Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out

Chapter 14: People from the Empire, Asking Ye Tian For Help

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Maple Forest City was the capital of the Red Moon Empire. The Monarch and a group of ministers lived in a city with a developed economy and a large number of people.

Even during wartime, Maple Forest City was still bustling with people. Shops and vendors could be seen everywhere.

In the center of the city, in a glorious hall.

A young man was receiving a square-faced middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man’s expression was serious, and his every move was very respectful.

All of this stemmed from the fact that the young man in front of him was the new Monarch of the Red Moon Empire.

“Uncle Goethe, I heard that a powerful mage appeared in Rock Town and killed another mage with just one move. I hope you can make a trip there. I remember that you’ve been there before.”

The young Monarch looked at the middle-aged man.

‘That’s right… so many years ago.’

When Goethe heard the words “Rock Town”, he could not help but reminisce. At that time, he was the Head Knight, the Monarch’s most capable assistant.

For the sake of the Empire’s war, the previous Monarch ordered him to go to Rock Town to find a powerful and capable assistant for the Empire.

Unfortunately, he failed.

When he arrived at Rock Town, he successfully met the mage. The other party was so young that it was difficult to believe.

“Your Majesty, I have indeed been there.”

Goethe answered. His slightly hoarse voice revealed that he was old and no longer as young as before.

The young Monarch smiled and said, “That’s great, Uncle Goethe. Those damned fellows from the Frost Snow Empire actually invited a mage from overseas. Their methods are simply despicable. However, I believe that the strength of that mage from Rock Town will definitely not disappoint me.”

A bitter smile appeared on Goethe’s face.

If this mage was the one he had met in the past, he might not necessarily help the Empire fight.

The young Monarch did not notice Goethe’s abnormality. He continued to give some instructions and instructed Goethe to set off as soon as possible.

After walking out of the hall, Goethe couldn’t help but look worried.

The Red Moon Empire had always been defeated at the front line. Now, even recruiting troops was almost a forced method. It was easier said than done to recruit a powerful mage to fight for the empire.

Although the Monarch had promised very generous terms, that was Rock Town… If it was a mage he had met more than ten years ago, could he really persuade him?

At this moment, Goethe had no confidence at all.

The next day, Goethe prepared everything and prepared to set off.

At this moment, a young woman suddenly came knocking on his door.

“Greetings, Lady Nouye, I’m Goethe.”

Upon seeing him, Goethe hurriedly bowed respectfully.

There was no other reason except that the woman in front of him was the current Monarch’s sister, Nouye Logan.

Nouye gestured for Goethe to get up and said with a smile, “Uncle Goethe, I heard from my brother that I’ll go with you to Rock Town this time.”

“Is this… convenient?”

After a moment of shock, Goethe said hesitantly.

“There’s no such thing as convenience. The Empire is already in dire straits. As long as we can find experts to help the Empire resolve the crisis, I’m willing to go even if it’s a mountain of blades or a sea of flames.” Nouye said firmly.

Her tone was filled with boldness and she did not seem like an ordinary woman at all.

Hence, Goethe did not try to persuade them further. Instead, they began their journey.

Along the way, Nouye asked Goethe about Rock Town.

In fact, Goethe had only been there once, more than ten years ago. However, he tried his best to remember and tell her all the information he knew.

A week later.

The outline of Rock Town appeared in front of the team.

The appearance of such a team quickly attracted the attention of the residents of Rock Town. Peter and the old man rushed over after hearing the news.

The leading soldier introduced Goethe and Nouye to them.

When they found out that the Monarch’s sister had personally arrived, everyone present knelt down and bowed, afraid that they would anger her.

After a simple exchange of greetings and knowing that these people were here to find a mage, Peter immediately led the way and brought the group to Ye Tian’s house.

In the courtyard, Ye Tian was sunbathing on a rocking chair.

As he grew older, he liked to slack off. Apart from cultivating arduously every day, it was very comfortable for Ye Tian to enjoy the sun.

Knock knock!

There was a knock at the door.

Removing the bamboo fan covering his eyes, Ye Tian looked in the direction of the door and said gloomily, “Enter.”

He pushed open the door.

Nouye walked in first and looked at the rocking chair. “Hello, I’m looking for Mage Ye Tian. Is he at home?”

Ye Tian was stunned.

‘Aren’t I in front of you?’

Actually, Nouye had been misled by Goethe’s information.

Along the way, every time Goethe mentioned it, he would always say that it was more than ten years ago.

This made Nouye think that the mage must be a powerful but aged old man.

After all, who would not age for more than ten years?

Even Goethe thought so. When he heard Peter mention the mage’s name, Ye Tian, he instantly thought of the young man he had seen before.

“You… you, why haven’t you changed at all?!”

Before Ye Tian could speak, Goethe let out an uncontrollable gasp and pointed his finger at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian looked past Nouye and frowned at Goethe. He felt that this person was familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before, but he could not name him.

“What?! You’re Mage Ye Tian?”

At this moment, Nouye reacted and looked at Ye Tian in shock. She could not believe that a mage was so young. He seemed to be the same age as her.

“That’s right, it’s me. You’re looking for me? What’s the matter?”

Standing on the ground, Ye Tian admitted his identity and asked.

His expression was a little cold because he had already remembered who Goethe was from the uniforms of the soldiers behind him.

“I’m sorry, I-I didn’t expect you to be so young.”

Nouye smiled awkwardly. This blunder was really big. She immediately became serious.

“Hello, Mage Ye. I’m Nouye Logan of the Red Moon Empire. The enemy country has invited an overseas mage. The Empire’s situation is precarious now. I heard that you have powerful magic power. Please come out of seclusion to save the Empire.”

It was just as he had guessed.

Ye Tian muttered in his heart and waved his hand. He lay back on the rocking chair with his back facing everyone.

“I’m sorry, I have no intention of getting involved in the war. You guys can go back.”

“Lord Mage, please don’t be like this. If the Empire is destroyed, you won’t have such a comfortable environment anymore.”

Nouye pleaded.

It didn’t matter…

Ye Tian was about to refuse when he suddenly realized that Peyroux’s Heart, which had been silent all this while, was burning.

‘What’s the situation?’

Questions popped up in his mind. He touched it with his finger and a message was sent back.

‘After winning the war for the Empire, you can gather the hearts of the people.’

Ye Tian was stunned. So this was how the necklace was used.

“Lord Mage?”

Goethe couldn’t help but shout. He took two steps forward.

“You guys can go back. I’ll go to the front line to take a look later.”

Ye Tian’s calm voice sounded.
