The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 298 Witch Hunt
"The patrol disappeared without a trace?"

Crispin looked at the message in the crystal ball and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

The powerful monsters around the academy were eliminated on the first day they arrived in this world, and they also dispatched three-ring wizards to patrol to ensure that no one escaped.

But if it wasn't Warcraft, then there was only one answer to why the patrol disappeared.

Crispin looked at Zeke opposite him. The two of them were the powerful vice-presidents of the academy. Before he became the vice-president, there was only one vice-president, Zeke, in the Meteoric Wizard Academy.

This old wizard named Zeke had already followed his teacher on the battlefield when his teacher was yet to become a great wizard, and he had rich experience in warfare.

At the moment, he thought it would be better for the two of them to discuss the matter together.

"Master Zeke, what do you think about the disappearance of the patrol?" Crispin asked.

Zeke raised his head, his eyes very calm.

"Someone is approaching. What do you think? Do you want to transfer wizards from the front?"

Crispin shook his head: "Now is the best time to break through the Black Tower Academy's defense. As the attacker, we must seize every opportunity.

To deal with these rats, I think it will be enough to adjust the academy's defense measures."

Zeke nodded, "I think so too. You're more tired. I'll go and make adjustments."

……

The setting sun is setting in the west, and the sunset glow is like blood.

Richard stood three kilometers outside the Meteorite Wizard Academy, looking at the sudden change in the patrol team, and couldn't help but shook his head with a headache.

Richard could see that the command of Meteorite Academy had taken action, and the person who did it was an old wizard.

The old wizard adjusted the patrol team from a small team to a squadron, and the number of people in a patrol team increased by two times compared to before.

Moreover, each patrol team is equipped with two second-ring wizards as the team leader and deputy leader, which greatly increases the combat effectiveness of the patrol team.

Secondly, the patrol team's patrol area has shrunk significantly, and the patrol team now only patrols within the college.

Richard also saw that some wizards began to wear identity tags, which Richard estimated were the products of alchemy.

Richard estimated that the purpose of the identity card was to prevent team members from being replaced quietly.

However, their number of signs did not seem to be sufficient, with only a few teams equipped with signs.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Richard stroked his chin, looked at the Meteorite Wizarding Academy, and fell into distress.

There is no other way. Their mission is to attract wizards from the front line back to the rear, thereby reducing the pressure on the front line.

But it is clear that Meteorite Academy has no intention of transferring people back.

You can attack as much as you want, but as long as I reduce the patrol range and increase the number of patrol members, you will be like a coward.

No matter how much you attack, it's useless.

I'll wait until the war on the front line is stabilized and then I'll come back to deal with you.

"It seems that they won't transfer people unless they are beaten hard enough."

Richard untied a synthetic animal bag from his waist and put out the contents.

The three fire lizards woke up from their slumber, half-knelt in front of Richard and said:
"grown ups."

Since the secret rift in the Mirror of the World could not be opened, Richard could only put these level 3 fire lizards into the pocket of the synthetic beast before bringing them into the Mirror of the World.

Richard untied another pocket, took out the parts of the Mechanic Type 1 individual armor and handed them to the three fire lizards, asking them to wear them themselves.

After more than a year of training, several fire lizards have become very skilled in wearing armor.

With the help of each other, the three people spent nearly half an hour putting on and debugging the armor.

Makar, who had come out earlier, also came to Richard's side at this moment, and the witch hunting team formed by Richard was now officially full.

The three fire lizards that came out later looked at the tall tower in the distance, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

Although the core wizard tower of the Meteorite Wizard Academy is not as tall as the Black Tower of the Great Wizard, it is still seven or eight hundred meters high. This is the first time that the Salamanders have seen such a tall building.

The shock was no less than the first time I saw the floating city.

"Sir, is this the wizard academy you mentioned?" a salamander asked, "Such a huge city, such... magnificent building, is it really just a school?"

The fire lizard's name was Heraen. Before joining the Shield of Morik, he was a famous noble architect in the Morik Empire.

As an architect, he knew only too well how terrifying that tower was.

It is unbelievable that such a tall tower is made of stone.

Because if stone is used as the material, the weight of such a tall tower alone is enough to crush the stone into pieces.

This tower must have used a lot of technology that he didn't know about.

"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you." Richard pointed to the tall tower in the distance and said, "In the wizarding world, the academy is equivalent to your capital.

And the tall tower you see is the residence of another great wizard."

Heraen looked at the tower and felt relieved again.

He was glad that he could see such a magnificent building, and was also glad that Richard was the first to find the New World Island.

The more he learned about the wizarding world, the more desperate Salamander became.

The gap between civilizations was so great that even their hatred was shaken.

When the gap between the two hatreds is too big, people's mentality often changes. The hatred of ants is meaningless to giants.

The other two fire lizards were also shocked by the magnificence of the tower, but they were not architects and did not have as deep an understanding as Heraen.

