Chapter 268 Possible Shortcut

In the captain's room, as Ant finished speaking, there was an inexplicable silence.

Ant glanced at Colin cautiously and felt that the mysterious wizard's face was as gloomy as the sea in the middle of the night.

...Such a sudden performance made them dare not make a sound, and they only dared to wait quietly for Colin's instructions.

'The elves...the tree elves...'

At this moment, Colin felt that his back seemed to be trembling, and he had an inexplicable sour feeling... His white forearms tightened unconsciously, and the palms hidden under the loose witch robe had also been clenched into fists.

‘The tree elves have taken refuge in the gods…

Although I don’t know what kind of god it is, no matter what, as long as it is a god, it is the enemy of wizards! ’

‘And the enemy’s lackey will actually fight alongside the wizard? ! ’

Thinking of this, Colin felt as if a heavy boulder was weighing on his heart.

Although there are still many questions that cannot be answered, one thing is certain -

The elves who suddenly appeared were obviously not allies, but spies!

‘...No, not necessarily, maybe some elves who have not fallen to the gods. ’

Subconsciously comforting myself, but the anxiety in my heart is like crumpled paper... it is always difficult to soothe.

"I promise you."

Without giving himself any more time to think, Colin took a deep breath, looked at the three people in front of him and said in a deep voice.

He has never had much personal experience with the war between gods and wizards.

If he had to say, the one who impressed him most about the gods was the golden god he met on Blackstone Island when he was still very weak.

But there are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. This war is about the life and death of the wizard community!

And now that I am a wizard, the success or failure of the wizard's side is also my own success...

'This news must be spread...'

As his heart became more and more anxious, Colin's expression became calmer, waiting for the replies from the three people in front of him.

Anna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Colin's answer, but her face suddenly became a little disappointed. She paused, turned her head and looked at Ant, and was about to give some instructions.

But Ant kept shaking his head and said, "Sister Anna, I will not leave alone."

He turned to look at Old Jack again, "Jack, you know, after I leave, Sister Anna will never escape from Lean's clutches..."

Colin sighed in his heart, then hardened his heart and prepared to interrupt Ant.

There is not much time to delay now, and there must be no unnecessary complications.

He understands the importance of the information he holds now - this is key information that may affect the outcome of today's war!

Due to emotions and reasons, the most important thing to do now is to pass this news to the Supreme Council!

"Master Wizard!"

But just when he was about to speak, Ant suddenly turned his head and fell to his knees.

"Ante?!" Anna's face changed slightly and she shouted in a low voice.

Old Jack glanced at Anna, the girl he had watched grow up. An inexplicable flash of hesitation flashed across his face, and he stood silently without any movement.

As for Ant, he naturally ignored Anna's shouting.

He raised his head, pursed his lips and stared at Colin, and then said:

"Sir, I beg you to take the three of us away together, escape from this sea, and return to the wizard's territory!"

Colin was silent. If he had not learned the news about the elves, he might have agreed softly.

But now... holding this kind of news is like carrying an invisible mountain, which prevents him from taking any unnecessary risks.

Ant bit his lower lip and continued.

"Sir, although Sister Anna does not have the talent of a wizard, she is a peak knight, and old Jack is also a great knight..."

"Sorry..." Colin shook his head slowly.

Ant's face suddenly turned pale, and his expression suddenly dropped.

At this moment, he even wanted to threaten the wizard in front of him if he didn't use the Sighing Blood Crystal seriously.

It's a pity... He knew this was the worst of the worst.

The brain is spinning rapidly.

The next second, an idea flashed in Ant's mind, and he seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth and continued,

"Master Wizard, I also know a way that allows you to reach Quinte Island directly without passing through the battlefield defenses!"

‘No need to cross battlefield defenses… Isle of Quinte? ’

When Colin heard this, he suddenly swallowed the rejection that he was about to blurt out. He subconsciously searched for the location of Quinte Island by comparing it with the map in his mind.

The name Quint seems a bit rare.

After a while, he found an island called Quint just southeast of Gupil Island.

Not too excited... In this kind of situation, people are most likely to tell lies, or words that they are not sure about at all.

Colin's expression did not change. He paused, stared at the young Ant in a deliberately stern tone, and asked in a deep voice, word by word:

"Are you sure...what you said is true?"

Ant swallowed and his body trembled slightly, but he still nodded and stumbled: "I'm sure, sir."

He paused and added: "But to be precise, it leads to a hidden island next to Quinte Island."

‘It’s not Quinte Island, but a hidden island... It doesn’t matter, as long as it can reach the sea area controlled by the wizard. ’

It's just... Colin's two sword eyebrows touched together.

At least now, Ant's performance doesn't seem to be lying.

"Ant, what are you doing?"

Anna on the side couldn't help but asked in a low voice. She had no idea that the method Ant mentioned existed...

Besides, if there was really a way to reach Quinte Island behind the wizard without crossing the front line, they would have escaped here long ago, and they would no longer have to rely on the Sighing Blood Crystal to support themselves here.

"Sister Anna, I'm not telling lies. I only found out about this by chance when I was with my father once before..." Ant explained quickly.

Old Jack on the side also seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

"So, do you know of a certain teleportation array nearby, or some special teleportation gate? Tell me everything in detail."

Colin frowned, calmly stared at the young man in front of him, and continued to ask.

"Okay, sir." Ant nodded, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to explain in detail.

But Colin suddenly raised his hand to stop Ant.

"Someone is coming." He raised his head, pointed to the captain's room, and then waved away the silence.

Stepping to the corner, like a burst of blue smoke, it suddenly disappeared into the shadows...

Young Ant looked at the scene of Colin disappearing, and finally realized why Colin knew the identities of his friends...

He still felt a little creepy when he thought that the mysterious wizard might have been beside him when he was talking to old Jack.

The same was true for Anna and Old Jack on the side. Old Jack was even more diligently observing, trying to find traces of Colin.

However, the visitors coming towards the captain's cabin did not give them such time.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Just two or three seconds later, a knock on the door rang quickly, and at the same time a deep voice came.

"Captain Jack, I'm sorry to bother you, but we're... I'm afraid we've run into some trouble."
