two months later.
Before dawn in the morning, the mist has not cleared.
A black carriage slowly drove out of Feidenan City amidst the sound of rattles.
The tall buildings were quickly left behind. As the carriage continued to move forward, a large amount of farmland began to appear on both sides of the road. In the depths of the fog in the distance, scattered farmhouses and the outlines of small villages could be vaguely seen.
Since the sun has not yet risen, it is easy to damage the expensive carriage when going out in such weather, so there are not many pedestrians on this road to and from Feidenan City. Especially when they left Feidenan City for more than ten miles, human buildings gradually became scarce, and tall trees became more and more dense.
Greem lifted the curtains, and the moist water vapor fell on his face, a little cool and a little cold.
It was only ten miles out of the city, and the woods on both sides of the road already had a hint of virgin forest. This also made him imagine how difficult it was for humans, led by wizards, to carve out patches of settlements in the primeval forest a few years ago, and how difficult it was to compete for land with different species of creatures...
In some early wizard notes and books, Greem often saw wizards acting as protectors of humans, assisting nobles in governing their territories, repelling the attacks of terrifying monsters, eliminating groups of ferocious beasts, and making human settlements become It's getting safer.
But those are very ancient things!
During the development of wizards in the past several thousand years, Greem could clearly see how wizards surpassed the noble class of human beings, began to surpass the entire ethnic group step by step, and then powerfully ruled the vast wizarding continent.
With the development of the wizard continent to this day, the status of wizards and nobles has undergone earth-shaking changes. The former human leader, now knelt down before the powerful wizards and became their agents and servants. And ordinary human beings are gradually moving away from the vision of wizards, and they have become a weak and humble low-level group in their mouths.
If it weren't for the high-level wizards to formulate strict rules, it is strictly forbidden for wizards to use humans on their own planes as experimental subjects, and it is not allowed to kill ordinary mortals on a large scale. Otherwise, everything that mortals have would have been plundered by wizards, and even oneself would inevitably become a guinea pig in an experiment or a poor slave who worked until death.
Just when Greem couldn't help thinking silently, the driver couldn't help turning his head.
"Master, this journey may be quite long, you should rest more!" The driver was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. However, under Greem's powerful elemental vision, what he saw was the goblin Kirby hiding under the camouflage technique with a flattering smile on his face.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Greem nodded slightly, and gently lowered the curtains.
"Hmph, what's the trouble?" Alice yawned sleepily, curled up on the side of the carriage, "That's what it should do! By the way, you are a relatively powerful wizard now, why don't you use your authority to rent a sou?" The giant eagle of Grates? In that case, we only need one day to reach Mota City!"
Feidnan City is the headquarters of the Sarubo family, which belongs to private territory and is not within the berthing schedule of the airship. Therefore, if they want to rush to the Silver Alliance area with the help of flying boats, they can only go to the public city Mota City 300 miles away.
"Anyway, we have plenty of time. It's good to walk slowly and see the customs and customs of the Sandi Tallinn area along the way." Greem smiled lightly.
Alice rubbed her eyes and got up, staring at Greem earnestly, as if she was looking at some monster.
"Okay, okay!" Seemingly aware that the reason just now was too far-fetched, Greem said helplessly: "A few days ago, before we set off, Taling warned me. It seemed to sense that someone was casting a prophecy on me. technique!"
"Prophecy?" Alice suddenly became excited: "You mean someone wants to deal with you?"
"We have enemies, are you excited?"
"Of course, otherwise, how boring the journey would be!"
"You never thought that since the enemy dared to plot against me, they would definitely take all factors into account. Are you not afraid of dying in the hands of the enemy?"
"Tsk tsk... You are not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Alice said with disdain on her face: "Since you have known the existence of the enemy for a long time, you will definitely make corresponding arrangements. Otherwise, with your character, how can you be willing to make a personal sacrifice?" A move to lure the enemy?"
"..."
...
at noon.
The black carriage slowly drove into a gray road in the forest.
This road full of pedestrians, business travelers, and horse-drawn carriages was extremely quiet at the moment. Horse-drawn carts and ox carts stopped in place, and all the humans and the cattle and horses pulling the carts were overturned and fell asleep. .
Seeing the abnormal situation in front of him, the goblin Kirby immediately reined in the two handsome white horses pulling the cart, and before they could turn around and warn the inside of the cart, a faint scent wafted into his nose. So in the next second, Kirby and the two white horses pulling the cart also fell down.
Greem raised the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and frowned as he looked around at the strange scene in front of him. A bright red film floated on the surface of his tall and mighty body, and it was this film that prevented Greem from being attacked by the strange potion in the air.
