Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard Margaret's words.

"Your Highness Margaret, are we about to set off?" Simon let go of the spoon in his hand and asked.

"Yes, I have dealt with a lot of things during this period, and it is time to leave." Margaret nodded slightly and said, "The annual festival will last for a long time. This way, there will be enough time for me to rush back before the end of the annual festival."

Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. They all knew that the reason they were treated so warmly by Margaret was because she needed their help. Under such circumstances, they naturally could not refuse, not to mention that they would each receive the generous rewards promised by Margaret.

"The specific time." Maureen glanced at Margaret and spoke lightly.

"Tonight."

Margaret pursed her lips slightly and said, "It won't be too attractive at night. The time is just right. Let's go down and rest for a while, and then set off to the Aoair Wizard Laboratory."

Margaret spoke calmly, but everyone could hear a hint of urgency in her voice.

Simon and Eisen looked at each other and nodded to each other, accepting it, and Maureen didn't have much objection.

After taking the healing potion, his injuries have almost recovered, and some minor injuries do not affect his ability to perform at all.

After Margaret and Maureen agreed on the time to leave, she separated from Maureen and the others and prepared for what to do next.

Morin returned to the room and put the things he had prepared earlier into his void pocket. He turned his head and looked at Sophie's room. Sensing that Sophie had fallen into a deep sleep, he frowned slightly.

He knew that Sophie's identity was not simple. After returning to the room, he extended his senses and carefully checked Sophie's condition. The result was the same as before, and there was nothing else found.

But Sophie couldn't be just an ordinary little girl.

Maureen exhaled lightly, his heart moved slightly, and he secretly cast many unique and secret witchcraft on Sophie.

Soon, it was time for Margaret to gather everyone. Maureen, Simon and others gathered together and found that Margaret was already waiting for them.

Next to it was a carriage, but it was not pulled by ordinary war horses. Instead, it was pulled by four majestic and tall strange horse beasts with black and purple scales, and bursts of green flames constantly coming out of their noses.

"This is a blue-scaled horse, a creature that has been transformed through blood witchcraft. It is very suitable for wizards to travel." Margaret gave a brief introduction and let everyone get on the carriage.

Through some secret channels, the carriage left the city of Taya silently and then disappeared into the night.

Everyone in the carriage was very quiet; they all knew about the mission in advance.

A day later, the carriage stopped outside an ordinary forest.

Morin and the others got off the carriage and looked carefully at the forest in front of them.

"This forest is just a concealing witchcraft circle, a cover." Margaret said to everyone.

She recited the witchcraft language, and at the same time, her fingers kept changing, making strange and unique witchcraft gestures. As Margaret moved like this, thick fog soon rose in the forest and gradually enveloped the entire forest.

The fog was still thick, the forest seemed to have disappeared, but in the center of the fog, a path paved with gray-white pebbles appeared.

The path winds forward, and no one knows where it leads.

"Okay, let's go." Margaret said, and took the lead to walk forward.

Simon and Eisen looked at each other, and without any doubts, they followed. Maureen also followed slowly from behind.

The path was not long. After a while, Morin and his friends reached the end of the path and appeared outside a white stone gate inlaid with a huge copper ring.

Margaret walked forward, picked up the copper ring gently, and knocked twice on the stone door.

Bang bang.

After a moment's silence, the entire stone gate suddenly shook, and faint sounds of laughter could be heard.

"Wow, welcome, welcome. You are so welcome. Visitors, is this one or two?"

Suddenly, a clown with thick oil paint on his face jumped out from the stone gate. Only the upper body of the clown was visible, while the lower body was hidden in the stone gate. The expression on his face was exaggerated, and his lips were stretched very long by red oil wax, which made his mouth look particularly big, as if he would swallow Morin and the others in front of him in one bite.

The clown's smile was very distorted. He made some weird gestures with his hands and laughed.

"What?" Simon and Eisen were both stunned.

"Candace Afilias Susnagamen..."

Margaret was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and recited a few witchcraft spells.

