Runemaster in the Last Days

"Yes?" Riya asked when she saw Samuel coming over.

"Do you want to have some talk with him?" Samuel pointed at Leader Kin, who was so exhausted that he was almost unable to stand up straight. Aside from the researchers who were relatively fine because they were being carried, the others were either lying down or struggling to stand up.

Their task to guard the place could be said to be almost unable to be completed.

But for the sake of their survival, they could only try their best to stay focus and try to guard this place.

"Is it possible not to disclose my identity?" Riya asked. She felt that just asking some request through Samuel was already very good. Because she was not very good at negotiation and didn't want to waste time on it either.

Rather than thinking and messing around about this matter, isn't it better to focus on improving her strength and make more formations?

At the very least, this was what Riya thought in her mind.

"It should be possible." Samuel smiled.

If they didn't want to, he could just make a trip specifically to Continent Z's Capital City to talk with them about this matter. A few rank 4 spells should be more than enough to coerce those people unless they asked for help from the magicians from the Magic Association.

"Then I want to."

"Ok."

With that, the two of them walked towards Leader Kin.

…

Leader Kin felt that his work pressure was too great.

Just after they came out of the crack, Samuel and Riya approached him to let them all sign an agreement not to disclose Riya's identity. Otherwise, Riya would not agree to follow their previous agreement.

After all, Riya could live anywhere she wanted with her ability.

For this matter, Leader Kin had to report to Mr. A and only after receiving approval from Mr. A did he agree.

Moreover, Mr. A actually felt that this was good.

With no one knowing Riya's real identity and let the negotiation passed through Samuel, it would be easier for them too. Because Riya is basically unaffiliated and didn't exactly have anyone whom she cared for aside from a few friends.

But could friends be worth more than family?

Mr. A was not sure.

And these people who were close to Riya were also close to Amelia, which made it very difficult for them to do anything to them even if they wanted to.

In this way, the researchers all signed an agreement.

"Do we have to sign an agreement too?" Amelia asked when she saw her brother coming to her.

"No." Samuel shook his head.

"That's great." Amelia laughed.

"Are you planning to reveal this matter to others?"

"Of course not! The fewer people who know, the better it would be!" Amelia quickly denied it.

Sean looked at his sister suspiciously. "Oh? Why is that?"

"So that she could… I mean, so that not many people will bother her."

"I think you don't want others to find out because you want to monopolize her talisman and magic scrolls."

Amelia coughed when she heard that and looked away guiltily. She did want Riya to let her get more talisman and magic scrolls. After all, those things were really good and very convenient to use.

Of course, she also didn't want too many people to bother Riya because it would be troublesome.

Riya who was listening: "…"

Sophia laughed out loud and patted Amelia's back. "I think that your expression had already betrayed your real intention."

"No! Riya, please believe me!"

…

After messing around for a bit, they planned to go back to their small base in the crack through outside and didn't enter the crack for the time being.

"Will those people be in danger because of these magic beasts?" Leader Kin asked Peter and Samuel when they were on their way back.

"It's possible, but we have arranged for them to retreat immediately if the situation is not good," Samuel replied.

Since all the powerful magic warriors were all going forward without leaving even one behind, there was no way the military would allow these researchers to stay in the crack for such a long time.

Samuel guessed that not long after their departure, they should have started their strategic retreat.

"I see." Peter listened on the side and nodded.

As they had expected, when they reached the first crack, most of the people there had already retreated and only some people from the military were left. When the suction power suddenly appeared, there were only a few military people inside and they quickly realized that it was dangerous.

So everyone quickly came out of the crack and left.

"The details about that formation will be discussed at later time." Leader Kin looked at Samuel and Peter. "Mr. A would hope for you two to come and be in time."

"I understand."

"Me too?" Peter looked doubtful but he still nodded.

"The first crack exploration has officially ended and we'll discuss with you about the next exploration…"

"NO! I don't want to go with the researchers again." Peter's expression was distorted. If there were more researchers who put their lives in danger because of their curiosity, Peter would not want to take this mission again no matter how much they gave to him.

Leader Kin looked at Peter helplessly but couldn't say anything. It was the truth that the researchers this time put their lives in danger, which was not very good.

Samuel also shook his head. "I think that if you truly want to explore the crack, you can send your own people."

He said this more politely than Peter, but the rejection in his tone was clear.

The two of them had experienced the battle inside and if they were alone, they would be more at ease. But they had to bring a group of oil bottles, which was very troublesome.

Since neither of them were in the military, they didn't want to take up this job at all.
