Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

"According to the information from the escaped apprentices, there are two confirmed vampire barons who attacked East Ring City. One seems to be a pureblood from the Morandi family, and the other is an unknown baron. The latter has been severely injured by the official wizard Caris Pitt who guards East Ring City, and he should be unable to go out."

According to common sense, the pure-blooded baron is the more powerful enemy. He is likely to come to the door soon.

The truth is coming out.

The communication methods of the apprentices were too crude and could not be used at a distance, but the formal wizards definitely had a certain degree of communication methods.

The distance between these two cities is relatively short. Even if the timing of the vampire attack is very sudden, so that the other official wizards have no time to support, Dark Cliff City is the closest one.

Collison had no intention of cleaning up the mess and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the severely injured vampire baron - this was normal, it was just because of his cautious character or there was a gap between the two wizards.

But with so many foreign wizard apprentices gathering in recent days, the local official wizards were unwilling to even show their faces, which made it easy for the enemy to guess whether something was wrong.

Luna had no doubt that there might be one or two vampire spies among these apprentices.

As long as the other party collects intelligence and does a brief analysis, they will discover many anomalies in the past six months.

"Hopefully the old man can hold on for a while."

If she could make a healing potion useful for formal wizards, Luna would definitely not be stingy. Unfortunately, she knew it was impossible to do it, and she didn't even know why Collison was injured.

Speaking of potions.

Luna came to the alchemy workshop she had set up and looked at the bottle of 'Dark Spirit' potion on the table.

"Am I still too arrogant? I've come this far in my research. Maybe I should give up now?"

The reverse analysis work was not going well. After half a year, we were unable to produce even a slightly effective sample.

The difficulty of making the mental power growth potion was far beyond Luna's imagination.

"There is also the issue of materials. This place is not like the Dark Ring headquarters. It is too difficult to collect materials. The quantity and quality of the relevant medicinal materials are seriously insufficient."

The knockoff plan failed miserably.

But in the past six months, she has often gone out to fight with the vampires and blood servants. With the constant high concentration, consumption and replenishment of her mental power, Luna's mental power has improved much faster than expected.

"In two or three months, you can try to advance to a high-level apprentice."

This time point is approximately one year and three months after Luna became a mid-level apprentice.

She is fifteen years old this year, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will have a long time ahead of her.

69.Contact

The peaceful days did not last long.

After the surrounding towns were successively destroyed, Dark Cliff City had completely become the main target of the blood clan. A large number of blood servants mixed with the blood clan who controlled them behind the scenes began to launch waves of attacks.

Originally, Dark Cliff City was a remote city in one of the four principalities under the control of the Dark Ring and had not been attacked for many years.

But now, huge walls and watchtowers have been built on the edge of the city, with huge crossbows and oil barrels placed on them. Fully armed soldiers are patrolling nervously on the walls.

In this situation, the strength of an individual seemed to become insignificant. Even if the apprentices could easily slaughter a group of soldiers, they could never match the large-scale war machines.

Despite being less accurate, a trebuchet is more powerful than any other type of trick and has a much longer range.

But apprentices still need to be stationed on various fronts.

Luna was standing on a sentry tower on a city wall, looking into the distance. As usual, she was wrapped tightly in a cloak, and occasionally when a strong wind blew, her coat stuck to her body, revealing her graceful figure.

"Miss Wizard, have you found anything today?"

A young noble officer following behind her asked very respectfully.

Although the mysterious witch had a pleasant voice and sounded a bit immature, the soldiers never dared to look down on her and even admired her very much. The area where she was stationed these days seemed unusually safe, and the attacks of the vampires in any direction seemed to be invisible to her.

I heard that other wizard apprentices would occasionally fail in areas under their charge.

"No problem. I'll let you know when I find out. No need to keep asking. Just relax."

Luna answered and continued to look into the distance outside the city.

Although the power of the apprentices' magic tricks became quite small in the war, there was one thing that was a decisive difference between them and ordinary people, and that was the perception of mental power and various means of detection.

The power of wizards and witchcraft is not only reflected on the front battlefield. The same is true for the vampires, who are a supernatural race.

Almost all vampires have a certain stealth ability, which is more than enough to deceive the senses of ordinary people. If there is no perception by wizard apprentices, some vampires who are good at hiding can climb up the tall city walls in front of the soldiers with their strong and agile physique.

"Nothing was discovered."

After inspecting the area, Luna returned to the room inside the tower. She spent most of her time in shallow meditation, occasionally exploring carefully.

Compared to many apprentices, she was relatively lazy, but her perception ability far exceeded that of ordinary apprentices, so no vampires could sneak into her area.

Not every apprentice has her ability.

In the past two days, a section of the city wall was lost from time to time, the apprentices on duty were assassinated, and a large number of ordinary soldiers died. By the time the reinforcements arrived, many people had been lost, and even the vampires who broke in were nowhere to be found.

In other words, some vampires have already sneaked into the city. Although the number is very small, it is enough to cause a certain degree of panic.

"However, up to now, the official wizard is unwilling to show up."

Luna even felt that even if Lord Collison was in a really bad condition, he could boost morale by disguised himself and walking around outside.

"Has the injury become so serious? Or..."

In fact, the world's respect for wizards has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even in the cold sentry towers on the front line, comfortable rooms are prepared for apprentices. There is a large space and soft mattresses, and black tea and coffee are placed next to them. Even the food is different from that of ordinary soldiers, and is rationed by the chef.

