Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 634  Three

After a while, the trio had moved into another room. Max was seated on a sofa facing Pauline, and Aunt Su, who had an awkward look on her face.

She had just finished telling him that Pauline indeed had no ill intent behind her words. Her father was monogamous, and her grandfather was the same. So, when she saw other people who had multiple wives, or multiple men for that matter, she would become curious if they loved each other as much as his mother and father, and his grandmother and grandfather loved each other, or were together just for benefits or status.

"So, you just wanted to test us?" Max said as he gave her a look that made Pauline fume in embarrassment.

"Yes." She glared at him, "But I hadn't expected her and you to react so violently. No one else had acted the same even if I said even meaner things to them."

As she said this, she subconsciously touched her shoulder blade that had now recovered thanks to Aunt Su's healing potion.

Max just shook his head at this, not wanting to indulge her any longer. He then said, "Tell me what's the plan? How are you going to send us out of the city?"

Pauline snorted, not liking his dismissive attitude. Although she was at fault, she had already apologized and now wanted him to do the same for attacking her. But he clearly had no such intention, which made her grit her teeth in frustration.

However, when Aunt Su nudged her, she took a deep breath and said, "Until a few days, the people our and our neighbor kingdoms had sent were enough to stop the demons from attacking the kingdoms en masse.

However, as more and more demon armies arrived, those small groups of people can't stop them.

Since the demons have several King rank demons leading them, our kingdoms can't do much even if all of our King Rank Mages move out. Ha!"

Pauline scoffed when she said the last part which made him raise his brows.

Aunt Su glared at her, making her compose herself and continue, "The central plains' forces already know this situation and their people will arrive here in two days if they are not intercepted by the demons on the way, which unfortunately has been happening a lot for the past few days.

It seems the demons are really serious this time."

She thoughtfully muttered, causing Aunt Su to sigh and say, "Little Paul, Focus!"

"Ah, sorry." Pauline snapped back to her senses and continued. "So, as I was saying, if nothing goes wrong, they will arrive in two days and will stay for a day in the city. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, they will take all mages who have registered themselves with them to the battlefront."

"Now, the plan is simple. We just need you to get recruited and have you there when they leave. Once you are with them, no one, not even the King Azaroth himself, would dare to stop you from leaving the city."

Max nodded in understanding but kept silent, urging her to continue.

"Although the plan is simple, once other noble families and the Royal family realize it, which I'm sure they will, if they have not already, they will do everything to stop you from registering, let alone letting you be present for the roll call."

"So, what are you going to do about it?" Max asked,

"Well, as my father may have already told you, while we can do everything it takes to ensure your safety if you are within our estate, once you step outside, we won't be able to do it. Therefore, we have to resort to other methods…"

Saying this, she took out three metal masks and threw them toward him. Max caught them and immediately felt a soothing, icy chill.

"These three masks are my grandma and grandpa's most cherished creations. Once you drop a few drops of your blood essence on them, and inject some of your mana and aura, they'll be bound to you. Then, when you activate them, they'll change your facial features, your mana and aura signature, making sure no one can recognise you."

Pauline looked at the masks in his hand with obvious reluctance before saying.

"However, those at the peak of the King realm or higher can see through its disguise. Also, we only have these three, not enough for all of you."

Max felt the masks and compared them to the [Mask of Terra] he bought from the system shop for Amara. These were obviously of much lower quality and level, but it was still quite amazing for her grandparents to forge something like them.

'They are a family of weaponsmiths alright.'

He put the masks away and stood up as he said, "Give your father my thanks. I will try to heal as many of your family members as I can in the next three days."

Saying this, he turned around and was about to walk out when Pauline called out.

"Wait!"

"Hm? What is it?" He asked, turning around.

Pauline looked at strangely and asked, "You don't doubt we have more of these masks but aren't giving them to you to keep your friends here?"

Aunt Su smiled wryly and shook her head at her question.

Max also smiled and said, "Now I can believe what your Aunt Su had said. You really had no ill intention."

Saying this, he left the room, leaving a frowning Pauline.

She looked at Aunt Su and asked with an uncertain look on her face, "Aunt Su, what did he mean by that?"

Aunt Su patted her head, "From your question just now, he must have realized how pure your heart is. That's why he said that."

"But why do I feel as if he had just looked down on me?" Pauline asked. "You are overthinking this, Miss Pauline." Aunt Su forced a smile.

…

When Max returned, everyone was waiting for him in Emily's house.

After he told them everything, he put the masks on the table. "With these, only three of us can leave."

While Emily furrowed her brows, displeased the Fuller family, Ray and Shasha became worried. With Emily and Lily here, they knew they wouldn't be the ones to use them.
