The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 125 Warning
"There will always be a time when you are left alone. The next association gathering will be my last chance for you..."

These words without a beginning or an end flashed across the feathers, and then dissipated and disappeared into thin air.

Lynn stood up and looked at the passage behind him, silent.

Kaioli and Gray were one step behind Lynn and did not see the words on the feather. They asked in confusion:
"What the hell happened, Lynn?"

"...Nothing, just some personal grudges." Lin En pondered for a moment, shook his head, and explained briefly.

In a world where everyone has extraordinary powers, struggle is inevitable.

Especially since wizard civilization is a warlike civilization, conflicts are inevitable both externally and internally.

As school wizards, Lin En and others live in a relatively stable environment, but for wild wizards, fighting and killing are common occurrences.

Gray and Kaioli were both wild wizards, so they were not surprised by this. They simply asked if they needed help.

Lin En understood that they were just being polite, and this matter involved the Black Moon Exploration Association, the Black Moon Academy, and even the Black Moon heritage he inherited. He didn't want to involve more people.

Otherwise, if the Black Moon inheritance on his body was exposed, his ability to understand the Black Moon text, or even his special ability to spy on the truth was exposed, then death would be the easiest outcome.

After a short rest, Lin En and the other two continued to move deeper into the spider's nest.

But at this time, Lin En's mind was no longer able to focus on the mission.

Fortunately, Gray and Kaioli are very strong, so even if he slacks off, it will not affect the progress of the mission at all.

'Perhaps it is for this reason that the Black Crow gave up the attack.'

Lin En thought silently that judging from the last words on the feather, Black Crow seemed to have given up on attacking him during this period of time.

'This also shows from the side that Black Crow is not sure he can deal with the three of us.

'At the same time, from his previous attitude, it can be seen that he is confident that he can deal with both Daphne and me.

'That is to say, from Black Crow's perspective, he thinks his strength is greater than me plus Daphne, but less than me plus Gray and Kaioli?

"No, not necessarily. Perhaps Black Crow just doesn't want to involve two more people..."

Lin En tried hard to guess, not wanting to miss any information.

At this moment, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so any piece of information is extremely valuable.

"But then again, Black Crow also has some unique means, which may be powerful concealment magic, or long-range concealed monitoring magic."

Since Black Crow left such words on the black feather just now, it means that he knows that Gray and Kaioli are by his side.

This means that the Black Crow is either following them or monitoring them through some remote witchcraft means.

Compared with the former possibility, Lin En felt that the truth might be closer to the latter.

After all, Lin En’s ability in reconnaissance is not weak now, especially in a narrow environment like a cave, he has a keen sense of air flow.

Moreover, Gray and Kaioli next to them were not vegetarians either, and they also did not notice anything.

Lynn was thinking as he followed Gray and Kaioli to complete their tasks.

About half an hour later, they successfully cleared the last area they were responsible for.

As Kaioli used the storage ring issued for the mission to store the last batch of spider silk, the mission was officially declared over.

Lin En and the other two started their journey home.

……

In the shadow of a dead tree, Black Crow stood quietly, his face still wearing the black crow-beak mask, making it impossible to see his specific expression.

In front of Black Crow stood three wizard apprentices who were also disguised. They lowered their heads, waiting for Black Crow's instructions.

After a moment, Black Crow said:

"Daphne is indeed with Lynn. My feather will lead you to her."

After Black Crow finished speaking, his figure suddenly disintegrated and disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a black feather floating in the air and three wizard apprentices.

The wizard apprentice in the middle stepped forward and held the feather.

Although he was wearing a black half-face mask, his true identity was easily discernible from his body shape and the details of his exposed face.

His name is Nelson.

Black Crow and Nelson are not the same person.

Nelson held the feather in his hand, said nothing, and plunged into the black forest with two wizard apprentices beside him.

……

……

"Team 6, Lynn, Gray, and Kaioli, have successfully cleaned up the area of ​​the nest they are responsible for. Come and return the storage ring."

At the gathering place, Kaioli handed the storage ring in her hand to the elite apprentice in front of her.

