Chapter 229 Special Research Project

That night, the mortal nobles in the caravan picked up firewood and built a huge bonfire in the wilderness. Then, under the command of Witch Sophia and Witch Gabriel, they created a simple camp around the bonfire.

The whole night was dim, without moonlight or starlight, and the earth was dark except for the campfire in the center of their camp.

Early the next morning, the carriage convoy started moving again.

After traveling all the way, they finally crossed the wilderness and arrived at a city before dusk.

The houses in this city-state are mostly stone buildings and appear to be the largest human settlement in the vicinity.

The human political power in the Dark Wizard Land is not organized as a country, but as city-states.

Behind these city-states are wizard factions within the Blood Curse Court, and these city-states collect unprocessed magical resources for these factions.

Witch Sophia seemed to have power within this city-state, so she easily passed through the city wall entrance of this city-state called [Corinth].

The Corinthian slave soldiers guarding the city walls all put their fists on their chests to show respect to the witch Sophia, as if to collectively express their respect.

Locke walked beside Witch Sophia, feeling somewhat surprised that Witch Sophia could be so powerful in the enemy’s base camp deep inside the heart of the enemy.

Locke whispered, “Teacher, how did you do it? Their attitude towards you is as if they are welcoming their master home.”

Witch Sophia curled her lips slightly. “You’ll soon know the reason.”

Soon, the lord of the slave city-state of Corinth ordered the slave soldiers to invite them to enter the fortress in the core area of the Corinth city-state.

Locke and the other five were separated from those mortal nobles.

The main purpose of the mortals they brought with them was to cover them, and now that they had arrived here, they were no longer needed.

Moreover, continuing to bring these mortal nobles with him would only harm them.

Therefore, this group of mortal nobles had no idea from the beginning to the end that they had followed the five wizards from Lilith’s Hut, crossed the enemy camp, and entered the enemy’s rear. They were in extreme danger at all times.

Inside the Castle of Corinth, after the dinner, in the office of the Lord of the City.

The wizard lord of Corinth, a first-class wizard apprentice, a dark wizard apprentice, knelt in front of witch Sophia in front of Locke, Albert and Andy.

“Master Sophia, thank you for helping me improve my status in the Blood Curse Tribunal. As you requested, I have already gathered information about the Curse Ritual Research Institute within the city-state of Corinth. There is indeed one here, and as far as I know, the confidentiality level is very high.”

“There seems to be a special research project of the Blood Curse Tribunal here.”

“The person presiding over this event is none other than the senior curse master: Rashid Talil.”

Witch Gabriel and the others looked at it in surprise.

Locke also knew that the research projects of the Blood Curse Court were generally divided into special, first, second, third and ordinary classes. Generally, projects at the wizard apprentice level rarely exceeded second class. Only those large-scale experiments in the wizard sequence could barely be rated as second class.

A special research project means that it is a very important project to the Blood Curse Tribunal and may even affect its development direction in the next thirty years.

Witch Sophia had never expected that her target, Rashid Talil, was actually in charge of such an important project.

Witch Sophia sneered. “The academy’s leadership has a really good plan.”

Witch Sophia looked at the first-class wizard apprentice, the dark wizard, and asked, “Do you know the specific content of that special research project?”

“And a way to enter the curse ritual research institute.”

A guilty look flashed in the eyes of the first-class wizard apprentice, “Master Sophia, I’m sorry, I don’t know the specific content of that special project. I’m just an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice with a mana of 210.”

“Only senior first-class wizard apprentices with a mana of 400 or above can enter the Curse Spell Research Institute.”

“Also, I still haven’t found a way to enter that curse ritual research institute. No, the point is, I don’t even know the exact location of that curse ritual research institute.”

A look of confusion flashed across the dark wizard Nils’s eyes. “Every day I see a large amount of magical resources being transported to the city-state of Corinth, but I have no idea where they end up.”

“I’m responsible for security, but I can’t find the entrance to the Curse Magic Research Institute.”

Albert comforted him, “That’s normal. After all, it’s a research institute for special projects. The entrance might be blocked by magic.”

Andy glanced at the dark wizard coldly, his eyes filled with disgust and murderous intent. “I don’t quite believe you. Are you a double agent?”

“Have you checked the shadows of the Corinthian city-state? It’s possible that the entrance to the institute is in the shadows of these buildings. You dark wizards always like to hide the entrances to important facilities in the shadows.”

The dark wizard Nils felt Andy’s rejection, but he could feel Andy’s enormous magical power. As long as Andy was willing, he would hardly be Andy’s opponent.

The gap between first-class wizard apprentices is greater than that between humans and dogs.

Niels saluted Andy and said, “Senior, what you said is also the direction I have investigated before, but I have found nothing.”

Nils looked at Witch Sophia and knelt down to her again. At the same time, he looked at Locke and bowed deeply to him.

This made Locke feel confused.

“Master, you’re a spy, why are you giving me such a big gift?

” Nils, the wizard apprentice, said, “Master Sophia, this must be your student, my senior, Lord Locke Augustine. Master Sophia, I’m willing to do my best to help you find the entrance. I only have one small request.”

“Please take me away from the Blood Curse Court. My wizard mentor is Rashid Talil. As long as his line of wizards is eliminated, all the curses on my head will disappear.”

“I originally came from the mortal world overseas. I never wanted to be a dark wizard. It was the people from the Blood Curse Court who kidnapped me.”

“Please take me back to Lilith’s cabin as agreed and accept me as your student.”

Locke raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn’t expect that the dark wizard would take him away from the dark wizard’s land as a condition of the transaction.

Witch Sophia frowned.

At the same time, Andy, the Incinerator, had a ray of flame magic in his eyes. He took out a high-level magic item from the Star Ring, a wizard sword with a 0.9 ring of burning curse flame attached to it.

“I said this dark wizard apprentice had bad intentions. Why not just arrest him and torture him to find out the location of the entrance and exit and how to enter.”

“Witch Sophia, Witch Gabriel, what do you think?”

The dark wizard Niels was startled. He quickly shouted, “Wait a minute, senior, you are too prejudiced against me.”

“I just want to become a student of Lilith’s Cottage Academy, change from a dark wizard to a white wizard, and no longer be anyone’s slave. Master Sophia, you have always known my wish.”

Witch Sophia said, “Andy, he’s just a child. You don’t need to scare him like that.”

Andy scoffed. “Dark wizard child? None of these people have clean hands. Everything in this cesspool is shit.”

“Sophia, you’re just kindhearted. These dark wizards actually dare to make demands on us. Just give them Veritaserum! Isn’t Albert the best at Veritaserum?”

Witch Gabriel frowned. “Andy, calm down. You’re too emotional. As a wizard, this can be fatal.”

“If you can’t find the entrance, don’t worry. If that doesn’t work, I can use the magic of the Prophecy School to easily predict and locate the entrance to the institute.”

“The only problem is that the Blood Curse Court has five Wall of the Faithless systems. When I use prophecy magic, the probability of being located will be very high. Unless it is absolutely necessary, neither Witch Sophia nor I can take action.”

“So, you three better think of a solution. Nils, your request is not impossible to consider, but it depends on your performance and whether you can make a great contribution.”

The dark wizard apprentice, Nils, breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes, okay.”

“Thank you, Master Gabriel.”

Witch Gabriel looked at Nils with a playful look. “However, you are too careless. There is actually a little bug following you.”
