Wizard's Journey

Chapter 271 Bibi Leona

The Viscount's mansion in Versailles was a place of unimaginable extravagance and debauchery for the poor.

The stench of decay, a mixture of civility and filth, emanated from the very core of these outwardly glamorous nobles.

These nobles were either descendants of wizards from certain wizarding academies or wizarding apprentices, or they were the result of unions between nobles.

A noble system, completely different from the wizarding system, oppresses the common people, carrying out cruel management, rule, and exploitation.

Viscount Srouto, holding a glass of wine and beaming, walked with his daughter, dressed in a low-cut, cinched dress and dressed to the accompaniment of elegant music, past one noble family after another, until he arrived before these two distinguished guests.

However, in his heart, Viscount Sortu harbored deep malice towards these nobles who brought their daughters and clearly shared the same purpose.

"These filthy worms, actually finding a lover to pretend to be their daughter, humph." With a sneer in his heart, Srutu approached the two distinguished guests.

These are two wizard apprentices.

But for these nobles, there was no distinction between wizards and wizard apprentices.

Both wizard apprentices were male. One of them was completely hidden under a large, dark gray wizard's robe. His bloodshot eyes coldly stared at everyone present, and his icy aura made him impossible to approach, like a hungry wolf.

The other person, also dressed in a loose wizard's robe, was much more casual. He looked to be in his thirties, had short hair, and was smoking a pipe. He was chatting and laughing with several noble girls.

Viscount Sroto casually pushed past several nobles, took his daughter's hand, and shoved his way to the wizard, saying with a gentle smile, "Your Excellency Wizard, as you requested, all the city gates have been closed, and the garrison is equipped with crossbows. They will come to report at any time if there is any situation."

Since a black wizard was killed in Versailles more than a decade ago, all the nobles have been living in fear and have stopped being stingy with their gold coins to recruit large numbers of personal knights.

Although, to the dark wizard, these knights were just ordinary people who were slightly stronger.

"Okay, I understand."

"Gilens, now that everything's set up, let's hurry up and finish the mission. Don't waste any more time here," the cold-blooded wizard apprentice said in a hoarse voice.

All the nobles present froze.

He actually said that this elaborately arranged party was a waste of time!

The nobles' anger silenced several girls who were dressed up and laughing, leaving them staring with wide, watery eyes, at a loss for what to do.

"Id!"

The wizard apprentice, pipe in mouth, shouted at the cold-hearted wizard apprentice, then gave a few rude, apologetic smiles to the nobles before pulling the cold-hearted wizard apprentice across the orchestra pit and running to the side.

"Etiquette! How many times have I told you to observe noble etiquette here! If you want to complete the mission smoothly, it's best not to fall out with these guys, otherwise, the trouble these disgusting fellows will cause you will make this simple task incredibly difficult."

After a pause, the apprentice wizard continued, "And... do you really believe that this city, which has been searched every year for the past ten years or so, would actually have any trace of a dark wizard apprentice?"

Mocking, the wizard apprentice with his pipe in his mouth ignored the cold-hearted wizard apprentice and turned back to the hypocritical nobles.

"Hmph, that's hard to say," the cold-blooded wizard apprentice muttered.

…………

the next day.

A hundred guardian knights followed, and two wizard apprentices inspected one castle after another. The owners of all the castles opened their doors to accept the wizards' questions and investigations.

For more than a decade, this investigation procedure has been conducted annually.

It took a whole day. As dusk fell and the sky began to darken, two wizard apprentices, leading hundreds of knights, wearily finished inspecting the last bustling commercial street.

Because of the investigation by these two wizard apprentices, a curfew has been imposed on the entire city of Versailles tonight, and there are no pedestrians on the brightly lit streets.

Teams of security personnel, who are usually as lazy as parasites, are busy running around tonight, monitoring the security situation.

"Phew, the crystal ball has finished recording, mission accomplished!" The wizard apprentice, with his pipe in his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief and took a big swig of his pipe.

The other nobles and knights, who were already exhausted, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they could go back to rest, and a hint of joy appeared on their tired faces.

Only this cold-blooded wizard apprentice shouted, "Wait a minute, this area hasn't been investigated yet!"

The direction the cold-blooded wizard apprentice pointed was now completely dark, making it impossible to see the road clearly; it was muddy, filthy, and reeked of a foul stench.

