Chapter 435: Fortune and Glory Twin Stars
The light mage saw that Zhao Hai showed no signs of nervousness, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Young man, don't be too arrogant. Arrogant people often don't live long."
Before Zhao Hai could respond, an elderly voice came from behind, "Are you the ones causing trouble at the Versailles Family? It seems you're not as impressive as you think. I really don't know who gave you the courage. Young man, don't be too arrogant; arrogant people often don't live long!"
Well, that was a direct repetition, Zhao Hai turned around and saw an old man standing behind him. This old man had an incredibly sturdy build; although he had a head full of white hair, he stood there like a ferocious beast poised to attack.
Upon seeing the old man, the light mage's expression changed, "So it's the primordial sword saint who has arrived. Hehe, Sword Saint, you're not getting any younger; with those old limbs, can you still move?"
The primordial sword saint smiled slightly, "Yes, I've aged and may not have many days left. Unlike you young ones who shout about killing every day while hiding behind the guise of charity, I’m old now; killing is just killing. I can’t be bothered with pretense."
Hearing the primordial sword saint say that, Zhao Hai couldn't help but burst into laughter. This old man was truly amusing, and his satire aimed at those from the church of light was quite refreshing.
The light mage's face turned pale upon hearing the primordial sword saint's words, and with cold light in his eyes, he glared at the primordial sword saint, "The god of light is omnipotent; the greatness of the god of light is beyond your comprehension, you vulgar people. Only by believing in the god of light can you enter the eternal kingdom of happiness; otherwise, you can only enter the eternal realm of suffering. If you speak such blasphemies against the god of light, he will surely punish you."
Zhao Hai laughed heartily, "What qualification does the god of light have to punish me? Does he even match up? You guys who claim to represent the god of light, if he knew you were talking like this, I believe the first to be punished would be you."
Clearly, the light mage didn't want to waste any more words with Zhao Hai. He glanced at the primordial sword saint and coldly snorted, "Just the two of you think you can deal with us? You’re too naïve."
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people appeared beside him. These two were neither dressed as mages nor as warriors; their attire was quite ordinary, but their clothes were very extravagant, resembling two wealthy merchants.
Zhao Hai looked at the two in confusion. He had started learning fighting spirit, but he sensed no magic or fighting spirit from these two, which puzzled him greatly.
Although it might be difficult to sense the presence of a mage or warrior, he could generally feel the magic and fighting spirit of others due to the help of space. However, these two gave off no such feeling.
At this moment, the primordial sword saint said softly, "So you've invited the Fortune and Glory Twin Stars. Good, you spent a hefty sum to hire the two most famous aberrant mages on the continent; you’re not making it easy for yourselves."
Zhao Hai was taken aback as he looked at the two again and asked the primordial sword saint, "Sword Saint, are you saying they are aberrant mages? What kind of aberrant mages?"
The primordial sword saint replied gravely, "The Fortune and Glory Twin Stars are the continent's most famous metallic aberrant mages. They are a pair of twin brothers who love money to the core, making their living through business. Once, they suffered a loss in a deal and were scammed out of all their money. In their distress, they fell ill, but after recovering, they unexpectedly gained their superpowers. Both can control any metal weighing under a hundred jin at will, and they're also hired killers; their first job costs a hundred jin of gold, nothing else. They are notoriously obsessed with money."
