Volume 1, The World of Wizards, Chapter 124, Ready to Go
"Ian, where have you been these days?"
At the gate of Todes Cemetery, Sheen and a group of apprentices had just returned from shopping in Avon Town. They happened to meet the tired Ian, so he asked curiously.
Ian smiled and pointed behind him, saying: "Back mountain!"
Sheen was shocked and said in disbelief: "How dare you go into the misty forest alone and seek death?"
It's no wonder he spoke like this. After all, there are misty forests where countless magical creatures can survive, and even wizards may die at any time. It's really lucky that Ian can come back alive and intact.
Ian smiled and said nothing. Although he did encounter danger on the first day, the harvest was indeed worth it. The number of souls required for the first Soul-Breaking Spear has been collected. Next, he only needs to infuse it every day.
Just put some negative energy in it.
As time goes by, one day it will pierce the enemy's body somewhere with a whistling sound, and a delicate bloody flower will bloom at the wound.
"Well, since we have met, let me inform you by the way that we will gather at the prayer hall in three days. The time has been set!"
Ian looked at Xian, his mind moved, and said: "Is it so fast?"
Unexpectedly, Sheen said: "I'm sorry. It's been almost a month and a half since the alliance issued the order. You should be ready."
After saying that, he led the apprentices into a fork in the tunnel, where was the monastery's storage room.
…
Three days later, when Ian came to the prayer hall, he was surprised to find that those talented people who had not been exposed to others for a long time had also appeared, and doubts suddenly arose in his heart.
Could it be said that they are also being recruited?
The prayer hall was once again arranged like a conference room, with multiple dining tables spliced together to form an extra-long conference table.
The awakened ones and the geniuses sat opposite each other, looking at each other but no one paid attention to the other.
The awakened ones sat in a row, followed by Sandy Taylor, Paget Armstrong, Ian Hyde, Jasmine Phoenix and butler Sean Gracie.
Except for Arabella Young Catherine and Whittier Achill, who have been missing for a long time, all the awakened people of the monastic order are listed. These two awakened people were lost during the Battle of Appleton, and the monastic order has sent people out.
I have searched, but there is no news yet, and I don’t know whether he is alive or dead.
On the talented side, there are Christy Hurt, Jocelyn Wood, Philip Croft and Arthur Elliott, who has just been promoted to Marcus Wood.
It is worth mentioning that Marcus had previously said that he wanted to catch up with Ian and the two of them, but he has never seen them since his promotion, which shows his hypocrisy. It is even worse now, even though Ian
and Jasmine were sitting across from him, but Marcus didn't even bother to say hello, he just kept surrounding Christie, extremely attentive.
"I heard that he accepted Abel Fox's recruitment and is ready to join his disciples." Ian covered his mouth with one hand and tilted his head and said to Jasmine.
The lady next to him looked very tired. Although she had tried her best to cover it up with foundation, her dark circles were really serious and she had stayed up many nights.
Jasmine yawned and replied feebly: "Oh, really!" She said nothing more, as if she wasn't interested at all.
But Ian knew what she was thinking. He rolled his eyes at her and said speechlessly: "Isn't it just that I was promoted before you? As for working so hard? I'm not afraid of being counterattacked if I act too hastily!"
Because this guy was not convinced that Marcus, a poor man, was promoted before him, he stayed in his room and absorbed magic stones like crazy. Over the past few months, his strength has been significantly improved. But it is still very difficult to reach the upper limit of mental power.
After all, after the upper limit is doubled, they are equivalent to starting over. How can they catch up with Marcus who has already crossed the line in such a short time?
If she continues like this, she will be exhausted sooner or later.
Jasmine was struck by what she said, so she snorted and didn't answer.
"Take your time, you are not unclear about our situation!" Ian said, "I will definitely surpass him after promotion!"
Jasmine has always been proud and arrogant, so she is not interested in such self-comfort words, and naturally she does not listen. She just wants to seize the time to relax for a while before the instructor comes, and then go back to continue practicing.
"You..."
Before Ian could continue to say anything, Capas arrived. What was strange was that there were four people following her, one of whom was Prescott Thain who he met in the misty forest a few days ago.
Sibury.
Judging by their attire, the other three are probably knights of the Sentinel's Sorrow. Could this be Capas' direct guard?
Seeing that no one was absent, Capas said: "Since everyone is here, let's start."
She looked around and sat directly on the main seat. The knights behind her did not sit down, but stood silently behind her, like guards.
"I asked Sheen to tell you in advance a month ago, so I won't repeat those words today." She looked around and saw everyone looking at her, so she continued, "I will only say one thing, except
Except for Sheen, all wizards must participate in this mission and cooperate with Sarah Johnson to complete the reconstruction of Appleton.
Do you have anything to say? If you don’t have anything to say, we’ll disband. Sarah will come down and explain the specific arrangements to you.”
After saying that, he began to scan everyone with his eyes, quietly waiting for the wizard's reaction.
However, everyone's inner thoughts at this moment were filled with dissatisfaction. Are these two sentences gone? It would be too childish to arrange them all so easily.
If there is a meeting with other instructors, they will at least give a few words of reasons, a few words of pretentious advice, and then lure them with benefits.
It would be better to wait until Kapas arrives and make arrangements directly without saying a single unnecessary word. Does this mean they are treating them as soldiers of the Sentinel War?
Even though everyone was dissatisfied, no one was willing to stand up because it was the mentor who said this.
Capas waited for a while, but saw that the scene was still silent, so she nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good!" Then she turned to a female knight behind her and said, "Sarah, you decide what happens next.
, I’ll leave first.”
The female knight named Sarah lowered her head slightly and said respectfully: "Yes!"
After saying that, Capas left the scene, leaving only Sarah and the four of them to clean up the mess.
After the instructor left, the atmosphere in the hall barely warmed up. But because of Prescott and others, there was almost no communication.
Sarah ignored their little thoughts and said in a businesslike tone: "Hello everyone, I am Lord Capas's bodyguard, and I am also the captain of the first squadron of the Sentinel's Sorrow. I am the person in charge of this operation. From now on
I will command everyone until the mission is over, is that clear?"
"Clear!" Ian replied first, which also made the others quite angry.
Those people deeply felt the contempt for them by the knights of Sentinel's Sorrow, and they were thinking about how to regain their face and let them know how powerful the wizard was. But they didn't want Ian to take the lead in joining in, making them feel betrayed.
But Ian doesn't care what other people think of him. If he has any dissatisfaction, he will definitely speak it out directly instead of silently calculating like these people and thinking about causing trouble in the future.
People are disgusting.
If Ian was asked to choose, he would rather choose these simple and rough knights. After all, they only speak straightforwardly and harshly, and do not do other small tricks behind their backs.
What surprised him was that the talented people also responded one after another and expressed their compliance. Except for the newly promoted Marcus and the two who were still a little confused about the situation, the attitudes of the others were surprisingly consistent and unbelievably compliant.
.
Now that Ian and the gifted ones had expressed their stance, the remaining awakened ones naturally did not dare to say anything more and naturally agreed.
Seeing this, Sarah started the next stage: "The next step is the specific work we are responsible for. This time when we go to Appleton, there will be people from the Judicial Discipline Tribunal working with us to enforce the law. The main goal is to reduce the cost of the new city.
The crime rate has been reduced, and the city’s public security order has been initially restored..."
