"Senior! Miss Lori was recently... taken away by a group of elves! Please, you must save her!"
"Um?!"
Upon hearing this, even Lynn felt a chill run down his spine, and a murderous intent surged within him.
If a human wizard comes to the prison to arrest someone, it could also be to bail them out.
So those elven wizards came here entirely for their own selfish desires.
Or they come here to capture some beautiful witches to play with and vent their frustrations;
Or they come here to grab some experimental materials to cut up and do experiments.
But no matter what those elven wizards were doing here, Lori's fate after being captured by them wouldn't be good.
This is why Lynn, despite being so far away, still unleashed a terrifying killing intent upon hearing the news.
The Spirit Eye Wizard, who was under his control, also unleashed a terrifying killing intent. Upon seeing this, the Flame Edge Wizard, who was standing nearby, was suddenly struck by a thought.
"Those elves were randomly arresting people, but I never expected they'd catch someone connected to this Spirit-Eyed Wizard..."
"Judging from the Spirit-Eyed Wizard's current behavior, it seems that the little witch named Lori is very important? If so, is she going to cause trouble for those elven wizards?"
"It seems things are about to get chaotic up there... But what does that have to do with me? I'm peacefully cultivating in this prison, and I even hope things get chaotic up there so they won't bother me with their cultivation..."
Of course, although the Flamebringer Wizard secretly hoped that the other party would cause trouble for the elves, he still took the initiative to speak up and clear himself of suspicion:
“Spirit-Eye Wizard, I remember that the Morning Star Wizard of the Elven race did come to the prison a few days ago. At that time, he wanted to take away too many people, and there was some friction between us…”
"But the elves are, after all, allies of my Meteor Council, so I have no choice but to let them pass..."
These words served two purposes: to exonerate himself and to clarify his stance.
If the Spirit Eye Wizard were to fight the Elves to the death, the Flame Blade Wizard wouldn't mind standing on the Spirit Eye Wizard's side. After all, he had long been annoyed by the Elves' experimentation on human wizards.
Though separated by a great distance, Lynn suppressed the killing intent within him and simultaneously restrained the killing intent emanating from the Spirit Eye Wizard, speaking to the Flame Blade Wizard:
"Wizard Yanfeng, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take them away first."
As soon as the Spirit Eye Wizard finished speaking, the Flame Blade Wizard raised his hand and waved it. Three beams of fire elemental light suddenly appeared and landed on Daven, Martha, and Chris respectively.
The fire element transformed into gentle flames, which burst open softly, and a faint warmth seeped into the three people's bodies.
That's a sign that the prisoner's restraints have been lifted.
“Spirit-Eyed Wizard, I have removed all the restrictions on them for you. You may take them with you at any time. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”
The Flamebringer Wizard nodded in acknowledgment, and then his entire body transformed into a blazing flame, disappearing into the depths of the prison.
Freed from the shackles of the restraints, Davin, Martha, and Chris seemed to awaken from a long nightmare, and were all somewhat dazed for a moment.
Davin was thrilled, and couldn't help but sneer inwardly: "Brother Lynn! I knew you wouldn't get into trouble!"
"To be able to associate with this Morning Star Wizard... it seems you're doing even better than I thought!"
Martha felt as if she were in a dream.
She had participated in that interdimensional expedition with Lynn and witnessed the final, brutal battle.
Lynn did not evacuate with the troops from the Mechanical City, nor did he step onto the teleportation array.
In her view, that meant certain death.
But now, he heard from a powerful Morning Star wizard that Lynn was safe and sound...
She found it hard to believe, yet she vaguely felt that only in this way could Lynn's incredible behavior during that expedition back then be explained.
If Lynn is indeed connected to a wizard at the Morning Star level, then it wouldn't be a miracle that he was able to leave that battlefield alive.
In contrast, Archmage Chris's situation was much more disheveled.
Her long, wine-red hair was disheveled and her beautiful face was covered in dust, yet it still couldn't hide her astonishing aura as a third-level witch.
At this moment, however, she was completely confused and lost in thought.
"Lynn...who is Lynn? Someone who could get the Morning Star Wizard to come forward, I have absolutely no recollection of him..."
