"Ahh......h

Not long after Argus had finished speaking, the howl of a wolf from nearby was getting closer, and one wolf howl after another told the children that there was more than one beast lurking in the darkness.

"No...... It can't really be a werewolf, Ai, Alan?" looked at the woods that were still in the night, and Lisa couldn't help but stutter a little, hiding behind Eren in fear, clutching his robes.

"Please be at ease behind me, beautiful young lady, your knight is ready to swing the sword for you!" While saying this, Alan pulled out the knight's sword with a serious face, which did have a bit of a knight's taste, but in less than three seconds, he returned to his normal state and said to the girls around him with a smile, "Of course, this also includes Lavia, Miss Lerella, and Sister Dia......"

"Tsk!" Scott rolled his eyes speechlessly and said mockingly, "I hope you don't have to pick up the bones for you then!"

"Hey, don't be so unlucky, man!"

While Allen was dissatisfied with the rebuttal, Lavia, who had been silent, stood up, took out a small sandalwood magic wand from her robe, and said lightly, "I don't need you to protect me!"

As soon as Lavia's words fell, Dia also stood up and said with a smile, "Alan, I appreciate your kindness, but I believe I can protect my ......"

"I think I can protect myself, too!" said Lyrela, giving Scott a sneaky look.

"Ah, that's a pity!" Alan shrugged indifferently.

"Hehe," quipped Argus, who was still sitting by the stump and still sitting by the stump, smiling at all this, "that ...... Alan, right? I need your protection......."

"Huh?" I saw Alan turn his head and look at Argus in surprise, and said with a strange look on his face, "I only protect the beautiful young ladies, uncle, take care of yourself!"

"Big ...... Uncle?" Argus's smile froze on his face, and his eyes widened incredulously.

"Stop kidding, 'they' are coming!" Scott muttered, tensing the nerves of a group of children.

The wolf howl gradually stopped......

Instead, there was a sparse sound, the faint sound of fallen leaves and dead branches being trampled, and with these sounds, a pair of faint green spots of light appeared in the dim woods in the distance......

If nothing else, it should be the light from the eyes of the beasts......

One pair, two pairs......

Ten teams, twenty pairs......

In just a few seconds, the trees on the opposite side were full of dark green points of light, which made people feel creepy.

"Goo," even Alan, who was usually quite bold, couldn't help but speak with a trill, swallowed his saliva, and said in a curt, "Scott, I feel like I can read their eyes...... They're hungry......"

"Hmph!" Scott snorted coldly, mocking in a low voice, "there's no food for these beasts to eat!"

"But for them, the food here is plentiful......"

For that fool who never knew the occasion, Scott felt a bruise on his forehead, and whispered, "Do you really want me to pick up the bones for you?"

"Oh," said Argus, who sat among the children, shaking his head and jokingly, "little ghost, when the wolves are hungry, they chew and swallow even the bones!"

"......" Scott frowned with a little disgust, it was obvious that he didn't like Argus's jokes very much, and after glancing at him lightly, he turned to Jiang Zhe and said, "Soth, please!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Zhe nodded, he understood what Scott meant, because among all the people, he was the only one who could use magic at any cost.

In the wary eyes of everyone, a wolf slowly stepped out of the shadows and roared at the children, which was a very common mountain wolf, which made the children a little surprised.

Isn't it a werewolf?

Could it be just some ordinary wolf?

Argus, who was leaning against the stump to roast the fire, glanced coldly at the trees in the distance, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's not a werewolf, it's really lucky!, by the way, speaking of werewolves, I seem to have heard that werewolves have the ability to command wolves......" It seemed to be talking to himself, but the words made the children who had just been relieved raise their vigilance again.

"Woo ......" roared, and a dozen mountain wolves stopped about a dozen yards away from the children, staring at the prey on the opposite side with their beastly and bloodthirsty eyes.

It may be that the children's young bodies are really not threatening, which makes the wolves a little nervous, and the mountain wolf in front seems to be ready for a surprise.

"What are you waiting for, puppy?" Eren stood at the front of the line with his knight's sword, and pointed at the wolves with a defiant gesture.

Although the wolves could not read the gestures of humans, they could at least understand the eyes of the little guy in front of them, and listening to the low roar became more suppressed, it was not difficult to guess that they seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Roar!"

A mountain wolf roared violently and pounced on Allen, but before Allen could lift the knight's sword in his hand, a fireball had already hit the wolf's head, exploding a cloud of black smoke with a bang.

The fireball did not kill the wolf, but it knocked it away, causing it to hit a tree behind it, and then fell to the ground, only "whining" and roaring, it seemed that the injury was not light, and it struggled for a long time but could not get up again.

