Chapter 198 The high-level meeting
relies on the reputation of Melkor, the fifth-level tutor of the academy and Petain's favorite disciple.
These Masonic apprentices, who have long been arrogant and accustomed to bullying other lower-level apprentices in the academy, when they heard the warning bell ringing, not only did they not have the slightest fear, but they quickly stopped what they were doing and rushed to the bell. He rushed to the location where the sound came from.
Hearing the sound of the alarm bell ringing, Yihua felt certain.
In fact, if Yi Hua is willing, he can enter the Masonic headquarters in just an instant by relying on the shadow shuttle. The Masonic apprentice in front of him has no chance to attack Yi Hua.
The reason why he slowed down and resisted a second-class witchcraft earlier was because he deliberately gave the Masonic apprentice on guard tower a chance to sound the alarm.
Once the alarm bell rings, the apprentices distributed in the Masonic headquarters will inevitably go out in large numbers and gather towards the area where Yihua is located.
This move can greatly save Yihua's time in destroying the Masonic headquarters, and can catch all the Masonic apprentices inside.
After Yi Hua of Ye Province entered the Masonic headquarters with an area of tens of thousands of square meters, he still had to look for traces of the Masonic apprentices one by one.
"Since the bell has already sounded, there is no need for me to hold back." The
moment this thought flashed through his mind, the translucent tentacles of fear behind Yihua were aimed at the sentry tower, and the apprentice who had previously attacked him shot out.
boom!
The skinny Masonic apprentice didn't even notice the attack. The fear tentacles that shot out from behind Yihua were so powerful that his hands were blown off.
At the moment when the freemason apprentice's two palms fell, the remaining power of the attack caused the two fear tentacles to directly penetrate the freemason apprentice's shoulder blades, nailing him to the stone wall behind the guard tower. superior.
In an instant, he was struck by such a terrifying force that the Masonic apprentice fell silent and fainted on the spot.
Although the other party was seriously injured, his life was not in danger in a short period of time.
This is because the purpose of Yihua's raid on the Masonic headquarters was not to kill all the hundreds of Masonic apprentices who had been destroyed many times.
Instead, it completely destroyed the prestige established by Freemasonry over the years, causing its status to plummet in the eyes of other apprentices in the academy, and it was on the verge of disbandment.
Since apprentices are prohibited from fighting each other in the academy, if only one or two people are killed, Yihua may be able to rely on his current reputation to let Master Simon suppress it for him.
But if he had no scruples, he would kill at least dozens of Masonic apprentices who were currently in the headquarters.
Due to the rules set by the tower master, even relying on the energy of mentor Simon, it is difficult to calm down the matter easily, and it will inevitably lead to a joint investigation by all fifth-level mentors.
By that time, even with the disguise of a thousand-changing body, Yihua could not guarantee that he would be able to escape the joint investigation of the fifth-level instructors.
Yihua's thoughts flashed across his mind.
Under the waving of two fear tentacles, the body of the Masonic apprentice who was instantly seriously injured by Yihua and fell into coma on the sentry tower rose into the air, and was thrown several meters away by the detached fear tentacles.
And this scene was also seen by the seven or eight Masonic apprentices who had just arrived for reinforcements.
Seeing that his colleague, a second-class apprentice, was seriously injured and knocked away without even being able to hold on to him.
The faces of these Masonic apprentices, who were originally rushing to compete for credit, changed drastically. They let out bursts of exclamations and subconsciously stepped back.
But Yihua did not intend to let these apprentices leave.
The next moment, Yihua's body turned into pale flames and disappeared from the place, appearing out of thin air on the retreating path of these Masonic apprentices.
The first few Masonic apprentices who arrived seemed a little caught off guard when they saw Yi Hua suddenly appearing in front of them.
Before they could take a few steps back, Yihua controlled the five fear tentacles behind him and shot out.
Puff puff!
But in an instant, the first batch of Masonic apprentices who arrived after hearing the warning bells had all had their limbs broken and collapsed to the ground wailing.
Just a few seconds after Yihua finished his attack, several more Masonic apprentices came to support him from afar.
When they saw a large number of seriously injured colleagues who fell to the ground, before they had time to react, the fear tentacles behind Yihua suddenly shot out dozens of meters away, seriously injuring several Masonic apprentices who were no more than first-class.
At the same time, not far away from another direction, several more Masonic apprentices who had not realized the danger arrived...
——In
the one-sided battle that Yihua was as efficient as a machine, just a few minutes passed, There is not a single standing Masonic apprentice in this huge Masonic headquarters.
"As the headquarters of the Freemasons, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of valuable things here..."
Looking at the large number of Masonic apprentices around who were seriously injured and unconscious, or were wailing in pain.
Yi Hua picked a second-class apprentice who seemed to have a higher status and asked him about the location of the treasure house of the Masonic headquarters.
This apprentice had already felt boundless fear of Yi Hua during the previous one-sided battle. Yi Hua did not press too much, and the other party tremblingly told the location of the treasure house of the Masonic headquarters.
