Chapter 13: The Time Is Tonight!

"You'd better rest early tonight, it's going to take many days for us to ferry to the Wizarding City, and there's still plenty of time to learn new magic." Seeing that Lynn could not be convinced, Jonny had to say a word of warning, and then turned to leave.

"Wait...... Johnny! Lynn took the "Basic Magic General" into his arms, and suddenly thought of his previous guess, so he opened his mouth to stop it.

"What's wrong? Anything else? The silver-haired witch stopped.

"Are you sure that no one knows where the hideout is but us?" Lynn asked again.

"Do you suspect that any of us may have taken refuge in the Holy See?" Jonny's expression became very serious, she naturally understood what Lynn meant, and had the same guess in her heart, but after hesitating for a moment, she still shook her head and said. "It can't be!"

"We've been in this village for a whole week before you get to your...... The dangerous mission of going out to scout intelligence and procuring supplies is carried out by lot,"

She had also taken this opportunity to test everyone, and the fact that they had not been hunted down by the Holy See so far was the best proof of this!

Lynn was not surprised by this, but asked directly and retortingly.

"Have you ever wondered what if the Holy See's first target wasn't us?"

Lynn knows very well that as an internal response, there is only one possibility to forbear, and that is to achieve greater benefits......

Jonny was stunned for a moment, a look of bewilderment on his face.

"Cripple Lauder...... The passage to Greenriel is the real goal of the Holy See! Lynn said word for word.

He didn't know what kind of friendship Old York and Coru had in the [Drunkard] Tavern to help them as wizard apprentices, but one thing was certain!

Such a secretive, direct passage leading directly to the outside of the city could never have been specially created for them!

In other words, Old York is most likely the Wizard's Land planted in Nordland, and Lauder is undoubtedly a more important person who can help them sail out to sea.

Lynn can imagine how many wizards have entered the Secas Empire through this passage over the years, and how many large ships full of materials have departed from the ports of Nordland to reach the Wizarding City......

In comparison, the capture of these wizard apprentices is not important at all, it is just to appease the emotions of the Duke of Nordland, which may be the reason why they are constantly being hunted by the Holy See in the outside world, and they are safe and sound when they enter the town of your!

At Lynn's prompting, Jonny also immediately understood this, and his face suddenly changed.

In this way, it is likely that the Holy See has already known about their movements, but has been waiting for them to act, and then to catch everyone.

Thinking of this, Jonny's spine felt a chill down his spine, and at this moment they were like birds stepping into a trap, waiting for the hunter to raise the butcher's knife in his hand.

Jonny pursed his lips and was silent for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way to break the game.

"So what do we do?"

After sending this inquiry, the girl did not expect any answer from Lynn, and was almost desperate in the end of this internal and external dilemma.

How can a group of apprentices who can't even trust each other have the ability to escape from the carefully woven cage of the Holy See?

Lynn, however, spoke.

"It's simple...... Wait! ”

"Wait?" Lynn's answer surprised Jonny.

"You've just revealed to them the plans for the ferry and the intel of Lauder, and we're ready to leave tomorrow, and we'll all be watching each other, then......" Lynn said categorically. Tonight is the best chance to get the word out! ”

……

"Squeak-"

As the light of the full moon passed past the thirteenth star, Will woke up to the sound of rats, and the dry straw on the hardwood bed behind him stabbed his back like a needle and a spatula.

Will struggled to sit up, and then saw three or two rats gathered around his robe and nibbled on half a piece of black bread, their slender tongues hanging down to their mouths, and their black toes stepping on the blue robes.

"Damn it, you brutes, mud!" Will was furious, kicked over, kicked the dirty black bread aside, cursed viciously, and it took several minutes to calm down, and in disgust picked up the robe and draped it over his body, and cautiously pushed open the door.

It was dark in the side hall, and no one could be seen, and at this point in time, everyone should have rested except for the white dove who was in charge of the vigil.

Will didn't dare to stop for a moment, and walked quickly through the hallway, into a remote storage room, and turned to close the door.

The old wooden door made a tooth-aching sound, and thanks to the group of mercenaries who had broken in, all the locks on the manor had been violently broken, the entire storage room was turned into a mess, the wooden floor was covered with dust, and several chairs and cabinets fell to the ground tilted.

Will nervously leaned down and removed the clutter piled up in the corner, a strange diamond-shaped pattern engraved on the dusty floor.

When he was an apprentice, Jonny chose the elements, the white dove chose psionic energy, and what he mastered was alchemy!

【Boat, Harbor, Lauder ......】

Will burned the characters one by one in the center of the circle, and then placed the magic stone on the four rings inside the circle, and the glimmer gradually appeared, extending along the lines of the circle......

Just as the glow was about to envelop the entire magic circle, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded in the silent room, and a [Ice Blade] was nailed to the corner of the magic array, and the brilliant spiritual light dimmed in an instant.

"Who?" Will was startled and sat down on the ground, looking in horror in the direction he had come.

The empty room had been opened at some point, and Jonny's eyes were full of disappointment and puzzlement.

"Why did you betray us, Will?" The grumpy Buck strode forward, grabbed Will by the collar, and slammed his fist in front of him. "Answer me!"

"Why?" Will sneered, shoved Buck away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with an excited expression. "You ask me why?"

"I'm Will Iske, the second son of the Imperial Count!"

"If it weren't for that idiot of Coru, I would have lived in the manor of Iske, in and out of extravagant high-class parties, enjoying delicious food and servant service, and in the future I could inherit part of my father's realm and become the barony lord of the Secas Empire!"

"But now? We had to nibble on the black bread that the untouchables would eat every day, and slept in the dirty, rat-infested ruins. Will scolded hysterically. I've had enough! ”

"Coru is a madman, a devil! He taught us the knowledge of demons, and he turned us from high nobles into a bunch of bedbugs that could only hide in dark corners......"
