I made science magic

The sudden question made Linn stunned for a moment.

After several figures gradually approached, Linn recognized the leader at a glance. It was the target he was looking for this time - Jonny.

The girl wrapped in a black robe is about twenty years old, with strange long silver-gray hair, and her eyes are a bright sapphire blue.

Probably because of being in hiding all day long, Jonny was much thinner than when we last met, and his face looked sickly pale.

"I don't understand what you mean, Jonny!" Linn's tone was extremely firm, without any wavering. With all the memories of his predecessor, he was very sure that Carl had not done anything to betray him.

At most, just think about it in your mind, otherwise there is no need to hide in the slums in fear.

"Where is your sword?" the gray-haired witch continued to question.

Only then did Linn notice that Jonny's eyes had been fixed on the sword he was holding. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately understood where the problem was.

"What you have in your hand is a weapon commonly used by witch hunters!" Buck, the tall and strong wizard apprentice at the side, said emotionally.

"Of course, this is my trophy. Is there any problem? Buck?" Linn replied calmly, but cold sweat broke out on his back.

I have been carrying such a time bomb with me these days!

Of course, this can't be blamed on his lack of caution. After all, his dagger has been left in the house in the slum. It's better to just throw away the ready-made weapon in front of you, right?

The most important thing is that there is no information in Carl's memory that [Witch Hunters are equipped with standard weapons].

Judging from the fact that I haven't encountered any trouble these days, there should be very few people who know this information, but obviously I can't hide this from Old York in the [Drunk] Tavern.

No wonder when he was buying Guro wine, the other party would evade the temptation with various reasons. The information that he held the Witch Hunter's Sword should have been passed on to Jonny and the others by Old York.

"Trophy?! You mean you killed a witch hunter and took his sword?" Buck said with a sneer. "Karl, if I remember correctly, you don't even have the most basic magic [Han].

You can't even master the Ice Blade... You might as well find a more suitable reason."

As lackeys of the Holy See, those who can be selected as witch hunters are all the best among the best. Their skills are far superior to ordinary people. They usually operate in small teams of several people. Even formal wizards will be extremely troubled when they encounter them.

For apprentices like them, it was lucky to escape with their lives.

"Sometimes strength doesn't mean everything, Buck!" Linn shook his head, "Besides, it was four months ago when we last met, right?"

As he spoke, Linn stretched out his hand, and the hydrogen and oxygen in the air around him were stripped out, and then quickly cooled and condensed into shape.

Almost instantly, a diamond-shaped ice blade appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with a strange shape but full of strange beauty.

Several wizard apprentices present could not help but be stunned for a moment. This was not because they were surprised by the unprecedented shape of the ice blade, but because Linn's casting speed was too fast!

You must know that before becoming an official wizard, you cannot burn the corresponding spell slots in your brain, so how to quickly complete the complicated spell-casting steps and increase the spell-casting speed has become a big problem.

After all, in a real battle, the enemy will not wait stupidly for you to finish casting a spell. An ordinary wizard apprentice can be qualified if he can complete the preparation of casting a spell within two seconds.

But Lin En compressed the whole process to about one second, probably in order to pursue pure speed. The shape of the ice blade was not a perfect Kelu configuration, but it was enough to make everyone present look at it.

"Also, I don't think the Holy See will allow a wizard to become a witch hunter and issue corresponding weapons to him..." Lin En retorted again before everyone came to their senses.

Buck was completely speechless. The Vatican had always killed wizards like them without mercy. To allow a wizard who was "corrupted by the devil" to become a witch hunter was simply a blasphemy against God...

The other wizard apprentices obviously also understood this truth, and their hostility towards Linn was somewhat restrained.

Jonny did not lower his vigilance, but looked at one of them and asked, "Have you checked the surrounding areas? White Pigeon?"

"No one is surrounding this place..." The person who spoke shrank his body into his black robe and replied timidly.

