Wizard's Journey

Chapter 288 Ride and Wizardry

This wait lasted for seven days.

That day, the female dean strode into the room, a leaf bird the size of a bee flapping its wings rapidly at her fingertips to maintain its balance.

"tutor."

"master."

Gabriel and Green stood up to greet her. The female dean nodded and then looked at Gabriel: "Gabriel, the academy's wizards have confirmed the information about the whereabouts of the demon hunter wizard you described."

As the female dean spoke, a surge of magic flowed through her. After transmitting the elemental combination code, the leaf bird that had been resting on her fingertips let out a cry and began to slowly unfold, transforming into a large, palm-sized leaf.

On the fallen leaves, a clear black arrow was marked on the map.

"This is... he's heading to the Sea of ​​Gems!"

These past few days, Gabil, who had been as still as a wooden statue, could no longer remain calm. He jumped up from his chair and said grimly, "Lokiru is the most skilled demon hunter among us in terms of sensing. His three-headed goblin must have found the trail of the demon hunter's black wizard!"

After a pause, Loki paced back and forth in the room, then continued, "And he's actually heading towards the Gem Sea. It seems that the black wizard must have become aware of this and is planning to flee the Wizarding Continent for the Dark Domain. Oh no."

Grimm remained silent, his eyes beneath the mask of truth seemingly calm, but his hands beneath the wide wizard's robes were clenched tightly with tension, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

We absolutely cannot let Hattori Hizo escape to the Dark Realm!

Just as Wizarding Continent is a gathering place for elemental wizards, Dark Domain is also a gathering place for dark wizards.

It is said that on that giant island, which is as big as a continent, all ordinary humans are pitiful creatures living in the black wizard's laboratory, being raised and bought and sold like livestock.

Ordinary humans in laboratories, from birth to death, cannot obtain any so-called freedom.

There were no so-called black wizard apprentices, no commoners, no merchants, no knights, and not even nobles. The only options were black wizards and the "two-legged people" in the laboratory.

In the dark wizard's laboratory there, besides the necessary and strong "species" who are constantly responsible for reproduction so that the dark wizard can collect human despair without limit, there are only a very small number of "two-legged people" who, while the dark wizard is collecting despair, experience the true meaning of life and death despair and thus become dark wizard budding talents who study the mysteries of life and death.

These young black wizards, though lacking any knowledge and unable to cast any black magic, and still possessing the strength of an ordinary person, are already undeniably wizards.

Once such a black wizard embryo is born, it will be treasured by the laboratory black wizards and sent to the Black Domain Holy Tower in exchange for witch spirit rewards.

Overall, in a wizarding system with rules completely different from those of the Wizarding Continent, it would be incredibly difficult for Green to become a dark wizard, and he might even risk his life.

For the dark wizards of the Dark Domain, the Wizarding Continent is a wondrous treasure trove shrouded in the shadow of demon hunter wizards, containing countless precious treasures that dark wizards value most... population.

Therefore, from time to time, some dark wizards will take the risk and go to the edge of the wizarding continent to wreak havoc.

"No! I must head to this Gem Sea region immediately and hunt him down before he completely leaves the Wizarding Continent's territory to complete this demon-hunting mission!"

Kabila's voice was extremely cold, yet incredibly resolute.

Green stood beside Gabil, silent, truly looking like a follower, seemingly only there to gain experience in demon hunting.

With a "whoosh"!

The leaf floating between the female dean's fingers turned into ash, and then her expression changed as she said, "The intelligence wizard has been discovered."

The Wizarding Continent has never been a peaceful place.

At least there are already some underlying civilized rules and rational restraint between wizards, but the brutal struggle never stops and killing is commonplace.

I wonder how this intelligence wizard is doing.

Without further hesitation, Gabila flew out of the window on the 78th floor of the Black Tower with a series of thuds, turning around and shouting, "Goodbye, Master!"

"Thank you, Master."

After bowing deeply, the space around Green's body distorted, and he disappeared from the room.

In the blink of an eye, only the female dean remained in the room, letting out a sigh and coldly saying, "I hope this Green really isn't thinking of competing with Gabil for a spot in this demon-hunting competition, just like Peranos said. Hmph, otherwise, even if Peranos were here, I'd make him understand the consequences of deceiving a level three archmage..."

On the other side, here in Green's area.

Green looked ahead at Gabil standing on a giant metal bird and felt a pang of envy.

