Chapter 200 Impact and Investigation
Chapter 200 Impact and Investigation
The news about the Night Forest and the Star-Moon Alliance spread like wildfire. There were a total of thirteen regular colleges in the Moon Clamp Peninsula, and one of them was suddenly destroyed. This could be considered a major change that had never happened in a thousand years.
In the Mona Ant Colony Hut, ever since the news came out, people's hearts have obviously been in a state of unrest. Some are uneasy, some are gloating, and some are seeing opportunities in it.
"It's very satisfying, very satisfying."
The hunting team's chief deacon, Chris Donner, did not hide his gloating in front of several of his confidants.
In his opinion, both the Night Forest and the Mona Ant Hut had long been tools for the wizarding clan to make money. Such an academy could only eradicate its old decay and regain a new life full of vitality after it was destroyed and rebuilt.
"Head Deacon, after the destruction of Night Glade Academy, has the hundred-year contract signed previously become invalid?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. If the academy doesn't exist anymore, the contract will naturally lose its meaning." Chris Donald thought about it and answered based on the information he knew: "However, if they do that, they will easily suffer the backlash of the contract."
The original 100-year contract stipulated that wizards had a mandatory responsibility to defend the academy. A counterattack like the one in Nightwood was very unreasonable.
If one does not have any countermeasures and dares to betray the academy, one will inevitably suffer the backlash of the contract and suffer indelible damage.
However, it is not easy to get the means to deal with the backlash, especially in the Moon Clamp Peninsula. The traitors in the Night Forest should have received help from the Star-Moon Alliance.
Even with the help of the Star-Moon Alliance, it is not always possible to destroy an academy. Once you become a traitor and the academy keeps you safe, the subsequent troubles will be even more dangerous.
"I thought it was just a small fight like before, but I didn't expect that the Star-Moon Alliance seemed to be quite powerful. I wonder what their purpose is. It can't be that they want to steal resources, right?" Deacon Andaya expressed his doubts.
In the past, there had been cases of wandering wizards banding together, and forces eyeing regular academies, but none had been so violent, with both the academy and the family being wiped out together. This was extremely vicious.
With such means and appeal, why would they come to a place like Yueqian Peninsula to rob resources? This is a question worth pondering.
"No matter what their purpose is, as long as they can stir up trouble in the Yueqian Peninsula, we may not be unable to cooperate with them." Chris Donner couldn't figure it out either, but it was foreseeable that the other party must have some purpose.
Chris Donald had never thought about joining the other party. Joining would be equivalent to jumping from one contract to another. In the end, he was being driven by others. What he wanted was to restore the order of the Mona Ant Colony Huts.
"The academy will definitely send people to explore the Night Woods. Leave it to me when the time comes." Andaya suggested.
"No, I'll go there myself this time." Chris Donner rejected her proposal.
During the same period of time, people from the three major families also found an opportunity to get together.
The two big families that controlled the Night Forest were destroyed, and of course the three major families were the ones that were most shocked. If it was the Mona Ant Land Hut that was raided this time, it was possible that their three major families would also fall.
Not this time, but what about next time?
This situation undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them, forcing the people from the three major families to treat it with caution. Therefore, quite a number of people came to discuss the situation, including Vice Deans Doris and Victor, Chief Deacon Off, and several deacons.
Wayne from the Steele family is here.
Heidi from Lydia's family also came. She was now an official wizard, and her hair had turned into a strange frost blue color, adding a sense of coldness and arrogance to her.
Soon, all the wizards who were supposed to come had arrived and filled the room. There were nearly thirty people in total, and these were only those with bloodlines from the three major families.
"Tell us all about the situation and your opinions." Seeing that no one in the room spoke, Doris was the first to break the silence.
"I contacted Dean Wakin, but he is busy with something for the time being. He will be back in the near future when things are settled." Afu said. At Mona Ant Land College, she is the spokesperson for Dean Wakin.
Dean Wakin is a senior second-level wizard. If he can come back to take charge, I think the Star-Moon Alliance will not cause any trouble.
The dean can't come back for the time being, and no one else can force him to come back, so there is no doubt that he is disappointed.
"There is news that there was no Level 2 wizard among the attackers that night. As for whether he was hiding nearby, it is unknown."
Victor said this, and he continued, "In addition, there is another piece of news that has not been spread. Doesn't the Half Moon Alliance's 'Gedom Shield' Academy have a very small magic stone mine? It is said that it was robbed by people from the Star Moon Alliance yesterday, and the remaining magic stones were looted."
"There was a conflict between the 'Scorching Watchtower' Academy of the Highland Alliance and the people of the Star-Moon Alliance. Both sides suffered losses. Now those wandering wizards cannot be underestimated."
The information channels controlled by the three major families far exceed those of ordinary wizards, so they naturally know more about the Star-Moon Alliance. The three families acted together, and all kinds of information continued to converge.
They compared their own situations with those encountered by other colleges to prevent any omissions.
