Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 167 Acquaintances
Khadim patrols around Morningstar Academy.

The mission he accepted was to guard this area and be responsible for preventing the remaining forces of Morning Star Academy from escaping.

After the battle half a month ago, although Morning Star College has been destroyed, there are still a large number of remaining forces lurking around, and they have not yet appeared at this moment.

These people are all hidden dangers. Although they are not strong, they may have nightmare followers.

After all, the appearance of nightmare marks does not depend on strength.

From formal wizards to ordinary apprentices, this thing may appear.

Katim accepted this task as an official wizard and was responsible for leading several apprentices to seal off the area.

His apprentices spread around and began to actively search for the remaining apprentices.

They are highly motivated.

After all, in order to hunt down the remaining forces of Morning Star Academy, the price offered by the Brilliance Society was very high.

Every time they catch a nightmare follower, they can get almost as much reward as it took them several years to accumulate.

If we catch a few more, we might even have the resources to be promoted to official wizards.

It would be strange if this wasn't positive.

Khadim was among the group.

However, he did not take the initiative to search the ruins. He only walked around from time to time, relying on his powerful mental induction.

After careful sensing, I actually made some discoveries.

Some potential apprentices were found along the way, and some were also real mark owners.

This made everyone overjoyed.

Except for Katim.

He looked at the apprentices in front of him with disappointment on his face.

No one knows.

After careful inquiry, nothing new was discovered.

These people didn't seem to know much. They only knew that after the accident that day, the college was in ruins.

They were also forced to hide to avoid being hunted by the Radiant Society.

"Forget it, just take it away."

Katim looked disappointed and waved to the people on the side to take him away to avoid wasting time.

Just when Katim thought that he would be disappointed this time, a familiar energy suddenly emerged.

It was a very familiar spiritual force, coming from not far away at this moment.

"Lord Katim, there is something new here!"

A burst of excited shouts suddenly sounded.

Someone seems to have discovered something new there.

Katim's heart moved, so he took steps and walked directly over.

In front of a ruined building, several apprentices were hiding there, led by a tall female apprentice who looked very dignified.

They were hiding in the corner of the ruins, and their aura looked very weak. The strongest among them was only a second-class apprentice.

It is precisely because of such weak strength that their aura is weak, so they have been hiding for so long without being discovered by the pursuers.

But now, this good luck has finally come to an end.

Looking at the excited middle-aged apprentices standing in front of them, their faces were full of despair.

The wizards sent by the Radiance Society to search this time were at least third-level apprentices.

Together, their group of second-level apprentices are no match for each other.

Not to mention that there is an official wizard behind the other party.

But when the other party spoke, the apprentices in front of them were stunned.

Katim?
Very familiar name.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and a figure that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar to them walked over.

He was a handsome young man, wearing a black robe. He looked young and friendly. He stood there with a smile on his face, giving people a gentle feeling.

Looking at this figure, their eyes suddenly widened, and they were sure of it.

Yes, this was the Katim they knew.

"It turned out to be them."

Katim looked at the apprentices in front of him and was a little surprised.

He didn't expect to meet old acquaintances here.

When Katim first joined Morning Star Academy, there were many new apprentices at the same time.

Although Katim didn't pay too much attention to these classmates, he still socialized with many of them and became superficially passable friends.

There were a few people inside who were even his former followers.

For example, Eileen Wei is among this group of people at the moment.

However, compared to the past, her appearance at the moment has also changed a lot. She is standing there now, looking at Katim with a suspicious look, and seems to be quite surprised by Katim's appearance.

Katim stood quietly, facing her gaze, shaking his head at her and making a quiet gesture to her.

Elinwei was immediately relieved.

"Lord Katim."

The middle-aged apprentice in front of him looked excited.

Their team has been busy here for several days, but so far they have only captured three apprentices, only one of whom has the nightmare mark.

And this time, there were five apprentices captured here, which was more than they had ever tried in such a long time.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a big gain.

But when he took out the magic items and specifically tested them, his face immediately fell.

"Damn!"

He cursed secretly.

There were five apprentices, and none of them even had a nightmare mark holder.

