Chapter 207 – Wood and Mushrooms

Chapter 207 – Wood and Mushrooms

Completely unlike a great noble of a principality, Kira just barged into the mud and sand, not caring about the dust inside.

However it didn’t take long for her to burst out of it again.

Kira looked around with a wary face, her arm that had transformed into a short sword protected in front of her body.

But when the smoke cleared, she didn’t find any more sign of Victor.

“Ran away?” A little disappointed, she put away the weapons at the top of her hands.

The two greatswords turned into liquid and flowed down her arms into her cuffs, out of sight.

And while Kira’s own size hadn’t changed in any way, Saul couldn’t tell where she’d hidden weapons that huge.

Catting behind a pile of clutter, Saul stood up.

When he saw this condescending second-order wizard approaching, he hastily kicked the carter who was still curled up on the ground with his head in his hands
“What’s that Second Order I don’t know what his name is doing chasing you? And what are you?”

Saul hurriedly took out his Sorcerer Tower apprentice’s name tag and held it up for Kira to see, “Lord Kira, I’m an apprentice of the Sorcerer Tower, I came here to do an outgoing quest and accidentally bumped into him. He seems to have been lurking here for a long time, victimizing many ordinary people and wandering wizards.”

Kira scanned over Saul’s nametag and skimmed it, seemingly finding it uninteresting.

However, she then thought of something and evoked a smile without temperature, “It’s no small thing to provoke a strange second-ranked wizard. I’ll send you back to the Sorcerer’s Tower and let your Tower Master interrogate you properly.”

As soon as her words fell, she raised her right hand high and snapped her fingers.

While others snapped their fingers with the sound of skin rubbing against flesh, Kira’s snapped her fingers with the sound of metal clashing.

What she said left Saul speechless.

If his passive stepping on Victor’s trap was provoking the other party, then what was Kira’s action of not listening to people over and over again and going up to fight with her greatsword raised?
Provoking? Pulling hatred?

But Kira was after all a second-ranked sorcerer, and Saul was not in a good position to argue with her.

A large bird fell from the sky.

When it was almost close to the ground, Kira clipped the skinny Saul and led him to jump directly onto the back of the big bird.

The back of the large bird was not flat, nor did it have any props such as a bird saddle that would facilitate one’s riding.

Kira, however, could stand firmly on the bird’s back.

While Saul behind her was miserable, he could only lie on his back and grasp the feathers with both hands to avoid slipping off the bird’s back.

But the feathers were slippery and not forceful at all.

And Kira in front of her didn’t know what she was thinking, except for shielding the wind resistance of the outside world, she just stood in front of her dumbly, and didn’t say anything to help Saul.

Saul sighed, knowing that he couldn’t count on this battle maniac.

He chanted an incantation and made a not-so-commonly-used adhesion spell, sticking his buttocks and thighs firmly to the back of the big bird, which allowed him to sit still and not fall.

Only when he was sure he was sitting still did he have the mood to care about others.

The cart driver seemed to have been left where he was again.

The figure of the carny on the ground was getting smaller and smaller as the big bird was rising rapidly.

Beyond the distance of the summoning spell, Saul could only wave his hand at the cart driver on the ground, signaling him to return to the tower himself.

The latter helplessly watched as Sol once again left him behind and disappeared into the sky along with the terrifying second-ranked sorcerer.

The cart driver was a bit worried about the kind little apprentice, but knew that he had no business caring at all.

He shook the mushroom on top of his head, and with a deft hand, he rolled over the fence and pile of debris blocking the middle of the road and walked towards the carriage parked under the eaves of the street.

The horses bred in the Wizard’s Tower were excellent, and even with the tremendous shaking that had just occurred, he only moved his hooves uneasily, not running away in fear.

The coachman reached out and ran his hand through the horse’s mane to calm it down before he jumped into the driving seat and tugged on the reins to turn the horse.

The chaos that had just occurred here made the entire town of Moxan even quieter, not a single resident ran out to see what was going on, all of them closed their doors tightly and hid inside their rooms.

The carriage ran smoothly all the way out of the town and onto the country road leading to the Wizard’s Tower.

