Witch, don't be so lazy

"You're closing here? Where are you planning on going?"

Anke was a little surprised.

“Travel. When you get old, you should travel more and see more, so that you won’t be unwilling to die.”

Hans replied calmly.

"How could the head of a Mammon sect stronghold behave like this? Did you run away with the money? Or did the enemies you defrauded before come looking for you?"

An Ke looked suspicious.

"Oh, don't you understand? As long as you're willing to pay, Mammon can do all kinds of things."

Hans corrected him, "Besides, I left on my own initiative, so I didn't have to pay. Instead, my successor had to pay me a sum of money on top of competing for the position. Otherwise, I'd dig some holes for him that would make him cry."

...It's really hard to describe this underground organization.

An Ke was speechless, and then a little sad: "Then I won't be able to see you again in the future."

"You're dreaming! Unless you die along the way, I still have to look for the Winter Witch!"

The old man destroyed the sad atmosphere as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hmph! Just wait for me, I'll wipe out all your wealth in one deal!"

Encore made bold statements.

"Tsk, don't let me die of old age by then, and you still haven't found a way to fully awaken the Winter Witch."

Hans curled his lips, was silent for a moment, and then said,

"But I won't be traveling too far for now. At least I'll go and laugh at you after you finish your magic exam."

The necessary procedures must be followed. Every year, the Northern Magic Examination is a large-scale ceremony involving the entire territory, and it has continued since the construction of the tower.

Once the kid was done, he would give out the invitation letter and then enjoy the kid's look of immense shock and gratitude.

Hans added silently in his heart.

"Oh, you still want to laugh at me? Then you can only admire Miss Anke's amazing performance, and then compare it with your own youth, and then feel extremely ashamed and admired!"

An Ke raised her little face, then paused again, "Old man, I wish you a safe journey. Even if you are going to die, remember to find a way to entrust your inheritance to me first. Otherwise, it would be so pitiful if you died without spending all the money."

"Tsk, I'd rather be buried in the ground than give it to that dead kid. Stop dreaming."

Hans waved, "I wish you all the best, Encore."

……

Wait until the third day.

The entire magic workshop was closed, and looking through the gap, everything inside was gone.

The old man's movements were faster than expected.

Encore couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

She first acquired the skill of [Magic Scroll Making] here and received the initial investment, but that was more than six months ago.

In the blink of an eye.

Her skill became [Ancient Spell Runes], and she transformed from a poor apprentice into a serious first-level wizard. She was even about to leave Xueshan Town and go to a wider place.

Emotion.

But she wasn't slow either.

All you have to do is pack your luggage, mainly books and scrolls, and then contact the caravan and you can set off directly.

He rejected Luya's proposal and did not hold a farewell banquet with other first-level mages in the town.

Anke just carried his luggage by himself, gave some tips to all the staff in the tavern, then hugged Luya, left the tavern and got on the carriage.

He stuck his head out of the car window and waved goodbye.

As the familiar figures disappeared one after another, the town’s buildings also slowly disappeared.

Anke turned around and looked ahead.

There were some places ahead that she had been to while hunting monsters, but further ahead was a strange and new world.

Set off! Instrument cage four: sulfur chess fin bell Meng

Go somewhere new!

……

A dark cave hidden in a complex valley in the southwest of Arthda City.

With rustling sounds, countless black snakes of different sizes crawled on the ground, leaving behind sticky and smelly trails.

The light grew dimmer and dimmer, until it was pitch dark.

But when the snakes reached the end, an orange-red light suddenly appeared.

The light did not dispel the dampness and coldness of the cave, but instead intensified the eerie atmosphere.

Because there were no lit candles or torches inside, there were only clusters of tumors beating like red hearts, embedded in the brown and yellow withered tree trunks.

And in the middle of the cave, a strange staff was stuck on a huge tree stump.

It was hard to tell what material it was made of. It looked like moist black willow wood, with the top twisted and shaped into a snake head, and the body of the staff shone with a black tar-like luster.

The tree stump below had numerous hollow holes, densely packed together, like strange pupils, emitting endless malice.

Snakes of all sizes slithered back and forth in the hole, like a wriggling swarm of black leeches, making one's scalp tingle.

Several figures, some tall and some short, danced with the red light, their shadows reflected on the rock wall, adding a bit of hideousness.

A low voice echoed in the cave.

"How are the preparations going?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a pale face, wearing a gray-brown robe. Countless brown and yellow roots extended from under the robe, connecting to the surrounding withered tree trunks and the stump in the middle.

"The deployment of Arthda City is going pretty smoothly. Aside from the city lord's place, which is difficult to infiltrate, the other locations are almost fully staffed. The Golden Dawn and Iris Workshops might be a little slower."

The first to answer was a skull with pale blue flames. It floated in the air, its mouth opening and closing, and its dark eye sockets looked extremely creepy.

"We've also taken care of the ruins. The descendants of the giants were too rude, and my small body took a lot of beatings. I finally managed to turn them into blood descendants. I'll leave the subsequent arrangements to you. I hope to give those adventurers some surprises."

The slender and beautiful woman smiled, her pointed fangs gleaming white, and two bats perched on her shoulders. She stared at the man and spoke,

"Wither, Lord Dachis has entrusted you with the most important task and even gifted you with a Deep Serpent Staff, asking us to obey your orders. But why do I hear that you've been making a mess of things lately?"

Her smile was filled with gloating. "The White Walker royal family didn't receive it, and in the process of collecting materials, they even alerted the officials of Arthda City."

"Oh, we can only blame those two White Walkers for being so useless. They couldn't even defeat an ordinary second-level wizard. They deserved to die. As for alarming—"

The pale-faced man snorted disdainfully, "It's completely inevitable that we'll need to gather more than a hundred orphan girls who meet the requirements."

