Chapter 260: Chapter 207 Order
"Wait, don't rush into it."
On the opposite training ground, Bruceton felt something was wrong when he saw Athir's movements. He quickly said, "If I want to leave, do you really think you can catch up with me?"
Hearing this, Athir paused as he was about to draw his sword: "What do you want to say?"
"To you who come from the Emerald Hand, I am no enemy."
Bruce didn't know what he was thinking about, but he had an inexplicable smile on his face: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Jim. As you can see, I'm from the Dark Wizards Union."
As he spoke, he took out an emerald badge from his hand and threw it over.
"This is···"
Looking at the badge, Athir's face changed and he caught it with one hand.
In the darkness of the night, the emerald-colored badge emitted a faint fluorescence, and there was a very special spiritual fluctuation on it, which was the same frequency as a certain one that Athir was familiar with.
"This is a token from the Emerald Hand. I think it should be enough to prove my sincerity."
The dark wizard named Jim smiled and said, "The specific order will probably arrive in a few days. Then you will understand what is going on."
After he finished saying this, a black mist filled the area and his figure turned into a shadow and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Opposite him, watching his leaving figure, Atier's face was gloomy. He hesitated for a moment, and finally did not chase after him.
A shadow quickly shuttled through the city and stopped only when it reached a forest outside the city.
"Jim, why did it become like this?"
In the shadows, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
"I was still careless."
Coming here, the black aura shrouding Jim gradually dissipated, revealing a pale face: "That wizard sent by the Emerald Hand is much more powerful than I thought. He doesn't look like a wizard from the Emerald Hand at all. He looks more like someone from our Dark Wizard Alliance."
"From the information given to us by the Emerald Hand, he was not a wizard trained by the Emerald Hand, but a wild wizard who joined halfway. It is normal that his combat power is stronger than other wizards." The hoarse voice responded.
"Well, no wonder then."
Hearing this, Jim couldn't help but shrugged: "Although there were some accidents, the most basic purpose was achieved."
"The target has been stabbed by my dagger, so this period of time will definitely not be easy for him. It's a good opportunity to let someone else deal with it."
"How strong is that wizard?" The hoarse voice from the side sounded again.
"Very good. He was able to beat me like this. Although part of the reason is the burden of this body, the opponent's strength is indeed good." Jim responded.
"In that case, let's find a way to get in touch."
At the side, the shadowy figure spoke again, and a hoarse voice echoed around: "The alliance has just been established, and it is in need of pharmacists. It would be great if we could bring a powerful potion wizard like this over."
"Let's ask someone to try." Jim nodded.
···················
Returning to the previous hall from outside, the riot here had been suppressed.
In the middle of the hall, Yadra sat on a wooden chair. His face looked a little bad, with a strange purple color.
Seeing him like this, Athir frowned: "How do you feel?"
"It's terrible." Yadra's face looked grim, and his breath was a little disordered: "Where are you? Did you catch up with the dark wizard?"
"No."
Athir shook his head without changing his expression: "That dark wizard is very good at hiding his aura. I chased him all the way to the outer city, but he left me behind."
"It's normal that I can't catch up."
Listening to Athir's words, Yadra did not find it strange: "This ability happens to be what dark wizards are good at. Although the opponent was injured, it is not surprising that he was able to escape from your hands, Athir."
After a while, as his injuries became more serious, Yadra's face turned pale and he left in a hurry.
After he left, looking around, Athir had no intention of staying and went straight to his residence the same way he came.
"Lord Athir, why are you back so soon?"
After returning to his residence, Thor looked at Athir and felt a little strange.
"Something happened outside, remember not to go out during this period."
After taking a quick glance at Thor, Athir asked, "How is that girl?"
"It's going very well."
Speaking of this, Thor's pale face suddenly showed an excited expression: "The mark on Yana's body has mostly faded. It seems that the curse has been successfully suppressed."
"Take me to see it." Hearing his words, Athir nodded slightly, then walked towards his laboratory.
In the center of the spacious laboratory, a naked girl lay there quietly, looking like she was asleep.
Compared with before, the dense black marks on her body have faded a lot, leaving only the mark on her forehead, which is still there without any burst of suppression.
Under the suppression of the witch formation on her body, the black scales that originally grew on the girl's abdomen disappeared, and the changes in her body stopped and began to return to normal.
