Pursuit

Three days later, the storm subsided, and Li Yan led Fern back to the magical city of Äußerst. Fern went to the Magic Continent Association to collect her First-Class Mage Medal and benefits, while Li Yan took Frieren to find that Duncan.

Before Fern went to the Magic Continent Association, Li Yan specially placed a location spell on Fern, so that Fern could find him at any time and leave instantly without Fern needing to look for him, thus preventing him from being caught by his Grandmaster.

In the familiar restaurant, Li Yan found Duncan eating a steak. He seemed to be waiting for him. Not knowing where to look, he could only pin his hopes on the restaurant where they had once had dinner together.

"I've finally waited for you."

Duncan glanced at Li Yan and Frieren expressionlessly. If he didn't know Frieren's relationship with Serie, the president of the Magic Continent Association, he would have already considered Li Yan's previous words as a lie.

"So, are you going to the Fortress City of Weise? Macht is the Lord there."

Li Yan sat down next to Duncan with a smile and skillfully ordered dozens of plates of barbecue.

"I learned her Curse Reversal Magic from Serie a couple of days ago, not for any other reason than to be able to fight against Macht."

Duncan was acutely aware that if Li Yan's previous words were a lie, then he would inevitably have to face Macht's Diagoldze, and as a curse of goldification, only Curse Reversal Magic could resist it.

"So, Duncan, you haven't believed me all along? Then why are you still waiting for me here?"

Li Yan rested her chin on her hand, looking at Duncan was fully prepared, with amusement.

"I hope... I hope everything you've said is true, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance. That's why I've been waiting for you here these past few days."

Duncan spoke calmly, but his legs had already begun to tremble. He was already First-Class Mage and had experienced many things, but the thought of seeing his deceased loved ones again still made his legs tremble uncontrollably.

"What do you mean one in ten thousand? It's one hundred percent!"

Li Yan didn't hold back in correcting Duncan's mistake; he never did anything he wasn't sure of.

When do we leave?

Duncan calmed himself down and stared intently at Li Yan and Frieren. He knew that this time, he would have to rely entirely on them to bring his beloved wife back to life.

Is your medical team ready?

Li Yan countered with a question.

Duncan nodded. "After you left, I immediately contacted the most professional medical team in the Kingdom specializing in my wife's illness. As long as she has a breath left, they can cure her."

"Then after we finish eating and pick up Fern, we'll get ready to leave."

Li Yan calmly sipped his juice while serving Frieren the leftover grilled meat he couldn't finish.

"Senior, there's still your drool on this barbecue."

Frieren frowned and complained with dissatisfaction.

"Junior Sister, I haven't looked down on you at all. Didn't your senior brother finish the leftover roast meat for you? Have you forgotten how your senior brother raised you with pain and care? If it weren't for your senior brother carrying you away back then, you would have been killed by those Greater Demons long ago. And now you're starting to look down on your senior brother."

Li Yan sighed and covered her face with her hands, feigning disappointment.

"No... no, senior brother. I thought you liked eating my leftovers, so I kept leaving them for you. Also, it's not that I dislike you, senior brother, but could you please not give me your leftovers next time?" Frieren squinted, looking dejected. She knew that her senior brother's unfinished food would be given to her to eat again, even though she was already full.

Looking at the nearly empty dining table, Li Yan glanced at the sky. According to the time, Fern should have already obtained the magic she wanted from her Grandmaster.

Upon sensing that Fern's location had shifted to the inn to the northwest, Li Yan immediately used Space Magic to teleport from Fern's position.

At that moment, Philon, who was wondering why Fern Godfather had made her wander around the town several times, felt a spatial fluctuation. In just an instant, Li Yan appeared in front of her.

"Godfather, do you know what kind of magic I've acquired?"

Before Fern could rush over in delight, Li Yan had already picked her up and begun Spatial Movement.

The next second, Li Yan's teleportation stopped on the hotel roof, and a petite figure flew through the air, looking at Li Yan who was holding Fern with an arrogant expression.

"Run! Why aren't you running? I've set up Spatial Barrier around the entire town. I knew you'd use your Space Magic to escape. Now, surrounded by dozens of spatial Sealing Barriers, where can you run to?"

Serie's smile grew even wider. Her snow-white feet lightly touched the roof of the inn. The Mana her fluctuated violently, obscuring the clear sky. Only a faint ray of light stubbornly shone on Li Yan's position.

"Grandmaster, I was really wrong."

Li Yan put down Fern, whom he was holding, and looked helplessly in the direction of his Grandmaster. He could feel his Grandmaster's seriousness, and the restrictive Mana was slowly breaking down.

"A Yan, don't even think about running away. Just come back with me obediently, and I'll take good care of you."

Serie licked her lips, and several First-Class Mages suddenly appeared around her. Zanze looked at Li Yan, who was surrounded, with some embarrassment.

Upon hearing Serie's words, Genao's face showed disbelief. He hadn't expected that the other party was actually the president's baby. He was worried that if he injured her, he might be retaliated against.

"Sigh, it seems there's no other way."

Li Yan drew the Holy Sword from his Storage Alternate Space. His Grandmaster was using Mana Suppression Magic, was no ordinary person to be trifled with. If he wasn't careful, he could easily be beaten to a pulp by his Grandmaster.

As the Holy Sword was drawn, a solemn expression appeared on the faces of the first -First-Class Mages, as they all sensed a powerful magical fluctuation emanating from Holy Sword.

A great battle was about to break out. Facing his Grandmaster's all-out magical attack, Li Yan wielded his Holy Sword and began to break through the spatial Sealing Barrier. If one sword could not break the barrier, he would use two. Of course, several layers of Defensive Magic automatically covered the front, and all the magic that came at him was blocked by magic Shields of various attributes.

"Release the barrier that is blocking."

Understanding Li Yan's intentions, Serie instructed the First-Class Mages and then rushed towards Li Yan's location.

Seeing his Grandmaster, a mage, charging forward, Li Yan's movements as he slashed at the Barrier Magic became faster and faster. As countless Defensive Magic were broken by Serie one by one, Li Yan also picked up Fern and performed Spatial Leap. With each landing point, the Holy Sword would shatter the barrier that was blocking it.

"A Yan, give up. You can't escape now. Even if you shatter all the spatial Sealing Magic, the dozens of location spells on Fern are enough for me to find you. Just come back with me obediently, and I promise I won't beat you up."

Serie followed at a leisurely pace, casually shattering the Defensive Magic and Mechanical Spiders that Li Yan had released to block her.

"Grandmaster, please don't chase after me. Give me some time, and I'll explain everything to you later."

Li Yan didn't believe his Grandmaster would let him go. After all, he still had the Little Bear pants on his body. Such a humiliation would surely lead to him being torn to pieces if he were caught.
