Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

Maurice died just like that, his body lying paralyzed on the ground, just like his partner Hans.

Two mummified corpses lay on the ground, their bodies devoid of any blood.

Gu Chen stepped forward and first picked up the Black Forest Permit that he had placed on the ground as a trap.

The badge was stained with a little dirt. Gu Chen wiped it with the wide sleeve of his black robe, then folded it and wrapped his hands in the robe.

Grey Tower Academy will not concern itself with what happens in the Black Forest, even in the outer areas that are only separated from Grey Tower Academy by a single wall.

Joe Baker must know who did it, and Gu Chen's actions had nothing to do with hiding his identity.

This is because there are many different schools of wizards, each with its own unique methods.

Perhaps you only left behind a single hair, and a wizard used that as a curse to make you die in your sleep.

"one two three……"

"Logically speaking, as expected of a fire wizard, his corpse was still quite hot after he died, and his wizard robe was still a bit hot to the touch."

Gu Chen first searched through Hans's body and found a Black Forest permit. Then he pulled out some other odds and ends, nothing special.

What made Gu Chen happiest was that he actually found a total of 5 magic stone fragments!

"They're blind to building bridges and repairing roads, but rich in murder and arson..."

The magic stone fragments were crystal clear, shimmering with a beautiful and captivating light.

Gu Chen put it into his robe, and then couldn't wait to start rummaging through Maurice's body.

Like the fire wizard Hans, the corpse of the water wizard Morris also fit his chosen wizarding style, exuding a chilling aura.

But that doesn't matter at all. Gu Chen had seen too many dead people in the month he spent in front of the Soul Furnace. Some were beaten half to death, some were completely dead, and some had missing limbs...

So, Jim was actually in pretty good condition back then; at least he wasn't missing any limbs.

"There's still one license left, but only two magic stone fragments."

"Poor bastard."

This time the harvest was less, but when all the things the two of them had plundered were added together, it was still a considerable fortune for Gu Chen.

Two Black Forest permits, I don't know how many days they've been used, but each one can be sold for 9 magic stone fragments.

Hans brought 5 magic stone fragments, and Maurice brought 2.

You can get a total of 25 coins.

"It's a pity that I'm currently too busy with too many problems, otherwise I could wait for Morris to take me to get the magic stone fragments he hid."

He sighed slightly, but didn't feel too bad. Morris's life was not going to be spared. Just the fact that his mental perception range and spell damage were far beyond that of ordinary people meant that if Joebeck's men found out, they would devise some methods to deal with him.

At present, Gu Chen can be completely certain that Jobeck of the Antinoya family really wants to kill him, and... the mysterious person who accompanied Jobeck, as mentioned by Morris, seems to be related to both Antinoya and the Kingdom of Lorian.

"The situation is getting more and more dangerous... It's Antinoya again, and then it's Lorian."

"I'm afraid Jim's identity is indeed somewhat of a secret..."

"Luckily, I left Jim with the magic stone fragments and some instructions, otherwise, some problems might have really arisen while I was away."

The thought of Jim filled Gu Chen with worry.

Jim is currently too weak, and in theory, he is a burden. He needs my help in almost every aspect, including life, studies, and skill improvement.

It even subtly led him into a dangerous vortex of conspiracy.

However, Gu Chen's current strength, which far exceeds his own level, is ultimately due to Jim's efforts.

Therefore, if Jim is in danger, Gu Chen will definitely pay 100% attention to resolve the situation!

"Jim is my student, and his problems are my problems."

"It's alright. The teacher has some ability now. As you grow, the teacher will grow accordingly as well."

"Right now... we need to keep moving. We'll find a safe place and use the Bloodhoof Deer blood we just acquired, combined with the Apprentice Blood extracted from Jim, to enhance our talents!"

"There are only 28 days left, let's speed things up."

Gu Chen hid the obtained license and magic stone fragments deep inside his robe, ignoring the corpses of Hans and Morris lying paralyzed on the ground.

"I should go too, otherwise some things I can't handle will come out and I'll have to eat them."

The Black Forest is teeming with magical beasts, and the reason why Gu Chen hasn't encountered many yet is quite simple: he's located in the outer areas.

Most magical beasts have a strong sense of territory and will not voluntarily step out of their territory, because this often means invading the territory of other magical beasts.

But there is one difference.

"Carrion-eating monster"

These magical beasts are numerous and feed on the corpses of other magical beasts and wizards.

He might sound like a scavenger, but he's not as weak as many people imagine.

In fact, these carrion-eating monsters deal with corpses all year round, and inevitably become tainted with the spirits, blood, and resentment of the dead.

Most wizards can only specialize in one style, or they can minor in another, but they cannot master all of them.

But Warcraft is different; they are like the darlings of the world, and can even master several different styles at the same time.

Carrion-eating monsters are among the best, as they often cultivate together with three types of monsters: undead, blood, and mind.

And they don't have any fixed territory; they run around everywhere.

It's estimated that it won't be long before the carrion monsters come smelling the aroma and then enjoy these two free meals.

The spiritual power of a dead wizard will automatically dissipate into the world, and the magic will return to all things in the world as the corpse decomposes. Of course, if you directly gnaw on the corpse, you will also absorb a little bit of the magic that has not yet dissipated, which is also part of the natural cycle.

Carrion-eating monsters can even reach the strength of a second- or third-ring wizard by feeding on the corpses of intruders, which truly made Gu Chen marvel at the wonders of nature...

Wizards need to build core spell models to advance from apprentice to full wizard, while monsters seem to be born with that ability.

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Chen once again activated the Star Gazing Technique in his mind.

The spirit was projected outward, scanning the surrounding terrain and sensing danger.

"Seems like there's no problem... The Black Forest is so quiet today. Apart from me and these two intruders, and a few small earth-type magical beasts, there's basically no movement."

After searching the area, Gu Chen found no danger.

"Hmm... If we go a little further north, there will be more Bloodhoof Deer inside the Rocky Slope. If my first ritual fails, I can hunt again and obtain new materials."

After finalizing the plan and using stargazing to determine the direction and path to take, Gu Chen headed deeper into the forest.

The Black Forest was eerily quiet; the leaves rustled in the wind...
