The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell

Chapter 247

A polite disciple stood outside Maurina’s courtyard, and he brought the good news Maya mentioned before.

After listening to the disciple‘s description, Maurina blinked, and he asked in confusion, “A task assigned by the sect?”

The disciple smiled gently and answered, “As you just entered the sect, I’m afraid that you’re not aware of this sect’s custom.

Any disciples who achieve an impressive result during their first ranking competition or make a significant improvement will be rewarded by the sect.

These rewards are not limited to martial skills, precious medicines, or treasures.

Moreover, some tasks that can be of great benefit will also be assigned by the sect.”

Maurina immediately understood.

“Thank you for the clarification.

Please wait for me as I get changed, and I’ll follow you after.”

The disciple waited for a moment.

Then, once Maurina was done changing, he brought his storage sack and followed the disciple.

Along the way, Maurina inquired about their destination and mission.

The disciple chuckled.

“Casper, I think you’re mistaken.

I’m not completing the task with you, and I’m only in charge of leading you there.

As far as I know, the mission won’t be difficult, and you’ll pass the Darnley Valley with an elder from the sect to deliver something.

Once it’s done, your mission is completed, and it’s relatively easy.”

The disciple did not know much of the details, so Maurina did not continue asking.

Instead, they chatted until they arrived by the lakeside not far from the gate of the mountain.

Two figures waited by the ferry crossing.

Maurina looked closer and was surprised to find out that one of them was Maya.

The other person was a hunchback and skinny elderly man with grey hair and beard.

That elderly guy might be the elder mentioned before.

Maya already noticed Paul, but she did not dare to be sassy as the elder was right beside her.

Hence, she could only smile and wave at Jordan.

Maurina nodded it.

On the way here, Maurina learned that the male disciple that brought him over was named Noah Abbott, and the elderly man was indeed the Heavenly Stars Sect’s elder that would accompany them for their mission, named Wesley Young.

Noah approached Wesley and bowed.

“Good day, Elder Wesley! I’ve brought Casper over.”

Wesley nodded.

Then, he glanced at Paul, commenting, “Well, let’s see how good he is.”

“Hmm?” Maurina turned to Noah in confusion.

Noah smiled and explained, “Casper, even though Darnley Valley is a trade route, wild animals and monsters will still pass by along the way.

Hence, it’s not exactly safe.

In order to determine whether you are qualified for this task, let me test your abilities.”

“Oh?” Maurina nodded and took out the Ghoul-Locker Spear, holding it in his hands.

“How do we determine the qualification?”

When the Ghoul-Locker Spear appeared, Wesley, Noah, and Maya were all attracted to it, and the scene instantly quietened.

After Maurina’s meticulous makeover on the Ghoul-Locker Spear, it emitted a dark and solemn aura around it.

On its blade, it was like countless lost souls wandering and screaming.

It was an extremely chilling sight.

When Wesley saw the spear, his cloudy eyes instantly lit up, and he secretly gasped in admiration.

Maya just fought with Maurina a few days before, and she saw that he used the Blazing Spear during the match.

Maya realized that the Ghoul-Locker Spear in Maurina’s hand appeared different from the Blazing Spear, and even though she was curious as to when Maurina changed his weapon, she did not ask much.

“What an amazing spear!” Noah blurred and complimented, breaking the silence.

Then, he turned his line of sight from the Ghoul-Locker Spear back to Jordan.

“Anyway, you’ll just need to attack me.

You’ll be deemed qualified as long as Elder Wesley is satisfied.”

Maurina looked at Noah, and he swiftly understood why an outer disciple was sent to lead him over.

“Then, don’t be offended.

Watch out!” As soon as Maurina said that, he immediately took his spear and swept across.

“Don’t worry.

Go ahead…” Before Noah even finished speaking, his expression quickly changed.

Initially, Noah thought Maurina was just an apprentice even if he had an impressive result in the ranking competition.

Moreover, Maurina’s realm was far from his, so how great could he be?

However, Noah regretted his thoughts, and he was even glad that he did not brag just now.

The sudden strong force rushed over, and Noah felt the air around him turn into a vacuum.

Then, Noah hurriedly raised his hands to block his sides with his sword.

Nonetheless, Maurina was too fast, and Noah did not even manage to withdraw his sword in time.

Bang!

As if there was thunder clapping on the ground, Noah’s figure was immediately sent flying about 15 meters away.

Then, finally, he landed on the ground after somersaulting in mid-air. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Not only that, but Noah also felt his arm trembled slightly, and he could not hold onto his sword well.

The surprise he felt was clearly written on his face.

‘What a strong force! How did the kid train?’

Just as Maurina wanted to attack again, he heard Wesley’s croaky voice.

“That’s enough!”

Maurina and Noah turned to Wesley, and they saw him nodding.

“You can leave first.

I’ll bring these two with me,” Wesley informed Noah.

“Alright, Elder Wesley,” Noah replied.

Then, he waited until Wesley walked toward the edge of the ferry crossing, and he approached Paul, whispering, “Casper, no matter what happens during the trip, you must pretend as if you didn’t see anything.

Don’t ever go against Elder Wesley’s will!”

“Hmm?” Maurina looked at him in more confusion.

It was apparent that talking about another elder behind his back was a big pressure for Noah.

Hence, he glanced at Wesley and quickly added, “Just remember my words.

Elder Wesley is a great person, and he has contributed a lot to the sect.

However, his personality is… Alas… I need to leave.

You’ll know soon.”

Noah did not forget to add, “Let’s talk about it once you‘re back.” Then, Noah anxiously left the place as if he was afraid of being stopped by Wesley.

Noah’s words were strange, and Maurina did not know what went on.

When he turned around, Maya was already quietly standing there.

Although they were the same age, Maya had a charm that not many young ladies had.

Maya’s watery eyes, delicate red lips, and the big round earrings hanging from her earlobes made her appear extremely enchanting.

Maurina felt his cheeks suddenly warming as Maya stared at him.

Then, he changed the topic and asked, “Maya, why are you joining the mission too?”

“What a coincidence, right?” Maya pursed her lips, and a smile bloomed on her face.

In that instant, it was like spring, and the air around them had a hint of warmth and sweetness.

“I’ll have to trouble you for your advice along the way.”

After saying that, she thought it was troublesome, and she commented, “Both of us are the same age, so let’s disregard the formalities and not treat each other like senior-junior.”
