Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 328 Investigation

The reconstruction of Vil Town is not something that can be done overnight, and Viper Academy has sent many people to help with this task.

Senior Wizard Apprentice Senior was one of them.

He had the medicine distributed, and seeing that he had almost finished with his work, he gave a few instructions and turned to walk towards the house behind him.

Push open the door.

He slowly approached a figure conducting an experiment and whispered:

"Senior, I just saw Lynn."

"Lynn?" Angus looked up, a look of confusion in his eyes. He thought for a moment before recalling the name from his memory, then chuckled and shook his head.

"Is he still alive?"

"Alive." Senior bowed his head.

"Not only is he alive, but he seems to be doing quite well. He was taken in as a disciple by the wizard Kitto, and is now a formal apprentice at the academy."

"Well……"

"He's working for the sorceress Natalie now."

"Click!"

Suddenly, cracks appeared in a glass container used for testing, and the solution inside began to seep out.

"This batch of materials is substandard and needs to be replaced."

Angus waved his hand expressionlessly, and the shattered container and its contents were swept into the trash heap.

"You handle this for me."

"Yes." Senior bowed his head.

"You can rest assured about what I do, senior."

…………

Jeff wiped the sweat from his brow, took a deep breath to calm his racing heart, and gently knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

"squeak……"

The strange noise of the door hinges turning lingered in my mind.

Jeff, with a fawning smile, took small steps toward Senior's side:

"Senior, you wanted to see me?"

The reason he has lived a comfortable life all these years is because he has the backing of the other party and is doing business between the academy and wild wizards.

It can be said,

Since the other party held everything over him, he naturally tried every means to please them.

"Um."

Senior held a bronze bottle shaped like a curved gourd, fiddling with it, and patted Jeff on the shoulder with a faint smile:

"How have you been lately?"

"Although the monster invasion is a bad thing, I heard you made a lot of money from it, and you even changed all your clothes."

"It's all thanks to my senior's help." Jeff chuckled dryly.

"Monster corpses are hard currency, and I happen to have a few items I'd like you to help me examine their origins..."

"No need," Senior waved his hand.

Guess who I saw today?

"Who?"

"Lynn".

"..." Jeff licked his lips and gave an awkward smile:

"Senior, please let me explain. I was planning to take action against him, but something unexpected happened to the person I hired."

"Heh..." Senior raised an eyebrow:

"Who gave you permission to lay a hand on him?"

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Jeff was taken aback, then came to his senses:

"I also wanted to do my part for Senior Angus, but unfortunately Lynn was lucky and escaped unscathed."

"You've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on an academy disciple?" Senior laughed, pointing at him.

"He wasn't a formal student of the academy back then," Jeff explained, his expression suddenly changing.

"Senior, you don't mean I have to do it myself, do you?"

He dared to take action before because Lynn had been expelled from the academy, and no one would care if he killed him.

but now,

He had also heard about Lynn's situation.

Killing a formal disciple of the academy is no small matter. Even though he was quite bold, his face turned pale.

"You've already made your move." Senior tossed the bronze bottle in his hand:

"Is it too late to regret it now?"

"..." Jeff's eyes darted around in confusion:

"Senior, Lynn is already an intermediate wizard apprentice, and I suspect that he also killed the Blue Dog brothers."

"I...I'm afraid I'm no match for him."

"Don't worry." Senior patted him on the shoulder again and placed the copper bottle in his hand into his.

I will help you.

"Also, Angus has become a formal wizard, it just hasn't been announced yet, you understand."

Jeff's eyes lit up.

Angus and Natalie, the two top geniuses of Viper Academy back then, are now both formal wizards.

"Click..."

Lynn stepped on the dilapidated wooden planks, which made a crisp cracking sound, and frowned as he examined the scene before him.

This is a ruin.

It was originally a courtyard for washing clothes.

The broken stone slabs and fractured ditches indicate that there were quite a few clothes that needed to be washed every day.

"Wizards' robes require special cleaning and repair methods, and even when worn daily, they like to add fragrance and apply body-fitting magic."

A man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit paced back and forth in the arena, muttering to himself:

"So business here is very good, there are dozens of female workers responsible for washing clothes."

"Susan, whom the senior mentioned, is one of them."

Lynn nodded.

Nearly a month has passed since the Abyss monsters invaded Vil Town, and Susan has not shown her face.

He had been to Susan's house, but it was long gone, and none of the surviving neighbors had ever seen her.

So I asked the town's law enforcement team to help me investigate.

finally,

That's where I found it.

"To make a living, Susan took on at least three jobs, and washing clothes with witchcraft was just one of them."

Lynn said:

"Are you sure this is where she finally disappeared?"

"OK." The man nodded.

"We investigated other locations, and based on Miss Susan's schedule at the time, she should have been here."

"Senior..."

After hesitating for a moment, the man spoke in a low voice:

"Miss Susan may have been killed. When the monsters invaded, many people were killed."

"No." Lynn shook her head:

"There is no large bloodstain here, nor is there any sign of death."

"That's worse." The man shrugged.

"Abyssal monsters also capture women to help them reproduce, which is more despairing than killing them."

Lynn turned to look at him, her eyes cold.

"I'm sorry." The man's face turned pale.

"That's not what I meant... Actually, many dark wizards took advantage of the chaos to loot and rob people that day, and perhaps Miss Susan was taken away by them."

Wizard apprentices are considered a valuable commodity by some dark wizards, and are essential for witchcraft experiments.

Actually,

Not just wild wizards.

The wizards in the academy also need living people to conduct experiments, but they mostly use magic stones to lure others to cooperate willingly.

But there are also instances of forced buying and selling behind the scenes, something that people who come from academia are naturally aware of.

Whether you die in an accident or are abducted by monsters or wild wizards, nothing good will come of it.

but……

I still owe her a magic stone.

Lynn closed his eyes, relaxing his mind and body.

At this moment, his physique was comparable to that of a great knight, his mental strength was increasing day by day, and his perception was extremely sharp.

"Well……"

Opening his eyes, Lynn strolled to a corner of the ruins, bent down and picked up a tuft of blue fluff from the ground.

Let's go!

"Yes."

…………

On the way back, Lynn lowered his eyes, examined the fluff in his hand, and after a long while, he sighed softly and put it away.

in fact,

Susan's fate is already sealed; he just doesn't want to admit it.

She was a gentle and kind girl...

"Whoosh!"

Lynn's figure flashed, leaving an afterimage in the arena, and his body appeared several meters away.

Where he had originally stood, a sharp spike about a meter long pierced through the afterimage and embedded itself in the thick ground.

Ripples spread through the air as a demon slowly emerges.

Not far away.

Jeff huddled in the corner, holding a gourd-shaped copper bottle in his left hand and rapidly rubbing the bottle's surface with his right.

He was chanting complex incantations.

"Although the Two-Horned Demon is merely a low-level monster in the abyss, it's still a rank-up being. Even a legendary knight might not be able to defeat it, and it possesses powerful resistance to witchcraft. Let's see how you die today!"
