Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 360 Corrupt Forest
"You mean, the void crack that appeared over the city of Nuoer seven days ago?"

Sa Ling thought for a moment, and said seriously, "The void cracks only lasted for three days after they were formed, and then returned to their normal state."

"However, according to Master Gustav, in order to prevent accidents from happening, the rainproof cover of the wizard array outside Noel City has not been lifted at present, and the wizards will take turns to guard it."

"Is it... over?"

Enzo's eyes shone with luster, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The upheaval in the world lasted for three days, and it was completely over, which meant that the war between the First Expeditionary Army and the Tree of Aiqila had come to an end.

"Master, Lord Gustav sent a message this morning, please go to the sixth tallest tower." At this moment, Sa Ling who was beside her suddenly said.

"The mentor summoned me?"

Enzo frowned, subconsciously took out the Phantom Crow Medal from his arms, and was startled when he saw more than ten messages on it.

It turned out that three days ago, Gustav kept sending out messages, summoning Enzo to the sixth tower, and there were a total of twelve messages.

But without a response, Gustav had no choice but to send someone to the Wizard's Tower to notify Enzo in a more direct way.

"Sa Ling, prepare hot water, I want to take a shower, and get a set of clean clothes." Enzuo got up from the bed, and then ordered.

Sa Ling immediately turned and left, following Enzo's order.

Half an hour later, Enzo put on a clean black robe and came out of the bathroom refreshed.

After he recovered, he immediately went to the sixth tallest tower and took the elevator to the top floor.

"Good day, mentor!" Enzo saluted.

"Enzo is here, please sit down first?" In a spacious room, Gustav was sitting behind a desk processing documents.

Seeing Enzo come in, he raised his hand with a chuckle, and the fallen spirit maid next to him immediately moved a chair for Enzo to sit down.

Afterwards, the two fallen maids left the room.

"How is it? How is your recovery?" Gustav raised his head and asked softly.

"It's not bad, it's relatively smooth."

Enzo nodded. His promotion to the second-tier wizard this time can be regarded as smooth sailing. With the help of the energy feedback from the Sanizo Tree, he broke the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

"What a lucky little guy!"

Gustav chuckled and shook his head, with an expression of emotion on his face, and said, "Compared to my experience of being promoted to the second-level wizard in a desperate situation on the battlefield, your process of promoting to the second-level wizard is really enviable!"

Enzuo smiled, changed the subject, and asked, "By the way, mentor, is there anything you need to summon me in such a hurry?"

"Yes, there is a task for you to perform."

Gustav nodded slightly, and pondered, "According to the news from the Great Wall Fortress, the First Expeditionary Force led by Dean Frosley has already occupied the Lazier Forest!"

"The Rachel Forest has been breached?"

Enzo's pupils shrank, and the luster in his eyes gleamed. The Lazier Forest is the place where the Tree of Akira sleeps, and it is also the last territory of the Children of the Forest.

The breach of Raziel Forest means that the Children of the Forest have lost their last habitat, and this expedition can also be declared over.

"How is the Tree of Aiqila?" Enzo raised his head quickly and asked.

As the only fourth-order life form in this world, the power possessed by the tree of Aiqila is completely comparable to that of a god. If it cannot be solved, then even if the wizard civilization completely occupies this world, it will be meaningless.

"As far as I know, the threat of the Tree of Elkira no longer exists!" Gustav said in a deep voice.

Enzo's pupils narrowed sharply, and he sucked in a breath of cold air.

"The specific details of the final battle, even the First Expeditionary Force as a participant, cannot be described in detail."

"However, according to the information from the Iron Wall Great Wall Fortress, the Tree of Aiqila was originally in a dormant state, but was forcibly awakened by the Children of the Forest. Before its power was fully recovered, it confronted Dean Frosley!"

"Principal Frosley used the beast Ochino to finally defeat the Tree of Ekira. The battle between the two destroyed the entire Lazier Forest, and even affected the rules of this world!"

"That's why, seven days ago, anomalies such as void cracks appeared one after another in the sky around the world."

Enzo's eyes flickered, and his thoughts changed.

