The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 62 Sorry
"The Black Rose School is about to be destroyed, Lin En." Elena said calmly.

Lin En was stunned. He was sure that he heard what Elena said, every word clearly.

But the sentence they formed made him extremely confused.

After a while, Lin En asked hesitantly:

"Are you talking about the Black Rose School in the northeast? The third-level school that is said to have a history of nearly a thousand years?"

"That's right." Elena nodded calmly.

Lin En fell silent for a moment. The news was so shocking that he just couldn't believe it.

A force with a long history and third-level wizards is about to be destroyed?
"You should be able to hear some news in five days at the shortest, or ten days at the longest," Elena added.

Whether it is the Golden Shadow Society or the Blood Pattern Society, they are ultimately just forces established by wild wizards and are far less well-informed than the schools.

"Why?" Lynn asked in confusion.

He wondered why the Black Rose School was destroyed, and also wondered why Elena suddenly told him this.

Elena chuckled:
“If you were still the same Lin En, I would say that because the third-level Black Rose Wizard has reached the end of his life, the collapse of the school is inevitable, and a war is brewing.

“But now, is there any special reason?

“Remember what Mr. Hosens said?
"In this world, order is a miraculous accident, and chaos is a cursed inevitability...

“Beyond our sight, people die every day, forces are destroyed every day, thousands of wars are fought at the same moment, just as thousands of babies are born at the same moment.

Elena slowly stood up and walked to the window. Her figure was bathed in the sunlight coming in from the window. She spoke calmly:
"Lin En, the peace and tranquility before you are just a few drops of morning dew, which will disappear once the sun shines...

“If you don’t take advantage of this time to become stronger as soon as possible, then when danger comes, you will be helpless and can only leave it to fate.

"…just like when we rode the giant spider boat nine years ago."

Lin En was silent, then realized that Elena was trying to persuade him.

"So, what do you want to do and what do you need me to do?"

Elena turned around and smiled:
"As you said, let's become stronger. Let's grab more resources so that we can all become stronger."

"What are you going to do?"

"I will tell you when you promise me." Elena replied, and then reminded him implicitly.

"I'm from the school's guard department, and you're a second-class member of the Golden Shadow Society... With these two identities, we can accomplish a lot, gain a lot of benefits, and grab a lot of resources..."

Lin En fell into deep thought, but after a while, he shook his head and refused.

"I'm sorry, Master Rose, I refuse."

Although Elena's words were tempting, it was not wise to cooperate with someone who was higher in status and strength than oneself.

Whatever Elena wanted to do, it sounded like it would require him to be at the forefront... and he didn't want that.

What's more, Lynn didn't trust Elena.

This alliance formed for the sake of interests is destined to break up because of interests in the end.

Elena was obviously a little surprised by his rejection this time. After a moment of silence, she asked:

"Is it because of what happened when I left?
"I didn't have many choices at that time. Everything was rushed..."

Lin En shook his head. He did not bother about whether Elena's words were true or not. It was meaningless to him or the original owner.

He just calmly interrupted Elena's words: "No, Lord Rose."

Elena was silent for a moment, then said:
"Sorry, Lynn."

Lin En continued to shake his head and said slowly:

"No need to apologize. I don't care about the past, Lady Rose."

These words seemed to be full of emotion, but Lynn's face was calm and composed.

Elena looked at him and suddenly said:
"It seems...you have indeed been through a lot."

Her tone rarely revealed some emotion and sigh.

Without making any more futile attempts, Elena turned and walked out of the study.

Lynn stood up to see him off.

The two walked forward in silence. As they were going downstairs, Elena spoke again: "If you were like this, maybe everything would be different."

"Impossible assumptions are meaningless, Lord Rose."

Elena paused for a moment and fell silent until she came down the stairs. Then she continued:

“The Black Rose Wizard Territory is very far away from us, so the war won’t have a big impact here.

"The biggest problem facing the Horsoms Wizard Territory right now is the green shadow you discovered."

Lin En nodded, and Elena looked at him and revealed more information.

"The school has confirmed that the green shadow is a creature from another world that was transformed by a wizard. It is some kind of god-like creature... The mastermind behind this is likely from the Holland School."

"A god-like creature?" Lin En was stunned.

"Yes, a creature that needs sacrifice or faith, born in ignorance." Elena replied, and then said,
"It was a wise choice for you to avoid the Autumn Hunt. The school believes that there may be unusual movements during the Autumn Hunt, and has secretly gathered forces and made preparations.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

"I understand. Thank you for telling me, Lord Rose."

The two walked to the door.

Elena turned around, looked at Lin En, and said:
"When I return, I will publicize the facts of what happened to the Blood Mark Society that night in the name of the Guard Department. Perhaps this will put an end to some rumors...

"However, this can only put an end to some rumors. Don't hold too high expectations."

"It requires me to pay..."

Elena shook her head and interrupted him, and finally said:
“Consider these as my apologies.

"Goodbye, Lynn."

After Elena finished speaking, she didn't stop and got into the carriage at the door.

The coachman in front of the carriage whipped the horse and carriage moved forward slowly, soon disappearing around the corner.

……

Elena really did what she said.

Just two days later, Lynn heard some members talking about Russo's death at a party.

Some members who were skeptical about his explanations before no longer had doubts, and those peace-loving members who believed that societies should get along with each other in a friendly manner also became much nicer to him.

But as Elena said, that's just the effect.

Lynn's life hasn't changed much.

A week passed quietly like this.

The news of the war in the Black Rose School finally reached the wizarding territory of Horsens.

This ancient school fell apart under the joint attack of several enemies, and only a few remnants escaped.

The Black Rose Wizard Territory fell into complete chaos.

This chaos greatly affected the surrounding trade and transportation in the following period.

Originally, Cuilin City had convoys going to the outside world every month, but now they have all stopped.

The Golden Shadow Society originally had two caravans that traveled back and forth between Black Rose City and Green Forest City for a long time, but they were also urgently recalled.

The caravan on the road returned generally safely.

However, another caravan that was almost at Black Rose City was completely destroyed, and even the first-level junior wizards who were with the team died.

You have to know that the Golden Shadow Society doesn't have many first-level wizards, so such a loss can't be said to be light.

Fortunately, the hostile Blood Mark Society also suffered a similar experience, and a first-level wizard who was heading to Black Rose City also disappeared, so the balance was maintained.

Of the three major forces in Cuilin City, only the usually low-key Snake Society did not suffer too much loss.

The impact of this major event is still ongoing.

Lin En lived his life according to the routine, and soon it was time to take a peek.
