"How could such a thing happen? This is a bit unlucky."

"Little ones, come with me, to your room down below, quickly, quickly, there are unexpected guests coming."

Bobby, who was sitting on a recliner, quickly got up and called on the reserve apprentices on the deck to quickly hide in the room specially provided for them below the deck.

When the little kids gathered on the deck heard that bad guys were coming, they hurriedly followed Bobby's instructions and ran to their respective rooms below the deck.

They found a room one by one, hid in the room, closed the door, and watched the movement outside through the small window with anxious eyes.

"Although we are a little bit far from the edge now, there shouldn't be so many blind people, right?"

Taylor is not in a good mood now. Kano and Bobby have been taken back by him. Now he is in the most powerful trinity state.

I originally thought that after completing this mission, I would return to my wizard tower and use my supernatural powers to go to the zombie plane to quickly receive a large amount of wealth, but I didn't expect to encounter a ship hijacker today.

With a pair of golden vertical pupils staring fiercely at a certain direction above the clouds, Taylor spit out his tongue, using his actual actions to tell the other party that he had found the other party's trace.

He threw the elemental puppet core in his hand onto the ground without leaving a trace, and 15 heavily armored knights instantly appeared. The leader was none other than Hawks, the heavily armored knight whom Taylor had high hopes for.

Taylor, who was on high alert, did not know at this moment that the hijackers behind the clouds were a little panicked.

On a small spaceship that was completely black with special witchcraft runes enchanted on its sides and bottom, there were two groups of people, three wearing black robes embroidered with skulls, and three wearing gray robes embroidered with a white forest. They looked a little ugly.

The two groups came from the Skeleton Swamp and the Pale Woods respectively, and both belonged to the forces of dark wizards.

"Look at his eyes and tongue, this guy is a blood wizard, you know what I mean."

The man was wearing a black skull robe. His left eye was a mechanical gear eye and one of his hands looked like the claw of some arthropod. The rest of his body was hidden by the black robe.

The tiny gears in his left eye socket were spinning rapidly, and the pupil-shaped mechanical part in the middle was staring at the woman in gray robe next to him, while the other eye was still staring at Taylor.

The woman in the gray robe had a slim figure. She placed a pair of delicate hands on the shoulders of the man in the black robe. Her charming pink eyes seemed to convey endless desire and friendship.

The snake-like lower body slowly wrapped around the feet of the man in black robe. It was a real snake-like lower body, with fine scales like flower-like patterns. At this moment, even if you only looked at the snake tail of the lower body, it had a different kind of temptation.

The gray-robed woman put her head on the black-robed man's shoulder in an inhuman way. Her brown hair naturally fell on the black robe, full of desire, and the sound like music rang in the black-robed man's ears.

"This proves that this is a very powerful guy... But he is just a young man. How can I be afraid with you here?"

The man in black robe frowned, took a step to the left and broke free from the snake woman's tail. The unintentional movement revealed a bright silver-white reflection under the black robe. Ignoring the snake woman's resentful eyes, he said in a cold voice.

The black-robed man implied that he didn't want to get involved in this mess. If he killed the man, it would be fine. But if he let the man escape, he and the forces behind him would inevitably be hunted down by the most powerful group of white wizards in this plane.

He actually got a pretty good harvest, but it was too little.

Snake shrugged it off as she continued.

"So what if he's strong? After all, there are two of us. Even if he wants to run, he won't be able to escape from two first-level wizards. He is indeed young, but youth also means lack of experience."

"The forces behind you and me don't have many apprentices anymore. Those guys don't know how to be frugal with the apprentices they use. They use so many tricks and now they have lost all the apprentices. If it weren't for this reason, do you think I would come here?"

The snake girl's heart was filled with resentment when she spoke of this, and the man in black robe stiffened when he heard this. He understood that the power behind him had issued a death order, and he must take the apprentice back.

Their original fresh blood has been almost consumed, and if no new blood is injected into them they will face extinction.

"Ah... don't those guys know what the word 'continue' means?"

The man in black robe sighed deeply. He knew what the word "continue" meant. He had always been friendly to his apprentices, except that he would often install some mechanical parts or arms and legs on them.

The Skeleton Swamp where he is is a gathering place for dark wizards. Most of these dark wizards were promoted to first-level wizards through abnormal means, and therefore suffered backlash or even mental pollution, becoming crazy or extremely selfish and indifferent.

Even those who were promoted through normal means had some indescribable quirks.

Apprentices "trained" by wizards like this naturally become like wizards, which leads to an increasing number of mentally ill, selfish and cold-blooded lunatics in Skull Swamp.

This is a vicious cycle, and even all the wizards know that it is a vicious cycle, but they don't care. When they don't have apprentices, they will rob and plunder. When they don't have useful resources, they will plunder. If they are discovered, they will deserve to die. If they are not discovered, they will continue to rob after they have used up all the resources.

"We can't help it. It's the same over here. Once we snatch these apprentices, we can just move to another place. They are just a group of apprentices. Although the White Tower Alliance is the most powerful group of white wizards, they won't go to such trouble with us just for a boatload of apprentices, right?"

While they were talking, alarm bells suddenly rang in their hearts. A thick golden electric current ray broke through the air. The energy intensity of this ray shocked the two of them.

The black-robed man's left hand immediately turned into a round metal shield. The snake girl screamed, and the materialized sonic shield blocked the ray together with the shield.

Under the fierce collision, the clouds that originally served as cover exploded and turned into a large transparent hole.

Taylor withdrew his hand and looked up at the people on the black spaceship. His eyes were solemn but without any fear.