This apprentice was a young boy with thin lips, fair skin and a very cold expression. Although he did not have any rebellious behavior, he had a kind of arrogance just by standing there.

Of course, as an elite apprentice of the Silver Ring School, and the Golden Thorn apprentice equivalent to the Horsens apprentice, it was normal for the boy to be a little arrogant when facing ordinary apprentices like them.

The boy took the storage ring from Kaioli and said as he counted the items:
"Yes, you are the first group to complete the task. Go and rest for a while. After the other groups complete their tasks, we will take the shuttle back to Silver Ring College."

"Okay, Mr. Oliveira." Kaioli responded.

Lin En also agreed, but his eyes were looking towards the dense forest around him.

After the black feather appeared, he felt a little uneasy in his heart and couldn't help but become more alert.

At this moment, a unique explosion sound suddenly came from the dense forest next to it!

"White distress signal?"

Olivier next to him changed his expression slightly and immediately ordered,
"Everyone in Team 6, follow me to the rescue!"

Although the Silver Ring Academy would come to the White-Striped Spider's Nest to harvest once a year, they would also arrange detection missions before officially sending apprentices to harvest.

But white-striped spiders are not domestic sheep after all, so accidents may happen occasionally.

To deal with this situation, each group is equipped with two magic tools for seeking help, one "white" and one "red".

A red-level distress signal represents a problem that is difficult for wizard apprentices to solve and someone may die at any time, while white represents a relatively weaker crisis.

Faced with Olivier's order, Lynn and the other two had no choice. They stood up again from where they had just sat down and flew with Olivier towards the area where the distress signal came from.

The dark shadows of the trees passed by quickly, and Lin En's face was solemn.

It was hard for him not to associate this sudden call for help with the Black Crow.

A few minutes later, Lynn and the others arrived at the area where the distress signal came from.

At this time, a team of nearby wizard apprentices had arrived at the scene.

Unlike the area that Lin En and others were responsible for, the spider nests in this area were located on the surface, scattered among the huge black rocks and shadows of trees.

A giant white-striped spider, which is obviously two times larger than an ordinary white-striped spider, is fighting with several wizard apprentices.

However, the white-striped giant spider had obviously fallen below and was about to be killed by the apprentices. On the other hand, none of the apprentices were injured.

Olivier released a black light magic that Lynn had never seen before, completely killing the giant white-striped spider. Then he frowned and walked towards the team responsible for this area.

"I've already told you there's no need to ask for help. This giant white-striped spider is just an ordinary mutant. It just looks ferocious." A wizard complained somewhat embarrassedly.

The companion next to him looked unconvinced: "When it first appeared, the white-striped spiders camouflaged like a wave around it were terrifying, and you also agreed to ask for help..."

"Is it just a mistake?"

Lynn understood what was going on, frowned, and glanced around at the gloomy forest.

……

Click.

After watching the last Silver Ring apprentice walk onto the shuttle, Olivier carefully checked the number of spider silks again. After confirming that there was no problem, he slowly walked towards the shuttle and closed the crew door.

hum-

With a barely perceptible roar, the shuttle of Silver Ring Academy slowly rose into the air.

If nothing goes wrong, they will successfully return to the square where they came from in an hour.

Below the shuttle.

Somewhere in the shade of a bush.

Daphne showed up, her head raised. The shuttle had already passed over the tall treetops of the forest and began to fly away into the distance.

It was time for her to leave.

However, Daphne, who cannot ride the Silver Ring Shuttle, has to get out of the dense forest first.

Daphne averted her gaze and hurried forward.

Walking through the gloomy forest, one could occasionally hear the inexplicable roars of wild beasts.

Daphne subconsciously quickened her pace.

But the next moment, she suddenly stopped.

Nelson walked out from the shadows in front of him, his eyes cold, and looked at Daphne with a smile:

“Daphne, do you want to sign the slave contract on your own initiative, or do you want me to help you?
"What I need to remind you is that if I come to help you, my methods will not be too gentle. Your spirit will be shattered and you will become a complete ..."

