Chapter 161 Masked Witch
Chapter 161
In the hall on the first floor of the castle, the atmosphere was stagnant and depressing.
Giroud and Martha stood in the middle of the hall, looking out the window from time to time, as if waiting for something.
"What is the relationship between that gentleman and Lin En..."
Giroud muttered to himself, with a hint of doubt and fear in his tone.
There was something else behind his words, and he was obviously guessing that Lin En and the mysterious wizard had a close relationship.
Martha, who was standing by, heard his hidden meaning, frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "I don't know either. But the wizard should have no ill intentions. When he showed up just now, he helped us deal with the members of the Star Hunter Society..."
The two exchanged a complicated look.
They knew very little about Lynn.
All we know is that he is a natural wizard who came from afar, successfully joined the Mechanical City, and even became a formal citizen.
But as for Lin En's experience before coming to the Mechanical City, nothing was known.
In fact, they never expected that Lin En would have any intersection with beings of that level.
After all, the power of the mysterious wizard is unfathomable, and even the black dragon under his crotch exudes a heart-pounding pressure.
Even just a glance from a distance was enough to make Giroud and Martha shudder.
Compared to the nervousness he felt when meeting the great wizard Yod before, the fear brought by this black dragon was even deeper into his bones.
Martha couldn't help but compare this mysterious wizard with the Warhammer Master in her mind. After thinking for a long time, she came to a conclusion that shocked herself.
Even a Warhammer master at the level of Morningstar Wizard would probably find it difficult to reach the level of that great wizard.
Just as the two were in shock and anxiety, suddenly, Giroud and Martha were both stunned, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
A mental wave came from their communication device, which was a message from the great wizard Youde!
When they faced the five-ring wizard from the Star Hunters before, they had frantically asked for help from the great wizard Youde, but the message fell on deaf ears and there was no response.
Now, the threat posed by the Star Hunters has been resolved by the mysterious wizard, but Great Wizard Yod took the initiative to contact them at this time.
Although they had some resentment in their hearts, they did not dare to be negligent when facing a third-level wizard and quickly connected the message.
"call out!"
A shadow emerged in the center of the hall, it was the face of the great wizard Yod.
Those eagle-like sharp eyes were still captivating in the shadow, causing Giroud and Martha to straighten their bodies involuntarily with solemn expressions.
"Are you all right? Did you encounter any trouble?"
The eagle-like sharp eyes of the great wizard Yod swept over Martha and Giroud. Even though it was just a shadow, it made their heartbeats speed up and they dared not breathe.
Although his tone was calm, as if he was concerned about their safety, Giroud and Martha had mixed feelings.
After all, at the most critical moment of the previous plan, the great wizard Yoder disappeared, almost killing Lin En and the other two. But now, he lightly overshadowed the matter of the Star Hunters with a single sentence, and instead cared about whether they had encountered any trouble.
Giroud and Martha looked at each other, with some vague guesses in their minds.
They were not stupid, so they could naturally hear the information revealed. That mysterious wizard, it seemed, was not acquainted with the great wizard Yoder?
Maybe there is even some friction between the two?
Otherwise, why did the great wizard Yoder ask them directly if they were in trouble? If that was the case, then it would be troublesome.
Lin En seems to have a relatively close relationship with the mysterious wizard.
But what if the Great Wizard Yode had a grudge against that adult? If he reported the truth, wouldn't that also put Lin En in jeopardy? Compared to the Great Wizard Yode who almost killed them, Martha and Giroud obviously preferred Lin En, with whom they had a life-and-death friendship.
But the person in front of him is a level three wizard after all. Even if it is just a shadow projection, the pressure should not be underestimated.
They didn't dare to lie at all. After all, lying in front of such a strong man was tantamount to seeking death.
Finally, Giroud spoke first. After a moment's silence, he organized his words and said slowly, "Thanks to Lord Yoder, we are lucky. When the five-ring wizard took action, a mysterious wizard suddenly appeared..."
Having said that, Giroud paused and glanced at the reaction of the great wizard Yode.
Although the great wizard Youde was an old fox and had excellent control over his expression, the pupils in his hawk-like eyes shrank slightly.
Although it was only a moment, it was enough for Giroud to confirm his guess.
"Perhaps the wizard had a dislike for the civilization of the gods, so he directly killed all the members of the Star Hunter Society..."
Giroud spoke slowly and carefully, recounting what had happened before.
Although he did not lie, he deliberately selectively stated the facts, omitting the conversation between Lin En and the mysterious wizard, cleverly clearing up the relationship between the two.
After listening to Giroud's report, Great Wizard Youde was silent for a moment, his hawk-like eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was digesting the content.
"Lord Youde, I wonder how military merit should be calculated?"
Martha lowered her head slightly and asked in a respectful but natural tone: "Can we still harvest the Star Hunters that the adult killed as planned..."