As for the magic stone mine, those present were not worried. The magic stone mine in the Mona Ant Land Hut had been emptied many years ago. The remaining empty mine had a certain value, but the value was not so great that the Star-Moon Alliance coveted it.
In terms of secret realms, the most important one is the Flash Vortex Secret Realm controlled by the Flash Vortex Alliance, where wizards are stationed all year round.
As for the other plantations, they are either of little value or are located within the academy, where their safety is highly guaranteed, unless the academy falls into the same situation as Nightwood.
"Should we try to attract more wizards? The situation now is different from the past. We should be careful to avoid the same situation."
"How can we win them over? They will betray us anyway. We have to be on guard. We should pay more attention to their unusual actions and find a way to eliminate them if necessary."
"We can replace all key positions with our people and not give them any chances to take advantage, especially with the academy's protective magic formation."
"Can we find a way to further repair the academy's protective magic array? It would be best if it could be combined with the power of the flash vortex, so that when necessary, it can deal a heavy blow to the enemy."
"Wizard Wayne, you think too simply. If it could be repaired, we would have found a way to repair it long ago. Why wait until now?"
“——”
The people from the three major families have always advanced and retreated together, and the people on the field did not hide their thoughts. In a word, the Mona Ant Land Huts belonged to the three major families and must not be destroyed like the Night Forest.
The academy must also send a team to investigate the Night Forest. Seeing with one's own eyes is always more accurate than hearing from others. It would be even better if we could find traces of the Star-Moon Alliance. ...
"Wizard Ivan, I hope you can go to the Night Forest on behalf of the Enchanting Group."
"Is this a college mission?"
"Correct."
"no problem."
By now, the territory where the Nightwoods is located must be turbulent, and it is not an easy task to go and investigate.
In the eyes of Victor and others, Ivan was a wizard who didn't know what was good for him. So, he was the first person they thought of when there was an investigation mission. This mission was a bit special. People from all departments of the Mona Ant Farm were sent, and the leader of the hunting team was Chris Donner.
The next day, Ivan found that there were many familiar people who set out with him. He saw Walban from the hunting team, Wayne from the cultivation group, and Bernardson, the deacon of the patrol team.
There was also another deacon, Wizard Abel from the patrol team, and a wizard from the potion group, a total of seven people. This exploration team was considered a big one.
This is a long-distance mission, and not every wizard has a suitable flying mount. They need to ride on the giant birds specially bred by the academy. The giant birds carry simple houses on their backs for them to rest.
"Set off."
Following Chris Donner's command, the giant bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky.
The giant bird's back seemed a little bumpy, but that was no problem at all for the wizards.
"One person per day, taking turns on duty."
"No problem, it's my first day."
"My second day."
“——”
In just a few words, they assigned the on-duty tasks during the journey.
Ivan randomly chose the fourth day, as he would need to keep an eye on the giant bird to prevent it from running to the wrong place, and he would also need to deal with other possible accidents.
He chose another small room, which had only a place to sit but no space to lie down.
Not long after, Walban came to the door. Without waiting for him to say anything, Walban waved his hands around, and a layer of invisible energy enveloped the room.
"is this necessary?"
"We're so close, it's hard for our conversation to be heard by others, so it's better not to disturb them." Walban glanced around.
The small house is made of wood and has poor sound insulation.
"You're right." Ivan nodded, agreeing with this statement.
"Did you know that there is a replica of the formation you refined before?" asked Walban.
"Even the blueprints have been handed over to others. It's only a matter of time." Ivan said. In fact, he had known for a long time that the people who made the Black Magic Wind Array were people from Lydia's family and it had nothing to do with him anymore.
"College?"
"Yes, there are also the Torrent Twin Towers. This matter is more complicated."
"There is another bad news about you." Seeing that he looked normal, Walban mentioned a piece of news he had received recently.
"Tell me about it." Ivan thought about it, but couldn't figure it out.
"Ivan, someone has put a bounty on you. The other party has taken out six sets of level one mental potions, but they haven't found out who is targeting you." Walban said in a deep voice.
Conflicts are inevitable between wizards. Due to contracts or identities, some things are inconvenient for them to solve by themselves, so they can provide resources and secretly entrust others to do it. This is the black market bounty that cannot be made public.
After hearing his words, Ivan realized that he was offered a reward of six sets of mental power potions.
In the resource-scarce Moonclamp Peninsula, six sets of mental power potions are worth a lot of money, enough to attract many wizards to take action.
The first person he thought of was Dondo. That man was erratic in his behavior and had no shortage of mental potions, so it was possible that he could do such a thing.
"Thanks. I'll be careful."
"As long as you know what's going on."
The two did not talk much about this topic, but instead shifted the focus to the Star-Moon Alliance. This newly emerged force really opened the eyes of the wizards of the Moon Clamp Peninsula.
After Walban left, Ivan continued to study advanced enchantment knowledge, including enchantment methods, key elements for making advanced enchanted items, advanced techniques for rune disassembly, and so on.
This time, he finally got the trans-seal rune he had been longing for, but he didn't have the right materials, otherwise he could start making the trans-seal scroll.
Kavin.
