The legendary warrior

"Understood, sir!" Ricky, Ashley, Hayes, and Guillermo nodded at Lloyd before they all turned expectantly at Mordechai, waiting for further instructions.

"Guys, I just want to let you know that this mission has something to do with me, and our vice leader has graciously done me this favor," Mordechai said.

"Don't worry. I will give you a handsome reward in return after we are done with this.

I can't reveal too much for now. But I promise that I'll tell you everything I can once we get there, so don't feel hesitant or uncomfortable.

Of course, you can also refuse to accept this mission. It's all up to you. I will respect your decision whether you choose to go or not."

"Ha-ha! What are you talking about? You are now our holy son, and you've given us a direct order. How can we defy you?"

Hayes responded with a kind smile.

"Hey, if you don't stop making fun of me, I'm afraid that we can't be friends anymore,"

Mordechai muttered lowly as a small frown marred the stark features of his face. But as a matter of fact, he did not really get upset.

Hayes didn't seem to take his words seriously, as he let out boisterous and joyful laughter in response. "Ha-ha!"

At this point, Guillermo cut into their conversation.

"I'm sorry, guys, but I have already agreed to explore a secret land with some others. I'm afraid I can't come with you this time," he said.

"No, no, it's okay. Since you set that appointment ahead of time, you should attend to it,"

Mordechai responded lightly.

Ricky, Ashley, and Hayes decided to continue with Mordecai's mission, and they agreed to meet each other outside the wood branch in two days.

Before they took their leave, Lloyd said to Ricky through telepathy, "Your mission is to help Mordechai's family. I hope that you can try to befriend the Desolate Sorcery tribe's members and get to know them as much as you can.

Maybe you can't change the fact that they would become cruel once they activate their blood power. However, it would be best if you can dissuade them from hurting other creatures."

"I understand, sir. I'll try my best,"

Ricky sincerely promised.
