The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 126 Fisherman
"Did he escape?" Makarov sighed. "Even if he did, the Phantom Ruler is showing signs of starting a war, and the guild still has a lot of things to deal with."

After saying that, he turned around with his hands behind his back and left the messy place.

In fact, Weiss did not escape, he just hid and was checking the wand in his hand which had several cracks.

This wand has accompanied him through more than ten years of ups and downs and witnessed countless battles, but it can no longer withstand such high-intensity magic release.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you. It's time to upgrade you." Weiss whispered to the wand, as if it could actually hear him.

"But the more important thing now is to pull out the little mouse from underground."

As soon as Weiss finished speaking, the lurkers underground immediately felt an unprecedented crisis and hurriedly tried to escape.

With a deafening bang, Weiss had blasted the ground apart, sending dirt flying everywhere.

A figure emerged from the soil. This person was Thor, one of the "Four Elements" of the "Phantom Ruler" guild.

"Stop, I mean no harm!" Thor's voice was filled with a hint of fear. He hurriedly struggled to crawl out of the soil, his body covered with mud and grass clippings.

Weiss looked warily at the man who emerged from the earth.

Thor has messy green hair, wears a well-tailored brown suit and a monocle, a typical gentleman's outfit.

This outfit seemed out of place with his wretched appearance.

Weiss recognized him easily.

"Did your president send you to follow Makarov?" Weiss shook her head, dismissing the idea. "That's impossible. You can't hide from Makarov with your abilities. Apparently, you came into the area while we were fighting, didn't you?"

"Hey~hey," Thor rubbed his hands, a smile on his face, trying to make himself look more friendly.

"The Guild Master only asked me to monitor the situation in the city, but I didn't expect to witness such a spectacular confrontation. A battle between two powerful men is truly a rare sight!"

Weiss's face darkened. "Does it look good?" he asked coldly.

"It's simply speechless!" Thor squeezed out these words stiffly. He realized that his situation was very dangerous and tried to defend himself, "I didn't mean to..."

Weiss was in no mood to listen to any further explanation.

He waved his arms impatiently, instantly petrifying Thor completely and depriving him of the ability to move without even having a chance to resist.

"This guy should know a lot of secrets of the 'Phantom Ruler'," Weiss thought to himself, and had no intention of ending Thor's life easily.

He decided to delve into the other party's memory and find any clues that might be useful for the next action.

So, he concentrated his mental power, directly invaded Thor's brain, and began to explore the memories therein.

Through Thor's memory, Weiss not only learned the details of the recent activities of the "Phantom Ruler" guild, but also accidentally discovered some of Thor's unique techniques for practicing earth magic.

This information wasn't very important to Wes, but it was better than nothing.

More importantly, Weiss also learned that Joseph Pola, the president of the "Phantom Ruler" guild, had been secretly collecting a large amount of precious materials recently.

Only Joseph Pola himself knows the specific hiding place, but as long as Wes follows the clues, he will always find clues.

"I've run out of materials, so this is a good time to replenish them." Weiss looked into the distance, as if he had foreseen the harvest in the near future.

"Anyway, he will be defeated by the Fairy Tail people in the end, and I just need to reap the benefits." Weiss became very interested in the precious materials that Joseph Pola had privately collected and the dark magic skills he mastered.

After obtaining the necessary information, Weiss threw Thor aside like trash, leaving him in a petrified state.

He turned his attention to more important matters, how to improve the performance of his wand.

[Wait a few more days, I can use this time to think about upgrading my wand, or even sketch a rough draft.]

Meanwhile, the conflict between the Fairy Tail Guild and the Phantom Ruler is in full swing.

Weiss did not directly intervene in the fight between the two sides, but chose to be a bystander and quietly observe the development of the situation.

In the end, as he expected, the Fairy Tail Guild defeated the Phantom Ruler with the concerted efforts of everyone, and its president Joseph Pola was also completely defeated by Fairy Tail's president Makarov using the super magic "Fairy Law".

Throughout the whole process, Weiss had been paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation, especially the powerful war fortress displayed by the Phantom Overlord and the "Fairy's Law" cast by Makarov, which opened his eyes.

After the war, the Magic Council quickly intervened, arrested the defeated Phantom Ruler President Joseph Pola, and prepared to escort him back to the Council headquarters for trial.

When the Council's escort troops left Magnolia City, Weiss had the perfect opportunity to act.

As the council's team gradually moved away, a young man wearing glasses rode a horse in the front, attracting special attention.

He suddenly raised a hand and ordered, "Stop."

The entire team immediately stopped moving forward.

The armed forces affiliated with the Magic Council quickly adjusted their formation and surrounded the prisoner wagon with spears in hand.

At this moment, Weiss walked slowly out of the woods nearby and faced the escort personnel of the Council directly.

"Please, please hand over President Joseph Pola to me."

The bespectacled captain dismounted, his wand clenched in both hands and pointed at Weiss, "Are you a remnant of the Phantom?"

Weiss shook his head. "Looks like you're going to refuse. I didn't mean to use force."

"Arrogant!" Captain with glasses took the lead in attacking.

In less than a minute, the once majestic council members fell to the ground and lost their ability to move.

Weiss easily resolved all obstacles, but he did not kill the members of the council, he just made them temporarily lose their fighting ability.

He walked to the prison van and opened the cage easily.

Joseph Pola was in a very bad condition at the moment. The backlash of super magic and the seal of the Council made this once invincible Ten Holy Mages extremely weak.

"Who are you? Aren't you here to save me?"

Weiss directly extracted Joseph's memory.

In this way, he not only obtained the secret of Joseph's practice of black magic, but also learned the location of a hidden treasure.
