Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 460 Jiang Han's shrewd maneuvers, the Gold War Hunters arrive.

Just as Lingling had located the Black Vatican's stronghold within the manor and was preparing to continue her investigation, she encountered a city-wide demon-hunting team that came to investigate. Lingling's cheeks puffed up in anger, and her adorable little face made Jiang Han unable to resist pinching them a few times.

"Jiang Han, what are you doing?" Lingling angrily slapped away Jiang Han's hand that was pinching her cheek.

She was analyzing the situation for everyone, explaining why Jiang Han was pinching her cheek—what an awful guy!

"Your face is really soft," Jiang Han said with a smile.

Lingling is such a cute little girl. Every time Jiang Han saw her before, he had the urge to pinch her cheeks, but she always dodged him. Now that he finally met Lingling when she was angry, Jiang Han was determined not to miss this good opportunity to pinch her cheeks.

The smooth and soft texture feels really nice, and paired with Lingling's puffed-up little face, it's just so cute!!

"Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮" Lingling rolled her eyes and ignored Jiang Han, continuing, "I wonder which idiot from the Hunter's Alliance sent this. Isn't coming at this time just alerting them?"

"Perhaps the Hunter Alliance received some information, which is why they sent them here," Mo Fan said thoughtfully.

"Another possibility is that someone did it on purpose," Jiang Han said casually, gazing at the lush lawn outside the window.

"Hmm," Mu Ningxue had been investigating a lot about the disaster in the ancient capital and Salang during this period. She did not believe that Salang alone could break through various blockades and escape from China.

The Trial Council has a spiritual oath that can prevent the Black Church from infiltrating, but there are significant differences and conflicts between internal factions. As for the Hunter Alliance, who knows how well it has been infiltrated by Salang.

"Although the city's monster-hunting team might alert them, they can also help us attract the Black Vatican's attention, making our subsequent investigation much easier," Lingling continued.

"Okay, let's continue eating, drinking, and playing!" Mo Fan said excitedly.

During the next few days of their trip, Jiang Han, Mo Fan, Lingling, and Mu Ningxue encountered a group of young people visiting the manor. Well, one of them even set his sights on Mu Ningxue.

After recognizing Zhao Pinlin as the cannon fodder Little Karami from the original story, Jiang Han became too lazy to pay him any more attention. Once Zhao Pinlin joined the Black Vatican, it would be a good return. As for the other members of their team, they would still save Jiang Han if they could.

In Jiang Han's eyes, those young people who hadn't even reached the intermediate level were no different from cannon fodder when they fought against the Black Vatican.

With Jiang Han involved, Zhao Pinlin was unable to control Wang Xuxu as he did in the original story, which naturally prevented him from sacrificing Wang Xuxu and turning her into a black beast demon.

During the day, Jiang Han, Lingling, Mu Ningxue, and Mo Fan explored various parts of the manor. At night, Mu Ningxue stayed in the room with Lingling, while Jiang Han and Mo Fan explored the manor at night. It was during this time that Wang Xuxu was rescued by Mo Fan.

It must be said that Zhao Pinlin was really lucky. If Fang Shaoli hadn't saved him, Zhao Pinlin would have been crushed to death by Mo Fan in the cursed pool in the dark room.

······

Inside the Orange Tower Palace, Fang Shaoli casually tossed Zhao Pinlin, whom she had just rescued, to the ground. The pain from his charred skin touching the floor made Zhao Pinlin gasp, but he dared not utter a sound because of Fang Shaoli and the others in the palace, and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

"Shadow magicians, it seems the Inquisition has already infiltrated the area," Fang Shaoli murmured, gazing at the villa district.

"My lord, what should we do next?" asked the black-clad priest Lu Geng.

Fang Shaoli walked slowly towards the blood-red chair in the hall, then turned around and sat down, crossing her long legs. Her high heels, which were over ten centimeters high, tapped lightly on the ground. Fang Shaoli propped her head up and thought about her next plan.

After a long while, Fang Shaoli said with a smile, "Don't worry about those lambs that infiltrated the manor. Remember to give Nighthawk, who is leading the team, a big gift when he arrives on the island!"

"They wiped out all our companions in the Shanghai area. It would be a real breach of hospitality not to give them a big gift."

Meanwhile, with the help of Master Mintian, thousands of members of the Golden War Hunters entered Chongming Island in batches from various directions. Unbeknownst to them, they were under the surveillance of the Black Vatican after they entered the island.

After the members of the Golden War Hunters reunited in a wilderness area on the island, their leader, Ge Ming, summoned the captains of each squad to discuss their next move.

Pan Jin, the captain of the first squad of the Golden War Hunters, spread out the map left to them by Master Mintian, and then pointed to the three locations marked on the map, saying, "Captain, Old Min has already investigated. The Black Vatican's stronghold is in those three ranches and estates."

"We've finally found those bastards from the Black Vatican. This time, we absolutely cannot let them get away with this."

"If our plan succeeds this time, our Golden War Hunter Group might even surpass the Mad Lion Hunter Group in the ranking of domestic hunter mage groups."

"But will our actions affect the trial committee's plans? If so, we might be held accountable by the trial committee."

"Are you scared? If you are, you should go home and comfort your wife and kids."

"Who's afraid? I'm just stating my opinion."

"·····"

Many of the squad leaders in the Gold War Hunters began to fantasize about the rich rewards they would reap after completing this mission. Of course, there were also some who were more level-headed, such as Qin Yu, the squad leader who advised the leader to be cautious.

The latest novel is first published here!

Qin Yu is a rather thin person. The fact that he was able to become the captain of the hunter team, and that his team always completed every mission with zero casualties, is all thanks to Qin Yu's cautious nature.

Although the Inquisition issued the bounty this time, and the reward for completing it will be incredibly generous, is the Black Vatican really that easy to deal with?

Furthermore, if they were to launch a direct assault on those three manors, success would be fine, but failure would alert the Black Vatican on the island and also affect the arrangements for the upcoming trial on the island.

Therefore, Qin Yu hoped that the leader, Ge Ming, could reconsider and not rush to surround the manor based solely on the information provided by Master Mintian.

Unfortunately, Ge Ming did not heed his advice, because in Ge Ming's view, the troublesome cardinal had already escaped, and the remaining people in this stronghold could not possibly be a match for their Golden War Hunters.

You should know that their Golden War Hunters Group is one of the top five demon-hunting teams in China. In addition to him, who has reached the peak of the high-level, there are seven squad leaders who have reached the high-level, more than two hundred mid-level mages, and more than eight hundred beginner mages. How could so many people not be able to take down a stronghold of the Black Church?

Ge Ming laughed and said, "Don't worry, our plan this time will definitely be foolproof. Inform the brothers to head to Zhenming Town as quickly as possible and surround the three manors. Make sure not a single Black Vatican scum escapes!"

What Ge Ming didn't know was that it was because of his miscalculation that his hunter team lost nearly a hundred people in this mission.
