Chapter 100 Wandering Apprentice
"The magic stones I get from selling magic potions should be enough for what I need in a short time."
"Although it is easy to sell potions in the black market, after all, you are outside the academy and are not bound by rules. There will always be some people with evil intentions. After this transaction, it seems that you need to be more careful in the future."
Moving quickly, Enzo walked on a remote path.
His face was calm, but he was extremely vigilant in his heart. Not long after he left the black market camp, the chip sounded an alarm, and Enzo also noticed that someone seemed to be following him. It was obvious that he was being targeted.
"Judging from the magic power fluctuations detected by the chip, they should be just two minor characters!"
Enzo sneered in his heart and continued to move forward calmly.
At this time, we were not far from the wizard academy. In a deserted open space, green vines suddenly sprang out and wrapped around Enzo crazily.
In an instant, the vines wrapped Enzo into a ball.
"We succeeded!" A short boy on the thick tree looked happy.
He jumped down from the tree, then quickly rushed forward, stabbing out the dagger in his hand fiercely, and stabbed it into the vines that wrapped Enzo.
"Did you succeed?" Another figure fell to the ground. It looked like a young apprentice.
"Of course, no one can break free from my [vine entanglement]!" The short apprentice looked proud, stabbed him with his dagger a few more times, and said with greedy eyes: "This guy is a fat sheep, and it's worth keeping our eyes on him." He’s over a month old.”
"Well done, Adam!" the young apprentice praised. Just as she was about to step forward, her face suddenly changed and she shouted in horror, "Be careful! He's behind you!"
Phew!
The sharp blade instantly penetrated the back, and a painful expression suddenly appeared on the face of the short apprentice named 'Adam'. He turned around with difficulty, but only saw a blurry shadow.
"Uh help" Adam spat out blood and his eyes dimmed.
"Wings of Wind!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the young apprentice decisively turned around and ran away. She chanted a spell, and the strong wind immediately enveloped her, forming a pair of cyan wings.
"Want to escape? Chip, calculate the angular distance!"
The corners of Enzo's lips raised, with a hint of sneer.
"Shadow Spear!"
The jet-black spear shot away rapidly, accurately hitting the target at the optimal angle calculated by the chip.
"Ah!!" Amidst the screams, the young apprentice fell from mid-air.
"Don't! Don't kill me!" The young apprentice was pierced through the shoulder by the Shadow Spear and suffered a broken calf caused by the fall. Her face was pale and she looked at the approaching Enzo with fear in her eyes. She begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, sir. I am willing to pay for it." At any cost.”
"Aren't you from the academy, a wandering apprentice?"
Enzo looked at the young apprentice in front of him and found that she did not wear the status medal belonging to the wizard academy, and the magic power fluctuations on her body were extremely weak. She was obviously a wandering apprentice.
"Sir, please don't kill me, Elena is willing to accept you as her master!"
The young apprentice covered her wound and knelt on the ground with difficulty, her body unable to help but tremble with fear.
"Your name is Elena?"
"Yes, sir." Elena nodded quickly.
"Why are you targeting me?" Enzo's eyes were cold, watching the other person's expression. Under the detection function of the chip, any emotional fluctuations would be captured, and the lies would be exposed instantly.
"This was Adam's idea. He saw you entering the black market a month ago, and then potions began to be sold in Bartucci's shop. Adam speculated that you might be a potion master, so he decided to take action against you. "
Elena gritted her teeth and put all the blame on her companions.
"I see." Enzo nodded secretly, thinking in his mind: "Trading in the black market is indeed unsafe. I have obviously been very careful to keep a low profile, but I still leave clues, so I am targeted."
"It seems that when you are not strong enough, you should stay in the academy as much as possible!" Enzo sighed in his heart and sounded the alarm.
"Sir, everything was Adam's idea. I was just obsessed for a moment. Please forgive me." Elena looked at Enzo's face carefully, her eyes slightly moved, and she suddenly opened her robe and said to please: "As long as you don't Kill me and I will serve you for life!"
"Slave? It's a pity that I don't need it!" Enzo's eyes turned cold and he suddenly drew his dagger.
Blood spurted out, Elena's expression was stiff, her eyes were filled with astonishment, and she covered her throat with her trembling hands, but more and more blood gushes out from her fingertips.
Wandering apprentices cannot be brought into the academy, and there is no contract guarantee. Enzo does not believe that Elena will willingly become his slave.
Rather than leaving a hidden danger, it is better to eliminate the root cause now.
Enzo never shows mercy to his enemies!
The sky is dark and the crescent moon is high.
When Enzo returned to the academy, it was already evening. He went straight to the trading area. Following the route given by the chip, he soon came to a store called 'Lilith's Cabin'.
"Welcome, feel free to buy whatever you want."
As soon as he entered the 'Lilith Cabin', Enzo heard a lazy voice, looked forward and saw a black cat with smooth hair, lying lazily on the counter.
"Cat?" Enzo was a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved.
In the wizarding academy, even a crow can serve as the librarian, so it is not surprising to see a talking black cat.
"Hello, I want to buy a witchcraft model." Enzo stepped forward and stated his needs.
"Here! They're all laid out over there. You can pick whatever you want." The black cat didn't even raise his head, stretched out his paw and pointed in a direction.
Enzo looked in the direction of the black cat's finger and saw a display cabinet.
He walked over and scanned the witchcraft models inside, and found that although there were many types of things inside, they were all low-level magic models and did not have what Enzo wanted.
"Is there anything more advanced?" Enzo asked.
"No, that's all." Black Cat curled up and said impatiently.
"Uh, please take a look at this." Enzo smiled bitterly, took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over.
"Letter of introduction?" The black cat opened one eye, popped out a cat claw, and tore open the envelope, "Huh? So it was Byron who introduced me?"
"Since you are Byron's friend, let's wait a moment." Black Cat cheered up and shook his body.
Then it jumped off the counter and walked into the back room with light steps. It didn't take long before it reappeared, with a petite girl wearing a white robe behind it.
