Chapter 233: The Disappearance of Witch Sophia

“I have emptied this warehouse.” Locke walked out of the warehouse and said, “In order to prevent a sudden encounter with a dark wizard again, we should use some means.”

“It would be very troublesome if one of the dark wizards escaped.”

Locke whispered the spell of [Summoning Grave Spirit], and suddenly, in front of his eyes, it was as if a laser scanned the entire corridor in the research institute, and a series of information in the Mordor language appeared in front of him.

Two invisible tomb spirits, one on the left and one on the right, explored the corridor in both directions, always staying a hundred meters ahead of him.

Using this method, even if you encounter a dark wizard head-on, you will have time to react.

Locke looked at the magic map in his hand. With this magic map, he could move around the research institute at will and avoid various magic mechanisms and magic traps in the research institute.

Of course, the quality of the Blood Curse Court’s magic traps is average, and that’s just the way it is.

“Teacher, the locations where they fell are probably all random, and I’m currently at the southernmost edge of the institute.”

“I can have the tomb spirits search for them. I also have an undercover agent in this research institute,” Locke said. “Through the tomb spirit in him, huh?”

“Senior Andy’s movements were incredibly fast. He probably didn’t even use his full magic power, but relying solely on his basic mana and a high-level magical item, he slaughtered all the second-class wizard apprentices and dark wizards in the Curse Hall who were responsible for folding curses.”

“It’s probably because he has a profound understanding of the Fire Magic sub-field of the Evolution School. Seniors Andy and Albert both possess the qualities to become full-fledged wizards.”

At this time, Locke saw Captain Andy standing next to Witch Gabriel and holding the enchanted Candace Wizard Sword through the tomb spirit on Leonie Murphy.

Captain Andy was holding a burning sword, and all around him were corpses that he had chopped into charcoal.

He wielded the Candice Wizard Sword and chopped down the head wizard apprentice, a second-class wizard. In just a moment, the head wizard’s body was reduced to charcoal, engulfed in flames.

A whirlwind of fire enveloped him, and before he could even scream, his throat was destroyed by the flames.

The incinerator Andy was about to chop Leonie Murphy, who was squatting on the ground in fear, with his flaming sword in hand. Suddenly, he frowned, and the flaming sword deviated slightly and hit the ground. Immediately, the obsidian floor of the research institute was melted in an instant and turned into a pile of glass shards.

Andy raised his eyebrows. “Locke? This dark wizard maggot, is he your man? I can feel your magical pressure.”

A voice appeared behind Leonie Murphy. “Yes, that’s right, Senior Andy. This is my man.”

At this time, the invisible tomb spirit behind Leonie Murphy began to take shape under the stimulation of the ancient biological bloodline of Locke’s three-eyed tiger-eyed cat. A pharaoh-masked tomb spirit was born from the body of the invisible tomb spirit and replaced the appearance of the invisible tomb spirit.

Leonie Murphy was startled and felt a heavy pressure on his head.

This ghost that was parasitic on him had undergone some decisive changes in its nature.

But Leonie Murphy suddenly became happy. “Master?”

“My two great white wizards, I am your master’s black wizard slave. Please do not kill me. I am your servant. I am one of your own.”

Leonie Murphy looked at it with pride. The supervisor who had been offending him constantly during this period of time had now become a charred corpse.

He sighed again that his decision to take the risk and become Locke’s man was the right one.

Andy put away his wizard sword and raised his eyebrows at the Pharaoh Masked Grave Spirit. “Archaeologist’s methods? Quite a skill. Archaeologists are a core wizarding profession among dark wizards. Junior Locke, you’ve even mastered this magical discipline.”

“That’s great. If we had an archaeologist in our team, it would be of great help to this operation.”

Locke said through the tomb spirit: “Senior Andy, Master Gabriel, where are my teacher and Senior Albert?”

Incinerator Andy immediately said, “Brother Locke, Witch Gabriel and I were randomly teleported here. I had no choice but to kill all the dark wizard apprentices who saw me.”

