Because the forced teleportation in the Norman Secret Realm is a random teleportation.
Richard considered that the tracking mark on his body after killing Gildarts's clone was not like the tracking mark of an ordinary wizard apprentice. This mark was extremely strong and could not be covered by a concealing cloak.
Therefore, if Richard chooses to be forcibly teleported out of the Norman Secret Realm, there is a small probability that he will be teleported to the vicinity of the control area of the three major academies, and a high probability that he will be in the control area of the night elves.
This was because a large part of the Underdark was currently under the control of the night elves. If he was teleported to the night elves' controlled area, he would be in great danger even if he had been promoted to a formal wizard.
Therefore, choosing to be forcibly teleported out of the secret realm is not a good choice.
However, if Richard chooses to go out from the secret gate, he will encounter another thorny problem, which is the reaction of Gildarts and the three major colleges.
Regarding this point, Richard considered it carefully and concluded that the three major colleges might not be able to react in time.
Due to the restrictions on information transmission within the secret realm, even if Gildarts' clone was killed, Gildarts himself outside the secret realm would only suffer severe backlash and would not know who killed his werewolf clone.
The murderer can only be tracked by following the marks.
According to this logic, it means that as long as you are fast enough and the time is short enough, you can create a time difference.
If I had used the teleportation array to leave before Gildarts reported it, the three major academies would not know that it was me who killed Gildarts's werewolf clone.
Of course, as time goes by, you will be exposed.
Even if I don't leave any trace, if the three major colleges arrange special wizards who are proficient in prophecy to search for me, there is a high probability that they will find me.
Although he has been promoted to a first-level wizard, he is only at the initial level.
Therefore, a senior first-level wizard who is proficient in prophecy will definitely be able to find himself.
Secondly, in addition to the first-level wizards, the three major academies can always find a few second-level wizards who are proficient in prophecy . Now it has only been more than 20 minutes since Gildarts's clone was killed, so as long as he and Stephana act quickly enough, they should be able to leave the secret realm calmly through the teleportation array.
It's not that Richard didn't consider returning directly and joining the Ignis School to seek asylum, partly because his promotion speed was too fast.
It was so fast that it was unbelievable and even inexplicable! Secondly, the impact of killing the commander of the so-called rescue team was quite large. Richard could not guarantee whether the Ignis School would protect him.
Because judging from the ranking of the three major colleges, the Ignis School is at the bottom, so naturally it has the least say in the joint meeting.
Therefore, in order to avoid being sliced or imprisoned, Richard thought for a long time and decided to retreat to the camp of the blind murloc tribe first.
I had just been promoted and needed to find a safe place to consolidate my position.
And considering that if Gildarts, who has an official identity, continues to look for him, it would obviously be safer for him to stay in the Underdark.
However, I also killed Dolores, and the strength of the Night Elf Matron is extremely strong. If she is determined to find me, I guess it will be difficult to hide my whereabouts under the endless mystical witchcraft.
Although the Blind Murloc Tribe is located in a remote area, it is on the fringe of the night elf forces and has weak control.
Richard has also taken this into consideration and does not think that he will be safe just by hiding in the blind murloc tribe.
However, as long as he could have a place to stay for a short period of time, at worst he could quickly retreat from the Gray Fern Wilderness to the Gray Dwarf-controlled area.
It took Richard only a few seconds to sort out all the complicated thoughts and ideas mentioned above and choose the best option.
This should also be an advantage after being promoted to a formal wizard.
Due to limited time, Richard quickly woke up the wizard apprentices who were lying on the ground after being hit by the amnesia spell.
He wore a concealing cloak to cover himself and Stephanie.
"Hiss~ My head hurts!" The first person to wake up was the male apprentice from Gurus Academy. His strength was at the limit of a third-level wizard apprentice, so naturally he woke up the fastest.
Then the others slowly began to wake up.
Stefan also frowned and woke up in pain. After all, the side effects of this amnesia technique are quite serious. If one is unlucky, it will damage the hippocampus on the inner side of the temporal lobe of the brain.
