Chapter 401 The Secret of Ancestors

Colin subconsciously held his breath and restrained his movements even more.

But in fact, he doesn't have to be like this. Now that he has advanced to the second level knight, it has brought him an improvement in all aspects.

Even without using witchcraft, you can make yourself as dry as mud and stone, let alone using witchcraft now.

The hidden figure in the air in front of him had unknown strength, but he was obviously not aware of his presence.

‘Could this be the person carrying the treasure identified by Anandu’s Dice? ’

The Sunless Forest is inaccessible and there are not many Warcraft left in recent years. Basically no wizards come here.

It only took ten minutes from the time Anando's dice revealed the location to when he arrived here. In such a short time... the probability of meeting the second person was obviously not high.

Colin thought to himself.

The hidden wizard in front of him probably came to the sea of ​​trees because of the sudden explosion in the distance.

Just as he was thinking, the bright light of the distant explosion gradually dissipated, and the sky returned to a dark background.

Colin's thoughts couldn't help but shift from the unknown figure in front of him to the sudden explosion.

The bright light of the explosion came first and dissipated first, but the breeze stirred up by those shock waves was still blowing at this moment.

Compared to the unknown wizard in front of him, it is obvious that the unknown explosion in the distance may have a greater impact.

Another moment passed.

Colin's skin trembled slightly, and he was keenly aware of the sudden movement of the air next to him.

‘Are you leaving? ’

The wizard next to him began to move very quickly.

Colin's heart trembled. With such speed, this hidden wizard was at least a second-level advanced level.

But unlike what he imagined, the hidden wizard did not return to the lightless forest, but flew away into the distance.

As the distance grew farther and farther, the perception became more and more blurred, and the wizard's figure was almost disappearing.

Colin hesitated for a moment whether to follow, but finally decided not to cause any trouble.

It's just a treasure, and it's not an advanced meditation method, so he doesn't lack it.

After blessing himself with flying witchcraft, Colin returned towards the Golden Wheat Ear.

After advancing to the second-level knight, perhaps because of his own flying ability, he is now much faster than before using flame diving.

At least, it was still faster than the wizard who left before.

By the same token, the speed during diving may be the same.

Just as Colin was carefully feeling his own changes, he was suddenly startled. He subconsciously slowed down and looked ahead.

‘Such a coincidence? ’

There seems to be nothing in front of you, but there is clearly a surge of air!

Colin didn't expect to meet the hidden wizard who left before him again.

Although they only flew for a moment, according to the flying speed of their second-level wizards, the distance traveled was already considerable.

The sky is vast, and to be able to encounter it again by such a coincidence can only mean one thing -

This hidden wizard is heading in the same direction as him!

Or... Colin also had a shocking suspicion in his mind - could this wizard... be the same destination as he was heading to?

With his eyes flickering, Colin dispelled the flying witchcraft, and relied on the power of the knight to quietly follow behind the hidden wizard.

As time passed, and looking at the familiar scene below him, Colin's thoughts became more and more turbulent. He said he was following him, but in fact he just slowed down a little - until now, the flight path was the same as his original return to Jinmai. Sui's path makes no difference at all!

After a while, the figure of Golden Wheat Sui emerged under the moonlight.

This most prosperous city in the Loen Kingdom is still shining with many lights at this moment, and it looks like a sea of ​​stars under the night sky.

But what concerned Colin more than the sea of ​​​​stars in front of him was that the hidden wizard began to slow down his flying speed.

After a while, Colin came to the most familiar area and watched the hidden wizard fly quietly into the White Tower.

Colin stopped not far from the White Tower, his expression still a little shocked.

'It turned out to be Wizard Erwin...'

With second-level strength and the White Tower, the true identity of the hidden wizard is self-evident. It is obviously Erwin Runn, the only second-level wizard in the Rune Kingdom!

‘But…why is Wizard Erwin going to the Lightless Forest so late at night? ’

As the mystery was revealed, new doubts came, and Colin couldn't help but frown.

