Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 595 - 12: Investigation

The rebuilding of Vier Town is not a task to be completed overnight, so Viper Academy sent quite a few people to help.

One of them was the Advanced Wizard Apprentice, Sinier.

After distributing the potions and seeing that most tasks had been handled, he gave a few instructions and turned to walk towards a house at the back.

Pushing the door open.

He slowly approached a figure conducting an experiment and spoke in a low voice:

"Senior, I just saw Lynn."

"Lynn?" Angus raised his head, a look of confusion in his eyes. It took him a moment to recall the person associated with that name from his memory, then he chuckled and shook his head:

"He’s still alive?"

"Alive." Sinier lowered his head:

"Not only alive, but he seems to be doing quite well. Wizard Jito took a special interest in him and made an exception to accept him as a disciple. He is now an Official Apprentice of the academy."

"Hmm..."

"He is currently working with Natalie Witch."

"Crack!"

A glass container used for the experiment suddenly showed cracks, with the solution inside seeping out.

"This batch of materials is defective, it needs to be replaced."

Angus expressionlessly waved his hand, and the broken container and its contents were swept into the trash pile:

"Take care of this matter for me."

"Yes." Sinier lowered his head:

"Please be assured, I will handle it well."

......

Jeff wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath to calm his heartbeat, and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

"Creak..."

The strange sound of the turning door hinge lingered in his mind.

With a flattering smile, Jeff shuffled over to Sinier:

"Senior, did you call for me?"

These past years, he’s been doing well because he relies on the other party, engaging in transactions between the academy and Wild Wizards.

It can be said,

The other party holds all his strings, so naturally, he tries his best to please him.

"Hmm."

Sinier played casually with a gourd-shaped copper bottle in his hand and patted Jeff’s shoulder with a smile:

"You’ve been doing well lately, I presume?"

"Although the demon invasion was a bad thing, I heard you made quite a profit, completely renewing your outfit."

"All thanks to your care, Senior." Jeff forced a laugh:

"The corpses of demons are hard currency. I happen to have a few things I’d like you to help identify..."

"No need." Sinier waved his hand:

"Guess who I saw today?"

"Who?"

"Lynn."

"..." Jeff licked his lips and forced a smile:

"Senior, let me explain. I was planning to make a move against him, but the person I hired met with an accident."

"Heh..." Sinier raised an eyebrow:

"Who asked you to make a move against him?"

"Not make a move?" Jeff was taken aback but then came to his senses:

"I intended to contribute to Angus Senior, but unfortunately, Lynn was lucky and managed to escape."

"You’re bold enough to dare make a move against an academy disciple?" Sinier smiled and pointed at him.

"He wasn’t an official disciple of the academy back then." Jeff explained, his face suddenly changing:

"Senior, you’re not asking me to make a move now, are you?"

In the past, he dared to act because Lynn had been expelled from the academy; killing him wouldn’t matter to anyone.

But now,

he’s heard about Lynn.

Killing an official disciple of the academy is no small matter, even though he’s bold, his face turned pale.

"You’ve already made a move." Sinier tossed the copper bottle in his hand:

"Regretting now, won’t it be too late?"

"..." Jeff’s eyes were panic-stricken:

"Senior, Lynn is now an Intermediate Wizard Apprentice, and I suspect the Green Dog Brothers were also killed by him."

"I... I’m afraid I’m not his match."

"Don’t worry." Sinier patted his shoulder again, placing the copper bottle in his hand:

"I’ll help you."

"Also, Angus has already become an Official Wizard, only it hasn’t been announced yet, you understand."

Jeff’s eyes lit up.

In the past, the two top talents of Viper Academy, Angus and Natalie, are now both Official Wizards.

"Crack..."

Lynn stepped on the worn-out wooden planks, producing a crisp cracking sound, and frowned at the scene ahead.

This place was a ruin.

Originally a courtyard for washing clothes.

From the broken stone slabs and shattered ducts, it was evident that a large number of clothes needed washing here daily.

"The wizard’s robes need special methods for cleaning and repairing. Even for daily wear, they like to add fragrance and apply body-fitting witchcraft."

A man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit paced the scene, muttering to himself:

"So the business here was good, with dozens of women workers just for cleaning clothes."

"Miss Susan from Senior’s words was one of them."

Lynn nodded.

Since the Abyssal Demon invasion of Vier Town, almost a month had passed, and Susan had not shown up.

He went to Susan’s house, which was already destroyed, and the surviving neighbors hadn’t seen her.

So he asked the town’s enforcement team for help investigating.

Finally,

they tracked it to this place.

"Susan took at least three jobs to make a living, using witchcraft to clean clothes was just one of them."

Lynn said:

"Are you sure she disappeared from here last?"

"I’m certain." The man nodded:

"We have investigated other places. According to Miss Susan’s schedule at that time, she should have been here."

"Senior..."

After hesitating for a moment, the man spoke in a low voice:

"Miss Susan might have been harmed. During the demon invasion, many people got into trouble."

"No." Lynn shook his head:

"There’s no large area of blood here, nor the aura of death."

"That’s even worse." The man shrugged:

"Abyssal Demons also capture females to help them reproduce, which is more despairing than death."

Lynn turned towards him, his eyes icy cold.

"Sorry." The man’s face turned pale:

"I didn’t mean it like that... Actually, many Black Wizards also took advantage of the situation to abduct people. Maybe Miss Susan was taken by them."

Wizard Apprentices, in the eyes of some Black Wizards, are hard currency, necessary for witchcraft experiments.

In reality,

not just Wild Wizards.

Even the academy’s Wizards might need live subjects for experiments, though they usually entice others to cooperate with magic stones.

But there’s no lack of forced dealings in the dark, which as someone from the academy, he knows.

Whether she died in an accident, or was taken by demons or Wild Wizards, wouldn’t lead to a good ending.

But...

I still owe her a magic stone.

Lynn closed his eyes, relaxing his spirit and body.

At this point, his constitution was comparable to a Great Knight, and his spiritual power was growing daily, allowing him to have extremely sharp perception.

"Hmm..."

Opening his eyes, Lynn walked to a corner of the ruin, bent down, and picked up a tuft of blue fur from the ground.

"Let’s go!"

"Yes."

......

On the way back, Lynn lowered his eyes, examining the fur in his hand for a long time before sighing and putting it away.

In fact,

Susan’s fate was already known, he just didn’t want to admit it.

She was a gentle, kind girl...

"Swoosh!"

Lynn’s figure flashed, leaving an afterimage in the scene as his body appeared several meters away.

Where he had originally stood, a meter-long spike pierced through the afterimage, embedding into the solid ground.

In the air, water rippled, as a demon slowly emerged.

Not far off.

Jeff cowered in the corner of a wall, left hand holding a gourd-shaped copper bottle, right hand rubbing the bottle swiftly.

Reciting complex spells under his breath.

’The Two-Horned Demon is merely a low-tier demon from the Abyss, but still a formidable existence. Even a Legendary Knight might not take it down, and it has strong witchcraft resistance. Let’s see how you die today!’
