Chapter 16: The Tribulation

After a full night of continuous flights over the sea, the continent was in sight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Everyone, including Linda, jumped for joy. After spending most of the night together, Linda has forgotten her grief for a while and gradually integrated into this small group.

Crossing the coastline was a vast plain, and Mark found that as he entered the coastline, the population immediately began to become dense, with endless farms and villages, and bustling towns and cities, a world of difference from the fact that Suman Island could not be seen for hundreds of miles. The cities here are very large, and even the smallest city that Mark has seen is several times the size of the Antar King Capital.

In the past few days, Gruson has never said a word except for the simple food and water that was distributed to Mark, Zhou Botian, Milley and Linda on time, but he used the crystal ball from time to time to collect some signals, and often sent out some signals. Mark doesn't know much about these methods of wizards, but he also understands that this is a kind of transmission of information from wizards before.

Something special must have happened. Mark thought to himself.

"Wow-Linda, I just found out that these feathers on your head are so beautiful. Mile, who was away for the first time, began to make a fuss again.

"Hee-hee, of course, this is the tail feathers of a first-class creature. My father used three strong warriors and a sneak attack to barely kill one. How's it going?, is it good-looking?" Linda posed several poses for Millay, envious of Millay to death.

"Yes!

"Well, I'll give you one, stick it in your hat or hair, ordinary mosquitoes and monsters don't dare to get close. Linda graciously plucked a feather and handed it to Milley.

"Thank you Linda! you're so nice!" said Mile, excitedly taking the feather and carefully sticking it on her head.

Mark watched them from the side, smiling silently, he didn't say much, he spent most of his time listening, he had been in this world for less than a year, and he still had a lot to learn. For example, the falling mountain eagle that Linda mentioned just now is actually a first-level creature, which should be very powerful. Looking at the two elated girls, Mark smiled as well.

After another four days of non-stop flight, Mark and the others finally flew over the plain and into the mountains covered with dense forests.

"Wow - look, that little bird over there, so cute. Linda tugged at Mark's sleeve and pointed at the strange bird in the distance.

"Linda, open your eyes and see where this bird is small, and it can swallow at least three of you with one mouth. Zhou Botian opened his mouth and said, in the past few days, several people have gotten along day and night, talking about ideals and the future, and it has reached the point where they have nothing to talk about.

"Quack-quack-" The cute little bird pointed out by Linda quickly spotted the giant bat that Mark and the others were riding, flapped its wings and turned a corner, and rushed over without hesitation.

"Ahh

"Uh-" Mark watched as Milley opened his mouth to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard a loud "bang-" sound.

I saw that the bird seemed to have hit an invisible cover, its long pointed beak crooked to the side, and its feathers splashed all over its body, as if it had directly knocked out and fell straight down.

"No wonder we were flying so fast in the air that we couldn't feel a hint of wind, it turned out that there was such a protective shield outside. Zhou Botian was stunned and looked at the strange bird that fell.

Shield, or maybe it's an energy shield, Mark glanced at Grusen, thinking silently.

At this time, Grusen, who had been meditating for several days and had barely moved, received another message, and after reading it, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke:

"Little cubs, there's not too good news that Storm Grey Tower has declared war on Grey Tower of Liberty. And the latter part of the journey happens to be within the scope of the war zone. ā€

"Declare - declare war? Liberis Gray Tower - isn't that us?" Zhou Botian walked around for a long time, and finally reacted. His face turned pale in an instant: "We're not going to hang up before we enter the Gray Tower, right?"

"Hey, hey, hey, there is a rule in the Holy Tower that you are not allowed to shoot at newcomers who have been in school for less than ten years. But frankly, this rule is basically equivalent to nonsense, does a wizard need to do it himself if he wants to solve the problem of you newcomers?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and after half a ring, Mark asked:

"So that means that no matter what the circumstances, the wizards of the Storm Gray Tower will never take the initiative to attack us?"

Grusen was slightly stunned when he heard Mark's words, and turned his head to look at Mark with interest: "It can be understood so much. ā€

"And may I ask Mr. Grusson, how long will it be before we get to the Grey Tower of Liberis?" asked Mark as he thought for a moment.

"At the fastest speed of this bat puppet, it will take at least three days. ā€

Hearing Gruson's answer, Linda and Milley's faces turned pale, three days, three days of death.

"But don't be too nervous, I will definitely not dare to come and smoke with my wizard apprentice, if there is an official wizard, his target must be me, with me to lure them away, plus this puppet's energy shield, under normal circumstances, you can return to the Gray Tower safely."

"Normal?" Mark smiled wryly, it was really unreliable. But there is still a glimmer of life.

"In addition, the Liblis Grey Tower Patrol is coming to our aid, and we can join them as long as we hold on for the first two days. And the last day's journey is basically within the absolute defense range of my Gray Tower. ā€

Grusen said lightly, his tone was not emotional, it seemed that it was just a trivial matter to him, and in fact it was indeed the case, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced such a small fight in his three hundred years of wizarding career. Where is the fierce life-and-death struggle between wizards and wizards for resources between wizards and wizards?

