Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 626 Emerald City

After the cursed castle was broken, everyone appeared in a wasteland.

"Excuse me, sir, is there anything we can do for you?"

The white-robed wizard pondered for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "The Starlink Kingdom has been sent back to the academy under the abyss forbidden area. I wonder if Mr. Mitchell has any arrangements for this place?"

Enzo didn't answer, but looked around.

In his mind, the map of the entire Xingtong Kingdom has emerged, and this wasteland is not far from the Emerald City.

"Does any of you know about the Emerald City?" Enzo raised his head and asked everyone.

"Emerald City?"

A hint of doubt appeared on the face of the bald wizard Xia Zuo, and he said, "I know where it is. I visited a friend there before the restricted area of ​​the abyss appeared. I don't know why Your Excellency Enzuo asked this."

"Have you ever been to the Emerald City, do you know Wizard Bourne?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

The bald wizard Xia Zuo nodded and said, "My friend in Emerald City is Wizard Bourne. He married my sister decades ago, so strictly speaking, we are still related."

A look of surprise appeared on Enzo's face.

The Starlink Kingdom is just one of hundreds of kingdoms in the Dark Pole Domain. There are no more than fifty wizards in the entire kingdom, and most of them are from the Campbell family, so they almost all know each other.

"What happened to Bourne when you left the Emerald City?" Enzo asked.

The reason why Enzo entered the restricted area of ​​the abyss was mainly to find Bourne. After confirming the safety of the old man, he prepared to conduct a comprehensive exploration operation.

"Before I left, everything in Emerald City was normal."

The bald wizard Xia Zuo replied honestly, "Before Bourne still wanted to complain to me. Recently, the resources for cultivation have become less and less. He still needs to prepare for at least 20 years before he has a chance to hit the second-order wizard realm."

"But no one expected that the restricted area of ​​the abyss would appear!"

The bald-headed wizard Xia Zuo spoke with an ugly expression on his face, looking at the surrounding wilderness shrouded in the abyss, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

As for the reactions of others, it is even more so.

Those extraordinary knights are all followers of wizards. If even wizards can't break the restricted area of ​​the abyss, then they are even more impossible.

The white-robed wizard raised his head and looked at Enzo expectantly.

Among the people present, this mysterious sorcerer is undoubtedly the strongest, possessing at least the strength above the second level, perhaps as long as he has the ability, he can lead everyone out of the restricted area of ​​the abyss to a safe place.

Enzo ignored everyone's expectant eyes.

There are dangers everywhere in the restricted area of ​​the abyss. Although Enzo is not afraid, it is obviously troublesome to bring a bunch of oil bottles. He came to the restricted area of ​​the abyss mainly to find Bourne, and he has no obligation to help others at all.

The reason why he took action to break the curse of the castle was just a matter of convenience.

"You find a place to hide."

Enzo said in a calm tone, "I'm going to the Emerald City, and I'll start exploring later. Before the restricted area of ​​the abyss erupts completely, if you still want to live, you should find a refuge as soon as possible."

After saying that, Enzo turned into a shadow and disappeared in place.

The bald-headed wizard Xia Zuo and the others suddenly changed their expressions, but before they could speak, Enzuo had already disappeared without a trace. They looked at each other, and they could see the unease in each other's eyes.

"What should we do now?" the white-robed wizard said in a low voice.

"Follow that wizard Enzo's advice and find a place to hide." The bald wizard Xia Zuo also had a hint of helplessness on his face. He originally planned to seek Enzo's help, but he didn't expect that the other party would not give them a chance at all.

After discussing for a while, everyone made a decision.

Since Enzo suggested that they hide, it also means that in the next period of time, a major incident is likely to occur in the restricted area of ​​the abyss, and a first-order wizard or extraordinary knight will be involved in it, and there is a possibility of death.

Therefore, hiding is undoubtedly the best way.

On the other side, after Enzo separated from the crowd, he also turned into a shadow and headed towards the Emerald City.

It has been many years since he has used this way to move forward, but Enzo does not feel strange at all. The path he walks is the shadow, and after being promoted to the wizard of all souls, he can be called the incarnation of the shadow.

Not long after, a city appeared in front of him.

