Wizard Immortal

Chapter 181 Meeting

Inside the warm and spacious hotel, as dinner time approached, the guests who had been staying there came downstairs to the restaurant located below.

Perhaps because this town is rarely visited, there were only three or four wooden tables occupied besides Adir, which stood out conspicuously in the spacious restaurant.

In front of Adir, at a large wooden table, two people were sitting, one dressed in a black robe and the other in a red robe, both exuding an eerie aura.

The one in the black robe was an old man with deep wrinkles on his face, who looked quite old. However, he exuded a unique and strange aura, somewhat similar to that of Cisti earlier.

The other person, dressed in a red robe, was a middle-aged man with a cold and arrogant face, who looked like someone not to be trifled with.

A subtle spiritual fluctuation emanated from him, causing people to instinctively feel panic and want to stay away from him.

Sitting on a wooden chair, sensing the auras of the two people in the distance, Adir felt a chill run down his spine.

"They're all certified wizards..."

As he ate the sumptuous food on the table, he sighed inwardly.

The chip in my mind couldn't detect the two people's physical data. Their bodies were covered by a thin force field, which concealed all their aura.

Only a formal wizard can do this, and the two people in front of us are not even ordinary formal wizards.

Leaving aside the old man in black robes, the eerie aura emanating from him, somewhat similar to that of Sisti and the others, suggests that Sisti and the others are undoubtedly under his control.

As for the other middle-aged wizard in the red robe, he was no ordinary wizard either. He was most likely a blood wizard who had been on the battlefield and whose combat power was far greater than that of an ordinary wizard.

These two wizards were ones that Adir would normally have to treat with caution, no matter which one he encountered. Now, he had run into both of them in this remote town.

To the right of the two wizards, a group of other apprentices gathered together and sat at another large wooden table.

Andrew and Cisti sat to one side, their faces stiff, saying nothing as they silently ate their dinner.

The others were the same, quietly eating their dinners without saying a word.

After they finished dinner, they didn't linger there, but went their separate ways. Some went back to their rooms upstairs, while others headed outside.

Among them, Sisti and Andrew walked outside together.

The two wizards at the wooden table in front of Adir showed no reaction to this, seemingly unconcerned about their escape.

After quietly finishing his dinner, Adir got up to pay the bill and then walked outside.

The moment he turned and walked to the hotel door, he lowered his head slightly, and his appearance changed rapidly, transforming him into a black-haired youth.

Walking along the road, after thinking for a moment, Adir first went back to his room, changed out of his black robe, and then came out again, continuing to walk outside.

The town is only so big. Even though we can't use our mental powers to search directly because of the two official wizards, it's still easy to find Andrew and his group.

Walking down the wide street, Andrew, dressed in a long robe, was leading the way.

Beside him were Cisti, and two other apprentices, who were casually strolling around.

Although they were walking around, they didn't look happy at all. Instead, they all had indifferent expressions and seemed to care about nothing.

Slowly, they looked around and then walked into an empty alley.

Once they arrived, they cautiously looked around to make sure no one was following them before they breathed a sigh of relief.

"The female apprentice who was monitoring us didn't come along..."

After looking around, Cisti spoke first.

"In her mind, we're probably already dead... so there's no need for us to follow anymore."

Another female apprentice, dressed in a light green robe, turned to the others with a bitter expression: "How are you all feeling?"

"It's really uncomfortable... My magic power is completely sealed, and my mental sea is also in trouble. I can't even meditate normally, let alone construct spell templates."

A middle-aged apprentice with black hair smiled bitterly and said, "Right now, apart from having physical strength comparable to some weaker knights, we are actually no different from ordinary people."

We need to find a solution as soon as possible.

Upon arriving here, Andrew's expression turned grave: "We've reached the Coldfall Mountains now, and we don't have much time left."

"You've probably noticed... those two official wizards are becoming increasingly indifferent to us. At first, they would keep an eye on us, but after we arrived here, they barely even glance at us..."

"I have a bad feeling... Once they find their target, our mission may be coming to an end."

The apprentices remained silent for a moment.

Forced into control by two formal wizards, the apprentices faced increasing pressure as their target drew ever closer.

The fact that two formal wizards forcibly controlled so many apprentices suggests they couldn't have brought them to this place for a picnic; they must have their own purpose.

These two formal wizards were clearly not good people. After they achieved their goal, there was a high chance that none of their apprentices would survive.

As wizarding apprentices, they were all too aware of the cruelty of the wizarding world.

However, facing two full-fledged wizards, they were simply no match for the apprentices who weren't even third-class apprentices. Even knowing that the other party was about to make a move, they had no way to resist.

"Only a formal wizard can defeat a formal wizard..."

As the discussion drew to a close, they fell silent, and a hint of despair flickered in the eyes of some of them.

That's all for today...

After a long silence, Andrew spoke again: "We've been out for quite a while now. If we go back late, the monitor might become suspicious."

The others nodded silently, and then slowly walked away into the distance.

As they walked back to the streets of the town, they split up to avoid arousing suspicion.

After the others left, Andrew and Sisti slowed their pace and walked towards another corner.

"Those two people are gone."

After carefully observing her surroundings and confirming that no one was around, Cisti spoke.

"It's best if they leave. Even though they're all under control, there are some things that are best left unheard by others."

Standing in a spacious corner, Andrew looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, his face becoming much more serious: "It's impossible for us apprentices alone to fight against two formal wizards."

"The only way to fight against a formal wizard is to rely on other formal wizards."

