"Have you all forgotten who you are? Before we became wizards, we were all noble children of the Secas Empire! Will shouted loudly.

Buck and the others looked at each other and couldn't help but fall silent.

They also understood Will's experience, and the feeling of falling from heaven to hell was indeed very uncomfortable.

In the midst of the silence, Lynn suddenly spoke. "You should understand, Will, that the Holy See will never change its disposition of us because of our status......"

What are the most important claims of the Holy See as a monotheistic religion?

Creationism, of course!

The legendary Lord Ella created everything in the world and rained down the nectar of life, giving life to the otherwise dead and barren land, and for this reason, all people should obey the rule of the Holy See.

And the wizards who try to analyze the laws of the world and draw power from them naturally become mortal enemies of the Holy See.

After all, this is shaking the foundation of theocracy!

"This time it's different!" Will said excitedly, looking at the people present, the whole person looked like a madman. "Jonny, Lynn, Barker, the Holy See's primary goal is not us, as long as we devote ourselves to repentance, Bishop Ann Sulf and the Duke of Nordland will definitely forgive our sins!"

"You're crazy, Will!" Jonny sighed. "From the moment we chose to become wizards, there was no way back."

Once they choose to become a wizard, the magic will flow through them forever, which is a symbol of demons and shame in the Sekas Empire.

If the Earl of Iske knew that his second son had become a wizard, his first reaction would definitely be to dissociate himself from the family as much as possible and expel Will from the family......

In other words, they will never be able to return to their old lives......

"I'm not crazy, I know exactly what I'm doing!" Will said with a sneer, turned his head to look at the white dove who had been silent, and took out a few magic stones from the hidden pocket of his robe with his right hand behind his back, and suddenly scattered towards Jonny and the others without warning.

Jonny...... Be careful! The white dove screamed loudly, and from her psionic perspective, she could clearly see that a hidden rune was engraved on each magic stone.

At the same time as the sound of the white dove sounded, several magic stones exploded in mid-air, and sharp gravel fell down like locusts......

The gray-haired witch's face remained unchanged, her right hand raised, her fingers tapped as if she were playing a harp, and the runes on the glove wrapped in her slender knuckles lit up one after another.

A faint flame suddenly appeared on his fingertips, and then the spark quickly expanded, and the hot tongue of fire covered everything in front of him in just a second!

This is none other than the Ring of Superior Magic, [Touch of Fire]!

Will had already planned his escape route the moment he threw the stone, and he rolled in a terrible way to avoid the scorching heat, and then jumped out of the wide open window.

But Lynn's movements were faster than him, and a diamond-shaped ice blade came first, piercing Will's ankle, and his body that jumped in mid-air instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

A biting chill spread up his ankle, and Will suddenly felt that his right leg had lost sensation, and the whole person was leaning against the wall, panicked, and was about to say something, when a slender [magic missile] flew straight past and exploded in his eye socket.

Scarlet blood mixed with brains sprinkled and stained the wooden floor bloody, and Lynn immediately turned her head to look in the opposite direction, and Jonny questioned in disbelief.

"What are you doing, White Dove?"

She deliberately reduced the power of the Flame Touch when she used it, just to keep her mouth alive and torture some information.

"It's too late, I can only kill him first!" The white dove held his head in his hands and shouted in fear. "Outside...... There are at least a hundred guards outside, and we are already surrounded! ”

Hearing this, Jonny immediately ran to the window, and a fireball spell lit up the dim night.

In the light of the explosion, Lynn saw from a distance a group of guards in armor and crossbow arrows at their waists were silently galloping through the dense forest.

The man at the head held a scepter in his hand, dressed in a white gilt robe, and looked at Lynn from a distance of hundreds of meters, in the light of the firelight.

"It's Bishop Ansulk of Nordland! It's over, we're dead! Barton recognized it at a glance, and the whole person fell into despair.

He didn't expect that in order to capture a few wizard apprentices, the bishop of Nordland would personally go out.

Lynn glanced at the dim alchemy circle on the ground, they should have stopped the activation of the magic just now, that is......

The eyes of everyone present invariably turned to the white pigeon.

"Not me...... I didn't do it! The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl shook her head frantically, her face full of horror.

The chaotic situation on the field and the coercive chasers of the Holy See made Jonny, who was already nervous, feel dizzy for a while, and he bit his lip lightly, forced him to calm down, and said in a deep voice.

"Listen, it's not that bad, there's a wide drain in the basement of this manor that leads directly to the outside river, from where we can escape!"

As she spoke, Jonny turned her head and asked Lynn to keep an eye on the white dove with a pleading look, she didn't know who else she could trust.

……

A minute ago, in the dense forest outside the town of your, hundreds of uniformly dressed guards were slowly walking through the shade of trees.

Pastor Aaron, who was with the army, looked at the castle towering in the distance and asked in confusion.

"Bishop Ansulk, according to the plan we made earlier, shouldn't we wait for these wizard apprentices to arrive in Harbour Town before we do it?"

For this [Caged Bird] plan, they mobilized a large number of people to monitor the entire town of your, which is to use this group of wizard apprentices to send the entire Nordland territory to hell with sinners who have betrayed the faith of the Lord.

Now that they have taken the initiative, they have undoubtedly undermined all the efforts they have made before.

"Aaron, a good hunter needs to learn not only how to lay elaborate traps, but also know how to grasp the timing of the net." Ansulk replied in a deep voice. "A sturdy iron cage may be able to hold a clumsy bird, but if a griffon is mixed in, it can break free of the cage and tear the hunter to pieces......"

"Remember, excessive greed will only cost you everything you have."

The essence of the Caged Birds' plan is that they have absolute control, and no matter how much the apprentices of the wizards jump, they will not be able to escape the snare they have laid.

However, Blaney's death made Amsevil smell uneasy, and the presence of an official wizard among Coru's apprentices completely disrupted his setup.

Having dealt with these demonic followers countless times, Amsuk knows all too well how difficult formal wizards can be, and how strange the sorcery they wield can be on the spot if they are not careful.

In the battle of Nordland, it would not have been easy to capture an apprentice if he hadn't taken the initiative to stay behind in order to cover his escape.
