City center location.
After the war, there were very few intact buildings left in the city, but there happened to be one here.
Inside the building, a meeting was going on. What was being discussed was very confidential - and this in itself revealed some information.
After a while, the meeting ended and people walked out one by one.
Outside the building, the righteous girl Nelide and the cat slave girl Heidi were standing. When they saw a familiar person, they quickly went up to them. Each of them grabbed an arm and said loudly: "Teacher, what are you talking about in the meeting?"
Circe, the witch with a mysterious temperament, frowned deeply at this time. After listening to the words of the two students, he sighed and replied: "Oh, it's something bad. I thought it would be delayed for a while, and the situation in Deep Blue Castle We won’t wait until everyone is wiped out, but it’s about to start now.”
"But it doesn't matter." Circe's tone changed, "I'm ready to take you two away. You go and clean up now... Forget it, no need, just follow me now and leave here." After that, After saying that, Circe took Heidi and Nerid and walked out of the city.
Heidi looked at Circe's face and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Aren't most of the enemies already eliminated? Are you still afraid that they will come back?"
"A comeback? We don't rule out this possibility, but the possibility is very low." Circe sighed and explained, "The most important thing is that because Deep Blue Castle has been defeated, the entire east coast will have to be re-divided.
Originally, according to what was discussed at the previous Revenge Exchange Conference, the divisions were almost complete and there was no conflict. But we never expected that the decisive battle would cause such heavy losses. If it weren't for the unknown strong man's action, we might not have survived.
In this way, the situation is different from what was expected. After all, when an enemy attacks, they won't be able to tell which organization they belong to. Naturally, some wizard organizations have suffered heavy losses and their strength has plummeted, while others have suffered relatively minor losses and retained a certain level of strength.
The latter will want more benefits and even rob them from the former. The former will never agree. At least there will be friction, and at worst, a fight will break out.
Originally, I thought that these dirty things would have to wait until all the remaining forces of Deep Blue Castle were eliminated and all the escaping enemies were eliminated. But now some people can't help it anymore, and they just discussed this matter in the meeting. Alas, the reason why I joined the Green Wind Gathering Place is that I don’t want to participate in this kind of fight and just want to live a quiet life. After doing this, I had no choice but to leave. Okay, let's go. "
"Oh." Heidi and Nelide nodded.
…
What Circe did was right and her departure was timely.
As soon as she left with the two girls, that night, friction broke out among several wizarding organizations in the city. If it hadn't been suppressed in time, I don't know how chaotic the scene would have become.
But even if they are suppressed, many people still have various little thoughts. After some discussion, the current main purpose is to eliminate the remaining forces of Deep Blue Castle, kill all the enemies who escaped, and prevent the other party from counterattack.
But when doing this, people are becoming more and more perfunctory and focus more on quietly competing for benefits. This also allowed the already vulnerable remnant forces of Deep Blue Castle, under the leadership of some die-hard elements and through careful planning, to successfully cause many troubles to the pursuing wizards of the Revenge Alliance and cause a lot of casualties.
Of course, among the remaining forces of Deep Blue Castle, there are also many wizards who are not very loyal to Deep Blue Castle. After Sig Adolf died, they did not know that their lives were less than a month, and they were still running away desperately, trying to escape to a remote place, remain anonymous, and survive.
…
dark night.
There is an inconspicuous cave in a mountain range hundreds of miles west of Shenlan Castle.
A bonfire was burning in the cave, and a tall and thin fugitive wizard from Deep Blue Castle was sitting cross-legged next to it. The tall and thin wizard looked very embarrassed at this time, his clothes were in tatters, and some places were stained with blood. His face was pale, his whole body exuded a sour smell, and he hadn't eaten or bathed for an unknown number of days. He looked no better than a beggar.
However, this tall and thin fugitive wizard from Deep Blue Castle had sharp eyes. He was squinting at the bonfire, wondering what he was planning.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Suddenly there were slight footsteps coming from the direction of the cave entrance.
The tall and thin wizard looked sharply and raised his hand. An emerald green staff appeared in his hand, ready to cast spells at any time.
Then a person walked in. He was a slender wizard. He was as embarrassed as a tall and thin male wizard. There were scars on his face. He gasped slightly and said, "It's me, don't do anything!"
"Huh-" The tall and thin male wizard breathed a sigh of relief, put away his short staff, looked at the wizard, and asked, "Ellie, how are you? How is the situation?"
"I checked it out. It should be safe around here. Those dog-like wizards didn't chase us here." The wizard said.
"That's good." The male wizard nodded.
"Gabe, let me tell you, let's turn from here and go to the north." The wizard walked to the bonfire, sat down not far from the wizard, and thought, "I saw, they are in the north The number of people arranging it should be minimal, and we have every chance to pass through it, then get on the ship from the port and go to the main continent."
The male wizard named Gabe glanced at the wizard named Ellie and said calmly: "If you want to die, then do this."
"What?" Witch Ellie frowned.
The male wizard Gabe explained: "It is true that they have fewer people in the north, but a little further north are the lairs of several wizard organizations such as Rotten Swamp, White Mist City, Black Castle, and Rose City. It is easy to enter, but difficult to get out. .If you dare to go north, you will definitely die if your identity is exposed!
Besides, even if we can safely pass through the lair of these wizard organizations, we cannot go to the main continent. You and I are just first-level wizards, and we were lucky enough to save our lives this time. I have heard that the main continent is much more dangerous than the east coast. If we go there, we will be like wizard apprentices, with no ability to protect ourselves at all. We may be killed if we encounter any trouble. "
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"I say, go to the east."
"East? Back to Deep Blue Castle?"
"Of course not to go back to Deep Blue Castle, but to find an opportunity to make a big circle and go out to sea to leave the east coast. Then find an island to hide, such as Lisbon Island, or the farther Smans Island. Unless the other wizards on the east coast The organization is really crazy, otherwise it would be impossible to find a place that would be enough to guarantee our safety.
And there, we won't meet powerful wizards, and we are fully capable of controlling a small country. We won't have to get anything we ask for, which is much better than going to the main continent. "The male wizard said seriously.
Witch Ellie's eyes flashed after hearing this, and she said with some yearning: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
As soon as he finished speaking, there were sudden footsteps at the door of the cave.