She deliberately changed the subject, fearing that Master Yoder would continue to ask questions and dig up things related to Lin En. After all, if the relationship between Lin En and the mysterious wizard was exposed, things would become tricky.
Taking the initiative and using the topic of military exploits to divert attention was the best strategy Martha could think of.
However, the great wizard Yode just glanced at her indifferently, as if he didn't care about the issue of military merit at all.
If it had been before, the annihilation of more than a dozen members of the Star Hunting Society would have allowed him to vent his anger and save face for the defeat in the previous battle.
But now, having personally experienced the mysterious wizard's killing with one finger, Great Wizard Youde has long realized that things are beyond his control.
In fact, as soon as the wizard killed his clone, he uploaded the relevant information to the Eastern Theater Headquarters.
Now, the Morning Star Wizards at the headquarters have been paying close attention to the developments in this area, and have even used some war instruments from the Eastern Theater to monitor traces of battles that have occurred at the scene.
In the face of major events concerning the entire Eastern Theater, the military exploits of these dozen or so Star Hunters have long seemed insignificant.
Great Wizard Youde pondered for a moment and said calmly:
"The war merits will still be distributed according to the original plan, and will be reaped by Lin En and the two of you... I will explain the relevant information directly."
His voice was calm, but it contained a hint of apology.
Even though he, a third-level wizard, made a mistake in his action and almost killed three young wizards, it was impossible for him to apologize on his own initiative.
Therefore, he simply used his authority to save Lin En and the other two the trouble of submitting proof of killing members of the Star Hunter Society, and directly added the military merit in the background.
This was the "small apology" he could give.
As for whether the other party would appreciate it, that was not within his consideration.
Changing the subject, Great Wizard Youde suddenly fixed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice:
"By the way, where is Lin En? Where is he now? And where did that mysterious wizard go?"
The sharp hawk-like eyes locked onto Martha and Giroud again, like a bird of prey staring at its prey, with an aggressive aura.
When Martha and Giroud heard the great wizard Yode mention Lynn and the mysterious wizard, their hearts suddenly tightened.
As expected, there is still no way to avoid it?
The two were about to answer when their faces suddenly changed and they all looked towards the direction of the castle entrance.
Upon seeing this, Great Wizard Youde also turned his head and saw Lin En, dressed in armor and covered in wounds, walking into the hall.
Beside him, there was a figure wearing a strange mask, following closely with steady steps.
Lin En stepped into the hall, glanced around, and his heart tightened slightly.
He had specifically asked this question when he had just separated from the alien creature.
Find out why the great wizard Yode could not come to the rescue.
It turned out that one of the clones of the great wizard Yod died at the hands of that alien creature.
Apparently, Great Wizard Yoder had noticed the arrival of alien creatures earlier than Lin En and the others, and had even fought with them before...
An extremely powerful and terrifying existence, suspected to be the Morning Star Wizard, suddenly appeared near the 13th Front, which was bound to cause an uproar in the war zone.
Now, the great wizard Yod does not dare to come in person, but contacts them through communication props. This is enough to show the seriousness of the problem.
"Is the interrogation already underway?"
Lin En speculated secretly in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, even deliberately showing a bit of fatigue, his face was slightly pale.
"Lin, what's going on with you?"
The voice of the great wizard Yod was cold and contained a hint of scrutiny, and his eagle-like sharp eyes were fixed on him and the figure behind him.
Lynn did not act together with Giroud and Martha, which obviously attracted the attention of the great wizard Yod.
What concerned him more was the figure behind Lin En.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The man was wearing a loose robe with a low hood that concealed his face, but the graceful curves faintly revealed under the robe clearly showed his face.
This is a woman.
When did a woman appear beside Lin En? Even in the previous operation, the only female witch was Martha, right?
Great Wizard Youde frowned slightly, recalling the scene where his clone was wiped out with a single finger.
At that moment, he vaguely remembered that on the back of the gracefully coiled black dragon, in addition to the terrifying wizard, there seemed to be a mysterious female wizard accompanying him.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the great wizard Yode became more fierce, his hawk-like pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at Lin En like a bird of prey staring at its prey.
"Lin En, tell me exactly what happened!"
The tone of the great wizard Yod suddenly became serious, with unquestionable majesty, and the sense of oppression suddenly intensified.
Giroud and Martha looked at each other, their hearts suddenly sank, and cold sweat quietly seeped out.
Oops!
If what Lin En said was different from what they had reported before, then Great Wizard Yod would definitely be able to immediately detect that they were intentionally concealing something.
By then, not to mention Lin En, even the two of them would not be able to escape the punishment of the great wizard Yoder...
The two of them suddenly felt a chill on their backs, feeling nervous and uneasy, and secretly broke into a cold sweat for Lin En.
However, Lin En was not intimidated by the pressure from the great wizard Yod.