"Sir, what should we do next?" asked a fire lizard.

This fire lizard's name is Kava. Before joining the Shield of Morik, he was the most outstanding fire beast hunter in the Morik Empire.

"Do your job, hunt."

Richard looked at the Meteorite Wizard Academy in the distance and spoke slowly.

Although with his current strength, he can kill everyone in the Meteorite Academy, but doing so will only attract the pursuit of those three-ring wizards.

Although the witch hunting team is powerful, they only have four fire lizards.

According to the information Richard collected, there are at least dozens of three-ring wizards in the Meteorite Wizard Academy.

If the Meteorite Wizard Academy targeted him and sent out multiple third-ring wizards to hunt him down, he would be doomed even with a witch-hunting team.

After all, the Mechanic Type I individual armor is not the sacred armor left by the forerunners, which can allow the fire lizard to kill the three-ring wizard as easily as killing a chicken after wearing it.

In a wide enough field, facing an experienced three-ring wizard, a single fire lizard wearing type I Mechanic individual armor will still be defeated by the three-ring wizard. It will just take a little more effort.

So Richard must exercise restraint and find a balance.

This speed would allow Meteorite Academy to withdraw wizards from the front lines, but would not force Meteorite Academy to send out three-ring wizards to hunt him down.

"Sir, the prey is hiding in its nest. If you want to hunt it, you must have bait." Kava took a look at the environment inside the academy. The first time he saw those patrol teams, Kava instinctively felt that this team was difficult to deal with.

"Bait?" Richard suddenly chuckled, "Isn't the bait right in front of you?

I am the biggest bait, hoping to catch a big fish."

"Are you the bait?" asked the only female fire lizard in the witch hunting team.

"How can you be a bait? We all depend on you for survival, so you must not get into any trouble.

We'll think of something else about the bait later."

The female Salamander is named Mishan. Before joining the Shield of Morik, she was a famous noble doctor in the Morik Empire.

Richard had some impression of her. Back then on the New World Island, she was one of the first few salamanders to sign a contract.

Richard waved his hand: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

……

After modifying the patrol range and patrol team personnel, the news of the patrol team's disappearance disappeared from Crispin's crystal ball.

Although the Meteorite Wizard Academy was not built like a fortress, there were many defensive measures inside. The magic light prism towers that looked like street lamps covered the entire outer ring of the academy.

These light prism towers are directly powered by the magic pool of the core wizard tower. Each attack can reach two thousand energy levels, and the attack ranges of the light prism towers overlap. If you are unlucky, you can attract attacks from two or even three light prism towers.

Once the patrol team discovers a suspicious target, these light prism towers will start working under the guidance of the alarm signal.

At that time, unless the intruder is a three-ring wizard, he will most likely die on the spot.

At night, the patrol team patrolled as usual.

Led by two second-ring wizards who had participated in plane expeditions, the entire patrol team was silent. All wizards released their mental power, always alert to the surrounding environment and not missing any suspicious places.

For wizards who have experienced war, the battlefield is never a place to be carefree, and any slackness will only lead to death. Under their request, those novice wizards who have never been on the battlefield can only cheer up and take patrolling, a boring and unprofitable job, seriously.

Suddenly, the second-ring wizard at the front of the team stopped, and a bright beam of light shot out from the lantern in his hand, dispelling a shadow fifty meters away from him.

When the patrol members saw him doing this, they also shone their lanterns towards that area.

As the illuminated area expanded, a special shadow flashed before everyone's eyes.

Under the light, the shadow did not disappear immediately, but paused for a moment.

This moment might be hidden from the novice wizards in the team, but it would definitely not be hidden from the two second-ring wizards who had experienced the war.

"Someone has sneaked in!"

The second-ring wizard shouted loudly, and a red light flew out from his palm, and in the blink of an eye he entered the core wizard tower.

The patrol members waved their staffs, and chaotic spells instantly covered the area around the shadow. The light prism towers around them had awakened, and the colorless crystals on the top of the light prism towers suddenly turned bright red.

Then, a figure emerged from the shadows, and judging by the fluctuations of magic power, it seemed to be a second-ring wizard.

After the wizard appeared, he flashed and appeared in a shadow farther away, then fled out of the academy without looking back.

He moved so fast that he disappeared from the patrol wizard's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Captain, are we going to catch this rat?" asked a novice wizard eagerly.

After becoming wizards, these novice wizards rarely experienced combat. Now that they can take action, they are all eager to test their years of research success on hostile wizards.

But both captains shook their heads.

"It's not our job to catch them."

As he spoke, a team of five dark wizards rushed in from the depths of the academy. Each of these dark wizards was a second-ring wizard, and on their chests, a scarlet alchemical badge was particularly eye-catching.

They came to the patrol team, and the patrol leader said a few words to the wizard leading the team, and then led the patrol team to continue patrolling along the route.

The second-ring team quickly moved in the direction the figure left and soon disappeared into the darkness.