At the same time, he also remembered another thing - the White Tower appeared in the positions given when using Anandu's Dice in the past two years.

It's not surprising that Wizard Irvine possesses some kind of treasure...

But it was a bit puzzling to quietly go to the lightless forest in this late night.

Colin looked at the white tower in front of him, but after all, he still didn't move forward.

Previously, Irvine could not detect his presence in the open environment, but if he arrived in the wizard's tower, it would not necessarily be the case again.

The risk was too high... Colin suppressed his curiosity and quietly returned home.

………………

"How to unlock the secret of our ancestors?"

On the third floor of the White Tower, Erwin walked into the meditation room with a gloomy expression.

Nothing was found again tonight... Could it be that the Luen family could only decline like this?

He stood quietly in the center of the meditation room, his body slightly stooped, and the skin on his face was loose and wrinkled.

Worry was everywhere like glue mixed in the air, wrapping Erwin in it and almost suffocating him.

Ding.

Erwin took out the golden token that Huntington gave him today and rubbed it gently.

This is a pendant, the irregular rhombus shape is the symbol of the Ishtar school.

If such a small pendant were placed on the black market... No, such a pendant would not be circulated on the black market at all!

Irvine shook his head.

The opportunity to join the Ishtar School is already precious, not to mention that this highest-level pendant represents joining without taking the test.

Even if you don't have wizard qualifications, as long as you have this pendant, you can ask a wizard from the Ishtar School to transplant it.

Of course, in that case, the other benefits brought by the pendant will also be weakened accordingly...

Erwin's old face was hesitant.

His lifespan is short, only fifty years at most.

The strongest wizard in the family besides him is only an intermediate level one, and his qualifications are average. Even with the current resources, it would be a fluke to break through the second level within a hundred years.

But when he dies, the Loen family will no longer be able to control the golden ears of Neustadt in front of them, and the resources they can obtain will undoubtedly be greatly reduced...

It is very likely that the Luen family will gradually decline and become humble from now on.

If a suitable young man from the family is allowed to join the Ishtar School... No, this is not a path that can be taken unless absolutely necessary!

A trace of determination flashed in Erwin's eyes.

If he joins the Ishtar School, will the Loen family still exist?

I'm afraid there will only be the Roen family of Istar...

After carefully putting away Istar's golden token, Irvine's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the explosion he had witnessed in the Lightless Forest.

A touch of uneasiness enveloped him.

You must know that although the distance of the field explosion is far away visually, the actual distance is not far for a wizard.

If the culprit who caused the explosion wanted to come to the Loen Kingdom, it would only take a short while.

Putting aside his worries about the family's future for the time being, Erwen's mind was gradually occupied by the more urgent anomalies before him.

After thinking about it, he walked towards the top of the White Tower, preparing to report the matter to Neustadt to see if he could get some useful information, and at the same time, he ordered the wizards in the kingdom to be alert.

………………

"Wizard Irvine ordered that all the resident wizards immediately go to the Wizard Tower to be on guard."

So when Colin returned home, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, before he could sort out what he had seen tonight, an order came.

When he arrived at the South Tower, Wilbur had already arrived, standing alone by the sofa in the corner of the hall, looking a little panicked.

Seeing Colin arriving, his eyes brightened:

"Sir Colin, are you taking refuge here too?"

Colin was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Wilbur might have seen the horror of the explosion, so he subconsciously came to the safest wizard tower area in the entire Loen Kingdom.

Shaking his head, Colin walked to the sofa and sat down: "Your Majesty Erwin's order, instruct the resident wizard to come to the wizard tower to guard."

"Did Sir Erwin tell you what happened?" Wilbur still looked a little uneasy.

With only first-level strength, he felt the explosion more deeply than Colin - it was like a bomb suddenly exploded next to his ears. Although he was fine, he was subconsciously panicked and worried about whether there would be another bomb dropped. The fear has overflowed in my mind.

"No." Colin shook his head, "I'm afraid Mr. Erwin doesn't know what's going on."

Wilbur anxiously circled around the sofa several times, looking out the window from time to time, his expression tense, worried about whether there would be a new explosion.