It doesn't look like they are here to fight.

Even so, many apprentices complained that the environment on the front line was too bad.

In Luna's room, there is a large backpack, which contains most of her possessions.

"To be honest, if the official wizard doesn't show up, I'm going to run away. This is your own family territory."

There were already many rumors about the official wizard in the city. After all, he had been missing for too long, and people even suspected that he had already escaped.

......

The protector of Dark Cliff City, who is highly expected by countless people and the real ruler of the Sale family, is not in the ancestral home of the Sale family at this time.

Collison is now in a small fortress, which is filled with various potions and materials, many of which exude a powerful aura that would make ordinary wizard apprentices tremble.

The old man glanced at them one by one, and a gloomy look gradually appeared on his face.

He became even older, his life force became extremely dim, and dark scales grew on his body. Something terrible was brewing inside him.

This warehouse was filled with his life's collection, but now none of it was of any use. Those treasures that ordinary wizards could hardly obtain were also useless to his current injuries.

"Damn the Wraith Cult! Damn the Styx Curse!"

As a formal wizard from a small family, Collison's bloodline was not strong, but he had made great progress on the road to becoming a formal wizard, and his strength was recognized by many wizards from big families.

However, when he was still young and strong, he took the initiative to resign from his position in the organization, returned to the remote area of ​​the barren Principality of Sale, and "degenerated himself", creating an image of a wizard dedicated to his family.

This is all because of the ruins hidden deep in the dark cliff.

"I shouldn't have been so careless! It was because of the news of the vampire invasion that I took the risk..."

This was just a small branch of the Netherworld Cult, and Colison originally thought that the danger inside was limited. After tens of thousands of years of trials and tribulations, a large number of witch arrays had indeed become ineffective.

But he didn't expect that deep in the ruins, there would be 'that'!

"Damn you lunatics! How dare you provoke the Ancient God!"

It is useless to regret now. The only way is to solve the problems at hand.

"Toles's purification ritual has also failed, and it has even aggravated the spread of the curse. What else can I do? Maybe the legendary Silver Moon Potion will be useful?"

But where could he find something that had long since disappeared? And how long could he live?

"Mr. Collison!"

The old wizard turned around suddenly and saw the grandson who should have been his most trusted, one of the senior apprentices in the family - his demeanor and behavior were completely different from before.

"Blood clan? How could you find this place? How dare you show off your pathetic tricks in front of me?"

The apprentice's appearance changed rapidly, and he became a handsome young man. He trembled a little in front of the aura of a formal wizard, but soon calmed down:

"Great and official wizard, the master behind me wants to talk to you."

70. City Break

The people in Dark Cliff City were still unaware that the two big men who would decide the direction of this local war had met privately, nor did they know what kind of negotiation results had been reached.

But everyone knows that the situation is now extremely critical.

"What a pity! If only I had a few more months, it would be better."

Luna believed that in a while she would be able to become a high-level apprentice, her strength would become stronger, and her various methods would become more abundant.

After another shift, an unexpected person came to the door.

"Ms. Luna, long time no see."

"Shutt?"

Seeing the blond boy, Luna was a little surprised. Although they were apprentices of the same class, she rarely interacted with others and was always immersed in study and training.

You actually came here alone at this time?

Because of the previous mentor incident, there was some awkwardness between the two parties, and Luna would not deliberately provoke this genius who was said to have an outstanding bloodline.

As if noticing Luna's alertness, the blond boy smiled bitterly:

"I have already let go of the fact that I was not accepted by Ms. Enissa. I came to you today with good intentions. By the way, why do you wrap yourself up so tightly?"

"I heard that the vampires have very good noses."

Luna simply replied, this is indeed the reason. But I don't know her special physique, she probably thinks it is a kind of excessive timidity.

"It's such a pity that I didn't get to see Miss Luna's beautiful face."

Xuster's sigh was probably sincere.

"If you have something to say, please get to the point. We don't have much time to rest, do we?"

Facing Luna's obvious indifference, Shuter's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal:

"Of course I have something important to do... Miss Luna, how long do you think this city can last?"

"It should be less than a week, if Master Collison doesn't show up."

"So, when the noble vampires show up and the city is breached, will Miss Luna join the Sale family in a useless resistance?"

"Of course not. But what can we weak apprentices do?"

Luna said calmly.

Xiu Te nodded, with a deep look on his face:

"We have done our best by helping them until today. Even if the city is breached, we can't be buried with them, right? The organization will understand."

"So, what can you do?"

Seeing that Luna seemed to be somewhat interested, Shuster smiled and puffed out his chest proudly:

"My family prepared a teleportation scroll for me!"

Luna was shocked. If what he said was true, then this thing was much more exaggerated than the relatively common first-level fireball scroll in her hand.

Space magic is the most difficult type, requiring wizards with special talents to use it. If you want to make it into a scroll, it is even more difficult. Generally speaking, a first-level space scroll may be comparable to some second-level witchcraft scrolls.

This thing is a secret treasure in the hands of any official wizard, and it can save lives at critical moments.

And now, it actually appeared on an apprentice.

"It seems that your family really dotes on you."

Luna could only sigh like this. No wonder this guy looked so confident.

"This scroll is enough to teleport a first-level creature a hundred miles away. If it is an apprentice, it is no problem to take ten away. Miss Luna, if you are willing, you can leave with my team!"

"So, what's the price? Why me?"

Luna was not overwhelmed by this sudden and precious opportunity, but asked a question in return.
