The Genius Mage Chapter 109 - Invitation Letter

Chapter 109: Invitation Letter

After sending the Dragon Slaying Squad back to Spark City, the dragon returned to the Frigid Lands.
Audrey had asked the dragon if he was willing to stay. She did not mind that he had once hurt her mother.
Although her words had shocked Audrey herself, she still had an inexplicable desire for kinship with the dragon in her heart.
For the first time, the dragon looked at her gently and said, “The Dragon Clan will never be willing to be bound. It’s the same for Della and me.”
His attitude was very firm, so Audrey had no choice but to give up. “Alright then, we’ll meet again.”
In fact, the dragon did not really want to see Audrey again. He unexpectedly liked his cheap niece.
One of the main reasons why he had stayed in the Frigid Lands for so many years was that he had not brought back Della’s corpse. The elders of the Dragon Clan did not allow the Dragon Clan’s bloodline to be even the slightest bit impure.
The next time they met, it would be a life-and-death battle.
The dragon shook its huge dragon head, flipped over, and disappeared into the clouds.
Hera was in a hurry to absorb all the level-20 potions, and Jill and Kate’s levels seemed to be on the verge of breaking through after a trip to the Frigid Lands.
“How about this, we’ll contact each other in a week,” Kate suggested. “When that time comes, we should have both broken through, and we can also go to the Mercenary Association to do some missions.”
Jill hurriedly nodded. “In any case, the Dragon Slaying Squad will never be disbanded, so let’s make the name of the Dragon Slaying squad hang higher on the list of the Mercenary Association.”
Hera also agreed with her suggestion. “Audrey, you don’t have any other opinions, right? Let’s meet at the same place in the restaurant in a week!”
After Audrey dispersed from the three of them, she returned home. Calder had already made contact with Mack of the Lisi business building and filled up Audrey’s herb garden along the way.
The gentle and handsome man stood quietly under the sun with the hose in his hands. His gaze was gentle and affectionate, as though he had seen another person through Audrey’s body.
The warm sunlight shone on Audrey, making her look like the gentle eyes and brows of Della from his memories.
Calder was stunned for a moment. In that instant, he seemed to see Della. “Audrey?”
Audrey walked up and gently hugged Calder. “Father, I already know mother’s true identity…”
After she told him everything, she thought that she would see Calder’s pained face. However, he was unexpectedly calm.
“I already knew that your mother’s identity wasn’t ordinary. It’s within my expectations to say that she has the dragon bloodline in her,” Calder said softly. “What I’m most worried about now is her safety.”
It was his responsibility to protect Della. It was already good news that he knew that Della was still alive.
As for what happened next, Calder decided to do it bit by bit.
He could not throw everything onto Audrey.
Calder sighed. “Let’s not talk about this, for now, Audrey. After you left, the city lord of the main city of Spark City came over. He asked me to bring you a message.”
The lord of Spark City?
Lance?
Audrey frowned. She did not understand what this person had to say to her. “What message did he send?”
Calder placed a beautiful greeting card in Audrey’s palm. “This is the invitation letter for the Templar’s trial. The lord said that he wants you to make a trip to the main city of Spark City after you return. All the people who received the invitation letter will be sent to the main city of Spark City.”
He rubbed the space between his brows. He did not understand why his life seemed to have undergone an earth-shattering change in just a short month. He also did not understand why the lord of Spark City had taken notice of Audrey.
The lord had personally sent this invitation.
“But logically speaking, doesn’t the Templar’s trial only take place once every ten years?” Audrey was puzzled. “I remember that the last time the Templar’s trial was held was only four years ago, right?”
Calder nodded and sighed. “This is also something that I don’t understand. However, the lord didn’t intend to tell me much. He only told me to let you go to the lord’s residence personally. He will explain the situation to you in detail.”
He glanced at Audrey and hesitated.
The Templar Knights had a fixed number of spots. There would not be any additional spots.
When Lance came over to deliver the invitation, Calder had already sent people to inquire about it. Almost all the members of the five great families had been invited, and some outstanding children from commoner families had also been selected.
For so many years, the Templar Knights had never expanded their recruitment. It could only be because the Templar Knights did not have enough manpower.
Audrey had obviously thought of this as well.
Could it be that the Templar Knights had met with some big trouble?
What kind of major event would cause the Templar Knights to lose more than half of their members?
That strange feeling of being spied on spread out from the darkness again.
Audrey clenched the invitation letter in her hand. It seemed like she had to make a trip to the city lord’s mansion in person no matter what.
