Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 425 - 164 four-person group_3

Anglie looked at the young man who had appeared before him, his expression full of surprise. "How could you be here?"

They had discovered the ruins by chance, and judging from the surroundings, no outsiders had been there.

Now, just as they had begun their exploration, they were ambushed. What’s more, the attacker was someone they knew.

There was a traitor!

A thought crossed Anglie’s mind, and he subconsciously glanced at his three companions, especially Gerry, who had joined the team recently.

"It wasn’t me!" Gerry clenched his teeth. "I never mentioned the ruins to anyone else."

"HAHA..." Hall laughed. "I originally thought it was just a joke. Who would have thought there was actually an undiscovered ruin here."

"Ash, I owe you for this!"

Ash?

Anglie’s expression changed drastically. Lu Ya and Gerry hurriedly retreated, isolating Ash from them.

"It wasn’t me!" Ash’s face turned pale as he yelled at Hall, "I haven’t seen you at all recently!"

"I believe you," Anglie said in a muffled voice. "We’ve adventured together for so many years; I don’t believe any of us would betray the others. Don’t fall for his trick."

"Big brother!" Ash said excitedly, then glared at Hall. "Bastard, how the hell did you find this place?"

"TSK TSK..." The young man named Hall shook his head, an emotional look on his face. "Such deep camaraderie, trusting each other even now. But Ash... your taste in choosing a wife isn’t as good as your taste in choosing friends."

"Lina?" Ash’s face stiffened.

"Yes," Hall said, strolling out leisurely with his hands clasped behind his back. "Your beloved wife told me this secret in my bed. I initially thought it was a joke... Who would have imagined!"

"Ash!" He looked at Ash, his expression sincere. "I really should thank you. Not only did you raise my son for all these years, but you also told me such a big secret. When I become an Official Wizard and the pillar of my family, I will certainly commemorate you."

"Son?" Ash’s body shook, his face turned deathly pale, and his eyes filled with despair.

"Of course!" Hall shrugged. "Neither you nor Lina possess Wizard Talent, so the probability of having a son with Wizard Talent is extremely low."

"But I am different. My ancestors produced Three-Circle Wizards, and we possess a strong Bloodline. Even though this Bloodline is now diluted, the possibility of having a son with Wizard Talent is still very high."

"Ash!" Anglie called out in a low voice. "Don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s deliberately provoking you."

"Deliberately?" Hall laughed. "Ash, you should know very well whether I’m telling the truth or not. It’s a pity you’ve always been too blind to see it."

Ash clenched his teeth tightly.

Of course, he knew!

His wife’s impatience whenever she faced him, the inconsistencies in his son’s appearance, and various other unusual details from their life now flooded his mind.

He had thought he wasn’t doing enough, so he’d worked hard at cultivating and earning money, all to improve his family’s situation and his relationship with his wife.

To earn Magic Stones for his son’s future cultivation, he hunted fierce beasts with Anglie and even took on odd jobs to support his family.

To reassure his wife, he had even told her about the ruins, wanting her to understand that they were about to strike it rich and their family would no longer have to suffer.

But in the end...

"AH!" Unwillingness, anger, and despair surged in his heart. Ash roared at the sky and charged towards Hall with his knife.

"Die!"

"Just die!"

"HMPH!" Hall looked disdainful and waved his hand. "Kill him!"

"SWOOSH!" The moment his words fell, several Wizard Apprentices around him attacked in unison, unleashing streams of witchcraft light.

In a mere instant, Ash, who possessed a defensive Witch Artifact and wore sturdy soft armor, was pierced through and riddled with holes.

His body stiffened, his life force extinguished. Still glaring at Hall, he mustered all his strength to roar, "Let’s die together!"

"BOOM!"

Ash’s body suddenly exploded. A rich life force burst forth, also agitating the wandering spirits in the ruins.

"Damn!" Hall’s expression changed.

For some unknown reason, numerous spirits haunted the area around the ruins, some even capable of threatening an Official Wizard.

Fortunately, the spirits lacked intelligence and merely wandered nearby according to instinct. However, they would rapidly converge if attracted by life force.

Indeed.

"WOO..." Accompanied by the whistling yin wind, shadowy figures appeared one after another, lunging at Ash’s corpse to devour the dispersing life energy.

However, too many spirits swarmed in, and the available life energy was limited. Naturally, the other spirits turned their attention to the living people present.

"Go!" Anglie suppressed the sorrow in his eyes and gestured to the two women. "Now’s our chance, let’s go!"

The connection broke off, and Carl shook his head lightly.

Due to Hall’s intervention, Anglie and his two companions could only flee deeper into the ruins. Their outcome was likely grim.

When the person who signed the contract is injured, it causes the connection to the Divine Domain Fragment to sever...

That guy named Ash really had it rough!

It looks like my hundred Magic Stones are most likely down the drain.
