Chapter 931 Mages

After landing in the jungle, Lu Yu and the other three got off the back of the Water Spirit Dragon.

Lu Yu kept the Water Spirit Dragon back in the Water Spirit Pearl and put it into his pocket watch.

"There's a path next to us. Let's go."

Lu Yu led the team to a dirt road and headed toward Night Witch City.

There were relay stations by the roadside, and pedestrians and carriages were on their way.

As they moved forward, their surroundings got lively. It was no longer an environment where people were scarce.

Soon, they saw the city gates.

The city gates were grand and imposing. There were three city gates, and two rows of soldiers stood in front of each gate, all with dignified expressions.

However, although many guards were around the city gates, they did not check on passersby.

Perhaps it was because the people who came here were all from different backgrounds, and it would be very troublesome if they were to investigate them one by one.

Lu Yu and the others followed behind a convoy and slowly entered the city.

The ancient city walls were already in ruins. Some workers were hanging on the walls, repairing them.

Repairing the city walls was a huge project that would require more than a month to complete.

Walking into the city, the streets were all made of green bricks. There were black cast-iron street lamps on both sides of the road. Carriages shuttled through them, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians.

It could be seen that this city was very lively.

Walking on the street, many people wore magic robes or monotonous long robes.

From this, it could be seen that the main population of this city was made up of mages and wizards.

"Do you know where your friend lives?"

Shirley nodded slightly. "Yes, he wrote to me before and told me where he lived. He even joked that I should come visit him given the chance."

"Let's go and meet your friend."

Shirley pursed her lips and sighed helplessly. "If he knew that everyone in his family had died, he would probably be very sad."

"If you're so friendly with him, maybe he's as open-minded as you," Helen said with a smile.

"That's definitely impossible. He's a man. He's different from me!"

Shirley's tone was resentful as she explained," Ever since I was born, I've never left Green Sea City. It's not that I don't want to go out, but the family doesn't allow me!"

"My only goal since I was born has been to marry into another noble family. I had no freedom from the moment I was born, but he did. Because he was a man, he could be sent here to continue his studies as a mage!"

Shirley clenched her fists tightly; the bitterness in her heart was finally unleashed.

"So, I don't have any deep feelings for the family. I won't be too sad if you kill them all. Instead, I'm happy that I've obtained my freedom."

Shirley sighed as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden, as if the shackles on her body had been removed.

"I can tell that they don't treat you well. But now that you've left that family, you can go wherever you want."

Lu Yu patted her shoulder.

From the start, Lu Yu thought she hated him for killing her father, but now it seemed otherwise.

"Let's go and find him and not talk about what happened to his family."

Shirley led the way.

Soon, they arrived in front of a building.

"An apartment building. Does he live upstairs?"

Helen looked up.

Shirley walked forward, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"He lives on the first floor, in the room at the corner."

After Shirley walked in, she stood at the door and took a deep breath.

It was dimly lit here, and only the kerosene lamp on the wall illuminated faintly.

There was a rotten smell in the air, and mushrooms could even be seen growing in the corners. The environment here was not very good.

If this were an apartment in the Freedom Federation, it would be impossible for anyone to rent it.

Shirley raised her hand, clenched her fist, and knocked on the door.

"Cousin Bernie, it's Shirley. Are you there?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

Shirley frowned slightly and continued to knock on the door.

This time, the door opened as she opened her mouth to speak again.

Standing at the door was a fat, red-haired girl. She scanned Shirley up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I... I'm looking for Bernie. He's my cousin."

"I don't know any Bernie; you can look elsewhere."

"But my cousin told me that he lives here."

"I've been here for a year, and I've never heard of such a person. You can look for him elsewhere!"

After saying that, the girl slammed the door.

Helen walked over and asked, "Did you remember wrongly?"

Shirley looked at the room numbers around her and blinked curiously.

"No, I remember clearly. It's impossible for me to remember it wrong! It must be here! I can't be wrong!"

Lu Yu leaned against the wall and said, "Looks like he has already moved. Let's go to some other places to take a look."

"If he moves, he will probably write to me again to tell me..."

Shirley sighed helplessly and left with Lu Yu.

Suddenly, a voice stopped them.

"Um... The Bernie you're looking for moved out a year and a half ago."

Shirley turned around and saw an old man sitting in the corridor.

Due to the dim lighting, they missed the old man earlier.

"You know my cousin?"

"Of course. I'm the janitor here. The Mage Guild chose that Bernie boy to be a mage."

"He used to be quite the famous kid around here. He was said to have created a powerful potion mixture that propelled him to the fifth rank of his guild. He now holds a high position in the Mage Guild."

Shirley suddenly became excited. "Really? That's great! Do you know where he lives now?"

"I don't know, but go and ask around. We commoners wouldn't know the exact whereabouts of such a big shot."

Shirley nodded helplessly. "Alright, thank you for telling us this."

"Oh right, is a Rank 5 Mage strong? What is the highest level?"

"The most powerful is a Rank 12 Mage. A person skilled in all magic skills and capable of concocting various magical potions. He would be so powerful that we ordinary people would not be able to interact with him on a daily basis."

"Rank 5 is already very strong. At least in Night Witch City, it is considered above average."

Shirley bowed slightly to the old man. "Thank you for your help."

With that, the four turned around and walked out of the apartment building.

When they exited the apartment, Lu Yu looked around. "How do we find him? Why don't we find someone to ask around?"

"Let's go directly to the Mage Guild. We should be able to meet my cousin there."

Shirley suggested.

"Alright, let's go to the guild and ask around."
