Chapter 342: Seeking
Isaiah changed into a brand new wizard’s robe, the hand holding her staff sometimes tight, sometimes loose, revealing her restless mood.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Beside her was a middle-aged woman of about forty, named Mona Lisa, a formal apprentice of the academy.
Seeing the change in her expression, Mona Lisa comforted her gently:
“Not all wizards are cold and heartless, especially the younger ones. Unless they are practicing some special magic, their emotions are similar to ours.”
“Wizard Lynn is not even seventeen years old. He went through the apprentice stage with you. He won’t forget you.”
“Yes.” Isaiah forced a smile:
“Since he became a formal wizard, my potion supply has become much more generous. I believe I can become a senior wizard apprentice in a few years.”
“That’s right.” Mona Lisa nodded, her voice tinged with envy:
“You are very lucky!”
“Although you haven’t passed the academy’s re-examination yet, there are many apprentices in the academy who want to build a good relationship with you. After all, you are Wizard Lynn’s closest friend, and Wizard Lynn is one of the most promising wizards.”
Even,
In many people’s speculations, Lynn is very likely to become a second-circle wizard in the future.
And Isaiah, who is on good terms with him, will definitely advance to become a wizard as long as she can get his sponsorship.
Mona Lisa had taken care of Isaiah when they were in the academy. Now, she hoped to gain Isaiah’s friendship.
The change in status is so abrupt.
“He’s here!”
Isaiah’s body tensed up, and she trotted to greet the figure approaching in the distance, bowing respectfully:
“Wizard Lynn.”
“Lord Lynn.” Mona Lisa followed closely behind.
“Isaiah, my friend, you don’t need to be so formal. Just call me Lynn like before,” Lynn waved his hand and said:
“Come with me.”
“Yes.”
Isaiah still maintained a respectful attitude, not relaxing her tense body because of Lynn’s friendly attitude.
This was Mona Lisa’s teaching.
‘After becoming a wizard, things will be different from the past. No matter how good your relationship was before, you must maintain a certain level of respect.’
Mona Lisa said with emotion:
‘I have seen similar things before. Several good friends, one of them luckily became a wizard. The others’ attitudes toward him remained unchanged. They thought this was good and could bring them closer, but they didn’t know they had angered that wizard. From then on, one by one, they met with misfortune.’
‘Wizards are different from us. Even if you don’t respect him as a person, you must respect the power he represents.’
Isaiah agreed wholeheartedly.
She followed Lynn into the room. Mona Lisa, knowing her place, didn’t follow, but stood guard outside the door.
“You should have stayed in the academy to prepare for the re-examination,” Lynn said, gesturing for her to sit down.
“Why did you come here?”
“I was planning to wait for the re-examination, but the academy summoned me. I happened to be on the list,” Isaiah said cautiously:
“Is there a problem?”
“…” Lynn said thoughtfully:
“It’s too dangerous for you to come here.”
“I’ve heard about it too,” Isaiah nodded:
“Many people died in this extermination of abyssal creatures, so the academy is conducting a second summons.”
“It’s not this,” Lynn shook his head:
“I have an enemy in the academy. He doesn’t dare to attack me directly, but he might attack people around me.”
“Like you!”
“Ah!” Isaiah’s face turned pale, her eyes flickered, and she said:
“On the way here, I heard someone say that two wizard apprentices who were attached to you encountered danger, but you haven’t taken any action.”
“Hmm…” Lynn tapped the table lightly:
“I’m not familiar with those two. I don’t even know their names. It’s obvious that someone wants to lure me out of the wizard tower’s protection.”
As for the consequences of leaving here, it was easy to imagine.
“Does someone really dare to attack a wizard?” Isaiah said with concern:
“You must be careful.”
“I’m fine.” Lynn smiled, stood up, and stretched his limbs:
“Wizards, whether they are formal or apprentices, when you think about it carefully, it’s all about the survival of the fittest. There’s no difference.”
“I became a wizard at a young age and am favored by many, but without a background, naturally, no one will take care of me. Even if I die outside, no one will really care. At most, I’ll become a topic of conversation.”
After all, his advancement time was too short. Although he had caught the eye of some people, it was far from enough to make him a confidant.
Moreover.
He was not the type of person to be subservient to others.
“Lynn…” Isaiah became more worried.
“Don’t worry about me,” Lynn waved his hand:
“You should be more concerned about yourself. If someone is targeting me, they might attack you.”
“Don’t stray too far from me during this time. I’ll arrange a job for you near the wizard tower.”
“…” Isaiah’s pretty face flushed red:
“Okay.”
◈◈◈
“Also,” Lynn thought for a moment and said:
“There should be many people who want to build a relationship with you during this time. If it doesn’t affect your cultivation, you can do as you please. And by the way, help me investigate something.”
“There’s a magical creature called a magpie raccoon, which has a keen sense of smell. Some demon hunting groups will specifically raise them…”
He had asked Maggie to investigate, and she had found some things, but after all, it was through the power of others, which was always inconvenient.
It was better to do it himself.

Half a month later.
Less than thirty miles from the abyssal rift.
Several figures were frantically fleeing, using blink, gale, flying magic, and all sorts of acceleration techniques on their bodies.
Run!
Run fast!
The leaves in the dense forest behind them rustled, and a line of fire flashed from time to time.
Every time a line of fire appeared, it was accompanied by a figure falling, instantly turning into a pile of ashes.
Whether it was steel armor or a magic shield, they were completely ineffective against that mysterious attack.
Before long.
“Boom!”
A ball of flame fell from the sky, engulfing one of the fleeing figures.
When the flames dissipated, only a charred corpse remained, along with his companions, who were filled with horror.
“Magpie raccoon,” Lynn’s figure appeared not far away, holding a creature that looked like a raccoon in his arms.
Except this raccoon had blue fur, and a pair of fluffy wings grew on its back, making it look very cute.
“It’s still very cute when it’s not angry.”
Although Lynn’s stroking movements were very gentle, this magpie raccoon seemed to be greatly frightened, its body tensing up subconsciously.
“Unfortunately, it’s not the one I’m looking for.”
“Where is the other one?”
The aura of this magpie raccoon was very similar to the one at the scene of Susan’s disappearance, but it wasn’t the same one.
But a pair.
The only survivor in the field trembled and looked up:
“I…can you let me go?”
“No,” Lynn shook his head:
“Even if it wasn’t about the magpie raccoon, you secretly hunted down academy apprentices. As an academy wizard, I should kill you.”
“Don’t think that just because you don’t speak, I won’t be able to find out. You should be very clear about a wizard’s power.”
“Tell me, and you will die more quickly.”
?
The survivor looked desperate.
…………
“Bang!”
A delicate porcelain object was smashed into countless pieces.
Xize, a middle-stage first-circle wizard from the Abyss Cabin, glared, his whole body like an enraged lion.
No!
A fire lion!
The flames that surged from his body caused the temperature of the space around him to soar, and the rocks turned into rolling lava.
“Charles is a waste!”
“It’s been so long, and according to him, Lynn hasn’t made a move. He clearly appeared nearby.”
“Grandpa,” a young voice sounded:
“Could it be that Charles betrayed you? After all, for you, swallowing Lynn can increase your cultivation and foundation. For Lynn, you are also a great delicacy?”
?
Xize looked up, his eyes flickering, and after pursing his lips, he said:
“Lynn secretly left the Viper Academy’s territory and came to the vicinity of the abyssal rift. What for?”
“I don’t know,” the young man shook his head:
“It seems to be related to the demon hunting group.”
