The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 152 Confusing
Transparent water drops dripped from the eaves, and the sudden heavy rain stopped suddenly.

King Ryan was sitting in a dry temporary wooden shed. Although he was not affected by any rain, he looked miserable with wet hair and soaked clothes.

"Sir Charan, is there really nothing we can do?"

Although he had asked several times, Hal Ryan couldn't help but ask the wild wizard beside him again.

As a king, Hal has a broad vision and knows the fragility of the mortal kingdom, which makes him more afraid.

"I've already said it, Your Majesty, we can only wait."

Charan, the first state teacher of the Kingdom of Ryan and the default leader of the three official wild wizards of the Kingdom of Ryan, sighed.

"Sir Charan, it's really passive to keep waiting. Why don't we take the initiative to go find those two adults now?" Jenningsen, who had light blue curly hair, said anxiously.

"No!" Before Charan could answer, the witch Laurie on the other side firmly rejected it with a firm tone, and even King Hal looked at him in surprise.

"…What I mean is that the more you do, the more mistakes you will make. No one knows what the adults of the Horsens School are thinking, so doing nothing is the best."

Laurie smoothed the hair behind her ear and explained.

Charan retracted his gaze and nodded slowly: "Yes, past experience tells me that facing two official wizards and a huge school, all we wild wizards can do in this situation is to be quiet and cooperate, and then pray that they will not take our lives out of anger."

These things really had nothing to do with Charan, and even the king was confused, but in this world where power was respected, this did not affect their nervousness, anxiety, or even the feeling that a disaster was about to happen.

After all, when people eliminate pests, they don't care about the lives of a few ants nearby.

But to formal wizards and huge schools, they are just ants.

At this time, Lynn also brought Leah out of the killer whale boat and came to Grace.

"Sir Grace, I have contacted Wizard Leicester. He is on his way to the next kingdom and has agreed to change his route."

Grace waved her hand gently, and the pale white light on the corpse gradually dissipated. She turned her head with a serious expression, and the dark green lines in her eyes caused by the witchcraft detection had not yet completely retreated.

"Did you find anything?" Lynn asked in a deep voice.

"We can only confirm that this is indeed caused by the common witchcraft of the Holland School." Grace shook her head, "As for the rest, I think we have to check the princess's body.

"Let's go. Before that, let's interrogate the king again."

Lynn followed Grace in silence, feeling that something was not right.

Grace thought that the young first-level wizard was afraid, so she deliberately smiled and changed the subject.

"I think Wizard Lester must have been very happy when he agreed just now - he hates the Holland School so much that he will never miss any opportunity to kill the Holland remnants."

"The remnants of Holland..."

Lynn suddenly stopped. He did not ask about the hatred between Lester and the Holland School as Grace expected, but quickly said:
"We have to return to the prison immediately, Lord Grace!"

Grace was confused for a moment, and Lynn continued to explain:

"If the abnormality on the princess' body is some kind of secret experiment conducted by the remnants of the Holland School, then the abnormality in the square now is not only a provocation and bluff, but also a possible attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Grace suddenly understood, and looked at Lin En. The two of them immediately cast flying magic and headed towards the previous prison!

"Lea, take all the wizard apprentices and wizard seeds back to the Orca until we get back!"

The gust of wind raised dust, causing Leah's witch robe to rustle. She instinctively covered her face with her hands, but when she put her hands down, Lin En and the other person had long disappeared, and only her instructions were still echoing.

……

Ryan Palace, secret prison.

The heavy stone door was half opened, and a faint smell of blood was emanating from it.

"The guard on duty here is missing." Lin En whispered, and the light of Swei's protective force field flashed across his body.

"The anomaly in the square is indeed meant to lure us away from here!" Grace's face looked grim, and she cast a defensive spell on herself. Then she waved her hand gently, and the ground half a meter in front of her suddenly broke and bulged. A touch of green came out from it, and in the blink of an eye, a tree man as tall as a person was formed.

Under Grace's control, the tree man took the lead and walked forward. Grace took a step and motioned Lin En to follow.

"This is a first-level sorcery, a tree puppet. It consumes little energy and has a long control distance. It is very useful as cannon fodder for exploration.

"It seems that the remnants of the Holland School have been here before. Although they have probably escaped, it is better to let them go ahead just in case."

Lynn nodded slowly, silently admiring this witchcraft in his heart.

With such puppet witchcraft, the danger for wizards to explore unknown environments will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

However, Grace's processing can be further optimized.

Lynn thought, borrowing the normal hiding ability from good luck.

Now that he has become a first-level wizard, his spirit has been greatly improved, and his luck has also benefited greatly from it. In addition, the first-level wizard's ability to finely control his spirit has been greatly improved compared to the apprentice period, so the endurance of his normal concealment ability using only good luck has been greatly improved.

If you calculate carefully, ten hours is no problem and can be used as a normal means.

Grace watched Lynn disappear, somewhat surprised.

"As you said, this is just in case." Lin En smiled, "Although this kind of concealment cannot be hidden from Grace, it is somewhat useful."

It is already very good for the tree man to be cannon fodder in the front. If he can hide himself, the effect will be greatly improved. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a qualitative change.

Grace quickly understood this principle. She was surprised and amazed, and she also cast the concealment magic on herself.

The two continued to move forward and the process was smooth.

After passing the bodies of several guards, they arrived at the cell where the princess was imprisoned.

There was nothing here anymore, not to mention the princess's body, even the bloodstains had been cleaned up.

"What a pity! I didn't think of this before." Lin En couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

"It's okay, I didn't expect that. But by choosing to stick together, we can at least ensure our safety." Grace comforted and checked the cell again carefully.

She did find some blood residue, but it didn't reveal much information.

"It takes so much effort. I am a little curious about what these remnants of Holland are researching." Grace frowned and said coldly.

Lin En was also a little curious, but he just said, "Let's go, Master Grace, the apprentices on the Orca ship still need our care."

Grace nodded and they both turned and left.

Walking in the corridor, Lin En thought carefully and suddenly asked:
“Sir Grace, the remnants of Holland have no way of knowing that we will come to select wizard apprentices during this period.

“But when we officially set sail, we will notify each new kingdom one or two days before arriving, and the Kingdom of Ryan is no exception.

"That is to say, they should have had the opportunity to destroy these in advance, without having to wait until now."

"You're right." Grace slowly stopped and frowned deeply, feeling that the originally clear facts had become confusing again.

Without making things difficult for herself, Grace, who already had a deep understanding of Lin En's wisdom and sharpness, asked decisively:

"Why do you think this is, Lynn?"

Lin En relaxed his brows and said, "Two possibilities -

“First, they didn’t know we were coming in advance.

"As for the second one, it can only be that some person or situation prevented them from destroying it in advance."