After receiving an accurate reply, Jonny turned around and said apologetically to Lynn. "I'm sorry, Carl, the situation is urgent and we have to be more careful."

"So, you just doubt me and are preparing to kill me without any evidence?" Lin En asked.

"I assure you, the magic just now was just a test, no one would want to harm their companions!" Jonny solemnly explained.

Lin En stared into the girl's pale golden eyes, and did not see any evasion or lies in them, but when he was attacked before, he really felt the danger.

However, considering that his suspicions were not completely cleared and his perception was not 100% reliable, Lin En did not disclose this information in public.

Compared to the other apprentices, he has followed Kelu for the shortest time and is also the least trustworthy one!

After a pause, Lin En suppressed his unhappiness for the time being and asked again. "Did something happen? I need an explanation..."

"Come with me first. This is not a place for chatting. The battle just now might expose our whereabouts!" Jonny glanced at Lin apologetically, and then asked everyone to return to the station under the cover of night.

When the full moon hung high above his head, a desolate and dilapidated village appeared in front of Lin En.

"This village was massacred and destroyed by a group of mercenaries who sneaked in during the last conquest war of the Duke of Nordland. Now apart from us, there is only a group of wild beasts left here." Jonny sighed, and then softly said

He said to himself, "These damn nobles, damn the Holy See, damn the war!"

Linn looked at Jonny with a little surprise. He was not surprised by the girl's words, but everyone present was probably from a noble family. Is this really okay?

Although he had an inexplicable dislike for nobles, Jonny still chose the location of his temporary residence in a noble manor.

After experiencing the devastation of the war, the huge manor has long lost its former glory. The entire main residence looks crumbling, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.

The interior of the house was not much better. The dilapidated walls were covered with cobwebs, the overturned seats were covered with thick dust, and there was a smell of decay.

But this is the residence of the nobles after all. In order to cope with the war, the huge main residence is almost a small castle, with several sentries set up and even an independent drainage channel. In other words, at least they don't have to drink water here.

Worry about problems.

Entering the manor, Linn soon saw the wizard apprentice staying in the castle - Barton!

Compared with his burly brother Buck, Barton is almost another counterexample. He can only be described as skinny and skinny, as if he could be knocked down by a gust of wind.

Jonny and everyone else carried the debris to the door, sealed the door again, and then took the initiative to speak before Linn asked.

"Kent is dead!"

Who is Kent?

Linn was stunned for a moment, and after rummaging through his memory, he remembered that Kent was the third disciple Kelu had accepted, and the only wizard apprentice who was not present. Unexpectedly, this guy had died.

"On the same day that the teacher was arrested by the Holy See, the Nordland guards raided Kent's hiding place. After that, Buck, Barton and Will were also hunted down. Only Bai Ge's special ability evaded the attack in advance.

"Jionni opened his mouth to explain.

Special ability?

Lin En subconsciously looked at the wizard apprentice named Bai Ge.

She looked a little too young, only about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was not as tall as his shoulders. Her yellow face was dotted with sparse freckles and her hair was messy. She was squatting in the corner alone, feeding a few gray pigs.

crow.

Linn's thoughts changed, and he quickly thought of the crows he heard in the tavern, and then guessed that the other party must have some kind of magic that can control animals.

"I suspect that someone betrayed our information so that the Holy See could find our hiding place so accurately." Jonny said worriedly.

"Then how many people know where our hiding place is?" Linn asked the most critical question.

As wizards who are hunted down and suppressed by the Holy See, they can never disclose their whereabouts at will. This means that there must be very few people who know about it, and they only need to do the elimination method.

Jonny was silent for a while, then shook his head. "Normally, only a few of us should know."

"Could it be the teacher..." Buck on the side asked hesitantly.

"Absolutely impossible!" Jonny's eyes narrowed and he scolded categorically.

Buck shut up immediately.

