"We are all recommended students by formal wizards, and we are all apprentices with mentors. There are only about a dozen such apprentices in our class, and we are divided into three teams. It is not a coincidence that the two of us are in the same team."

In other words, although on the surface all apprentices must participate in the mission, in reality, there is still a distinction between noble apprentices and civilian apprentices.

Luna had listened carefully to the destination of each team. Most of the civilian apprentices were going to some remote towns, while noble apprentices like them were going to the city.

Elite apprentices like Claire had already set off several days ago.

Only someone as naive as Senna would think that the team was really formed randomly.

After the teams were assigned, the apprentices in the same team naturally gathered together during the short break before departure.

"Everyone, I am Doller, the team leader. We are all apprentices from the same class, so I believe I don't need to introduce myself in detail."

The chubby boy said with a smile on his face. There was no sign of nervousness on his round face. He glanced at the other team members and paused for a moment on Luna, who was wrapped tightly.

"As you all know, I studied with a mentor and I'm pretty good at Potions. I brought a lot of supplies with me this time, so you can tell me if you need anything."

"Brother Dole! It's great to be on the same team with you. I was really worried before..."

The only other male apprentice in the team, Elder, was a tall, sunny-looking young nobleman. However, he acted like a younger brother in front of Dole, who was a head shorter than him.

"Don't pretend, kid! Don't I know your strength? Your second uncle must have prepared something good for you this time... Let me see!"

"That won't do! Even Brother Dole can't just look at it casually."

Elder chuckled and deliberately moved his left hand aside.

Luna took a look and saw a ring on his hand that exuded a powerful aura. It should be a very good alchemical item.

Regardless of whether they had it before, now these noble apprentices probably each have a powerful alchemical item...well, she herself has one too.

She touched her chest, and the silver necklace was hidden between the full peaks and valleys. It was already stained with her body temperature.

"Well, are there any potions you two ladies need? I have brought some of all kinds of potions here."

"No need! Luna can also make potions, and she's really good at alchemy!"

Senna was not sure about Luna's potion skills, but she knew that her alchemy skills were definitely the best among the apprentices present.

Luna thought about it and decided that it would be better to have a good relationship with her future teammates. She nodded slightly and said:

"If you need anything with alchemy, I can help."

"Wow, it seems our team is pretty good. I was a little scared before."

Elder immediately made an exaggerated expression and looked at Luna with shining eyes. Although she concealed her appearance, everyone knew that this lady was the most beautiful pearl in their class. If it weren't for her a bit cold and her mentor's bad reputation, she would definitely have no shortage of suitors.

"Ms. Luna is the apprentice of the Thousand-Faced Witch. Of course I believe in your alchemy skills."

Dole praised with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the only female apprentice who didn't say much:

"Ms. Hailey, we are all teammates now, so don't keep a straight face."

This plain-looking female apprentice had a gloomy face from the beginning, staring at Luna without saying a word.

Luna was a little confused. She thought for a long time before she reacted:

"Oh, you're the one I beat up."

Hai Li could no longer hold back, she cursed fiercely:

"You! You, a civilian apprentice who relies on pleasing women, are actually on the same team with me! How disgusting!"

"Humph, you can't win but still keep talking tough. Do you still have any self-respect as a wizard?"

Senna was the first to get angry. She had a bad relationship with several female apprentices in the same class, and the one in front of her was one of them.

"Okay, give me some face and put this matter aside for now, how about that?"

Dole used his body to block between the two girls who were about to fight, emitting a strong aura of mental power.

54. Class

In the end, nothing happened.

The female apprentice named Haili stood aside with a cold face, looking like she didn't intend to join them. She probably hoped that the other two male apprentices could come to mediate, but they seemed more willing to talk to Senna and Luna.

After realizing this, Haili's face turned even darker.

Not long after, the short break before departure passed, and the apprentices, led by the official wizards, began to go to their destination to carry out their tasks.

The apprentices first took the alchemical airship to the Principality of Fusa, and left in batches after approaching their respective stations. Luna and her group stayed in the capital of the Ain Province in the east of the Principality for a while before preparing to go to their destination.

"It's a pity that none of our family members are nearby, otherwise it would be a lot easier."

Dole sighed. Among the five members of their team, there are four wizard families, at least baronial. But there is not even one in the Principality of Fusa.

"Let's go, let's go to the local wizard gathering place and buy a carriage."

The others had no objection and went to the local wizard gathering place together.

Although they were not locals, the other apprentices were all from noble families in nearby countries and basically looked accustomed to it. Only Luna found everything new and interesting.

Hai Li, a female apprentice in the team, immediately said sarcastically:

"Hillbilly."

"I think you want to be beaten."

One sentence made the other party angry enough. Luna looked at the capital city of the eastern province. As soon as she got off the alchemy airship, she could feel that it was surrounded by a huge magic array. There were quite a lot of people on the street, many men and women wearing noble clothes, and even most of the civilians looked neatly dressed.

It feels completely different from the port city where Luna once stayed.

But even those nobles with elegant temperaments would step aside respectfully and occasionally utter small exclamations when they saw the young men and women in wizard robes.

The apprentices accepted those admiring and envious looks as if it was a matter of course, exuding a kind of pride.

"There is a top wizard from our Dark Ring stationed in this city all year round. In the current wartime situation, there may be more powerful advanced wizards hiding. It is almost impossible for the disturbances outside to affect here."

Dole said to himself, and he sighed with regret:

"It would be great if our garrison area was here. There are many official wizards here, so we don't have to take risks at all."

Luna's mind moved slightly. In this case, could it be that Claire and the others were stationed in a big city?

