After three years, Allen returned to the Warlock Academy.
I expected a cold reception, but I didn't expect the cold reception.
It has been half a year since the two archipelago federations in the north and south went to war.
As the war situation became increasingly fierce, the Warlock Academy was forced to suspend classes.
Tutors from various departments took their students, and most of them went to the front lines to participate in the war.
The entire Warlock Academy seemed deserted.
Pan Sen's Martial Arts School was also empty due to crowds.
Instructor Pan Sen, senior sister and second senior brother are not at home.
The disciples who used to study together also disappeared.
At dusk, the setting sun is like blood.
Allen walked through the silent martial arts hall courtyard and returned to the dormitory.
Open the door and enter the house.
The familiar furnishings in front of him made him fall into memories.
After a long time, he came back to his senses.
Allen wiped the table and chairs, and his fingertips were stained with fine dust.
It can be seen that until recently, someone had cleaned it.
Perhaps, the mentor and senior sister have been looking forward to his return.
Allen sighed and started cleaning the room.
Wiping the windows until they are bright and clean makes me feel even more lonely.
Allen sat by the window, took out his communication book, and contacted relatives and friends.
Except for the Pansons, Tafman, Angel, Feline and Julie, they are not within the communication range of "messaging technology".
Allen frowned slightly, suppressing his disappointment.
I had no choice but to send letters to acquaintances with whom I was not so close.
I hope to get some news about the whereabouts of my relatives and friends.
I waited all morning and got only two replies.
The first person to reply was Marvin, the young master of the Ganesha family.
When Allen went to Magic Stone Island to perform a mission, he was "working" for this young master.
If you don't take into account the incestuous relationship between Marvin and his little sister, and the embarrassing situation of senior sister Tanya caught in the middle, Allen's impression of the eldest son of the Ganesha family is not bad.
Marvin's reply was relatively polite.
He admitted that he was busy at the moment and had no time to chat.
Tomorrow morning, I will take some time to visit Allen at the martial arts studio.
Let’s talk in detail after meeting.
The second reply was even more unexpected to Allen.
Helent is actually still in the academy!
This girl who awakened the succubus bloodline is the first woman Allen has experienced since traveling to the world of warlocks.
It was under Helent's training that Allen completely understood the cruel nature of the warlock world.
All power comes from blood.
Bloodline is passed on through reproduction.
Reproduction is closely related to sex.
In this way, power and sex are closely combined.
When the sorcerer is in a mood, he can charm a young woman he meets on the dock with a snap of his fingers and take her away to use as a tool to relieve his sexual desires.
Completely disregarding how serious a disaster one's own whim will cause to the other person's family.
The sorceress, the handsome guy you meet by chance, doesn't care whether you have a lover or not, and whether you are clean or not.
Give him a look and you'd better be obedient.
Do you have backbone?
This is nice, but pointless.
Trampling your spine is like crushing an ant.
After disembarking from the ship, Allen entered Panson's martial arts school to learn martial arts, and Helent returned to the World of Warcraft branch for further training.
In the days that followed, the two dated several more times.
Helent spent money to buy sex, and Allen provided services that satisfied her.
In Allen's client list, she is a high-quality client.
Helent is not a rich woman, but her figure, appearance and skills are all top-notch.
Allen felt very happy spending time with her.
The relationship between the two is very delicate.
They are closer than ordinary sex friends, but not to the level of lovers.
When Helent doesn't have much money, he will always give discounts readily, and he can also do accounting occasionally.
On the afternoon of the day he received Helent's reply, Allen met this long-lost old friend.
Compared with three years ago, Helent looks more mature.
She was still wearing a beautiful red dress, put on light makeup, and looked graceful.
"I just came back today." Allen poured tea for her. "There is nothing to entertain at home. Come drink a cup of tea with me and have a chat."
"We are really destined."
Helent held the tea cup and smiled, her red lips showing an attractive luster.
"If you come back one day late, you won't be able to see me."
