they saw Ruben like this.
Yet this man didn't seem to realize that his action often made others really want to punch him.
"Well, I also haven't finished learning," Stephen said helplessly.
He was not that close to Riya but it was the truth that he also learned something from Riya. While this excuse didn't seem to be very good, but Riya and Samuel would understand that this was telling them that they have to protect themselves well.
Arnold and Sean didn't say anything. They only looked at Riya and the others who were messing around, sighing in their heart.
"Don't you want to add something?" Sean asked.
"Not for the time being." Arnold shook his head. "Besides, I don't think it's necessary for me to say anything right now."
Their relationship with Riya was not very close. Without Samuel and Amelia, there didn't seem to be any connection whatsoever between them and Riya.
So Arnold had no intention of interrupting these people's antics.
Sean nodded and said nothing else for he was also in the same position.
