Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 76 [76] The Unusual Change

As law enforcement wizards and city lord wizards, they receive magic stones and extraordinary resources as stipends and rewards, but compared to wizards at the main campus of the Dark Academy, their future prospects are almost bleak.

Some wizards from this branch hold positions in Wizard City, but like Wizard Yi Si serving as the managing wizard of Ancient Forest Mountain, these positions are not permanent.

After exchanging relevant indicator and task information with the wizard of the city lord's mansion through the wizard's mark, Wang Ya left the teleportation array's range.

The costs of using the teleportation array are reimbursed by the Darklands headquarters, and in wizarding cities across the land, receipts are required.

The Demon Dragon's territory is located inland, and the environment of Zhen Dan Wizard City is indeed different. There are many wizards on the city streets, a mix of wild wizards and wizards from the Underdark, as well as some members of local wizard families. The number of mortals is still relatively large, which is unavoidable, and it is generally similar to the Ancient Forest Wizard City.

Most of the wizards in the Underdark, like Wang Ya, travel to various mortal kingdoms to carry out their respective wizarding missions.

The territory under its jurisdiction is too vast. Under one wizard city are hundreds or even thousands of mortal kingdoms. Who knows if there are any wild wizards? A wandering wizard might ruthlessly sacrifice an entire city to grind up souls and obtain extraordinary materials.

Or, if a supernatural event occurs, causing widespread death among mortals, these events are all part of the Underdark's property, and such events are generally strictly prohibited.

If anyone causes the deaths of a large number of mortals, and is a member of the main wizarding organization, they need to submit a written report; if the reasons are sufficient, they may not be held accountable. If the deaths are caused by wizards in the wild or by supernatural creatures, then the only option is to exterminate them.

Any signs of a supernatural event must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible; otherwise, it could trigger an even greater disaster, causing heavy casualties among mortals.

Because the area under their jurisdiction is so vast, such incidents occur frequently, making it somewhat difficult for the wizards of the Underdark to govern.

Wang Ya did not go directly to the Mayan Kingdom. Instead, he went to the Zhen Dan Wizard City and purchased a batch of food concentrate blocks. He used extraordinary means to compress large amounts of meat and vegetarian food to create this product.

Similar to compressed biscuits from the previous life, but a thumb-sized portion of the food concentrate is enough to sustain a wizard's bio-energy needs for three days.

For an ordinary mortal, simply cutting a small amount of powder, mixing it with water, and drinking it is enough to sustain their biological energy consumption for a whole day.

Then, I learned some more specific information about the Mayan kingdom and the vengeful spirit incident.

As Wang Ya walked out of Ziyou Street, he frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. He had very little information available, not even an accurate number of deaths.

Logically, once a supernatural event occurs in a mortal kingdom and is reported, this kind of information should be very clear.

His eyes were somewhat uncertain, and he subconsciously rubbed his fingers, then glanced at Harak on his left shoulder.

An idea popped into his mind.

As the sun sets, its afterglow falls on the tips of the grass and forest, disappearing into the distant mountains and valleys. Amidst the hazy clouds, a somber sky seems to emerge.

The caravan of merchants carrying a large amount of supplies traveled through the forest and mountain roads. The leader was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, wearing heavy armor and carrying a long sword with a cross on his back. His sharp, eagle-like eyes scanned and observed the surrounding environment.

Once you cross this mountainous area, you'll find an incredibly smooth road. Soldiers from the Mayan Kingdom patrol regularly, so bandits and thieves won't be around.

Hans was still somewhat worried. It was clearly going to rain, which would make the journey difficult. More importantly, he was concerned that something might happen to the supplies.

However, thinking of the few skilled knights he had temporarily recruited in the Kingdom of Pipa, his worries lessened considerably.

Even if there were bandits or thieves, ten knights could easily sweep them away.

The owner of the merchant caravan was a portly, middle-aged, greasy man who laboriously rode his horse to Hans's side.

"Captain Hans, I think we can take a break first; we've traveled for quite a while now."

Hans looked around and gazed at the distant landscape before nodding and saying, "President Nicotine, we can rest and recover our strength, but time is short. We must reach an open road before nightfall to set up camp."

Nicotine nodded in agreement and immediately gave the order.

The caravan members found a spot, sat down, drank water, and ate dried food.

"My lords, this is your food."

A young girl with freckles on her face, looking quite innocent, dressed in gray cloth clothes, carrying a plate of dried meat, came to the back of the caravan.

The four figures were resting, some on horseback, some leaning against carriages, and some simply sitting on the grass, clad in light armor and wielding short swords.

When the caravan leader's daughter brought them food, they didn't stand on ceremony, took a few pieces of dried meat, and began to eat.

Lass's heart raced a little as she approached the figure clad in black armor, carrying a plate. Unlike the other knights, the knight before her was young, with the dazzling golden hair and handsome face typical of noblemen.

Wang Ya, who had Arthur's appearance, looked up at the ordinary girl, nodded slightly, took the last piece of dried meat from the plate, and silently began to eat.

"Sir Arthur, please enjoy your meal." Lass instinctively held the plate to her chest with both hands.

"Hmm!" Wang Ya responded indifferently.

giggle!

The cawing of crows rang out, and a black shadow circled in the sky.

Wang Ya frowned slightly.

"Ah! Help me! Help me!"

A scream came from ahead of the caravan.

It's obvious that an accident has occurred.

The other three knights gripped their short swords, their expressions turning serious.

A disturbance broke out in the caravan; the noise was chaotic and the specific situation was unclear.

Las was also stunned by the situation, but then he saw "Knight Arthur" carrying a cross-shaped longsword and walking towards the front of the caravan.

She instinctively followed.

A strong stench of blood permeated the air, and the glaringly bright red liquid seeped into the soil.

Someone died, and the manner of their death was extremely tragic.

His entire body looked as if it had been gnawed by some creature; his body was pitted and uneven, revealing his bones. Half of his face was gone, and his internal organs were completely empty.

Hans and his guards, along with Nicotine and other members of the caravan, surrounded the dead body, but dared not approach it, keeping a distance of about two meters.

Everyone's face was filled with fear and horror.

Just now, they witnessed the death of this old caravan man, as if an invisible monster had devoured his flesh and blood, biting him to death alive.

We can't see him, we can't see the killer at all.

Wang Ya stood on the outermost edge of the crowd, her pupils gleaming with a subtle blue light.

Is this an extraordinary event, or a targeted revenge killing?

A supernatural technique that can be used without particle energy, and even ordinary people can perform it.

His gaze immediately fell upon a thin figure in the crowd.

He was very curious about the underlying principles of this method, as it appeared to be no less sophisticated than some low-level witchcraft.
