After listening to Isaac's story, Enzo took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.
"Then Senior Isaac is here today. What's the matter?"
The leader of Falling Night City, an official wizard, died like this. Although the news has not completely spread, it is likely that the discussions among the apprentices in Thunder City for a long time will be related to this matter.
"The City of Fallen Night has been destroyed, but there are still some remaining fallen ones in the underground ruins."
Isaac paused and said, "Uncle Ulysses is determined to eradicate those lost dogs, so he has offered a high reward for every fallen apprentice. I plan to form a team to go to the underground ruins, so I want to invite you."
Together."
"Cleaning up after the crusade is over?" Enzo's heart moved.
With the fall of the Deceiver and the collapse of Nightfall City, the remaining fallen apprentices are running around. If they are not cleaned up, they may bring some hidden dangers to Thunder City.
As the lord of Thunder City, Ulysses offered high-priced rewards to the outside world.
Whether they are family apprentices or wandering apprentices, they can go to the underground ruins to hunt down the fallen, and then exchange their heads for bounties. In this case, the remaining fallen apprentices will be beaten and will soon be completely disappeared.
.
"How's it going? Do you want to join?" Isaac asked.
"Okay, no problem." After thinking for a moment, Enzo said.
"That's great." A smile appeared on Isaac's face and he said, "I'll come find you in three days and introduce you to some new friends."
Afterwards, Isaac turned around and left the manor.
"Three days later? Well, that's enough time." Enzo stroked his chin.
Enzo agreed to join Isaac's team after some consideration. It has been some time since he was promoted to the third-level apprentice. His condition has gradually stabilized and he has also cracked two new witchcraft models.
Shadow Cage and Shadow Wings!
However, although he had mastered the new witchcraft using the chip, Enzo lacked practice. It still took a process to convert the witchcraft into combat effectiveness, and Isaac's invitation just met his requirements.
...
Thunder City, high tower.
In a warm study room, the bookshelves in the corner are piled with books, and the firelight on the inside of the wall is swaying. In the center of the room, there is a low round table, and three figures are sitting around talking.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound from the fireplace, which was the sound of burning wood.
"...Justin is still as cunning as before. He will never learn to be fair and aboveboard. He is like a poor rat in the gutter. Even if he becomes an official wizard, he will only use dirty and despicable methods.
"
Idru's voice was hoarse and his tone was low.
"He did not intend to face off from the beginning. Instead, he deliberately showed weakness and led me into a trap. Then he triggered an energy explosion at the expense of the entire Nightfall City."
"Fortunately, I was prepared and activated the green crystal pendant in advance!"
"However, even so, I still suffered some injuries, and Justin took the opportunity to make a sneak attack. I fought with him directly under the ruins of Nightfall City."
"It's a pity that after so many years, Justin still hasn't made any progress. He only relies on some conspiracies and tricks, but he knows nothing about real power."
"Although I was injured by the energy explosion, I was still more than enough to deal with that trash. I took care of him in half an hour!"
The corners of Idru's lips raised, with a hint of pride on his face, he slowly recounted the process of defeating the fallen wizard, then picked up the coffee on the low table and took an elegant sip.
"You killed Justin? Is it that simple?" Ulysses frowned.
"Of course, he was just a waste to begin with." Idru shrugged and said quietly, "Besides, his head is still on display in your office. Haven't you already confirmed it?"
Ulysses looked thoughtful and stroked his chin with his hand.
"When things go too smoothly, it always makes people feel weird." Slott, who had been silent at the low table, suddenly spoke, his pale face expressionless, and said, "Although Justin is not strong, he is very cunning.
And he is good at deceiving, are you sure the person you killed is really him?"
"What do you mean? Slot!" Idru frowned a little displeased.
"Nothing, just discussing the matter." Slott remained expressionless and said quietly, "I just think that Justin, known as the 'Fraudster', will not die so easily."
"Hmph! I killed him with my own hands, how can this be false?"
Idru snorted coldly and said, "Besides, the collapse of Falling Night City was witnessed by many people, not to mention that I brought back his head and this ridiculous mask!"
After saying that, Idru threw a ghost face mask on the low table.
[Mask of Hypocrisy] is a high-level magical item, and it is also Justin's iconic item. When he was still alive, he wore this mask almost all the time. Except for a few people such as Idru, few people wore it.
Someone has seen his true face.
"Forget it, stop arguing."
Ulysses shook his head and said, ": I have carefully verified that the head brought back by Idru does belong to the first-order fallen wizard Justin!"
There was silence in the study, except for the sound of wood burning in the fireplace.
"Since Justin has died, let's eradicate the rats in the underground ruins as soon as possible." After a while, Slott suddenly spoke and asked, "By the way, Ulysses, what news has been spread in the college recently?"
Come?"
"How is the situation on the battlefield?"
Upon hearing Slott's inquiry, Ulysses straightened his face and said seriously, "Speaking of war, [Phantom of Crows] just sent me an order. The academy requires Thunder City to deliver the fluorescent mushrooms collected this year in advance!"
"Transport in advance? Why?" Idru asked with a frown.
"It is said that due to the war situation, the college's reserve resources are insufficient, so it is necessary to collect supplies from the major kingdoms. The fluorescent mushrooms in Thunder City are only part of it." Ulysses said.
"Has the situation gotten so bad?" Sloter asked.
"Alas! The problem is more serious than imagined." Ulysses sighed and said, "We [Phantoms of Crows] face the attacks of the other two forces on our own. The pressure on the academy is simply unimaginable.
."
"I heard that several first-level wizards have died, and even veteran second-level wizards have entered the battlefield!"
"Even second-level wizards have joined the war?" Idru was surprised and said, "How could this happen? A war of this level has violated the "Northern Convention". Isn't [Parliament] not planning to stop it?
?"
"I don't know about that."
Ulysses shook his head and said in a deep voice, "However, according to the information I gathered among the family, the cause of this war is not that simple. It seems to be related to the promotion of the president-level beings of the three major organizations to fourth-level life forms!