This kind of magical vehicle is no different from an ordinary wizard when flying for short periods of time, but its wonder lies in its ability to continuously increase speed during long journeys.

According to Green's current estimation, the giant metal bird under Gabil will reach its peak speed after a day of buffering and acceleration. At that time, even if Green keeps using spatial distortion to catch up, his speed will be much slower.

On the giant metal bird, Gabil, beneath his wide wizard's robe and cloak, glanced back.

Although Dean Peranos vouched for Green, implying he wouldn't compete for a spot in the Demon Hunter competition, Gabil didn't trust Green at all.

but……

There are seven people vying for the spot in this demon-hunting battle, and each of them has survived the brutal elimination process after that expedition mission.

Everyone inevitably has medals of honor and possesses extraordinary abilities in some area. Even with their strength, they still need to be extremely careful.

Therefore, if we can make good use of Green and hold one person back during crucial moments, our chances of success will naturally increase.

No matter what, this guy who graduated from the academy more than two hundred years ago, although a newcomer, is still the number one in the Holy Tower Arena.

Moreover, the fact that he was able to earn a medal of honor on his very first demon-hunting expedition truly makes him a genius wizard with unlimited potential.

This demon-hunting mission is not only difficult in itself, but in Gabil's opinion, any one of the demon-hunting wizards in his group is probably someone that the Black Knight could resist.

The real difficulty of this mission lies in the competition between the demon hunters and dark wizards!

Thinking this, Gabil shouted to Green behind him, "How long are you going to dawdle? Humph, get on, or I won't wait for a burden like you."

Being called a burden by a fellow dark wizard of the same level, Green's expression turned cold, but he ultimately said nothing more. After a muttered groan, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "Understood."

Space twisted, and Grimm landed smoothly on the giant metal bird.

Gabila naturally sensed Green's displeasure, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

A junior who relies on a mentor-mentee relationship to seek advice on demon hunting experience is simply using each other.

However, they hold absolute initiative.

Gabil, who was riding the giant metal bird ahead, let out a cold laugh without any concern. A surge of elemental energy concealed his face beneath the wide, dark wizard's robe cloak, and his crocodile-like tail covered in metallic scales slowly retracted into the robe.

three days later.

Traveling at super-fast speed with the giant metal bird, Gabil and Green arrived at the border between a forest of jagged thorns and a sea of ​​gems.

The giant metal bird was put away by Gabil, and the two wizards, dressed in loose wizard robes, hovered in mid-air, constantly looking around, looking incredibly mysterious.

Creak, creak, creak.

Green looked at Gabil and saw him raise an arm. A layer of metallic scales on the arm began to slowly sink into the skin, making a creaking sound, revealing the "tender flesh" under the scales.

Ok?

This is... a regression of wild instincts!

Is Gabil a wild instinct-based body-training wizard? And how is he able to maintain the first level of wild instinct at all times without falling into weakness and turning himself into a monster?

It seems this guy is stronger than I imagined, and may even have successfully unlocked the second level of his wild instincts.

On the Wizarding Continent of the surface world, there are not many true body-training wizards like Lin.

However, Green's carefully planned path for training his body through elemental surges began to waver and change after he inadvertently unlocked the first level of his wild instincts.

According to Green's conjecture, perhaps his ability to unlock his wild instincts was related to some kind of crack in his life code.

This seems to be a new research direction in the future knowledge system of the code of life.

This conjecture is likely to influence Green's future research and planning after he completes his research on the power of annihilation.

After a while.

Gabiel shook his head, his arms covered in scales again, and said calmly, "No, I'm not good at sensing."

Three days ago, the female dean provided information that a knowledgeable wizard confirmed that the demon hunter wizard with exceptional perception skills, as described by Gabil, appeared here.

Gabil turned his head and looked at the silent and low-key Green. His eyes behind the elemental mist swept over Green up and down, as if he were looking at a junior as a senior.

"Aside from the somewhat peculiar grayish-white surface, there's nothing particularly special about it overall," Gabil thought to himself, then asked, "How's your perception-based magic? And how can you help me?"

The underlying tone of his words made Green very unhappy.

Green remained silent, his eyes beneath the mask of truth slowly closing. After nearly a quarter of an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised a hand from under his wizard's robe, and pointed in a direction, saying, "There's a fresh smell of death a few thousand meters away over there."
