Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

"Huh? Is that the alchemy shop? They gave us a discount just now, I thought they were good people!"

Luna was a little speechless, but she had long been accustomed to this girl's stupidity. She patiently explained:

"The transaction was too quick and the offer was too generous, which aroused the other party's covetousness. After all, none of us is a high-level apprentice."

If someone could really catch them all, the rewards would be huge and they could make a fortune. But the other party probably underestimated how wealthy they were.

Being rich itself represents power.

"Ah, here they come. One high-level apprentice and three mid-level apprentices. It's the store manager from before."

Luna's advance words surprised the other apprentices, and Hailey even questioned directly:

"How could you, a mid-level apprentice, discover it before us?"

"It's none of your business."

At this time, Luna's spiritual power was connected to an alchemical puppet hundreds of meters behind her. A palm-sized bird was circling in the air, and below it were several black-robed masked men riding horses.

With Luna's insight close to that of a formal wizard, she could easily tell their strengths.

"I kind of want to give it a try. How about leaving it to me? Just wait for me in the front."

She asked anyway. This immediately surprised the male apprentice, Elder, and he immediately stood up and said in a loud voice:

"How can you let Miss Luna do such a dangerous thing? I can help!"

Dole, who was standing by, held him down, looked at Luna meaningfully, and said with a smile:

"Since Miss Luna is willing, let her do it. Don't you believe in the strength of the Thousand-Faced Witch's disciples?"

Elder touched the ring on his finger, as if he had found the answer. He said nothing more.

"Then I'll be gone for a while."

Luna jumped lightly from the back of the carriage, casually cast an acceleration spell and landed smoothly.

The carriage behind continued to move forward, while the masked apprentices in front with bad intentions were getting closer.

"Actual combat is the only criterion for testing truth. I hope I haven't created some garbage."

Three small puppets flew out of her pocket one after another and flew over there. She wanted to try whether this alchemical tool that had condensed a lot of her efforts could kill a high-level apprentice.

"If I can help it, I'd rather not meet you guys."

She sat down beside the bushes and concentrated on controlling the puppet.

.......

"Hurry up! We're almost catching up! We have to kill them in Red Leaf Valley!"

Morto was the high-level apprentice who was in charge of the alchemy shop in the gathering place. His originally kind face was now filled with excitement and ferocity.

"A bunch of noble young masters and young ladies, killing them would probably earn us more than what we have earned from working hard for ten years!"

Of course, he knew that these noble apprentices might be difficult to deal with and would have some tricky cards. But he also believed that he, an experienced high-level apprentice, could kill these hothouse flowers.

"We have set up an alchemical bomb at the entrance to Red Leaf Valley. When the carriage passes by, we should be able to launch it suddenly and deal a heavy blow to them. Even if there are still survivors, they will not be our opponents!"

Morto's heart was burning with excitement. In fact, he believed that the batch of alchemical bombs that had been arranged in advance were enough to completely destroy the enemy, and they were just there to clean up the mess.

The biggest drawback of the alchemical bomb is that it is difficult to use, but it is definitely not lacking in power.

——Hearing this, Luna was also slightly shocked. These people were not fools. Even if the noble apprentices had powerful alchemical items, if they were suddenly attacked and had no time to activate them, with the apprentices' delicate constitutions, there might be casualties.

Of course, she was definitely not among them.

"It's a pity that you can't get there anymore. The alchemical bombs that were set up in advance...will never explode."

The four masked apprentices were completely unaware that there were four invisible beings flying above their heads, hovering behind their heads one by one.

Swish!

Instantly, a subtle elemental fluctuation appeared in the sky. An extremely fast airflow cut through the air in an instant, slashing towards the necks of the masked apprentices.

"Varied......"

Before they could even react, the three mid-level apprentices had already been torn apart. The only one still alive, Morto, was holding his bleeding neck, with a broken magic shield in front of him.

Bang!

He was so frightened that he lost his balance and fell off the horse. He rolled several times before stopping, covered in dust.

He looked up and saw four birds with a slight metallic luster in the sky, which had already taken shape and were circling above his head.

56. Test results

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill them all in one go."

Luna looked down at the scene from high above through the puppet. The throats of the remaining three apprentices had been cut, and the remaining senior apprentice was staring at the sky in shock and anger.

Because the puppet was too small, the wind blade technique it carried was actually less powerful than a normal trick. But combined with its ability to be invisible and sneak attack, it was enough for an apprentice who didn't have any special skills.

"The reaction speed and spellcasting ability of high-level apprentices are much stronger. It seems that it is not that simple."

After all, it was a simultaneous attack on four people, so the noise was a bit loud. The senior apprentice reacted in the split second before the attack came and used the shield technique to block the attack.

"But it's not over yet."

Luna continued to concentrate on the controls.

On the other hand, the sudden death of his companion had completely shocked the senior apprentice.

Whoosh!

After Morto's hair-raising panic, he was immediately filled with incomparable anger. He continued to perform magic tricks towards the sky, and red fireballs flew into the air, exploding into fireworks.

boom! boom! boom!

