Chapter 68 -62: Farewell to Linus, Corpse Garden_2
Only Ronan stood alone in a corner, silently observing everything on the airship.
There were a total of five advanced apprentice trainees from the academy, and including Ronan, there were twenty-five wandering grey-robes here.
Reaching the level of advanced apprentice, these people could be considered the elites among the wandering wizards.
Among them, the most powerful was a level 9 apprentice, followed by four level 8s, and the rest were level 7 wizard apprentices like Ronan.
The magic airship glided through the clouds, passing over vast wilderness and forests, getting farther and farther away from towns.
At a certain moment, the official wizard Fa Ao gathered everyone and spoke soothingly: “Alright, there are some details about the mission I need to share with you all…”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
“…Our main goal for this trip is to destroy a magic potion resource point in the Silent Forest, which is located inside a small secret realm space.
We might encounter resistance from the black robes of the Silent Forest, but don’t worry, I will take care of any overt obstacles.
What you all need to do…
is just to destroy any magic potion resources you see…”
“Once the mission is complete, gather at the designated location, board the airship to return, and each person will be rewarded with a God Burning Potion.”
“I hope that when it’s time to return, everyone here will be safe and sound.”
Wizard Fa Ao’s tone was relaxed, even somewhat humorous, which also eased the tension among the apprentice wizards on the airship, who began to smile.
Ronan watched coldly from the sidelines; he would never believe that a mission that used God Burning Potion—extremely precious even to the academic wizards—as a reward, would be as easy and relaxed as Fa Ao described.
Everyone safe and sound at the return?
He was afraid that it would be a blessing if even half could make it back safely.
Afterwards, Fa Ao specially explained the meaning of “small secret realm space” to the group of wandering wizards.
Roughly speaking, it is an independent space opened up by powerful wizards of the Wizard World through space-related magic, with a principle somewhat similar to a waist storage bag.
Secret realm spaces are generally used for spell experiments, resource cultivation, living…
Some secret realm spaces are naturally formed, often containing many inconceivable things.
For academic wizards, the secret realm space is almost a common knowledge, but it astonished the wandering grey robes.
The magic airship landed in a hidden valley, and everyone disembarked following Fa Ao.
Ronan wasn’t sure how far the airship had flown, but it must have been very far from any towns.
Right opposite the landing site was an entrance to a tomb-like cave, with Fa Ao striding ahead and entering first.
The five young wizards from the academy followed closely behind, and then came Ronan’s group of wandering grey robes.
Ronan quietly observed along the way, noticing that Linus, among the five academic wizards, seemed particularly close to Fa Ao, as if he was highly favored.
For some reason, though, his personality didn’t seem like it should be endearing.
As he approached the entrance of the tomb, Ronan saw some stone slabs scattered on the ground, engraved with strange and unfamiliar characters.
Ronan couldn’t recognize them, but he heard someone murmuring in the team.
“What’s written on top?” someone read out the content above.
“Uh..
seems like…
Corpse…
Garden.”
…
The entire process of entering the secret realm space was not as bizarre as Ronan had imagined.
They just followed Fa Ao along a long corridor, walking for a long time.
It wasn’t until they emerged from the corridor that they found the sky outside was pitch black, in fact, they had already entered the so-called secret realm space.
“Split into teams of three and act separately.
Just like I said before, everyone just needs to destroy as many resources that you think might be helpful to the black robes…
that’s all.”
Fa Ao gave a few simple instructions, arranged everyone into teams, and then watched with a smile as each group left.
Up to this moment.
The mission felt exactly as Fa Ao said, without much demand or danger, everything would proceed smoothly, simply and easily.
“Remember to follow my commands later…”
Not long after they had split from the main group, the level 8 apprentice wizard with a slightly hooked nose asserted dominantly to Ronan and another person.
Ronan did not speak, but the young wizard Reiny in the same group was quite dissatisfied.
“Why?
It’s not decided that you have to lead!”
“Because my strength is stronger than both of yours.”
The hooked-nose wizard said with a cold smile: “I don’t want to fall into danger or lose my reward because of your stupid actions.
If you don’t want to, leave the team, and after the mission is over, I will report to Lord Fa Ao that someone deliberately obstructed…”
“You….”
Reiny’s fair and handsome face turned red in an instant, but after a few seconds, he could only swallow his anger and agreed to the rule of the hooked-nose wizard leading the team.
The latter scoffed and gave a disdainful glance at Ronan, who had been appearing very “cooperative,” before moving forward contentedly.
The air in this space was filled with dust and the scent of decay, as the three of them followed a grey brick path covered in dead vines, and soon arrived at a spacious cemetery.
Phosphorescent lights flickered all around, and the atmosphere gradually became gloomy and terrifying, as if the wails of spirits could be heard.
“Filthy place…”
The leading hooked-nose wizard frowned and muttered disdainfully, kicking away some bones underfoot, then carefully headed towards the nearest grave.
