The Brilliant Royal City has not been very peaceful recently.
If we want to trace the day when the turmoil began, everyone will first think of the night of Starfall, the magnificent and beautiful galaxy that spans the night sky.
That was an impressive memory.
The First Wizard Tower failed to provoke a fight, and not only lost face but also lost one tenth of its resources. It was a huge loss.
Although the First Wizard Tower seemed to have accepted the defeat and did not default on its debt, one-tenth of the resources involved the sacrifice of interests in all aspects. It was not something that could be resolved by simply sending a few truckloads of materials over. Rather, it would take a considerable amount of time to settle the account and hand over.
The handover process was lengthy and full of tension.
The atmosphere among the wizards of the first and third wizard towers was tense. Some were more direct, some deliberately looking for trouble and arguing with each other, or some resorted to violence because of a small friction. Some were more roundabout, some saw the same product in the store, and they would bid each other up, or some would maliciously pursue and snatch the person that the other liked...
There were no major fights, but small disputes arose one after another.
Everyone in the royal city knows that the First Wizard Tower and the Third Wizard Tower are at odds with each other.
The atmosphere in the royal city also quietly became tense, and every corner was filled with a sense of restlessness.
It was at this time that a major event occurred in the Brilliant Academy - this batch of wizard apprentices encountered a malicious attack during their field practice. Seventeen people were seriously injured, sixty-two were slightly injured, and two were missing.
The camp was attacked by a large group of snow rabbits. A teacher who was at the scene said that even if all the snow rabbits in the North were captured, there would probably not be as many rabbits as the one he saw that day.
The gathered snow bunnies were attracted by the scent of cyan flower juice and three-tailed flower, and went crazy, sweeping up a snowstorm that covered the whole sky. In addition, a group of snow bunnies ran all the way without reason, causing many unlucky teachers and students who blocked the way of the rabbit army to be injured.
"Who planned this attack?"
"With so many snow storm rabbits, they must have been raised for a long time with a premeditated plan, right? Where were they raised before? How were they sent to the city?"
"What on earth is Brilliant Academy doing? Is it keeping secrets? Is it on guard? How careless must it be to allow the enemy to take advantage of it?"
Citizens who do not have a clear understanding of the events are discussing these topics enthusiastically.
According to the law that all attacks on wizards come from the Camarilla, most people attribute this incident to the Camarilla. After all, the only ones who would attack the little wizards are the radical Camarilla who hate humans. They hate humans, including human cubs.
So the people criticized the Secret Alliance for its madness, while also criticizing the negligence of the management of the Royal City and the Academy.
Not long after, more news came out.
The one who saved the young wizards was Lord Scarlet Moon from the Third Wizard Tower.
The two people who disappeared in the accident were also Lord Scarlet Moon and the little wizard who liked him.
In this regard, some people admired Scarlet Moon for standing up and sacrificing herself for others, some people despised the fact that the teachers of Brilliant Academy were not as reliable as a vampire, some people wondered why Scarlet Moon happened to appear there, and some people even guessed that this was a conspiracy against Her Excellency Scarlet Moon...
There is also a small number of people who are full of romantic cells. They made up a touching story about a young wizard who stayed with a vampire through thick and thin, and the story became more and more outrageous as it was spread privately.
In short, within just two or three days, the royal city was like a boiling oil pan, with people talking and arguing everywhere.
Brilliant Academy was extremely busy, tracking down the murderer, comforting the students, compensating the injured children, reflecting on themselves and apologizing, and checking and rectifying the academy staff...Yelena discovered that in the past few days, the teachers in the academy were in a hurry, and their expressions were serious, as if they were holding their breath and holding their anger.
Only the top leaders of the major forces could see clearly that this attack was not aimed at the academy, but at Sigourney and the wizard tower behind him.
Now Sigourney has just disappeared, which has made those behind the scenes and those who are watching the show worried.
Is he dead or injured? To what extent?
Countless people wanted to confirm this result quickly.
All wizard towers have posted a quest with rich rewards: a missing person quest: find the missing Scarlet Moon and Ash Elwyn.
However, it is difficult to tell how much of this is genuine concern and how much is out of ill-intentioned intent.
The third wizard tower also posted a similar quest, but Nance didn't think anyone could claim the reward.
——Sigourney and Ash will come back. But they will never be brought back by you losers.
After flying back and forth several times in the Three-tailed Flower Valley where Sigourney disappeared that day, Nans, whose momentum shook and brought up the howling wind again, finally calmed down after returning to the Wizard Tower after a fruitless pursuit. He was sure that Sigourney was still alive. If she was alive, they would definitely come back on their own one day.
He is inexplicably confident in his own children, but still shows his gloomy and irritable expression on his face.
Doing it in front of the people behind the scenes will also make it easier for him to find trouble with others.