“At the moment I was attacked by the institute’s automated defense system, I managed to capture Witch Gabriel. Using some of my secret techniques, I was able to ensure that Witch Gabriel and I could act simultaneously.”

“But unfortunately, I don’t know the exact location of Witch Sophia and Albert. They are likely still acting alone. But it doesn’t matter. Witch Gabriel is a witch from the prophecy school. She will definitely be able to determine their location.”

“Our original plan was to help Witch Sophia quickly approach our target, and then have her kill the official wizard. We could retreat immediately while she was doing it. But unexpectedly, plans can’t keep up with changes.”

Witch Gabriel nodded and said, “I’m not worried about Witch Sophia’s safety. Locke, your teacher, is far more powerful than I am. Perhaps only Lord Harlan Vera and Lady Morgana, as well as the dean and seven senior advisors, are more powerful than her in the academy.”

“So I’m just worried about Albert and hope he has good luck.”

Witch Gabriel held up a magical object with a ring that resembled a fishing net and said, “This is a dream catcher, a magical item from the School of Prophecy. It can capture Sophia and Albert’s location by capturing dreams. But strangely, the dream catcher can’t find any information about your teacher, but it does have information about Albert’s location.”

“Let’s meet up with Albert first. Your teacher is someone I can’t even understand. She must have her own plans.”

“I’ll tell you Albert’s location. By the way, do you have a magic map? Please share it with us. With your magic map and my dream catcher, we can easily find Albert’s location.”

Locke immediately used the location information provided by Witch Gabriel to tell them the way forward through the tomb spirit. “I haven’t mastered the archaeologist’s [Historical Projection] yet. But I can tell you the way forward through the tomb spirit.”

“Albert seems to be in an isolation room area. There are six paths leading there, but five of them are very dangerous. The paths in between are either resting places for dark wizard apprentices or important security measures.”

“There’s only one safe route. This route is a bit longer, but the advantage is that we can avoid any difficulties along the way, preventing us from alerting the enemy.”

“There’s only one defensive corridor in the middle, which is inescapable and filled with cursed traps. But we can use some flying magic to quickly pass through that corridor. I happen to have a flying magic plant, and I’ve also learned some plant mimicry spells.”

Andy and Witch Gabriel nodded continuously after listening to this. With this magic map, so many problems were solved.

Andy suddenly said, “Locke, there is a problem. I don’t have any flying spells. Witch Gabriel has some, but she can’t use first-level spells because that would alert the enemy.”

“Albert doesn’t have any flying spells either. If that’s the case, then Albert can’t escape from his current location. He’s essentially trapped in a specific area of this research institute.”

Only then did Locke realize that, yes, the ability to fly at the apprentice level was quite rare.

Witch Gabriel quickly said, “Locke, the mission of rescuing Albert is now up to you.”

“Andy and I will continue with our original plan and try to approach Rashid Talil. My intuition tells us that it’s best for us to stick with our original plan, assuming that Sophia the Witch is completely safe and that she disappeared on her own initiative. And as we get closer to Rashid Talil, Sophia the Witch will also be able to get closer to him.”

Witch Gabriel said, “I have absolute confidence in Sophia. As long as she sets her mind to something, there is nothing she cannot accomplish.”

“Therefore, Locke, Albert’s safety is in your hands.”

Locke was silent for a moment, feeling the trust that Witch Gabriel had in him, as well as the heavy responsibility, and then he said, “Okay, Master Gabriel, I will bring Senior Albert back.”

Andy suddenly said, “But there’s another problem now. I was forced to kill too many dark wizard apprentices just now. They have many curses on them. If so many of them die at once, it’s likely to attract the attention of the institute’s central control room.”

“But there’s nothing I can do. Witch Gabriel can’t take action, and I don’t have any control magic… I’m not good at this. If only Albert and Locke were here with me just now, it would have been better.”

Locke thought about it and realized that this was indeed a problem.

The death of so many second-class wizard apprentices and dark wizards will cause all the curses on them to disappear. This is too obvious for the invisible curse network.

