Chapter 66 Strange Events
"I didn't expect you to be invited by that person as well."
After a long while, the black wizard looked at the little girl and finally managed to utter this sentence.
As Green came to his senses and analyzed some of the hidden information, he was startled!
Could it be that the destination of their mission, Bandar City, is a gathering place for some dark wizards?
This...this is a bit too much, isn't it?
The little girl in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the dark wizard recognized the sign in her hand. She smirked and said, "In that case, quickly tell your entourage to make way."
After hesitating for a moment, the dark wizard finally fixed his gaze on Grimm, a cold smile spreading across his youthful face. "Releasing you is no problem, and I can release those knights as well. After all, when you become one of us, we'll need these guys to do some things. However... I've taken a liking to this person. Having such a powerful follower will save me a lot of trouble."
The dark wizard stared intently at Green, his eyes gleaming with undisguised greed, as if he had spotted some treasure; his possessiveness was written all over his face.
Green felt goosebumps all over from the disgusting stare of this guy. If it weren't for the fact that this guy might have some big secret, Green would have given up on his disguise and just killed him.
A wizard with greater power cannot tolerate such insults from a weaker wizard.
"Hmph! If I get the chance, I'll definitely kill him in the most ruthless way possible!"
Green thought viciously to himself.
"No, these are my attendants, my private property. You have no right to them..."
The girl screamed, seemingly smitten after Grimm revealed his legendary knightly status. Moreover, as a dark wizard herself, she too would need a powerful ally like Grimm to do some truly wicked things.
This puzzled Green. He had always heard that dark wizards were secretive and unwilling to reveal their whereabouts to anyone, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake. When did dark wizards suddenly need a large number of helpers?
Could it be a branch of the dark wizards?
New variety?
"snort!"
The dark wizard snorted coldly, staring at the girl and saying, word by word, "I'm not discussing this with you! Perhaps I should first teach you the rules among dark wizards?"
A wicked, sinister smile appeared on the black wizard's youthful face, as if only in this way could he be befit his rightful status.
"you……"
The girl was a little scared and ultimately said nothing more. She glanced at Green with regret, then stamped her foot and said, "Let's go!"
"slow!"
The black wizard took a sip.
The girl became angry and roared, "What else do you want? Don't go too far! I was formally invited by that person!"
"Stupid idiot."
After a disdainful sneer, the dark wizard said indifferently, "You think these guys will obediently escort you to Bangal City after they find out about your relationship with me? Hmph, they'll probably kill you halfway there."
"No, no..."
"Absolutely impossible, we know absolutely nothing about it..."
The group of men, including the bear, hurriedly tried to defend themselves, their faces deathly pale. This was no time for jokes; a mishap could really lead to someone's death.
On the other side, the girl couldn't help but look at the knights, and said with a troubled expression, "What should we do? What if we don't have them..."
"Hmph, you lot, eat this, or don't even think about leaving here alive."
The black wizard took out several pills from his pocket and threw them directly on the ground in front of the bear knights, coldly staring at them.
The first to act was Iron Hammer. After gritting his teeth, he grabbed a pill from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, Iron Axe, Cobra, and Violent Bear, under the black wizard's coercion, all swallowed the pills.
The next few people looked dejected, as if they had resigned themselves to their fate.
At the same time, the others looked at Green with pity. At least they could survive by taking pills and following orders, while who knew what would happen to this legendary knight.
Green was secretly delighted.
If that's the case, then by following this little girl, we can also find the secret clues in the city of Bangal?
If that's the case, wouldn't we be able to get rid of this eyesore of a dark wizard?
Yes, perhaps my reaction as a legendary knight should be...
With a loud shout, Green turned and ran, no longer caring about anything in front of him, like a panicked rabbit.
"Hmph, poor little lamb, run away as you please! I'll make you my willing slave, heh heh heh heh..."
The black wizard's face showed an abnormal, perverse excitement, even a slight flush.
This is a perverse desire reaction after suddenly gaining great power. Seeing those who were once high and mighty now being chased like prey, that obsession with power becomes their source of pleasure.
With a "whoosh," the black wizard also caught up with Green at an extremely fast speed, seemingly possessing a very high physique.
Greene fled, and the dark wizard pursued him. After half an hourglass of this chase, the dark wizard seemed to tire of this boring game. A black mist surged to his feet and suddenly accelerated, flashing to Greene's side.