Without a moment's delay, Yi Hua set off quickly. After locking the location of the treasure house, he instantly moved through the shadow to the door of the treasure house.
In just ten seconds, Yihua went deep into the underground treasure house, and through the tentacles of fear, he violently dismantled several thick steel doors that could withstand third-level witchcraft.
Finally, after going deep into the treasure house, he came to a room full of witch crystals.
Yihua looked at the large number of witch crystals piled in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he quickly mobilized his fear tentacles and began to search for the witch crystals in the room.
After a while, he plundered eight high-level witch crystals from the depths of the stacked witch crystals, which was equivalent to 800 ordinary witch crystals.
Excluding the large amount of witch crystals consumed by the acquisition of third-level semi-dead witchcraft bodies and third- and fourth-level witchcraft scrolls, Yihua's current assets now exceed two thousand witch crystals!
As for the remaining three to four hundred ordinary witch crystals, Yihua hesitated briefly.
Due to the excessive number of these ordinary witch crystals the size of pigeon eggs, stacked together, the volume is comparable to a small mountain.
If Yi Hua wants to collect them, he can only use the death world shuttle technique and spend a certain amount of time to transfer these witch crystals to the death world one by one.
And collecting Wu Jing in this way, even if there is enough time, will leave a big flaw.
After all, apart from being extremely rare, magic items with space attributes that can accommodate items are relatively common. The only means of temporarily transferring and storing items is the Necromancer's Death World Shuttle Technique.
Realizing that these witch crystals were just the icing on the cake for him now, but if he chose to waste time collecting them, they would become a hot potato, Yi Hua decisively gave up collecting these witch crystals.
In Yihua's view, his raid on the Masonic headquarters will inevitably lead to an investigation by Melkor, and there is even a high probability of leading to Melkor's mentor Petain.
But since Yi Hua chose to attack the Masonic headquarters, he naturally did not act impulsively, but after careful consideration.
In Yihua's plan, if other fifth-level tutors are involved, as long as there are no obvious flaws left, it will rely on the efforts of Simon, Rudolf and others who are hostile to Melkor's tutor Petain.
Coupled with the testimony of these surviving Masonic apprentices that the identity of the attacker was unknown and was not his own, Yihua was extremely confident that he would be able to escape suspicion.
Due to time constraints, Yihua did not have time to search carefully in the treasure house, and left in a hurry after accepting eight high-level witch crystals.
On the way back, Yihua changed his identity many times, and finally returned to his residence without anyone noticing.
——Half
an hour after Ihua wreaked havoc at the Masonic headquarters and seriously injured all the Masonic apprentices present, Melkor also returned to the academy.
After a while, Melkor, who learned that the Masonic headquarters was attacked, looked ugly and rushed to the edge of the academy where the headquarters was located.
Melkor, who was standing high in the air, looked down at the Masonic headquarters where thick smoke was billowing beneath his feet and where severely wounded apprentices were everywhere. Scarlet light flashed in his pupils, and his teeth were clenching.
Hours after the attack on the Masonic headquarters.
In the wizard tower located in the center of the academy, an impromptu meeting was held between the fifth-level instructors who manage this nine-ring white tower branch.
He glanced at the other five fifth-level instructors who were silent and sitting in a circle around the 40-meter-long table in the center.
As Melkor's mentor and a fifth-level bloodline sorcerer, Petain, who looked like a young man with blond hair and red eyes, suddenly stood up and spoke first: "Just a few hours ago, dozens of first- and second-level
apprentices from our academy died. Dozens of kilometers outside the college, the bodies disappeared without a trace. Not long after, the Masonic headquarters in the college was also attacked, and nearly a hundred apprentices were seriously injured." Speaking of this, Pétain looked slightly serious
. The voice paused, and then continued:
"This incident is most likely the work of wizards other than our own! It is a great provocation to the prestige of our Nine Rings White Tower Branch! I hope you can cooperate with me in this vicious incident. Conduct a serious investigation! Catch the murderer as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing Petain's hat, several fifth-level instructors present frowned.
Whether the murderer is a wizard from this academy or a wizard from a branch of this academy directly determines the attitude of these fifth-level instructors towards this matter.
If it was done by an apprentice of this college, the matter would be classified as an internal dispute and handled in accordance with the college's rules.
According to the strength shown by the opponent in killing so many first- and second-class apprentices in a short period of time, the murderer must have at least the power of a third- and fourth-class apprentice.
If the murderer's true identity is really a third- or fourth-class apprentice in this academy.
After being found out, according to the hospital regulations, a high fine of at least several thousand witch crystals and several years of imprisonment will most likely be imposed.
But if the murderer is Yihua, Rey and other talented apprentices of this year.
Since the apprenticeship exam is approaching now, out of consideration of his future potential, the college will most likely exempt him from imprisonment and will only impose a fine.
However, if the murderer is not from the academy, but is a wild wizard, or a wizard from another academy, then the nature of the matter becomes more serious.
