The blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, like a pure sea.
Below, the Kelitel family's motorcade was moving forward on a deserted road. Several birds flew into the sky in the bushes nearby, and there was a smell of blood in the distance.
Fianna frowned slightly, raised an arm, and signaled the family motorcade to stop.
"What's going on?" In the golden carriage, Enzo also noticed something abnormal under the prompt of the chip, so he walked out of the carriage and looked into the distance.
Enzo's eyes condensed, and a light blue glow appeared in his eyes.
Using the super vision brought by the chip, he saw a barren town not far ahead. It was daytime, but the town was dead silent, and not even a single person could be seen.
"Go over and take a look." Enzo said solemnly.
The Kelitel family motorcade continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the small town ahead. The closer they got to the town, the stronger the smell of blood there was. Bodies were scattered in the corners of the small stone houses.
"Did the gangsters do it?" Fianna frowned.
"No! That's not right."
Enzo's eyes narrowed, he shook his head, looked at the wall of the stone house on the side, and said solemnly, "Gangs attack villages and towns, usually just to plunder wealth. They rarely drive out the villagers and kill them all. It should be done by other forces."
Fiana followed Enzo's gaze and looked at the side wall, where a pattern was painted with blood.
The pattern was that of a black snake, with its mouth and tail connected to each other, forming a shape similar to a closed loop. In the center, there was a single eye with a vertical pupil, emitting a strange aura.
"This is... the Black Snake Church?" Fianna seemed to recognize the Ouroboros pattern.
Enzo's eyes flashed, and information about the Black Snake Church also appeared in his mind. It was a force that emerged in the Dark Territory in the past thirty years. The totem worshiped by the church is a black snake with an Ouroboros.
"Old Snake..."
Enzo murmured in his mouth, took a step forward, touched the blood pattern on the wall with his fingers, and a glimmer of thought appeared in his eyes. He felt a familiar breath from the Ouroboros totem, and recalled the memory in his mind.
That was Enzo's experience during his apprenticeship.
During the melee between the three major organizations in the Dark Territory, Enzo went to Thunder City to take refuge. During this period, he entered the mysterious realm of the Night Girl, where he met an old black snake who claimed to be sealed by the goddess.
As the goddess of night awakens, the secret realm of the Kingdom of God is shaken.
Many beings who were sealed by the goddess of night in ancient times took the opportunity to escape from the secret realm. It seems that Old Snake did the same, taking advantage of the shock in the secret realm to come to the wizarding world.
"It seems that everything that happened here was done by the [Black Snake Church]." Fiana said solemnly.
Enzo stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Based on the time he returned to the wizarding world, Enzo also had a certain understanding of the [Black Snake Church]. The nature of this organization belongs to the evil church, and its doctrine is to kill creatures and seize souls.
According to the laws of the wizarding world, the evil church, like fallen wizards, is the target of severe crackdowns by the Parliament.
However, in the thirty years since its rise, the Black Snake Church has always been known for its low-key behavior and has never directly confronted the wizard organization. The targets of their killings have always been weak civilians, so they have not received much attention.
However, in recent years, the Black Snake Church has become increasingly rampant!
Although they still did not confront the wizard organization, they caused several massacres in the secular kingdom. At least a dozen villages and towns were massacred, and the number of civilians killed almost reached more than 10,000.
During the original expedition, the three major organizations did not have much energy to deal with the affairs of the Black Snake Church.
However, now that the expedition has ended, even if the Black Snake Church is only a small organization, it will soon be liquidated. It seems that it is the perceived crisis that makes the Black Snake Church become more and more crazy.
"The soul has been taken away." Enzo walked to a corpse and found that the soul of the corpse was gone.
Obviously, the Black Snake Church slaughtered the town just to plunder the souls. Hundreds of civilians in the entire town were brutally killed and their souls were extracted.
"Let's take a rest before moving forward." Enzo then ordered.
Fianna nodded slightly and ordered the Caitel family fleet to repair in the town. The place had just been massacred by the Black Snake Church, so the silence was a bit strange, but to the wizards, it was no big deal.
...
At the same time, the city of fog.
The Caitel Family Manor is a high tower belonging to Wizard Morgan. In a room on the top floor, Wizard Morgan is wearing a soft and loose robe, standing by the window, looking into the distance.