"Little lamb, I'm tired of playing with you. You'd better just be my follower, hmph hmph hmph..."
The black wizard laughed excitedly on his young face, as if he could see himself standing high at the top of the wizarding world in the future.
Green curled his lip in disdain and said, "Are all dark wizards like you? Really..."
Green couldn't even think of a suitable word. Seeing this guy reminded him of the scene when the wizarding academy welcomed new students at the beginning of the semester, a bunch of arrogant, stupid, and naive people who didn't know their own limitations.
The dark wizard's expression changed, his excitement turning cold as he said viciously, "Foolish legendary knight, you have angered your master. I will punish you by slapping you a hundred times in a moment!"
"Enough! It's time to end this farce. I can't stand your disgusting behavior anymore!"
Green was both annoyed and amused, and simply didn't want to waste any more words with this guy.
Since we can find the source by following the little girl, we just need to keep this guy's head. Taking the experimental specimen back would be too much trouble, since we still need to train.
Thinking this, under the horrified gaze of the dark wizard, a fireball slowly appeared at the tip of Green's finger.
Green grinned maliciously: "Hunting a dark wizard for the first time, it's actually quite exciting!"
"No! How could you...?"
boom!
The wave of fire engulfed the weak black wizard, and because the attack was too intense and the opponent was too weak, the struggle and screams were omitted.
A moment later, Green looked at the lone head of a dark wizard on the open ground and couldn't help but feel very satisfied with his control over the fire element.
After thinking for a moment, Green dug a hole on the spot and buried the black wizard's head.
Since he is a dark wizard and his physique was not weak just now, he shouldn't rot so quickly. He can just come back to retrieve it when he returns to the academy. For now, there is no need to go to Bangal City with that little girl. He just needs to get information from the bear and the others after that little girl leaves Bangal City.
After all, this is the safest and most secure way.
With that in mind, Green simply activated the Transformation Technique again. After the facial scars disappeared, he slowly walked towards the city of Bangal as a lone wandering knight.
Ten days later.
In a field, Seni and Ryan stared in shock at the masked knight who slowly approached.
The mask was so unique that the two of them certainly wouldn't fail to recognize Grimm just because he was dressed in knight's attire, nor would they be foolish enough to ask Harry Red where he was.
In any case, there are only two possible outcomes: either he gets killed by Green, or he escapes back to the academy and is relegated to a lower social class.
Psychologically speaking, neither of them had a high opinion of the newcomer, believing that their previous decision was just a momentary impulse, and the current result was indeed quite unexpected.
As a result, Seni and Ryan couldn't help but think more highly of this guy named Green, even considering him much better than the three Rookie of the Year.
In that case, this person will likely be added to the kill list of those four masters in the near future.
"How's the mission going?"
Green remained aloof and taciturn in front of these two men.
Ryan shrugged and sighed, "Although we finished, they beat us to it, and there were four of them working together, so neither I nor Sister Seni could get it."
"Hmph! Who knew that so-called dark wizard was just such a weakling, not much stronger than a newcomer at the wizarding academy. I spent so much time carefully investigating him!" With that, Gwyneth slammed her fist on the ground, creating a small crack. Under her mask, Green's pupils contracted!
"It's a pity. It's all our fault for being too cautious. If we had been more decisive, sigh... it turns out to be such a weak dark wizard."
After Ryan finished speaking, he gave Green a reproachful look and said, "If you could have dealt with that guy earlier and gotten here, and then you could have held off that Ivory Castle wizard apprentice named Kredia, maybe Sister Gensene and I would have had a chance to snatch that dark wizard's head."
Kredia, the enchantress of despair from the trials two years ago?
Green remembered the name.
"Why bother saying all this? Those four guys are probably back in Ivory Castle by now, turning in their mission!"
Jessini was extremely unhappy, but she didn't blame Green. After all, it was indeed difficult for a rookie to defeat Harry Red.
She certainly wouldn't have guessed that Green was so many days late because of his training.
"Forget it, this mission was really unlucky. Green, we're planning to go back to the academy, what about you?"
Ryan looked impatient; this mission had indeed made him quite unhappy.
"I plan to go check out the mission location."
Green said calmly.
A moment later, as Green watched Konstantin and Ryan walk away, a strange feeling stirred within him.
Is the dark wizard in this mission just as weak?
The dark wizard I encountered was also pitifully weak. Was this a coincidence or some other special reason?
Perhaps, the city of Bangal may indeed hold some secret.