"Are you going to the front line too?" Allen asked casually.
Helent shook his head, and the smile disappeared from his face.
Sighing, she took the initiative to talk about things that Alan was more concerned about.
"Your mentor, senior sister and senior brother went out with Elder Rahul of the Ganesha family a month ago to support the front line."
"I don't know which island I went to."
"Felin and Julie were stationed in the mushroom garden before. It is unknown whether they are still in the mushroom garden now."
"As for Angel..." Helent hesitated.
Allen looked up and his eyes fell on her face.
"Angel, what's wrong?"
"About two years ago... I mean the time in the secret realm."
Helent put down the teacup and spoke slowly.
"I met Angel in the secret realm of the academy."
"Although I had some unpleasant experiences on the boat, we are old friends after all, so I wanted to go over and say hello."
"But...I soon noticed that there was a domineering blonde beauty standing next to him."
"Pamela?" Allen asked softly.
"That's the eldest lady, the dean's precious granddaughter."
Helent smiled bitterly.
"Pamela's eyes were like blue daggers, staring at me coldly, which made my scalp numb."
"Both of us are women, so of course I understand what she means."
"Pamela, I can't afford it!"
"Besides, it's not worth provoking her for Angel's sake."
"So I didn't even say hello and left in despair."
"I haven't seen Angel since then."
"Later I heard that he was sick, but I don't know how he is doing."
Allen was lost in thought.
Angel's constitution is weak, so it's not surprising that he gets sick occasionally.
It’s true that Pamela is a very cruel woman. After all, she is Angel’s fiancée. She should take good care of him, right?
After sighing, Allen felt another concern in his heart.
Helent took a sip of tea and broke the silence softly.
"Alan, you shouldn't have come back."
"The north has been preparing for this war for a long time."
"The South Island Federation hastily responded to the challenge and has no chance of winning."
"You are from a civilian background and have no family background. If you return to the academy, you will be sent to the front line as cannon fodder within a few days."
"If you don't want to accept this fate, just come with me tomorrow and hide away from the war."
Allen's heart moved when he heard this.
He lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Are you... from the north?"
Helene nodded in recognition.
Just as Allen suspected, Helent was actually a spy planted by the North Island Federation at the South Island Warlock Academy.
The family background she registered in the college was carefully forged.
"My full name is Helente Demons. Have you ever heard of the Demons family in the north?"
Demons...
It seems to be the most famous demon warlock family in the North Island Federation, and Allen has heard about it.
No wonder Helent awakened the succubus bloodline!
"I was born in a branch of the Demons family. Because of my excellent bloodline and good qualifications, I was sent to this family for training since I was a child."
Helent quietly revealed her life experience to Allen.
"When I was fourteen, I was supposed to enter the South Island College. It happened that the senior family officials planned to send spies to the south. Children of collateral descendants like me usually don't have the opportunity to show their faces, and it is easier to fake their origins, so I was selected."
Helente said quietly.
"Actually, I was reluctant to come here at first, but I had no choice."
"If you obey the family's arrangements, you will still have the opportunity to perform meritorious service and be rewarded. If you refuse to be obedient, you will just add a corpse to the blood pool to feed the maggots of the abyss."
Helent said it calmly, but Allen could hear that he was deeply helpless.
"Anyway, now you can finally go home."
While congratulating Helent on her liberation, Allen couldn't help but frown secretly.
There are not many undercover agents like Spanner and Helent in the South Island Warlock Academy.
The entire South Island Federation has been infiltrated by hostile forces like a sieve. No wonder it has been defeated continuously since the war began.
"Alan, what is your current level of cultivation?"
"Late third level."
"Isn't it?!" Helent was startled and immediately asked: "You must have entered the secret realm! How long did you stay there?"
"Almost four years."
The Silver Moon Secret Realm and the Mushroom Garden will last for two years.
Allen said twice as much and lowered himself a level.
Even so, Helent was still deeply shocked, and her eyes were full of doubts.
