is coming.

Many of the wizard apprentices who had escaped the attack gathered on the deck, and none of them looked too good.

It is said that the ferocious sea monsters fought their way up to the third floor before being intercepted by the sailors who came to their rescue. Most of the wizard apprentices on the fourth and fifth floors were killed or wounded, but the wizard apprentices living in the lowest cabin escaped unharmed.

Binghamson saw Green and the others on the deck and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm so glad you're all alright! Those sea monsters scared the hell out of me! I was wondering how I, a great magic apprentice from the prestigious city of Grand Tambrosen, could be eaten by sea monsters before even reaching the wizarding academy. I didn't want to become their excrement..."

As he spoke, Binghamson pointed to the people behind him and said, "Come, come, let me introduce you..."

Green couldn't help but marvel at the guy's good luck.

This guy originally lived in the second-floor cabin, which was damp and wet, only slightly better than the bottom cabin, but this time it saved his life.

Shaking his head, Green couldn't help but lament his extremely bad luck, sighing, "I was just about to go up to the deck for some fresh air, I was only on the fifth floor when this happened. You know, it's normal for me to stay indoors for days on end, sigh..."

However, no matter how hard Green and the others searched on the deck, they couldn't find Wade, so he was probably one of the many victims.

Gillum, on the other hand, was standing perfectly fine on the other side of the deck, showing no intention of speaking to Green and the others, and staring indifferently at the distant sea.

Upon seeing this, Binghamson couldn't help but mutter a mocking remark: "Hmph, all they know is how to fawn over Wizard Arowworth, born slaves."

It's no wonder that Bing Johnson was unhappy with Gillum. On the way there, Gillum followed the wizard Arrowworth around with a smile, making the wizard very comfortable.

After separating from the wizard, this guy completely disregarded Green and the others. Even when Joklis had a conflict with another unfamiliar wizard apprentice in the fifth-floor cabin, this guy simply said "It's none of my business" and walked away.

As a result, Green and the others also disdained to talk to this guy anymore.

Joris didn't have time to worry about these trivial matters. He just held his sister anxiously, looking at the hollows in her eyes, and comforted her, "It's okay. When we get to the Wizarding Continent, your brother will definitely ask the most powerful wizard to use his magic to heal your eyes."

Upon hearing her brother's words, a faint smile appeared on Yokriana's pale face.

"Brother, don't lie to me. Although I'm not smart, I'm not stupid. Do you think those powerful wizards are so easy to meet? Besides... it's okay, brother. Look at Wizard Dila, doesn't she only have one eye?"

Everyone watched as the wizard Dila busied herself on the deck counting the number of wizard apprentices. One of her eyes had been replaced by a constantly rotating gear, which was extremely eerie. Could it be that Yorkriana would become like this in the future?

Everyone shuddered.

Yocris quickly said, "No, no, I will definitely heal your eyes! I swear!"

Leaving aside the Jockey siblings, as for Green and Raffi, one of them had injured his left leg and the other his right shoulder, but they were quite in sync, leaning against the mast to rest together.

  

Green was embarrassed and confused by what had happened earlier, so he ignored Raffi next to him. Raffi was also a little upset and embarrassed about her lapse in composure, so she also didn't say anything.

For a moment, silence fell between them, as if the brief intimacy had been an illusion, and neither of them mentioned it again.

Later, news came from someone on deck that thirty-two sailors and one hundred and seven wizard apprentices had died in the sea monster attack, most of whom lived in the fourth or fifth deck.

On the other side, standing beside Dila were two legendary knights, the boatswain and Baron.

The boatswain was mostly unharmed, but Baron had a deep wound on his back, which he didn't seem to care about.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Baron asked the wizard Dila in surprise, "Logically, now that the sea monster has been driven away and killed, Master Dila should be happy. Why is he even more worried?"

Most people wouldn't be able to see the sorrow on Dila's face.

Firstly, wizards generally don't show their feelings on their faces, and secondly, Dila's body has undergone some modifications, causing her to lose many subtle facial expressions. Under such circumstances, only Baron, who has followed her for decades, can perceive some of his master's thoughts.

"Something's not right about this sea monster attack on the ship."

Dila glanced at Baron with her remaining eye and said in a deep and meaningful tone.

Baron was startled, then immediately realized something and exclaimed in horror, "Could it be that we've been targeted by other wizards?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's very likely."

Baron's dark face turned pale at this moment. As a legendary knight living on the Wizarding Continent, he knew very well how terrifying it was to be watched by a wizard hiding in the shadows!

Especially on this vast ocean, they couldn't get any support at all.

"Are they enemies of the academy? Or are they targeting you, sir?"

Baron asked, forcing himself to be brave.

If they were Dila's own enemies, that would be fine, but if they were enemies of the academy, their lives would be in grave danger.

Dila shook her head: "Anything is possible, but... there's another possibility, it's for them."

Baron followed Dila's gaze and saw that she was looking at Yunli and Bibi Leona!

Baron paused, then said bitterly, "For them?"

Two mere wizard apprentices, though geniuses, actually dared to risk fighting Lord Dila?

"It's just a possibility; you don't understand some of the secrets involved."

Dira paused, then sighed, "Now that the sea monster has been defeated and my magic power is exhausted, any changes will likely happen soon. Let's wait and see."

After a pause, a sinister glint suddenly flashed in Dila Wizard's eyes.

"However, if an enemy does come after them later, Baron, I need you to do something."

Baron knelt down: "Please speak, my lord."

