Immediately afterward, Colf suggested that the closest wizard tower to here was the Emerald Tower, and it happened that everyone was also on the way, so it was better to go there to claim the reward.

The reason why I say this is that Colf actually has his own little abacus in his heart.

There is no doubt that their mission has failed, even the bone refiners know about Aledit's grave, and it is believed that the other dark wizards have also been informed, and soon the forest will attract countless bloodthirsty vultures like a piece of carrion.

But luckily in misfortune, they could throw the pot on the traitor who leaked the news. The important thing now is to leave this forest safely, return to the Emerald Tower, and report the matter to the Mentor.

With an official wizard who is stronger than the Bone Refiner as their bodyguard, they don't have to worry about safety along the way.

His little caution naturally couldn't hide it from Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng didn't say anything, and accepted his proposal smoothly.

Recently, his goal was the Emerald Tower, and Colf's proposal hit him right in.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to lead the way." Jiang Feng said expressionlessly.

Colf bowed respectfully: "It is our honor to be of your service. ”

In this way, the group went on the road together.

For Andy, who had lost his memories related to that battle, Jiang Feng handed over to Colf to take care of. In order to prevent this captive from escaping, when he camped and rested at night, he also placed several prohibitions on this guy, temporarily blocking his ability to perform witchcraft.

Without the help of witchcraft, let alone escape, it is a question of whether or not you can get out of this forest safely.

Looking at Andy, who was as earthy as his face, Jiang Feng didn't bother with his business anymore, and turned around and returned to his tent.

"Speaking of the zero day of the small secret realm, it will end tomorrow, so I have to talk to Yiran."

Thinking in his heart, Jiang Feng edited a message through the brain chip, and sent it to Yi Ran through the subspace wave communication chip, saying that he had found the entrance to a secret realm, and he might stay in this secret realm for a few days, and the safety of the Thorn Garden would be handed over to her.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Feng quickly received a reply from Yi Ran.

【……】

Looking at this string of ellipsis, Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything, and ended the communication.

There are many dangers hidden in the depths of the forest, and this forest is not as calm as it seems.

Along the way, the group encountered a lot of magical beasts, some of which Jiang Feng had seen, some that he had only seen in books, and even those that he had never heard of at all.

One of the most dangerous is a two-year-tall hairy spider that not only spits acid, but also quickly hatches small spiders to besiege its prey.

If these apprentice wizards encountered a magical beast of this level, even if Amus was still alive, it would be a hard battle. However, because of Jiang Feng's thighs, this trouble was naturally easily solved.

A fire burned the nest of the long-haired demon spider, and by the way, he also harvested a few bottles of long-haired demon spider slime, the only regret is that the meat of the insect demon beast Jiang Feng is really physiologically unacceptable, otherwise with the grade of this demon beast, the problem of meat toxicity has been solved, and the cooked food should be able to improve a lot of attribute points.

Not only spider slime, spider silk is also a good material, which can be used to weave clothes and wizard robes, but in comparison, Jiang Feng is much less interested in these materials, and generously gives those spider silks to these apprentices to collect.

In this way, I spent two days and nights in the forest, and except for encountering a few magical beasts, there were no other twists and turns.

But if there is a small episode, there is one thing.

It's about Marianne, the female apprentice with waterfall-like blonde hair and a beautiful face.

It is an eternal truth of nature that females have a crush on powerful males, and it is equally true to humans when it comes to humans, especially in the wizarding world, where the law of the jungle is followed and strength is respected.

Perhaps because of the sense of security he had developed during the journey, Jiang Feng could clearly feel that the sorceress named Marianne was a little too enthusiastic about him.

With Jiang Feng's experience, she naturally won't fail to see that she has a good impression of herself.

However, Jiang Feng didn't have the slightest interest in her, although the gem dragon bloodline amplified the influence of female hormones on him, but he had only vented on a certain kitten for a whole night some time ago, and he didn't have much need for that aspect for the time being.

However, although he was not interested in her, Jiang Feng was still quite interested in the information she was chattering about. And he found that as soon as there was a slightly interested look on her face, she would follow the topic and shake out everything she knew.

“…… The Emerald Tower is one of the most powerful wizard towers in the Arcane Alliance, with more than 10,000 apprentices, and countless official wizards as researchers and mentors. If you're looking for a wizard tower to work with, I highly recommend the Emerald Tower, as we have resources that other wizarding towers don't have. Walking beside Jiang Feng, Marianne put her hands behind her back, her index fingers hooked together, her beautiful eyelashes squinted slightly, and her face was filled with a sweet smile.

"Oh?" Jiang Feng's eyebrows raised with interest.

"For example—"

Marianne was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"Ahem!" Colf coughed vigorously, and then said to Jiang Feng in a slightly apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, honorable wizard, if Marianne continues, there may be a confidentiality contract involved......

"Colef, you are too careful, this news is known to the wizards of the entire Arcane Alliance, and it is not a secret at all." Marianne said disgruntled.

"I know, I say so, but these secrets are only among the White Wizards......" Colf muttered.

"What do you mean?" Marianne narrowed her eyes slightly and said unhappily, "Are you suspecting that Jiang Feng is a dark wizard?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that, I just ......" This time it wasn't embarrassing, Colve's cold sweat flowed, and he glanced at Jiang Feng with some panic, and hurriedly wanted to explain.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Feng spoke.

"It's okay, I can understand your concerns," after a pause, Jiang Feng continued to speak in a gentle tone, "But I'm really interested in the Emerald Tower, and I'm almost tired of wandering around. Without breaking the contract, I want you to tell me something about the Emerald Tower, such as ...... What's going on with that researcher? ”

Hearing that Jiang Feng planned to stay in the Emerald Tower, Marian's eyes flashed with a hint of green joy, and she enthusiastically introduced him to the matter of officially joining the Wizard Tower.

It turns out that in the Wizard Tower, wizards are roughly divided into three classes, namely apprentices, researchers, and mentors.

To use an inappropriate analogy of an ordinary university in the galaxy, an apprentice is equivalent to a college student, a researcher is equivalent to a graduate student, and a mentor is a mentor as the name suggests. After becoming an official wizard, if the apprentice does not have any other special contract, he can apply to complete his course and leave the Wizard Tower to travel to the continent, or he can apply to become a researcher and stay in the Wizard Tower. After becoming a five-star, you can even apply to become a mentor.

Generally speaking, researchers are one-star to three-star wizards, and four-star wizards are rarely seen. Each person has an independent laboratory, and according to the contribution value, they can receive funds or materials, and even enter the secret realm controlled by the academy.

As for that contribution value, it is somewhat similar to the points of Jiang Feng's own research institute, which can be obtained by completing the research topics and tasks of the tutor or the academy.

Along the way, Jiang Feng asked a lot about the researcher, and Marianne also explained enthusiastically. This time Colf didn't interrupt her, just looked at her back, a little subtle and complicated......
