Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

"By the way, where is the other apprentice who participated in the trial with me? The fat guy. He didn't come here?"

"He only passed the fifth level of the trial, although he received a reward. But he is not qualified to meet me."

It seems that as an elite apprentice of the Dark Ring and a descendant of a wizard family, Doler is still qualified to join the former Wraith Sect, but it is impossible for him to become a direct disciple of a high-level wizard.

"Well, it's time for you all to leave. I will teleport you outside the Secret Realm. Next time, unless you come back with a completed Silver Moon Potion, you will get nothing!"

Luna originally wanted to ask something, but before she could say it, she felt dizzy again.

She felt a little helpless, but at the same time she felt relieved.

Being with this man who can decide my life, even though he is friendly, I feel really uncomfortable.

When she realized what was happening, she had already arrived in the wilderness. She looked around and suddenly realized something was wrong:

"Wait, where is this place?"

83. Fleet

"where is this?"

The sky was already slightly white, showing signs of dawn. The surroundings were deserted fields, dotted with bushes from time to time. No trace of human life could be found anywhere.

Luna looked around and was a little dumbfounded.

She had been in Dark Cliff City for half a year and often went out on missions. She was familiar with the surrounding terrain, but the scene in front of her was completely different from that over there!

I originally thought that I would be teleported to the entrance of the ruins, but I didn't expect it to be so far... However, judging from the stars in the night sky, we should still be within the territory of the principality.

Luna was holding a notebook and a talisman in her hand. She quickly put the two things away and released her puppet at the same time.

Several bird-shaped puppets flew up into the night sky and patrolled the surroundings. Soon, Luna found her target.

She walked quickly in a certain direction and saw two girls who looked a little panicked.

"Jeri, Senna!"

The petite Senna almost jumped up and shouted happily:

"Luna, you're here too! I knew everyone would be here!"

Jie Li also hurried over and looked happy when she saw Luna. She said:

"We just found a warehouse and were still researching it when we were suddenly teleported here. Unfortunately, we didn't get anything."

Luna thought, it would be bad if you gain anything, because the tower spirit is not a pushover.

"I'm almost there too. I just ran over here out of nowhere. Let's go find the others first."

With the help of the puppets that could detect far beyond the limits, Luna quickly gathered the rest of the team. They were all fine, but a little panicked by being suddenly teleported away.

Dole seemed somewhat interested in her puppet, but didn't say much.

"Everyone, it's a good thing that we can leave the ruins safely. It's obviously not a place that wizard apprentices of our level can explore. Anyway, everyone has gained something more or less."

Others couldn't see it, but Luna's perception was very sharp. She noticed that Dole's aura, which had been a little frivolous after he forcibly broke through to become a high-level apprentice, had now become stable.

It seems that he also got the bottle of Moye potion, which should be his biggest goal of this trip.

Neither of them mentioned the previous experience. In fact, even if Luna told Jerry and the others, they would not get any rewards without a certain level of potion-making ability.

"Everyone, I hope that you will follow the agreement and not reveal anything about the ruins. I hope that once everything is stable, the families behind us will jointly develop it..."

With the Tower Spirit around, even a few official wizard families would not be able to do anything unless they reported it directly to the top leaders of the Dark Ring and asked the entire wizard organization to develop it.

Luna was not optimistic about their plan. She decided to give them a warning:

"Actually... I saw Collison and a blood clan baron in the ruins. They got together. But they were later killed by the puppets in the ruins."

She gave a brief summary as possible, without mentioning how she came to watch.

A female apprentice immediately questioned:

"Even if it's true, how can an apprentice like you see the battle between real wizards?"

"You don't have to believe it."

Luna replied, not bothering to pay attention to her.

"Okay, there's no need to lie, Ms. Luna. I believe what she says."

Dole seemed curious about what Luna had encountered, as he had thought their experiences would be similar.

The apprentices thought about it for a while, and then all looked unhappy.

"I didn't expect that wizard Collisson would defect to the vampires. I heard that the vampires have a longer lifespan and can forcibly transform the blood and race of wizards... Some wizards have already defected to the enemy."

"Fortunately, they were killed by the ruins. Did they touch some taboo?"

After discussing for a few words, Dole suddenly spoke in a low voice:

"If Collison was really transformed into a vampire by the First Embrace, I'm afraid the vampires have already known about the ruins."

Luna also agreed. To embrace a wizard for the first time, it must be at least a viscount-level vampire. This meant that the news had already reached the upper echelons of the vampires.

Dole was a little upset. He sighed deeply and then put his worries aside:

"No matter what, our own lives are the most important. Let's get to a safe area first and then think about it!"

"Since Collison and the Bloods are dead, why don't we go back?"

Elder suggested optimistically, adding:

"After all, our mission is to guard Dark Cliff City. It's hard to explain if we suddenly disappear."

"No!"

Luna immediately refuted this time. She analyzed:

"What if Collison told his clan members the news before he came? The Sale family still has several high-level apprentices. It's too suspicious that we disappeared last night and then went back."

"And both sides have lost an official wizard and a noble vampire. No matter which side comes to investigate, it is possible that they will be traced back to us! We are carrying a lot of materials produced by the ruins that even official wizards covet. Do you want to give up?"