This disappointed him.

"Since there is no mark, how about leaving these five apprentices to me?"

Katim smiled: "I have an experiment under my command, and there is a shortage of living apprentices to serve as materials. These apprentices are given to me to help." "This"

A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on the middle-aged apprentice's face.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer."

Katim's face was gentle: "Three bottles of psychotropic potion, what do you think?"

"This price is almost the same as the mission reward. It is considered a good reward for you."

As soon as the price came out, the middle-aged apprentice's face suddenly showed a look of excitement.

But he looked at Katim in front of him, and then at the five apprentices behind him. He seemed to have noticed something at this moment, and he simply said in his heart: "No, three bottles are not enough."

"Mr. Katim, I want ten bottles of psychotropic potions!"

There was strong greed in his eyes: "Mr. Katim, you don't want your acquaintance with these apprentices to be known, do you?"

"of course."

The smile on Katim's face remained unchanged, and his tone remained gentle: "You earned this."

Looking at the smile on Katim's face, the middle-aged apprentice suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He felt a little uneasy and subconsciously wanted to say something.

Pfft!

There was a light noise.

Blood slowly trickled down the wound and fell to the ground.

He looked down blankly and saw a long sword thrust out from his chest, piercing directly through his chest.

It contained huge life energy, which deprived him of all his life force in an instant.

"you you."

His eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Katim.

But Katim always smiled and looked at him quietly.

A moment later, the middle-aged apprentice died.

Aileen Wei and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Katim."

She stood up from the ground and looked at Katim apologetically.

Just now, it was because of their poor expression control that the middle-aged apprentice in front of them saw some clues, which led to the current result.

"It's ok."

Katim smiled and didn't care: "The result is almost the same anyway."

"Come with me."

He stored the middle-aged apprentice's body directly into the ring, and then walked out with Irene Wei and others.

There was no cover-up in the whole process, but it was done openly.

In any case, Katim is also an official wizard, so he still has this privilege.

And according to the regulations, all the things obtained in the mission are his trophies.

After confirming that there were no nightmare marks on Elinwei and others, he took them out.

After going out, the first thing Elinwei and others did was to find a tavern and have a big meal.

They looked like they had been hungry for a long time, so they were very hungry now. Everyone kept eating until they stopped after a long time.

Katim sat quietly aside, watching them eat.

Not to mention, watching others wolfing down the food made Katim unconsciously have some appetite, so he simply had some food brought up and had a taste.

"Do you need to go down and rest for a while?"

After finishing the meal, Katim asked.

"no need."

Eileen Wei shook her head: "There's no need to be so anxious."

After all, they are also second-level apprentices, and their physical fitness is much better than ordinary people. Even after hiding for such a long time, they can still maintain their spirits at this moment.

"Do you know where Teacher Lilian is going?"

Katim asked.

"Probably know some."

Eileen Wei said: "On that day, when the academy was breached, the instructors of the academy escaped separately. Instructor Lilian seemed to have gone north. I don't know if she was caught."

"To the north?"

Katim nodded, certain in his heart.

The Radiance Society's blockade force against Morning Star College is mostly focused on several other aspects.

As for the north, he remembered that there wasn't much power there.

If nothing else happens, Lilian should still be able to run away.

It depends on luck.

"What are your plans next?"

After confirming Lilian's movements, Katim continued to ask.

Aileen Wei and others shook their heads in confusion.

With this current situation, they were a little confused at the moment.

They were originally apprentices at Morning Star Academy, but now even the academy has been breached.

And their status as Morning Star Academy apprentices also made them a little worried.

After all, Glory will dominate this area now, and once their identity as an apprentice of Morning Star Academy is exposed, it is likely to cause them trouble.

They are not like Katim.

As an official wizard, Katim is strong enough. Even if his identity is exposed, as long as the nightmare mark is not exposed, there is a high probability that no one will come to trouble him.

After all, looking for trouble or something depends on cost-effectiveness.

"Since you have nowhere to go, then go to my place and stay for a while."

Katim smiled: "Leave Ryan for a while, and when the time is right, it won't be too late to come back."
