Grimm and Nina left the Black Isotta Sorcerer Academy in a hurry instead of visiting other sorcerers that they were familiar with.
Flying in the sky, the Bramble Forest passed by quickly.
Grimm's loose black sorcerer's robe was fluttering in the strong wind. His eyes under the Mask of Truth were filled with hesitation, anxiety, and sadness. Nina was riding on a broom, looking at Grimm worriedly.
"Grimm, what are you going to do if you really find Lefay? She's on the bounty list now. She's a Black Sorcerer's apprentice now. "
Anna asked worriedly, as if she was afraid that Grimm would do something stupid.
Grimm bit his lips, closed his eyes, and shook his head. "No, I know Lefay. She's not that kind of person. There must be something behind this. I want to see her with my own eyes to confirm it."
Anna let out a sigh.
"No matter what secrets there are, since I've already embarked on the path of a Dark Sorcerer in the Sorcerer Continent, there's no turning back. I can only hide like a mouse in the darkest corner every day, and I may be hunted down by the bounty hunters at any time."
Grimm growled in a low voice. "I know all this! I just want to ask her why she's like this! I want to see Lefay one last time, even if I'm executed by the Sorcerer Continent. "
Sigh …
Anna said, "Alright. Bone Bell Tower has sent out most wizards and elite sorcerer-apprentices to hunt down many Black Sorcerer's apprentices. However, there's still no news of Lefay. Let's go to a few places where there's a lot of news about Black Sorcerer's apprentices."
"Okay."
Grimm nodded and followed Anna.
…
It was a city between the Black Isotta Academy and the Ivory Castle Sorcerer Academy, Purcell City.
Purcell City had a population of about 700,000. Merchants and knights came and went all the time. It was an important transportation hub, famous for its hair, elephant hide, cotton, and Black Spar.
Inside and outside the city, there were hundreds of towering castles, big and small. The bustling commercial streets were a thriving mirror image. There were also old and dilapidated houses in the slums, which were filled with precarious and weak people.
The slums seemed to be an evil place that bred crime. Every now and then, there would be backstabbing. The public security team would not come to investigate at all.
Ursulu was an orphan who grew up in the slums of Purcell City.
Like most orphans, Ursulu had no idea where he came from. Relying on his sharp mind and strong body, Ursulu managed to survive in this cruel environment where the strong preyed on the weak. Gradually, he became the leader of the gangsters on the streets of the slums.
Ursulu was nineteen years old. He was 1.75 meters tall and had a head of messy brown hair. His face was covered in grease, and his eyes were like those of a venomous snake. The corner of his mouth was curled up in a sinister smile, and he held a knife in his hand. Behind him were seven or eight hooligans, who were loitering around in their own territory.
A few hoodlums stopped at a shabby sewing stall.
"Hmph! Old man, I didn't charge you last month for the sake of your daughter. If you dare to be long-winded again this month, hmph, hmph … "
Ursulu fiddled with the blade in his hand, laughing sinisterly and viciously.
The old man at the sewing stall raised his head shakily. He looked like he wouldn't live for more than a few days. His hair was already sparse.
However, Ursulu didn't care. This old man had been like this for many years. All the poor people here had tough lives.
Soon, an attractive woman in her thirties ran over from afar.
"Ursulu, my father won't give you another copper coin!"
Ursulu glanced at the woman and snorted coldly, "You're just a servant of the baron. Don't think that you've become his mistress …"
Kacha, kacha, kacha.
Slowly, from the entrance of the alleyway, a tall and mighty knight in metal armor walked over. His eyes under the helmet were meticulous and strict.
"These are the people of the baron. The glory of justice that the baron believes in will be spread to every corner of the land."
When the woman saw the knight walking over, she stuck close to him and straightened her back a little. She glared at Ursulu.
A fully-armored knight was not someone these street thugs could touch.
Ursulu gritted his teeth. It's this bastard who's here to uphold justice again. I wonder how this woman hooked up with him. Hmph!
Turning around, Ursulu winked at one of the thugs behind him. In the blink of an eye, the thug sneered and ran away.
The local bully had his ways!
Kacha!
The tall knight drew his sword and said coldly, "I'm the retainer knight of the baron. Even if I execute you on the spot to uphold justice, I won't be punished by the security team. Do you want to try, kid?"
"Ahahaha, this is a misunderstanding. How could we offend the justice that the baron believes in? We're just … "
After a short while, a knight suddenly galloped over on a horse.
"Izo, the butler has summoned you. The baron is going to the viscount's mansion. I heard that wizards have come to the city and sealed the city gates. Something must have happened! "
The knight on the horse stopped between the two groups of people and spoke to the knight in armor who believed in justice.
"Conspiracy, this is a conspiracy, my lord …"
The woman looked at the knight in armor pleadingly. The knight in armor hesitated for a moment and looked at the security team running across the street in the distance. It was obvious that something had happened. In the end, he shook his head and did not dare to delay any longer.
The knight in armor sighed and got on his horse in the distance. The two knights left.
With a loud slap, Ursulu pushed the woman away and continued to beat her. He roared, "Bitch! Today, I'll let you know who keeps their word on this street. How dare you call for help? Call for justice, call for justice … "
"Sob sob sob …" The woman covered her head and cried bitterly.
A few thugs surrounded her and continuously beat the baron's female servant, carefully avoiding hitting her face.
"Stop beating her, stop beating her. Here's all the copper coins …"
The old man in the sewing stall pulled with all his might, but to no avail.
There were too many poor people watching. The few thugs had to do something to protect their 'status'. Although they did not dare to use any strength when hitting the female servant, they did not dare to use any strength at all.
After a while, a smug Ursulu took the money pouch and left with a group of hooligans in an arrogant and despotic manner. Only then did the slum dwellers shake their heads and disperse with a sigh.
…
The sun was setting and the sky was starting to darken. In the dirty slums, Ursulu weighed the money bag in his hand and laughed. "Damn it, justice was almost served. What a bitch."
The other thugs laughed along.
Only one thug looked around suspiciously and said in a low voice, "Boss, this street is not peaceful. I heard that many people have been stabbed in the back and disappeared."
"Bah! We are the bosses here. Who dares to touch us? "Ursulu turned around and gave the thug a slap on the face.
The thug quickly laughed along.
Huff, huff, huff …
In the distance, the thug who ran out earlier chased after them. Ursulu laughed. "Good job, Er Ni Hei. That plucked chicken gave the order to get rid of him so quickly."
The thug who was panting was stunned. "Boss, I didn't see that plucked chicken at all. I can't even enter the baron's mansion today!"
Hmm?
The group of hooligans was stunned.
At this moment, a creepy voice came from the abandoned house beside the thugs. "Hehe, I need a new batch of experimental materials …"
Water elemental aura spread out.
