The passageway is long and complex.
At the same time, it's practically impossible to get through this corner without knowing the route.
Follow Willow.
Half an hour later, everyone left the passage.
At this moment, the group was already on the outskirts of the Emerald Shadow Forest. Ancient trees towered all around, and the mist made it difficult to discern their exact location.
"Conceal your presence, let's go to the Cold Wind Market."
Willow turned her head, her fiery red hair flowing, and her voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
All the wizards understood that the outside world was not safe at the moment. If the Blackrock School discovered their training sequence, they would definitely do everything in their power to attack them.
Ian also remained highly vigilant.
The Eye of Radiance was always open, constantly observing its surroundings.
Given the large number of people involved, Ian had no doubt that their whereabouts might have already been leaked.
really.
Just over ten minutes later.
Ahead lay a valley, and Ian suddenly sensed a large number of auras, one of which was almost identical to Willow's.
There are even several third-class wizard apprentices.
This?
Without hesitation, Ian quickly cut through the back of the line and headed straight for the front.
The others were all somewhat surprised.
Willow, naturally noticing this, turned to look at Ian and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Lady Willow, a large number of wizards are lurking in the valley ahead."
Ian said quickly.
"Is a wizard lurking in the shadows?"
Willow stopped abruptly, seemingly surprised.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Ian; it was mainly because he had been maintaining the high-level detection spell "Breath of Flame," yet hadn't detected anything unusual.
Either the opponent has extremely high concealment skills, or —
She gave Ian a deep look, without questioning him, and simply raised her hand to signal everyone to stop.
At this moment, the other wizards also raised an eyebrow.
Honestly, they didn't believe what Ian had said earlier, after all, Willow was a top-tier wizard apprentice.
Their detection capabilities are far superior to theirs.
To their surprise, all they saw was Willow writing: "Turn around and take the east forest path. Ian, you stay with me. The rest of you, get ready."
Everyone was taken aback.
But no one dared to disobey Willow's orders.
"Luckily, I listened to advice."
Ian breathed a sigh of relief and followed Willow, quickly heading in a new direction.
But a few minutes later, he sensed the presence of that group of people again and said, "Sir, they're catching up."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a faint whooshing sound and the scraping of branches came from behind.
A glint of coldness flashed in Willow's eyes, and she stopped in her tracks.
"No need to hide anymore." Her voice was clear and bright, piercing through the forest mist. "Now that you're here, you're not leaving."
From the shadows of the forest, a tall, thin figure emerged first, a dark brown scar running across his face. It was Zach, the leader of the Blackrock School's infiltration team.
Behind him, more than ten black-robed wizards appeared one after another, forming a semi-circle.
"Willow—" Zack grinned, his scar writhing like a centipede.
"What a coincidence."
"A chance encounter? With so many people, hiding on the only road I could pass, how 'coincidental' is that?"
Willow looked at him, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
A faint hint of mockery lingered in his eyes.
"You laughed?"
Ian blinked, his eyes flickering slightly.
This is?
As if he had just thought of something, the Eye of Radiance looked outwards and saw several unfamiliar auras converging here.
They seem to be from a certain school of thought!
Is this using them to dig a hole?
Ian suddenly understood, and that's why Willow was the only one escorting them, and why their outing was so hasty.
The scarred wizard was also taken aback.
The next second, his expression changed.
"Run! This is a trap!"
He shouted.
But it was too late; all they could see were four core teams appearing in the forest from all directions.
There were at least five third-class wizards and a full twenty second-class wizard apprentices, but no first-class wizard apprentices.
"Let's get started."
Willow turned to the group of nurtured sequences who were already in a daze and spoke.
next moment.
The brilliance of various witchcrafts intertwined and collided, with the light of staffs and witchcraft artifacts forming a barrier.
Willow enters the battlefield.
Surrounded by flames, even a second-class apprentice would be injured upon contact, and a third-class apprentice would not dare to take the hit head-on.