"When you first entered school, you were still an advanced apprentice, and I was already at the late first level."
"I have been practicing hard in the academy for two years, plus practicing in the secret realm for four years, and my current cultivation level has just reached the late third level..."
"I have advanced qualifications. I use magic stones to assist meditation every day, and my progress is already very fast."
"You obviously only have intermediate qualifications, why do you improve your cultivation faster than me? It's really unreasonable!"
Allen has long been aware that the bloodline he has fused has a very fast cultivation speed.
But after listening to Helent's questioning, I realized that it was not just ordinary speed, but ridiculously fast!
In this case, it would be rude to use good luck as an excuse.
"After leaving the academy, I had an unexpected encounter. My bloodline awakened for the second time, and I also received a Heaven-Building Potion. Now I have top-notch qualifications."
Hearing what he said, Helent felt a little relieved, and then asked: "What is the bloodline of your second awakening?"
"Leopard Man, a hybrid of ogre and lycanthrope."
"Awesome! No wonder you have improved so much over the years!"
"After returning home, I will enter the 'Blood Pond Secret Realm' to practice."
"A year later, when I come out of seclusion, we will compete again to see who has higher cultivation level!" Helente said excitedly.
Allen shook his head and smiled.
"I'm not as competitive as you. If I can survive until the end of the war, I have to thank my ancestors for blessing me."
"Yes, you still want to go to the front line..."
A trace of sympathy appeared in Helent's eyes.
Open the storage bag and hand him a ring with the Demons family crest.
"If you really can't survive, go north, use this ring as a token, and join the Demons family."
"With your current Demonic Leopard bloodline and superior qualifications, you will definitely gain the attention of our family!"
Allen pondered for a moment, took the ring from her, and checked it calmly.
Make sure there are no tracking marks or other tricks on it, don't worry.
Quietly open "His Mind Channel" to get a glimpse of Helent's true thoughts at this moment.
When facing enemy spies, caution is necessary.
The result of mind reading made Allen secretly feel ashamed.
It is true that Helent is a spy, but she is completely sincere towards him and does not have any intention of taking advantage of him.
Allen was never stingy with his sincere friends, so he took out a bottle of age-freezing agent and gave it to Helent in return.
As expected, Helent came from a big family and recognized the value of age-freezing agents at a glance.
He smiled movedly, with a little more tenderness in his eyes.
"Before I leave, I want to leave a souvenir with you." After saying that, he took out his wallet and said, "Your worth has increased a lot, right? I don't know if my little money is enough..."
Allen held her hand to stop her from digging into her purse.
"Don't talk about money tonight, just treat us as lovers."
"Wow! This is a rare treat!"
Helent was flattered, and then she suddenly had a whim and asked coyly and coquettishly: "Do you want me to become a succubus for a taste?"
"good idea!"
Allen had never played this new trick before, so he immediately became interested.
"Even if I cannot escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder in the end, at least I am a man who has slept with a succubus, so I will not lose anything in this life!"
…
The day after Helent left the Warlock Academy.
The deserted Pan Sen Martial Arts School welcomed another visitor.
Marvin, the young master of the Ganesha family.
Alan asked Marvin for news about his relatives and friends.
The answer I got was quite different from what Helent said.
The biggest gain is finally knowing the whereabouts of Panson, his daughter and Tafman.
By coincidence, the mentor and his team were on his hometown of Quinte Island, assisting the island's resistance organization in fighting guerrillas against the Beast Cult.
As for Angel's current situation, Marvin is also unclear.
"The last time I saw Angel was a year ago."
"I will go back to the secret realm when I have time and ask Pamela about it."
"Brother, can't you just contact Angel?" Allen asked.
Marvin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You still don't understand that eldest lady's temper? Who dares to talk to Angel without her nodding."
"That's true."
Allen was convinced.
He didn't see how much Pamela loved her fiancé, but that didn't stop her from staring at Angel like a hen guarding its food.