She racked her brains, and when she saw the subtle expressions on Davin and Martha's faces, a daring guess suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Could it be... Davin's friend? It seems... there really is a kid named Lynn."
I had sworn to protect him, but due to orders from higher command, he was still forced to the front lines…
She was stunned for a long time.
"I never imagined that what I did back then—helping him out of respect for my junior brother—would turn out to save my own life..."
Watching the Flameblade Wizard depart, Lynn controlled the Spirit Eye Wizard to look at the three of them and learned that Lori's safety was still uncertain.
Therefore, Lynn naturally didn't notice the dazed look on the faces of his three old friends, and simply said:
"Since I promised that little Lynn to save you, I naturally won't abandon you... From now on, you'll stay by my side..."
After finishing speaking, seeing the expressions on Davin's, Martha's, and the others' faces, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard spoke first:
"By the way, little Lynn isn't in the Nightmare Rift Valley. He's out there hopping around, so you don't need to worry about him."
Martha and Davin were somewhat disappointed by these words from the Morning Star Wizard, but they still nodded obediently.
After all, being enveloped by the Mechanical City's grand formation and constantly having one's spiritual energy absorbed was extremely uncomfortable.
Now that a senior Morningstar wizard is willing to rescue them, they are naturally very cooperative.
call out!
With a flick of his robe, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard enveloped Davin, Martha, and Chris with a burst of spiritual energy.
"I'll take you out first, and then we'll figure out a way to rescue that little witch named Lori... You can call me Senior Spirit Eye."
"Yes, Senior Spirit Eye!"
The next moment, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard, along with Davin and the other two, transformed into a beam of light and headed towards the location of the teleportation array.
During this time, Lynn controlled the Spirit Eye Wizard while also plotting how to rescue Lori.
He had dealt with that group of elves himself, and they were known to be unruly and difficult to get along with.
Even if I lower my stance, I know that the elven wizards won't cooperate and hand Lori over to me if I control the Spirit Eye Wizard.
Since lowering one's attitude is useless, there is only one method left: to intimidate others by force.
Those elves considered themselves nobles and looked down on humans, but in reality, they were merely intimidated by power and lacked any sense of morality.
Once they demonstrate sufficient strength, the elven wizards will be able to set aside their so-called elven arrogance and understand human speech.
However, the issue lies in the comparison of combat strength.
Lynn himself has just broken through to the Morning Star Wizard level, and is among the weakest of the Morning Star Wizards. If he were to fight against these elven wizards, he would probably lose more often than he wins.
Moreover, since his true form is currently outside, Lynn can at most control the Spirit Eye Wizard to fight against those elven wizards.
However, even though the Spirit-Eyed Wizard was a veteran Morning Star Wizard, his true consciousness had been suppressed by Lynn.
Now that the Spirit Eye Wizard's body is controlled by Lynn's consciousness, if he doesn't fight and merely pretends to be the Spirit Eye Wizard, relying on the power of the scales, there will naturally be no problem.
However, once you fight a Morning Star Wizard of the same level, it will be very troublesome, and it might be better for Lynn to do it himself.
After all, the most important thing for a Morning Star Wizard is the power of rules, and the power of rules that a Spirit Eye Wizard comprehends is entirely within his own consciousness.
Lynn controlled the other's body, but he couldn't use the other's power of rules. At most, he could only use the fourth-level witchcraft mark within the body, and that was all.
"In the battle against the fourth-level Morning Star Wizard, my strategy was to outnumber the enemy... that is, for me and the Spirit Eye Wizard to fight together, two against one, thus compensating for the weakness of my main body..."
"But my true form is currently 108,000 miles away, and something seems amiss in the Nightmare Rift Valley... If I were to risk coming in..."
Lynn was also somewhat hesitant, and as he flew, he began to make plans in his mind.
"Whether I should come in or not is a matter for further consideration... The most urgent thing is to contact my connections among the elves and see if I can find any information about Lori..."
Although the Spirit-Eyed Wizard had no connection with the wind spirits, Lynn himself did have some connection with them.
Lina, the level-two elven witch who had served him, and Lori, the princess from the wind elf clan.
