Chapter 83: Battle of Two Cities
Although he obtained the spot in the Secret Realm of Truth, Pei Ze did not relax.
Early the next morning, he went out to search for heretics as usual.
It's a rare opportunity to get merit points, so naturally you can't waste it. It's better to get more if you can.
Su Ya and Peng Yan were waiting at the door early as always.
Seeing Pei Ze coming out, the two of them immediately greeted him and greeted him respectfully.
"Sir."
Pei Ze nodded towards the two of them and walked out of the building.
Today's station is much busier than usual. People can be seen gathering in twos and threes everywhere along the way, seeming to be discussing something.
The appearance of the three Pei Zes immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, it's Pei Ze!"
"Is he going out again today?"
"No, I just killed two legendary knight-level experts last night. Do you still have the energy to go out and search for heretics today?" "
I heard that Pei Ze Ze didn't have any injuries when he came back last night."
"Hey, is it true? Doesn't that mean he can crush the legendary knight?"
"Unbelievable."
The exclamations kept coming.
At the beginning of the operation, when Huo Nan blatantly targeted Pei Ze, many people secretly felt pity for Pei Ze or gloated about his misfortune.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, Pei Ze would kill Huo Nan.
It’s really incredible!
No one cares about the secrets hidden behind this matter, and they don't dare to explore it.
They were more concerned about the power Pei Ze showed in this matter.
Being able to kill two legendary knight-level powerhouses in a head-on battle, this kind of strength definitely belongs to the top few among the tens of thousands of third-level wizard apprentices in Dawn City.
I'm afraid it won't be long before another student from Tower Academy will be promoted to a wizard before graduation.
In the world of wizards, the strong are respected.
Pei Ze's strength has undoubtedly won the respect of almost everyone.
Among the many gazes cast on him at this time, the vast majority were those of awe and admiration.
Even when looking at Su Ya and Peng Yan, there were many looks of envy and jealousy.
Many knight students are secretly regretting it. If they had known that Pei Ze was so powerful, they should have been shameless and try harder. Maybe they are the ones standing behind Pei Ze and enjoying the attention now.
Aware of the gazes of the people around them, Su Ya and Peng Yan straightened their backs subconsciously, feeling proud.
In the next few days, Pei Ze searched for heretics during the day and meditated and practiced breathing techniques at night. His life was extremely fulfilling.
It's a pity that this life did not last long.
Four days later, the sweep came to an end.
At this point, the encirclement and suppression operation against the deeply resentful Abep forces has officially come to an end.
After this battle, Abep's followers in Dawn City were basically wiped out.
Maybe there are still some fish that slipped through the net, but they are no longer worth mentioning.
At least for the next few decades, Abep's forces will not be able to recover.
"Facts have proved that no heretical religion can defeat the official power. The key is whether the official is willing to take serious measures to rectify it."
Pei Ze threw the battle report aside casually, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Logically speaking, with the power controlled by the Dawn Council, it is not difficult to completely wipe out the pagan forces in the entire Dawn City.
But why do they still allow the pagans to operate in secret?
If Abep's followers hadn't provoked the Tower Academy this time, no matter how cheerful they danced, they would have only suffered some suppression, instead of being uprooted like now.
After thinking for a moment to no avail, Pei Ze shook his head and gave up thinking.
No matter what the conspiracy was behind this, it was a matter for the superiors and not something he, a wizard apprentice, should worry about.
The most important thing at the moment is to be promoted to wizard as soon as possible.
Pei Ze stood up, stretched his body, and came to the corridor outside.
Wuyu was standing on the corridor railing basking in the sun.
The warm sunlight shines on its dark body, reflecting a light luster like metal, giving people a noble and mysterious feeling.
Su Ya stood aside, holding a plate of ferocious beast meat, carefully picking up a small piece and bringing it to Wu Yu's mouth.
With her respectful demeanor, people who didn't know better thought she was serving a certain royal family.
Peng Yan was farther away, watching this scene eagerly, as if he was envious of Su Yan's close contact with Wu Yu.
Since that night's battle, Su Ya and Peng Yan's attitude towards Wuyu has undergone earth-shaking changes. They no longer treat it as an ordinary pet, but completely as a strong man.
Not only were they respectful on weekdays, but when Pei Ze was not free, the two of them would go out to find the ferocious beast meatballs that were said to be very popular among crow demon pets for Wu Yu to enjoy.
