The Synthesis Wizard
Chapter 240: Witch Hunting Legion
Luoxia City, Buyi Tavern.
As the leading tavern in Luoxia City, Buyi Tavern is already overcrowded before it gets dark.
As you pass the closed door, you can still hear shouts and laughter coming from inside.
Joseph had just finished serving the dishes to the guests and turned around to clean up another table with messy cups and plates, when suddenly the sound of a bell as the door opened came to his ears.
"Welcome!"
Joseph shouted subconsciously, turned his head and was slightly startled.
Just because the person who came here was not only wearing a loose gray robe, covering his entire body, but also wearing a mask that covered most of his face. Only his chin was exposed, and his complexion was under the light. Seems a bit defeated.
"It's not a wizard, is it?"
This idea came to Joseph's mind for the first time, but he immediately rejected it.
Although there are often wizards coming and going in Luoxia City, and it is said that there are more than ten wizards stationed in the lord's mansion all year round, but those high-ranking figures will not come to such a noisy place.
"Probably a guy who worships wizards and imitates their clothes."
Working in the tavern, he saw a lot of people of all kinds, so Joseph didn’t make a fuss. He stepped forward and greeted politely:
"Guests, sit inside. Our fine ale wine is the best in Luoxia City. It is brewed with fine fine wheat. It has a delicate texture and excellent taste. Do you want a drink?"
The man in gray robe was led by Joseph to sit down at a newly vacated table in the corner of the tavern. With a flick of his finger, a silver coin slid towards Joseph with a crisp sound.
"A glass of fine ale and a lamb chop."
"Okay, please wait!"
Joseph caught the silver coin with quick eyes and hands, and stepped back with a smile on his face.
Not long after, a glass of yellow fine ale and a fragrant lamb steak were served.
"Please use it slowly."
Joseph was about to leave, but was stopped by the man in gray robe.
"Wait a minute, let me ask you something."
Joseph turned around and saw a golden light falling towards him. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and his eyes widened immediately.
A gold coin!
Joseph swallowed, then clenched his palms tightly, with a bright smile on his face, nodded and bowed and said:
"Guests can ask questions, and I will answer them if I know what to do!"
The man in gray robe said: "I heard that there are many wizard apprentices in Luoxia City?"
"Yes, there are more than ten residents in the Lord's Mansion, and there are also people who come and go on a daily basis. If you are lucky, you can occasionally see those adults passing by on the street riding black rock leopards."
"Black rock leopard?"
"A kind of puppet. I heard it was made by wizards. There are also many black rock leopards in the army."
The man in gray robe nodded and asked another question.
"I heard that there are wizards in the Star Alliance. Is it true?"
"this."
Joseph scratched his head and said nonchalantly:
"It is true that this is the rumor outside, but guest, to tell you the truth, ordinary people like us don't know the difference between wizards and wizard apprentices. In our eyes, they are both big shots, and they are usually treated as honorifics. Wizard, so I really can’t answer your question.”
The man in gray robe didn't say anything when he heard this, he just nodded.
At this moment, the door of the tavern suddenly opened with a clang, and a group of strong men walked in. They shouted loudly as soon as they entered.
"Boss, as usual, serve the food and wine quickly!"
The sound was so loud that it suppressed the noise in the tavern for a while.
Several people near the door looked back dissatisfied, but after seeing the person clearly, their expressions changed slightly, and they immediately turned back, pretending that nothing happened.
When the other guests saw these people, they also had expressions of awe in their eyes.
The owner of the tavern immediately ran out of the kitchen and greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, Mr. McCarthy. I heard this morning that your Chamber of Commerce's caravan came to Luoxia City, and I have been looking forward to your coming to do business. This way, please!"
Seeing this scene, the man in gray robe asked Joseph, "Who are those people?"
"They are the guards of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce." Joseph had an expression of envy mixed with longing on his face.
"Is the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce famous?" the gray-robed man asked.
As soon as these words came out, Joseph's expression when he looked at the man in gray suddenly became very strange. His eyes seemed to say, 'You don't know about the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce', as if this was something incredible.