Dila whispered in Baron's ear, her voice grim, "Kill them both! These two are geniuses, one in a hundred years for the academy, possessing extremely valuable innate magical talents. They are very likely to become strong contenders in the Holy Tower qualification battle! We, the Lilith Wizarding Academy, cannot have such geniuses, nor can we allow a wizarding academy that might be our enemy to have them!"

…………

The sea breeze blew freely, the sun gradually rose higher, and waves of heat swept over us.

Finally, everyone could no longer bear the heat and began to return to their cabins. Only a small number of people continued to rest on the deck, including Green and Binghamson.

As for Raffi, Jocris, and Jokliana, they had already returned to their cabins.

"Hey, Green, now that the wizard's room has been destroyed, where will he stay tonight? Oh, and those two guys too."

The two people Bingham was referring to were naturally Yunli and Bibi Leona.

"I don't know, but it's probably the fifth deck."

Green said nonchalantly.

Yocris chuckled, "Just as I guessed. But Yocris, Yokliana, and Raffi all live on the fifth floor. I wonder which unlucky room will be requisitioned."

Green curled his lip and said, "So many people died on the fifth floor, why did it have to be any room? Why those three?"

"That's not necessarily true! Lots of people have died, and quite a few rooms have been damaged..."

While Green and Binghamson were arguing idly, a shadow fell over them. They initially thought it was just a cloud flying by and didn't pay it any mind. However, after a series of flapping wings and annoying croaking sounds, they came to their senses and looked up at the sky in horror.

Above, on a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, composed of thousands or tens of thousands of pure black crows, a blurry figure gazed at the ship.

Although they were too far away to see clearly, the magical aura emanating from the figure made everyone feel as if they were immersed in a sense of oppressive and ominous fear, as if a ship was about to crash into an iceberg.

For a moment, all that remained in the view of everyone on the deck was endless darkness composed of black crows.

"Heh heh heh, wizard on the ship, come out."

Her voice was flat, somewhat hoarse like Arrowworth's, making it difficult to discern her gender.

Dira stepped out of the cabin, wand in hand. With a flutter of her wide gray robes, she flew into the sky, her face grim, and gazed at the mysterious wizard atop the clouds made up of millions of crows in the distance.

Suddenly, upon seeing the newcomer's true appearance, Dila in the sky exclaimed in shock, "A...a level two wizard!?"

"Heh heh, never seen you before. Lilith's Hut Wizarding Academy has quite a few promising talents. I've requisitioned this ship. Since you still have some potential, get lost."

Without giving Dila any face, the terrifying wizard on the dark cloud spoke in a commanding tone, seemingly disdainful of fighting Dila.

Dila's face was extremely ugly, so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

As the most outstanding arcane wizard of the 19th District of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower in the past century, Dila is widely recognized by many arcane wizards as having a high probability of being promoted to a higher level of wizard!

With hundreds of years of accumulated wizarding knowledge, even many old guys like Dila were confident they could fight him, but he never expected that today's enemy would be a level two wizard.

You should know that a level two wizard is the level of management in a typical wizarding academy; that is the core of the basic level of a wizarding academy!

Almost every headmaster of a wizarding academy has some connection with the great beings at the top of the wizarding world.

Moreover, the differences between different classes of wizards are enormous. The reason is simple: each time a wizard advances to a new class, he gains abilities that cannot be compensated for or compared to ordinary magic or talent.

Dila hesitated.

Giving up the wizarding academy for no reason would not be a big problem for an ordinary person like Hai Lun, even though the responsibility is heavy. However, given Dila's status as a first-level wizard and her talent to potentially advance to a second-level wizard, it wouldn't be too much of a problem.

But the crucial point is that this ship carries two once-in-a-century wizarding geniuses, who are now approaching the qualifying stage for the Holy Tower...

Dila said in a deep voice, "The ship can be given to you, Master. May I take the two of them with me?"

"Hmph! I told you to get out of here right now..."

After a cold snort, the chilling voice from the clouds suddenly turned into a furious roar: "You're courting death!"

No one could have imagined that Dila would launch a sneak attack first, targeting a great wizard who was one level above her!

An ice spear radiating an astonishing chill, like an arrow released from a fully drawn bow, glided across the sky, leaving a white trail before emitting a piercing shriek, and aimed straight for the heart of the second-level wizard in the dark clouds.

However, with the angry roar of the second-level wizard on the dark cloud, an astonishing magical power that even a wizarding apprentice without any meditation practice could sense suddenly erupted. The terrifying magical power even blew away some of the clouds in the sky, and the violent sea wind radiated outwards from the second-level wizard, stirring up waves.

Ding……

With a soft hum, the ice spear transformed into countless ice crystals. Almost at the same moment the second-level wizard unleashed his power, Dila, riding his magic staff, transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distant sky.

However, a huge dark cloud followed closely behind, refusing to let go.

"You can't escape!"

The wizard roared from the dark clouds, and the two gradually disappeared into the horizon.

Only then did Green and Bingham gasp for breath, as if they had been rescued from drowning, greedily inhaling the fresh air around them.

When that second-level wizard unleashed his magic, all the wizard apprentices on the deck felt as if it were the end of the world, and they couldn't breathe at all.

"That scared me to death! I thought I was going to die!"

Bingham clutched his chest, perhaps still horrified, and added, "This is unbearable! Two brushes with death in one day, and we haven't even reached the Wizarding Continent yet! Is the Wizarding Continent even a place for humans to live?"

Green also took deep breaths, his face grim, and muttered, "Looks like there's going to be a big change."