The surrounding area is surrounded by a strong abyssal atmosphere. The black mist seems to cover everything, and the sunlight cannot reach here at all. However, because the city wall itself is built with a kind of green rock, it reveals a hint of emerald-like luster.

This is the Emerald City!
Among the sixteen cities in the Starlink Kingdom, the Emerald City is not special, and the nearby resource points are not rich, but it is still one of the territories that the Campbell family wizards are fighting for.

As a foreign wizard, the reason why Bourne was able to become the lord of this city was not only that he was a wizard of the Phantom of Crows, but more importantly, he married a woman from the Campbell family, a third-level apprentice studying at Phantom of Crows.

Strictly speaking, there is still a master-student relationship between Byrne and his wife.

After decades of struggling on the path of a wizard, Bourne was lucky to be promoted to a full-time wizard. Because he was born in the Phantom of Crows, like most wizards, he chose to stay in the academy to become a mentor after becoming a full-fledged wizard.

As a mentor, he naturally has the power to recruit disciples.

At that time, Bourne had already established some connections with the Campbell family, and while accepting the offerings from the Campbell family, he also had to pay some price.

So, in the current batch of apprentices, the Campbell family sent a girl.

The talent is only third-class, which is not very good, but it has already surpassed Bourne. At the request of the Campbell family, Bourne took the girl as a disciple, and according to the principle of equivalent exchange in the wizarding world, he became the leader of the girl's wizarding path.

Ten years passed quickly.

Bourne, who has become an official wizard, has stabilized his realm, and Judith, the girl from the Campbell family, was also promoted to a third-level apprentice with the help of the family and mentor.

Accompanied day and night for more than ten years, Bourne and Judith developed feelings.

In the world of wizards, it is not unusual for disciples and mentors to become partners. With the urging of the Campbell family, Bourne married Judith as his partner after some consideration.

After that, he left the academy.

The Campbell family handed over the Emerald City to Bourne as his resource territory. According to Bourne's plan, he only needs 30 years of operation, and he can get a chance to attack the second-tier wizards, although the success rate is less than one-tenth.

But even so, it was enough for Byrne.

His wizard talent is not outstanding, and he has already had a lot of luck to become an official wizard. It is an attempt to hit the second-order wizard, and the success rate is still very small with the help of a lot of resources.

Marrying Judith as a partner and obtaining the Emerald City as a territory, Bourne thought that his life would be spent in peace, but he did not expect that the fallen wizard of the Skeleton Castle was acting wantonly in the Starlink Kingdom for some reason.

It is precisely because of the evil behavior of those fallen wizards that directly led to the formation of the restricted area of ​​the abyss!
"Why can't I feel Bourne's breath?"

Outside the Emerald City, on the barren plain, Enzo looked at the green city in the distance, with a look of doubt on his face.

The city shrouded in the breath of the abyss seems to be isolated from everything outside.

Enzo tried to perceive with mental power, but found that he couldn't enter the Emerald City with his thoughts, as if the rules here had been completely disordered.

He couldn't sense Bourne's presence.

Even, it is impossible to perceive everything in the Emerald City, and it is not even clear whether there are survivors inside.

On the spot, Enzo's eyes flashed.

He raised his arms and spread out his palms. There was a dim light in his palms, and he turned into an illusory crow and flew towards the Emerald City.

The crow transformed by magic soon entered the Emerald City.

This time, Enzo finally saw the scene inside the Emerald City. The once prosperous streets of the Emerald City looked extremely desolate at this moment. The phantom crow was flying in the sky, and the dark eyes were looking down.

At the corner of the street, an abnormality was finally discovered.

A few gluttonous demons with big bellies were wandering around, as if searching for food in the Emerald City, infected by the breath of the abyss, and the alienated humans became bloodthirsty and crazy.

After hours of getting nothing, the master gluttons began to get restless.

They even became greedy when they looked at their companions. They didn't know that it was the gluttonous demon who roared first, and then threw a companion to the ground with one gulp, biting fiercely.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic.

It is perfectly normal for humans to appear in the restricted area of ​​the abyss. Enzo has no interest in the mutual killing of the gluttonous demons. He is ready to drive the phantom crow to move forward with a thought.