"Hey, hey!" Alan glanced behind him with some dissatisfaction, he was ready to slash heavily, tsk!

That's a lot of speed......

Looking at the little imp with dark blonde hair who was raising his right hand beside him, Argus's eyes were a little surprised, and then he smiled slightly, and quipped, "Ahhhh......h But the wolf still seems to be gasping for breath, little imp, if I were your professor, I'd definitely label your magic 'unqualified'......"

Although he could hear that Argus's tone was mostly just joking and joking, Jiang Zhe was still a little depressed when he heard it, and retorted dissatisfiedly, "Then you come, I want to see how powerful the magic you cast!"

"Hehe," Argus said, smiling and holding up his hands in surrender, "how unflattering...... Okay, okay, I won't say it, lest you leave me, I still like you little ghosts more than those guys on the other side!" As soon as he finished speaking, he casually glanced around him, and saw a girl with red hair bowing her head and chanting a few incantations, and a circle of flames rose under her feet, and in the raging flames, several waves of fire were like fiery snakes, pointing at the beasts on the opposite side.

Fire Waves?

It's amazing to be able to skillfully perform Level 3 magic at this age!

Argus smiled slightly, whistled, and said to Jiang Zhe beside him, "That little girl also learned fire green magic, and seems to be better than you, little ghost!"

"So what?" Jiang Zhe shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said angrily, "No matter what, it's better than an idler, right?"

To tell the truth, Jiang Zhe sneered at Argus for saying that he was a great magician, in his eyes, not only did this guy in front of him not have the slightest magic, but also did not look like a magician at all, but like a trickster who had often seen in his previous life.

It's not that Jiang Zhe judges people by his appearance, but it's really Argus's outfit that is too unsuccessful, except for a shabby black coat that is more in line with the attire of a magician, whether it is his tone or behavior, he doesn't match the magician at all!

Not to mention that guy still has any magic props on him, there are more valuable things on his body, and it is estimated that there are less than three or five silver coins, and this includes the only two silver coins he has......

Is there such a failed magician in the world?

Of course, not only Jiang Zhe thought so, but the rest of the children thought so, after all, their influence on the professors of Reochs was too deep, and they subconsciously classified Argus as a wanderer who could only play tricks, at best, a few low-level magic bluffers.

However, Dia was more concerned about the wound on Argus's chest, the kind of wound that clearly showed signs of corrosion......

[Curse: Bondage]

[Curse: Blind]

Scott cast several spells in a row, and the mountain wolf who fell into his magic either had a significant decrease in speed, or stood in place and was at a loss for what to do, although the low-level curse did not have much damage in the end, but it was undoubtedly the best to contain it.

"Roar!" Allen's body suddenly skyrocketed a few points in an instant, and his body exuded a reddish light, and his strength was even more amazing after strengthening the power of the brute bull, and the broadsword swept away the two mountain wolves a few yards away, and then turned around, pinched the neck of a mountain wolf with an iron glove with his left hand, smashed it to the ground, and then made up for it with a broadsword, splashing wolf blood on the ground.

"Oh?" Argus, who was sitting by the campfire, had a look of surprise in his eyes, and said to Jiang Zhe beside him in astonishment, "Is that little ghost really a magician's apprentice?

"Hmph!" Jiang Zhe snorted angrily, raised his right hand and inhaled slowly, not seeing him have any action to cast a spell, multiple red vortices appeared in front of him, and a large number of fire elements were gathered.

"Go!"

"Whoosh!" three fireballs appeared in a row at almost the same time, striking their respective opponents at rapid speed, all of which hit the target.

Abandon Chanting?

Argus's eyes were full of consternation, he glanced at Jiang Zhe deeply, and after changing his eyes a few times, he shook his head and said secretly, "At this age, you can reach such a level, what a terrible little ghost...... How far can he grow?

Argus quietly looked at the children in front of him, and he found that the little ghosts in front of him were all good, of course, this was only an evaluation of their age.

The little ghost who speaks and laughs and looks very optimistic, saying that he is a magician is more of a knight, looking at the way he wields a knight's sword, coupled with that outrageous strange power, if he is in the knight academy, I am afraid that he may be a model student of the grade.

And the little imp with glasses is the other extreme, calm and taciturn, but has a kind of judgment beyond ordinary people on the battlefield, although the back and forth is only a few low-level curse magic, but almost everyone is supported.

These two imps are born with the temperament and potential to be leaders!

But the strange thing is that in this team, the captain is actually the little ghost named Soth!