Although he was confused, Joseph patiently explained: "The Firefox Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, with shops and caravans all over the empire. It is also the largest among the imperial merchants appointed by the empire."
"I heard that when the Firefox Chamber of Commerce was just a small chamber of commerce, I met the founding emperor of the empire, His Majesty Key, and developed a friendship. From then on, it developed rapidly and has become the leading chamber of commerce in the empire today."
"More than half of the magic machines in Luoxia City are sold by the Firefox Chamber of Commerce."
"Magic machine?" The man in gray robe suddenly had a hint of curiosity in his calm tone just now, "What is that?"
Joseph looked increasingly strange.
It’s just that I haven’t heard of the Firefox Chamber of Commerce. How come I don’t even know about the magic machine?
You must know that even the villages in the countryside are now using magic machines. Could this person just come out of some remote mountain nook?
Joseph secretly cursed, but for the sake of the gold coins, he still explained:
"A magic energy machine is a machine that can provide powerful power as long as secondary magic stones are put in it. Magic energy carriages, magic energy airships, and army cannons are all made of magic energy machines."
"According to those nobles, this seems to be called sub-magic technology, and it sounds very powerful."
"That's it." The man in gray robe thought thoughtfully.
Bang!
A wine glass suddenly hit the table hard, and the golden wine spilled out, splashing onto the sleeves of Joseph who could not dodge. There were also a few wet spots on the chest of the man in gray robe.
"Hey, boy, we brothers want this table, leave now!"
The speaker was a big man with a rugged face and a pair of triangular eyes squinting at the man in gray robe.
There were four or five men behind him, all of whom looked jokingly and looked at the man in gray robe up and down with unkind eyes.
Looking at this scene, the experienced Joseph still didn't understand. He glanced at the tavern and found that all the tables were already occupied. Only one guest was sitting on the table here, which looked a bit dazzling in the crowded tavern. .
Seeing this, Joseph couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being confused. He should have taken the guests to the counter just now. That was the area where individual customers usually sat.
It was just that at first he felt that the man in gray robe was not an ordinary person, so he arranged a special table, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing as jockeying for a seat.
In a hurry, Joseph was about to speak to calm down the atmosphere, but saw that the man in gray robe didn't raise his head, didn't even look at the strong man and the others, and just said something in a deep voice.
"roll!"
Joseph's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was going to happen.
But what happened next left him stunned.
The strong man and others actually listened to the man in gray robe and turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Under the light, the faces of several people seemed a little dull.
It wasn't until the figures of the strong man and others disappeared at the gate that Joseph came back to his senses, swallowed, and looked at the man in gray robe with awe in his eyes.
He was not stupid. Based on the various powerful and magical abilities of wizards in the rumors, he naturally guessed that the person in front of him must have used the legendary spell just now. This guest turns out to be a powerful wizard!
"S-Sir."
"Thank you for the information."
The man in gray robe interrupted Joseph's stammering words and picked up the ale on the table.
Joseph immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Please use it slowly. If you need anything, you can always tell me."
After saying that, he excused himself and left.
The man in gray robe slowly tasted the fine wine and food. Although his movements were elegant, his eating speed was not slow. In a short time, all the food on the table was eaten.
Putting a gold coin on the table, the man in gray robe left the tavern without looking back.
It was already dark outside.
The deep night shrouded the whole city.
The silver moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight falls on the street, as if it is covered with a thin layer of gauze.
For some reason, not long after leaving the tavern, the people around him gradually became sparse, and in the end, he was the only one left on the huge street.
There was silence all around, as if he was the only one left in the world.
The man in gray robe keenly noticed something was wrong, stopped and looked around.
Following the sound of slight footsteps, two figures walked out of the shadows one after the other, blocking his front and rear respectively.
By the moonlight, the man in gray robe quickly saw the figure of the person coming.
But they were two men in gray robes, both wearing star-shaped badges on their chests.
"What's the matter with you two stopping me?" the man in gray robe asked.
The man blocking the front looked at him for a few times and said calmly: "You are a wizard apprentice, right? We are the law enforcement team of the Star Alliance. According to the Star Alliance regulations, any wizard apprentice must be registered before entering the town. Please excuse me." Come back and register with us, and explain your origins by the way.”