Greem's elemental vision is very clear. As soon as I was exposed to the outside of the carriage, the dry, cold and humid air in the forest rushed towards my face, and a stream of transparent powder mixed with it hit the red film one after another.
There was a soft sound.
Crimson flames emerged from the bright red film, incinerating all the incoming powder.
And in the carriage, Alice, who was excited about watching a good show just now, was already lying on the carriage board and sleeping soundly. After all, a wizard's methods are not something she, a quasi-wizard, can resist, even if she is the strongest quasi-wizard!
Three figures of different heights appeared in the forest on the right, their faces, faces and figures were all hidden in the thick cloak, silently watching Greem.
Greem hesitated for a moment, did not try to wake up Alice and Kirby, but simply arranged the equipment on his body, and followed the three mysterious wizards into the forest silently.
After walking for a mile in the noisy forest, they came to a clearing in the forest.
The forest here is sparse, and there is a water pool 200 meters ahead. Looking around, except for the tall whirling trees and the low and soft weeds, there is no trace of human figure, but it is also a good place to solve the hatred.
"You know why we're here, right?" a cloaked man with a slightly lower head asked in a low voice.
Hearing the voice, it should be a middle-aged man.
"Mafia Association?" A smile appeared on the corner of Greem's mouth.
The low cloaked man brushed off his hood, revealing a shriveled green face, coupled with a hooked nose and short messy green hair, he was not a human!
The president of the Black Hand Association, the only second-level wizard, the green dwarf Palo.
Being stared at by the other party's gloomy but substantial green pupils, Greem's heart felt like a heavy boulder was pressing on his heart, and even his breathing became difficult.
"Since your lord is the president of the Black Hand Association, you are not afraid of Mr. Sanaza looking for trouble for you if you are so vocal about intercepting and killing the official wizards of the Sarubo family?"
"If it was our Black Hand Association who shot you, we certainly cannot bear the anger of Lord Sanaza. But if the person who shot was not a member of our Black Hand Association, I am afraid that Lord Sanazar behind you would not be able to openly disobey the Sandi Tallinn. The laws of the Wizarding Association, go and persecute our Black Hand Association!" Paolo the green dwarf said coldly.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
"Master Palo's meaning is very simple..." The thinnest of the three of them suddenly took off his cloak, revealed his face, and said with a sinister smile, "Because it wasn't them who made the move, but us... us!"
This tall and thin man had a pale complexion, wrinkled skin, and a low and hoarse voice. But when he said the last sentence, his head suddenly turned 180 degrees, revealing a woman's face behind his head, and the voice of "him" also turned into a female voice at the same time.
This woman's face has her eyes closed tightly, with a weird smile on her face, and her speech is just like any other person's. And she... turned out not to be a mask or a painted face, but a completely real woman.
"Two-faced man, Kane!" Greem whispered.
Although he had only been a wizard for a short time, he had also made a comprehensive understanding and sorting out of the well-known wizards in the Sandi Tallinn area through the cramming during this period of time. Relying on the ultra-high efficiency of the chip, he already knows almost all the wizarding families, colleges, organizations and forces, well-known and unknown wizards in the entire Sandi Tallinn area.
As for the double-faced Kane in front of him, Palo the green dwarf did not lie. He does not belong to the Black Hand Association, but is a powerful wandering wizard.
Kane was born in an ordinary aristocratic family in the central part of the mainland. Since childhood, he and his twin sister were detected to be wizard talents, so they were sent to a small wizard academy to study. His experience was somewhat similar to that of Greem, he met an extremely terrifying evil wizard during his apprenticeship.
He and his twin sister are talented and have a very special spiritual communication, so they were picked up by an evil wizard and selected to do an extremely dangerous life fusion experiment.
So, the ending can be imagined.
The terrifying life fusion experiment fused the souls of their brother and sister together, sharing the same body, but with two faces on the front of the head and the back of the head. Two people have one body and two souls, using the same body in turn.
Relying on the sudden stimulation of soul power, the brother and sister were unexpectedly promoted to wizards. Also because of the chaotic soul fusion, the two of them escaped the control of the wizard unexpectedly.
With the power of two wizards at the same time, Kane and Lucy, the two-faced people who can also communicate with each other, immediately went on a killing spree, killing all 4 wizards and 27 wizard apprentices in that small wizarding academy in one go. Only then escaped.
Due to the confusion of the soul and the twisted personality, the double-faced wizard Kane has been wandering in the middle of the mainland, avoiding the pursuit of the Correction Department of the Wizards Association. However, ordinary wizard families have nothing to do with themselves, and they are not willing to easily provoke such a powerful wizard, so they let "he and she" hide without a trace for a long time.
But unexpectedly, the Mafia Association was willing to spend a lot of money to invite them out!
Greem smiled helplessly.
