The Genius Mage

"Elder, aren't you going to give us a reminder?" A bearded man beside him, Darian, asked. He was a burly man.

"I think these children are really not bad. It's not a big deal to give them a reminder when it's time," someone else said as his gaze fell on the enigmatic Elder.

The Elder rubbed the handle of the chair. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled.

"Got it," the Elder said.

Just as Audrey was about to tell everyone the good news, the Elder's voice sounded from the snow mountain.

"Children!

"We are all geniuses that are hard to come by in a hundred years. I believe that everyone has improved a lot of their abilities after training in the snow mountain for this period of time. Now, there's only one step left for everyone to win," the Elder said as he pressed a button in his hand.

The elder's gaze did not shift away from the scene in the crystal ball as he spoke.

"It's the Elder's voice!" Cole raised his head in surprise and exclaimed.

"Shh! Listen carefully." Klein glared at Cole impatiently and placed his index finger in front of his lips to signal for him to be quiet.

Cole immediately shut his mouth. He even stretched out his hand and made a zipper gesture in front of his lips.

"Not only do you have to compete, but more importantly, you have to work together. The secret to going back is to work together for a win-win situation! Use the power of the token." After saying that, the Elder's voice disappeared.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"It's the token, the power of the token," Audrey said.

Then, everyone understood. The Elder meant that they had to combine the power of the token to open the door to go back.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and leave!" Hobart could not wait to return as well.

"The Elder also said that we have to work together for a win-win situation. With the power of the token that the Elder mentioned," Audrey gave everyone a calm look and said.

"What does that mean?" Adrian was puzzled.

"Each team only has one token. Does that mean that we have to find another team to work together before we can return!?" Kate said in surprise when he understood.

"The question now is which team do we have to find to work with us?" Klein said.

After saying that, everyone's eyes fell on Audrey.

"In addition, we have the Snow Lotus. We don't know if the team we're with is good or evil," Cole echoed Klein's words.

"We can only find a team that doesn't have any ill intentions towards us and won't take the opportunity to snatch the Snow Lotus," Adrian said.

"Is there such a team?" Hobart asked while stroking his chin.

"Yes." Audrey listened to their discussion, and the faces of Ross and Barbara appeared in her mind.

"Who is it?" Klein looked at Audrey in surprise and asked.

"My roommates," Audrey said.

Audrey calmed her heart and sensed the aura nearby. She happened to sense the presence of Barbara and Ross, and it did not seem to be too far away from here.

"But how do you know where they are?" Adrian looked at Audrey.

"They're around here. I believe that they won't have any ill intentions to take our Snow Lotus." Audrey trusted her two roommates very much.

When the others saw this, since they were people that Audrey trusted, it meant that they were reliable. They nodded as well.

"Alright, let's hurry and find them now." Klein could not wait any longer.

"Alright." Audrey could sense their eagerness to leave this place as soon as possible.

Audrey followed her intuition and walked toward Barbara and Ross' location.

"How much longer?" Cole asked when they had not reached Ross' location after walking for nearly an hour.

"Not much longer. They're just ahead." Hearing this, Audrey pointed at the people sitting on the rocks in front of them.

Ross and Barbara were sitting together, and the two of them were having a conversation.

"How do you think Audrey and the others are doing?" Barbara asked. Her tone sounded worried.

"You don't have to worry about Audrey. You know her strength. There aren't many who are her match." Ross patted Barbara's shoulder and comforted her.

Just then, Barbara shifted her gaze and saw a figure in the distance.

"Quick, look. Isn't that Audrey?" Barbara did not expect to meet her in such a large snowy mountain. She pointed excitedly at Audrey's location.

Audrey also happened to look up and saw Barbara pointing at her. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"It's them," Audrey said with a smile.

She brought a few people to Barbara and Ross.

"Audrey! It's really you! That's great!" Ross walked in front of Barbara and gave Audrey a warm hug.

"Yes, I came here to look for you." Audrey also hugged her, and then she hugged Barbara.

"Have you found a way out?" Ross and the others had long heard that someone had taken away Snow Lotus, so the most important thing now was to return to the Templar Knights safely.

"We've found it. That's why we came to look for you. We can only leave if we hold the tokens together," Audrey answered Ross and the others.

The others in Ross' team had not been paying attention to them at first. After hearing Audrey's words, they immediately perked up and pricked up their ears to eavesdrop on them.
