The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 126 Black Crow (11)

In the dim forest, everything has settled.

Daphne's face was filled with joy, but Lynn's brow was still frowning.

They had dealt with the enemy, but not the real enemy. Lynn looked around vigilantly and said to Daphne in a deep voice:

"The Black Crow did not show up."

Daphne also reacted after hearing this, and the joy on her face suddenly faded a lot.

She walked over to Nelson and asked coldly:

"Tell me, where is Black Crow?"

Nelson looked at Lynn and Daphne with a pale face. He really didn't expect that he would fail.

They were three first-class wizard apprentices, and each of them was not bad in strength, although not the best. In theory, it was more than enough to deal with Daphne, and they carried magic tools specifically to deal with Daphne's wizard robe.

However, they made two mistakes in succession.

The first was that they hadn't expected Lin En to ambush them. They had clearly waited until the shuttle set sail before taking action...

Nelson now understood that they thought they had seen through Lynn's plan and changed their target to Daphne in the dark.

But in fact, Daphne was the real bait, and Lynn never intended to separate from her.

This short separation period while riding the shuttle is actually a trap!
This mistake was not fatal.

Three against two, they still have the advantage.

Moreover, according to the intelligence, Lin En was just a newly promoted first-class wizard apprentice and was not worth mentioning.

But... Nelson raised his head and looked at Lynn, his body trembling slightly.

This young man's strength was far beyond his imagination.

He was like a deadly crocodile in murky waters. He only flashed briefly a few times and easily defeated them.

The hidden witchcraft seemed ordinary, but no matter what method they used, they could not detect it!
And that mysterious attacking witchcraft is even more terrifying!
Ordinary 0-ring top-grade witchcraft is completely vulnerable in front of that silver light. No matter how many times it is used, it will be easily broken by the silver light, as simple as breaking through a layer of paper membrane, but the power of the silver light does not decrease at all!
What’s even more terrible is that the silver light is extremely flexible. Combined with Lin En’s unpredictable body shape, it’s like the god of death gently swinging his scythe!

That is definitely not ordinary 0-ring witchcraft!
Nelson's delay in answering made Daphne a little impatient. She leaned over, the magic in her hand brewing a light:

"I ask you, where is Black Crow, and who is he?!"

At this time, Lin En also echoed:

"When I was collecting spider webs in the cave, I received a feather. If the black crow doesn't come out, then you will have died in vain."

Nelson smiled sadly:
"Black Crow is not here. He has never been here. What you saw was just a feather of the Mist Crow Messenger."

"'Mist Crow Messenger'? Tell me everything, who is Black Crow?!" Daphne snorted coldly, and a burning light flashed in her hand, pressing it on Nelson's cheek.

Nelson screamed in pain, his cheeks twitching, but he quickly endured it and said in a hoarse voice:

"I don't know his identity, and you will probably kill me whether I tell you or not, so why should I provide you with information? I am still looking forward to Black Crow avenging me..."

Daphne's face was filled with anger, and she exerted more force with her hands. Nelson screamed in pain, but no matter how much Daphne asked, he never spoke again.

Lynn looked around.

The dense forest was extremely quiet. It was almost dusk, the light was dim, and the forest seemed like another world.

He gradually believed Nelson's words, and the black crow did not come.

If Black Crow had come, he would have probably helped just now, and Nelson and others would have also asked for help.

But until he killed the two wizard apprentices and captured Nelson, the black crow still did not appear.

Lin En couldn't help but frowned, approached Nelson, thought for a moment, and said:

"Mr. Nelson, I think you should know that there are many ways in this world that can make a person experience more painful than death. If I were you, I would honestly tell you everything I know, just to make you feel better.

"Think about it carefully. What happens to us after you die is actually none of your business. You will be dead by then and won't know anything.

"You should focus on staying alive right now. If you still keep silent, I can't guarantee what method I will use to deal with you."

Lynn's tone was calm and his expression was peaceful, but when Nelson looked at him, he felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

There was obvious hesitation on his face.

To be fair, what happens after death really has nothing to do with him. What he needs to focus on is while he is still alive.

Nelson's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is there any chance that I can survive?
"Black Crow is the mastermind behind everything. I am just a puppet controlled by him. I don't want to do this. I am forced to do this..."

Nelson looked at Lin En, who had a calm expression and said with a smile on his face:

"That depends on your specific performance."

Nelson gritted his teeth and finally said:

"black……"

hum!
Nelson's voice suddenly stopped with a strange sound.

He opened his mouth wide and looked confused.

The next second, Nelson's eyes suddenly became dim and lifeless.

He fell on his side on the ground, wet, bright red blood gushing out of his eye sockets, leaving several winding lines on his face, which looked very scary.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Lin En's eyes suddenly became stern. He turned around and ran towards somewhere!

He had been casting detective magic on himself, and now he sensed a slight fluctuation of magical power in that direction!

Daphne looked surprised, but she quickly reacted and followed Lynn without hesitation!

At a time like this, separation is a taboo, and the right choice for the two of them is to stick together!

Lin En pushed the Golden Mist Shadow Technique to its limit, like a light golden phantom flying quickly through the gloomy forest!

After a while, he stopped on the branch of a tall tree.

Lynn stood on the brown branches with a frown on his face!
Whoosh!
Daphne also arrived here, looking around vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice:
"What on earth killed Nelson? Have you discovered anything?"

Lynn shook her head. “No, and whatever it was, it’s gone now.”

Swish!
At this moment, Lin En's face suddenly became stern!
Void black lightning suddenly shot out from his sleeves and shot towards a shadow next to him!
In that direction, a black crow was standing quietly.

