Chapter 165 Mutation

After Brak left, Herage had another job besides his daily meditation practice, study, and teasing Shalltear.

That is to patrol around the Black Rock Valley from time to time, count the number of people every day, and check whether there is any abnormality in everyone's status.

He is now the only official wizard in Black Rock Valley and has absolute power over everyone.

After a few days, Herage found no problems.

These people are all old people, and the few have stayed there for at least seven years.

In the entire Black Rock Valley, Herage was here the shortest time.

Herage would inspect it twice a day, in the morning and evening. Only after checking that there were no problems would he return to the castle and continue doing his own thing.

Five days later, Brak was still outside and had not returned.

In the dead of night, Herage was lying on the bed meditating with his eyes closed. Shalltear had fallen asleep next door to him.

In the distance, at the westernmost edge of the Potion Garden, there are rows of houses.

This is where the wizard apprentices and knights who look after the potion garden live. Normally, most people would have fallen asleep at this moment.

But now, seven people sat up from the bed and looked around with complicated eyes.

The castle where Herague lived was located at the northernmost edge of the Black Rock Valley. It was far away from here and exceeded Deep Blue's environmental detection range, so he did not notice the strange movements of these seven people.

After the seven people got up from the bed, they stood in front of the bed or in the open space of the house and took out a dagger or long sword.

Their expressions were a bit complicated, and they seemed to be struggling internally, but they did not hesitate in their actions. They all used weapons to cut open their stomachs, and then fell to the ground.

Blood flowed from their bodies and spread on the ground.

The positions of these seven people are just enough to form a strange rune, and the blood seems to echo each other.

A circular magic circle emerged above the residential area, and two figures appeared in the middle of the magic circle.

The magic wave spread, alarming Herage who was meditating.

He immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the residential area.

"Such a strong magic wave..."

Herage had a premonition that something was bad, so he walked next door and knocked on Shalltear's door.

Shalltear opened the door sleepily, wearing a small suspender belt that highlighted her figure.

She didn't notice this, but asked: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"You hide in the basement immediately, something may be going on. Don't come out unless I call you." Herage ordered with a solemn expression.

Seeing his solemn expression, Shalltear suddenly woke up, and she also felt a powerful wave of magic power.

Herague left after giving instructions. Shalltear took her maid uniform and didn't have time to put it on, so she trotted to the basement to hide.

Herage came outside the castle. Lennon was still sleeping soundly in the gatehouse, and Herage didn't wake him up.

"This distance should be enough."

Herage came to Deep Blue's extreme detection range and observed the situation in the western residential area.

Two people appeared above the residential area, quickly alerting the wizard apprentices and knights below.

One of them is an old man with white hair, and the other is a middle-aged man.

The old man glanced at the people below who ran out to look at him in horror. The magic power in his hands quickly gathered, and then he whispered: "Bingyu."

Countless ice cones formed over the residential area, and then fell like a gust of wind, penetrating the bodies of a group of people below.

Even the wizard's apprentice who was hiding in the house was stabbed directly through the stomach by the ice pick and stuck to the ground.

There were also some wizard apprentices who had quicker reactions and were more clever and escaped a round of ice picks, but then, after another round of ice rain, all the wizard apprentices and knights in the entire residential area died.

"A crystal wizard, a liquefaction wizard."

Herage quickly learned about the strength of these two people through Deep Blue, and began to feel dizzy.

The exit of the Black Rock Valley is at the southernmost point, and he is at the northernmost point. It is impossible to escape from the Black Rock Valley without the two formal wizards noticing.

"Terry, according to the intelligence, there is a first-level wizard in the castle over there. He is a potion master. He has just been promoted and has little fighting ability. You go and deal with him, and then come over and help me seize control of the wizard array."

The old man took out a long red crystal in his hand, looked in the direction of the castle and said.

The middle-aged man Terry nodded and said: "Okay, sir, I'll go and come back quickly."

According to their intelligence, Brak is still in another potion garden far away.

Now there is only one first-level wizard, Herage, in the entire Black Rock Valley, and this first-level wizard has just been promoted for less than a year and is still in the gasification stage.

Terry, a liquefaction wizard, was more than enough to deal with this novice vaporization wizard, and the old man didn't take Herrag to heart at all.

Both of these people are from the Moss family. They had arranged for people to enter the Church family many years ago.

The seven wizard apprentices who committed suicide were arranged by them.

These wizard apprentices have not been allowed to do anything over the years and behave exactly like everyone else. Naturally, it is impossible for the Church family to discover anything.

The Moss family has been coveting the Black Rock Valley for many years, and they made arrangements many years ago to seize this place.

Now that Brak has left the Black Rock Valley and will not be able to come back in a short time, it is their best time to take action.

It would be extremely difficult to break through the second-level witch formation from the outside, so the Moss family would naturally not choose to attack by force.

But if you start from the inside, it's different.

The seven dead sorcerer apprentices had hidden tricks inside their bodies, which would only be triggered after death.

After these seven people die, the magic runes hidden in their bodies will be connected in series to form a temporary teleportation witch formation.

However, this witch formation is not very stable and can only teleport two people in at most.

After Brak left, they had a crystallization wizard and a liquefaction wizard. After entering the Black Rock Valley, they felt like they were in an uninhabited land.

The red crystal in the old man's hand was obtained from the Land of Dawn and can seize control of the witch formation.

But it must be inside the witch formation, and it takes a lot of time, about three hours.

Even if the Church family members got the news and rushed over, they would not be able to reach the Black Rock Valley in three hours.

When the time comes, the Moss family controls the witch formation, and the Black Rock Valley will belong to the Moss family.

At the same time, the Moss family also dispatched troops from several other places, with the purpose of severely inflicting heavy losses on the Church family and knocking them off the chain of control of the potion.

There are too many interests involved, and the Moss family has been planning for a long time.

This time, it would be the final word, and the Church family would not be given much time to react.

The most important part of the entire plan is the Black Rock Valley.

This is the largest and most important potion garden base of the Church family. If they cannot control this place, the Church family can make a comeback even if their vitality is severely damaged.