Lin En did not dwell too much on this question, but asked the second question that concerned him the most.

"Then what's our plan next?"

Linn vaguely regretted the move of finding these wizard apprentices. He originally thought that although Jonny and others were being hunted, they were at least internally stable. Even if they could not lead him to find another official wizard, they could still be a good helper.

However, it seems that is not the case now.

If Jonny doesn't have a reliable enough plan to escape the pursuit of the Holy See, then he will only look for opportunities to break away from this group.

For Linn, it is safer to act alone than to follow a group of pig teammates.

Buck and Will also looked at Jonny together, and even the white dove stopped feeding the gray crow.

During the period when they were being pursued by the Holy See, they asked the same question more than once, but Jonny refused without exception and would not reveal it until all of them arrived.

Jonny didn't hide anything this time and responded calmly. "After that, we will take a boat across the Sea of ​​Mist and go to the land of wizards - Greenriel!"

"Does the Wizarding Land really exist?" Will, who had been silent, suddenly asked. "But I once heard that outside the Sea of ​​Mist, there is a land of death, and those who go out to sea will never come back.

."

"Yes, I have followed my mentor there before. It is a territory that belongs exclusively to wizards. There is no power from the Holy See and there are no witch hunters. Everyone can freely study magic there!" Jonny said firmly.

"This sounds as wonderful as Ella's Holy Land." Barton murmured softly. He really couldn't imagine a world where wizards were not hunted and could cast spells freely. It could only be described as a dream.

Just like the Holy Land of Ella described in the Bible, it is a place that only the most devout believers can reach after death.

There is no pain or aging there, and everyone can live in a spacious manor and enjoy the meticulous care of the dream elves.

In the Holy Land, the river flows with mellow wine, the wheat fields will automatically produce ears of wheat without the need to cultivate them, and the branches of every tree are covered with plump and juicy steaks...

"Ella doesn't like wizards..."

The white pigeon squatting in the corner said weakly, interrupting Barton's fantasy.

"Then how should we get there?" Will asked eagerly.

Jonny hesitated for a moment, but responded truthfully. "The town of Ur is very close to the seaport in Nordland. We can take a boat there. I think... Lame Laud should be able to help us."

Lauder?

Linn couldn't help but be a little surprised. Old York, the owner of the [Drunkard] Tavern, also mentioned this name to him before.

It is said that the lame Laud worked as a pirate for several years when he was young and gained a lot of fame. It was not until his legs were broken during a robbery of a merchant ship that he escaped by pretending to be dead.

However, it was this experience that changed Laud's luck. After that battle, the leader of the pirate gang was killed. Laud, who was lucky enough to stay, successfully became the pirate leader.

However, this guy went against the norm and did not continue his plundering business. Instead, he started a serious business. Now he controls the liquor trade in Ur Town and the seaport, and can be said to be the largest local snake in the entire west of Nordland.

When thinking about the various rumors in the market, Lin En immediately realized that the so-called alcohol trade operated by the other party was just a disguise, and the real main business should be to maintain the connection between the Wizarding Land and the outside world.

"In short, we must seize the time. Only on Sunday will the road to the Wizarding Land be opened briefly." Jonny quickly pulled out the long sword at his waist and simply drew the location of Ur Town and the harbor on the ground.

, and marked the route of action with sword marks.

"We will set off early tomorrow morning and go around the Codesso Mountain. It shouldn't attract anyone's attention. Judging from the astrological indications, this year's Sunday will last for five days. It's totally in time!"

Jonny told the general plan, and seeing that Lin En and others had already memorized it, he destroyed all the carved images with a fireball.

"That's it for tonight!" In the light of the fire, Jonny looked around at everyone and finally added. "White Pigeon, I'll leave the night watch to you. Let Karl carry you on the road tomorrow."

why me?

Lin En touched her nose when her name was called, feeling extremely depressed. She was really bullying the newcomers, wasn't she?