But one night passed, after the first explosion, nothing happened again.

The sudden explosion was like a meteor streaking across the sky, so brief that people unconsciously thought it was an illusion.

But it was not an illusion after all.

When dawn broke, the wizards stationed subconsciously gathered together.

Before Colin could make any inquiries, various speculations and news had already sprung up.

Some say followers of the god were discovered on Mount Patta and a fierce battle broke out.

Some people say that the ancient monsters sleeping in the mountains were awakened and venting their anger.

Others said that it was just some new wonder that appeared, which was a natural phenomenon, but the movement was slightly louder...

Some of these guesses are quite convincing, with vivid details. But more often than not, you’ll know it’s fake as soon as you hear it.

Colin couldn't tell.

But the only thing that can be determined is the location where the explosion occurred-Mountain Patta.

Pata Mountain is a small mountain range, close to the Kingdom of Kiran - I heard that many civilians in the Kingdom of Kiran died accidentally due to the aftermath of the explosion last night.

And this hill, which was originally not big, could not be said to have turned into a basin after last night, but it could no longer be called a mountain.

Colin was not only a little emotional and shocked.

His current strength is not weak. It would be easy to destroy a hundred-meter stone mountain, but it is still a bit difficult to completely change the appearance of a thousand-meter mountain - at least it cannot be done overnight.

The changes in Pata Mountain's landform also made Colin more certain that the intensity of last night's explosion was at least in the third-level category.

But the exact reason is still unknown.

This mystery was not officially revealed by Wizard Irvine until 10 noon.

He summoned all the wizards to the White Tower Hall.

Coming here again after a day, Colin couldn't help but feel like time was repeating itself.

"I believe you all heard or saw the huge explosion last night." Wizard Irvine looked around at the wizards in front of him and spoke slowly.

The wizards nodded one after another, and Erwin did not show off and continued:

"I got the latest news from Neustadt. The reason for the explosion last night was because of a battle——

A battle to capture the Frost Phantom. "

‘Frost Phantom? ! ’ Colin was stunned for a moment, and the other wizards were not much better. They all looked shocked and whispered among themselves.

"Isn't that the monster we just mentioned yesterday?"

"I didn't expect it to be near us!"

"That's right, it's the Frost Phantom that the wizards from the law enforcement team mentioned yesterday." Irvine raised his hand to suppress the voices of the wizards.

"The cunning Frost Phantom was finally discovered by the law enforcement team led by Wizard Rayleigh in the Pata Mountains last night.

A battle broke out between the two sides, but unexpectedly, the strength displayed by Frost Phantom far exceeded the level it had shown in the past..."

"So what's the result of the battle?" a wizard asked anxiously.

Irwin paused, but was not angry, and said: "The Frost Phantom finally blew himself up - the explosion he saw last night was caused by this, and the third-level wizard Rayleigh who fought with him was seriously injured in the end, and the other two people involved in the battle were seriously injured. The second-level wizard suffered two deaths and five serious injuries."

When the wizards in the audience heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the casualties were serious, fortunately the Frost Phantom self-destructed and died, so there was no need to worry about suddenly coming to the Kingdom of Loen one day.

"Don't be too happy too early." However, Irvine on the stage sighed and finally added:

"Congressman Noyce went to the Pata Mountains today to investigate, but when he came back he brought bad news - the Frost Phantom is probably not dead, but just escaped by self-destructing."

Before the wizards in the audience could react, Irvine continued to add:

"But the good news is that after this self-destruction, the Frost Phantom has lost its strength, and the law enforcement team is continuing to search for its traces... so you don't have to worry too much.

However, just in case, I will strictly check the duty in the next few days. I hope that everyone will come to the police on time according to the regulations. "

"In addition, I also plan to separate three three-person teams to patrol the kingdom throughout the day. The specific arrangements will be notified later..."

Wizard Erwin's voice was calm and soothing, but Colin understood——

The comfortable days he originally enjoyed in the Loen Kingdom may have to leave him temporarily.
