The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Then let's keep checking! Until we find him. If we can't find him, we'll expand the search area!!"

Laxus roared in exasperation, though it was unclear who he was yelling at.

In any case, no one who heard this statement dared not to take it seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!! I want this curse to stop immediately! Tomorrow I want to see the head of the guy who cursed me!"

Laxus VI was convinced that he was being watched.

The recent turmoil in the Kingdom of Rick was orchestrated by a mysterious sorcerer.

Although the mysterious sorcerer only indirectly contributed to the civil war in Rick's Kingdom.

However, many people speculate that this sorcerer is the one who is truly controlling everything behind the scenes.

After all, it was he who gave the final push to that boulder that, once out of control, would become uncontrollable, causing Rick's Kingdom to collapse at a frenzied pace.

This has led many to wonder if he was really just a sorcerer with exceptional cursing skills.

Who knows how much planning was done in the Kingdom of Rick beforehand by someone with such ability to secretly stir things up?

The princes were probably just pawns he was playing with.

Perhaps the entire kingdom of Rick was already under his control; he simply chose the perfect moment to showcase his masterpiece to the world!

A mysterious sorcerer who can manipulate everything from the shadows undoubtedly inspires fear in everyone.

Due to the war in the Kingdom of Reik, King Lacussus VI, the leader of the northern kingdoms, was also extremely troubled.

Just when Laxus VI thought that this mysterious sorcerer would keep a low profile for a while,

He was shocked to discover that he was being watched!

This bizarre method of casting curses without a trace could undoubtedly have originated from that mysterious sorcerer!

The constant curses, like a death proclamation, were conveying to Laxus VI that he had become the new target.

This left Laxus VI both furious and deeply unsettled!

On the bright side, it seems this sorcerer can only curse him once a day.

At least we can relax for the rest of today.

However, immediately.

Laxus VI felt that familiar pain again!

As if to slap him in the face, they cursed him a second time!

The priest swiftly removed the curse from Laxus VI.

"Aaaaaah! Who is it! Who is it?! Are you looking at me?!"

Laxus VI clutched his scalp, his eyes bloodshot.

He felt he was going crazy if things continued like this.

It was as if the other party was observing him from God's perspective, relentlessly subjecting him to slow and tormenting punishment!

Moreover, it is like a ghost that cannot be caught.

"Don't let me find you! Otherwise, I'll make sure you die in the most cruel way possible!!!"

Laxus VI's roar seemed to echo throughout the entire palace.

He has gathered as many seventh and eighth-tier experts in the kingdom as possible who are proficient in magic to come to the capital to help him conduct a thorough investigation.

Within a week at most, the powerful will gather! At that time, not even a fly can escape the entire capital! King Laxus VI will spare no effort to thoroughly investigate until that arrogant and despicable sorcerer is brought to justice!

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

There are three days left until the seventh-tier squad assessment begins.

The Kingdom of Landil, which is being held this time, is located in the north of the Kingdom of Norton and is considered one of the larger kingdoms in the central region.

If you travel further north from the Kingdom of Landil, you will reach the border of the northern kingdoms.

Because the Kingdom of Landil highly values ​​freedom and has flexible regulations, it is very suitable to be the organizer of some large-scale events of the Kingdom Federation, as neither the events themselves nor the participants need to go through cumbersome approval processes.

At this time, the capital city of Landir was located on the outskirts of the city.

A knight in silver armor had a serious expression on his face.

He crossed his arms and gazed at the horizon.

Gavin, the commander of the Royal Guard Knights of the Kingdom of Landil, had heard about it long ago and expected that the "Beautiful Mind Squad" would arrive in the Kingdom of Landil today.

When Knight Commander Gavin first heard the name of this squad, he really didn't know how to evaluate it.

He had also heard a little about Dekan's deeds.

How dare they call it "A Beautiful Mind"?

Although Gavin personally believed that Dekan and his team might encounter difficulties in participating in the Tier 7 team assessment, after all, the difference in team rank was a major weakness, and several distinctive team members were more likely to be targeted.