Leonie Murphy, who had been lying on the ground, listening to the conversation between his master and his friends, suddenly brightened up and said, “My Lords… I… I have a way.”

“If it’s just a short delay, it should be possible.”

Suddenly, Andy, Witch Gabriel and the Grave Spirit all looked at Leonie Murphy.

Locke said coldly through the tomb spirit: “Speak.”

Leonie Murphy immediately offered his loyalty to Locke. “Master, I can pretend that a cursed substance has leaked from the lab, causing a massive death toll.”

“This is something that happens frequently in the institute and it doesn’t seem out of place.”

“I can immediately activate the [Two-Way Sound Curse] in this cursed hall and tell those first-class wizard apprentices in the central control room that there has been a serious laboratory leak.”

Witch Gabriel nodded slightly. “Okay.”

Andy also thought it was a good idea. “Locke, let your dark wizard slave do this, but be careful that he doesn’t do anything tricky. These dark wizards are more cunning than each other.”

Andy placed the flaming sword next to Leonie Murphy’s neck, and then, out of respect, Andy explained to Locke: “When I was young, I was deceived by a dark wizard spy and almost made a big mistake, which led to the annihilation of my combat team.”

“None of these dark wizards can be trusted.”

Although Locke didn’t think Leonie Murphy would betray him, after all, in Leonie Murphy’s heart, he had the ability to read his inner thoughts at any time.

But Locke still acquiesced to Andy’s approach.

Locke coldly instructed Leonie Murphy, “Leonie, report the experimental leak to the control center of the research institute immediately.”

“Senior, Master Witch Gabriel, I will go rescue Senior Albert first.”

“Leave that area as soon as possible. I think they will block your area.”

…

Inside the central control room, a first-class apprentice, a dark wizard, was stunned for a moment, a bit confused. “Suddenly, the curses on over thirty second-class apprentices began to dissipate. How could so many second-class apprentices suddenly die?”

“And most of them are from the Curse Hall, the bunch of losers responsible for the advanced geometry of the folding curse spell, and a few are second-class wizard apprentices from other areas.”

“what happened?”

“Damn it, only Severin can see through the curse on them and directly see the scene in front of them. I don’t have this authority, but now Severin…”

He was about to report this unusual situation to the senior curse master [Rashid Tariel], when suddenly a curse line fell towards him, and behind this curse line there was a complex high-level geometric curse ritual pattern.

Leoni contacted the central control room through a two-way sound curse, a simple curse of 0.3 rings.

The two-way sound curse was originally just a curse used to attack and harass the enemy. By cursing the enemy, the enemy can always hear your voice in his ear, whether he is eating, sleeping, working, or meditating, using this method to attack the enemy’s heart.

Later, a first-class wizard apprentice, a dark wizard, while studying the sound curse, accidentally rotated the original sound curse’s geometric pattern 180 degrees, and folded and copied it once, resulting in a means of two-way communication. Therefore, the curse changed from an offensive magic to a functional curse magic.

Leonie’s anxious voice echoed. “Sir, the cursed object in the laboratory has leaked, and everyone here has died.”

“Please, sir, rescue us…”

The first-class wizard apprentice was stunned for a moment, then said nervously, “Even if it was a leaked experimental subject, it’s impossible to kill so many of us at once! Could it be that Pandora’s Box has been leaked?”

“If that’s the case… then it’s troublesome. That’s a blood curse experiment specifically for wizard apprentices.”

“You piece of shit, leave that area immediately. I will seal all the magic alloy doors in that area and the magic locks over there in five minutes.”

“Leave that place immediately and go to the central control room to report the situation.”

This first-class wizard apprentice, a dark wizard, was extremely nervous. “If Pandora’s Box is really leaked, then I must report it to the teacher. No, if I report it now, the teacher will inevitably take his anger out on me.”

“Then I’m screwed.”

“I don’t want to become the next Severin.”

“There’s only one way. I have to solve this problem myself first. Once I have it under control, I can report it to the teacher. Then the teacher won’t punish me too harshly.”

“So wait for that second-class wizard apprentice loser to come over first.”
