Chapter 323 It’s easy to ask God but hard to send him away

Nick has now been taken away and escaped, while the dark wizard has disappeared without a trace.

Apart from Cyril and a few guards who were left behind to fight off the beasts, only Liang He and Elius remained.

"Now is your only chance to escape."

Once someone reacts, they can rescue the dark wizard and resolve the beast problem.

At that time, it won't be easy for Liang He to escape, let alone take Elius with her.

"not necessarily."

Despite Cyril's reminder, Liang He remained calm, simply leaving her in the corner and walking alone toward the hall entrance.

“Ceryl, there’s a saying on Earth: it’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away.”

Since the rebels were so eager to invite her as a guest, now that she's here, there's no reason for her to leave easily.

"If you stay here obediently, the ferocious beast will not attack you. If you want to leave, that's fine with you."

Liang He gave Cyril the right to choose.

If she is willing to stay here and wait for things to calm down, Liang He will ensure her safety.

But if it is... then we can only leave it to fate.

"We will meet again... Liang He."

Watching Liang He reunite with Elius, who was also unharmed by the ferocious beasts, and the two leave safely, Cyril felt a mix of emotions.

Despite being an enemy, she deliberately spared her life.

"I hope you can escape successfully."

After Liang He and Elius left safely, Cyril managed to break through with the help of the guards and ran towards the research building where the black wizard was located.

She couldn't stay put and wait to die.

If someone else reports this to the leader afterward, he will definitely become suspicious of his relationship with Liang He.

"Roar!"

Cyril, who was rushing toward the research building without looking back, glanced briefly at the wolf king standing in the most conspicuous position among the beast horde, chuckled, and sighed at Liang Hebu's brilliant move.

Nick probably never imagined that the gift he used to get closer to Liang He, which was essentially an attempt to curry favor, would soon become the mastermind behind almost costing him his life.

"Commander, why is the research building so quiet?"

The subordinates who had accompanied Cyril to the research building cautiously observed their surroundings. They had originally intended to find the Black Wizard and have him resolve the problem of the ferocious beasts.

But now it seems very strange no matter how you look at it.

"Could it be that they ran away a long time ago?"

While his subordinates' guesses might be plausible, based on Selyl's understanding of dark wizards, he was clearly a fanatical researcher.

This research building is full of his research results; even if he had to run away, he should have taken the research materials with him.

"Let's go up and take a look first."

Regardless, Cyril had to find out the truth.

That way, she could answer the question more easily when Droville asked her about it in the future.

"Yes!"

Cyril, accompanied by several of her men, cautiously entered the research building.

"Commander, shall we take the elevator up?"

Following the direction her subordinate pointed, Cyril decisively shook her head.

Taking the elevator at this time is like throwing yourself into the lion's den; you're locking yourself in and handing yourself over to someone.

"walk the stair."

Once a safe passage was found, two of his men went ahead, with Cyril following closely behind, while the rest were responsible for keeping watch for anyone coming from behind.

The floor where the dark wizard was located was in the middle, and given their years of physical training, it wasn't too difficult to climb. They quickly arrived at the dark wizard's office.

"Strange? Why is this door open?" "What's so strange about it? The Dark Wizard is inside, so of course the door has to be open."

The two men who were leading the charge were discussing the matter back and forth.

Standing behind them, Cyril frowned, her eyes instantly turning sharp.

“No… The fact that the Black Wizard hasn’t shown up yet means he can’t deal with the beast. If that’s the case, he can’t possibly leave the door open if he wants to hide.”

Everyone knows that someone is pulling the strings behind the beast tide, and it's almost certain that it's Liang He's doing it.

Given the dark wizard's cowardly nature, how could he possibly leave the door wide open?
"Go in and take a look, be careful."

Cyril led her men into the office and found that the furnishings were as expected and the office was empty.

Could it be that the dark wizard never came back at all?
“If he hadn’t come back, the door should have been closed.”

Based on her understanding of the dark wizard, she knew that he would definitely lock his office door when attending a banquet.

"Look carefully, is there a secret room?"

If there are other spaces in the office, the open door might just be a decoy used to lure people away.

Cyril herself wasn't idle either, observing the office furnishings. Come to think of it, this was her first time in the dark wizard's office.

"Commander! I'm here!"

One of them found the mechanism to open the secret room. As soon as the door opened, a dark figure rushed out.

Cyril thought he was trying to escape, so she immediately signaled her men to capture him.

When they were lifted up, they realized that this person was the black wizard they had been looking for.

"Quick! Number Two! Number Two has escaped!"

Desperate to prove to the leader that he had no intention of betraying him, the dark wizard returned to his office under a combination of escort and surveillance.

Just as he was reviewing documents in the secret room, searching for a way to regain control of the ferocious beast, Number Two suddenly appeared from outside the office and locked him in the secret room, making it impossible for him to escape.

"What about the people who were with you? Didn't they notice Number Two's presence?"

Regarding Number Two, Cyril had only heard of him by name, but had never seen him in person.

Therefore, she was actually more skeptical about the black wizard's claims.

Maybe he deliberately locked himself in the secret room, hoping to survive until the end and then find a reason to shift the blame onto someone else, thus escaping smoothly.

"They're all dead...he killed them all..."

Mentioning this, the dark wizard suddenly shuddered, feeling a lingering fear.

He never knew that Number Two possessed such formidable combat skills, capable of silently eliminating those soldiers.

"Oh right! And...and the spirit deer!"

Spirit Deer?

The SSS-class orc who was tricked back by Nick and used for research by the dark wizard?
"What happened to the spirit deer?"

"He ran away too!"

An expected answer.

The spirit deer isn't stupid. The black wizard hasn't been able to persuade him to cooperate with the research for so long, so he'll definitely take the opportunity to escape.

"Besides that, is there anything else unusual?"

The people have all run away, and Selyl can't send anyone to chase them back now.

After all, everyone was fighting off the ferocious beasts, and on her way from the auditorium, all she could see were corpses strewn everywhere.

"Your top priority is to find a way to control those ferocious beasts, otherwise, if the leader blames you in the future, no one can protect you."

Her words made the black wizard look even more dazed and dejected.

He hung his head, feeling utterly exhausted, and muttered to himself.

"There's no way... there's absolutely no way."

For the second time, the usually confident dark wizard fell into self-doubt regarding his research findings.