What? Not sure who was behind the day?
What does this matter?
Nance thought expressionlessly, anyone who wanted to go against them, anyone who was eyeing the Third Wizard Tower and Sigourney, would definitely do it next time if they didn't do it this time. He dealt with them all at once, so that they would remember it.
That night, the first, second, and fourth wizard towers, and many large shops under their names were destroyed by fire, landslides, and man-made disasters… The Secret Alliance hid in several strongholds in the royal city, but were exposed when neighbors discovered their strangeness and reported them, when criminals being chased by law enforcement teams accidentally broke in, or when rescuers were attracted by explosions during experiments… The various ways of exposure turned the Secret Alliance’s years of arrangements into ashes.
Everyone knew that this was revenge from the grey wizard.
But no one could provide evidence to accuse the gray-robed wizard of his crimes.
Nance, the "Weaver of Destiny", is not only an outstanding astrologer, but also a powerful grey-robed wizard.
Those who had looked down on the master of the Third Wizard Tower and attributed all his achievements to Scarlet Moon were severely slapped in the face on this day.
The mystery and strangeness of the prophecy system makes it hard to guard against.
No one fought back.
Nance's anger was justified in everyone's eyes.
If sacrificing some interests can calm the anger of the gray-robed wizard, then let's sacrifice it.
It's better than confronting an angry gray robe who has lost his mind and starting a full-scale war at this time, which would be a real loss.
So even though they felt sad about the resources destroyed by Nance, they just had to bear it.
Anyway... next year the third wizard tower might be in our pocket, and then we can make back all the extra money.
After wreaking havoc with the momentum of "I'm very angry, I'm furious and I must make you pay the price", Nance became quiet again.
In the eyes of others, it was probably "He has vented his anger", "See, he wouldn't go to such lengths for a vampire", "He still knew his limits, right? He didn't dare to cause too much damage, for fear of angering too many opponents at once and not being able to fight them off.", "Without the Scarlet Moon, that old man Nance has become timid, right? Or is he worried about next year's battle for the tower?"
Even though he showed unpredictable strength, Nance was still regarded as a soft-spoken person who was easy to appease because of his good temper in the past.
Soft-hearted Nance was sitting in the small living room at this time, looking down at the lines of handwriting appearing on the parchment in his hand, and humming a cheerful tune in a happy mood.
——Let those idiots think so.
The more you let your guard down, the better the show will be when Sigourney returns.
***
"Is Mr. Nance okay?"
Ash leaned in next to Sigourney and looked down at the parchment in his hands.
Sigourney glanced at the cheerful handwriting on the parchment, which seemed to be dancing with its arms and legs stretched out, and raised her eyebrows: "It looks like they are having a lot of fun."
After leaving the range of the Snow Demon's lair, Sigourney was finally able to contact Nans. Only then did they realize how many good things Nans had done with his aggressive momentum.
But after confirming that they were safe, Nance calmed down a little. According to Sigourney's plan, he planned to disappear for a while - until the battle for the third wizard tower began.
As Meng said, when going from the light to the dark, you will see a lot of secrets that cannot be seen on the surface.
He intended to let go of all the enemies who were plotting against them.
Thinking that this plan was good, Nance made a few more big deals and then continued to be the softie with a smile on his face.
But recently, Sigourney was in the spotlight, and many wizards around the Snow Demon's Lair were looking for him. The three of them left the Snow Demon's Lair, and they spent a lot of effort to cover up, and then they quietly passed through the searching crowd and left that area.
This was also a reason for not sending Ash back alone.
Once Ash, who disappeared with him, shows up, he will become the target of public criticism, and everyone wants to dig out his whereabouts from Ash.
The two of them, who had to temporarily avoid the limelight, along with Meng, set out on a journey to the Crystal Forest together - Rachel's wizard tower was located in this forest, which was as dangerous and forbidden as the Snow Demon's Lair.
The Crystal Forest is also located in the North, at the junction of the territories of the Glorious Throne and the Pale Throne. It does not belong to any territory and is considered the "wilderness" of Iluf - an uninhabited area with no wizard tower built to manage it.
These wilderness areas are usually where wild wizards without a home stay and build towers.
Before he won the Third Wizard Tower, Nans was also a secluded wild wizard. His wizard tower was in the southern Rooftop Mountains, which was remote, secluded, and isolated from the world. Many wild wizards chose that mountain range.
But the only wild wizard who chose the Crystal Forest was Rachel.
It's not because the environment is dangerous or harsh, but because there is a neighbor here named Rachel.
A dark wizard who is obsessed with ancient magic, crazy and bloody, and even uses his own kind for experiments without hesitation.
But until now, no one except the person involved knew that the unscrupulous crazy wizard had died quietly in an unknown small village.