"Fiana and the others have already set off?" Wizard Morgan whispered.
"Yes, Master." In the room, there was a shadow hidden in the corner, as invisible as a ghost. When Wizard Morgan heard the question, the shadow made a hoarse voice.
"It takes about a month to go from the City of Mist to the Canyon of Winds."
Wizard Morgan muttered to himself, "When the Nausicaa auction is over, it will only take a month for Fiana to return to the City of Mist. She has been stuck in the third-level apprenticeship stage for a year, and it is time to make an impact."
Officially a wizard."
"The batch of [Rainbow Potion] recently prepared by the family can just be used when Fianna is promoted!"
"Master plans to promote Miss Fianna to an official wizard?" Shadow asked hesitantly.
"Yes, it's time." Wizard Morgan nodded and said solemnly: "Fiana has perfect talent. If she is promoted to an official wizard through the guardian path, the probability of success is about 50%, and plus
With the potion resources and advanced meditation methods provided by the family, the success rate can be increased to at least 80%."
"There is not much time left for me, Fianna's growth must be accelerated!"
Wizard Morgan had a serious expression on his face, and he had an unquestionable decision about Fianna becoming a wizard.
"By the way, is there any movement on Freeman's side?" Then, Wizard Morgan asked again.
"Since the master last publicly stated that he would train Fianna as his successor, Freeman has been in contact with the outside world more and more frequently." Shadow paused and said hoarsely: "He seems to have made up his mind. This time
Miss Fianna, on her way to the Wind Canyon, completely eliminate the threat!"
"Oh? Have you finally made up your mind?" Wizard Morgan raised his eyebrows.
"That's what it looks like."
The shadow said, "More than ten years ago, Freeman secretly colluded with the fallen wizard, and the target seemed to be the [fraudster] Justin, who had a heavy bounty on his head from the Kendi family."
"Justin is a second-level wizard who has been promoted in the past hundred years. In order to stabilize his realm, he needs a lot of magic potions and resources."
"Freeman secretly colluded with Justin to steal the family's [Ice Heart Potion] for the latter in exchange for the other's allegiance. This time, Miss Fiana is likely to face Justin in the Valley of the Wind!"
"You are quite courageous, you dare to collude with the fallen wizard!"
Wizard Morgan snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "Freeman thinks that no one knows about his little move, but in fact he is so stupid and pitiful. He thinks that he can control a second-level wizard with some magic potions?"
"Humph! That's so ridiculous!"
Shadow was silent for a moment and said hoarsely, "But if Justin really takes action against Miss Fiana, what should we do? Although the opponent is a fallen person, he is also a second-level wizard after all."
"No need to do anything, just wait quietly."
Wizard Morgan's face was calm, and he said quietly: "The chick will never be able to face the vast sky until it leaves the eagle's nest. If Fiana really encounters that Justin on the way to the Valley of the Wind, just treat it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
The test is over."
"It's not that easy to become the heir of the Kellytel family!"
"Master, what do you mean...don't care about this matter?"
Shadow was slightly surprised and said quickly, "But Miss Fiana is not even a formal wizard. Facing a second-level wizard, she has no chance of winning. Even if you want to test her, you won't use this method, right?"
"Hmph! What are you in a hurry for?"
Wizard Morgan turned his head, glanced at the corner, and said, "Fiana has a space scroll on her body, which can be used in times of crisis to teleport directly to a safe area. What's more, isn't there a second-level wizard accompanying the convoy?"
"You mean...Lord Enzo?"
Shadow hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Although Lord Enzo is also a second-level wizard, he has just been promoted to the second level after all, and has not even mastered the second-level witchcraft. I am afraid he may not be Justin's opponent, right?"
"I said, this is a test."
Wizard Morgan's face was calm and he said slowly: "Nothing can be without risk. We just use this opportunity to test Enzo's strength to see if he can become the guardian of the Kellet family!"
Shadow fell silent, seeming to be thinking about Morgan's words.
"I understand what the master means." After a while, the shadow spoke again, hoarsely: "You are planning to use this opportunity to test Miss Fiana and Lord Enzo at the same time. If they pass the test, the former can become Kellytel
The successor of the family, and the latter has proven his strength and is qualified to become the guardian of the family and enjoy the resources of the Kelitel family!"