All the nobles and knights' expressions changed, their faces filled with embarrassment. Viscount Sroto quickly smiled apologetically, "My lord wizard, this place is inhabited by commoners. Apart from the overcrowded commoners and the earthworms, cockroaches, and rats in the mud, there's simply no other person here. The stench inside is so foul that even if all the Venus goddesses from the Ivory Castle Wizard Academy were brought here, it wouldn't be able to mask it. How could you, sir..."

The wizard apprentice, who was smoking a pipe, also shook his head.

"Id, you're too tense. Even a fallen dark wizard wouldn't be able to stand living in such an environment."

tsk...

call……

The pipe-wearing wizard apprentice took a deep drag on his pipe, exhaling smoke rings to mask the foul stench wafting from the other side.

"No! Our mission is to investigate the entire city of Versailles; we can't overlook any part of it. Our mentor warned us that the devil is in the details, and the qualifications of the Saint Tower Demon Hunter Wizard have always been reserved for wizards who are superior to others."

The nobles looked at the pipe-wearing wizard apprentice with a troubled expression.

The pipe-smoking wizard apprentice choked, then, seeing the resolute look in the cold wizard apprentice's eyes, hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and shouting, "Continue!"

Viscount Sroto tried to dissuade him, saying, "My lord..."

"I said continue!"

The pipe-wearing wizard apprentice's words were not to be questioned; he waved his magic wand and pointed to the dark, filthy, and foul-smelling street ahead.

Ugh……

As Viscount Srouto waved his hand, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, a large number of knights entered this filthy street. Mud mixed with excrement and urine was kicked up by the horses. Noble ladies covered their noses with handkerchiefs, their faces pale, but dared not leave on their own.

It's hard to imagine that a wizard apprentice for over a decade had never set foot in this area.

Firstly, they were unwilling to sacrifice themselves; secondly, they believed in the luck of their predecessors; and thirdly, it was a matter of so-called rational judgment... The dark wizard would not tolerate this environment!

"Sheriff, which street around here has a lot of missing persons?" The cold-blooded wizard apprentice glanced at the fat man next to him and asked.

"Uh... here..."

The sheriff, of course, had no interest in such matters. In his haste, he grabbed a errand runner from the side and asked, "Where in the neighborhood do poor people frequently go missing?"

This security errand boy, approaching the mysterious and terrifying wizard for the first time, was extremely nervous and frightened. He pointed tremblingly into the distance and said, "Over there, there are always spies stabbing us in the back."

The cold-blooded wizard apprentice waved his hand: "Let's go, over there!"

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Numerous horses trod through the mud, enduring the stench, and headed in the direction indicated by the cold-hearted wizard's apprentice. Along the streets, many poor people secretly peered out of their windows as knights carrying torches passed by.

A little while later.

"Um!?"

The smoke-sensing wizard apprentice exclaimed in surprise, and the crystal ball in his palm suddenly emitted a dark red glow.

"Dark wizard! Dark wizard! There's a dark wizard hiding here!" A terrified scream rang out, and both the smoke-sensing wizard apprentice and the cold-blooded wizard apprentice turned pale.

Although they were the most elite wizarding apprentices in the wizarding academy, if they truly encountered an enemy of humanity, even a dark wizarding apprentice...

"Hmph! Changing locations again? You two despicable bastards!" A gloomy, hoarse voice rang out in anger.

In the dilapidated hut, slowly, a golden pupil opened. The terrifying aura of human despair emanating from the black sorcerer caused all the knights present to tremble involuntarily, and their horses neighed in panic, becoming uncontrollable.

This is the scent of humanity's natural enemy.

The pipe-smoking black wizard apprentice, holding the bounty scroll, muttered to the cold-blooded wizard apprentice beside him, "Sixth bounty black wizard apprentice, Bibi Leona. Be careful, this is a terrifying figure who left the Black Tower Wizarding Academy two hundred years ago. We are no match for her. Try to stall until the mentor who receives the black wizard's signal arrives."

what……

One by one, the knights screamed in agony as they turned into dried-up corpses, their deaths extremely gruesome and terrifying.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph... Today, none of them shall leave this place!" An old witch roared hysterically, brandishing a dark magic wand.

This image is completely different from the image of Bibi Leona that Green had in mind—a blonde, cute, and sunny girl with an extremely arrogant and vindictive personality.

Gum!

A malignant tumor on the back of the old witch's head throbbed violently.
