Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 4 Appreciation

The moment the words left his mouth.

The thin, dark-skinned boy then realized that his legs were covered with twisted and eerie vines.

He stood frozen in place, his body covered in cold sweat, looking at the crowd with almost pleading eyes.

"Help me."

But before Aubert could finish speaking, he was dragged underground and fell silent.

Then, a large number of vines broke through the soil beneath the camp, writhing in the air like the tentacles of an evil god, indiscriminately attacking all living things around them.

The three apprentice knights only had time to let out a scream before they were bound by vines and dragged into the ground.

In an instant, the camp was thrown into chaos!

Knight Commander Aubert shoved aside the Baron's daughter, who was nearly entangled in the vines, and shouted, "Run! Go find Lord Kels!"

He then roared at the squire guarding the wizard apprentices' tent, "Where is Lord Kels?!"

The squires, however, were used to this situation and remained stationed in front of the wizard's tent, responding indifferently, "Are you questioning Lord Kels's decision?"

Aubel certainly wouldn't dare question the decision of a wizard apprentice.

But he didn't understand why the other party would leave the camp here and then disappear.

Vic's expression didn't change much.

The moment the Nightmare Tree Monster's vines extended from the ground, he activated his Knight's Bloodline and ran alone into the depths of the dense forest.

In fact, Aaron had already noticed the strangeness under his feet while he was talking to himself.

But he had deeper considerations for not fleeing beforehand.

Based on his understanding of wizards.

After that senior apprentice left the camp, he must have some backup plans to monitor every move in the camp.

Even if it's not witchcraft.

The squires stationed in front of the tent could also act as his eyes.

The vines sprouted from the ground, and a student who had been hiding his strength saw that things were not going well and chose to run away, which makes sense both emotionally and logically.

But what if Vic escapes beforehand?

Given the wizard's cunning, he would surely notice something amiss.

Even if you are hiding your strength, how could a servant of a baron's household know so much about the habits of strange creatures?

In the wizarding world.

Never underestimate a wizard's thirst for the unknown and for knowledge.

Even though Vic could fabricate lies to deceive people, there was one thing he was still very wary of.

He was worried that he would be targeted by that senior apprentice.

He did many things for the same purpose, starting from the smallest details, peeling back the layers, seizing by trickery and force, and finally achieving his goal.

the other side.

Although Sigus possesses the strength of a formal knight and has some experience fighting on the battlefield.

But what if they were faced with a bizarre creature that ate people?

The man-eating vines that burst forth from the ground, their sheer number blotting out the sky, made her legs go weak, and even the hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably.

In the moment she was stunned.

A girl who was usually closest to her screamed and was dragged underground.

"Liya——!"

Sigurds knew very well that without the help of the wizard apprentices, they would be no match for the Nightmare Tree Monster's attacks.

He took one last deep look at the knight commander Aubel, who was still fighting desperately, then gritted his teeth and ran off in the direction the wizard apprentice Kers had gone, without looking back.

but.

As she turned to take a step.

A familiar figure, moving with ghostly speed, vanished into the depths of the dense forest right before her eyes.

The girl was slightly taken aback.

Vic?

Sigurds wondered if she was seeing things.

But she was very familiar with her own male servant, whom she had been ordering around for half a month.

He's just a lowly family servant; when did he acquire the strength of a formal knight?

Moreover, the strength the opponent displayed, as well as their application of knightly "ki," was far beyond what a newly recruited knight could achieve.

Sigurds has been a full-fledged knight for two years.

She knew very well the level of control and experience required to utilize the "qi" within her body to assist her muscles and bones in high-speed running.

Without more than five years of combat experience and rigorous training, it would be impossible to reach the speed Vic had just achieved.

But Siggs didn't have time to think about it; she could only keep the question to herself.

Fortunately.

She escaped from the camp not far.

A dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared in the dense forest not far away, and then the sprawling vines in the camp lost their vitality.

Like any ordinary vine, it fell to the ground and remained motionless.

Although the wizard apprentice had killed the tree monster, Sigurds and the others in the camp felt no joy at surviving the ordeal.

His face was filled with terror, and he dared not relax for a moment.

Siggs's full chest heaved with shock and the exertion.

The arm collided with the lush branches of grass and trees, making a low rustling sound.

Once she made sure there was no movement from the camp behind her, she slowed her pace.

After glancing in the direction where Vic had disappeared, Sigurd hesitated for a moment before turning and walking back towards the camp.

Wait until she returns to the camp.

The knight commander, Aubert, finally relaxed his worried expression and said, "I was just about to go into the dense forest to find you. Are you injured?"

Siggs shook her head slightly.

She looked down at the vines covering the ground, her pupils contracting slightly. The shock she felt at that moment was indescribable.

The latest novel is first published here!

The caravan was accompanied by sixteen knights, each a powerful figure from within the kingdom.

Even if they encountered an army of three hundred men, they could handle it with ease.

Even so, they could only flee in panic when they encountered the Nightmare Tree Monster, unable to resist it.

But such a powerful and bizarre creature died so easily in the face of the wizard's power.

Not long after.

The wizard apprentice Kers returned to the camp.

He glanced at the people clearing the camp, seemingly in complete control, and said coldly, "The missing people are at your feet. Dig them out, and continue on your way after dawn."

Sigurd, who was immersed in the wizard's power, was taken aback and hurriedly stood up to ask, "Lord Kerr, do you mean that Leah and the others are still alive?"

Kers ignored her.

It was Vic, who returned to the camp last, who caught the senior wizard apprentice's eye.

Everything that just happened in the camp was under his surveillance.

Vic's performance earned him some admiration.

He neither panicked like everyone else because of the appearance of the Nightmare Tree Monster, nor did he misjudge the situation, nor did he let his love cloud his judgment and try to show off his hidden strength in front of the beautiful woman and then save her as a hero.

The young girl named Siggs Murray was incredibly attractive to the teenage boys in the group.

Kers has seen far too many young people like this.

act recklessly.

However, what's most interesting is that some people can actually hide their strength right under your nose.

Aside from the baron's daughter who accidentally bumped into him, probably no one in the entire camp knew that a lowly family servant possessed the strength of a knight.

Thinking about this...

Kerr was quite satisfied with Vic.

To endure.

calm.

Decisive.

He has the potential to become a wizard.

If the test results show good talent, it's worth nurturing.

Kers returned to the tent.

His squires took some shovels from the cargo wagons and said to the crowd, "Before sunrise, dig out all the people underground."

This is Lord Kels's order.

Kers knew the Nightmare Tree Monster's habits very well, which was why he could leave the camp without fear. Otherwise, if too many students died, he wouldn't be able to go back and explain himself.

Sigurds is the daughter of a high-ranking baron.

Knight Commander Aubel wouldn't let her do any work.

As a family servant, Vic should have been the first to volunteer, but after Sigurds and Aubel whispered a few words to each other, the job was assigned to the knight who had previously inquired about Vic's skills at the carriage.

The knight who had the shovel saw a family servant resting against a tree and looked puzzled.

However, under Aubert's reprimand...

The young knight decided against going after Vic.

While working, she couldn't help but glance at Sigurds, wondering to herself, "Could she really have a crush on that young male servant?"

After thinking it over, he felt that this was the only possibility.

Siggs saw Vic resting alone against a tree.

The girl pondered what to say, recalling her father's instructions before she left, and several thoughts flashed through her mind.

Like a girl next door, she tossed her golden hair over her shoulder, walked over naturally, sat down next to Vic, and said bluntly, "I saw it all just now."