Wizard Morgan did not speak, but the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
...
The golden sun is like a furnace, hanging in the sky, emitting scorching light.
It was as if there was a billowing heat wave in the air, the desolate land was red, and the soil was dry and cracked like wrinkled bark. Not far away, a motorcade was slowly approaching, moving forward.
It has been fifteen days since we left the City of Mist, and today is the deadline to arrive at the Wind Canyon.
This journey was very peaceful. Except for the initial encounter with a group of gangs and the town that was massacred by the Black Snake Church, there were no accidents. The Kelitel family convoy was about to arrive at the Wind Canyon smoothly.
Fianna is riding on the white magic horse, her face is very calm, but her eyes are full of vigilance.
Although this place is less than an hour away from the base camp of [Eye of the Hurricane], as the representative of the Kellytel family, Fianna is still very cautious to prevent any accidents.
Not long after, the convoy arrived at its destination.
Ahead, there is an endless plain full of natural ditches, with mountains on both sides that look like dragon's spines, which appear extremely steep. The entrance to the Wind Canyon is extremely spacious, and the biting cool breeze is constantly howling.
Fianna raised her hand to signal the convoy to stop.
Enzo walked out of the golden car and felt a gust of cool breeze blowing by. The hot feeling was instantly swept away. He looked towards the canyon ahead and turned on the chip scanning function as a habit.
"Unknown energy interference, scan failed!"
The sound of chip machinery came from his mind, and the expression on Enzo's face remained unchanged. As the base camp of [Eye of the Hurricane], it is normal for Wind Canyon to set up a large witch formation, so it can isolate it from prying eyes from the outside world.
"Lord Enzo, the Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is ahead. Let's go in." Fiana said softly.
Enzo nodded slightly and had no objection to this. The convoy immediately entered the entrance of the canyon, but before it went deep, a strong wind suddenly blew up on both sides of the canyon, and a huge figure appeared in the sky.
"Wind djinn?" Enzo's eyes narrowed.
The huge figure's body was composed of cyan air currents, its lower body was like a whirlwind, and its upper body was extremely tall. It was surrounded by strong winds and roared silently.
"Outsiders are prohibited from entering the Valley of the Wind!" the wind giant roared.
"Hello, respected spirit of nature." Fianna looked at the wind giant spirit in front of her, her face turned slightly pale, but she still mustered up the courage to step forward, took out a cyan medal from her arms, and said, "We
It’s the Kelitel family from [Phantom of Crows], invited by [Eye of the Hurricane] to participate in the Nausicaa Auction.”
The wind djinn looked at the token that Fianna took out, and the strong wind around him suddenly weakened a bit.
"Friends of [Hurricane Eye] are friends of the Wind Djinn clan. You can enter the Wind Canyon!" The Wind Djinn made a dull voice and made way for the convoy to pass.
"Thank you, respected spirit of nature." Fiana put away the token and said politely.
Afterwards, the Kelitel family motorcade entered the Canyon of the Wind, and Enzo looked at the wind djinn disappearing from the sky, a glimmer of thought flashing in his eyes.
Wind djinn, elemental creatures with violent personalities!
This is a naturally formed special creature that belongs to the aboriginal people of the Wind Canyon. Later, after the [Eye of the Hurricane] ruled the Valley of the Wind, he used some unknown method to gain the friendship of the Wind Djinn clan.
Since then, the sylph has become the guardian of the Eye of the Hurricane.
They obey the orders of [Eye of the Hurricane]. If outsiders do not have tokens and force their way in, they will be attacked by the entire djinn clan, and even second-level wizards will feel a headache.
"To be able to subdue the wind djinn clan, it seems that the leader of [Eye of the Hurricane] is not a simple person."
The convoy headed towards the depths of the canyon, the expression on Enzo's face flickered. Elemental creatures have always been known for their extreme personalities, and [Eye of the Hurricane] was able to gain the friendship of the djinn clan, which was obviously the method of the mysterious leader.
While Enzo was thinking, the scene ahead suddenly became clear.
Deep in the Wind Canyon, a huge city appeared in front of you. The city located deep in the canyon looked extremely special and full of fantasy style. The tall blue towers were like giant trees.
