Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

The two sides quickly clashed. The mayor, who had been knocked to the ground by Mo Fan, stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him...

These students living in an ivory tower are actually going to deal with those wicked pirates?

"Young man, go help... Perhaps you're right." He came to Cao Le's side, but didn't do anything. Instead, he said as if he had figured it out.

"Why should I help? They can wipe out these pirates, that's their skill; if they can't, then this place isn't worth rescuing. I'll just watch and not get involved, and I'll spare the lives of you incompetent military mages." Cao Le said, withdrawing from the Black Demon Pool. At this moment, the military mages all knelt down...

The mayor was somewhat bewildered...

I really didn't expect Cao Le to say that.

"Do you know why I'm so cold?" Cao Le asked, looking at Lauren who looked completely bewildered.

"I don't know... Shouldn't you be with your companions to deal with these people?"

Cao Le shook his head.

He continued, "My companions encountered these scumbags in your territory before. They even rescued some people from a small village. As a result, while the people from that village were saved, the members of the Red Ornament Guild were captured by you. However, not long ago, we encountered those captured pirates again, along with the people we rescued. Do you know what they said to my companions?"

"What did you say?" Lauren continued to ask.

“They told us not to save them anymore. We're hurting them.”

"When did saving someone become harming someone?"

"You officials and bandits are colluding, leaving those of us who uphold justice caught in the middle."

"Given the current situation, why should I help you?"

"It's only because my partner is such an idiot that he continues to help you."

"Given my personality, what do I care if you live or die?"

"..."

As Cao Le asked question after question, Lauren didn't know what to say.

Because, even he himself didn't realize that... their municipal government's recruitment of these bandits wasn't actually helping the people at all...

Instead, it gave these pirates the opportunity to openly rob the people....

However, that was not his original intention.

After all, the military strength of this tiny place is far too weak. If it were even slightly stronger, how could it have allowed these bandits to survive until now?

As for the Temple of Liberty that manages them?

hehe..

Where were they when the sirens attacked?

He no longer trusts these people.

“Your idea is not wrong, it’s just a pity that you don’t have the ability to understand people’s hearts,” Cao Le continued.

Lauren didn't speak; instead, she fell silent.

On the other side of the ship, the battle had already reached a point of intense conflict.

Although the number of people from the Three Kingdoms was not large, these pirates seemed to be no match for them at all, and they were easily beaten to the ground.

I initially thought these "children" were all sheltered babies living in an ivory tower, but I never expected them to be so incredibly strong...

only...

He didn't think that these people could really take down Caso.

After all, even the people from the Temple of Liberty couldn't take down Caso, so how could these students possibly do it?

If we could take down Caso in one go, that would actually be a good thing.

So Lauren looked at Cao Le again.

"Don't look at me like that. I've always acted on my feelings. If I don't want to, no one can persuade me." Cao Le shrugged, completely uninvolved.

The villagers he had met earlier gave him absolutely no desire to help them.

Lauren sighed...

Looking back at the battle between Mo Fan and Kasuo on the cruise ship, he thought to himself, "To be honest, it's already quite impressive that he's managed to fight Kasuo this far."

However, Lauren, who knew Caso well, didn't think he could win, especially since the National Academy students were already completely entangled... This outstanding student might even be killed.

Although she had been punched by Mo Fan, Lauren didn't want him to die here.

"The people from the Temple of Liberty are already here. You'd better just watch."

Seeing that Lauren was willing to help, Cao Le said something.

The two mages from the Temple of Freedom were already setting up a protective barrier.

Lauren's involvement now will only encourage Casso to flee. After all, he's already struggling to deal with Mo Fan alone; with Lauren joining in, he might not be able to continue fighting.

Even if he doesn't help, he can't afford to make things worse, right?

Upon hearing what Cao Le said, Lauren looked around, but unfortunately... his cultivation level was not high and his spiritual power was not strong, so he couldn't see any trace of the Temple of Freedom people at all.

But he didn't question it; instead, he was even more surprised by Cao Le...

In my heart, I just felt that Cao Le's strength was simply terrifying...