Is it because he is the strongest?

Wrong!

It's that this little imp is a little special......

"Boom, boom, boom!" the explosion of a series of fireballs interrupted Argus's thoughts, and a slight chuckle hung on his lips as he looked faintly at the flames that erupted after the explosions of the fireballs.

Have you mastered compression and conversion?

Oh, and the art of condensing the elements from a distance......

It's not easy!

It seems that he is the strongest of these little imps, and it is not easy! It has been a long time for a magician to master these skills at about fifteen or sixteen years old......

What a clever little ghost!

It seems that what he is good at is hitting opponents with high-damage magic......

Well, compared to these three little ghosts, the other girls are much worse......

She also learned fire-based blue magic, but although the red-haired girl was on par with this little ghost in terms of control, the level of flames was much worse, and it was a pity that her fire-based physique was really ...... Hmm, no, according to her age, it shouldn't be said that her strength is weak, but that the imp is stronger...... Strange!

Hmm, the girl who can detect the smell of blood on her body very carefully, is she learning the water blue magic? Heh! At the same time, she casts a protective shield and mimics the water elemental...... No, it's enchantment, and the strength is not weak, but unfortunately the qualifications are not very good, and they can't compare to the girl who was born with a fire physique just now, no matter how hard she works, if she is unlucky, I'm afraid that she can only stay at the stage of a magician for the rest of her life, and she won't have much achievement......

There are also two girls......

One learns to summon, the other learns illusion, qualifications...... It's all ordinary......

Shaking his head, Argus lost interest in continuing to observe Dia, Lerella, and Lisa, and he was more interested in the other children than they were, especially the little imp named Soth, who was obviously not a fire physique, but was far more powerful than the girl in terms of strength, which made Argus a little puzzled.

To be honest, Argus is indeed not a great magician, he has not even passed the qualification assessment of a magician, but this does not hinder his strength, whether in the empire or in the Holy See, there are many black magicians and white magicians who have the title of magician, but they have the strength close to the great magician, just like Professor Hodd.

But even so, there are still very few great magicians in the human race, after all, strength is not the only criterion for the qualification of a great magician, the proficiency of forbidden spells, popularity, and contributions are all used as assessment criteria.

Just like the royal chief magician Weston, he is a great magician who is proficient in fire and water, and has mastered the three forbidden spells, including the composite magic thunder magic of the two, and is almost the most powerful of the existing magicians in the empire, as the guardian of the imperial city, he only obeys the orders of the contemporary Sassen king, and even the princes of the Sassen king dare not disrespect him, let alone the rest of the nobles.

And in the same way, the dean of Reox Academy, the kind old man who often stands by the bed with a pipe and looks at the children, Gretel Cairns, is also a great magician who has mastered the two systems of fire and earth green magic, and has mastered the three systems of forbidden spells, including the compound magic of the two, in addition, the old dean is also proficient in summoning, enchantment, alchemy, enchantment and other magical disciplines, and is very knowledgeable and famous in the wizarding world, and the enchantment in Reochs Academy is from his handwriting.

Of course, in fact, the above two actually have the qualifications to be promoted to holy magicians, and all they lack is a suitable opportunity, compared to the past, it is indeed easier to become a great magician now, only need the recommendation of one or three magicians to be eligible for the qualification assessment of the Magic Association, this is the case in the Empire, and it is also the case in Salonia.

But in this way, the bad thing is that once you become a great magician, it means that you are already connected to the country, and you can no longer be as free as a magician, if you are mistaken for treason, but it is a very unpleasant thing, especially when the relationship between the empire and the Holy See is tense.

All in all, the way to become a great magician is to be recommended by others, so for magicians, communication is also very important, which is one of the reasons why Weston took his precious apprentice Nia around to visit well-known magicians, after all, the mentor recommends apprentices, this kind of thing is not allowed in the qualification evaluation of great magicians, as the president of the Imperial Magic Association, Weston must of course lead by example, although there is no need for a surname, after all, Weston's popularity and circle of friends, his old friends are happy to give him a face。

Pull it away, come back and continue to talk about Argus!

This young man didn't look amazing, not even like a magician at all, but he was indeed wanted by the Holy See, and a person's strength sometimes didn't need to be shown on his own, just think of his opponents.

And Argus was hunted down by a team of Holy See, a cardinal-level archmagician, two monks and six holy magistrates, this kind of strength of the team is enough to subvert a small principality, but even so, Argus still escaped from their hands, although he was seriously injured, but this strength is far from what Jiang Zhe and they can compare now......

