Chapter 156 Departure, Zhang Maqiang
Wizard Ralph shook his head.
The wizard Anselor had already left Giant Shield City before the 'game' in Giant Shield City began.
He was recuperating at a manor outside Giant Shield City, which was also the stronghold of the wizard Sunil.
Once he has recovered from his injuries, he will personally lead Ralph and the others to Fork Ridge to capture the Scarlet Wizard and erase any traces left by the Scarlet Wizard and his companions in Fork Ridge.
As for how to erase the traces, it's simple: a war with the Ironfire Kingdom will suffice.
"It's good that he's not in the city." Lo Ang nodded, feigning delight. "I was worried that he might be watching me from within Giant Shield City right now."
"Now that I have news about Wizard Ralph, I can finally rest easy."
At this point, the wizard Ralph asked about Loon's purpose in coming.
"Thunder Wizard, according to Zero Wizard, is from a school of thought and is very proud. After Crimson Wizard escaped from his grasp, he was eager to destroy Forked Mountain as soon as possible, and he also coveted the offensive spells that Crimson Wizard possessed."
"Once he recovers from his injuries, he will definitely attack Chashanling himself."
"Thunder Wizard, you should be guarding Forked Ridge right now. Why have you suddenly come to Giant Shield City?"
It was unclear whether the wizard Ralph's words were reproachful or curious—in his view, coming to Loonlai Giant Shield City was a mistake no matter what.
As the capital and core of the Shield Kingdom, Great Shield City is naturally a place that attracts attention.
If a wizard from the Silver Grey School were to come to the Kingdom of Shields, he would definitely come to Greatshield City first—moreover, there is already another wizard from the Silver Grey School in Greatshield City.
If Luo Ang's identity were exposed, wouldn't the conflict be immediately escalated?
At that time, wouldn't everything they've done now—hiding from and using Anselor—immediately become a waste of time?
"Honorable Thunder Wizard," Wizard Ralph bowed his head, looking expectant, "the wizard tower of your Forked Ridge is concerned with far more than just yourselves."
"I and the other wizards are all counting on your wizard tower to hold out in the Nacha Mountains so that we can all breathe a sigh of relief."
Upon hearing this, Ralph the Wizard's face showed even more helplessness.
"According to my original plan, after returning to the capital, I would start contacting other wild wizards and invite them all to this Kingdom of the Shield, so that there would be more opportunities."
"But who would have thought that Anselro, the wizard of the Silver Ash School, would suddenly come to Giant Shield City? With him here, it has become much more difficult for us to contact other wild wizards. We can only let the situation in Giant Shield City become chaotic and let those wild wizards come by following the scent."
As he spoke, Ralph sighed again.
A school of thought is ultimately a school of thought, and the pressure it puts on people is simply too great.
Especially after the chaos in Giant Shield City—when the Crimson Wizard made his move—they all witnessed the Crimson Wizard's terrifying power.
However, this terrifying Crimson Wizard was utterly helpless against the seemingly foolish Anselor Wizard...
If the foolish wizard Anselor is so powerful, how powerful must the other wizards of the Silver Ash School be?
"I understand." Loon gestured as if to see him off. "I will be leaving Giant Shield City in a couple of days."
Loon didn't tell Ralph about the even more perilous situation they were facing, as analyzed by the wizard Valenil—he was worried that if he told Ralph about this more dangerous situation, Ralph, who was only "opportunistic" and had never expected the wizard tower of Forked Ridge to last long, would turn against them immediately.
"By the way, Wizard Ralph, I would like you to prepare some more sleeping dust for me."
"No problem." Wizard Ralph nodded.
"Oh, and there's also the matter of those nobles."
"I promised this kid from the Lake Mountain family that I would keep him safe until he leaves Giant Shield City."
"So, you shouldn't involve him in your game."
"Besides, there are the nobles and the commoners."
"You can do whatever you want with the nobles, but don't bother these commoners who don't have much property to begin with."
""
As he stood up, several clumps of vines beneath him crumbled—only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Luo Ang casually cast a Grass and Wood Entanglement Technique to control him.
Otherwise, how could he have acted so honestly, answering every question?
That very evening, someone delivered the sleep dust that Loen needed.
Seven bottles in total!
Time passed peacefully like this.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
As the 'game' in Giant Shield City came to an end, the Lake Mountain family's team finally left Giant Shield City.
It was time for Luo Ang and the Hushan family to part ways.
"Sir Losanda, can't you really come back with us?" At the crossroads, Erin looked at Losanda riding his warhorse, his face full of reluctance.
When they first met, Luo Ang was dressed in simple clothes with a long sword hanging at his waist. He couldn't even afford the tax to enter the city, and he was extremely poor.
But when it was time to part ways, he was now wearing a full suit of armor and carrying a sturdy longsword.
There were two warhorses with them, one of which was specifically used to carry armor and a spear.
These were naturally prepared for Luo Ang by the Hushan family.
Their purpose, of course, is to curry favor and to recruit.
After Luo Ang drew a circle outside the Lake Mountain family mansion, his strength was fully revealed to everyone.
After that, the Hushan family focused most of their energy on Luo Ang.
Unfortunately, they ultimately couldn't offer any "bargaining chips" to recruit Luo Ang.
"No need. My path lies not with the Lake Mountain family." Luo Ang waved his hand, led his two warhorses away, and quickly disappeared from the sight of the Lake Mountain family members.
After avoiding everyone's gaze, Loon went straight into a forest, tied both warhorses there, and then galloped towards the manor where the wizard Anselo lived.
Before even reaching the manor's gate, Luo Ang could already see its exact location.
In the darkness of night, there was a brightly lit place.
One fire after another blazed fiercely, completely dispelling the darkness of the night in the manor.
The wizard Anselo, whom Loon was looking for, was in this manor.
