Wizard: I can predict the future

Helena couldn't help but ask:

"Captain, are we going to be stationed here permanently?"

"This place is too close to the Fish Scale Clan's stronghold, making it easy to be discovered."

"What if we attract an attack from the powerful Fish Scale Clan?"

Nord looked at Helena, a hint of approval in his eyes.

Your concerns are valid.

"However, you forgot one thing."

"Our mission is to capture a town inhabited by an alien race, and we only have two months."

"Therefore, we don't have much time to waste."

Nord's finger lightly tapped the mountaintop on the sand table.

"Establish a base immediately upon arrival tomorrow."

"Baruch, Hall, Leander, you are in charge of the buildings within the base."

"Don't build buildings that are too conspicuous; prioritize concealment and practicality."

Then he looked at Eileen.

"Eileen, you are responsible for leaving out the Ash Academy's standard distress signals in the mountains and forests."

"But the marker should not point to the outpost itself."

"It only points to three transit points."

"Each transit point will be equipped with a warning triangle and a new marker."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Helena and the others.

"The rest of you will go into the mountains in pairs tomorrow to collect magical plants."

"Remember, if you encounter danger, retreat immediately and avoid fighting."

Nord then turned his gaze back to the sand table.

"As for me, I will go to the vicinity of the Fish Scale Clan's stronghold to gather information."

"Everyone return to base tonight to gather intelligence."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

Aston frowned and said:

"Are you going alone?"

Nord nodded.

"A large number of people actually makes it easier to be exposed."

Actually, he didn't bring anyone else with him because he was worried that they would interfere with his escape.

……

The next afternoon.

Nord had changed into a fish-scale tribe outfit.

At this moment, his arms, neck, and cheeks were tightly covered with scales left over from dissecting the fish-scaled people's corpses.

Wearing a hat that obscures her face, she does resemble the Fish Scale Tribe somewhat from a distance.

However, this disguise ultimately cannot withstand close scrutiny.

Therefore, Nord did not approach rashly.

He stood at the edge of the forest, using the bushes and shadows to conceal himself, and quietly gazed at the village not far away.

This is exactly the location marked on the map.

The village is not large, with only a few dozen households.

Low wooden houses are scattered along the river and paddy fields, with roofs covered with gray-black grass and surrounded by a simple circle of sharpened wooden stakes.

Nord could even see some fish-scaled people busy in the paddy fields.

They bent over and stuffed some kind of purplish-red seedlings into the paddy field.

Further away, several young fish-scaled creatures were chasing and playing by the river.

Nord looked at the scene before him and quietly released his psychic vision.

Soon, the view in front of me began to change.

Half an hour later, he deactivated his psychic vision.

The village before us looks just like a small village in the White Moon Kingdom.

The only difference is that the people living here are not humans, but fish-scaled people.

The vast majority of fish-scaled people in the village do not have any obvious energy in their bodies.

Even their physical constitution wasn't particularly strong, only slightly stronger than that of an average human.

Even in the building in the center of the village that resembled a prayer hall, there was a faint energy reaction within it.

But it's not strong, not even as strong as a wizard apprentice who has just built a mental power model.

Nord thought of the spellcaster from yesterday and several warriors whose physiques were almost equal to his.

I've made my judgment.

That fish-scale tribe team must be some kind of expedition team.

They entered this dense forest perhaps to gather resources, hunt monsters, or carry out some kind of mission.

They just happened to run into Helena and her group.

Thinking of this, Nord breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This also shows that while the power in this other world might be strong, it's not so strong that it would require nearly half of them to work together to complete the mission in this small test.

Just as Nord was about to turn and leave, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Gurgle... Samo?"

The sound was very soft, but very close.

It was as if the person speaking was only a dozen meters behind him.

Nord's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran down his spine to the back of his head.

He didn't turn around immediately.

It's not that we can't, but that we dare not.

This was because when he used his psychic vision, he didn't see any magic or energy fluctuations there, or even any signs of life.

It was only at this moment that he heard the other person's faint heartbeat.

"Coo coo... Saha..."

The voice behind me sounded again.

Nord had absolutely no idea what the other person was saying.

However, that's not important.

The important thing is how the other party appeared behind him so silently, which is something that ordinary fish-scaled people could not do.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Nord's mind.

A powerful member of the Fish Scale Clan?

Or is it some kind of fish-scaled race with special hiding abilities?

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"escape!"

He did not hesitate at all.

Pandora, already in its basic form, suddenly glowed with a ghostly blue light and fired several magic bullets in succession.

Under his mental control, these magical energy projectiles traced arcs in mid-air, turning 180 degrees and blasting towards the location from which the sound came from different angles.

boom!boom!boom……

At the same time, the air beneath Nord's feet suddenly shifted.

Wind Shadow Step activated.

He didn't even look back at the result.

In his view, these magic bullets could not possibly kill the opponent.

His goal was merely to buy himself a moment's time.

The next instant, Nord appeared a hundred meters away.

However, there was still no energy fluctuation behind him.

The other side seemed to make no defense or counterattack.

Everything was eerily quiet.

Nord's heart sank, and he subconsciously turned back to look at the spot where he had been standing.

Besides several deep pits, there were also some mangled pieces of flesh.

died?

He just died like that?

A sense of unease rose within Nord.

How could an alien who could evade his detection possibly die from a single volley of fire from Pandora?

He didn't dare go back to confirm.

Who knows whether that fallen figure was truly dead, or just some old, immortal being deliberately staged to play a trick on them?

Several possibilities flashed through Nord's mind in an instant.

The next moment, without any hesitation, he turned and rushed into the depths of the dense forest.

The Wind Shadow Step is activated continuously.

His figure flickered among the trees, leaving almost no obvious trace.

Nord kept changing his escape route until he was dozens of miles deep in the dense forest before he stopped.

He leaned against a large, ancient tree, breathing slightly heavily.

He used the Wind Shadow Step almost without stopping throughout the journey.

Even with his current mental and magical power, he felt a distinct emptiness.

The magic power within his body was nearly exhausted.

If it weren't for the combination of witchcraft and a strong physique, he would never have been able to escape such a distance in just over ten minutes.

Even so, Nord still dared not be careless in the slightest.

Pandora remained hovering beside him, ready to be activated at any moment.
