Chapter 240 People are panicked
Dean Wakin was not in a hurry to announce his return. The next day, he left the Mona Ant Colony Hut and prepared to go to deal with matters on the sea islands and inform the land of his return.
A flying beast flew steadily towards the south of the Flash Vortex Academy Alliance.
In a flash, another flying beast swooped down from the clouds and abruptly blocked Dean Wakin's way. On the back of the flying beast stood a wizard in a black robe, and it was obvious that he was here with ill intentions.
"Munde Wakin of the Mona Ant Farm, right? I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who are you, sir? Why are you blocking my way?"
Mond Wakin felt a chill in his heart. Not many people knew his whereabouts, and he did not expect it to be revealed so quickly. It seemed that the situation inside the academy had reached the point where it had to be investigated.
"I just want to borrow your head." The man said in a calm tone.
"Arrogant!" Mond shouted angrily.
Facing him was an enemy who wanted to kill him, of course he knew what to do. He was a senior second-level wizard and had never been afraid of anyone in his quest to roam the Moonclamp Peninsula.
The two murderous intentions collided and the battle broke out in an instant.
Both sides had their own unique skills, including spells, secret techniques, enchanted items, puppets, etc., which caused constant explosions in the air and almost changed the color of the area.
At a certain moment, Mond Wakin suffered a heavy blow and his body could not stop falling from the sky. The flying beast under him had turned into a ball of blood foam.
"I know! I know. You are from Archibald's Spear. You scum among wizards actually set your sights on the Moonpin Peninsula. Aren't you afraid of being sanctioned by the Supreme Council?"
From the battle just now, Mond Wakin noticed something. His face changed drastically and he shouted loudly, revealing the identity of the enemy.
As far as he knew, the Spear of Archibald was a notorious force made up of a group of lunatics, but they were very powerful, which was why his face changed color.
“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”
When his identity was exposed, the man's expression did not change at all, as if it was a trivial matter: "Remember this name, Doug Boyton. I will pull out this rotten nail of yours and clear a handful of pure land for our wizarding world."
"You are full of foul language, you--don't even think about succeeding!"
Doug was responded by an explosion of high-temperature fireworks, which instantly covered a large area of the forest. The rumbling sound was resounding, blocking his vision.
When the ground calmed down a little, the person who fell to the ground had disappeared.
"He used some secret method to escape? Even if he's not dead, he must be seriously injured." Doug looked around. The enemy covered up their tracks with scorched earth, making it impossible for him to track them.
However, the other party must be seriously injured or even dying, which should not affect his next plan. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ignore it for the time being.
You still have to give face to some people.
……
In the Mona Ant Hut, the news about Dean Wakin's return to the academy has been circulating in a small circle.
Early that morning, Ivan received an order from Vice President Doris to go to the office. He arrived as instructed, and only Doris was there.
"Deacon Ivan, from what you have seen, are you serious about repairing the Ant-Man Barrier?"
"Of course, I believe I have done my best and I dare not slack off." Ivan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained unchanged as he spoke politely.
"very good."
Doris nodded with an unclear expression, seeming to agree with what he said: "Based on your contribution in repairing the Ant-Man Barrier, after discussion, we decided to give you a pass that allows you to enter and exit the core black tower, so that you can enter and exit freely."
What about drinking and drinking?
Hearing her words, Ivan was really confused. You know, usually it takes two senior members of the academy to open the core black tower. It's cumbersome but safe.
"This is also what Dean Wakin meant. I hope you can use it with caution." Doris added.
"Thank you for the college's appreciation of me. I will live up to everyone's expectations." Ivan could only agree for now, but his mind was racing, pondering the intentions of these people. Could it be that Dean Wakin had seen through his true intentions?
"There is one more thing. Deacon Madeline and the other two have other important matters to attend to. They will not be able to assist you in repairing the Ant-Man Barrier. If you feel that you do not have enough manpower, you can recruit personnel from the Enchanting Group on your own."
"understood."
Walking out of the office, Ivan was still thinking about Doris's new instructions. He always felt that something happened behind the scenes that led to the current changes.
Ivan first went back to his own twin towers.
He analyzed the new situation from the ants. It seemed that many people from the three major families were packing up their things and seemed to be preparing to leave the Mona Ant Land Hut.
"Could it be that the Star-Moon Alliance has taken action against Dean Wakin? They are really quick in that case." Ivan pondered for a moment and finally came to a bold conclusion.
If things were really as he had analyzed, Dean Wakin's current situation would certainly not be much better, otherwise the three major families would not have to shrink their forces to avoid risks.
After thinking it through, he once again came to the core black tower and led his men to repair the Ant-Man Barrier. Now there are only four of them left.
Mo Ling changed her previous excited look and became worried. It was obvious that she was hiding something in her heart.
