Chapter 118: Fatty Complains

“The Martial Arts Arena of the Imperial Palace was smashed by that pretty boy; I only brought 5 Goblin Mines in total, they couldn’t blow up such a large building at all. It was all the trouble caused by that bastard’s Explosive Arrows, don’t look for me!” Old Xie said impatiently.

“You, you actually dared to use such dangerous things to blow up the Elf Prince? Do you know if you had seriously injured him, how big a storm it would cause?” Fatty was dumbfounded upon hearing this, and couldn’t help cursing, “You are simply a lunatic!”

“Does that mean only he is allowed to shoot Explosive Arrows at me, and I’m not allowed to fight back?” Old Xie said disdainfully: “I don’t care what kind of bird thing he is, if he pisses me off, I’ll kill even that old bastard the Emperor!”

“You are simply treasonous!” Fatty was so angry at Old Xie that he didn’t know what to say, so he simply said, “I can’t talk to you, I’m going to tell Grandpa, let him deal with you!”

After saying that, Fatty shouted loudly to the driver outside, “Go straight to the Magic Academy!” Then Fatty closed his eyes to rest, ignoring Old Xie completely.

Naturally, Old Xie wasn’t happy to pay attention to him either, and secretly started to regulate his breathing.

……

It was already very late when they returned to the Mage Tower. Old Xie got off the carriage, didn’t even say hello, and went straight back to sleep. Fatty hurriedly ran to find the Old Mage who was busy, recounted today’s events with added details, and then concluded: “Grandpa, this little ancestor acts without any measure, you must teach him a lesson properly!”

However, after listening, the Old Mage cursed angrily and said, “I say, you idiot, did you disturb my experiment today just for such a damn trivial matter?”

“Trivial matter?” Fatty was stunned and hurriedly said: “That kid fought with the Elf Prince! And he threw Goblin Mines, such powerful things, if he had hurt someone, it would cause an international dispute!”

“Dispute my ass. From the Emperor to the Queen of the Elves, and even their son and daughter, they all have friendship with me. What does it count for children to fight? Who didn’t have passion and impulse when they were young? Maybe they will even fight up a friendship.” The Old Mage said impatiently: “Just rest assured, it’s fine!”

“But the commotion they caused was too big, even the Martial Arts Arena of the Imperial Palace was destroyed, what if there were damages?” Fatty said hesitantly.

“Don’t be afraid!” The Old Mage waved his hand and said: “I know Little Stephen’s strength, and I also understand Arthas’s capability. Let alone a few miniature Goblin Mines, even genuine Goblin Mines couldn’t hurt him.”

“No way!” Fatty said in great shock: “The power of genuine Goblin Mines can almost hurt a Sword Saint, how could it not hurt His Highness Arthas? He doesn’t seem to be a Saint Domain Expert yet, right?”

“Do you think the Elves are as poor as us?” The Old Mage said in a huff: “Any piece of equipment on that kid is at least a Legendary Item, and he definitely has Sub-divine Artifacts too. As for Divine Artifacts, I’m not sure, but he probably should have one. After all, Arthas is the only bloodline heir of the Elf Royal Family, so they definitely spare no effort in protecting him. And the Elves have a history of a hundred thousand years; if you say they don’t have Divine Artifacts, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death! Protected by so many top-grade equipments, plus his own strength is not bad, even if he encountered genuine Goblin Mines, he would be fine.”

“His Highness Arthas is that powerful?” Fatty asked in surprise: “But Little Stephen fought to a draw with His Highness Arthas, and even without so many good equipments, doesn’t that mean Little Stephen is strong to the point of being near the Saint Domain?”

“Hehe, just about!” The Old Mage said with a slight trace of pride. After all, Old Xie was his proud disciple taught by himself; the stronger he was, the more glory the teacher had.

“Heavens, he is only sixteen years old!” Fatty said with his mouth wide open in shock.

“Hehe, you are wrong. To tell you the truth, his real age is only 13 years and ten months!” The Old Mage said with a slight trace of pride.

“Good gracious, no way, how is this possible?” Fatty said puzzledly: “Why does he have such terrifying strength at such a young age? This, this doesn’t make sense!”

“No, his bloodline is very strange, I have only determined half of it so far. Anyway, judging by that half, this phenomenon is barely normal. Actually, his strength isn’t as powerful as you imagine. I estimate he has at most Level 4 strength, but his combat literacy is very high, as if he has experienced a hundred battles, so he can always win against the strong while being weak.” The Old Mage couldn’t help but fall into deep thought after saying this, and couldn’t help muttering to himself: “But, I don’t remember teaching him how to fight? Why is he so proficient in combat?”

