Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 477 - 379: Incorrigible!

Zhao Yi remembered that when he used to read western fantasy novels, the mages in the Magic World always showed great respect to the Magic Gods.

Some mages would even specifically praise the Magic God while chanting magic spells.

But this old guy in the green robe seemed to have no respect for the Magic God.

Zhao Yi thought this was another secret of the Magic World, and he was immediately intrigued, eagerly waiting for the mystery to be unveiled.

Hertz didn’t notice Zhao Yi’s expression and calmly said, "Once I inherit the position of Undead Magic God, I’ll be at the Sage Level, and won’t need to show respect to other Magic Gods!"

Holy crap!

Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched, and he was suddenly speechless.

He thought this old guy was so bold because he had triggered some secret of the Magic World, but it turned out it’s just because he’s rebellious.

Isn’t this just like being stubborn?

Zhao Yi shook his head and asked, "So do you have any direction? How do you plan to obtain the position of Undead Magic God?"

Hertz was stunned, clearly stumped by Zhao Yi’s question.

Zhao Yi was even more speechless.

He’s started to doubt whether these Great Cultivators from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds have burned out their brains while cultivating.

This old man doesn’t even know how to become an Undead Magic God, yet he’s already dreaming about equaling other Magic Gods.

The blunt Zhao Yi didn’t know what to say.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi directly said, "If you don’t know what to do, I do have a suggestion. Want to hear it?"

Hertz looked at Zhao Yi skeptically, clearly doubting his capability.

Zhao Yi didn’t explain and directly said, "There’s actually a very clear logic here that you’ve always overlooked."

"What logic?" Hertz asked instinctively.

Zhao Yi asked, "When you hear the title Undead Magic God, what’s the first thing you think of?"

This was something Hertz clearly understood.

He replied without hesitation, "Supreme power, invincible strength!"

"Is that all?" Zhao Yi was dumbfounded.

Hertz paused, puzzled, and asked, "Is there something else?"

Zhao Yi exclaimed frustrated, "Undead, the undead! When you hear the name Undead Mage, isn’t the first thing you should think of the undead? And when you think of the undead, what comes to your mind?"

Hertz’s eyes brightened: "Thinking of the undead, I thought of the vacancy in the Undead Element for the Magic God!"

"Holy crap!" Zhao Yi almost exploded with anger.

He couldn’t understand why the old fool was so stupid that even when presented with an obvious answer, he couldn’t grasp it.

Seeing Zhao Yi’s frustration, Hertz naively asked, "Isn’t that right?"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, unwilling to beat around the bush any further, and directly said, "When you think of the Undead Magic God, the first thought should be Undead Magic! If you want to obtain the position of Undead Magic God, first you need to be an Undead Mage! You’re a Wood Element Mage, trying to grab the Undead Element’s Magic God position. Not to mention whether you can succeed, aren’t you afraid the Wood Element Magic God might just swat you flat?"

Hertz was startled for a moment, then his expression changed.

"You’re right; that’s exactly how it is!"

"No kidding! Why would I be telling you this if it wasn’t right?"

Zhao Yi spat at Hertz, then seriously said, "So, what you need to do first is find an Undead Mage to learn some Undead Magic from. Only then can you obtain a ticket to contend for the position of Undead Magic God!"

Hertz was completely convinced by Zhao Yi.

While listening to Zhao Yi’s words, he nodded like a schoolboy, just short of taking notes.

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he cautiously asked, "Then where should I go to find an Undead Mage?"

Hmm?

This time Zhao Yi was completely at a loss.

This old fool was unprepared yet dared to vie for the position of Magic God?

Where did his confidence come from?

Was it just because he had an ugly, wrinkled old face?

Zhao Yi sighed, then decided to cut to the chase: "Start at the Pegasus Grassland?"

Upon hearing this, Hertz initially nodded instinctively, then suddenly paused.

He asked, bewildered, "Are there Undead Mages in the Pegasus Grassland?"

Zhao Yi countered, "Do you know where they are?"

Hertz shook his head repeatedly: "Undead Mages are cursed people; I’ve never interacted with them, so naturally, I don’t know where they are!"

"That’s my point!" Zhao Yi replied irritatedly, "Since you don’t know where to find Undead Mages, just pick a place to start looking. You won’t find an Undead Mage standing still!"

Hertz was immediately moved: "If there’s no direction, then take the first step outward!"

Chewing over this sentence a few times, Hertz suddenly bowed deeply to Zhao Yi.

Hertz solemnly declared, "Thank you for teaching me this principle. From now on, you’re my teacher! Rest assured, even if I can’t become the Undead Magic God, I won’t let anyone harm you because you are my dearest and most respected teacher!"

Zhao Yi’s mouth twitched, showing a complex expression on his face.

He truly didn’t want to get involved with Hertz.

Not because of different positions or strength.

In contrast, although Zhao Yi didn’t know Hertz’s position in the Magic World, the fact that all those different creatures followed him indicated that this old man was anything but simple.

The Magic World is a place where the strong prey on the weak, and without the appropriate strength, Hertz couldn’t possibly attain his current status.

So, if Zhao Yi really accepted Hertz as a disciple, the news would surely cause a great stir in the Magic World.

The reason Zhao Yi hesitated was because he found Hertz too dull-witted!

"Fine, if it makes you happy."

Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, ultimately choosing not to refuse outright.

After finding the Unicorn, Zhao Yi still needed Hertz’s help for a transplant surgery.

What if the old guy sabotaged the surgery?

Seeing Zhao Yi agree, a serious Hertz bowed again.

"The student pays respects to the teacher!"

Zhao Yi nodded, considering it an acknowledgment.

Though he didn’t react much, Xu Yue’Er was internally shocked.

As a direct victim of Hertz’s magic, Xu Yue’Er had been trapped by his Vine Technique multiple times and feared his magic.

Though Xu Yue’Er wasn’t weak, and the Dragon Race was sufficiently resilient, against Hertz’s simplest Vine Technique, she couldn’t even fight back.

Yet, such a formidable mage willingly paid respects to Zhao Yi as a disciple; Xu Yue’Er was awestruck.

Simultaneously, she felt proud of her earlier decision to decisively align with Zhao Yi.

For the Crown Prince of Great Xia to command the submission of a top Magic World mage speaks volumes.

Xu Yue’Er was climbing high on Zhao Yi’s influence, bringing hope for the Dragon Race’s revival!