Both of them are female elves, and both are relatively gentle in nature. We can definitely rely on these two to investigate.
………………………………
The Machinery City is divided into seven levels from bottom to top.
The seventh floor, the highest point, is inhabited only by the most esteemed Morning Star Wizards of the Meteor Council.
As a Morning Star powerhouse, the Spirit Eye Wizard is naturally qualified to be here; the Elven Morning Star Wizards of the same rank also enjoy this honor.
In a towering building on the seventh floor, metal gears and magical patterns intertwine to create a typical mechanical wizard style.
Originally, this was the private residence of a Morning Star Archmage in the Mechanical City, but now it has become a temporary stronghold for the Wind Elf race.
One floor of the building was crudely converted into a bar by the elves.
The elven wizards and witches drank freely here, behaving as if they were in their own territory.
Among the many elven witches, one elven woman wearing a tight-fitting short skirt that revealed a large expanse of fair skin stood out, almost becoming the source of light in this noisy scene.
Her appearance combined the elegance of the elves with a touch of alluring charm, as if the aura of angels and devils were intertwined within her.
She chuckled as she moved among the elven wizards, her demeanor natural yet subtly provocative.
This radiant witch was none other than Lina, the second-level elf witch who had once served Lynn.
However, just as she was having a great time, a faint mental fluctuation suddenly emanated from her communication token.
"Huh? Who would message me at this hour?"
Lina, slightly impatient, probed into it with her mental energy.
The next instant, her delicate eyebrows twitched.
It was Dieter, that fat and annoying wizard.
"Hmph, I finally got a few days off, what does this fatso want from me again?"
With a hint of complaint, she casually opened the message.
But after just one glance, she froze instantly.
"Morning... Morning Star Wizard wants to see me? Spirit Eye Wizard? Isn't that Green Forest Wizard's teacher?!"
The overwhelming shock left her breathless.
"Are you kidding me? How could such an important person specifically ask me for a meeting?"
Could it be... because of the Green Forest Wizard? But I have no idea where he is right now!
I took the initiative to approach him, but he completely ignored me…
“Ever since the battle at Nightmare Rift Valley, I’ve tried to contact Wizard Qinglin, but there’s been no news at all… Could it be that Lord Spirit Eyes thinks I’m related to Wizard Qinglin’s disappearance?”
Lina's mind was filled with the word "bad news," and her heart was pounding.
"It's broken! It's broken! It's completely broken!"
She had no more desire to drink and have fun, and immediately squeezed out of the bar crowd, walking hurriedly, even somewhat flustered.
She found a secluded and quiet place, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to answer the summons of the Spirit-Eyed Wizard.
call out!
Lina connected with the Spirit Eye Wizard, and a figure wearing a black wizard's robe, whose face was completely covered by a hood, appeared.
Even though it was just a visual image, the pair of pale eyes under the hood still made Lina tremble and she quickly bowed.
"Lina greets Lord Spirit Eye! May I ask what business Lord Spirit Eye has with me...? I haven't seen Lord Qinglin for a long time and know nothing about him..."
Lina was under immense psychological pressure and was on the verge of collapse when she said these words.
If it were any other Morning Star wizard, they would probably be displeased by these words and punish Lina.
However, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard was under Lynn's control at the moment, and the most urgent task was to find out information about Lori. Therefore, he would not punish the little witch Lina just because she was nervous.
To comfort Lina and calm her down, Lynn even controlled the Spirit Eye Wizard to speak:
"I came to find you not because of my student Qinglin. In fact, Qinglin is safe now, just not inside the Nightmare Rift Valley..."
Hearing what the Spirit-Eyed Wizard said, Lina was slightly taken aback; the Lord Qinglin was indeed still alive.
At the same time, she had a new question: since the Spirit Eye Wizard already knew about Lord Qinglin.
So why would the other person still contact you?
After all, she was just a lowly level two elf witch. What could she possibly have to do with this Spectral Eye, a wizard of the Morning Star level?
"My coming to find you is related to Qinglin... He asked me to find a human little witch named Lori, which is just like your princess Lori..."
"And not long ago, she was captured by an elven wizard, so I need you to help me check on Lori's current situation..." (End of Chapter)