Do!
The moment the white lightning dagger hit the black crow, it immediately disintegrated into mist, but the remaining force of the white lightning did not diminish and it nailed onto the tree trunk behind it.

At this time, Lynn and Daphne also flew over.

Lin En retracted the white dagger and picked a black feather from the branch in front of him.

This is what Mist Crow left behind just now.

This feather was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the cave before, both were pure black, and each feather was clearly visible.

However, there was no text on this new feather. But unlike the previous feather, it did not disappear after Lin En took it in his hand, but remained. "This may be something left behind by the Mist Crow Messenger mentioned by Nelson, or it may be the Mist Crow Messenger." Lin En put the feather away temporarily and speculated.

"In other words, Black Crow may have already known that we successfully dealt with his men, and has also seen your abilities?" Daphne's face looked a little ugly.

Killing Black Crow's men is not a big deal, Black Crow will find out sooner or later.

But Lin En's ability was discovered, which means that the next time they face Black Crow, the latter will definitely be prepared.

"It's possible." Lin En replied. He looked around and thought to himself that there was trouble.

The Black Crow's methods were even stranger than he had imagined. This so-called Mist Crow Messenger also had a strong ability to hide.

Although there are many trees in the forest and the environment is complex, which will affect the effectiveness of detecting witchcraft, this place is not far from where the battle just took place.

However, neither he nor Daphne noticed anything unusual.

It was not until the Mist Crow Messenger took action to deal with Nelson that they finally felt the abnormal fluctuations.

"Black Crow was able to deal with Nelson with just the help of the Mist Crow Messenger. Such ability is truly terrifying..." Daphne murmured.

Lin En hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Don't worry too much about this.

"From the fact that Black Crow only attacked Nelson and not us Ni, it can be seen that the Mist Crow Messenger most likely only has this one attack, or he has done something to Nelson in advance. There is no need to worry too much about this."

"That's right." Daphne thought for a moment and nodded.

"Let's go. Let's search the surroundings. If there are no clues, we will return to Silver Ring City and make plans." Lin En continued.

"Yeah." Daphne nodded in response.

The two then searched the surrounding area again, but found nothing else.

They finally returned to Nelson and carefully examined his body.

After careful examination, they found that Nelson's cause of death was a strange brain injury.

His brain had become a mess, and blood was oozing out of his eye sockets due to the inexplicable pressure.

But apart from this, Lynn and Daphne didn't discover anything.

……

……

"I underestimated you..."

In Silver Ring City, in a luxuriously decorated room.

Black Crow stood by the window, gazing at the Silver Ring City in front of him, murmuring silently.

He was not in disguise at this time. He was shorter and thinner than when he was Black Crow. From the back, he looked like a young, thin boy, not very noticeable.

Compared to him, what was more impressive in the room was a statue on the white stone table next to him.

This statue is not big, about the length of a forearm, but it looks very strange, with a crow's head and a human body.

The sculpture is not realistic and the lines are blunt, but it has a unique style.

At this moment, the pupils of the crow-head statue were glowing with a strange red light.

If you look closely, you can find that there are also two scarlet lights lit up in front of the glass window in front of Black Crow.

Those are the eyes of a black crow.

……

……

Daphne and Lynn left the forest and took the shuttle back to Silver Ring City.

The two got off the shuttle near Daphne's home and walked on the bustling streets of Silver Ring City, their expressions slightly more at ease.

“When I was in the passage, I received a warning feather from a black crow.

"'You will be left alone someday. The next association meeting will be your last chance.' He wrote on the note."

"You mean, what might Black Crow do at the next association gathering?"

"Maybe." Lin En replied, and added,
"But now that Nelson is dead, there's no telling what he'll do next."

Daphne also showed a little confusion on her face. After a while, she rubbed her face and smiled again:
"At least Nelson is dead, so there's one less annoying guy."

"That's true." Lin En nodded. "But speaking of which, you once said that Black Crow killed a Silver Ring apprentice. Do you know the details?"

Daphne shook her head. "I don't know, but he showed me the apprentice's belongings and...part of the body."

"Part of a body?"

"Yes, it's the pupil of that apprentice." Daphne looked a little uncomfortable, "Black Crow said that it was a pair of precious and unique pupils, which would be of great use."

"Did he say more?"

"No."

Lin En thought for a moment and asked again, "After the apprentice died, Silver Ring College should have launched an investigation. Where can I see the investigation files?
"If we could see the files, we might be able to learn more about Black Crow."

Daphne understood what Lin En meant. She thought hard for a long time and finally said:
"I seem to have heard my uncle say before that files like this are usually recorded in a special library in the college's security management department."

"You know the name of the dead Silver Ring apprentice, right? It's not too late now. I think we can go check it out."

“I do know that the apprentice is quite famous. His name is Xien. I have met him several times before. He is very powerful.

"However, the Public Security Administration Office is not a place that ordinary apprentices like us can go to at will, let alone check the files..."

Daphne answered with an embarrassed look on her face: "If my uncle was still alive, it wouldn't be a problem. Official wizards should have the authority to view it. But now... it's basically impossible for the two of us to get the authority to view the files."

"Ordinary apprentices don't have the authority to view it..."

After all, Silver Ring Academy is a large academy with many wizards and strict rules.

However, if they could get the files, it might be very helpful to them.

Now that Nelson is dead, they have completely broken off relations with the Black Crows. Lin En really doesn't want to give up such an opportunity.

He pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "I know a formal wizard, and we have some connections, maybe I can ask him for help.

"However, my friendship with him is not that deep, so it may not be successful."

"I see, but we can try." Daphne nodded.

"Yeah." Lynn nodded and continued walking forward.

The official wizard he was referring to was naturally Felicity.

I wonder if the official wizard is willing to help...