Balls of heat and flames exploded beside the tiny puppet, but because the latter was too small and quite agile, it suffered almost no damage and quickly distanced itself from it.

The puppet flapped its wings, and its figure gradually became blurred, blending into the background sky again.

"Damn it! Come out and fight me head-on if you can!"

Swish!

The only response he got was a small wind blade that came down from the sky and was blocked by a shield.

Swish!

Before he could rejoice, another attack came from another direction and was blocked by the shield again.

"You can't kill me anymore! Just be prepared. This level of attack is useless!"

Morto shouted hoarsely. He saw the blood-stained dust around him and several of his companions who had become corpses without any tricks, and his originally burning anger gradually cooled down.

"Since we can't do anything to each other, why don't we just let it go? Even if you let me go, I won't move forward!"

Swish!

In response, another wind blade cut a crack in the ground at his feet.

Morto's face turned pale. He had realized that the other party had no intention of ending it so easily. He took a few deep breaths and continued:

"Okay! I admit, I was wrong!"

He kept scanning the sky around him, but could not find any trace of those puppets.

"Most of my property is in the gathering place! As long as you let me go, I can give you my shop and savings, and we can also sign a witchcraft contract...as long as you are willing to let me go!"

At this time, Luna was also thinking.

The puppet still has flaws. The initial sneak attack was indeed very useful, but once the opponent was alert, the power was still too low.

Moreover, with the senior apprentices on full alert, she didn't dare let the puppet get too close.

The most crucial thing is that each puppet is only equipped with two wind blades, which have been almost used up now, and must be recharged after a period of time before they can be used again.

"How could I do such a stupid thing as to ask me to come out and sign a contract with you? I have no intention of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, so I can only let you have a taste of that..."

Swish!

The last wind blade hit Morto's side, causing him to freeze again just as he was about to take action.

Morto didn't know that the magic on the puppet had been used up. The mount had long since run away. The long journey from the wild back to the city would be crazy if you were attacked from the sky from time to time!

"You really don't intend to let me go!"

He shouted angrily, but his left hand had already reached into his pocket and grasped a small scroll.

Just as he was about to break out by force, he suddenly saw something unusual happening in the sky.

The four puppets briefly appeared, their chubby bellies suddenly split open, and they surrounded Morto in the center and dropped something from four directions. They were four round objects that exuded a metallic luster.

"!"

Morto was extremely shocked, he had already recognized what that thing was - for many years, he had relied on this thing to ambush his prey, and it was quite useful.

"If it's just the Thunderfire Type 1..."

This senior apprentice finally tried his best to release the largest and strongest shield spell in his life, and then tore open the scroll in his arms to add a layer of defense on the outside.

boom!

Four alchemical bombs exploded at the same time, and heat waves and metal fragments covered an area of ​​dozens of meters. The violent force tore apart everything around it, and the nearby grass and trees turned to ashes.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only a charred corpse was left.

"Unfortunately, this is Thunderfire Type II."

Not long after, Luna stood up from the grass by the roadside and brushed the weeds off her body.

Four puppets flew over from behind, each holding a small cloth bag in their mouths.

Luna took it and looked through it. There were some magic stones and elementary magic potions inside, but nothing else rare.

"There's nothing here. Sure enough, those who come out to rob are all poor people."

The only high-level apprentice with money probably has most of his wealth in the shop he runs, and it's not easy for Luna to go back and take over. Who knows if that lucky guy will get the money in the end.

"It's more than enough to recover the cost. But the most important thing is to test the combat capability."

Luna was quite satisfied with this actual combat. Her puppets were almost a deadly weapon against apprentices below the high level. It was difficult for high-level apprentices who were alone to escape.

Her psychological price for this set of puppets was eight hundred to one thousand magic stones. Judging from the current performance, it was already worth the huge price for an apprentice.

Luna quickly caught up with the carriage that was waiting slowly in front and returned to the carriage.

"How was it? You must have killed them all!"

When Senna saw her coming back, her brows raised and she shouted excitedly.

Another female apprentice, Haili, glanced at her and saw that she didn't seem to be injured. She immediately turned her head away and didn't say anything in the end.

The two male apprentices were also waiting for the answer with great curiosity.

Luna thought about it and answered casually:

"I used some tricks to scare them away. We didn't fight them head-on. Anyway, they won't chase us again."

It's true that there was no head-on confrontation.

Dole clapped his hands and said without surprise:

"As expected of Miss Luna."

"There are high-level apprentices in there! You are so casual. From now on, you are my big sister!"

Elder suddenly became a little excited and put on an admiring look.

The carriage was briefly bustling with activity, and Luna exchanged a few words with them. After a while, the apprentices returned to their own meditation.

Luna could sense that no matter what these noble apprentices said, they generally didn't take wild wizards seriously, even if they were higher-ranked than them. She didn't know whether this mentality was due to self-confidence or just being too arrogant.

The next day, the group arrived at Dark Cliff City.
