Chapter 109 Interlude

A carriage was moving forward in the deep foggy forest.

The surrounding environment was dim, and the lush trees and fog blocked the sunlight. Even at noon, it was extremely cold in the forest.

Dias sat at the front of the carriage, holding a phantom lamp in his hand.

The light dispelled the surrounding darkness, making the horror in the deep forest dare not approach, but the faint shrill howling was still chilling.

I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage finally drove out of the foggy forest.

The bright sunshine spread to the earth, making the surrounding grass and trees covered with a layer of golden light. Feeling the long-lost breath of life, Enzo, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn’t help but open the window.

"I have been in the wizard academy for half a year, and finally I came out to breathe."

The carriage was driving on a grassland, feeling the gentle breeze blowing, and Enzo even became happy.

Suddenly, a howl came from not far away.

"What's going on?" Enzo frowned.

"Master, we have encountered a pack of wolves." Dias stopped the carriage and asked, "They are the wind wolves that often appear in this grassland. Do you need me to go down and kill them?"

"Wind wolf pack? Okay, go!" Enzo nodded slightly and walked out of the carriage.

On the grassland in the distance, a group of blue wind wolves were running towards the carriage. There were about a dozen of them. The wind wolves in the front were as big as calves and looked very strong and fierce.

The wolves were about to attack, but Dias was not in a hurry and slowly drew out the knight's sword.

Swish!

A wind wolf jumped up and pounced on the carriage. Dias swung his sword and slashed. The flaming fighting spirit was fleeting like fireworks, but with a wail, the wind wolf fell in mid-air.

Holding the knight's sword with both hands, Dias looked indifferent.

Killing a wind wolf with one sword obviously gave the wolf pack a great shock. These cunning guys dared not attack rashly again, and began to surround the carriage, baring their teeth and roaring.

But the situation did not fall into a stalemate, because Dias soon took action.

His steps were disordered and orderly, and he rushed directly to the wolf pack. The knight sword in his hand swung quickly, slashing out flames of sword energy, and almost instantly killed five or six wind wolves.

"Awoo!!" Seeing their companions being slaughtered, the remaining wind wolves panicked.

They saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away with their tails between their legs, but Dias did not give them a chance. He chased after them in one step, and the hot sword energy easily killed the wind wolves one by one.

In less than ten minutes, a group of wind wolves were all killed.

"Master, it's solved." Dias shook the blood drops on the knight sword and returned to the carriage.

"Then let's move on." Enzo nodded slightly.

Through the battle just now, he had a preliminary understanding of Dias's strength.

The power of the Magic Knight is above that of the Sky Knight. It is said that it has reached the limit and can compete with the third-level wizard apprentice, but Dias is obviously not at that level yet. At most, he can be compared with the second-level wizard apprentice.

However, considering the various strange methods of wizard apprentices, this measurement method is not rigorous.

In most cases, wizards are always stronger than life forms of the same level. In addition to their innate advantages, they are also favored and empowered by the will of the origin of the world.

More than ten days later, outside the wilderness.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, emitting a gentle light.

A carriage is parked quietly under the tree. In the open space next to it, a fire lit by branches is burning. In the crackling sound, the fire reflects the shadow of Dias.

He sat silently beside the fire, roasting a hare in his hand.

At the front of the carriage, Enzo closed his eyes and leaned on the door behind him. His mind was empty, and the light spots like elves jumped around him and slowly sank into it.

Suddenly, a fine sound came from my ears.

Enzo opened his eyelids, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly woke up from his meditation state. By the fire, Dias seemed to have noticed the sounds around him, and his palm pressed on the knight's sword at his waist.

"Hiss! Hiss!!"

The surrounding woods shook, and more than a dozen stiff figures came out. They were dressed in tattered clothes, their skin was pale and rotten, and although they walked upright, there was no breath of life on their bodies.

"It's a corpse ghost!" Dias drew out the knight's sword.

"Deal with them." Enzo ordered without raising his head.

It was not the first time that he encountered trouble on the way from the academy to Snowhoof City. The wizard world is full of all kinds of weirdness. The so-called corpse ghosts are often some hunters who died accidentally in the forest and were infected by the dark breath.

This kind of monster cannot be killed by swords, but it is extremely afraid of fire.

Waving the long sword, Dias rushed directly up.

The ghouls were very strong, but their movements were very slow. Although there were more than a dozen of them, they seemed vulnerable to Diaz's flame fighting spirit, and most of them were dealt with in a few minutes.

Enzo retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, and planned to continue meditating.

However, at this moment, a palpitation suddenly surged into his heart. Enzo suddenly opened his eyes, and a gust of cold wind came from behind him. He turned around and saw a black shadow coming towards him.

Choke!

A knife stabbed out, and a look of ecstasy appeared on the black shadow's face, but then the blade crushed the residual image, his face suddenly changed drastically, and his body suddenly retreated.

Witchcraft - residual image clone!

"Who are you?" Enzo appeared expressionless not far away.

The black shadow's eyes changed, and his steps suddenly retreated.

Puff!

At this moment, there was a sudden sharp pain in the lower back, and a look of pain appeared on the face of the black shadow. He turned his head with difficulty, but only saw a group of twisted black mist-like shadow assassins, which turned into black smoke and dissipated the next moment.

On the other side, Diaz had already dealt with the corpse ghost.

He quickly ran to Enzo's side and looked around vigilantly. The black shadow who was injured by the shadow assassin knelt on the ground weakly, and black gas continued to flow out of the wound.

"Diaz, catch him and interrogate him." Enzo frowned and ordered.

Although he encountered several troubles on the way out of the academy, they were different from this time. The other party first used the corpse ghost to attract Diaz's attention, and then attacked. Obviously, he came prepared.

"Yes, master." Diaz responded and walked forward.

At this moment, the injured attacker coughed suddenly, with an extremely painful expression on his face. From his mouth and nose, a group of black gas came out, and then, black flames ignited on his body.

"This" Diaz hesitated and stopped.

Enzo narrowed his eyes, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

In a moment, the attacker's body was burned to ashes, leaving only the remaining ashes, forming a strange rune pattern on the ground.
