Chapter 526

Adam raised his head and glanced at him.

The executive also knew that his answer was not satisfactory, so he hurriedly continued, "They're very cautious, and they're not afraid of death at all. Once they're targeted by us, they'll immediately commit suicide, and those ordinary people don't even know where they came from."

Adam tapped his finger on the table and said unhappily, "Since when did the World of Mages have a supernatural system that we can't recognize? You can't catch them, but you don't even know what they belong to? "

It was not that the executive could not explain, but he felt that the guess he saw was ridiculous, so he simply played a video.

The video itself was nothing to write home about, it was just an ordinary search and rescue operation, but at the end of the video, when the mysterious person committed suicide, he revealed a flaw, and a trace of energy aura.

"This is … ancient magic? They're Anti-Mages? "

Adam had enough reason to be surprised. After the Parliament decided to establish the Academy Mainland, they cleared out all the Anti-Mages on the islands, slaughtering all of them. Of course, because the World of Mages was too big, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be a few fishes that escaped the net, but now they had really become ground rats, hiding and struggling at death's door, who gave them the courage to come out and cause trouble?

"They obviously don't have the courage, but it's hard to guarantee that there won't be people willing to support them." After receiving Adam's inquiry, Wendy, who had directly descended to the Academy Mainland, said disdainfully, "Some people, after being suppressed too much, will obediently live like normal people, but there are also some who won't, they'll become more resentful, crazier, and are always ready to cause trouble, even if the price is their own lives."

Adam asked, "Back then, this mission was carried out by the Third Holy Tower, wasn't it?"

Wendy replied, "Yes, those outside are all dead. However, there are still some who have sneaked into the Magi's Continent. After a while, we gave up on them. We don't think anyone will learn ancient magic. They have completely lost the soil to survive."

"So now?"

"It definitely has something to do with the Freedom Faction. However, I feel that they've only casually saved a few. The Freedom Faction wouldn't be so foolish as to hope that these pieces of trash would cause trouble for us. I reckon that the Freedom Faction is more anxious than us right now."

Adam nodded. Currently, the relationship between the Holy Tower and the Liberal Faction was rather delicate. The balance was tipping towards the Holy Tower, and the Liberal Faction wished for peace so that they could develop better. They would not do such a stupid thing to provoke the Holy Tower.

"Since that's the case, let's wait a little longer. War isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least it can let these mortals know their position."

Wendy chuckled and said, "Just a mortal?"

Adam was noncommittal.

"You're getting worse and worse!"

— — —

That was what Adam thought, and that was what he did.

He stopped the operation of all public infrastructure in the Academy Continent and wantonly sold low-grade weapons, increasing the price by three times.

Seal off the Academy Continent, forbidding any Mages outside of the Academy from entering during this period.

Strictly forbidding any financial groups or Mages from interfering in the war between mortals. Once any Mages were found to have participated in the war without permission, they would be killed without mercy.

Any acts of attacking the Academy would not be pardoned. Once discovered, they would be killed without regard for accidental injuries. As for the apprentices in the Academy, if they dared to leave the Academy to participate in the war, they would be deemed to have voluntarily withdrawn from the Academy and would never be recruited again. Anyone who dared to incite the Academy's students would be exterminated without mercy.

The main purpose of these measures was to isolate the rat-like Anti-Mage. However, after the orders were issued, the war situation was temporarily calmed down, but now the hatred was too great. Everyone was in a killing frenzy, but after a few months, an even bigger war would begin again.

— — —

This matter indeed had nothing to do with the overall decision of the Freedom Faction. It was just a small move by a few people. Even they themselves almost forgot that they had such a backup plan.

They were furious, thinking that Anti-Mage was causing trouble for them.

"Did you catch them?" The Hyperdimensional Mage Clark was one of them. He was very strong, even stronger than all of the Anti-Mage under his protection combined. Back then, he had conveniently saved a group of Anti-Mage and gave them meager survival resources and a small habitat. After that, he no longer paid any attention to these rats. He only ordered the Wizard Tower to contact them and give them some dirty work, but he did not expect to be tricked by them.

"No, they have unilaterally cut off all contact with the Wizard Tower. The Academy Continent is too big, and they are too good at hiding, so it's very difficult to catch them."

Clark roared, "Then think of something, are you all useless? Where are their families in the habitat? Kill them, if you don't stop now, I'll kill them all! "

"They took away all of the official members before they betrayed us, the rest were killed by them."

Clark took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He asked, "How dare they do that? Where are the resources! Where did they get the resources! "

The underling said helplessly, "The resources we gave them were calculated according to the number of people. Now that they have killed most of the members, there are a lot of idle resources. Furthermore, they did well in their previous missions, the Wizard Tower gave them a lot of rewards, so …"

Clark was furious. "Useless! Useless! Useless! These rats are threatening me! They are threatening a great Hyperdimensional Mage! They are provoking the entire Freedom Faction! "

Clark did not lack judgment, this was very obvious. Now, the entire upper echelon of the Freedom Faction did not want to have any more enmity with the Holy Tower. The reason why Anti-Mage dared to do this was because he knew what the Freedom Hyperdimensional Mage was thinking. If they did not help him, he would bite them out.

The method was clumsy but effective. If Clark was bitten out, he would inevitably be in trouble. If it was three hundred years ago, this matter would not have mattered, but it was different now. The best result would be him paying a painful price to compensate the Holy Tower, and the worst result would be him being pushed out as a sacrificial pawn.

What made Clark even more helpless was that Adam's several prohibitions were targeted at him, forbidding official Mages from entering and appearing on the battlefield, cutting off the possibility of his own people searching for them. If these people were discovered by the Holy Tower, Clark was sure that they would definitely betray him.

Would the Holy Tower let go of this opportunity?

Clark asked himself and put himself in their shoes, it was absolutely impossible.

"Be honest for now, and stop all your little tricks."

The underling hurriedly nodded.

Clark said again, "Also … if they come here, don't kill them, bring them to me."

The underling's body stiffened, and he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He did not dare to say another word and hurriedly left.