Standing there, Andrew appeared very calm: "Judging from this period of time, those two formal wizards are definitely not as harmonious as they seem on the surface. The reason why they haven't had a conflict yet is not only because they are wary of each other's strength, but also because the ruins haven't really been found yet."

"However, once the ruins are found, our opportunity will arrive!"

"You mean...wait until they fight amongst themselves?"

Hearing Andrew's words, Cisti frowned: "But we swallowed the parasite. Even if we manage to leave in the end, we will still die if the other side doesn't undo the spell."

"So, in order for us to live, we had to let others die."

Andrew's expression was cold: "I've seen some information about parasitism before. Once a specially made parasite enters the body, it immediately melts into the body and can't be removed at all."

"To break this spell, the only options are for the caster to actively dispel it or to kill the caster so that the spell will automatically dispel it."

"But under normal circumstances, this is very difficult to do, especially when we are under control, it is almost impossible." Cisti gave a wry smile.

"Be as careful as possible."

At this point, Andrew fell silent for a moment: "Perhaps things will turn around in the end."

Hiss...

A soft sound came from afar, instantly causing Andrew and his companion's expressions to change drastically.

"who!!"

The sound of a longsword being drawn rang out. Andrew's face turned cold, his eyes filled with a fierce killing intent, and he suddenly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Although he is currently controlled by parasitic magic and unable to cast spells, this does not mean he has lost the power to kill.

As a second-class apprentice, even though his magic power was sealed and he could not cast spells, his physical attributes were still comparable to those of a knight. Although he lacked the Seed of Life and could not be a match for a knight, he could easily deal with some ordinary people.

In the corner where his gaze was fixed, a young man in black robes stood, looking at Andrew and his companion with an interested expression, as if he had seen something interesting.

Without the slightest hesitation, the next moment, a black shadow rushed towards the man like a gust of wind, a bright silver longsword emitting a silvery-white sword light, slashing fiercely at the black-haired youth with a whistling sword wind.

This blow was extremely heavy, having exhausted all the strength Andrew could muster at this moment. Being struck so suddenly would have severely injured even a knight.

However, to their surprise, when the sharp, silver longsword struck the young man before them, the expected scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere did not occur, and not even a ripple was made.

A faint ripple appeared in front of the black-robed youth, like a small pebble thrown into a clear lake, causing the water to ripple gently.

Andrew's longsword failed to strike at all; it was deflected by the force emanating from the opponent's surface.

"A fully-fledged wizard!!"

Seeing this, and feeling the recoil in his hands, Andrew's face showed despair, and he no longer had any hope.

Without the slightest hesitation, a look of fear and disbelief crossed his face. He immediately lowered his head deeply, dropping the longsword from his arm to the ground with a crisp clang: "My lord wizard, please forgive my rudeness! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly enveloped him, and a figure appeared in front of him in an instant.

"It's over..."

The thought flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he closed his eyes.

However, after a long time, the expected pain and suffocation did not come.

"Andrew, you don't recognize me so quickly?" A soft voice came from beside him, carrying a strange sense of familiarity.

Upon hearing the voice, Andrew immediately opened his eyes, abruptly raised his head, and looked on in disbelief.

Behind Andrew, Cisti opened her eyes. Although she didn't speak, her gaze was also fixed on Adir.

Under their gaze, the black-robed youth smiled, and his face began to change, eventually transforming into a face that felt familiar to them.

·············

Several tens of minutes passed quickly, and after a while, Andrew and Cisti emerged from the corner again.

Compared to before, their faces still looked somewhat numb, though they were subtly agitated, which they concealed very well.

After leaving the corner, they quickly returned to the hotel they had been staying at.

"Why have you been gone for so long?" A sharp female voice came from ahead.

A female apprentice in black robes stood at the door, her face looking somewhat cold and harsh, and she was looking at them.

"We went for a walk outside for a while."

Looking at the other person, Andrew walked ahead and spoke with a blank expression.

"Oh, I think you're trying to escape."

A sarcastic voice came from behind her, and the female apprentice gave a cold smile.

"You jest, sir..." Andrew quickly put on a frightened expression.

"Alright, stop pretending."

The black-robed female apprentice in front of him said impatiently, "Get ready. We'll leave as soon as it's light."

After saying this, she ignored Andrew and the other man, leaving them behind and walking away, seemingly to inform the others.

Behind her, Andrew and Sisti exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Now that they are about to set off, it means they are one step closer to each other's goal.

Even though they knew Adir would be following behind them, they were still uneasy in the face of two formal wizards.

Putting aside the difference in numbers, these two formal wizards in front of them are no ordinary people.

In their eyes, Adir's advancement to a formal wizard at his current age was already the limit; he was likely just recently promoted and unlikely to be a match for a veteran formal wizard.

Despite their trepidation, they didn't hesitate at all, returning directly to their rooms and quickly packing their belongings.

The next day, as the first rays of sunlight illuminated the earth, led by several men in black robes, they hired a few guides and headed deeper into the mountains.

Behind them, Adir hung far off.

Facing two formal wizards, he naturally dared not hide in front of them. To be on the safe side, he didn't even dare to use too many spells. At this moment, he was just hanging behind them.

With the presence of the chip, the traces left by the other party's movements cannot be concealed at all. Not to mention that there are two traitors, Andrew and Sisti, in the other party's team. Although they cannot do too much tampering, leaving a little trace to remind Adir of the direction is no problem at all.

Sorry, my laptop had a problem today, so I typed this chapter on my phone, which is why it's so slow.