Ian and Levi exchanged a glance.
"Let's get started."
Li Wei strode forward and joined the battle.
Ian hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and with no other choice, he joined the battle.
However, he always stayed on the very edge of the battlefield, occasionally unleashing spells at the Blackstone apprentices who were trying to retreat and encircle them.
He controlled the intensity, maintaining it at the level of an "excellent second-class apprentice".
But even so.
Ian's spellcasting precision and rhythm, far surpassing those of his peers, still drew Willow's attention.
In the center of the battlefield, the battle between Zach and Willow has reached a fever pitch.
Zack seems to be skilled in shadow magic, his figure is ghostly, sometimes blending into the shadows of the trees, sometimes suddenly attacking Willow from behind.
But Willow's fire domain seemed to have a life of its own, always managing to block his attacks one step ahead.
This is the pinnacle apprentice—
Ian felt a chill run down his spine.
Even if he advanced to the third-level wizard apprentice level, he would still be far from being a match for them, and might not even have a chance to escape.
"Third-tier is still too weak, I need to hurry up and condense the resonance runes!"
Ian remarked with a sigh.
Similarly, at this time, I secretly tested the resonance rune.
He discovered that even though it had only just condensed, it could still enhance his sorcery's power by nearly ten percent.
In the blink of an eye.
Half an hour passed.
Through the efforts of many members of the Horton School of Wizardry, the wizards of the Blackrock School died one by one.
In the end, even the peak wizard apprentice was reduced to skeletons by Willow's fireball amidst the crowd's onslaught.
Victory in the war.
Willow's face was flushed, unable to hide her excitement.
He then approached Ian and thanked him, saying, "Ian, you did a great job this time!"
"I?"
Ian was taken aback.
What does it have to do with him?
"If you hadn't discovered the enemy's ambush location just now, I wouldn't have been able to quickly gather the combat squad."
Willow explained, her face full of admiration.
She never expected that Ian's detection ability was even stronger than hers; it was simply outrageous.
No wonder he's someone who can improve energy potions.
"We still need the adults!"
"There's no need to be modest. If we wait until we enter the ambush area, things will get complicated." Willow shook her head and said, "According to the rules, you can choose one item from this peak-level wizard apprentice's possession!"
Hiss!
Ian was also surprised that Willow was so generous.
The others also looked on with envy.
However, most of them didn't have any objections. After all, if they really entered the ambush, even if the wizards from the school arrived, they might still lose a few people.
soon.
The wizards of the school dealt with the battlefield.
Willow took the storage ring from the top wizard apprentice and then tossed the three most valuable items to Ian.
Ian looked over.
All three are top-grade witch artifacts with zero rings:
A Shadowthorn Staff, entirely dark silver, capable of greatly enhancing shadow magic.
A Rock Scale Bracelet, when activated, can condense a layer of rock armor that can resist attacks from third-class wizards.
And a silver-gray eye-shaped pendant, with a gemstone set in the pupil that shimmers with light.
Ian's gaze fell on the pendant.
"It's called the Eye of the Secrets," Willow explained at the opportune moment. "It enhances the range and accuracy of detection-type magic and is equipped with an elemental repulsion field," allowing it to deflect close-range attacks in times of crisis. However, it demands a high level of elemental perception from the wearer, making it difficult for ordinary wizards to fully utilize its effects."
Ian was taken aback.
Reach out and touch the pendant.
The moment they made contact, Ian felt a faint resonance from the four advanced runes within his body, and his mental vision suddenly expanded and became clear. "This is it."
Without hesitation, he said directly.
"Can."
"Okay." Willow nodded, took back the other two items, and said, "Get ready, let's continue."
They handed the scene over to the school's members and continued towards the Coldwind Market.
Everything went smoothly this time.
The group arrived at the Cold Wind Market without incident.
The school of thought arranged for them to stay in a hotel.
Two days later.
The airship bound for the Green Corridor Wizarding School has arrived.