"Don't worry, as long as you haven't committed a crime, we won't do anything against you."
A trace of surprise and uncertainty flashed in the gray-robed man's eyes.
How did the Covenant become aware of his identity?
Obviously he didn't show any flaws from beginning to end!
Wait, is it possible that the magic was cast in the tavern just now?
Seeing that the man in gray robe remained silent, the man from the law enforcement team frowned and said in a deep voice: "Please go back with us!"
The man in gray robe remained silent.
Upon seeing this, the two members of the law enforcement team looked at each other, quickly reached a tacit understanding, and the next moment they suddenly took action at the same time.
Ma Youfu's acid arrow!
Scorch ray!
Two second-level spells attacked the gray-robed man in tandem.
Luoxia City is one of the important cities for housing secondary star cores, and its garrison strength far exceeds that of ordinary towns.
The most obvious one is the permanent presence of a law enforcement team.
The Star Alliance law enforcement team is famous throughout the Starlight Continent, especially among the wild wizard apprentices, and it is even more feared.
The wild wizard apprentice who has fallen into the hands of the law enforcement team over the years is unknown.
The first requirement for joining the law enforcement team is a third-level wizard apprentice.
At this time, the two members of the law enforcement team that besieged the gray-robed man were both third-level wizard apprentices.
The two of them had teamed up to deal with many wild wizard apprentices without ever losing, and they were as confident as ever in this operation.
But the next second, in their stunned eyes, two spells hit the gray-robed man, but disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea, without any reaction.
What's going on? !
Both of them looked horrified.
Before they could react, the man in gray robe raised his hands, and two bolts of lightning suddenly burst out, tearing through the night like sharp arrows one after the other, hitting two members of the law enforcement team respectively!
In an instant, there was a continuous sound of popping, and the protective force field and energy particle protective layer on the two people were broken almost instantly, and the electric light swam across the body like a small snake.
thump!
The two of them were instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground. It took them a while to recover.
But when he looked up again, he found that the man in gray robe had disappeared.
"What spell was that just now?"
"It's not a spell, it's just simple energy particle manipulation!"
"How is that possible?!"
Using only energy particle control to instantly knock down two of their third-level wizard apprentices, only a wizard can do that!
Could it be that the man in gray robe is actually a wizard?
The two people immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. One of them immediately took out a book. After opening it, countless slender lights floated out from the pages of the book, intertwining to form a human-shaped shadow, which vaguely looked like a middle-aged man.
"What happened?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"Captain, we missed the target."
The law enforcement team member holding a book quickly told the story.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man also realized that something was wrong and immediately said: "You guys come back first. The target is not something our team can deal with. I will ask for support from above."
As soon as the words fell, the shadow disappeared.
The two law enforcement team members looked at each other with a wry smile on their faces.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a difficult target. Where did that person come from?"
"No matter where he jumped out, his life breath was recorded by the Eye of the Star. He can't escape capture even if he runs to the end of the world!"
After knocking down two law enforcement members, the gray-robed man immediately left Luoxia City and entered the remote mountain forest away from the main road.
"Covenant Alliance?"
"I didn't expect that this plane has been controlled by wizard forces, and the opponent seems to be quite large. You can encounter two third-level wizard apprentices in any city."
"It seems like I need to find a place to hide out for a while to avoid the limelight."
As soon as this thought came to the man in gray robe's mind, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In the shadowed woods ahead, two tall and slender figures slowly walked out.
The moonlight fell on the two of them, reflecting the two delicate faces that were carved out of the same mold, as well as the almost indistinguishable delicate figures.
"Who is it?" The man in gray robe asked in a deep voice.
Different from the two people just now, these two beautiful women in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling, and he no longer had the leisurely mentality he had before.
"Covenant Witch Hunters," the woman on the left said.
"Let's take it easy." The woman on the right said immediately.
The gray-robed man's eyes twitched.
What's going on?
Why was the Covenant able to locate his location so quickly and send people over?
Isn't the efficiency of this action too exaggerated? (End of chapter)
