One.
Surrounded by thirty-six fifteen-story magic towers in Liante City, McCarthy was cleaning up in the building in the center of the city as usual.
McCarthy was not a cleaner, nor was he a waiter. He was a level four wizard. In the inner circle of Liante City, there were no ordinary people. Everyone was a wizard. Ordinary people could not survive in a mana environment.
His job was to clean this huge building and sweep away the dust on the ground. He was very satisfied with this job. Although he was doing the same job as a cleaner, he could stay in the inner city and enjoy a mana environment that other wizards could only enjoy by spending points. He also had time to meditate and train.
McCarthy had been working here for a year, so he was very familiar with this building. The building was a huge square hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a huge and complex circular pattern on the ground.
Although he didn't know what these patterns were for, he knew that this place was very important. He had seen a wizard accidentally break into this place and was then imprisoned by the city's magic circle. He was then killed by a law enforcement wizard who was teleported in later.
There was no trial, no time to explain, and no questions asked. The law enforcement wizard killed the wizard just like that.
From that day on, McCarthy realized the importance of his job, so he worked even harder.
Just as McCarthy was cleaning the ground, the pattern under his feet began to flash with golden light. He was stunned for a moment, as if he was shocked.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the words of the wizard who brought him here a year ago. "If you see something strange here, leave immediately. For your little life, don't hesitate and run out of this hall!"
"Run!" McCarthy thought of this word and began to run with all his might. Staying in a mana environment all year round was not a small benefit to his training, but at the same time, it also increased the damage to his body.
Although Liante City had always provided potions to recover the body, McCarthy, who was only a level four wizard, could only afford the worst kind. Now, he suddenly wanted to run quickly, but because of his weak body, he used too much strength and fell to the ground.
At this time, the golden light above the pattern on the ground became more and more intense. The 36 magic towers in the inner city of Linate City also began to emit golden light towards the building in the middle.
McCarthy's ears were filled with sharp whistling sounds. It was as if a huge amount of energy was gathering in the hall. He knew that if he didn't leave now, he would be in danger. He placed his hands on the ground and was about to stand up, but a huge suction force came from behind him. It was as if it wanted to suck him into the pattern.
"Who's coming over?" Wizard Lorenzo thought to himself as he stood in his office in the Wizard Union and looked at the building in the center covered in golden light.
The purpose of the existence of Liante City was to protect that building and provide energy for the magic circle in that building. The entire Holy Continent had gathered so many resources, manpower, and material resources, as well as the most powerful protection force, just for the safety of that magic circle.
However, that magic circle was rarely used. Every time it was activated, it would consume a large amount of energy. Whether it was leaving or coming from there, it would cost a lot of credit points. Therefore, very few wizards would come from there.
Just when Wizard Lorenzo was confused, the pattern in the hall seemed to have been filled with energy. In the center of the hall, a dark hole appeared.
McCarthy's body was already out of control. As soon as the dark hole appeared, he was sucked towards the center of the pattern by a huge suction force.
"No!" McCarthy let out a blood-curdling scream. He felt his entire body flying towards the center of the energy. His weak spiritual power could sense the terrifying energy behind him. If there was even the slightest contact, his body would be smashed to pieces. He kept shouting, hoping that someone would save him, but at this moment, there was no one to save him.
Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jellal appeared on top of the pattern. Even though they were rank 17 wizards, they couldn't help but feel dizzy due to the ultra-long distance teleportation.
McCarthy's body disintegrated as soon as it came into contact with the outer edge of the dark hole. Although he had used the defensive talisman that he had been reluctant to use, it was a pity that the defensive talisman couldn't provide him with any protection. The defense provided by the defensive talisman didn't even stop before it was destroyed.
Wizard Bunker and Wizard Jellal were woken up by a shower of blood. They were rank 17, so they had passive defensive magic items on them, but they couldn't do anything to this kind of blood that was harmless to them.
"Old 6, are you okay?" Wizard Bunker woke up from the dizziness. The first thing he noticed was his body was covered in blood. At first, he thought there was an accident in the teleportation, but he was not injured at all. He quickly asked Wizard Jellal.
"Old 5, I'm not injured. What happened?" Wizard Jellal yelled angrily. He had put on a new robe for this trip. It cost him a lot of credit points.
"Maybe some unlucky wizard got sucked into the super teleportation circle!" Wizard Bunker quickly guessed what had just happened.
"We are also unlucky. How could something like this happen when teleporting!" Wizard Jellal said as he shook off the blood on his hair.
After years of war, these 2 elite wizards did not care much about blood. However, anyone would be mad if they were drenched in blood during teleportation.
At this moment, Wizard Lorenzo was sitting in his office, looking at the information sent over by the spirit of the city. Every person who was teleported over had to be identified. If they couldn't be identified, then the powerful city defense circle would mobilize the power of 36 magic towers and a giant magic circle all over the city to imprison the person who was teleported over.
"Wizard Bunker, rank 17, battle wizard; Wizard Jellal, rank 17.
Elite Wizard Jellal, rank 17 Elite Wizard, battle wizard. "
Wizard Lorenzo's eyes flashed. He knew where these 2 elite wizards came from. They were from the same sect as Wizard Cliff. They must have come back to investigate the murder of Wizard Cliff.
Wizard Lorenzo was in charge of the intelligence system all year round. He thought of a lot of things. He had 2 choices in front of him. One was to help these 2 elite wizards and gain the favor of the people behind them.
The other was to not get involved in this matter. Even if he gained the favor of the people behind these 2 elite wizards, it would not affect anything in the Holy Continent. Unless he gave up his identity as a guardian and did not want to live a peaceful life as a guardian wizard.
Although he didn't know who killed Wizard Cliff, everyone in the human world knew about the grudge between Wizard Cliff and Guru Abel. With the nature of those people, they would definitely cause trouble for Guru Abel. Was it worth it to get on the bad side of Guru Abel just to please 2 wizards of the same rank?
Most importantly, he knew that the relationship between Abel, the elves, and the dwarves was much deeper than what he saw on the surface. For the construction of Abel's magic tower, the dwarves had sent their best construction team, and the elves had even sent the royal elven Lady Carrie.
This was no longer a normal relationship. There must be some kind of deep friendship between the two races that Wizard Lorenzo didn't know about. If he wanted to live in the Holy Continent, offending a Grandmaster Blacksmith with such a wide network was not a good thing for him.
Thinking up to this point, Wizard Lorenzo casually sent a message to the other 3 elite wizards in Liante City. He also added that he would be going into retreat for a few days due to some enlightenment.
Wizard Allenby and Wizard Eddington both received a message from Wizard Lorenzo. When they saw the names, they knew the purpose of their trip. It didn't matter who it was that killed Wizard Cliff, it would be a big problem. It would be best if they didn't get involved.
