Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 308 Hesitant to Speak
Chapter 309 of "Exploring Technology in a Wizard World" begins revealing: Mu Konni, on the other hand, kept her head down and toyed with her finger,... Continue the adventure!
Mu Konni, on the other hand, kept her head down and toyed with her finger, pale as scallions, and said in her magnetic voice, âI told you, there wonât be anyone else. You didnât believe me and had to make such a fuss. Look, isnât there nothing here now?ââHow strange,â Suo Menâs brows knitted into lumps. âAs soon as I entered this courtyard, I felt weird, as if someone was secretly watching us. I felt the same way back in the alley after the auctionâŠâ
âYou didnât find anyone that time either,â Mu Konni rolled her eyes. âI think youâre just too sensitive. Besides, if there really were someone, wouldnât they have touched the three corpses after we were gone for so long? After all, there are quite a few Magic Tools on them!â
âPerhapsâŠâ
âEnough, enough, stop suspecting wildly. Like you said, we have other tasks to do and no time to waste here. Letâs go!â called Mu Konni.
âAlright.â Suo Men took a deep breath, somewhat unconvinced but helpless, and for the third time, stepped towards the courtyard exit.
With a wave of her hand, Mu Konni, using some unknown method, gathered up the three corpses in the yard and also left for the third time following Suo Menâs steps.
This time, the two of them never returned.
Even so, Richard, to be safe, waited a long time, not leaving the corner of the courtyard until well past midnight before he quickly departed.
Underground in the laboratory, Magic Laboratory.
When Richard returned, he saw Angel lying on the floor of the Magic Laboratory just as when he had left her, still in a faint or sleeping state.
Seeing no abnormality with Angel, Richard felt slightly relieved and reflected on the events that had transpired in Evaâs rented courtyard earlier that day, his thoughts racing.
Truthfully, the events of tonight had provided him with extensive information, no less than what he had gleaned from his first encounter with Suo Men and Mu Konni in the alley after the auction.
Among these pieces of information, some confirmed his previous speculations while others were entirely new. Previously, he had known that Suo Men and Mu Konni belonged to a Mysterious Organization with formidable power. Today, it appeared that their power was even greater than he had imagined.
The consumption of the purple Flames that unleashed the power of a Second-level Wizard, the use of potent Shaping Energy Magic, the peculiar use of Transformation Magic, the unexpected use of Spirit MagicâŠ
If he were to encounter the two again, he would have to be cautious.
Moreover, there were other organizations eyeing the books from the Black Spirit Empire. They seemed weaker than the organization behind Suo Men and Mu Konni, but deploying three wizards, even weaker ones, should not be underestimated.
From this perspective, the secret of the Black Spirit King was indeed hiding something very important, or it wouldnât have drawn such widespread attention.
Thinking over these points, Richard slowly withdrew his thoughts, exhaled softly, and looked at Angel, ready to resolve the matter at hand.
Looking at Angel, Richard noticed, perhaps because the floor was cool at night, that her body was curled up. The skin exposed was contracting, extremely smooth and tight, and her chest area, particularly stimulated by the cold, appeared rather defined. It evoked a pitiful, adorable impression, compelling one towards violation.
Richard squinted his eyes, stepped closer, and reached out his handâŠ
Angel felt her consciousness floating in endless darkness, unable to find where she came from or where she was headed, aimlessly drifting; then she felt cold.
At first, it was just a faint chill, but then the coolness intensified, wrapping around her like the icy air in a winter cellar.
Angel could hardly endure it and woke up with a start, sitting up to find herself in a graveyard outside White Stone City. The ground was damp and cold, scattered with both intact and broken tombstones. In the distance, some graves had collapsed, the coffins cracked open to reveal stark white bones. Further off, ghostly blue flames burned in clusters, like spirits wandering through the night.
Angel was shocked, her eyes wide and her mouth unconsciously agape, a sense of inexplicable panic rising in her heart, not knowing how she had arrived here. As she looked around, suddenly she saw Richard standing not far away, looking at her.
âAwake?â Richard asked.
âUmâŠâ Angel didnât know how to respond, weakly answering. She couldnât fathom why Richard had brought her to the graveyard.
Was he warning her to behave, or else he would simply kill her and bury her here? Angel thought, deciding it was safer to be obedient.
Richard spoke, addressing Angel, âI have two pieces of news for you.â
âAh?â
âThe first, your teacher is dead.â
âWhat!â Angelâs eyes bulged, mouth agape, visibly shocked. She had indeed heard Richard planning to kill her teacher, Eva, but never imagined he would actually do it. She knew well the strength of her teacher Evaâhardly anyone in Rose City dared to provoke her. If Richard could kill her teacher, what did that meanâŠ
âThe second, your teacher wasnât killed by me.â
âHuh?â Angel was momentarily stunned, full of confusion, âNot by you?â
âRight, not by me,â Richard said slowly, âAlthough, I was also prepared to kill her, since you told me she had shown hostility towards me. But⊠before my plans came into effect, someone else beat me to it and killed your teacher.â
âThisâŠâ Angelâs eyes flickered, her expression bewildered, unsure how to take this news.
âBy rights, tonightâs event was because you came to warn me to be cautious. By doing so, you might have been discovered by your teacher Eva and consequently punished. I should be thankful to you,â Richard said.
âHowever, tracing back to the root, this incident happened because I saved you and we came into contact, which gave your teacher Eva a murderous intent. So, I donât owe you any favors. Additionally, your teacherâs death is somewhat beneficial for you; at least you wonât be mistreated anymore.
âIn any case, I want to leave this matter settled here. Hereafter, you donât know me and shouldnât try to find me, nor will I trouble you. Being a smart person, you should understand the meaning of my bringing you here to say these words.â
Angel unconsciously looked again at the surrounding graveyard scene, weakly nodding her head, âUnderstood⊠understood.â
âThatâs good,â Richard said. âThen you should leave here and go back to White Stone Tower Academy. Once youâre back at the academy, you donât need to reveal to anyone that your teacher Eva is dead; in fact, her death has no connection to you, so you donât need to feel any guilt.
âYou just need to carry on with life as usual, and after Rose City and White Stone Tower Academy confirm the death of your teacher Eva, there will probably be some adjustments. Whatever those adjustments are, they are very likely to be beneficial for you. After all, there arenât many like your former teacher Eva.â
âUmâŠâ Angel responded, stepping towards the exit of the graveyard. She walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped, looking back at Richard, hesitating to speak further.