Perhaps, this is just the habitual domineering and strong nature of noble ladies.
"Junior Brother Allen, your current cultivation level is almost at the third level, right?"
Marvin's question interrupted his thoughts.
If Allen had met Marvin first yesterday, he would probably have followed suit and said that his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the third level.
However, he has already given another set of excuses to Helent.
There is no problem in pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
The problem is not to leave any loopholes so that others can easily see through the contradictions.
There is no guarantee that what Helent learned from him will not reach Marvin’s ears in the future.
If the two sets of statements do not match, the nature is very serious.
After a second thought, Allen made up his mind.
He frankly admits that his cultivation level is at the late third level.
Before Marvin was shocked and questioned, he repeated the excuse he told Helent yesterday.
Afterwards, I felt a little confused.
It was as if he had really been in seclusion in a secret realm for four years, reached the late third level, and then returned to the academy.
"Not bad! Junior Brother Allen, you are young and promising!"
Marvin patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
"Would you like to go to the front line with me and gain military merit?"
"Thank you, Brother Marvin, for your appreciation. I plan to go to Quinte Island first to look for Mentor Panson." Allen said apologetically.
"That's okay! Remember to say hello to Tanya for me."
Marvin shook his hand vigorously and smiled heartily.
"Junior Brother Allen, I wish you a safe journey and many more military exploits!"
…
The island of Quinte occupied by the Beast Worship Cult is no longer what it used to be.
At least half of the people on the island are infected with lycanthropy.
The conflict between humans and lycanthropes has been going on for two years.
During this period, countless bloody tragedies occurred.
Since the war between the Northern and Southern Federations, the situation on the island has become even worse.
Not long ago, a fierce battle broke out on the dock between the Southern Warlock Group and the Beast Worshiping Group.
The once bustling streets were reduced to ruins by magic.
The survivors who have not yet been infected with lycanthropy are either on the way to escape or hiding in the basement, praying for the blessings of their ancestors.
Unfortunately, this hell on earth has been abandoned by the ancestral spirits.
As night falls and the full moon hangs high, the killing begins.
The howl of the evil wolf echoed in the night sky.
Stimulated by moonlight, the lycanthrope who can still remain rational during the day transforms into a real beast.
Walking in groups through the streets and alleys.
When he smelled someone alive, he broke into the house and searched.
The bloody tragedy that followed is self-evident.
A group of bat men hovered in the moonlight.
Casting a demonic shadow over the streets.
Search for any living creature that can suck blood.
Cats, dogs, livestock, and even neighbors and relatives during the day cannot escape their ruthless claws.
A looming mist floated in the moonlight.
The outline of a human figure is vaguely visible.
A bat-man looked at the human-shaped mist with suspicious eyes, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
He tentatively flew towards the fog and passed directly through it, but found nothing unusual.
Perhaps, this mist was just coincidentally shaped by the night wind into an outline that looked both human and inhuman?
The bat man no longer had any doubts, turned around and flew away.
…
Allen used the third-level magic to "vaporize the body" to maintain the form of mist, which slowly floated over his former residence.
Only the ruins of the former tavern remain.
The second floor collapsed, and the first floor was occupied by a group of rat men.
Allen didn't stop.
A hometown without relatives and friends is not worth nostalgia.
In addition to ordinary lycanthropes, there is also a group of warlocks from the Beast Worship Cult stationed in the town.
In order to avoid alerting the cultists, Allen floated to a remote area outside the town before de-vaporizing and returning to his human form.
Use the "Dancing Technique" to fly faster and travel through the night.
Based on the information provided by Marvin, Allen planned to first find the warlock team stationed on Quinte Island by the South Island Federation.
The base is in the valley where the basilisk was hunted.
Rahul, the leader of the South Island Warlock Group, is the elder of the Ganesha family and Marvin's cousin.
This Elephant Man Warlock is said to be at the early stage of the fourth level.
Panson and his daughter, as well as Tuffman, all served under his command.