Before Nelson could finish his words, Daphne responded with an attack!
Daphne flipped her hand, and a grain of mithril fell out from the hidden compartment in the sleeve of her witch robe. Then with a loud bang, it suddenly turned into a silver stream of light in the air and shot towards Nelson!
0-ring superior witchcraft, shining silver jet!
This is a powerful witchcraft that consumes a lot of energy, but it is worth mentioning that the consumption here does not refer to the consumption of magic power or spirit, but money.

Every time Daphne casts a spell, whether it is in actual combat or practice, it consumes a grain of expensive mithril.

Although the amount consumed each time is not much, it is still a huge expense when accumulated over time.

However, such a high price also brings great power!

However, Nelson was not at all panicked when he saw this scene. He knew Daphne well enough to know that she possessed such powerful witchcraft.

Chi chi chi——

The silver light stream hit the shield in the next second. The shield was a translucent white circle floating in front of Nelson, blocking the silver jet.

But it was not the witchcraft cast by Nelson, nor was it the witchcraft that had already been cast on his body.

Two other wizard apprentices walked out from Daphne's left and right, and together with Nelson, surrounded her tightly in the center.

Daphne's expression suddenly changed. She never expected that there would be three people!

click-

At this time, after a brief stalemate, the silver jet successfully penetrated the shield and continued to shoot towards Nelson.

Nelson did not move, and a wizard apprentice next to him cast the same defensive spell in front of him.

The silver jet penetrated the shield again, but its own power was almost exhausted, and in the end it only created miniature silver sparks on Nelson's body shield.

"Give up, Daphne, your plan is really poor.

"You trusted the concealment ability of your wizard robe too much, but you didn't know that Black Crow had already discovered that you were staying in the dark."

Nelson slowly approached her and laughed,
“You want to unite and make one last stand?
"With all due respect, this is just a waste of effort."

Daphne's expression was very ugly. She gritted her teeth and asked:

"You're not Black Crow? Where is Black Crow? Where is he?"

"You'll know once you sign the contract." Nelson continued to approach Daphne.

Daphne took a half step back, but the other two wizards also surrounded her.

There was obvious despair on her face, and then her eyes became fierce, and she rushed towards Nelson regardless of anything!
"Daphne, don't you understand yet? What you are doing now is a meaningless struggle!" Nelson shook his head and walked forward.

boom!
A flash of witchcraft erupted between the two.

Looking at Daphne who was surrounded by three of them, Nelson had a scornful smile on his face.

Just at this time!
Swish!
Another silver light flew over!
Different from the silver jet cast by Daphne, this silver light was larger and its color was purer and deeper, as if white lightning suddenly lit up in the void!

Nelson's expression suddenly changed, but the target of the silver light was not him, but a wizard apprentice on Daphne's left!
Click!

The wizard apprentice had just seen Nelson's astonished expression, and the next moment, he felt the defensive magic at the back of his head being shattered!
He didn't even have time to show a look of fear on his face before the silver-white sword pierced into the back of his head with all its force. Then there was a flash of silver-white light, and the wizard apprentice's head suddenly exploded, with red and white flying all over the sky!
Some even landed on Nelson's face.

He looked past Daphne and saw Lynn emerging from the void.

"Didn't you leave on the shuttle..." Nelson murmured, looking at the body of his companion lying on the ground beside him, feeling a little frightened.

Lynn didn't answer, but disappeared again.

Daphne also reacted at this time. She looked at the headless body lying on the ground beside her, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on her face.

She suddenly remembered that Lin En had told her that she was quite strong.

Now it seems that it is not weak at all, it is clearly extremely powerful!
As for Lin En's sudden appearance, Daphne was not surprised, because this was the countermeasure she and Lin En had discussed early in the morning.

Daphne may seem to be hiding in the dark, but she is actually a bait in the open.

This brief period of separation on the shuttle was exactly the trap they set for Black Crow.

Lynn hadn't expected it to work, especially after receiving the message from Black Crow's warning.

But now it seems that Black Crow is also an insidious guy. He seems to have let me go, but in fact he is planning to attack Daphne.

However, from now on, Lynn is still at a higher level.

The situation on the field suddenly reversed!

Nelson was a decisive man. He turned around and tried to escape, but it was too late.

A few minutes later, Nelson was successfully subdued by Lynn and his partner.
