"This picture stone was found by several other patrol teams who arrived after hearing the news and relied on magic positioning."
"Except for this picture stone, all members of the patrol team, including their clothes, equipment, and even footprints, etc., disappeared without a trace... The reason why this picture stone can be preserved is because of that person
The brave patrolman threw it into the pool and mixed it among the pebbles."
"Our patrol team did not find any danger signals in that area - including the strange noise coming from the photo stone, the odor recorded on the patrolman's parchment, and the unusual footprints - and nothing abnormal was found."
"The only thing that can be confirmed is that we lost a brave patrol team, and some kind of terrifying and strange existence appeared in the Silent Forest..."
A capable wizard held a report and whispered additional explanations to all the captains on both sides of the long table.
Avery recognized that he was a captain who did not originally belong to Gini's hut. The North District was very large, and there were many smart and capable magicians among the tens of thousands of magicians. Those who immediately fell under Korma's command were also related to
Avery and other old people in Keeney Hut were reused.
But because the time was short, they ended up feeling like ‘outsiders’.
Therefore, these outsiders tend to complete the tasks assigned by Colma with greater enthusiasm and stronger will. Avery was not surprised that the missing patrol belonged to these 'outsiders'.
The briefing was not long, and the information provided in the briefing was not richer than the information in the image stone. After the capable wizard finished his report, he quickly took his seat.
The hall fell into a heavy silence for a moment.
Only the candle mountain hanging upside down under the ceiling was spitting out a cool flame and making a slight beeping sound, as if in silent mourning for the patrollers who disappeared deep into the silent forest.
At the end of the hall, on a black high-backed chair.
Kolma's closed eyes slowly opened.
"It's an alien god," she concluded without hesitation. Compared with the young North District wizard, she once served as the vice president of the student union at First University and faced two witches who came from alien gods.
After using the information-rich photographic stone, combined with her previous experiences and some recent events in the school, she made her own judgment immediately:
"Shub Nicholas, the supreme mother goddess deep in the starry sky, the black goat of the forest who gave birth to thousands of descendants...but it is not yet clear whether she is his incarnation or a dependent."
"According to the description in the photo stone, it should be just a black goat cub. But the wizard of the North District is also a wizard, and he will not be hunted down by an ordinary black goat cub in a short time... so I am more inclined to it.
He is the incarnation of His Highness Nicholas."
There was no restlessness or restlessness in the hall as the witch had imagined. No one was whispering to each other, no one was even twisting uneasily, causing the chairs under them to creak.
They just sat silently and dignifiedly.
Occasionally he looked at her with wild and expectant eyes.
Yes, Colma sighed slightly in her heart, how could she ask for more? A month ago, the figures behind those two long tables were all struggling magicians in the North District. To them
It is said that the most dangerous job in the world is to cross the Silent River and enter the Silent Forest to pick up some mushrooms.
Ordinary wizards are already high-ranking aristocratic lords; registered wizards with titles only appear in high-level talks in taverns; as for great wizards, and even super-level existences, they are legendary figures, and most magicians
I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come into contact with him in my lifetime.
So, alien gods?
For the wizards in the Northern District who have little knowledge, there is no essential difference between foreign gods, demons, dragons sleeping in the crater, or great wizards who have lived in towers for hundreds of years.
Just like the sun, because it is too far away from them, they cannot feel the blazing heat that consumes everything.
Thinking of this, Kolma suddenly lost interest. She originally planned to listen to the opinions of her subordinates, but was overwhelmed by the exhaustion welling up in her heart.
She is too tired.
The witch raised her hand and signaled the captains to stand up: "Since the risk is too high and beyond the capabilities of the wizards in the North District, I will immediately apply for assistance from the school... Before that, the patrol team in the Silent Forest shrunk the route and controlled the patrol range.
At the edge of the silent forest, the communication distance between each hunting team is maintained within one kilometer."
"Catherine is in charge of scheduling and arrangements."
"Pay attention to strictly investigate all illegal sacrifices and unreported magic rituals. The patrol team has the right to arrest on the spot. Avery and Enoch, you need to pay special attention to the North District and strengthen internal review... If you find any magicians or North District
If a wizard is mentally unstable, uses spells that others cannot understand, has a mutated shape, or has strange magic effects, etc., he should be reported immediately and arrested at the same time..."
"I know that many people in the North District have had the experience of worshiping evil gods and even devils before they truly became wizards. Before today, everything can be forgiven... But from now on, the above-mentioned behaviors will be punished with the severest punishment."
Orders were issued one after another.
The captains took the order and left one after another.
There were fewer and fewer figures behind the long table, making the hall seem increasingly empty. After the last few captains left and watched their figures disappear at the entrance of the hall, Korma finally lowered her eyelids.
She did not immediately go to school to seek help.
In fact, she didn't have much confidence in the school's assistance - if the school really had enough manpower to handle this matter, it would not assign the Northern District wizards to patrol the Silent Forest and Beta Town.
She sat on the black high-backed chair and thought silently for a long time.
Until outside the lobby, the courtyard of Sakura Tavern became quiet again.
Korma raised her head again.
However, she did not look at the door, but at a corner of the ceiling of the hall, with a bit of inquiry in her eyes: "Did the school bring a new solution?"
"You're thinking about Peach." A snort came from the ceiling.
The chubby figure of the yellow raccoon descended from the sky and quickly landed on a long table, leaving four gray plum blossom footprints on the red velvet tablecloth, and then said in a mocking tone:
"If there were really people in the school, they wouldn't let you, a frail little wizard, help guard Beta Town... Based on our experience with each other, I'd like to give you a suggestion. Dan Hager's law enforcement team is now in the Witch League.
The only powerful strike force in the window period only requires an application, and those guys with the "Wizard Code" in their minds are happy to cause trouble for Nicholas."
While she was talking, the tabby cat had already walked up to the edge of Kolma's skirt with elegant steps.
Then it took a deep breath, shook its head and sneezed loudly: "Sure enough, I told you why you sneezed just now... This is not in line with your temperament."
"What?"
"Perfume," the civet raised his paw and covered his nose with disapproval on his face: "The citrus scent with ambergris added is a bit too noble and gentle, and it doesn't match your temperament."
"Then what flavor do you think is more suitable for me?"
"The bitter orange blossoms smoked by the white moonlight are cold and distant enough."