In terms of caring for Wu Yu, the master Pei Ze can't compare to the two of them now.
Of course, Pei Ze is happy to see this change.
If someone takes care of Wuyu for him, he will certainly not refuse.
The only one who was unhappy about this was Xiaoyi.
The little guy was sitting not far away at this time, with his arms folded and looking at Su Ya and Peng Yan angrily.
Two blind guys!
Although they are both partners of the Great Demon King, why do these two people only treat Kiriyu with respect but not treat her with any pretense?
Is it just because Wuyu is strong?
But although she is weak, she can make nectar and help refine potions. The big devil always praises her for her power, why should he look down on fairies!
What a bully to the fairies!
Pei Ze saw this and shook his head secretly, laughing. He didn't intend to interfere. He said something to Su Ya and walked straight towards the exchange hall.
When the operation ended, the exchange hall was crowded with wizard apprentices who came to exchange resources.
When Pei Ze walked into the hall and took a look, all he could see were black heads.
"It's Pei Ze!" Someone suddenly shouted.
The people in front turned to look, and when they saw it was Pei Ze, they consciously moved out of the way.
In the blink of an eye, a road opened up in front of Pei Ze.
Pei Ze was not polite, nodded to everyone, walked straight through the crowd, came to the registration office, and placed the recording ring on the table.
These days, he has gained more than 20 merit points one after another.
After final calculation, he had a total of 2023 merit points.
The staff quickly completed the registration, raised his head and asked: "There are 2023 merit points in total. What should I exchange for?"
After the words fell, there was a sound of inhalation in the hall.
2023 merit points!
This number is more than ten times their number!
It’s so infuriating to compare people to each other!
"In exchange for the place in the Secret Realm of Truth, there are still two dark stones, and the rest will be exchanged for magic stone coins."
Pei Ze felt a little regretful.
After redeeming the places in the Secret Realm of Truth, the remaining merit points are no longer enough to redeem the evil potion.
The only option is to exchange it for Dark Stone.
"Forget it, at best I can buy the evil potion from the teacher after I go back." Pei Ze thought to himself.
This is the advantage of having a pharmacist teacher. You don't have to worry about having no channels to purchase the high-end medicines you need.
"Okay, one quota for the Secret Realm of Truth, two Dark Stones, and three Magic Stone Coins."
The staff quickly took out the things and placed them in front of Pei Ze.
"The quota for the Secret Realm of Truth has been recorded in your apprentice badge. Just go and report on the opening day." "
Everything else is here, please check it out."
"Thank you."
Pei Ze glanced at it and put all the things into the dimension. Bag, turned around and left immediately.
It wasn't until he walked out of the hall that the crowd suddenly burst into buzzing chatter.
"The quota for the Secret Realm of Truth is really enviable. I want it too." "
Just think about it, this thing was originally put out for people to see, and only a monster like Pei Ze can get it." "
Speaking of which, Pei Ze This is the second time that Ze has obtained a spot in the Secret Realm of Truth."
"Hiss, it's true when you say that, no one in the academy has been able to enter the Secret Realm of Truth twice in a row, Pei Ze has set a precedent!"
The crowd's chatter suddenly became louder.
As soon as he left the exchange hall and didn't go far, Pei Ze met Gu Lin head-on.
When the girl saw him, she paused in her steps and pouted. Then she came over, took out a memory crystal ball and stuffed it into his arms.
"It's for you, take it."
"What is this?" Pei Ze asked knowingly.
"Hey, don't be so good when you get the advantage!" Gu Lin put his hands on his hips and stared at Pei Ze with wide beautiful eyes, "It's amazing that you won the bet, you are." Gu Lin wanted to say that Pei Ze was lucky
, But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out.
Ask yourself, if she had met a binge drinker, she wouldn't have been able to get those 1,000 merit points.
To say that Pei Ze is lucky is a bit counterintuitive.
Pei Ze didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile.
Gu Lin finally couldn't stand his gaze, and raised his hand in resignation, saying, "Okay, I know you are awesome, are you satisfied?"
Pei Ze smiled, nodded, and said, "Being willing to accept defeat is a good quality."
