Chapter 240 Witch Hunting Corps

Luoxia City, Buyi Tavern.

As the leading tavern in Luoxia City, Buyi Tavern was already crowded before it got dark.

When passing the closed door, you can still hear noisy shouts and laughter coming from inside.

Joseph had just finished serving the guests and turned around to clean up another messy table when he suddenly heard the bell ringing from the door opening.

"Welcome!"

Joseph shouted subconsciously, but turned around and was slightly stunned.

Because the visitor was not only wearing a loose gray robe that covered his whole body tightly, but also wearing a mask that covered most of his face, leaving only his chin exposed, and his skin color seemed a little gray under the light.

"Isn't it a wizard?"

This thought immediately came to Joseph's mind, but he denied it immediately.

Although wizards often come and go in Luoxia City, and it is said that there are more than a dozen wizards stationed in the lord's mansion all year round, those high-ranking bigwigs will not come to such a noisy place.

"It is probably a guy who worships wizards and imitates their dress."

Working in a tavern, Joseph has seen many people of all kinds, so he was not surprised. He stepped forward and greeted them attentively:

"Guests, please sit inside. Our fine beer is a specialty of Luoxia City. It is brewed with the best fine wheat, with a delicate taste and excellent taste. Would you like a glass?"

The gray-robed man came to a newly vacated table in the corner of the tavern under Joseph's guidance and sat down. With a flick of his finger, a silver coin fell to Joseph with a crisp sound.

"A glass of fine beer and a lamb steak."

"Okay, please wait!"

Joseph quickly caught the silver coin and retreated with a smile on his face.

Not long after, a cup of yellow fine beer and a lamb steak with a fragrant aroma were served.

"Please enjoy your meal."

Joseph was about to leave when he was stopped by the gray-robed man.

"Wait a minute, I want to ask you something."

Joseph turned around and saw a golden light falling towards him. He subconsciously reached out to catch it and his eyes widened immediately.

A gold coin!

Joseph swallowed his saliva, then clenched his palms, with a brilliant smile on his face, and nodded and said:

"Guests, please feel free to ask, I will answer what I know!"

The gray-robed man said: "I heard that there are many wizard apprentices in Luoxia City?"

"Yes, there are more than ten permanent residents in the lord's mansion, and there are also those who come and go on weekdays. If you are lucky, you can occasionally see those adults riding black rock leopards passing by the street."

"Black rock leopard?"

"A kind of puppet, I heard that it was made by wizards, and there are many black rock leopards in the army."

The gray-robed man nodded and changed the question.

"I heard that there are wizards in the Star Alliance. Is it true?"

"This."

Joseph scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"It is true that there are rumors outside, but guest, to be honest, ordinary people like us can't tell the difference between wizards and wizard apprentices. In our eyes, they are all big shots, and we usually call them wizards. So I really can't answer your question."

The gray-robed man didn't say anything after hearing this, but just nodded.

At this moment, the door of the tavern suddenly opened with a clang, and a group of burly men walked in, shouting loudly as soon as they entered the door.

"Boss, the old rules, serve the food and drinks!"

The voice was so loud that it suppressed the noise in the tavern for a while.

Several people near the door looked back with dissatisfaction, but when they saw who was coming, their faces changed slightly, and they immediately turned back, pretending that nothing had happened.

The other guests also showed awe in their eyes when they saw these people.

The tavern owner ran out from the kitchen and greeted them with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome, Mr. McCarthy. I heard this morning that your business caravan had come to Luoxia City, and I have been looking forward to your business. Please come this way!"

Seeing this scene, the gray-robed man asked Joseph, "Who are those people?"

"They are the guards of the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce." Joseph showed an expression of envy and yearning on his face.

"Is the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce famous?" the gray-robed man asked.

As soon as these words came out, Joseph looked at the gray-robed man with a strange look, as if he was saying, 'You don't even know the Fire Fox Chamber of Commerce', as if this was something incredible.

Although he was confused, Joseph patiently explained: "The Fox Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the empire, with shops and caravans throughout the empire. It is also the largest among the imperial merchants appointed by the empire."