And the one who fought Kasuo, and him, seem to be from the Chinese National Team, right?

When did the Chinese national team become so awesome...?

However, despite the doubts, Lauren clearly had no intention of going there to help.

This place is now beset by both internal and external troubles!

If he can deal with Kaso, all he'll have to face is the Siren. Although there are other pirate gangs around, if Kaso is wiped out, those smaller forces are just petty thieves and won't matter much.

The battle had reached a fever pitch, and Cao Le had now gained a full understanding of Mo Fan's current strength.

Without demons, he could probably achieve a level comparable to a high-level, fully-fledged mage of a single element. Of course, that's assuming the opponent doesn't have a domain.

If he encounters someone with a domain, even a high-level second-tier one, they can still suppress him. After all, both Flame Princess and Swift Star Wolf are currently only at the Warrior level.

Although they've reached the advanced stage, without advancing, they're still just warriors. They offer no advantage against high-level mages.

...

216. You're finished, I'll avenge you.

Just as Mo Fan was about to give up, the people from the Temple of Liberty finally made their move.

The moment Kasso was trapped, the pirates wanted to finish him off. After all, without his head, they would be finished.

But why would the three Nationalist team members give them this opportunity?

Under the relentless suppression of the Nationalist team members, those who survived began to flee, but they were ultimately just a bunch of small fry, and even if they escaped, they couldn't cause any big trouble.

Almost all of the major Red Ornament Guild pirates were captured or killed today...

Besides Kaso, the Red Ornament Guild is not without its tough opponents.

However, Mo Fan isn't the only capable fighter in the Nationalist team. For example, the captain of the R team is also a formidable opponent.

After the battle, the pirates were all captured again.

However, this time it won't be handed over to Lauren; instead, it will be taken back to the Temple of Liberty for processing.

These people then left to go back and rest.

As for what the mage of the Temple of Liberty wants to talk to Lauren about, that's their business.

"Cao Le, you bastard, you really didn't help me! If it weren't for those two mages from the Temple of Freedom, I would have been in danger!" On the way back, Mo Fan started complaining in a huff.

"If you're willing to play the hero, you have to experience the price of being a hero. I'm already doing you a favor by helping you restrain those military mages."

“I’m not like you. I won’t act impulsively just because someone says something. They didn’t disgust me. On the contrary, the people you saved make me laugh. People like that want my help? No way.”

Mo Fan curled his lip at Cao Le's words and said, "I'm not doing this for them. Those beasts, if we encounter them, isn't it a good excuse to just wipe them out if we don't like them? I don't need them to be grateful to me."

“Everyone has their own thoughts. Anyway, if you want to do something on a whim, which I don’t approve of, then you’d better be prepared to fight alone.” Cao Le patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

In this world, there really aren't that many right and wrong answers, only what you want to do or not.

Even if the person you want to help is wrong, so what?

Even if someone is right, they won't help someone they don't want to help.

It's that simple.

Cao Le has never cared about moral blackmail or anything like that.

As I always say, if you're living your own life, why should you care what others think?

Mo Fan may have been motivated by the plea of ​​a little girl among the enslaved people, which made him forget the dissatisfaction caused by those people.

According to him, he has saved a lot of people, and there are bound to be some idiots among them.

How could Cao Le convince himself to help them rid the world of evil when they viewed them as a disaster?

why?

He's not a savior.

"If there hadn't been anyone from the Temple of Freedom, would you have just watched me get killed?" Mo Fan asked again.

This is clearly a question he cares about.

"Yes, I will watch you die, and then avenge you. That way, you can rest in peace."

"rough...."

It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it, but he's already dead, what's the point of revenge?

"Brother, we can't do this. If I die in front of you, do you think Xin Xia will forgive you?" Mo Fan continued.

"Let's discuss this issue after you've made your heroic sacrifice."

If Mo Fan is really going to die, will Cao Le stand idly by?

He was certain that, no matter what, he wouldn't be able to stand idly by at that point.

After all, Mo Gouzi and I grew up together.