Another male apprentice, Elder, chuckled at this time:

"Although the Dark Cliff City we went to is not as good as here, it also has official wizards stationed there. I heard it was Lord Collison, and he and his family are all there. Hehe, if there is anything, the official wizards will take over first, and we are just going there to gain experience."

Luna understood it completely. Apprentices with connections were sent to places where they were not needed at all, while the civilian apprentices were sent to remote towns where there were probably no official wizards.

The four principalities are still under the control of the Dark Ring, with only a small number of vampires infiltrating. Before the all-out war, it was almost unthinkable that those small groups of vampires would attack such a place.

Civilian apprentices with low combat effectiveness are undoubtedly more likely to encounter danger in remote towns, while noble apprentices with top equipment and stronger strength are hiding in well-defended cities. This is undoubtedly extremely unfair.

"Jerry...she can only rely on herself."

Luna has done everything she should do, and she can't influence the organization's task allocation at all. At this time, she can only wish them well in her heart.

"Once we get to Dark Cliff City, there are official wizards there, and there is a magic array protection that the master's family has been operating for many years. We just need to provide some assistance. If the wizard Colison doesn't want to offend the families behind us, he probably won't assign us too difficult tasks."

Dole smiled and jokingly said:

"After we get there, we still have to show some respect to that gentleman. After all, he is the local boss. But if he doesn't want to show any mercy, we still have other options."

Behind the five apprentices are at least five official wizards. Even these apprentices from different families can influence more than one official wizard.

"Of course, that's the worst case scenario. I still hope that Mr. Collison will be sensible."

When it comes to their lives and property, these noble apprentices will not pretend in front of official wizards as usual.

Luna listened at the side with mixed feelings. She had relied on Claire and Enissa's influence to blend in on the edge of this circle, and it seemed that she had gained some benefits.

But she hopes that one day she will be able to rely on herself and not be afraid of anything.

The group of five entered the gathering place of wizards, which was located on the outskirts of the city and was covered by a large wizard formation. With the help of the badge of the Dark Ring, they successfully entered.

"Hey, we want to buy a carriage. Take us to the corresponding store."

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Elder immediately found an apprentice in simple clothes and threw a magic stone over to him.

The apprentice who received the magic stone immediately showed joy on his face. He looked to be in his twenties and was still a beginner apprentice. He did not mind the boy's somewhat rude attitude at all and nodded very respectfully:

"You are all new to the Dark Ring Headquarters, right? Several groups of noble gentlemen have arrived recently. The enchanted carriages are in short supply. Please follow me..."

The apprentices at the Dark Ring headquarters were also divided into different levels. Obviously, the clothes and temperament of these apprentices were not comparable to those of ordinary apprentices. If they closed a big deal with his introduction, he would also get a share.

The apprentice took them to the shop with a happy face.

The so-called carriages used by the apprentices were of course not ordinary ones. Instead, they had certain magical protection, similar to large alchemical items.

"Everyone, these three carriages were enchanted by Master Colen using alchemy. They are absolutely top-quality products, with shock-absorbing and protective effects..."

The shop owner was a middle-aged man with a weathered face. His ability had reached that of a high-level apprentice. He seemed to have noticed the extraordinary qualities of the young boys and girls, and he introduced them enthusiastically without any airs.

"Ms. Luna, please help me take a look."

Dole pointed to the three luxurious carriages displayed in the shop and spoke.

Luna, wearing a loose wizard robe, looked a little mysterious to outsiders. After looking around for a few times, she chose the one on the left:

"This is it. This feels better."

"This lady has a really good eye! In fact, the other two were made with the help of Master Colen's apprentices, and only this one was made by the master himself. It's just that the price..."

The little fat man waved his hand and said proudly:

"That's it. I'll pay the bill."

55. sneak attack

Soon, the five apprentices boarded the enchanted carriage, left the city, and headed towards their mission destination.

The so-called enchantment was actually just some speed-up and protection magic arrays, and the effect was average. At least it was enough to resist some stray arrows shot by rural bandits, but the protection against witchcraft was much worse. After all, it was just an apprentice-level thing.

Anyway, Luna would not spend sixty magic stones to buy something that would only be used a few times.

"Not bad, there are alchemists with decent skills in this kind of place."

Dole sat on one side of the carriage, touched the seat padded with precious fur, and smiled relaxedly.

Three female apprentices sat on one side, and two male apprentices sat on the other side. Luna and Senna were closer, while Haili was far away from them, almost sitting on the edge of the other end.

"My Lords, we will set off immediately."

A middle-aged coachman confirmed it carefully. He did not look unnatural when addressing the teenagers, who were only in their teens, as "adults".

Because it was an enchanted carriage, the horses also had magical beast blood, and even the coachman was a beginner apprentice. But obviously considering his age, his talent could only be described as horrible.

"Well, let's go. Don't disturb us if you don't have anything."

After only ten minutes of traveling, Dole, with his eyes slightly narrowed, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the carriage:

"It seems like someone is a little dishonest. Don't you think so, Miss Luna?"

Luna was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"That black-scaled horse has been marked with drugs. I think someone will come after it soon."

"It seems like you are really looked down upon for playing such a trick in front of our powerful Potions Apprentice."

The fat on Dole's face trembled a few times, but he still seemed to be smiling.

The other three apprentices were surprised for a moment, but seeing how calm they were, they quickly calmed down.

Luna didn't relax too much. After all, there were five mid-level apprentices here. If someone dared to do something, he must have some confidence.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with the carriage itself?"

"No. The customers valued the magic array on the carriage the most, so they simply tampered with the horses."

"That's good. I quite like this carriage."

After hearing the conversation, Senna belatedly asked:
