Chapter 229 Leaving and Teleporting
Chapter 229
The auction ended successfully. According to the process, Lin En should go to the settlement area with Jess to pay the magic stones and collect the items he successfully bid.
However, just as he was about to complete the process, Jess arrived with unexpected news that something had gone wrong.
The core of the problem is the natural wizard.
According to the explanation from Five Star City, the wizard who commissioned the auction suddenly changed his mind.
He chose to pay a penalty of 50,000 magic stones and forcibly took away the slave he had originally planned to auction.
According to the auction rules, the penalty will be divided equally: half will be given to Lin En as compensation, and the other half will belong to Five Star City.
In other words, Lin En did nothing and got 25,000 magic stones for free. To others, this was considered a good "windfall".
But Lynn was not happy.
If the penalty was exchanged for "The Book of Byron", he might have smiled and regarded it as a pleasant surprise.
But the problem is that the natural wizard is his target that he must capture.
In the end, he paid off the cost of "The Book of Byron" and successfully got the item and the penalty of 25,000.
But his expression was particularly gloomy.
Because the item he needed most was forcibly taken away from him.
Although the process appeared to be legal on the surface, Lynn had already vaguely sensed something fishy going on.
He was already 80% to 90% sure that he knew who was controlling all this.
House Malorne.
Just now, he was arguing with him at the auction venue about the matter of natural wizards.
Now that the auction is over, it has "miraculously" happened that the client breached the contract and took the natural wizard away?
The coincidence here is too suspicious.
After all, in general, consignors would like the price to be as high as possible, as that is their direct profit.
Willing to give up the high-priced transaction and choose to pay the penalty, unless someone behind the scenes provides greater benefits or even exerts some kind of pressure.
Lin En's expression was cold and his eyes were slightly gloomy.
"These two people... should know that I will stay in Five Star City for a few days and leave after the teleportation array is opened."
"So, they took advantage of me not leaving yet and made their move in advance, completely destroying my chance of photographing that nature wizard."
He murmured in a low voice, but a sharp look appeared in his eyes.
If his guess was correct, the natural wizard might have fallen into the hands of the two wizards from the Malorne family.
As a local power with the reputation of the Malorne family behind them, it would be a joke to say that they have no ability to influence the decision of a consignor.
"Since you insist on seeking death..."
Lin En's eyes darkened, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he whispered: "Then I can only fulfill your wish."
Having made up his mind, he casually sent Jessie away, looked indifferent, and set out on the road back to his residence alone.
After returning to his residence, Lin En did not choose conventional means to search for the whereabouts of the two wizards from the Malorne family.
He stood still and whispered out his own extraordinary plant, Ifgrid.
I saw the shadow of a strange tree with a light green fluorescent light slowly emerging. The tree trunk was crystal clear, and the slight movement of its branches and leaves exuded a rich natural atmosphere.
Lin En stared at it, his mind immersed in it, and vaguely, he felt a faint but clear response calling from a certain direction.
After a while, he stretched out his palm, and a green leaf quietly fell and was held in his palm.
Lynn opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a sword.
“…Found it.”
………………………………
Outside Five Star City.
Under the sky, a giant eagle with a wingspan of two meters and gray-white feathers was flying through the air.
There were two figures sitting on the eagle's back, one old and one young, and they were none other than the two wizards of the Malorne family.
Behind them, there was a figure wearing a black collar. That was the natural wizard that Lin En had bought at the auction before.
At this moment, she lowered her head with a blank expression, like a walking corpse, without any spirit.
The young wizard gnashed his teeth, his anger still lingering:
“Grandpa Lori, are you just going to let that guy go like this? I really can’t swallow this!”
His tone was full of resentment and murderous intent, and he obviously had not yet recovered from being publicly humiliated at the auction.
If they had not been in Five Star City at the time, they would have taken action long ago and crushed the strange wizard into dust!
The old wizard Lori had white hair like snow, but his expression remained calm. He shook his head slightly and said, "Thomas, we have confirmed that he will not leave Five Star City in the short term. That is a place that the Morning Star Family also has to be cautious about. It is too risky to take action."
"Instead of wasting time on a meaningless conflict, it is better to bring this natural wizard back to the tribe as soon as possible. Her value is much more important than your little emotions."
As they talked, the nature wizard remained silent.
The collar flashed with dim patterns. It was a restrictive item designed specifically for slaves. As long as it was not removed, the wearer would fall into a deep sleep and become a puppet with no power to resist.
"Humph! What a pity..." Thomas snorted coldly, gritting his teeth, "I thought I would see that guy kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy like a dead dog..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Boom! A burst of air like thunder suddenly hit, and the strong pressure came over, and the flying eagle trembled violently! Thomas's face changed, and he looked up suddenly: "...What is this sound?"
The more experienced Lori's face suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly and shouted in surprise:
"Oh no! Someone is approaching us very fast!"
Right now!
"roar!!!"
A dragon roar that shook the world exploded in the air like thunder, and suddenly shook the sky! Along with the dragon roar, a suffocating dragon power swept over like a raging tide!
The first to be hit was the gray-white eagle that was originally soaring steadily in the sky.
Although this flying eagle was already a leader among the first-level creatures and had considerable strength, it was facing a genuine third-level monster, the black dragon! The black dragon had not yet appeared, but the dragon's might that pressed down like a tidal wave had already made the flying eagle's soul tremble and its body stiffen.
Its wings seemed to be frozen by fear, and its entire body trembled and shook out of control, letting out a mournful cry, and then it dived straight downwards like a falling meteorite!
Swoosh! The eagle lost control in the air and fell madly, and the three people on its back sank with it! "Oh no!"
"It's an enemy attack! And it's... a strong enemy!"
Lori's face changed drastically, his eyes became sharp, and he roared angrily.
Boom! !
The Flying Eagle and the three men crashed heavily into the mountain below like a meteor, and a violent sonic boom was heard in the air.
Fortunately, the two wizards from the Malorne family were well prepared. The moment they approached the ground, they cast flying spells to float in the air and stabilize their bodies.
They still had a firm grip on the Nature Wizard's body, preventing her from falling with them.
but……
"roar!!!"
The second dragon roar exploded from the sky again!
The next moment, amid the rolling dark clouds, a black dragon with a pitch-black body and scales as dense as steel appeared from the sky, with its wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, with terrifying power!
On the back of the black dragon stood a young man wearing a black wizard robe.
His face was clear and not obscured.
It was Lin En, the mysterious dark wizard who had publicly argued with the Malorne family at the Five-Star Auction House!
"You?! Damn it, it's you, you bastard!"
Thomas screamed in anger, his face twisted.
However, at this moment, Lynn ignored Thomas's curses. With a sharp gaze, he just glanced at Lori and Thomas, and then fixed his sight on the natural wizard.
She was still asleep, with her collar still on, but she was unharmed.
A cold light flashed in Lin En's eyes, and he gently raised his right hand.
The next moment.
boom!!
Behind him, a green and lush tree suddenly appeared. It was the core of his natural witchcraft, Ivgrid! From the tree canopy, green leaves suddenly shot out like sharp arrows!
Swish, swish, swish, swish!!! These leaves were like machine gun fire, with a whistling sound that tore through the air, and they attacked Lori and Thomas in an overwhelming manner!
Ifgrid has now broken through the shackles of level three creatures and is approaching the boundary between level three and level four. His power even surpasses that of some level three wizards.
Under Lynn's control, Ifgrid's attacks were varied and deadly.
Without using the domain sorcery [Forest Dome Falling], Lin En can control Ivgrid to perform three main attacks:
The first is the explosive attack from its roots. Each attack contains the terrifying power of a full-strength attack from a third-level wizard, and the destructive power is amazing. The second is to kill the enemy by relying on flying leaves. Although each leaf only has the attack power of a second-level wizard.
But their advantage lies in their huge numbers, dense like rain, and difficult to defend, which can often overwhelm the enemy.
As for the third method, it is to use the branches on the tree canopy for melee attacks.
Although this method also contains enormous power, its attack range is limited. It is neither as far-reaching as tree roots nor as far-reaching as flying leaves. Lin En usually only uses it when the enemy is close.
At this moment, Lynn directly called out Ifgrid!
