Chapter 79 There are still masters
The time goes back to the second half of the night.
The black car parked in front of a villa. The man in charge of keeping watch entered the villa and met his teacher Joey Dobbin.
"Why are you the only one back? Where are they?"
"They sneaked in for a long time and didn't come back. The address is... I'm afraid things may change, so I'll come back and report to you first."
"You're not being followed, are you?"
"No, I walked around several blocks and made sure there was no one behind me and no owl was following me."
"That's good. You go out of the city to hide for a few days. Don't contact me without my instructions."
The black car left and drove directly outside Lundan.
Joey waited at home for several hours, until it turned bright and confirmed that his three students would not come back, and then he picked up the phone and called.
"Teacher, the plan failed. He was not caught."
"Why did it fail? How did you do it?"
On the other side of the phone, Sidney scolded: "How many times have I told you, don't underestimate the opponent just because he is an apprentice. Magicians are not invincible. Guns and bullets can kill us at any time."
"Teacher, you misunderstood. I did not underestimate the enemy. On the contrary, I sent four of the best students..."
Seeing that Sidney was angry, Joey hurriedly explained: "Of the four students, only one who went out for a walk came back, and there was no news about the other three all night. The target was just a magician apprentice. He has no ability to resist. I suspect someone is there." Help him."
"Tell me, where did your student disappear?"
"The address is No. 13, Manor Street, West District."
"The people living there are not ordinary people. Why didn't you tell me before taking action?" Sidney said displeased.
"Teacher, I just found out..."
"That's enough. You can hide out of the city for a few days. Don't contact me without my instructions."
"I'm very sorry to disappoint you."
Joey waited respectfully for Sidney to hang up the phone first, then packed his luggage, took a few changes of clothes, and prepared to go back to his hometown in the country to hide out for a few days.
The car drove out of Lundam City and was stopped by two police cars. Joey was not sure why, so the police gave him a pair of silver bracelets.
"Damn it, do you know who I am? How dare you do this!"
Joey was furious. After all, he was also a silver mage, so he really thought he could do whatever he wanted.
"Joy Dobbin, we know that you are a disciple of the Church of Nature, and we also know that you are a magician. You have the right to remain silent. Believe me, if you dare to resist, the next batch of captors will not be as easy to talk to as us."
Joey was silent. Obviously, the police officer who arrested him was not an ordinary person.
He didn't know what happened, and even suspected that Sidney had betrayed him. In order to protect himself, the teacher threw him out as a scapegoat.
————
"waste!"
On the other side, Sidney hung up the phone and sentenced his students to a career death sentence.
If you can't handle even the smallest things well, how can you serve him in the future? You don't need such an incompetent student.
What's terrible is that Joey is already one of his most reliable students, and the rest are even worse and even worse.
Sidney didn't know yet that his student had been targeted, so he called an old friend and looked up the address of '13 Manor Street, West End', hoping to find out where the owner's family came from.
It didn't turn out well that the big house belonged to the Landau family.
Bang!
Sidney slapped the table and stood up with a gloomy and terrifying expression. The Landau family is one of the fourteen tulip families in the Kingdom of Windsor, and is also one of the knight swords that the royal family relies on most.
Others didn't know it, but he knew that fourteen Tulip families had established a famous organization in Windsor - the Free Mage Alliance.
The Free Mage Alliance also affects the entire magical world of Windsor. It seems to be low-key, and any church can step on it, but in fact it is not leaking, and what is floating on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg.
His people broke into the Landau family and robbed people, and the consequences can be imagined.
Auston Landau: Your Majesty the Queen, Sidney dares to rush into my house today to rob someone, and tomorrow he dares to rush into the palace to rob you. His intentions are so serious that he would rather kill him than let him go!
What is scary is not only the Landau family, but also the mistress of the Landau family, Heifei Landau, the current high priest of the Windsor division.
Sidney knew that he was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by Heifei, who wanted to uproot his power in Lundan, but he gave up temporarily because of his limited strength.
He has been reclusive these days so as not to give the other party any clues.
He never expected that just by arresting a magician's apprentice, he would actually hand over the handle to the other party.
Who is this magician apprentice? Why is he so wild? Is his name Wayne Landau?
Sidney was furious. He had been holding back for many days and failed. He traced the source to the Lord of the Void's fault. If it hadn't been for the last time, how could he have fallen into such a passive situation.
Sidney quickly came to the study, pushed open the secret door and entered the black void. His thoughts and will impacted, and he slammed into the golden statue.
Wake up, old guy, don't fucking sleep.
A ray of thought and will drifted from the golden statue, and the voice of the Lord of the Void came out: "Sidney, my beloved disciple, have you brought this person?"
"Who is it, that magician apprentice named Wayne!!"
Sidney gritted his teeth and said: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me? He is an ordinary person, but there is someone behind him. I may be targeted because of this matter."
