Chapter 84: Farewell
This was a cliff, and there was a long drawbridge by the edge of the cliff. The drawbridge extended all the way forward, and then curved upwards until it turned over and reached the top of the head.
Above the head, another piece of land could be vaguely seen as if there was an upside-down world above.
More than a dozen large dogs and more than a dozen Flower Fairies merged here, leaving only a large dog and a Flower Fairy on the spot.
The Flower Fairy said, “Passing through here is the path to the second floor.”
The big dog said, “We can’t travel with you for the rest of the journey. You can only rely on yourselves.”
“What?”
“No way. Are you going to abandon us?”
“Isn’t this too sudden?”
The Apprentices couldn’t accept it.
The big dog didn’t respond to the Apprentices’ reluctance. It just continued, “Before we leave, we will give you some gifts. This is your reward for passing the first floor.”
The Flower Fairy picked up the fairy stick and waved it gently.
A rustling sound could be heard. In the grass in front of the Apprentices’ feet, a tender bud broke out of the ground and quickly grew into a flower, which then bloomed.
The flower bud opened, and there were many Magic Stone pockets inside.
Heath took it over and took a look. This time, the number of Magic Stones was exceptionally high. There were two thousand of them.
“Wow!”
“Oh my god, 2,000! 2,000 Magic Stones!”
“Am I dreaming?!”
The Apprentices were so happy that they almost fainted.
The resources of other Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea were far inferior to those of Shadow Tower. The ordinary Apprentices of Shadow Tower could earn several hundred Magic Stones a month. For them to be able to earn a few dozen Magic Stones was already a high-income group.
Two thousand Magic Stones was simply the wealth of the Wizards in the eyes of these Apprentices.
For a time, the gloomy feeling of parting with the big dog disappeared, and every Apprentice was lost in the sea of surprise.
The big dog continued, “Before we leave, we’ll give you a bit of advice.”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
The Flower Fairy said, “Walk forward, don’t hesitate.”
The big dog said, “Walk forward, don’t stop.”
After saying that, the two turned into light, and then burst into countless light spots that disappeared with the wind.
“Let’s go, let’s go, to the second floor!”
“What good stuff is there?”
The Apprentices changed from the resentment they had when they first entered the secret realm. Everyone was jubilant, and they continued on their journey with confidence.
Soon, they arrived at the other side of the bridge.
It was still a lush forest. It was even more exuberant than the previous one. It was green and vibrant.
However, there were fewer flowers on the ground. The sunlight was not as bright as before. It became brighter and even a little dazzling.
The temperature in the air rose a little. It felt a little hot.
While Heath was sizing up, the two Apprentices in the same team suddenly exchanged looks, and then surrounded Heath from both sides.
One of the brown-haired Apprentices said bluntly, “Hey, you, hand over the Magic Stones just now!”
Heath turned his head. “?”
This sudden turn of events made him unable to come back to his senses. There was a question mark on his face. After all, everyone was still talking and laughing at the beginning.
The other yellow-haired Apprentice immediately raised the magic wand in his hand and said fiercely, “Are you deaf? If you don’t want to die, don’t let my brother repeat what he said!”
They were wearing the white cloak of Ivory Tower. It was a Wizard organization west of Underdark Treesea.
There used to be a large resource area with high elemental content, but their Wizard master was killed by Shadow Tower, so the area behind belonged to Shadow Tower.
The words of the two Apprentices seemed to have some strange magic power.
Not long after they finished speaking, the other Apprentices around them looked at Heath differently.
Everyone gradually distanced themselves from him and looked at him with malicious intentions.
‘Do I look so easy to bully?’
Thinking unhappily, Heath glanced left and right to make sure that nothing would come out to stop the Apprentices’ dispute this time.
And so…
Clang!
The loud and clear sound of the sword suddenly exploded, and the sharp sound carried a chill.
The cross-shaped sword was suddenly unsheathed, and at a speed that was so fast that people could not see it clearly, it quickly drew out two cold lights in the air, pointing straight at the two Apprentices of Ivory Tower. One sword was aimed at the throat, and the other was aimed at the heart.
Ka! Ka!
A clear sound was heard.
There were already two more stone sculptures on the spot, and the lifelike expressions on their faces were still as fierce as before.
The scene was stunned at first, and everyone seemed to have not understood what was going on.
“Ah!” One of the Apprentices cried out in shock, and suddenly took a step back.
This voice instantly woke up the Apprentices.
All of a sudden, they were all shocked!
“Oh! Oh my god!”
“What the hell, what did he do?”
Heath’s attack was so shocking that many Apprentices still did not understand why the two Apprentices of Ivory Tower were so confused.
“Black hair… Black cross sword…” At this time, one of the Apprentices looked at Heath’s black hair and seemed to think of something.
His eyes suddenly widened. “It’s him! It’s him! The Sword Wizard of Twilight Fortress! The magic genius who defeated the high-level Apprentice, Pritte!”
It was as if a spark had fallen into boiling oil.
After hearing this Apprentice’s words, the other Apprentices’ expressions suddenly changed. They hurriedly retreated and instantly pulled away from Heath.
A circle instantly opened up on the spot. Everyone looked at him with vigilance and fear in their eyes.
All the Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea had paid attention to the war two years ago. It was hard not to notice the genius who had won the desperate situation in Twilight Fortress with fewer people.
Two years had passed, but the discussion about Heath did not decrease. On the contrary, it became more and more intense as he ‘advanced’ to a middle-level Apprentice not long ago.
The current him was already famous in the Underdark Treesea.
It was just that he did not draw his sword two days ago, and everyone’s attention was on the journey, so they did not recognize him.
Now that he was exposed, the whole team became nervous.
‘Is this really necessary?’
Looking at the students who kept quiet, Heath shook his head, put on his hood, and walked away from the team that he had been with for a few days.
At the same time, by the lake at the entrance of the dark secret plane.
Ferde looked at the image of the water ball hanging in the air. It showed the battle that had just happened at the entrance of the second floor.
The black-haired figure that had left unhurriedly seemed to have caught the old man’s interest.
He could not help but ask, “Who is this Apprentice?”
Witch Cassandra glanced at him and immediately said, “His name is Heath. He is an Apprentice of our Shadow Tower.”
Ferde nodded. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Wizard who can use a sword.”
His expression seemed to be somewhat nostalgic.