"I heard that when the Fox Chamber of Commerce was just a small chamber of commerce, it met the founding emperor of the empire, His Majesty Keyi, and became friends. Since then, it has developed rapidly and has become the leading chamber of commerce in the empire today."

"More than half of the magic energy machines in Luoxia City are sold by the Fox Chamber of Commerce."

"Magic energy machine?" The gray-robed man's tone, which was flat just now, suddenly had a hint of curiosity, "What is that?"

Joseph's expression became more and more strange.

It's okay if he hasn't heard of the Fox Chamber of Commerce, but how come he doesn't even know about the magic energy machine?

You know, even villages in the countryside are using magic energy machines now. Could this person just come out of some remote mountain area?

Joseph secretly complained, but for the sake of the gold coins, he still explained:

"A magic energy machine is a machine that can provide powerful power as long as secondary magic stones are put in it. Magic energy carriages, magic energy airships, and army cannons are all made of magic energy machines."

"According to those nobles, this seems to be called sub-magic technology, and it sounds very powerful."

"So that's it." The man in gray robe thought thoughtfully.

Bang!

A wine glass suddenly hit the table hard, and the golden wine spilled out, splashing onto the sleeves of Joseph who could not dodge. There were also a few wet spots on the chest of the man in gray robe.

"Hey, boy, we brothers want this table, leave now!"

The speaker was a big man with a rugged face and a pair of triangular eyes squinting at the man in gray robe.

There were four or five men following behind, all of whom also looked jokingly, looking up and down at the gray-robed man with evil eyes.

Looking at this scene, the experienced Joseph still didn't understand. He glanced at the tavern and found that all the tables were already occupied. Only one guest was sitting on the table here, which looked a bit dazzling in the crowded tavern. .

Seeing this, Joseph couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being confused. He should have taken the guests to the counter just now. That was the area where individual customers usually sat.

It was just that at first he felt that the man in gray robe was not an ordinary person, so he arranged a special table, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing as jockeying for a seat.

In a hurry, Joseph was about to speak to calm down the atmosphere, but saw that the man in gray robe did not raise his head, did not even look at the strong man and the others, and just said something in a deep voice.

"roll!"

Joseph's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was going to happen.

But what happened next left him stunned.

The strong man and others actually listened to the man in gray robe, turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word.

Under the light, the faces of several people seemed a little dull.

It wasn't until the figures of the strong man and others disappeared at the gate that Joseph came back to his senses, swallowed, and looked at the man in gray robe with awe in his eyes.

He was not stupid. Based on the various powerful and magical abilities of wizards in the rumors, he naturally guessed that the person in front of him must have used the legendary spell just now.

This guest turns out to be a powerful wizard!

"S-Sir."

"Thank you for the information."

The man in gray robe interrupted Joseph's stammering words and picked up the ale on the table.

Joseph immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Please use it slowly. If you need anything, you can always tell me."

After saying that, he resigned and left.

The man in gray robe slowly tasted the fine wine and food. Although his movements were elegant, his eating speed was not slow. In a short time, all the food on the table was eaten.

Putting a gold coin on the table, the man in gray robe left the tavern without looking back.

It was already dark outside.

The deep night shrouded the whole city.

The silver moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight falls on the street, as if it is covered with a thin layer of gauze.

For some reason, not long after leaving the tavern, the people around him gradually became sparse, and in the end, he was the only one left on the huge street.

There was silence all around, as if he was the only one left in the world.

The man in gray robe keenly sensed something was wrong, stopped and looked around.

Following the sound of slight footsteps, two figures walked out of the shadows one after the other, blocking his front and rear respectively.

By the moonlight, the man in gray robe quickly saw the figure of the person coming.

But they were two men in gray robes, both wearing star-shaped badges on their chests.

"What's the matter with you two stopping me?" the man in gray robe asked.

The man blocking the front looked at him for a few times and said calmly: "You are a wizard apprentice, right? We are the law enforcement team of the Star Alliance. According to the Star Alliance regulations, any wizard apprentice must be registered before entering the town. Please excuse me." Come back and register with us, and explain your origins by the way.”