Stefan opened his eyes and was a little confused. He remembered that he followed the wizard Gildarts and a group of wizard apprentices to the vicinity of the night elves' base camp.
Then, it seemed that a great battle had taken place? Hey! Why can't I remember the specific scene of the battle? Stefan looked around with his eyes out of focus. He saw gullies all around the camp and corpses everywhere. There were corpses of wizard apprentices, but more of them were corpses of spider knights.
But the most special thing was the circle of corpses of the Demon Spider Knights in the center of the camp. They were lying neatly and seemed to have no scars on their faces.
Weird!
So weird!
Oh, and where is the wizard Gildarts?
Stefan searched carefully and found no trace of the wizard Gildarts. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the night elves had been defeated, and then when the wizard Gildarts saw that we were all unconscious, he returned to the base to heal his injuries?
Although it doesn't make sense, it seems to be the only explanation.
Moreover, one thing is certain, whether judging from the casualties on the scene or from the fact that their people are still alive, their side will definitely be the final winner.
Otherwise, they would have been captured by the Demon Spider Knight long ago.
Soon, everyone woke up.
"Did we win?"
"We must have won! How else could we have survived?"
"You are such an idiot, asking such a question."
A second-level wizard apprentice's eyes lit up immediately and he shouted, "Doesn't that mean we can get out? Haha, that's great, we can finally get out!"
"Hey! That's right, let's get out quickly. The gate to the secret realm is not far behind the supply point. Let's go quickly!"
Stefan and a man and a woman from Gurus Academy looked at each other.
Originally, Stefan wanted to stay for a while and see what was going on.
However, the situation here is a bit strange, and the wizard Gildarts is nowhere to be found.
It would be better for the three of them to return to the base and report the situation first.
Besides, the three of them had not accomplished nothing. As members of the rescue team, they had also worked hard to rescue a group of surviving apprentices.
So, Stefan said to everyone: "Okay! Then let's leave the secret realm as soon as possible!"
After saying that, the others seemed to be worried that something unexpected might happen if they stayed any longer, so they immediately stood up and stopped resting.
A group of eight or nine people walked straight through the camp and quickly headed towards the location of the secret realm gate.
Richard used a concealing cloak to hide himself and Stephanie, blending in behind a group of wizard apprentices and heading towards the gate to the secret realm.
When Richard arrived at the gate, there were only more than two minutes left, and the repulsive force of the secret realm was getting stronger and stronger.
However, Richard was instantly attracted by the shape of the gate.
I saw that the gate to the secret realm was ten meters high and had a hollow square structure. It seemed to be made of an unknown pure black stone, and the surface was engraved with complicated and exquisite patterns. These patterns were obviously not for decoration, but some strange ancient witch array symbols.
Standing in front of the gate, a natural sense of simplicity and heaviness greets you.
This ancient door, which has stood for who knows how long, has the magical power to break through space and teleport.
Richard immediately thought of the teleportation array through which he was teleported.
At that time, I heard many third-level wizard apprentices in the base chatting. This teleportation array is a two-way teleportation array. As long as the energy is continuously supplied, it can successfully receive personnel or teleport personnel into the Norman Secret Realm.
But this gate in the secret realm is, to a certain extent, a one-way portal.
In other words, if the teleportation array in the stronghold loses its energy supply, the one-way transmission function of this gate will become invalid and it will become just an ordinary stone gate.
In this regard, Richard couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the magnificent magical powers and ingenious designs of the ancient wizards. This was a civilization completely different from his previous life, but it had all kinds of magic.
Stefan took a step forward and chanted a long spell in Hutt. After a few seconds, a huge amount of energy began to gather in the center of the gate.
The originally empty scene in the center of the door suddenly became like the surface of water, with ripples forming.
The wizard apprentices all had extremely happy expressions on their faces.
Obviously, this one-way portal can be used normally and there is no problem.
So, the wizard apprentices stepped into the portal one after another, as if squeezing into a mirror, and disappeared the next second.
Relying on the special effects of the cloak, Richard and Stephanie followed closely behind. ——At this time.
