In the main castle hall of Frost City, Elder Marz was sitting in the middle of the room. Below him was a wizard in a black robe.
A scout bowed to Elder Marz, "Elder Marz, our wizards from the Wizard Union have investigated a lot of information. No one in the Central Continent has ever used such a method of attack!"
Elder Marz was no longer as angry as before. Instead, he asked with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Have you investigated the dwarves? Did they do it? Or did they do something?"
The dwarves were the most experienced when it came to explosives. They could use some special materials to do it.
The scout hesitated for a moment and bowed, "Elder, the Wizard Union hasn't been able to find any information about this. The dwarves rarely attack!"
He knew that Elder Marz was a little confused. Although the dwarves had some explosive methods, they weren't nearly as powerful as what Frost City was hit with. Not to mention, the dwarves' principle was to only sell their weapons and not participate in the battle.
Elder Marz asked again, "How many new faces have entered the teleportation circles in the cities around us recently?"
"Elder Marz, ever since Wizard Godwin asked the Wizard Union to monitor the teleportation circle last time, all the information about the teleportation circle has been locked down. No one has dared to leak any information about the teleportation circle for a while!" The reporter said after seeing the look on Elder Marz's face.
Wizard Godwin's story had spread like wildfire in the Blizzards. He had lost a large number of rank seventeen wizards and lost a limb. His power had been greatly reduced, and he had been taken away by Elder Marz.
Elder Marz cursed in a low voice, "Godwin, damn it! He should die again!" He didn't care about the scout in front of him at all.
The agent bowed and tried his best to pretend that he hadn't heard Elder Marz's words, but his heart was racing. A rank 18 wizard was one of the most powerful beings in the Central Continent, yet he was thrown into a lab by Elder Marz.
After Elder Marz was done scolding, he said in a deep voice, "Bring my orders. Tell them that the Blizzard Clan has been attacked. Ask them to investigate the use of the five nearest teleportation portals!"
This was a standard method of inquiry, but it took a lot longer. Due to the review process and the time to assign the task, it usually took two days for the result to come out. This was under the condition that the Wizard Union approved the application. If the application was directly rejected, then the inquiry would come to an end.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" The intelligence officer bowed and left the hall.
Wizard Emir bowed, "I have something important to report to you, Elder Marz."
"Come in!" Elder Marz said in a deep voice.
As soon as Wizard Emir walked into the hall, he saw Elder Marz's gloomy face. Elder Marz's already withered face was filled with murderous intent. It wasn't hard to imagine that the recent investigation wasn't going well.
Wizard Emir didn't want to report what he knew, but he knew that if he didn't report it now, he would be held accountable by the Blizzard Clan if they found out that his team had a grudge with someone.
Wizard Emir stood in the middle of the hall and bowed, "I know who attacked Frost City, Elder Marz."
"Yes! You say you know who attacked Frost City? "Elder Marz's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he straightened his body as he asked in a loud voice.
"Yes. This method is very similar to Wizard Abel, who came to the Central Continent from the subcontinent!" Wizard Emir held out a parchment that recorded Abel's history in the Holy Continent with both hands and bowed.
A white light flashed in Elder Marz's hand as he activated telekinesis and grabbed the parchment from Wizard Emir's hand.
His eyes quickly scanned through the parchment, and it didn't take long for him to finish reading it.
"So you're saying that your team has a grudge with Abel? Is this the kid who injured Godwin and caused your team to lose so many adepts? "Elder Marz asked with a calm face.
Wizard Emir's heart sank. He knew Elder Marz's temper very well. Elder Marz was scary when he was angry, but he was even scarier when he was calm.
As a wizard who had been doing research on living creatures for a long time, he couldn't complete his research without a calm mind. It was this kind of calmness that contained a strong sense of madness.
Wizard Emir quickly said, "Elder Marz, this Wizard Abel has two ten-meter-tall summons in armor, a young dragon, and a frost element snow eagle!"
Elder Marz sighed, "A nineteen-year-old elite wizard with so many summons and young dragons. Even I wouldn't dare to sign a contract with a young dragon. How ignorant!"
Wizard Emir bowed, "Elder Marz, I let him get away last time. This time, I just need to bring more wizards. We'll catch him!"
Elder Marz suddenly shook his head, "No need. I'll send other wizards to take care of Wizard Abel. Do you know how much the blizzard clan has lost this time?"
Wizard Emir felt his scalp go numb. His power of the Will as a rank nineteen elite wizard felt a strong sense of danger. Without thinking, he drew a "move in a flash" spell and prepared to activate it.
"You want to leave?" Elder Marz chuckled. He was furious when he couldn't fight back when the city's big circle was attacked. Now, he had found a place to vent his anger.
It was all because of Wizard Emir. It was all because of his team that the blizzard clan suffered such a huge loss. Abel was still nowhere to be found, and there was still a chance that the attacks would continue. How could Wizard Emir not be enraged?
The angrier he got, the more he laughed. He looked at Wizard Emir as if he was looking at a test subject tied to his alchemy bench.
Wizard Emir's "instantaneous movement" spell didn't take form. Just when he was about to activate it, the defensive circle of Frost City was already suppressing him. He couldn't move his wizard core, so he couldn't use the "instantaneous movement" spell.
He helplessly took out another "move in a flash" spell scroll, but it still couldn't be activated.
Elder Marz had already used the big circle of Frost City to suppress Wizard Emir. Although Elder Marz didn't care about Wizard Emir on the surface, he didn't dare to underestimate a rank nineteen Wizard Emir.