But at this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Not far away, in a tall church-like building, a figure shrouded in gray robes appeared. He was holding an oil lamp in his hand. The burning lamp oil exuded a strange smell. After seeing it, the gluttonous demons all showed longing expressions.

"The taste of food!"

A gluttonous demon roared hoarsely, and uncontrollably rushed towards the gray-robed man. The thin gray-robed man looked unusually calm. He snapped his fingers casually, and the head of the gluttonous demon burst.

Bang!
The headless corpse fell to the ground, and the rest of the gluttonous demons immediately swarmed up and devoured the corpses of their companions. However, no matter how much they ate, becoming a gluttonous demon meant being forever hungry and a slave to gluttony.

Immediately afterwards, two more men in gray robes with lanterns appeared.

"How is it? How is your situation here?"

The three men in gray robes with lanterns obviously knew each other. When they met each other, they looked at the lanterns in each other's hands. One of them said enviously, "Looking at the brightness of your soul-snatching lamp, I'm afraid you have captured at least five hundred souls?"

"There, isn't your side going well?"

"Well, the Emerald City is within the territory of the Xingtong Kingdom, and it can be considered a large city. However, after the formation of the Abyss Forbidden Zone, all members of the organization rushed here. Now it is really difficult to catch a fallen soul."

One of the men in gray robes with lanterns complained.

"Hey, we're pretty good here." Beside him, another man in gray robe with a lantern said, "I just came from Windmill Town three days ago, and the situation there is really bad. Almost all the civilians in the town are dead. , and their souls were taken away."

"Stop talking, hurry up and get to work."

At this time, a man in a gray robe with a lantern shook his head and said, "The task assigned to us by the instructor has not been completed, and I will be punished again later. I don't want to be locked in a water prison anymore."

Thinking of the horror of the Water Prison Law, the three men in gray robes with lanterns trembled.

At the same time, outside the Emerald City.

Enzo has seen everything that happened in the city through the vision of the phantom crow. From the conversations of the three people in gray robes with lanterns, it seems to be confirmed that they are all apprentices from the Skeleton Castle, and they are carrying out the mission of the mentor.

As for the content of their tasks, it is naturally self-evident.

The lantern in his hand should be some kind of magical item, which can collect souls. The main reason why the Skeleton Castle is in the Kingdom of Xingtong, at least the restricted area of ​​the abyss, is to plunder souls.

After becoming an organization of fallen wizards, the behavior of Skull Castle has completely gone to the extreme of evil.

Even the high-level wizards inside have already begun to seek refuge in the abyss.

They plan to use the restricted area of ​​the abyss to carry out evil abyss sacrifices. By offering sacrifices to the gluttonous demon god, they will gain more powerful power, and then they will directly fall into the embrace of the abyss.

This is basically the only way for fallen wizards.

The soul is the common currency of the abyss world, and its representative meaning is like the magic stone in the wizard world. Most demon lords can increase their strength by devouring souls.

The key to offering sacrifices to the Gluttonous Demon God lies in the human soul.

Only by capturing enough souls can it attract the attention of the Gluttonous Demon God, thereby lowering the power to promote the fallen wizards. Now the entire Starlink Kingdom is full of fallen wizards who harvest souls.

In Emerald City, the three fallen people finished talking.

They are all just external members of the Skeleton Castle. Before they have been promoted to the level of a first-order wizard, their status is not high. They need to complete a certain number of tasks every day to avoid the punishment of the mentor.

But now, it is still far from the mission target.

After the three of them talked, they prepared to leave separately. However, at this moment, a fallen person noticed an illusory crow in the sky.

"Look! What is that?"

A trace of doubt appeared on the face of the gray-robed fallen man holding the lantern. He had never seen the Phantom Crow, but he just felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Following the direction of the companion's finger, the other two fallen people also looked at them.

The next moment, the phantom crow opened its mouth.

From the mouth like an endless vortex, a group of shadows slowly drilled out, and then fell on the ground and turned into a human form. It was Enzo outside the Emerald City.

The rules of the abyss restricted area are disordered, resulting in the restriction of wizard abilities.

However, it is still a breeze for Enzo, a fourth-level wizard, to perform teleportation-like spells through the phantom crow.