In the central square of the stronghold, on a wide platform half a meter high.
Suddenly, the huge and ancient hexagram wizard formation began to shine with a soft light that flickered.
The two third-level wizard apprentices who were in charge of registering the teleportation array were lying on the chairs chatting boredly at this time. When they saw this scene, they were stunned for a moment.
Due to the restrictions of the rules of the Norman Secret Realm, the night elves cannot be so foolish as to teleport from the secret realm to the stronghold to seek death. So the only possibility for the teleportation array to be activated is that a wizard apprentice has returned from the secret realm.
Thinking of the rescue team that had set out before, the two looked at each other, but their expressions were different.
"The rescue must have been successful!" The man, who was obviously an apprentice of the Ring of North from the mark on his chest, couldn't help but say happily.
"Could it be that the rescue team succeeded in the rescue so quickly?" The apprentice from Gurus Academy asked hesitantly. After all, the activation of the teleportation array also made it possible that the apprentices in the Norman secret realm survived and managed to save themselves by chance.
"Wizard Gildarts's werewolf clone is so powerful!" The apprentice from the Ring of Noth couldn't help but admire.
"Hey! You are familiar with the wizard Gildarts who is leading the team this time." The third-level apprentice of Gurus Academy said in surprise.
You know, the ordinary wizard apprentices in the stronghold can only find out that the one who led the rescue team into the Norman Secret Realm this time was the wizard Gildarts of the Ring of Norse, but they don’t know such details, such as the werewolf clone mentioned by the other party just now.
However, he realized the next second that his companion seemed to have a good relationship with Stefan, another extremely powerful apprentice of the Ring of North who entered the secret realm to rescue. He must have more information channels than himself and others, so he did not suspect anything.
Only figures were seen, along with flashes of white light, suddenly appearing on the ancient hexagram teleportation array. As the strong light faded, two people could clearly see that there were a total of nine people teleported this time.
However, the apprentice from the Gulus Academy looked quite puzzled, thinking to himself, there seemed to be eleven flashes of light just now, why are there only nine people? "Stefan!!" the apprentice from the Ring of North shouted excitedly.
Instantly, his companion's shout interrupted his thoughts, because he also saw his acquaintance from Gurus College. A dazzling white light flashed, and when he saw the surroundings clearly again, Richard found that he and Stephanie had returned to the base again.
However, he clearly felt that the tracking mark on his body from killing Gildarts's clone was no longer suppressed by the rules because he had left the Norman Secret Realm. After a slight tremor, it was instantly triggered.
Richard frowned. Obviously, if the caster of this tracking mark was paying attention to this matter at the moment, he would have discovered his whereabouts by now.
Without hesitation, Richard hugged Stephanie and ran quickly towards a dark forest in the north.
Under the cover of the concealing cloak, the wizard apprentices who had just been teleported were unaware of it. ——Half an hour ago.
In the Underdark, in a room of the stronghold.
Gildarts suddenly felt dizzy, and a heart-wrenching pain attacked his soul! Even as a formal wizard, he couldn't resist this kind of pain. He screamed immediately! He fainted and fell to the ground.
The two servants who heard the noise outside the door knocked on the door quickly.
"Boom boom boom"
"Wizard Gildarts, are you alright?"
"Wizard Gildarts, has something happened?"
After knocking on the door several times without any response, the two apprentices at the door looked at each other and immediately realized that the situation was a bit serious, so they took the initiative to open the wooden door of the room.
The usually majestic wizard Gildarts was now pale, sweating profusely, and lying on the ground motionless.
The two men were so frightened by the scene that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly helped the wizard Gildarts to the bed and quickly sent someone to report to their superiors.
After a while, a middle-aged wizard with a dignified face and a deep aura like the sea came over from one end of the corridor with several official wizards.
"Respected Great Wizard Graf!" Several wizard apprentices standing at the door of Gildarts' room immediately bowed respectfully.
Graf nodded with a serious expression. When he heard the apprentice's report just now, his first thought was that the rescue mission was very likely to fail!