However, Gavin felt that regardless of whether Dekan passed the test or not, it would inevitably bring some changes to the capital!

As the Knight Commander, Gavin wasn't concerned with whether Dekan could pass the test.

What he cares about is the safety of the capital!

Dekan was also someone whom His Majesty the King had instructed Gavin to keep a close eye on.

The closer a country is to the Kingdom of Norton, the clearer it is about how wicked Dekan is.

Gavin's idea was to neither antagonize Dekan nor get too close to him.

Let's set aside Dekan's personal abilities and style of doing things for now.

This guy is practically a human-shaped trap for the Church of Resurrection!

Wherever he goes, there will be Resurrected believers.

It might even attract the bishop!

So if you're not lucky enough, it's best to stay away from him.

Before long, accompanied by the sound of clattering, a chariot gradually appeared in the knight commander's sight across the wilderness. In front of the chariot, two magical beasts, their bodies shimmering with azure lightning arcs, were galloping at high speed.

The golden brocade curtains surrounding the chariot are painted with the phoenix emblem of the Kingdom of Norton, which seems to have just been reborn from the ruins, and the flames around it have a life force that penetrates the painting.

This is a Tier 6 Thunder Beast Chariot lent to Dekan by His Majesty the King. It will take less than two weeks to travel from the capital of Norton to the capital of Landil.

The cross-border journey to the north is indeed quite long.

Going south would actually be much easier.

Although the Kingdom Federation has been raising funds to build an orbital vehicle connecting the nations using new magic-powered technology, the plan has been shelved for several years.

This was already a huge undertaking, and there were also some problems within the Kingdom Federation.

For example, some large southern countries are unwilling to share their technology without reservation.

Some kingdoms also believe that the costs are too high, whether for civilian or commercial use, the huge upfront costs and continuous high energy consumption could lead to long-term losses.

On the other hand, the group nature of the northern states is also problematic.

Therefore, even if the design and planning are in place, there are still many difficulties before construction can actually begin.

Currently, only a few major southern countries use this technology for connectivity, and the parliamentary headquarters of the Kingdom Federation is also located in south-central America.

This north-south divide, along with the location of the Kingdom Federation, made Dekan remark that it evoked a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the northern and southern borders of the Holy Kingdom and the Holy Capital.

Soon, the chariot closed the distance to Knight Commander Gavin to 100 meters.

"Please wait a moment, everyone from the Kingdom of Norton!"

Gavin's shouts quickly attracted the tanks.

The tank gradually slowed down and stopped in front of Gavin.

After the car came to a stop, the people inside showed no intention of getting off, and it was unclear what they were preparing inside.

It wasn't until several dozen seconds later that the group showed any signs of getting off the bus.

Gavin watched nervously as the tank's door was slowly pushed open.

Several young women dressed in winter casual clothes stepped off the chariot with a black cat.

They were moving house, carrying not only suitcases but also bags of snacks and newly packaged goods.

It seems that these people have traveled through many cities and bought a lot of local specialties, new clothes and souvenirs, so much so that their suitcases are full and they have to carry extra items.

"Excuse me, we still have a lot of souvenirs we bought along the way in the car. Could you please lock the car and park it in a safe place for us?"

"......no problem."

The intensely relaxed atmosphere made Knight Commander Gavin momentarily doubt that these people were actually there to participate in the seventh-tier team assessment.

Other teams, even if they don't necessarily wear uniform attire, at least look quite dignified.

They looked like they were there to fight.

Knight Commander Gavin thought these four guys were just a group of tourists.

By the way.

Take an exam.

Gavin didn't pay too much attention to these oddities, after all, he had learned about Dekan's style beforehand.

"I am the Knight Commander of the Royal Capital of the Kingdom of Landil, and I have been dispatched by His Majesty the King to provide you with the assistance you need."

He extended his hand to Dekan as he introduced himself.

"Thank you, Guide... Sir Knight Commander."

Dekan smiled and stepped forward to shake Gavin's hand.

"...?"

Gavin's eye twitched, if he wasn't mistaken.