"Oh no, this clown is very powerful, I can't kill him directly, come and help me..." The expression on Margaret's face changed.

At this moment, a vague shadow suddenly flashed in the air.

Faintly, you can see a huge creature that looks like a dragon and a snake flash by. It moves its head slightly and swallows the clown in one gulp.

Morin slowly dispersed the witchcraft casting gestures in his hands, and his face looked calm.

Margaret and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at Maureen with strange eyes.

Although they did not see how Morin made his move, Morin's strength was evident just now.

Looking forward, the clown had turned into a stone statue frozen on the stone gate. He was still smiling strangely, but a hint of fear subconsciously flashed in his eyes. Unfortunately, he died before he could react or do anything.

The color of the stone statue gradually changed from white to black, like a deep diamond. Finally, the stone statue exploded with a bang and scattered all over the ground.

"Huh? These stones..." Margaret looked at the stones and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"What's wrong?"

Maureen turned around and glanced at Margaret beside her.

"Nothing, I just think these black stones are a little strange." Margaret said, "These black stones seem to be the legendary dark magic stones."

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Margaret began to explain, "Legend has it that there was once a terrible tide of darkness in the world. Countless ferocious beasts and monsters rushed out from the endless darkness and began to slaughter all living things in the world, wanting to turn the entire wizarding world into their hunting ground."

"This is the dark tide that brings nightmares to countless lives."

"At that time, the supernatural power was weak, wizards were still in the process of enlightenment, and the wizard system was not yet mature. Just when everything was extremely critical, the origin of all witchcraft, the great wizard ancestor, appeared. The wizard ancestor killed countless monsters by himself, and signed a contract with the monster leaders, making the monsters retreat, bringing hope of survival to the wizard world."

"Although the monsters have retreated, some of their powerful resources have been lost in the wizarding world. The most famous of these is the Dark Magic Stone."

"Dark magic stones are very important to monsters. Not only can they restore their strength and spellcasting abilities, but they are also key materials used for various research and alchemy."

“I didn’t expect there would be one here.”

Margaret said this, squatting down, picking up the black stones and looking at them carefully.

She looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Morin waved his hand slightly and took a black stone out of thin air in his hand. Then he exerted a little force with his palm and crushed the black stone into pieces.

"It's not the dark magic stone. The dark magic stone is very hard and very bright inside. It won't fall apart so easily." Morin said as he slowly loosened his hand. Countless black stone powders fell from his palm.

He saw a lot of knowledge in Gintama's hand, but he didn't react just now. After hearing Margaret's words, Morin understood it in his heart, and naturally knew how to judge it.

"Yeah, it's not the dark magic stone." Margaret smiled.

"Okay, let's go."

Margaret called Simon and Eisen, then she took the lead and walked into the gate.

What appeared in front of everyone was an empty white square paved with stone slabs, which looked very grand and prosperous.

Just when Morin and the others appeared, the stone slabs in the square suddenly floated up, slowly rising and falling, as if undulating in the waves.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The white mist was thick, and thick purple vines suddenly rushed out from the stone slabs. In the blink of an eye, countless vines completely covered the entire sky.

"It's Karlsvine, the legendary vine of death!"

Simon looked at those vines that looked like snakes, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly.

Turning around, they saw that the white gate had disappeared at some point, and only they and the countless vines in front of them were in the same space.

"Alright everyone."

"Let the fighting begin!"

Margaret took a deep breath and her expression became serious.

…………

Outside.

White stone gate.

Because the stone statue exploded, a hole appeared on the entire white stone door, so it looked tattered and messy.

Countless black gravel scattered on the ground added a sense of disarray.

Suddenly, the black gravel on the ground began to tremble and began to emit a faint black light. At this time, the black gravel became brighter and brighter, like countless stars.

Then the black rubble suddenly disappeared, and the white gate began to slowly wriggle and recover on its own.

Not long after, the entire white door returned to its previous appearance, with no sign of abnormality at all.

The white mist began to fluctuate.

It was quiet.

It was quiet all around.
