In the blink of an eye, a few days later.
In the past few days, there was no news about the death of the wizard apprentice. It was as if the tragedy at night had never happened at all, and everything was so peaceful.
However, many students are not stupid. Even if they are not recognized, there are usually nearly ten wizard apprentices to maintain order. Now the number has been reduced by nearly half. It seems that there is a problem no matter how you look at it. Various versions of rumors were spread privately, and an atmosphere of fear and worry that could not be dispelled spread throughout the giant ship.
In response, four wizards had no choice but to come forward and reassure the students to ease the atmosphere. But looking at it from a certain angle, this actually shows that the four wizards are in a state of distress.
In the next few days, the wizard personally kept vigil to ensure the safety of the giant ship. But this safety is only superficial. In Richard's view, as long as the root cause is not solved, the next time the murderer takes action, it is likely that the entire situation of the giant wheel will completely change.
Time passed like this day by day.
…
Four nights later.
In the cabin on the deck, many candles were lit and the light was extremely bright. Four wizards sat on high-backed chairs around a long table. They were silent for a long time, and no one spoke.
After a long time, the wizard Sif broke the silence and asked: "How to solve the current situation? We can't wait like this forever, right? Who knows what the person hiding in the dark wants to do? "
"The question is, what can we do if we don't wait any longer." Wizard Louis said, "The other party is like an extremely timid mouse, refusing to show up at all. Even if we want to catch the other party, we can't take action. Damn it!
As for me, since we have taken turns keeping vigil these past few days to prevent the other party from appearing again, we might as well keep it like this. After arriving at the White Stone Tower, nothing happened. I don't believe it. If the other party dares to go to the White Stone Tower, someone will deal with him! "
At the end of the sentence, Lewis’s voice was filled with murderous intent.
"Hmph, that's easy to say." As soon as Lewis finished speaking, wizard Quinton spoke up, curling his lips with a bit of dissatisfaction, "You are not a dead wizard apprentice, so naturally you are willing to continue like this."
"What are you talking about, Quinton!" Lewis looked at Quinton, "Why didn't I kill the wizard apprentice? Darnell is my student! A direct student!"
"Oh, he was just a second-level wizard apprentice. If we catch a lot of the same people in the White Stone Tower, is it a pity if one of them dies?" Quinton said with a cold face, "I was a third-level apprentice who died. , two third-level apprentices! They are all my direct students who have put a lot of effort into training!
Among them, Parker's qualifications may not be very good, but his character is very mature, which means I don't want him to take the path of medicine, otherwise he would have broken through and become a wizard long ago. Not to mention Shirley, although her personality is a bit too lively, she is very smart. Even extremely difficult spells can be learned quickly. If you become a wizard, your achievements may exceed mine.
And now, the two of them, the students I spent a lot of energy training, are just dead! Your Darnell is just a student you picked up by chance. He has only been with you for a few months. Have you given anything? There is no way to compare with me!
Huh, I really don’t understand why you always go so far and find students with particularly good qualifications. Darnell aside, Nancy is also on your ship this time. It's just a pity that the other party has a higher level of vision and does not agree to your solicitation, otherwise you might have to show off how awesome you are again. In fact, you know best that it’s not you who is great at all, it’s just your luck. Humph, luck! "
The relationship between the four wizards is not monolithic, and it can even be said that the relationship is not very good. Normally, there is nothing wrong with it, but once something related to interests comes up, they will fall out.
At this time, Quinton scolded Louis unceremoniously, making Louis' face look very ugly.
But Quinton didn't stop. Finally, he looked at Louis fiercely and expressed his attitude: "No matter what, I absolutely disagree with going back like this. First of all, I don't think luck is on our side. It's ridiculous to simply believe in luck." Extremely.
Since the rat hidden in the cabin keeps killing people, there is no chance that it will attack again in the future, so it must be dealt with. In addition, my two students must not die in vain, I want them to pay the price! "
"Well, you go find the murderer." Lewis didn't accept his anger for nothing. His eyes flashed and he looked at Quinton and sneered, "You are the best. I hope you can be stronger than the four of us together.
The four of us haven't found each other yet. As soon as you take action, well, you might be able to find traces of each other right away. At that time, you can use your powerful spells to kill the opponent instantly and relieve your hatred. "
"You..." Quinton stared at Lewis and wanted to fight back.
At this moment, Dempsey, who was sitting in the high-backed chair to the north, knocked hard on the table with a sullen face, making a "bang bang bang" sound, which silenced the entire cabin and made all three people look at him.
Dempsey opened his mouth and said seriously: "Can you all say a few words less?! Isn't it chaotic enough?! The enemy's strength has not yet been determined. Whether he can defeat the opponent is hard to say. I just think about it. Fighting? Is it too early
Quinton, I know that you suffered a big loss this time, with the death of two carefully trained wizard apprentices, but I can make the decision. As long as I return to the White Stone Tower, I can give you priority in selecting students with outstanding qualifications as compensation. As for Louis and Silver, you can compensate for your losses.
In fact, the damage has already been done, and we can only try to recover it as much as possible. The important thing now is to understand the situation we are in! "
"boom!"
Dempsey knocked on the table again and his tone became higher: "The current situation is that the other party is obviously coming for us. Sif lost a third-level apprentice in Cuijin City, and it was probably the other party who did it. And the other party is now following On the giant ship, people are killing people.
Must find each other! must!
If we can't find the other party, we will always be in danger, and no one knows what the other party will do. The first ones who died were sailors, then ordinary students, and then some of your wizard apprentices.
Then, they might take action against us wizards!
You still can’t understand, can’t you understand! This is a naked provocation from the other party! If you still want to fight among yourself, then come to me and I will satisfy your hands-on needs! "
"This..." The other three wizards were silent, thinking carefully about Dempsey's words.
At this moment, a burst of gentle applause sounded from the corner of the cabin.
"Bah bang bang!"
The bodies of the four wizards in the cabin, including Demps, were slightly shaken. The surprised look on his face flashed away, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and they all turned to look at the place where the sound came from in the corner. Then he suddenly stood up from his chair and assumed a fighting stance.
I saw a man in a black robe quietly appearing in the corner. He was leaning against the cabin wall and applauding.
"Bah bang bang!"
While the other party was applauding, he slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes burning with green flames. Then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a strange smile.