"So I need you to distract the enemy. As long as you can successfully complete the plan, I will definitely be able to produce the Wailing Angel as scheduled."

"Lord Dachis has said that this place is far enough from the tower that the Star Witch can't get away right now. We just need to deal with the people in Asda City. Even if there are possible reinforcements, we have enough help."

The man paused, his cold eyes sweeping over, "What are the movements of the Well of Silence and the Lightless Society?"

"The Well of Silence's operation is still mainly targeting the Bone Witch, but they promised to send a dark wizard, Master Luba Wulin, to assist us. However, I haven't been able to contact him."

The skull said with a hint of helplessness, "You know, even though we're all necromancers, those weirdos who believe in the Eternal Death Star are just too crazy, making it very difficult to deal with them."

"The Wuguang Society also agreed to send people, but their movements are too secretive, and my men are unable to detect them."

The beautiful vampire shrugged. "To be honest, the Well of Silence and the Lightless Society are too deeply involved with the Abyss. I am not very willing to cooperate with them."

"Oh, no need for you to explain. We are just using each other. If they are of no use to us, then we will all become the angels' toys."

The man's mouth curled up slightly, "Don't tell me you're scared. The Calamity Cult doesn't have such a cowardly member."

"Of course not. I'm still waiting to enjoy the grand performance of the Wailing Angels in Arthda City."

The vampire smiled.

"I just want the corpse and the materials. Hurry up, I can't wait."

The skull urged.

"Hmph, be patient. Anyway, the magic exam in Arstar City won't be held this year, so be careful when finishing it up and don't make any mistakes!"

Chapter 91 Different Life

Winter hangs high.

Although the wind is still cold, the warmth still makes people happy.

On the bumpy mountain road, tall blue horses left rows of hoof prints on the ground.

Their appearance is very strange. In addition to the color of their skin, what is more eye-catching is the claw-like membrane on both sides of their abdomen. It always glows with a brown-yellow light and looks like a lantern at night.

This is the pure-blooded Ice Nightmare Horse, a successfully tamed monster.

At least a medium-sized or larger caravan would have the willingness and ability to raise these creatures.

In fact, the caravan was indeed quite large.

There were more than twenty fully armed guards alone, and including the attendants and servants responsible for logistics, there were more than fifty people.

They set out from Gray Reef Port in the south, carrying goods all the way north, their destination being Asda City. If everything went well, it would take about three to four months. By the time they sold all the goods and returned with the goods, more than half a year would have passed.

Long-distance caravans like this rarely accept strangers of unknown origin. If they want to join them, they must negotiate it before departure, and the price is not cheap.

After all, we have to consider safety issues and guard against people with bad intentions, especially when we are at the end of the journey. If we encounter bandits who are working together from inside and outside, we will be in tears.

But this time, after the caravan took a short rest in Xueshan Town, new people were added to the team, and they also occupied the most luxurious carriage in the center.

But no one had any objection to this. The team leader even willingly offered dozens of gold coins as a gift after giving up his carriage.

Because some rules only apply to ordinary people and cannot be applied to mages.

Although everyone was extremely surprised after listening to the bard's "The Wild Tramp" in the Cedar Town Tavern, and thought that the bard was making up stories, after asking around, they couldn't help but marvel at the world's vastness and the endless variety of wonders.

The caravan was already familiar with this route. The last time they passed through Xueshan Town was about nine months ago. They remembered that there were vicious gangs in the town at that time, and they heard that the most talented child in the town was the lord's beloved son, Haan Aleman.

But before even a year had passed, when they returned to Xueshan Town, the Huangtu Gang had been destroyed, and the town had gained a formal mage, a thirteen-year-old girl!

If they had not seen the astonishing spells and magic power with their own eyes, they would definitely have suspected that this was fake news.

But there was no way out. The facts were before their eyes, and the caravan could only shout "The Tower is above!", and then when they learned that the young wizard was planning to go to Asda City, they immediately made room with joy.

In hindsight, this was undoubtedly a very normal decision.

The North is far more dangerous than most people imagine.

Just look at Cedar Town and you will know that even in a relatively safe town, there are still some troubles in the cemetery from time to time. If you are unlucky, you may encounter the White Walkers. During special years, it is inevitable to suffer from the terrible Warcraft frenzy.

The area around the town is not very safe either.

The guards of the lord's mansion are not there to do nothing. They have to go out to clear out monsters every once in a while.

Moreover, before Anko launched the sweep, there were quite a few Black Iron Commissions posted in the Adventurer's Guild.

As for the wild, it is naturally even more dangerous.

Generally speaking, most of the poor townspeople may never have left the town in their entire lives. If they were lucky enough to visit Asda City, it would definitely be something they could brag about.

Although in Anko's eyes, 99% of the adventurers who rushed to the White Walker's lair from the surrounding villages and towns were nothing but trash, in fact, they were already the best among ordinary people.

Yes, these adventurers are admittedly inexperienced, but there are certain requirements to meet, and not everyone can become one - even if they are not magic apprentices, they must be strong, courageous, and skilled enough in wielding swords, swords, and shields!

This is the most basic requirement for walking in the wild.

Of course, the current configuration of this caravan can be considered medium to high-end. More than half of the twenty or so guards are magic apprentices, their equipment is not bad, and each of them is experienced.

Even though the monsters in the wild are not very intelligent, except for the particularly crazy ones, most of them know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Maybe they have been chopped too many times, so when they see those armed humans walking upright, they don’t even have time to avoid them, let alone actively attack.

Therefore, if you are attacked, you will face a fierce battle.

During these seven days, the caravan encountered three formal battles.

First up, the goblins.
