Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 504 The Origin of Concubine Fragrant Grass, and the Greedy Red Ornament Guild

"Concubine Fragrance, so this herb is called Concubine Fragrance. No wonder it smells so good," Mo Fan said.

"It is said that the 'Concubine Herb' was cultivated from the tears of a concubine in New Zealand. It can be used to make antidepressants and sells for a high price on the market. No wonder this little village is richer than other little villages," Jiang Shaoxu continued to tell Jiang Han about the origin of the Concubine Herb.

"Let's go in and take a look." As he spoke, a dark power surged from Jiang Han's body, covering himself and Jiang Shaoxu. As for Mo Fan, he used Shadow Step to follow behind the two of them, silently entering the mountain village.

There are many people in the small village. Most of them are gathered in the open space of the village, and they are quite densely packed. If you count carefully, there are about three or four hundred people. Among the nearby villages, this village can be considered one of the largest.

Gathered in the open space were not only villagers, but also a group of people with red ornaments on their clothes. Judging from their attire and the elemental fluctuations in the air, these people with red ornaments were all sorcerers.

With just a quick glance, Jiang Han spotted two high-level mages among the group, while the remaining seventy or eighty mages were all experienced veterans skilled in casting spells.

Because Jiang Han, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mo Fan were hiding in the bushes not far from the open area, they could clearly hear the conversation between the group of sorcerers and the villagers.

"Chief, how could we possibly rob you of your money? Aren't you misunderstanding us?" One of the monks, wearing a deep red beret, shook his head, even looking as if he had been wronged.

The village chief was a middle-aged man dressed in black cloth, with a resolute look on his face. Seeing the man in the beret wearing an expression of being wronged, he sneered, "Misunderstanding? I don't want to say anything more to someone like you. I'll say it again: the most valuable thing in the whole village is these herbs. If you're so capable, then pick them all."

"Chief, you've misunderstood me. You should know that I'm a very compassionate and reasonable person. If you don't believe me, you can ask those people I've paid attention to. They've never felt any fear or discomfort towards my actions. On the contrary, they're grateful for my adherence to morality."

"I've said it before, I'm not some heinous villain, just a businessman who's willing to do business with you."

"Your village people, your village houses, your village land, and your village herbs are all now mine. You only need to pay enough money to buy them back, and I will take my brothers away," the man wearing a deep red beret said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the villagers in the open space all looked at the village chief, waiting for his orders. If the chief ordered them to fight, these villagers would take someone down with them even if they died.

"Damn it, these things belong to us. When did they become yours? You stole our things, surrounded our village, and now you want us to pay to buy back what belongs to us? Do you think we're fools?" Just then, a hot-tempered girl rushed out from among the villagers and spat at Xige.

Xige took out a clean tissue and gently wiped his chest, then sniffed the tissue, still damp with the girl's saliva, before chuckling wickedly, "I've already told you how we do business. Whether you pay or not, whether you buy or not, is your business. But if you dare to be so disrespectful to the esteemed leader of the Crimson Ornament Guild again, I don't mind letting you experience in one night the pleasure you would normally only experience in a lifetime!"

Xige's words startled the fiery girl, who turned pale. Immediately, a burly middle-aged man stepped in front of her to shield her.

"I thought this was some kind of festival event. Turns out it's just bandits robbing people here," Mo Fan cursed indignantly.

"They are the infamous Red Ornament Guild. These guys won't be satisfied so easily. If the villagers give them money, they will be facing a real hell." Jiang Han stared coldly at the members of the Red Ornament Guild.

"Then I'll call the captain and the others over right now. We'll wipe them out tonight and rid the people in the nearby waters of this cancer," Jiang Shaoxu said.

While the three were discussing their plan, the conflict between the villagers and the Red Ornament Guild intensified, mainly because the Red Ornament Guild was too greedy and was not giving the villagers a way to survive.

One of the villagers said with dissatisfaction, "No, we absolutely cannot give them the money. If we give them all the money, we won't have the money to hire hunters to help drive away the sea monsters next season, and we will suffer heavy casualties."

Villages living near the sea are constantly threatened by sea monsters, especially during the rainy season. Without a powerful hunter, the villagers would suffer heavy casualties.

"Damn it, do you think we're more merciful than the sirens?" Sigir was furious when he heard the villager's words.

A strange and evil star map flashed by, and then a large amount of cursed red silk shot out from Xige's fingers. The cursed red silk quickly wrapped around the villager who had opened his mouth. Then, the blood-red and ferocious evil spider above Xige's head opened its mouth and took a big breath. The villager immediately felt as if his soul had left his body, and a large amount of blood flowed from his seven orifices.