“Oh, Grandfather!” Fatty suddenly couldn’t help but ask strangely: “Isn’t Little Stephen your Illegitimate Child? Why do you only know half of his bloodline? His father should be you? As for the mother, wouldn’t you know?”

“Bastard!” The Old Mage couldn’t help but knock Fatty hard on the forehead, cursing angrily: “When did I say Little Stephen is my Illegitimate Child?”

“Ouch!” Fatty was in excruciating pain from the knock, couldn’t help screaming, and then said resentfully: “But you said he is from our family? In our family, besides you, there is only me, right?”

“Nonsense!” The Old Mage couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: “Actually, our family has other members outside. Little Stephen is the child of one of my sisters, so his generation is one generation higher than yours!”

“Your sister can still have children?” Fatty heard this and his eyes almost popped out. Obviously, he misunderstood that Old Xie’s mother was also a human; calculating by normal age, a woman over 100 years old obviously couldn’t give birth.

“What are you thinking?” The Old Mage said in a huff: “My sister is not a human.”

“If not a human, how is she still your sister?” Fatty asked puzzledly.

“Mm!” The Old Mage thought for a moment, then said: “Alright, you are over fifty this year, it is time to tell you some family secrets. Do you know the Legend Rank Prophet of the Beast Race, Natasha?”

“Of course I know, she is a Legend Rank Expert. Back then, she and you killed a Legend Rank Expert of the Demon Race together, avenging our ancestor!” Fatty hurriedly said.

“She is my sister. At that time, the reason she was willing to go with me without hesitation to kill that Demon was also to avenge her father!” The Old Mage said with a trace of pride: “She is also Little Stephen’s mother!”

“Ah!” Fatty exclaimed on the spot, and then was stunned right there.

“Now you know why Little Stephen is so powerful, right? Because he not only possesses the bloodline of a Legend Rank Prophet, but also a Wisdom Mark containing all the Legend Rank Prophet’s knowledge!” The Old Mage said with a smile.

“Is what you said true? This is too incredible!” Fatty couldn’t help smiling bitterly.

“Of course it’s true. Didn’t you feel that the Lightning Spell of the Legend Rank Prophet is very close to our family’s?” The Old Mage then reminded: “However, I tell you, this is a secret of the older generation, you just need to know, and must not say it out.”

“Yes!” Fatty hurriedly nodded hard, and then asked curiously: “But Grandfather, why did Little Stephen end up in your hands? And who is his father?”

“I don’t know who his father is either. As for how he ended up in my hands, I can’t tell you for now!” The Old Mage then said: “But, there is one thing you must remember, Little Stephen is a member of our family, this is indisputable. You must treat him well in the future, and truly regard him as the family heir, understand?”

“Yes, I understand!” Fatty hurriedly said.

“Mm!” The Old Mage nodded with satisfaction, then smiled: “Although Little Stephen acts wildly, sometimes simply like an idiot, he does have the qualifications to be wild. At thirteen years old, he has such achievements; his future is absolutely limitless. Becoming a Legend Rank Expert is almost certain. Whether our family can flourish in the future depends entirely on him.”

“Yes, I understand!” Fatty nodded and said: “Rest assured, I will definitely help him with all my strength in the future!”

“Mm!” The Old Mage then smiled: “Little Stephen’s ambition is very big, perhaps he won’t care about the ownership of this family in the future. You better work hard and strive to produce another bloodline heir. Come, this bottle of Potion was refined by me according to an ancient recipe, take it back and try it!”

Saying that, the Old Mage handed Fatty a crystal bottle. Fatty took it as if he had found a treasure, and said gratefully: “Thank you, Grandpa!”

“Alright, why be polite with me!” The Old Mage then waved his hand to him: “Alright, it’s getting late, you go back!”

“Yes, then I will take my leave!” Fatty then saluted and left.

After Fatty left, the Old Mage fell into deep thought again. After a while, he muttered to himself: “This Little Stephen is really troublesome, actually fighting with Arthas over a woman. Although his courage is commendable, isn’t he overestimating himself? With his behavior, can he win a woman’s heart better than that pretty boy Arthas? What an arrogant idiot! Forget it, ignore it. After he fails, perhaps he will restrain himself a bit.”