This made Randall and Gina look at each other in confusion, and they kept asking questions to Ivan. Ivan didn't say much, but just asked the two to be patient.
After their shift, the master and his two disciples returned to the Twin Towers together.
"Ivan, what's going on?" Randall asked impatiently. "Doris said I performed well, and at the instruction of Dean Wakin, she gave me a pass to enter and exit the Black Tower. Deacon Madeline and the other two have other important matters, so they will probably have to leave the academy for a while." Ivan gave a brief explanation.
"This is a big deal." Gina exclaimed. She has been a wizard for some time and has a deep understanding of the academy. "Our academy will not fall into the same situation as 'Night Glade', otherwise the three major families--"
She hadn't finished her words, but both people present understood what she meant.
Ivan was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that it shouldn't happen, after all, he had an agreement with the leader of the Star-Moon Alliance. However, it was really difficult to say it out loud, as it would easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Ivan, what do you think?" Randall frowned.
"Just as Gina said, something may have happened to the three major families." Ivan thought for a moment and said, "We are weak and there is not much we can do. We can only repair the Ant-Man Barrier as quickly as possible. As for the rest--"
"Let's take it one step at a time. If things really become impossible, we'll leave together." Randall followed his words.
"Brother Ivan, how long will it take for the Ant-Man Barrier to be built?" Gina couldn't help but ask.
"Recruit more enchanters. If fast, it will take about 20 days."
"It will take so long."
"The Ant-Man barrier covers a small or medium-sized city, so no matter how fast you go, it won't be much faster."
The three masters and apprentices discussed for a long time and initially decided on a strategy that if a major incident occurred, they would fight if they could, and run away if they couldn't.
Several days passed, and there were many smart people in the academy who noticed that the three major families were moving and shrinking their power. In addition, Dean Wakin disappeared after returning, which made people think more.
Some people say that the Star-Moon Alliance has set its sights on the Mona Ant Huts and will attack them soon.
With the help of some people with ulterior motives, the news soon became known to everyone, causing rumors to spread throughout the college and causing panic among the people.
When his disciples Nora and Rona asked him in a roundabout way, Ivan realized that the news had spread to the group of apprentices, making them uneasy.
It was even more impossible for Ivan to tell the two of them the inside story. He just asked them to practice with peace of mind and go out less recently. After all, the Star-Moon Alliance's pursuit of the power of the Flash Vortex has not yet been completed, and it is probably not a trivial matter.
The next day.
The academy held a high-level meeting. Not many people attended this time. Chief Deacon Of was not there, and the two chief deacons who were out were still keeping an eye on the island.
There were several people absent from the three major families.
"The Black Reef Shelter and other academies have been urging us to use the power of the Flash Vortex together to teach those increasingly rampant sea creatures a lesson. What do you think about this?" Vice President Victor stated the purpose of the meeting.
"The Star-Moon Alliance is coming to attack us. How can we spare the energy to deal with those sea creatures? It is better to call back the two chief deacons first." A deacon of the hunting team said.
"Who said the Star-Moon Alliance was going to attack us?"
"Don't try to hide it, this is something everyone knows."
Hearing this, the two vice presidents looked a little ugly, staring at the silent Chris Donner with unfriendly eyes, thinking that he was the one who instigated the hunting team to cause trouble.
"Since everyone wants to know, why don't you two tell us why we have to use the power of the Flash Vortex. Could there be other treasures on the sea?" Chris Donald said slowly.
Among the people attending the meeting, Ivan fell into deep thought, why were things developing in a strange direction? From what the two vice presidents said, they agreed to use the power of the Flash Vortex. This might be an ulterior motive, but it turned out to be a good thing.
"Don't be unreasonable. It was clearly stated when the power of the flash vortex was constructed that it was used to destroy the sea people. The academy has no reason to refuse this." Doris said in a low voice.
"Are you going to disregard the safety of the academy? You don't have any dirty thoughts, do you?" Chris Donner said sarcastically.
"The sea has been peaceful for a long time, and the power of the whirlpool is abundant. We can keep a small part of it."
"This is disregarding the safety of all wizards."
"You are so unreasonable."
Due to Chris Downer's strong opposition, the middle and high-level council ultimately died.
After the others left, only Victor and Doris were left in the council room.
"It doesn't make sense depending on the situation."
"In this case, we can only use the dean's order and forcibly use the power of the Flash Vortex."
"Hey! I hope those people will take the bait."
Of course, the two had their own ideas. After using the power of the Flash Vortex, they made people outside think that the academy was in a weak state. In this way, they could use the academy as bait to test the attitude and strength of the Star-Moon Alliance.
If the other party dares to come, I will break his teeth first.
Compared to the Mona Ant Hut, they naturally value the living area on the other side more.
As for the meeting, the purpose was naturally to calm people's hearts, so that some people would not become overly excited and do something desperate, but it seems that this is not going to work.