"I estimate that she will wake up in a few days."
Standing in front of the experimental bench and observing through the chip for a while, after coming to this conclusion, Athir left the laboratory, leaving Thor here to watch.
In this way, several days passed quickly.
During these few days, the atmosphere in the city seemed a little tense.
Even though Yadra blocked the news in time, the news that he was assassinated and seriously injured still spread throughout the city due to the deliberate spread of some people.
If it weren't for the official wizard Athir, and if the lizardmen outside the city hadn't made any movement during this period, the city would probably not be so peaceful.
Early in the morning, in a very luxuriously decorated room, Athir was sitting on a chair, holding an emerald ring with the mark of the Emerald Hand on it.
At this moment, the ring was emitting a faint green light, and there was a mental fluctuation flashing on it, reminding Athir.
He input his magic power into the ring through a specific frequency, and a scene soon appeared before his eyes.
A curtain of light appeared in front of him, and a figure instantly appeared in the same place. He looked like an old man. It was Maddo who brought Athir into the Hand of Emerald.
"Athir, long time no see."
He looked at Athir with some sigh on his face.
"Indeed, if you count the time, it has been several months."
Athir's expression remained unchanged, with a familiar smile on his face: "So, Lord Maiduo specially used the message this time. Is there something urgent that you want to inform me of?"
"indeed."
Opposite Athir, Maiduo nodded: "According to the latest instructions from above, your mission this time has been completed."
Hearing this, Athir's heart sank, but his face remained calm, revealing a surprised expression: "What?"
"You don't have to be surprised."
Looking at the expression on Athir's face, Maddow said, "Just half a month ago, the top management made a decision to cooperate with the Dark Wizards Alliance..."
·····
The conversation lasted for half an hour. With a slight sound, the light curtain in front of them slowly faded, and Maddo's figure disappeared along with it.
After all this was over, Athir's originally calm expression suddenly turned gloomy: "It's only been less than three months, and we just formed an alliance with Griffin College, but now they are changing their minds... What on earth are the top leaders of Emerald Hand thinking?"
"And I was not notified of such an important matter until now. It seems that a wizard like me who joined halfway is not considered one of their own, right?"
Thinking of this, Athir's face became even gloomier.
The Emerald Hand itself is a large wizard academy. Formal wizards like Athir who are recruited from outside are definitely not treated as well as formal wizards trained by the Emerald Hand itself. Athir knows this very well.
However, the actions of the Emerald Hand this time made Athir feel uneasy.
In just a few months, he went from deciding to provide aid to betraying his allies and joining the camp of dark wizards. Regardless of whether this decision was correct in itself, just the task assigned to Athir by the other party made Athir feel that something was wrong.
In the conversation just now, in addition to expressing his apologies to Athir, Maddo also gave Athir a task, asking Athir to personally eliminate Yadra before leaving as the Emerald Hand Wizard.
"Let me, a newly joined official wizard, get rid of Yadra as a gesture of gratitude to the Dark Wizard Union... If we turn against the Dark Wizard Union in the future and make friends with Griffin Academy again, I'm afraid I will be the first one to be pushed out as a scapegoat..."
Athir's face was gloomy. "They are just a few new wizards. They are just the right size to be scapegoats. If they can play their value at the right time, judging by the style of the academy's top management this time, I'm afraid they won't hesitate at all."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, and then looked outside.
Outside, the sun was just shining on the earth, bringing bursts of warmth.
After hesitating for a moment, Athir stood up and walked out.
Walking out of the manor, he quickly left the outer city.
Arriving all the way out of the city, Athir walked to a plain and took out a black key.
The key is cross-shaped and looks like a piece of black crystal. It is beautifully made and has a crown pattern engraved on it, representing some kind of mark.
Holding the key, Athir's expression remained unchanged, and his magic power was quietly and silently injected into it.
Under Athir's gaze, the black key emitted a faint black light, and the whole thing looked very beautiful.
Not far away, illuminated by the faint light, an inexplicable spiritual fluctuation emerged, causing a group of black crows to fly over quickly.
Looking at the group of black crows, Atier took out a letter, put it directly on the ground, and left without even looking at it.
PS: Starting tomorrow, I will resume updating twice a day.