In the early morning, Allen flew over the valley.
I heard cries coming from the dense forest in the distance...
Allen frowned slightly, landed, and followed the sound into the forest.
Bang!
A ball of fire suddenly burst out in the forest, dispersing the morning fog.
Then, there was another scream.
A group of young warlocks wearing the uniforms of South Island College are casting spells to hunt wild beasts.
Of the four wolves under siege, two had already fallen into a pool of blood.
The corpse slowly expanded, twisted, and returned to its human form.
They looked like a middle-aged man and woman.
The other two wolves hurriedly transformed back into human form.
The two teenagers have similar looks, both about twelve or thirteen years old.
The two men threw themselves on the bodies of the middle-aged man and woman, crying for their parents.
The cries of grief are heartbreaking and moving.
"Sister, what should we do with these two boys?"
A warlock asked the team leader in a low voice.
The sorceress in blue robe gritted her teeth and turned her back to the two teenagers who were crying and begging for mercy.
"What boy? I didn't see it!"
"I only saw two wolf cubs, deal with them quickly!"
"But..." The subordinate looked unbearable.
"Nothing, this is Sir Rahul's order!"
The sorceress's face was gloomy and her voice was cold.
"There are fewer and fewer prey in the mountains, but there are more and more beast-like hybrids coming to grab food, making it difficult for us to have a full stomach!"
"The comrades in the camp are waiting for the meal. If you don't want to eat these wolf cubs, are you going to let everyone chew the bark?"
The subordinate was speechless and stepped forward with his sword drawn.
After the two screams, the forest fell silent.
The sorceress turned her back to the bloody slaughterhouse and looked into the distance.
Suddenly his face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Who's sneaking over there!"
"Sister, don't do anything, we are on our own."
Allen walked out of the woods and showed the secret mark.
"I am Pan Sen's student, and I am here to look for my teacher."
The sorceress looked at him warily, beckoned for a subordinate, and stepped forward to verify his secret mark.
After confirming that the identity was true, his expression softened.
"Junior brother, you came all the way here, haven't you had breakfast yet?"
"Come back to the camp with us first, and have a bowl of wolf soup while it's hot to warm yourself up."
"Let's talk about other things after we're full."
Allen followed the sorceress and walked towards the valley camp.
Passing by a hunting ground, I took a look at the bloody ground.
After pondering for a while, I finally couldn't hold it back anymore.
"Senior sister, are you sure that is wolf meat?"
"Can a werewolf that eats people still be considered a human being?" the sorceress argued expressionlessly, "Werewolves eat people, and we eat werewolves. This is very reasonable."
In fact, man-eating werewolves hunt the surviving residents of the town.
This family of four escaped from the town of Quinte and hid in the remote mountains, perhaps precisely because they did not want to eat people.
Allen doesn't think sorceresses understand this truth.
However, the order to hunt down lycanthropes for army food was given by Rahul, and she was only the executor.
Does it make sense to talk to an executioner about whether the person being punished is guilty enough to die?
Allen sighed, suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, and said to the sorceress:
"Senior sister, I'm going to report to instructor Pan Sen right now. Could you please help me show the way?"
"This..." The sorceress hesitated for a moment and lowered her voice: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. None of the Panson family is in the camp."
"Oh? Where did they go?"
"I don't know about this, you have to ask Sir Rahul."
The sorceress shrugged and spread her hands.
Allen secretly turned on "his mind" to detect her thoughts.
It's a pity that she really doesn't know where the Panson family is.
By scanning the sorceress's current thoughts, Allen got some unexpected gains.
The Beast Worship Cult has stationed nearly a hundred warlocks on Quinte Island.
There are even thousands of beast-turned-believers who have converted to the evil god!
Among all the beast-turned-warlocks, the four most powerful ones represent the four major factions of the Beast Worship Cult respectively.
Two of them happened to be Allen's acquaintances.
Spanner represents the insect type.