"Don't worry, as long as you haven't committed a crime, we won't do anything against you."

A trace of surprise and uncertainty flashed in the gray-robed man's eyes.

How did the Covenant become aware of his identity?

Obviously he didn't show any flaws from beginning to end!

Wait, is it possible that the spell was cast in the tavern just now?

Seeing that the man in gray robe remained silent, the man from the law enforcement team frowned and said in a deep voice: "Please go back with us!"

The man in gray robe remained silent.

Upon seeing this, the two members of the law enforcement team looked at each other, quickly reached a tacit understanding, and the next moment they suddenly took action at the same time.

Ma Youfu's acid arrow!

Scorch ray!

Two second-level spells attacked the gray-robed man in tandem.

Luoxia City is one of the important cities for housing secondary star cores, and its garrison strength far exceeds that of ordinary towns.

The most obvious one is the permanent presence of a law enforcement team.

The Star Alliance law enforcement team is famous throughout the Starlight Continent, especially among the wild wizard apprentices, it is even more feared.

The wild wizard apprentice who has fallen into the hands of the law enforcement team over the years is unknown.

The first requirement for joining the law enforcement team is a third-level wizard apprentice.

At this time, the two members of the law enforcement team that besieged the gray-robed man were both third-level wizard apprentices.

The two of them had teamed up to deal with many wild wizard apprentices without ever losing, and they were as confident as ever in this operation.

But the next second, in their stunned eyes, two spells hit the gray-robed man, but disappeared without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea, without any reaction.

What's going on? !

Both of them looked horrified.

Before they could react, the gray-robed man raised his hands, and two lightning bolts suddenly burst out, tearing through the night sky like sharp arrows, hitting two members of the law enforcement team respectively!

Instantly, there were a series of puffs, and the protective force field and energy particle protective layer on the two people were almost instantly broken, and the lightning swam all over their bodies like a little snake.

Plop!

The two people were instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground. It took a long time for them to recover.

But when they looked up again, they found that the gray-robed man had disappeared.

"What kind of spell was that just now?"

"It's not a spell, it's just pure energy particle manipulation!"

"How is it possible?!"

Only using energy particle manipulation to instantly knock down their two third-level wizard apprentices, only wizards can do it!

Could it be that the gray-robed man was actually a wizard?

The two immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. One of them immediately took out a book and opened it. Countless slender rays of light floated out from the pages, interweaving to form a human-shaped phantom, vaguely recognizable as a middle-aged man.

"What happened?" the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

"Captain, we didn't catch the target."

The law enforcement team member holding a book quickly told the story.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man also realized that something was wrong and immediately said: "You come back first. The target is not something our team can deal with. I will ask for support from above."

As soon as the voice fell, the shadow disappeared.

The two law enforcement team members looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a difficult target. Where did that person come from?"

"No matter where he came from, his life breath was recorded by the Eye of Stars. He can't escape the pursuit even if he runs to the ends of the earth!"

After knocking down the two law enforcement team members, the gray-robed man immediately left Luoxia City and went away from the main road into the remote mountains and forests.

"Star Alliance?"

"I didn't expect that this plane has been controlled by wizard forces, and the other side seems to be quite large. You can meet two third-level wizard apprentices in any city."

"It seems that I have to find a place to hide for a while to avoid the limelight."

The gray-robed man just thought of this and suddenly stopped.

Two tall and slender figures slowly walked out of the shadowy woods in front of them.

The moonlight fell on the two people, reflecting two delicate faces that seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and their exquisite figures that were almost indistinguishable.

"Who are you?" The gray-robed man asked in a deep voice.

Unlike the two people just now, the two beautiful women in front of him gave him a very dangerous feeling, and he no longer had the leisurely mentality before.

"Star Alliance Witch Hunting Corps." The woman on the left said.

"Surrender." The woman on the right followed closely.

The gray-robed man's eyes twitched.

What's going on?

Why can the Star Alliance lock his position so quickly and send people over?

This efficiency is too exaggerated, right? (End of this chapter)