After this little episode, Linda was no longer in the mood to laugh, and kept her eyes wide open all day long, for fear that a group of wizards from the Storm Gray Tower would come out of nowhere. However, I have to say that the first day was lucky, and the road was peaceful.

The next afternoon, just as Linda and the others were secretly glad that they should be fine, Gruson suddenly laughed loudly:

"Since you're here, come out quickly, what are you doing hiding like a shrunken turtle?"

As Grusen's words came out in the distance, two wizards, one older and one younger, gradually appeared in the air, each of them with a magic carpet floating under them, holding a strange egg-shaped device in their hands, it seemed that it was because of the egg-shaped device that their whole body turned into the color of the sky, and they really couldn't see it if they didn't pay attention.

The gray robes on the two of them were slightly different from Gruson's, and they both had a conspicuous gold stripe on their collars. Seeing the golden stripes on the two of them, Grusen's face sank suddenly.

"I really look up to using two official wizards to intercept me. ā€

"Hehe-he-the battle wizard of the Grey Tower of Liberty is ranked seventh in combat power, so we can't afford not to pay attention to it. ā€

"You two are not my opponents. ā€

"Hahaha - we don't need to be your opponent, and our target is not you, if the number of apprentices recruited by Liberis is not enough these few times, I don't know if it will affect the battle of Santa once every hundred years?

"Hmph-" Hearing this, the calm Grusen suddenly became angry, and he didn't know when a group of small bats had under his feet, carrying him lightning towards the two wizards of the Storm Gray Tower.

Mark noticed that Gruson's hands had turned into bat-like claws, and the whole person seemed to have grown taller. The two wizards of the Storm Gray Tower looked at Grusen's momentum and changed slightly, and hurriedly separated left and right, the staff in their hands flew up and down, and fought with Grusen.

In just a moment's effort, with the rapidly advancing bat puppet, Mark and the others could no longer see the battle scene in the distance, but Grusen's strength had been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the four of them, and they were not afraid to face the two official wizards joining forces. Mark couldn't help but look forward to the Grey Tower of Liberty, the seventh-ranked wizards were already so powerful, so how strong should the first-ranked one be.

Just as the four of them were immersed in the scene just now, the sky suddenly darkened, and a dark cloud in the distance approached the bat puppet that Mark and the others were riding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mark quickly realized that something was wrong: "No! It's not a cloud, it's -- a flock of birds, such a big flock of birds!"

Soon Linda and the others also found out that something was wrong, and several people's faces turned white.

"This is the Traceless Bird!Yes, it is the Traceless Bird, the equivalent of the Traceless Bird at the level of the seventh-level reserve warrior!" Linda screamed, "We're dead!"

Seeing this, Mark suddenly remembered the words of Wizard Grusen: If a wizard wants to solve you newcomers, do you still need to do it yourself?

Zhou Botian stared at the traceless bird that was almost in front of him with round little eyes, and stammered: "We have a protective shield, it should be- it should be fine, right?"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a loud noise, and countless traceless birds crashed into the protective cover. Countless Traceless Birds fell into the sky due to the impact, but many more Traceless Birds desperately crashed into it.

Mark's eyes suddenly flashed gray, and several fist-sized objects suddenly smashed through the protective shield, which was the egg of the Traceless Bird, and the egg fell on the deck and shattered immediately, and the egg white and yolk were smashed to the ground. Looking at this scene, Mark's eyes shrank, and then he turned his head to look for the gray shadow, and he couldn't find it. And the countless traceless birds that had passed through the bat puppets seemed to sense something, and immediately turned their heads and rushed desperately towards Mark and them.

The huge bat puppet was still moving forward according to Gruson's pre-adjusted route without hesitation, and Mark and the others didn't know how to control the bat puppet at all, so they could only watch the traceless bird frantically attacking the shield outside the shield. It didn't take long for an alarm to sound, and the color of the pale blue shield was fading. It seems that it is almost unbearable.

"We're dead!" Zhou Botian sighed and squatted down with his head in his hands. Although he was a sixth-level warrior, he had no room to resist in the face of endless Traceless Birds. Except for Mark, all of the four people present were pale faced, waiting for the moment to come.

"I can't wait any longer, there must be a way! there must be a way!" Mark muttered to himself, his blank eyes brushing the ends of Linda's hair, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Maybe I have a way, and with a bit of luck we can get away with it!" Mark said unconsciously clenching his hands.

"What's the solution?" Linda stepped forward eagerly, she was the only one of the four standing besides Mark.

"Linda, the feathers on your head, you said that they are the tail feathers of the falling eagle, as long as you carry this feather on your body, some low-level flying insects, birds and beasts will not dare to approach?"

"Huh, yes!" Linda stomped her foot, quickly took off two feathers from her head, and handed one to Mark and Zhou Botian.