Luna didn't want to take the risk at all. What if other official wizards came to investigate and were tempted by the money?

"You all know that once we get involved with official wizards, the lives of apprentices like us are very fragile. Even if we have a backer, the other party may not give us face."

The key is that she should have the most things on her. In addition to the medicinal materials, she not only has the notes of the potion master, but also a talisman from the ruins. It can be said that if she is investigated, she is the most dangerous.

After she expressed her attitude clearly, Senna and Jie Li naturally agreed unconditionally. Among the remaining three, Doller also quickly agreed with her.

Following Elderwedol's lead, Haili could only acquiesce and agree.

"We just need to find a safe city and say we are escaping from Dark Cliff City. We don't need to know anything else!"

"As long as it's not related to the death of an official wizard, there shouldn't be any problems in other aspects."

Since the leaders of both sides have disappeared in the ruins, the war will most likely not be fought. These apprentices who fled early will probably become a laughing stock.

"When we all become high-level apprentices, I don't know who will laugh at whom in the future."

Jie Li whispered, her eyes very determined.

"Alright, alright! Let's work together to find the surrounding cities first. We can't stay in the wild forever!"

In the area inside the Dusk Forest, some magical beasts will appear in the wilderness from time to time. Even wizard apprentices may not be safe, and usually a formal wizard is required to lead the team.

What's more, we are still at war with the vampires.

But in fact, they did not encounter the monsters, but instead encountered a convoy first.

A convoy led by vampires.

84. Raid

"Hey! There seems to be some movement over there!"

Jie Li, who was looking around with a telescope, suddenly gave a reminder.

The range of the wizard apprentices' mental perception is not far, and in many cases it is not as convenient as some conventional methods.

Seeing a convoy in a deserted place, the apprentices immediately became excited, but soon, a sentence calmed them down.

"Maybe it's a team of vampires. Let me take a look at the situation."

Luna let her puppet rise into the air, and the bird-shaped puppet quickly dissolved into the night sky that was about to dawn, and slowly flew in that direction.

The apprentices hid behind bushes or rocks, trying to hide their figures as much as possible.

If the other side had a strong person like a formal wizard or a noble vampire, they would have discovered them long ago. So Luna estimated the perception range of the high-level apprentices in the other team and kept her puppet at a certain height.

Luna used the vision provided by the puppet to observe.

It was a convoy of about a dozen carriages. Many of the carriages were covered with iron fences, carrying some ragged prisoners, and some armored soldiers were on guard around them.

Luna originally thought that this was a caravan of human nobles transporting slaves. The soldiers were obviously a little nervous, probably because this was an illegal trade.

But after observing for a while longer, she found something wrong.

Occasionally, a person would quickly get off the carriage in front of them. He had an aristocratic temperament. When he passed by, all the soldiers looked scared.

Then, the man stood in front of the cage in one of the carriages, seemingly observing something. He quickly called the soldiers around him and opened the cage.

The slaves in the cage were in a commotion, and when the man entered, a huge scream was heard:

"No! Let me go! My blood is not tasty!"

The man suddenly became angry and knocked the crying young woman unconscious with a palm, then dragged her out of the carriage and dragged her towards his own carriage.

Soon, a shrunken corpse was thrown out of the carriage. Soldiers immediately surrounded it, poured fuel on the corpse, and then set it on fire.

In the wilderness with the sky slightly bright, the young woman's body was engulfed by flames, burning like a torch, and she would never see the sun the next day.

Luna, who had watched the whole process, pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. But they were still some distance away from the convoy, and she couldn't make a decision on her own, so it was too late to save them anyway.

"That's a convoy of vampires."

She told her companions what she had just seen. After the convoy had moved some distance away, they came to the body that had been burned beyond recognition.

Click.

A cloud of cold mist enveloped the corpse, extinguishing the flames on the unrecognizable corpse. From the incompletely burned corpse, a look of fear and despair could be vaguely seen.

"It was definitely done by the vampires."

Dole closed the corpse's wide-open eyes. He slowly stood up from the ground, squinting his eyes as he looked at the convoy in the distance, and suddenly spoke:

"How to say?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the others knew what he was asking. Luna immediately added:

"There are five or six suspected vampire targets, and they were hit in the first three carriages. The rest are human soldiers, and we cannot rule out the possibility that they are blood servants."

"I think they are humans. Haven't we seen enough humans colluding with the vampires?"

Dole sneered.

"Kill them. And the accomplices."

Jie Li showed a rare murderous look. In fact, she probably hated vampires the most among all the people present.

She was the only one among her team of apprentices who survived the siege by the vampires.

"If there are a few high-level apprentice-level vampires, it would probably be very dangerous... There's no need for us to meddle in their affairs."

Hai Li, who had always had little presence, finally couldn't help but speak out. She whispered:

"We should be able to return to the city by the same route they came from. Why would we want to go looking for trouble? Once we break through to the advanced apprentice level, we can kill as many vampires as we want."

"So what should we do with these captured humans now?"

Senna had always been at odds with her, but now she couldn't help but stand up and object:

"We are enemies with the vampires. Why don't you wait until you become a formal wizard before going to the battlefield?"

"you......"

"Those who don't want to participate can withdraw. They are just a few vampires. What is there to be afraid of?"
