The Emerald Tower, inside a large hall.

"F, Mrs. Florence," Andy, kneeling at the foot of the stone steps, trembled uncontrollably as he looked down at the two mentors looking down at him, "He, Lord Hearst. ”

The spiritual coercion from the upper wizard, even if the other party did not deliberately release the pressure on him at all, it was not something that his spiritual power could bear.

"You should have a lot to say to me, and I'll give you five minutes."

It was a dignified and beautiful lady who was sitting on a stone noble chair at the moment, casually admiring her slender nails. The silky dress, which is as smooth and soft as a waterfall, is dragged on the ground, looking down from above, like a blooming rose.

Rather than using the word beautiful to describe her, it would be better to compare her to a work of art. In fact, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that her mutton fat jade skin exudes a faint vitreous sheen, just like the jeweled diamond ring she wears on her ten fingers.

The apprentices of the Emerald Tower preferred to call her Lady Jewel by her name in private rather than Mrs. Florence.

Standing next to her was Hearst, his face gloomy and dripping.

The Jade Tower Mentor, who is also a six-star wizard, is not as famous as Madame Jewel, and his appearance looks no different from ordinary people. But this is only because he is low-key, and his strength is quite famous among the mentors of the entire Emerald Tower.

In the face of pressure from these two, Andy's teeth kept chattering, where could he say a word?

Florence sighed and put away the slender nails of her right hand.

"You scared the hell out of our little one."

Hearst, who was expressionless, stared at Andy who was kneeling on the ground for a long time, and suddenly looked at Florence.

"He violated the precepts of the Emerald Tower, and he will die anyway, so let me squeeze the rest of his value."

Florence waved her hand and said in a tone of boredom, "Whatever you want." ”

The corners of Hearst's mouth curled imperceptibly, and there was a hint of coldness in his gaze at Andy. I saw that he drew his index finger in the air, and a pitch-black crack opened, and a strange-looking scarecrow fell out of the spatial crack and fell into his hand.

Seeing the crudely made scarecrow doll, Andy was so frightened that he left snot and tears together, and retreated in panic.

"You, I'll tell you whatever you want to know, please, don't-"

"Enough. When I pull your soul out, those dirty secrets will naturally be shaken out one by one. Expressionless, Hearst raised his right hand. Expressionless, Hearst raised his right hand.

In the agonizing struggle, Andy's soul was torn apart, turned into a milky white air mass that pulled out of the seven orifices and burrowed into the scarecrow in Hearst's hands.

When the last trace of soul energy was withdrawn, Andy, who was robbed of his soul, was like a walking corpse, kneeling on the ground with blank eyes.

Tucking the scarecrow that sealed Andy's soul into his sleeve, Hurst waved his hand, and a flame ignited from under Andy's feet, burning the body that had become an empty shell, leaving nothing to ashes.

"I'm angry, don't sprinkle it on my precious students later, they're innocent." Looking at the pool of wind-blown ashes at the foot of the stone steps, Florence sighed and glanced sideways at the expressionless Hearst, "What's more, we also have a certain responsibility for this matter, but I didn't expect to send an apprentice to the forest to attract the attention of the dark wizard." The academy has already dispatched wizards from the combat department to investigate the ruins, and the Rock and Earth Cave will also send personnel to assist, so we don't need to worry about the rest. ”

Hearst's face was as gloomy as ever, but he nodded anyway.

In the Emerald Tower, the Jewel Lady is notoriously protective of his shortcomings, and if he hadn't been disappointed in Andy's betrayal, he wouldn't have been left to her own devices. She agreed to this matter unusually, which can be regarded as a little discouragement for him.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the main hall, and a white figure appeared at the door of the main hall.

Shelley, whose eyes were wrapped in ribbons and dressed in a white wizard's robe, slowly walked to the stone steps and respectfully knelt down on one knee.

"Madame Florence, are you looking for me?"

"I just want to ask you something, don't be nervous, you just answer truthfully." Looking at her apprentice, Florence's tone softened slightly.

"Yes, Mentor." Shelley said respectfully.

"I ask you, who saved you from Antru?" Florence asked.

"A neutral wizard." Shelley replied truthfully, "I can't see through his strength, but I know ...... His name is Jiang Feng. ”

A strange color flashed in Florence's eyes.

She still knows a lot about her apprentices. Especially this Shelley, as a once-in-a-century congenital witch of the original tribe of the Fiordland Islands, although she was born blind, she is far beyond ordinary people in terms of breath sensing.

Unless she actively conceals it, even if she is a three-star wizard, she can easily read the strength of her spiritual power with her ability.

"Neutral wizard?" Hearst's brow furrowed slightly, "Why did a neutral wizard come to your aid?" ”

"I don't know," Shelley shook his head blankly, "maybe...... Because he's a good guy? ”

Hurst scoffed, apparently dismissive.

In the wizarding world, there are only cruel laws of the jungle, the fate of the weak is at the mercy of the strong, where is there any so-called "good guy"?

This is true even for white wizards.

"And did you see how he defeated Antru?" Madame Florence continued.

Shelley shook his head: "The situation was urgent, and we were not useful in a battle between official wizards. In order not to hold him back, we retreated first. But ......"

Hearst raised an eyebrow: "But? ”

"But I saw the first sorcery he used. He summoned a lot of pale golden daggers and smashed them at Antru. Shelley hesitated and continued, "Although I haven't seen it, I'm sure it's light magic, and judging by the intensity of the energy fluctuations, it should be between one and two stars. ”

There is nothing left to ask about, only to wait until Hearst tortures Andy's soul.

"You go down first." Florence said to Shelley.

"Yes." Shelley saluted respectfully, turned and exited the main hall.

When Shelley was gone, Florence looked at Hearst.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know," Hearst said expressionlessly, "using light sorcery means that at least it's very unlikely that he's a dark wizard, but I still can't figure out his motives." ”

"Maybe there really is that kind of good old man who sees uneven roads, maybe he can?" Madame Florence teased with the corners of her mouth hooked.

"Huh."

Obviously, Hearst was rather unimpressed by this claim.

……

Arriving at the villa in the suburbs by carriage, Jiang Feng casually threw two silver coins he had just exchanged in the coachman's hand, and then walked in the direction of the villa.

The villa is large, with a garden, a fountain, a small three-storey bungalow, and a detached laboratory. Most of the villas in the vicinity are the same, and this area should belong to the villa area. The people who live here are all wizards, and they are all official wizards with a certain level of strength.

Although dormitories are provided in the Emerald Tower, wizards are inherently solitary professions, and few researchers are willing to live in the dormitories provided by the Academy Card, usually renting a house around the Academy Tower, or simply paying for it.

Without snooping into the lives of his neighbors, Jiang Feng simply inspected the house he had just entered, and after confirming that the previous owner had not left any reconnaissance techniques in the house, he approached the single-family laboratory and closed the door.

At least half of the reason why Jiang Feng chose to buy this villa was because of this kind of laboratory.

The granite walls have good magic element blocking properties, which naturally include space magic elements. But this is not enough, after all, this is in the Wizarding Continent of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, under the nose of the Jade Tower. In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, he immediately took out a few magic stones from the spatial ring, placed fifty in each of the four corners of the wall, and then arranged a simple magic shielding enchantment.

"That should be fine." After everything was done, Jiang Feng clapped his hands, retreated to the door and looked at the laboratory for a few moments, and then took out the inactivated portal from the spatial ring and placed it in the corner of the laboratory.
