RISE OF EROS

The old wizards were already worried about Oliver's presence because although they were all at the super expert level, it was obvious that Oliver was more powerful than any of them. However, they were still confident since they were 5 against 1.

However, the appearance of an expert even more powerful than him made them nervous. If they added to that the presence of Castor, who, although he is considerably weaker, they could not disregard him or they would be in danger.

They still thought they could handle the three of them, but they were sure that it would be a difficult battle and that they would probably suffer a heavy loss even if they won the battle, so that was why they now were reevaluating the situation.

Now more than ever they wanted to know what had happened so that a force like the three in front of them would appear to attack them. However, at that time the situation changed again.

While these 5 elders were the most powerful in the Mage Union, that did not mean that there were not more experts and these were the ones who had appeared. About 10 mages of different levels appeared alongside the elders.

Although they were not very powerful, there were two that were almost on the same level as Castor, so now, Oliver and the others were the ones under pressure. Seeing the arrival of their companions, the five old wizards regain their confidence.

They knew they now had the advantage and returned to their look of altruism and arrogance, but to their surprise, they didn't find the look of fear on Oliver and the others as they expected.

The elder wizards immediately wrinkled their eyebrows, as this was not normal. No one who was outnumbered and outpowered would remain so calm unless they had something up their sleeve, so they immediately began scanning the surroundings.

Their first thought was that they must have more companions and they were not wrong. The elders had not scanned the surroundings very far when about 20 barbarian experts appeared.

The elders and other wizards were surprised by the barbarians' visit, but they never thought that they would come to help Oliver and the others. In fact, the 5 wizard elders recognized the barbarian elder advisor within the group and thought that they had come because they sensed the disturbance.

Believing that one of the elder magicians approached the old barbarian advisor and politely said, "Elder Bilis, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Some ignorant youths came to provoke us, but they will be cleaned up quickly. Your intervention is not necessary."

Although he was courteous, you could still notice his tone of arrogance characteristic of the magicians of this city. No one knew why they considered themselves better than everyone, but elder Bilis didn't care about his tone.

He didn't even answer him, instead, he moved closer to Oliver and the others and respectfully, but not submissively, asked, "Do you need our help or did you just come to notify them?"

The old man's question surprised everyone present. Not only were the magicians stunned, but everyone who was secretly watching the spectacle was shocked.

It was obvious that the movement of so many experts would alert everyone in the city, so, many experts from different organizations were hidden, watching what was happening.

While they expected a show, they never expected the barbarians to back Oliver's group. These observers knew that Oliver and the others belonged to the Star Palace, as it was not an establishment that went unnoticed.

It must be remembered that they had just arrived and had caused quite a stir by receiving the badge of admission to the society of assassins and very few had that, not to mention someone who was new in the city.

For this reason, everyone had an eye on this place, but they were unaware that they had relations with the barbarians, and not only that but that it was so close that the barbarians sent 20 experts and an elderly advisor to help.

Oliver looked at the old barbarian named Bilis and measured him in strength and was surprised to see that he had a strength similar to Sansa, but he did not reflect it on his face, on the contrary, he remained calm and with the same respect that the elder Bilis showed, replied, "The young master's orders were only to hand over the three wizard dogs."

Oliver did not miss the opportunity to further humiliate the Mages Union, calling the three who had caused damage to the Star Palace, "Dogs", but he did not pay attention to their expressions.

Elder Bilis only nodded at his words and turned to see the old wizard who had spoken to him before, and said, "You heard. Train your men better," then he turned to look at Oliver and asked, "Can we accompany you? I would like to speak to your young master."

Ignoring the wizards, Oliver responded, "Sure, no problem," and then he began to move in the company of Castor and Sansa towards the Star Palace. The barbarians followed them, leaving the magicians dumbfounded.

Some of them were burning with anger at the treatment they were being given, but they were not stupid enough to say or do anything because they knew that they had no chance of victory.

Unlike the temperamental mages filled with anger, the 5 super expert elders and the hidden observers had a serious expression. They well understood the implications of the barbarians protecting Oliver and the others.

A power that should not be offended had appeared in the city. Although when the Star Palace received the badge of admission to the Assassin Society it had fallen into everyone's eyes, this did not mean that they were considered powerful.

Although the Assassin Society has powerful experts, they are not a top-level organization in the city like the Mage Union, so while they were careful, they were not afraid of them, but now things have changed.

Everyone knew that this is a city of barbarians and the main force are them, especially since they have a demigod protecting them, so upon knowing that Star Palace was protected by them, everyone immediately went to tell their leaders what occurred.

The elders of the Wizard Union were not negligent either and immediately took the three naked and beaten wizards and took them inside the building for interrogation.

It didn't take long for Oliver and the others to arrive at Star Palace. The barbarians did not enter but moved to the vicinity of the establishment to act as guards, but Elder Bilis did enter.

Following Oliver, Sansa and Castor reached the office, but upon entering they froze because old man Douma and old woman Anka were sitting in front of Andrew drinking wine as if they were close friends.

Elder Bilis was the most shocked by this image because they had never seen Douma so casually, not even with the head of the city. The three who were speaking calmly noticed the visitors and Andrew was the first to speak, "Hey guys, is everything okay?".

Oliver who seemed to be the one who recovered the fastest responded, "Everything is ok thanks to Elder Bilis and his men." With these words, Andrew noticed the old barbarian behind them and quickly thanked him, "Is that so? Well, I appreciate the help, Elder Bilis."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing his words, Elder Bilis regained his composure and responded urgently, "There is no need, I just did what I should," but at that moment Douma's words were heard, "Good job."

Although short and a little insensitive, those words were not superficial. Elder Bilis trembled upon hearing them and immediately bowed respectfully. Douma for the city is considered a guardian, but for the barbarians, he is almost a deity, so his words are significant.

Elder Bilis wanted to talk to Andrew, but seeing Douma there, he decided to leave, so after a polite bow he left. Douma didn't say anything, but now it was Elder Anka's time to ask in surprise, "Sansa?"

Sansa looked at Elder Anka and respectfully bowed saying, "Greetings Elder Anka." The old woman looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?", but before Sansa could answer Andrew said, "Well, Sansa became my guardian Castor's wife and now holds the same title."

Elder Anka and Elder Douma were surprised at Andrew's words because they knew the meaning of being a guardian for a god candidate. The two old people recovered quickly and Elder Anka even said, "Congratulations Sansa."

She paused and added, "And to think you'd be a loner all your life. Who would have thought you were waiting for the jackpot?" The comment made everyone laugh, but Sansa was embarrassed.

Her face turned tomato red up to her neck and she admonished Elder Anka, "Please don't bully me like that," but it was obvious that she wasn't really upset. Elder Anka got up and, approaching her, caressed her head and said with maternal tenderness, "I was happy for you."

After this, Sansa formally introduced Castor as her husband and Oliver told everything that had happened. After listening, Douma said, "Well boy, you created a big problem this time. Surely everyone in town knows about you now."

"Well, acting low-key isn't paying off for me, so it's better to act haughty," Andrew said with a sigh, which made Douma smile, and spoke again, "Don't worry, with me and Anka here, no one will bother you."

"I appreciate the help, elders," Andrew responded solemnly and respectfully, to which the elders just waved their hands as if they were saying that it was nothing. Then, Elder Anka said, "Well, now I would like to know, when will you bring some of my girls here?"

Douma immediately became interested, because he knew that the Amazons would come to strengthen the relationships lost with the barbarians a millennium ago and that it an important matter.