Immediately afterwards, Gustav continued, "After the tree of Aiqila was defeated, it did not fall completely, but fell into a state of silence that was more serious than sleeping, and could no longer pose a threat to wizard civilization."

"And after the final battle, Dean Frosley also suffered severe trauma and was brought back to the Great Wall Fortress in a state of near death!"

"The current supreme commander of the expeditionary force has been taken over by Dean Mitchell."

Enzo's face was thoughtful, and he had a certain understanding of the current situation.

First, with the Tree of Akira defeated and the Raziel Forest destroyed, the expedition can be declared over.What the wizarding civilization has to do next is to gradually take over the world.

Dean Frosley's serious injury and retirement obviously involved more secretive matters. After becoming an official wizard, Enzo obtained a lot of information that he could not understand during his apprenticeship, one of which included the conditions for a third-level wizard to be promoted to a fourth-level .

Just like what Gustav had revealed before the start of the expedition, the coordinates are the key for a third-level wizard to advance to the fourth level!

The wizard civilization led by Dean Frosley has completely conquered the world, so for him, the most direct benefit is to be promoted to the fourth rank!
However, even Gustav didn't know the specific process of the promotion of the third-tier wizard, but according to Enzo's speculation, this process probably involves the rules of the world.

"For me, the fourth-order wizard is still too far away."

Enzo shook his head, dispelled the thoughts in his mind, raised his head, and asked, "Since Dean Frosley has defeated the tree of Akira, and the wizard civilization has conquered this world, what other tasks do I need to perform?" Woolen cloth?"

"That's exactly what I'm going to say next."

Gustav paused, and said in a deep voice, "After the final battle, the Tree of Akira fell into silence, and the Lazier Forest was also destroyed."

"Most of the few remaining children of the forest were captured by the expeditionary army, and a small number fled the battlefield taking advantage of the chaos at the time!"

"After the Tree of Ekira falls silent, the rules of this world will gradually change, making it less and less suitable for the children of the forest to survive."

"However, in order to prevent those escaped forest children from threatening the rule of wizard civilization in desperation, Vice President Mitchell decided to clean up all the forest children in this world with a carpet search!"

"According to the information from the fortress, there is a child of the forest fleeing from the battlefield, which happens to be in the area of ​​Noel City."

"So, the instructor wants me to be responsible for capturing the children of the forest who fled to the Nuoer City area?" Enzo frowned, his face a little surprised.

As the Tree of Aiqila fell into silence, the strength of the Children of the Forest family would become weaker than ever. Today, it is impossible for any of the Children of the Forest to display the combat effectiveness of a second-order life form.

In this case, the task of capturing the Son of the Forest can be regarded as very easy, and even a wizard can be sent at random to complete it. Gustav doesn't need to use a second-level wizard like Enzo at all.

"If you just want to capture the children of the forest, you don't need to use the power of a second-tier wizard."

As if seeing Enzo's doubts, Gustav shook his head and said, "After the child of the forest fled to the area of ​​Noel City, I judged that she should be hiding in the corrupt forest, so I sent three official wizards to arrest her." .”

"What's the result?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

Now that the location of the Children of the Forest has been calculated, the next thing should be very simple. The Children of the Forest who lost the protection of the Tree of Akira are now almost extremely weak.

"As I deduced, the target is indeed hidden in the forest of corruption."

Gustav paused, and said in a deep voice, "However, there were still some accidents. When the three wizards I sent arrived at the corrupt forest, they only found the corpse of the child of the forest!"

"Corpse?" Enzo narrowed his eyes.

"That's right, something in the corrupt forest killed the Child of the Forest and sucked the blood out of her body, leaving only the body and skin hanging on the tree." Gustav said slowly.

"What could it be? Could kill the Children of the Forest?"

Enzo stroked his chin, the luster in his eyes flickered slightly, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

The Children of the Forest family belonged to the second-order lifeforms. Although they had fallen into an extremely weak state following the silence of the tree of Aiqila, they could barely display the combat effectiveness of the first-order lifeforms.

