Chapter 156 053: The apprentices with their own hidden agendas

“Hmm?”

Luo Xi put on his hood and wrapped his cloak tightly to enter stealth mode, then walked forward. Not far away when he came to a small square, the surrounding elements became obviously active, and a magic battle was going on in the square ahead.

On one side of the battle were three magic apprentices, who were the same three magic apprentices who had entered the manor with Luo Xi before.

On the other side are several huge alchemical puppets.

The necromancy apprentice Bafil stood in the middle of the square, with several illusory and transparent ghosts flying back and forth around him. In front of him stood a team of undead consisting of several zombies and undead, blocking the front line of the battle with the alchemical puppets.

It can be seen that Bafil has put a lot of effort into refining these undead servants. Both zombies and undead have reached the level of knights, but they are still more than one level lower than the alchemical puppets. In the battle between the two sides, Bafil was almost always suppressed by one side.

Seeing several undead servants falling down one after another, Bafil was obviously a little anxious, and asked with red eyes: "Nadal, is your magic not ready yet?"

Nadal was standing not far away, pulling a long magic circle to draw runes and magic pattern tracks on the ground, seemingly preparing some spell. Generally speaking, magic that requires the use of a magic circle is estimated to be of considerable power.

Facing Baffield's question, he said without even raising his head: "Hold on a little longer, I still need some time."

Rosie raised an eyebrow.

Although Nadal looked like he was trying very hard, in fact, the fluctuations of his mental power were very steady and slow, and he was obviously just paddling.

The same thing happened to Julia, the remaining female apprentice in the team. Compared to Nadal, she didn't even pretend. She just stood aside with her hands folded, looking like she was ready to run away at any time.

Baffield said anxiously: "Julia! Don't just watch, think of a solution!"

Julia ignored him and snorted coldly, saying back, "What can I do? All the knights I brought with me were killed in that damn garden. What did you say at that time?"

“No one helped me at that time!”

As she spoke, she simply waved her staff and summoned a few fireballs to throw at the alchemical puppet. This attack was completely inadequate in front of the powerful alchemical puppet.

Bafil said angrily: "Idiot!"

However, now was not the time to argue. Just when he was arguing with Julia, the long mechanical arm of an alchemical puppet swept fiercely at his undead servants, and two skeletons immediately broke into pieces.

Buffell's heart was bleeding.

Most of the strength of the necromancer wizard apprentice is basically in his necromancer servants. These necromancer servants were all refined at a huge cost. Each one of them can be said to be the result of his blood and sweat. Now they are lost here in vain. He is not angry at all.

Seeing that most of Bafil's undead servants were killed, Nadal's magic finally came into play.

Finally completing the magic preparation, he waved his staff and saw a large magic circle suddenly appear on the ground under the feet of the alchemical puppet. The originally solid ground suddenly became soft, and then he saw two huge rock hands extending from the ground to grab the alchemical puppets and drag them into the ground.

The noisy square suddenly became quiet.

“Hoohoo! Hoohoo!”

Bafil was panting, looking at the undead puppet that had suffered heavy losses, his face was so dark that it was almost scary.

He squatted on the ground to rest for a while, then stood up suddenly and rushed towards Julia in front of him with great momentum.

"What do you want to do.Ah!"

Julia screamed before she could finish her words, only to see Barfield reach out and grab her neck, "How dare you, you bitch! You just stood there and watched, and you just let off two fireballs to act like a show!"

Seeing that the dispute between the two was getting more and more intense, Nadal stepped in at this moment, pulled Buffel and said, "Calm down Buffel, Julia didn't mean it. I think she just didn't think straight for a moment."

"After all, she just lost her own Knights. If it weren't for the Knights' delay, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to get out of that strange forest."

Bafil's face was uncertain, but he finally waved his hand and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

After saying that, he walked forward.

Nadal helped Julia up from the ground, frowned and said hypocritically: "What are you thinking? You want to offend Bafel at this time? We came out together and agreed to advance and retreat together. How can you do this? At least cast a few more spells to contain him."

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that for now. I'll find a chance to apologize to Baffield later. I don't think he will say anything. We can talk about the rest later."

The two followed Buffell and continued walking forward.

Luo Xi stared at the backs of the three people leaving, and his eyes finally fell on Julia, but he frowned.

'This female apprentice'

Her two fellow apprentices didn't seem to notice anything unusual, but Luo Xi, who had elemental vision, saw it clearly.

The reason why this female apprentice didn't go to support her companions before might not be simply because she was upset. Perhaps it was more because she was unable to provide support. The three of them continued to move forward, and after crossing the square, they soon arrived at the central area of ​​the town, where a tower stood.

It is about four or five stories high, with ancient gray-white stone walls full of traces of weathering over the years.

"The Wizard Tower! It's the Wizard Tower!"

The three apprentices became excited all of a sudden.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, only those with strength above the wizard level can build a tower. In other words, since there is a wizard tower here, this relic must be at least wizard-level. Any resources obtained from a wizard's relic are coveted treasures for their apprentices.

'I wonder if they would still be so happy if they knew that this is not just a wizard-level but a sage-level wizard tower?'

Judging from the information obtained from the previous soul spark, this should be the wizard tower of the Potions Sage Cleo. The appearance of the tower seems to be well preserved. Will his knowledge reserves and experimental materials be here as well?

Luo Xi also looked forward to it silently.

The three apprentices walked forward and came to the gate along the stone steps. The gate was tightly closed. However, when the three of them arrived in front of the door, they suddenly heard a "creaking" sound, and the door slowly opened from both sides.

"Whoosh!~" The cold and damp wind blew in from inside the door, making people shiver unconsciously.

The three of them looked at each other, and the mood became a little tense for a moment.

Nadal turned his head and looked at Bafil and said, "Bafil, let your undead servant go in and explore the way."

Bafil summoned two skeletons and walked in. There didn't seem to be any mechanism or trap, and the skeletons walked into the wizard tower smoothly.

"It should be fine." Baffield said.

"That's true. After all, it's been who knows how many years. Even if there are any traps, they're probably useless because the magic stone energy has been exhausted."

The three of them comforted each other and walked in.

What came into view was a spacious circular hall with braziers set up all around it.

Above the dome, a large candlestick chandelier was hung with an iron chain. There was a dark shadow above the candlestick, as if someone was hanging on the candlestick. It swayed in the cold wind and made a squeaking sound.

Bafil frowned. He felt vaguely that the hanging figure seemed familiar, so he summoned a fireball to light a torch next to him, and moved forward with the torch held high.

And finally, he could see clearly the face of the hanging figure.

It was none other than the companion with whom he had just had an argument.

Julia! (End of this chapter)
