The tightly closed secret room was finally opened, and Anthony walked out slowly. The wizards gathered outside immediately surrounded him.
"Teacher, are you okay?" The nearest witch rushed forward and tried to support Anthony.
Just now, even from the outside world, they could hear the rumbling thunder in the secret room. The energy intensity had reached the level of fifth or sixth ring magic, which was much more dangerous than any previous experiment.
"Fula, I'm fine, nothing serious." Anthony waved his hand to refuse the help of several people, then shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that I still failed!"
"Teacher, you just need some time. There will always be the next thunderstorm." The witch named Fulla said comfortingly.
It is by no means an easy task to open up a new path of magic. It is already extremely great that her teacher can control the natural force of thunder and create the corresponding magic.
Anthony nodded, dragged his tired body, and prepared to go back to the room to rest for a while, but then he seemed to remember something and asked again. "Where is Abel? Is there any news about him recently?"
Abel was one of the people he sent to investigate William, and he had been missing for several days, which made him think of the worst possibility.
"I heard that a battle took place in a remote street in the royal capital four days ago. People nearby heard a thunderous roar. It is also rumored that a large number of priests rushed there at that time. It is very likely related to Abel's disappearance." Another wizard said worriedly.
Anthony frowned slightly. It seemed that Abel had most likely revealed his whereabouts and was captured or even killed by the clergy of the Vatican.
However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, followed by a servant running in hurriedly and reporting.
"Master Anthony, Abel... Abel is back!"
"Oh?" Anthony paused.
Fula and the others also showed joy on their faces. "How is Abel now? Did he escape from prison?"
"Lord Abel looks fine, but Lord Leir has already started arguing with him because he did not come back alone, but brought a very important guest with him." The servant replied cautiously.
"How dare he bring outsiders here?" A hint of anger appeared on Fulla's face.
This is the school's headquarters. If the news leaks out and attracts people from the Vatican, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Could it be that Abel was coerced by someone?" One of the wizards immediately thought of this.
Abel had been missing for several days. Now he suddenly came back safe and sound. He couldn't help but wonder if the other party had betrayed them.
"That's impossible. I believe he won't betray us." "How can I believe that? Did he ask Master Anthony for permission before bringing outsiders in?" "He stayed outside for several days. If he wasn't caught by the Vatican, how could there be no news at all?"
Wizards from several schools were arguing with each other, and Fulla, who had recovered from her shock, asked about the appearance of the person brought by Abel.
"It's a lame man who knows neither magic nor divine arts! He said he has something very important to discuss and wants to see Master Anthony." The servant responded hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, Fulla and others were stunned, not understanding what Abel was doing.
Several wizards nodded, followed Anthony outside, and soon arrived at the conference hall.
Most of the wizards and apprentices residing in the school gathered here, surrounding the two people in the center, their eyes full of vigilance.
As soon as Fulla came in, she saw the middle-aged man standing next to Abel. He was hunched over, leaning on a cane, had an ordinary look, was even a little bald, and his only advantage was that he was dressed decently.
After a quick glance, Fulla turned her gaze to Ebel and angrily scolded him, "Are you crazy, Ebel? How dare you bring outsiders into the school without permission?"
"I know exactly what I'm doing, Fulla!" Abel said firmly, then looked at Anthony and saluted respectfully. "Master Anthony."
"I'm glad to see you back safe and sound, Abel, but I think you should first explain where you have been for the past four days and who is the friend next to you?" Anthony's tone was very gentle, but it revealed a sense of irresistibility.
"Master, this story all started a few days ago..." Abel immediately recounted the whole story in general, and then said that he had been a 'guest' in the manor for the past four days and had been 'treated' very well.
"And this one is the messenger from the wizard land of Greenrill, Mr. Loud!" Abel introduced.
"Grinrill? The wizard holy land that only exists in rumors?" Fulla asked in astonishment.
"Is there really such a place?" the wizard at the side also questioned.
"Of course it exists!" Lord nodded and said politely. "Good afternoon, Master Anthony. Master Lin En asked me to express his sincerest greetings to you on his behalf."
"Tell me your purpose." Anthony said directly.
"Lord Lin En hopes to talk to you about cooperation. We have the same interests and enemies, and that is to destroy the rule of the Holy See!" Laud said righteously.
Anthony looked at Lord and did not respond. Even with Abel's guarantee, he could not trust a force that came out of nowhere and called itself the Land of Wizards.
"In addition, Lord Lin En has also done some research on lightning, and I hope to have the opportunity to discuss it with you." Lord added with a little hesitation.
"So you wanted to spy on the secret of thunder magic!" Leir shouted angrily.
"That's impossible!" "Expel him, no, lock him up directly, and don't let him reveal our whereabouts!" "Thunder magic is not something you can covet..."
The wizards present were also very excited, thinking that what Lord said about cooperation was just an excuse, and that the other party's real purpose was to steal the treasures of their school under the name of the so-called wizarding land.
Abel's expression became a little embarrassed, because many of these words were what he had said before.
However, it turned out that his face was swollen...