The Corrupted Forest is just a remote forest near Noel City. The most powerful creature in it, perhaps the Limebear, cannot have the power to kill the Children of the Forest.

"I don't know what it is that sucked the blood of the children of the forest."

Gustav spread his hands and said, "So I plan to ask you to investigate, and it can be regarded as an explanation for this matter."

Enzo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, mentor, I'm leaving now."

"No rush." ​​Gustav shook his head, and said, "The three wizards I sent have brought the body of the Son of the Forest back to the tower. You may go to the laboratory before this mission begins." Check it out and learn more about it.”

"Is that so? Good."

Enzo thought for a while, nodded slightly, then stroked Gustav's chest and saluted, then left the room and went to the High Tower Laboratory.

……

"Is this the corpse of the Son of the Forest?"

When he came to the High Tower Laboratory, Enzo looked at the biological specimens soaked in the transparent liquid in front of him, with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Yes, my lord wizard."

Next to it, the Fallen Spirit, who was in charge of managing the biological samples in the laboratory, replied with a serious expression, "This corpse was in this state when it was first sent to the laboratory, and no one has ever lifted it."

Enzo nodded slightly, and the Son of the Forest next to him saluted and retreated.

"The child of the forest after the whole body's blood was pumped turned out to be like this..."

Enzo stroked his chin, his eyes flashed with thought, the corpse in front of him was completely drained of blood, and even though it was soaked in the transparent liquid, it was still limp like a shriveled skin.

"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his heart.

As the main body was promoted to the second-level wizard, the mental power broke through 20 points, the soul was transformed again, and the chip seemed to have a new upgrade.

After using the scanning function of the chip, a large amount of information and data appeared in front of Enzo's eyes, all about the corpse of the Son of the Forest, obviously more detailed than before.

"The cause of death of the corpse is that the blood was drained, and at the same time, the natural energy representing the source of life of the children of the forest was also swallowed up."

"The duration of the whole process is likely to be only a moment. When the child of the forest faced the unknown creature, he was killed without any resistance..."

"Although the Children of the Forest family is in decline, they still retain at least the strength of a first-order life form, and they were killed without any resistance. This means that the unknown creatures she faces are at least at the level of a second-order life form!"

Enzo's eyes flashed with thought. Through the data obtained by scanning the chip, he analyzed the cause of death of the child of the forest and deduced the class of the unknown creature.

"Huh? What is that?"

Suddenly, Enzo noticed that on the corpse of the Son of the Forest in front of him, there was a very hidden long and thin wound on the back of the head, which could not be found without careful observation.

Enzo hesitated, and opened the glass cover that soaked the corpse of the Son of the Forest from above.

"This is……"

Coming to the top of the glass cover, Enzo put his finger into the transparent liquid, poked the back of the corpse lightly, and found that the back of the head was sunken.

"it is as expected!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, and he opened the slender wound on the back of the corpse with his fingers, and found that inside the wound, the brain that originally belonged to the child of the forest had become an empty shell.

"After discovering the child of the forest, the unknown creature devoured the blood and life force, and also took away the brain of the child of the forest."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzuo's face, and he murmured, "This kind of method seems familiar..."

Afterwards, Enzo turned and left the laboratory.

Having obtained enough information, Enzo made a preliminary deduction about the identity of the unknown creature, so he decided to go to the Corruption Forest immediately.

"Hull! Hull!"

As soon as he stepped out of the high tower, Enzo saw not far away, a short green goblin screaming into the air.

"There are at least three grammatical mistakes in your sentence just now." Enzo shook his head, and walked towards the Green Demons.

"The language of these green-skinned monsters is disgusting!"

The little green goblin complained, and then his figure changed. A few seconds later, he turned into a black-feathered crow, flapping his wings and landing on Enzo's shoulder.

"I've just mastered the changing forms of those green-skinned monsters, but I can't learn their language anyway." Swain said while combing the feathers with his beak.

"Take your time, don't rush."

Enzo raised his finger, stroked Swain's little head with a chuckle, and said, "Language is a very complicated knowledge, and it needs to be learned over time."

"By the way, Swain, how many biological transformation forms have you mastered?"