After all, from his childhood to today, he has encountered countless powerful enemies and met countless powerful wizards.
Among them, those who are stronger than the great wizard Biyoude can be counted on one hand, although we cannot say that they are as numerous as the hairs on a cow.
The terrifying deterrent power of the Aquila constellation back then, and even the oppressive feeling when the alien creature had not yet revealed its attitude, far exceeded that of the great wizard Yod who was now separated by a communication device.
Therefore, Lynn remained unmoved and did not obey orders like Giroud and Martha. Instead, he deliberately coughed deeply a few times, and his face became even paler, indicating that he was seriously injured.
His eyes swept across the hall quickly, passing by three figures and catching something strange in their expressions.
Especially Martha and Giroud, their flickering gazes and slightly changing expressions made Lynn vaguely guess something.
He restrained his expression slightly and said calmly: "Master Youde, we acted according to the original plan and led the five-ring mage of the Star Hunter Society into the formation, waiting for your response."
"But unfortunately, we have waited for a long time but the master has not shown up. We have no choice but to rely on the formation and our own strength to fight against the five-ring mage. However, the five-ring mage is a big shot at the second-level wizard level. I am the weakest and have been seriously injured and on the verge of death several times..."
“Get to the point!”
The great wizard Yode frowned and interrupted Lin En in a sharp tone with a tough and merciless attitude.
Lin En paused for a moment and continued:
"Just when we were determined to fight to the death and never surrender, suddenly, a mysterious wizard appeared. He rode an elegant and domineering black dragon. With one strike, the black dragon completely annihilated those wizards of the Star Hunter Society."
"But perhaps we were too weak. That terrifying master didn't even look at us and left with the black dragon..."
Although Lynn, Giroud and Martha did not consult each other in advance, there was no obvious contradiction between Lynn's account and the reports of the two.
After listening to this, Great Wizard Yod glanced at Lin En with his hawk-like sharp eyes for a moment, and finally slowly moved away.
However, soon his eyes were once again fixed on the mysterious figure behind Lynn.
The figure was draped in a thick wizard robe, but even so, it still couldn't hide her slender and graceful curves, and it was obviously a woman.
"Lynn, who is that person behind you? Why haven't I seen her before?"
The Great Wizard Yod's tone was slightly deep, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he obviously did not miss this detail.
Hearing this, Giroud and Martha's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they couldn't help but look at Lynn nervously.
Indeed, the sudden appearance of a masked witch looked a bit strange no matter how she looked at her, and even gave off a sense of being ambiguous.
Lin En was well prepared and said slowly, "This is my friend. I contacted her when we were fighting for our lives..."
Hearing Lin En mention the life-and-death battle again, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, Great Wizard Yoder frowned and said coldly, "Why are you still wearing a mask to meet me, the commander? Is there any problem?"
After these words were spoken, Lynn's expression remained unchanged, but Martha and Giroud felt nervous.
They vaguely remembered the beautiful witch with purple eyes. If she was really that person...
Once the identity is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.
Lin En hesitated for a moment, then pretended to decline, "My friend had some accidents during early experiments, which caused his face to be damaged. It is not convenient for him to meet people, so he wears a mask... I hope Lord Youde can understand."
Normally, even a powerful wizard like your immediate superior would not pursue the matter further after hearing this explanation, after all, it involves personal privacy.
What's more, the female wizard next to Lin En was not a direct subordinate of the great wizard Yode, so he had no power to forcibly check her.
However, Great Wizard Yoder obviously did not intend to let it go, and said in a cold and hard tone: "Uncover the mask and let me see."
These words were extremely strong, almost carrying the tone of an irresistible command.
After saying this, Great Wizard Yode thought that Lin En would refuse again, however, Lin En's performance was beyond his expectations.
Lin En just spread his hands indifferently, turned around and said to the figure: "Uncover it, show it to the great wizard Youde..."
The figure wearing a thick wizard robe and a mask took off the mask slowly without hesitation.
Under the mask, a hideous and terrifying face was revealed.
It was a face roughly stitched together with lines, as if it was made from the skins of different people, exuding a gloomy and strange aura.
Although that face also belonged to a woman, it was completely different from the pretty face of the purple-eyed witch.
The woman forced a smile, but it wasn't really a smile at all, instead it looked a little creepy.
At this point, it is clear that what Lin En said before was not false at all.
A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of the great wizard Youde, and his stern expression relaxed a little.
Even though he had an extremely tough attitude, he felt at this moment that he was making a big fuss out of nothing.
Lin En smiled and said calmly, "I went to pick up my friend earlier. She is on the 12th front line. Her name is Sonya."
He answered all the questions of the great wizard Yod without any mistakes, with a frank attitude and without any flaws.
Sonya greeted the Great Wizard Yod, Giroud and Martha respectively, and then silently put on her mask.
