Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

After Koren, who had been slapped and staggered, recovered and saw Elena's reaction, he shook his head with a wry smile but didn't say anything.

"Coulomb, I'm more familiar with Dylan and the others, so I'll contact them. You contact Byron."

Elena didn't delay any longer. Having made up her mind, she acted swiftly and decisively.

After speaking with Coron, she took out an exquisite iron object with a pattern of a fallen sun on its surface.

Through the cracks on the surface, one can see its complex internal structure.

This thing is the communication device used by the Fallen Sun Council for internal communication. As long as the fluctuations of the other party's device are recorded in this device, communication can be established within a limited range.

Moreover, its effective range is neither very large nor very small; its effective range diameter is three kilometers.

Within this range, communication is possible.

You can receive it for free simply by joining the Sunfall Council; it's considered one of the membership benefits.

This thing was also created by the wizarding world in imitation of the mechanical world that it conquered.

Just as Elena was trying to contact Dylan and the others, Corin was also trying to contact Byron.

Unfortunately, even after Elena contacted Dylan and finalized the plan, Corinne still hadn't been able to contact Byron.

This cast a shadow over their hearts, diminishing even their initial joy.

Elena sighed softly, "Sigh, I hope Byron will be alright."

Meanwhile, Elena and her companion weren't the only ones who came up with the idea of ​​coming together; other members of the apprentice organization, after finding a safe place, were also trying to contact those they trusted.

After all, they are not fools; they understand the principle that there is strength in numbers.

.........

On the other side, in the college square.

At this moment, a dozen or so wizards gathered in the once empty square, frowning as they looked at the now-dissipated teleportation array.

These wizards were all instructors at the Dark Eclipse Wizarding Academy, and instead of busying themselves with their own affairs, they gathered here for a simple reason.

The main reason is that their students, who were supposed to return an hour earlier, did not return on time.

This situation is clearly not right.

After all, for wizards, a group that values ​​time highly, this situation doesn't seem right at all.

However, the teleportation array has now disappeared, so they cannot teleport there to investigate the situation or contact the six wizards leading the team. Therefore, they can only wait here for news from above.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a rugged face, dressed in a black wizard's robe, suddenly appeared in the crowd.

The wizards present all bowed their heads respectfully upon seeing this person, and even those who did not bow their heads nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Among those who did not bow their heads was Byron's mentor, Isolde.

"Lord Conrad the Wizard."

The visitor was none other than Conrad, the vice-principal of the Dark Eclipse Wizarding Academy.

"Vice Dean Conrad, what's going on?"

After exchanging greetings, an old man with a long face and a cunning expression suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

This man was none other than Gray's mentor, Edgar Thorne.

The reason he was so anxious to ask was that every day his alchemy workshop was closed, he would earn one less day's worth of magic stones.

This was even more painful for him than having his flesh ripped out or his blood drunk.

If it weren't for the fact that the mandatory mission for the students was an order issued by the Dark Erosion Mark Wizard, he would have even wanted to prevent his students from participating.

At the same time, Isolde looked at Conrad with her beautiful eyes, her red lips moved slightly, and her clear, cold voice rang out.

"Vice Dean Conrad, I'd also like to know what happened and why none of the trainees who participated in the mission have returned?"

As Isolde and Edgar spoke, the other wizards who hadn't bowed their heads also spoke up to ask questions.

When Conrad saw these people ask questions, his eyes twitched slightly, and an ugly smile appeared on his rugged face.

Although he was much stronger than these people, in terms of status, they could be considered equals to him.

There are even one or two guys who would give even the dean a headache, let alone him.

"Everyone, don't be anxious. The reason why those students in the academy did not return at the agreed time is because someone secretly tampered with the space teleportation technology."

Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly erupted in excitement. They hadn't expected that the students' failure to return on time would involve a dark wizard, or someone connected to a dark wizard.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Isolde spoke again: "So what should we do now? Are we just going to watch those trainees die?"

As she said this, Isolde stared intently at Conrad, making Conrad feel uneasy.

When the other wizards heard Isolde's words, they silently gave her a thumbs up in their hearts. She had asked the question that none of them dared to ask.

As expected of the wizards sent by the Potions Alliance to teach at the academy, they are much more powerful than ordinary wizards like them!

Sometimes they even sighed inwardly, wondering why they hadn't chosen to study potions, alchemy, or other subjects when they chose the path of wizardry.

I really regret it!

Conrad understood why Isolde was so concerned when she asked him.

After all, among these students in danger were people she admired, and one of them might even join the Potions Alliance in the future, allowing her to end her teaching mission and return to that prosperous place.

So how could she not be anxious when she heard that the person was in danger?

Honestly, if it weren't for the high salary offered by the Dark Erosion Mark and the promise to do everything in his power to help him achieve his mark, he wouldn't want to continue working in this godforsaken place.

But since I've taken this job, I have to be responsible and do my job well. It's really tough to earn money and it's a real pain!

Conrad's mind raced, but he forced a smile and looked at Isolde.

"Wizard Isolde, please rest assured, things are not as bad as you think."

"To be honest, I knew about this as soon as it happened, and I had already figured out where the students were."

These words, far from reassuring everyone, only amplified their doubts.

Now that we know the exact location of those trainees, why haven't we rescued them yet? They're still waiting for those oxen and horses to do the work; isn't this just a waste of time?

Kondra seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking and spoke up again to explain.

"Actually, I also want to bring those students back, but there's no rush."

"According to the Dark Erosion Mark, this unexpected situation is a good opportunity for these students to gain experience, prepare for the upcoming academy competition, and strive for greater benefits for the academy."

"Furthermore, the Dark Erosion Mark also wants to see if they can use this incident to lure out the rats hiding in the shadows."