At the driver’s feet, where the clutter was placed, there was a small dusty jar hidden.

Between the swaying of the vehicle, the crunching sound of coins hitting the jar came out from time to time. When the cart driver also left the town where Ralph Manor was located, the weather above the manor gradually cleared up, and the sunlight sprinkled down again, illuminating the Ralph Manor that had already been reduced to ruins.

Suddenly a slab of stone on the ground buckled and a hand reached out from underneath, laboriously lifting the whole thing laboriously aside.

A boy who appeared to be younger than Thor crawled out of the ground, clutching a small, most common sorcery pocket.

The inside of the pocket was bulging, and it looked like it held a lot of stuff.

When he crawled out of the ground, he revealed a body with only the upper half of his body and a block of wood in the cross section of his waist.

If Saul was still here, he would definitely be able to recognize this boy as a student of the third level wizard apprentice Kron, a first level apprentice named Swan.

But now this Swan did not have the panic and dementia he just had, and his face had a complicated look.

Making sure that there was no one else around, Swan began to skillfully recite the spell.

With the sound of the incantation, two thick branches grew from his waist, and with a strong push, they replaced his legs and feet, helping Swann to stand up.

With a sigh of relief, he laboriously placed his heavy pockets on the ground before wiping the grass-scented sweat from his head as soon as he could.

Swann propped open his pocket and looked at it, first seeing a pile of debris.

“Damn, it’s broken again. It’s so thoroughly broken this time that it definitely can’t be fixed. I just don’t know if the land rover guys go back to recycling scrap.”

However, when he saw the magic crystals, gold coins, gems and a few books under the wooden debris, he still grinned happily.

“Today’s harvest isn’t small. It’s also more than enough to buy a new tutor …… Why don’t we buy a female tutor this time?”

Swan licked his lips, briefly falling into some sort of fantasy.

But when he saw the ruins around him, he gathered his untimely excitement again and closed his pockets together, flinging them behind his back to carry them as soon as he could.

“Better get the hell out of here. It’s too scary to see two second-ranked sorcerers popping up all at once! Luckily, they’re not interested in me, a third-rank apprentice.”

Thinking of Victor, who had lured him to the fourth floor of the castle, and that terrifying female sorcerer who had only been heard but not seen, Swan shivered and hurriedly fled the place.

But as he ran to the end of the road and saw the small, ramshackle house beyond the fence, he remembered something else.

“Damn, I think I gave that old woman a gold coin when I inquired about the situation earlier. I can’t afford to waste it like that now that I’ve lost so much.”

Swan convinced himself and took a step towards the room where the old man at the intersection lived.

However, when he walked here, he realized that the door of the room here had opened a small crack.

This made the ever vigilant Swann’s heart “thump”.

He carefully avoided the doorway and looked in through the simple window next to it.

At this look, Swann’s eyes widened.

The old woman inside, still sitting on the small stool, was facing the door.

But she was covered with white mushrooms, densely packed, so oozing.

Only that pair of slightly cloudy eyes were still exposed, looking towards the door with anticipation.

Behind the “mushroom” behind the pile of miscellaneous goods, there are traces of being overturned, especially the old jar containing gold and silver coins, has disappeared.

Swann slowly backed away, ten meters away, and then hurriedly cleaned himself up, fearing that he might be stained with something unclean.

“Been hit first. Who’s so greedy and shameless that they would even rob a commoner?” He cursed in the bottom of his heart and no longer dared to stay, increasing his speed and leaving the street.

Now, there were completely no living people near the street where Ralph Manor was situated.

……

The speed at which Kira’s mount flew was fast, but there was still a gap between it and the speed at which she had descended like thunder when she arrived.

It is assumed that she was disturbed by Victor’s big action, and as a precautionary measure, she turned on “nitrogen acceleration” to come here.

“Thank you for saving me today.” After breaking through the cloud, Saul finally found a chance to speak.

Kira did not look back, “Saving you is just by the way …… Do you know what that second order wizard’s name is?”

Hoping that you have beaten the person away before you thought to ask?