As Ifgrid turned from virtual to real and appeared from the void, thousands of flying leaves suddenly burst out from the treetops!
Boom! !
The whole sky seemed to be flooded with green, and dense flying leaves were like a rain of arrows, pouring down from the sky, directly towards Lori and Thomas! Lynn attacked without reservation, and poured out all his strength right from the start!
Each of these flying leaves is comparable to the attack of a second-level wizard, forming an overwhelming suppressive blow.
Let alone Thomas, a mere Level 2 wizard, even an experienced Level 3 wizard like Lori had to be on high alert and not be too arrogant! A huge sense of oppression came over them, and the two of them didn't even care about the natural wizard, letting her fall from mid-air! "Level 3 Magic: Sky Chasing Flash!"
Lin En moved, and the wind energy outside his body surged. He turned into a wind shadow and flashed to the side of the natural wizard in an instant, holding him in his arms.
The next moment, the shadow of the wind flashed again, and Lin En had returned to the back of the black dragon with his men! High in the sky, Lin En looked cold, overlooking the two enemies on the top of the mountain.
Thomas' body had been pierced by dense flying leaves, blood was dripping, and he was dead on the spot!
Lori struggled to hold on, his body covered in blood, his face as pale as paper, he glared at Lin in the air, gnashing his teeth and growling:
"You...you angered the Malorne family...they won't let you go..."
However, Lin En looked indifferent and didn't even bother to respond.
He just flicked his fingers.
The next moment, the crown of the Ifgrid tree exploded again, and thousands of flying leaves swept down again like a tide!
Boom!!! The screams were drowned out by the green, and Lori’s figure was instantly swallowed up, along with the mountaintop, which fell into dead silence.
The battle ends here, easily and carefree.
Even the Silver-Ash Great Wizard under the Aquila Constellation, who brought so many elite second-level wizards to fight against a smaller number, was easily wiped out by Lin En.
Not to mention the configuration of a third-level wizard and a second-level wizard in front of him...
Lin En stood steadily on the back of the black dragon, looked around, then ordered it to land, quickly cleaned up the battlefield and searched for corpses.
He did not take lightly the risks posed by the two deaths.
After the battle, Lynn keenly noticed that the bodies of the two wizards did indeed have marks of advanced tracking magic. If not handled properly, it would most likely attract the investigation of the Malorne family.
"It's a bit troublesome..."
Lin En's mind moved, and he summoned the Spirit Eye Wizard from the [Scale].
Lin En controlled the Spirit Eye Wizard to actively receive the tracking mark, allowing those detecting spells to "bite" it.
After the mark was completely transferred, he once again put the Spirit Eye Wizard into the [Scale] to completely block his traces.
In this way, no matter how hard the Malorne family pursued him, they would not be able to find Lynn's true whereabouts.
As for him, he had already ridden away on a dragon, his figure disappearing among the mountains and the sea of clouds...
………………………………
After returning to Five Star City, Lin En stayed in his own residence. Apart from asking Jess to buy him another teleportation ticket, he had no communication with the outside world.
During this time, Lynn had been trying to figure out the collar around the natural wizard's neck.
It took him a little effort since he didn't get the code of the collar from the two wizards of the Malorne family.
After all, there is a concern that forceful destruction may damage this natural wizard.
However, technically speaking, it is not very difficult to crack this collar.
So two days passed, and Lin En successfully cracked the slave collar. As long as he took it off, the natural wizard would regain his sanity.
However, he did not rush to release the slave collar, but stepped onto the teleportation array to leave Five Star City.
Located in a corner of Five Star City, there is a rather large square with people coming and going.
In every corner of the square, there are teleportation arrays connecting to other places.
Lin En took the natural wizard directly towards the teleportation array in the direction of Liuyun Tower.
After waiting for a while, Lin En successfully stepped onto the teleportation array to leave here without any trouble. The thick silver-white teleportation runes kept flashing, as if one small snake after another was slowly moving.
Boom! A violent burst of light exploded, engulfing Lin En and the people around him, and they disappeared.
A few days after Lynn left Five Star City, the Malorne family finally arrived.
They angrily rushed to Five Star City, but by then Lin En had already left and was heading towards the location of the Furnace Stone...