More importantly, he had been eyeing the bodies of rank nineteen wizards in the organization for a long time. With a rank nineteen wizard as his research material, it would be very helpful for him to break through rank twenty and extend his lifespan.
As soon as he heard that Wizard Emir's team was the cause of this attack, he found a reason that the Blizzards could accept. It was a reason that the Blizzards would give up on a rank nineteen wizard.
If Wizard Emir knew how many top-level gemstones the blizzard clan had used in the attack that day, he wouldn't have come here to tell them.
Elder Marz took out a pair of shackles from his portal bag. There were all kinds of patterns on them, and he locked Wizard Emir up.
Wizard Emir didn't have the ability to escape. His mana was locked down, and the spirit of Frost City was monitoring him.
"Marz, what's going on?" Elder Langland's figure appeared in the hall. He saw Wizard Emir on the ground and couldn't help but ask.
Before Elder Marz could answer, another figure appeared in the hall. It was Elder Bunch.
The suppression of the city's large circle just now had alerted the two elders. After the attack in Frost City, the two elders no longer had the mood to shut themselves up. If they didn't deal with the attack properly, Frost City would become a dangerous place.
Elder Marz kicked Wizard Emir on the ground and said with a cold smile, "Emir found us a good enemy."
Elder Langland's eyes lit up, "You found the attacker?"
Elder Marz lowered his voice, "Wizard Abel, a rank sixteen wizard who just came to the Central Continent from a subcontinent."
"Shouldn't a genius wizard like that be recruited into the organization? How did he become enemies with him? " Elder Langland glanced at Wizard Emir on the ground and asked Elder Marz.
Elder Marz continued, "Emir sent wizards to the subcontinent to kill Wizard Abel, but they were killed instead. When Wizard Abel came to the Central Continent from the subcontinent, he sent wizards to kill Wizard Abel multiple times. In just a few days, there were several conflicts. Four advanced wizards were killed, and one rank eighteen wizard was crippled."
He blamed everything on Wizard Emir. Of course, even if Wizard Emir wasn't the one who did it, it was still his responsibility since it was something that happened to his team.
Headmaster Langland asked in confusion, "That explosive attack was also done by Wizard Abel?"
That kind of attack was too scary. If it wasn't for the large defensive circle, the entire Frost City would've been blown up.
Elder Marz lowered his voice, "There are records of Wizard Abel destroying a city in the subcontinent's Orc Empire. Wizard Abel is the one who did it."
Elder Langland said with a gloomy face, "Too bad for a genius wizard like that. Find him and kill him."
Elder Marz said helplessly, "It'll take some time to find Wizard Abel. The Wizard Union's teleportation circle is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world. I've already sent someone to apply for it."
Elder Bunch, who had been silent for a while, lowered his voice, "I'll send someone to investigate, Marz."
"Benji, I'll have to trouble you then!" Elder Langland said with a smile.
Elder Bunch used to work in the Wizard Union, so he had a lot of connections in the Wizard Union's headquarters.
What Elder Langland cared about the most was the explosive technology. If he found Wizard Abel, he would capture him alive and ask him about it. Once the Blizzards got their hands on the explosive technology, no one in the Central Continent would dare to compete with them for resources.
Elder Bunch took out his identity card and began to communicate with the city spirit. Through the city spirit, he opened the communication circle.
Elder Bunch quickly ended the call and said to the other two elders, "Wizard Abel was last seen at Lenou City. There were no more messages after that."
Elder Langland said with a confused look, "Lenou City? Why would Wizard Abel go there? That city is very far away from Frost City."
If Abel had appeared near Frost City, then it would've been possible to say that he was the one responsible for the attack. However, he appeared in a city that was so far away. Even flying mounts couldn't cover such a distance in a short amount of time without using a teleportation circle.
However, according to the report, Abel's method of attack was exactly the same as Frost City's attack. It was very strange.
Elder Marz lowered his voice, "Don't worry about him. Put out an arrest warrant for Wizard Abel. Anyone who finds his whereabouts will be given a rank 1 mission reward. The organization will send wizards to surround Wizard Abel."
Anyone who found Abel's whereabouts would be rewarded handsomely, and they wouldn't have to participate in the attack. This kind of mission would probably make all the wizards in the Blizzards jealous. Since the Blizzards' friendly organizations could also accept this mission, there would be many wizard organizations that would participate in the search for Abel.
It wouldn't be just the wizard organizations that would be looking for Abel. Empires, merchant guilds, and all sorts of other organizations would be looking for him.
Under these circumstances, even wizards born on the Central Continent would have a hard time hiding themselves, let alone a wizard who just came to the Central Continent.
Since Elder Marz already knew that Abel was the one who attacked Frost City, he decided to stop his investigation. If Wizard Emir hadn't reported to him, the investigation would've been conducted on all the new faces that came to Frost City and all the other cities nearby.
This kind of investigation would've very likely exposed Abel's identity as an elf. Abel's elf identity wouldn't be able to withstand the investigation. His elf identity would've appeared out of nowhere without any information about his past.
Wizard Emir didn't expect that his report to Elder Marz would've not only cost him his life, but it also helped Abel avoid an investigation that could've exposed him.
Abel didn't know that the Blizzards were already searching for him like crazy. Even if he did, he wouldn't care. His wizard badge was thrown into his personal storage box, and he put away everything that could possibly expose his location. It wouldn't be easy to find him.
