Chapter 618 Part 2: Others
Walking along the corridor, Miley saw fewer people near them. So she asked, "Are you shocked?"
Victoria\'s eyes were dimmed. But she nodded her head.
"Sigh"
A sigh escaped from Miley\'s mouth.
"I guess your friend is not easy. He can attract kill orders from our academy. Then he must be talented," Miley said.
Hearing that Victoria felt something struck in her mouth. She knows Vincent\'s talent more than anyone.
She still remembers the school days\' memories in her mind. Vincent Carey was admitted to a different class. After awakening, he was transferred to A level class.
Then after a month or two, he joined their A1 class. Which was the top class of the academy. She remembers Vincent was ridiculed by Frank Lambert because of his mediocre talent.
"What are you thinking?"
Miley\'s words poured cold water on her. Her thoughts returned to reality. Victoria took some seconds, before saying, "I\'m wondering who will accept the mission."
Miley\'s eyes flickered.
"Well, there are a lot of wizards who have a grudge against the Yellow River Academy. They won\'t let go of this opportunity," Miley replied.
Victoria remained silent. But her mind was not calm at all. It\'s a pity that she didn\'t have contact information for Vincent.
Otherwise, she would give him a warning.
Miley saw through her thoughts.
"Don\'t think about warning him," Miley said.
"What?"Victoria raised her eyebrows in surprise. Looking around, she saw no one walking beside them.
"How did you know?" She asked back then.
Miley sighed inwardly.
"I know you are good at heart. But the relationship between the 3 academies is not simple."
"If you help him, then you will be isolated in our Academy. And do you think your friend\'s academy won\'t give him any protection?"
"That\'s why the mission is rated as high difficulty," Miley said.
Victoria understood her mistakes.
Now Vincent\'s strength is stronger than her. She has to worry about her promotion next. Instead of Vincent.
By that time, they had already reached their dormitory.
...
From MC\'s perspective:
Crown Forest,
Not long after, the exploration team received an emergency message from the academy. Not only the leaders but the rest of the 25 wizards received messages at the same time.
Right now, they arrived closer to the ancient site.
After reading the message.
Gasp~
The wizards exclaimed in disbelief.
"The investigation team was wiped out!"
"Who could be?"
"Who dared to do this?"
The level-6 wizards started to speak one after another. They are completely terrified. Because one of the dead was a level-7 wizard of their academy.
Most importantly the location of their death was the ruin site. The whole team stopped moving for a moment.
Everyone\'s expression turned ugly including the level-7 wizards. The 5 level-7 wizards knew the seriousness of this matter.
Unlike the team members, they knew the importance of the message. The elders wanted them to watch out for the danger.
At the same time, they have to complete the exploration mission as well.
"Let\'s go. We can\'t let others know about the ancient site. Since 5 of us are here. We can handle any danger," A heavily built level-7 wizard said to others.
Hearing that the level-6 wizards are unwilling. Even the level-7 died. If anything goes wrong, they would be reduced to cannon fodder.
Especially in this dangerous situation, the words of the level-7 wizard make them more afraid. Some level-6 wizards wanted to go back.
But their actions and thoughts are seen through by the Senior Wizards.
"If anyone wants to leave, then it\'s impossible. Don\'t forget the elder\'s instructions. The authorities are already suspecting us."
"If anyone goes out, it will make them investigate. If the news leaks out, then you should forget about your and your family\'s safety" A mature-looking woman gave a warning to others.
Gasp~
Hearing that level-6 wizard sucked a cold breath of air. They are now acting like weak chickens. Even the low-level wizards would be better than them.
The fear of death shrouded everyone. Apart from the burly man and the mature woman. The other level-7 wizards are unwilling to talk.
Shortly after, the wizards started moving towards the destination.
20 minutes later,
The team arrived at the ancient site. Then they started to investigate the surroundings as well. Especially after the elders\' warning. The team took it seriously.
The level-7 wizards do not shy away from taking out their artifacts for protection.
One hour later,
The team didn\'t find any abnormalities in this place. They also saw the rotten corpse of the Crystalline Snake Monster. But it was killed by the wizards before them.
"Let\'s find the hidden passage," The mature woman said.
I heard that others followed as well. Soon the team reached the center of the ancient site. Looking at the wide opening, everyone hesitated for a moment.
But some others have their calculations in their mind. Only after completing the mission, can they get resources for future promotion.
Then the mature women entered the hidden passage followed by others. Suddenly, the burly man said, "I think 2 teams should stay outside to watch."
Hearing that the mature women agreed as well. So 12 wizards stood outside. And the rest of them followed the hidden passage to explore.
An hour later,
The team encountered the unknown metal room. Like the previous team, they also started inspecting the place.
After finding there was nothing here. The level-7 wizards then started to go further into the hidden tunnel.
So far they didn\'t come across any danger. But still, the elders\' warning lingered in everyone\'s mind.
Walking, the team comes across small centipede-type monster corpses. Looking at corpses, the team couldn\'t help but think of the previous team.
The mature woman\'s eyes flickered. She is carefully spreading her mental power to look for any changes.
But so far everything was fine. So she is leading the team forward. While others are using their means to find out the danger.
Meanwhile, the level-6 wizards are following them quietly. Seeing that Senior wizards are moving fast. They hurried their footsteps as well.
