The Genius Mage

Chapter 344: Play Along

When they were in the polar glaciers, the members of the Dragon Slaying Squad had not had a proper meal. The delicacies on the table were a great temptation.

However, when they thought about how something was wrong with Felt, they were a little hesitant.

“Audrey, what should we do?” Klein asked in a low voice.

Audrey was also thinking quickly in her mind. Her eyes looked around, and she already had an idea.

“There shouldn’t be any problem with the food. Everyone, eat some,” Audrey said after thinking for a while.

If they did not eat at all, Felt would have seen them and become suspicious. After weighing the pros and cons, Audrey could only choose to eat. Fortunately, she had just looked at the food and did not think there was anything special about it.

Like an alchemist, she was susceptible to smells, so Audrey could immediately smell anything else added to the food.

Seeing that everyone was still worried, Audrey said again, “There’s no problem with the food. Don’t worry, everyone. We’ve been here for so many days, but we haven’t had a proper meal.”

“That’s good. Then I’ll have a good meal first,” Cole said with a smile and let out a sigh of relief.

The others also let their guard down and began to eat in large mouthfuls.

In a corner not far away, a figure was staring at them. Seeing the Dragon Slaying Squad eating with ease, Felt’s lips curled into a cunning and cold smile.

“Burp! I didn’t expect these foods to be so delicious.” Klein burped, looking exceptionally satisfied.

Audrey chuckled. These foods were only ordinary. It was only because they found them delicious. After all, everyone had not eaten seriously in the polar glaciers for a long time.

It was just a psychological effect, but as long as they ate happily, it was fine.

She stopped smiling and was about to speak when a strange smell entered her nose. Audrey immediately frowned.

Perhaps others would not detect it, but she could easily see this smell as a high-level alchemist. This was the bewitching powder. It was colorless and odorless, allowing one to absorb it quickly before falling into a coma.

So they were waiting for them here.

Audrey snorted in her heart and quickly winked at her teammates. Then, she said in a low voice, “Bewitching powder, hold your breath.”

“What should we do?” Adrian winked at Audrey as well.

“Play along.” Audrey was very calm. Her azure eyes flickered for a moment.

A moment later, the members of the Dragon Slaying Squad collapsed on the table.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from afar. The few of them instantly became nervous. Although they did not open their eyes, Audrey could already sense that the person who had come was Felt.

There was indeed something wrong with him. Fortunately, she had sensed it early. Otherwise, she would have been in danger.

However, she wanted to see what Felt was going to do.

“Tie them up and bring them to the ceremony later,” Felt said coldly. He did not sound like a kind tone when he talked to them a few days ago.

Following that, there were a few footsteps. It seemed like several people came forward and tied Audrey and the others up neatly.

Soon, they were taken to another place, and Felt left with the group.

At this moment, Audrey slowly opened her eyes and looked around. This place seemed to be an ice chamber.

“What are they going to do to us?” Hobart said with a serious face, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

“I’m not sure, but they said that they were going to bring us to the ritual. It must have something to do with the ritual,” Audrey responded calmly, her eyes cold.

It turned out that Felt had already planned to tell her about the ceremony.

Hmph, his plan was really laudable, but he still could not hide it from her.

“This old man doesn’t have any good intentions!” At this moment, Cole was already cursing angrily. “To think that we still wanted to help him save the village. How could he treat us like this? This is too much.”

Hearing this, Audrey sneered, “Do you really think that he wants us to help him save the village? I think this is just an excuse to keep us here. This is probably not what he wants to do.”

“Then what is it?” Klein asked in confusion. From the beginning to the end, he did not understand what Felt was thinking.

“We’ll know in a while.” Audrey smiled mysteriously and didn’t continue.

At this moment, a voice came from outside. The few of them hurriedly closed their eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

Judging from the voice, it was not Felt.

“What do you think the boss is going to do with them?” A male voice asked in a low voice.

“What else can we do? Of course, we can use them to cultivate,” another person retorted. “These few people are all extraordinary. If we use their energy to cultivate, we’ll definitely be able to improve greatly.”

Hearing this, Cole, who was standing by the side, clenched his fists tightly.

Sensing Cole’s anger, Audrey hurriedly nudged him, signaling him to calm down. Exposing himself now would only make her more dangerous.

Audrey did not expect Elder Felt to be on the same side as the mysterious man. Furthermore, he had designs on the few of them. What a brilliant plan.

Although she did not know how Felt was going to use them to improve his cultivation, Audrey and the others knew that it would be very dangerous for them.

They were going to play along to see Felt’s true colors and his intentions.

As the footsteps got closer, the voices of the few of them stopped abruptly. Following that, Audrey felt herself and her teammates being dragged out one after another.

There seemed to be some noise outside. Audrey guessed that they had probably arrived at the ice platform.

Following that, she was lifted up by someone. It was as if she was tied to a wooden stick, making it difficult for her to move.

However, this was just a casual movement by Audrey. If she were to use magic or combat aura, these few ropes would not be able to trap her.