See. Gu Lin's beautiful eyes widened, but Pei Ze didn't give her a chance to get angry. He changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, it's been more than half a month since we left the college. Has anything happened in the college recently?" Even though he knew that Pei Ze was transferring
. topic, but after Gu Lin glared at him angrily, he still followed his topic and said: "There are a few things, one of which is that you killed the binge drinker and Huonan." "
This matter has spread throughout the world. College, now you are not only in the first grade, you are also very famous among the senior students. Several people have already asked me about you." "What about the
others?"
"The second thing is related to you." Gu Lin There was a slight pause in his tone, and a look of surprise in his eyes, "Just three days ago, Senior Sister Yin Xue was successfully promoted to wizard."
Pei Ze was surprised at first, and then felt happy.
Senior sister has been promoted to wizard!
This is undoubtedly good news.
Not to mention his own affection for his senior sister, just speaking of their senior-sister-sister relationship, it would also be good for him for his senior sister to be promoted to a wizard.
"Not long after the news of the promotion came out, the Silver Light Legion sent an invitation to Senior Sister Yin Xue, and it was said that she was also offered the position of captain of the Witch Hunting Troop." Gu Lin said with a bit of envy in his tone.
Witch Hunting Troop!
Pei Ze's eyes flashed slightly.
He had heard of this unit.
It is said that the Witch Hunting Force is composed entirely of wizards and is the most powerful force in the Silver Light Legion. It is responsible for solving difficult enemies in plane battles, which is commonly known as beheading operations.
Even though it was just a squad leader position, for the witch hunting squad leader, even the commander of the city guard army would be respectful when they saw him.
Pei Ze secretly sighed, but was not surprised.
After all, the senior sister is a wizard who was promoted through the advanced meditation method. It only takes a few months to stabilize her strength and she is already stronger than most first-level wizards.
There is no problem in being the captain of the witch hunting unit.
After calming down, Pei Ze then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"One more thing." Gu Lin nodded, "Have you heard about the truce negotiations between Dawn City and Red Lotus City?"
Pei Ze Ze's expression changed and he asked, "Has the result of the negotiation come out?"
"It seems to have come out."
Gu Lin shrugged.
"The final result of the discussion between the two councils is to determine the distribution ratio of the plane development income through a competition. The winning side can exclusively get 70%, while the losing side not only has to contribute half of the efforts in plane development, but also only gets 30% of the income. ."
Pei Ze was a little surprised when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, after the armistice between the two wizarding cities, they were preparing for a two-city battle in another sense.
When he came back to his senses, he asked curiously: "What kind of competition is it?"
"The specific form is not clear yet, but it is said that there are three rounds of competitions, involving wizards of different realms."
At this point, Gu Lin paused. He showed a strange look, and then continued:
"It is said that several wizard apprentices may appear in one of the rounds of the competition."
Wizard apprentice?
Pei Ze was really shocked now.
Isn't it a bit childish to use competitions between wizard apprentices to determine the distribution ratio of resources in a plane - even if it is only a partial decision?
"What are the people above thinking?" Pei Ze was puzzled.
Gu Lin spread her hands and said, "Who knows, maybe she wants to compare which city's younger generation is better."
She suddenly paused and took a deep look at Pei Ze.
"But if the rumors are true, with your strength, you can definitely compete for a spot!"
Pei Ze's heart moved and he remained silent.
To be honest, he was a little excited at this moment.
If this is true, then once they get the quota, in order to increase the chances of winning for their own participants, the Dawn Council will definitely use resources to strengthen their combat power.
This alone is very attractive.
Not to mention that once you represent Chenxi City and win, you will definitely get a lot of rewards.
Having said that, Pei Ze didn't take it too seriously.
After all, it’s not certain whether this is true or false.
Even if it is true, there must be many wizard apprentices who want places, and it is foreseeable that the competition will be fierce.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Dawn City. Pei Ze doesn't think he can kill the legendary knight. He is the strongest among the third-level wizard apprentices.
Among other things, there are many powerful people among the third-level wizard apprentices who have practiced advanced meditation methods and have been stagnant at the threshold of wizards for a long time.
In terms of qualifications, they may be a little behind.
In terms of strength, they have been in the third-level wizard apprentice realm for many years, are proficient in a large number of spells, and have accumulated a large number of trump cards and back-ups. If they really fight, it is estimated that two or three legendary knights will not be their opponents.
As the last level before a wizard, the upper and lower limits of power in the third-level wizard apprentice realm are wider than the gap between a second-level wizard apprentice and an ordinary person.