Of course, the children didn't know all this, and they seemed to think that Argus was just an ordinary wanderer, and Argus didn't seem to want to excuse himself, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, and what he wanted most at the moment was to continue his unfinished escape without 'alarming' the children.

Of course, as a wanted person in the Holy See, Argus also had another option......

But Argus didn't want to hurt the children who had helped him, especially since he had an inexplicable affection for the imp named South.

So, Argus reminded the children at the outset, because he could sense that there were still a number of werewolves lurking in the woods, in addition to the mountain wolves......

Yes, werewolves!

"Poor fellows!" Argus sighed slightly, throwing a piece of wood into the campfire.

"Ahh

To tell the truth, where can a beast like a mountain wolf be the opponent of children who know magic, even if the girls are a little afraid of this kind of enemy in their hearts, but the difference in strength is fatal, and the mountain wolf can't cause any harm to them at all.

It wasn't long before the ground was covered with the corpses of mountain wolves, and by the calculations, there were probably forty or fifty of them, but just as the children were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lisa let out a scream.

The children were shocked......

They looked in the direction of the woods and were shocked......

Those...... What are those wolf-like, human-like creatures with clothes on them?

Werewolves?

A wolf-like head, thick body hair, an erect and ericket body, hairy palms more like a pair of claws, and a long pointed mouth with a row of sharp teeth, on which disgusting saliva constantly drips......

Is this a werewolf?

The children watched in amazement, not because they had seen the legendary werewolf for the first time, but because of the werewolf's clothes, the kind of clothes worn by ordinary peasants......

And then there's the quantity......

Just what they saw, there were more than a dozen heads...... No, a dozen......

"Scott," Alan, who was not the slightest fear of the wolves on the other side just now, couldn't help but change color at this moment, swallowed his saliva and said, "I saw a lot of weird guys, very similar to the werewolves in your mouth...... Lots ......"

Scott was silent for a moment, pushed his glasses and said in a low voice, "You read that right, because I also saw it, a lot!"

"You said what would happen to the guy who was bitten by a werewolf?"

"As you can see now, werewolves have venom in their teeth......"

"God, this is not good news......" Alan moaned under his breath, because he could see that the clothes on these 'guys' in front of him, although their clothes were torn by their muscles, were not very shabby, if I guessed correctly, these guys should have been nearby villagers, they should have worked during the day and went back to their homes to sleep at night, instead of whispering at themselves and others like a beast like a beast now.

If it was just some mountain wolves like just now, the children wouldn't worry too much, but these guys in front of them weren't ...... They were originally human!

This made the children hesitate, and the girls even took a few steps back, and even Lavia lowered her right hand that was performing her magic.

Compared to girls, Jiang Zhe and them are better, but they can't help but have some planning, after all, killing a beast and killing a person are two completely different concepts.

"What are you doing?" said Argus, smiling sarcastically and shaking his head, "what misfortune......s!

His words made the girls blush a little, but more than that, they were shocked!

"Little ghosts, you don't wait for the other party to pounce, do you? After being bitten by a werewolf, within one to three days, you will lose your name due to the erosion of venom, unfortunately, there are no plants in this area that can be used to heal, you don't want to be 'them' companions, do you? Hmph! Look at their eyes, they no longer have a surname, only tyranny and bloodthirsty!"

"But......" Lisa retorted quietly, her face full of patience and hesitation.

"Hmph!" Argus pouted, shook his head, and said in a tone full of regret, "a little ghost is a little ghost......! Tsk, it's just going to be food for those guys, alas!"

"You're light!" Lavia frowned disapprovingly.

"Hehe, I can't help it, who wants me to really can't do magic now?" Argus shrugged helplessly, then fell silent for a moment and said in a low tone, "They...... No, they don't have human souls, not even beasts, and if the professor of your academy is here, he will teach you how to do it, for example, to let the bodies of these unfortunate people rest in peace......"

As he spoke, he shook his head with a hint of disappointment, and suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the werewolves pounced at great speed, sighed slightly, and his left hand, which was stirring the campfire with a stick, was about to be raised, but quietly put it down......

"Smack!" snapped his fingers.

"Boom, boom!"

A series of explosions, dense fire elementals swept through the werewolves that pounced on the front like a storm, and after hearing a roar of pain, no sound was heard.

"I didn't hesitate from the beginning!" Jiang Zhe said in a low voice looking at the surprise in Argus's eyes, "For them, maybe this is a relief...... I don't need you to say it, I know about it!"

Scold?

Looking at the decisiveness in Jiang Zhe's eyes, Argus was very appreciative in his heart.

This imp also has the potential to be a leader!

Interesting!