Andrew, who represents the bat family.
The cultivation realm of these two people is at the early stage of the fourth level.
There is also a wolf girl named Bei Ting, who is said to be the daughter of the Wolf King Humayun, and whose cultivation level is in the early stage of the fourth level.
Finally, there is the representative of the Ratman lineage, named Peck.
His strength is slightly inferior to the three above, and his cultivation is at the late third level.
There are only about fifty people in the South Island Warlock Group.
Leader Rahul is in the early stage of the fourth level.
Deputy Captain Pan Sen is in the late third level.
Senior Sister Tanya, your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the past three years.
He has surpassed his father and been promoted to the fourth level.
Allen is well aware of Senior Sister Tanya’s talent.
Even a talented girl like her had to spend at least four years in seclusion in the secret realm of time to achieve what she has achieved today.
As for Instructor Pan Sen, unfortunately, the upper limit of the tauren bloodline is just like that. No matter how hard you try, you can't reach the fourth level.
Comprehensive comparison of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, the South Island Warlock Group is obviously at a disadvantage. No wonder they hide in the mountains and dare not show their faces.
With Marvin's letter of introduction, Allen was interviewed by Rahul.
In the headquarters, there sat a fat man with a sinewy face.
A white cloth was wrapped around his neck, and a dinner plate, knife and fork were placed in front of him.
There is also a dinner plate covered with a bell-shaped silver cover on the table.
"I'm sorry, Sir Rahul, for disturbing your meal."
"I just returned to Quinte Island and I don't know the local situation yet."
"I would like to know how my teacher Pan Sen, senior sister Tanya and senior brother Tafman are doing."
"Alas! It's a pity that you didn't come by chance."
Rahul sighed.
"Just two days ago, Pan Sen and his daughter were greedy for power and fell into the enemy's trap."
"Panson and Tuffman were defeated and captured."
"Tanya escaped alone and ran back to the camp, begging me to save people."
"I understand your senior sister's eagerness to save her father. Unfortunately, this is an obvious trap."
"Your senior sister is a bait deliberately put back by the enemy!"
"What's funny is that she didn't even know it, and she still blamed me for not saving her!"
"It's not that I don't want to save people. The situation is dangerous. The enemy is strong and we are weak. If there is a slight mistake, the whole army will be destroyed!"
"As the chief officer, I must put the overall situation first and not act rashly, lest I make meaningless sacrifices!"
"Little brother, can you understand my mood?"
"My lord is far-sighted and considers the overall situation. I admire you from this younger generation."
Allen complimented Rahul without changing his expression, and then asked him:
"I have sent a letter to contact Senior Sister Tanya, but for some reason, she has not responded yet."
"Perhaps she is lurking in the enemy camp, trying to save people on her own. Out of necessity for confidentiality, she set up a secret mark to reject all magical communications."
Rahul stroked his plump chin and guessed.
"Otherwise, if you hide in the dark and a ball of light suddenly appears next to you, wouldn't it be easy to alert the enemy?"
"That's true..." Allen bowed and left, "Sir Rahul, I'm going to find my senior sister right now, so I'll excuse you now."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as he was about to turn around, he was suddenly stopped by Rahul.
"What's the hurry? It's not too late to hit the road after eating!"
Rahul smiled half-heartedly and lifted up the silver cover covering the dinner plate.
The strong smell of blood hits your nose!
Rahul grinned and licked his lips.
"Little brother, I heard that you awakened the ogre bloodline?"
"Wouldn't you like to try the wolf meat while it's still fresh and hot?"
Allen had seen Rahul's men hunting in the forest not long ago, so of course he knew what he meant by "fresh wolf meat".
"Well……"
Allen covered his mouth and retched, showing appropriate discomfort.
"My lord, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really not hungry! I'm sorry!"
Turn around and leave in a hurry.
Rahul looked at his back and spat contemptuously.
"Bah! Except for Tanya, all of Pan Sen's disciples are trash!"