"Who can make a golden mage lose his temper like this? My student, you underestimate yourself."
The Lord of the Void didn't take it seriously: "You have been bound by false power and honor. Only when you break free of these shackles can you see your complete self. This may be an opportunity to advance you to the path of legend..."
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense in front of me, you are already crazy, I am not."
Sidney said angrily: "I can't help you, you go find someone else, and don't come to me again in the future."
"Hahaha, my student, it seems that you are really angry. Tell me, who is behind Wayne, and what kind of protection has he found?"
"Tulip family!"
"tulip……"
The Lord of the Void murmured to himself, thought about it for a long time, and then said: "It's such a familiar title, I seem to have heard it somewhere."
Sidney was almost furious. He knew that this old madman was unreliable. The legendary mage who became famous in Windsor had forgotten the Tulip family. Why couldn't he forget his student!
What is it that you should never forget? Why don’t you change it?
"Forget it, a name that cannot stay in my memory must not be worth remembering."
The Lord of the Void changed the topic and said coldly: "Sidney, bring Wayne to see me immediately. Now, I don't want to wait any longer."
"Marshall, is this your attitude when asking for help?!" Sidney also said in a cold tone.
"This is an order!"
The statue of the god bloomed with light, projecting the will of the Lord of the Void to come.
A little bit of white flesh foam was born out of thin air, connected with dots and connected with lines, and the dark void became a breeding ground for white foam. Tentacles and veins roamed everywhere, the white translucent skin secreted mucus, and the interior was crisscrossed with veins that flowed like blood vessels. Every piece of disgusting rotten flesh was filled with abnormally evil vitality.
The dark void was filled with white flesh foam, surrounding Sidney from all sides, blocking the exit in a very short period of time, blocking Sidney's escape route.
Sidney had a fierce look in his eyes, but no movement could be seen from him. The golden triangle pattern spread out under his feet, and the life barrier rose from the ground to block the incoming foam tentacles and protect his mind from being corroded.
"Sidney, my best student..." The sharp teeth will flash with cold light and make a squeaking sound when they rub against the life barrier.
Dozens of voices sounded in succession, and the biting and cold wind from the far north whistled across the border, tugging at Sidney's thinking and disrupting his sanity.
Sidney's eyes were filled with darkness and his face was extremely ugly. If the truth came from the void, he could barely block it with the life barrier. As long as he did not step into the door of truth, the Lord of the Void would never be able to shake his thinking and belief.
Sidney used to think so, but now he discovered that the Lord of the Void had already done something to him, maybe before going crazy, or maybe during those few transactions.
All in all, his mind is controlled by the Lord of the Void. The other party can drag his mind into the void universe at any time, and can also make his mind freeze and wither.
"Damn, what have you done to me?"
"Guide you to learn the true magic of life, my student. This is what a teacher should do."
The mouth of the abyss was sometimes closed and sometimes opened, and continuous noises penetrated into Sidney's ears, making him feel despair and shed tears of regret.
If he was given another chance, he would do anything to deal with the old madman.
"Look at your tears of joy, my student, hurry up and bring Wayne to me, otherwise..."
Sidney had an hallucination before his eyes. A white tentacle penetrated through the barrier of life, brushed his face and raised tears: "You love vanity, you long for earthly power, and you don't want to lose all this, right?"
At the end of the words, the dark world in front of Sidney opened a big white mouth, with teeth as white as mountains, exuding a suffocating stench, and swallowed him in one mouthful.
!
Sidney woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and found that he was standing in the black void.
There is no terrifying white flesh foam, no life barrier that is constantly being chewed, nothing, even the golden statue has disappeared.
"A hallucination?"
Looking at the empty black void, Sidney felt chills all over his body. He quickly returned to the study and personally erased the secret room built by thinking.
The Lord of the Void seemed to have left, but Sidney could still hear the other party's whisper in his ears, go find Wayne, and dedicate the other party to the teacher immediately and now.
Sidney shook his head to dispel the sound. He picked up the mirror on the desk and showed a bloodless face.
Deep in the pupils, something seemed to be squirming and about to come out of the eyes.
Sidney threw away the mirror, cold sweat soaked his whole body, stood up and went to the lunatic asylum for psychological counseling.
The moment he stood up, he froze in place. Now and then, with the dean's brutal treatment methods, the Lord of the Void may be fine, but he will definitely be put to death.
"You can't go to the lunatic asylum, you can't let others know..."
Sidney screamed and opened the drawer, rummaging frantically until he put a pair of sunglasses on his face and calmed down.
He tremblingly opened the cap of the red wine bottle and took a big sip. The red wine flowed down his beard, and he made a hoarse voice like a curse: "Wayne, don't blame me, I still have a long way to go, and the church needs me. You are different, You are being targeted by the old madman, and even if I are not there, there will be other magicians looking for you..."
————
Time comes to night.
Xifei left the big house at noon. Her physique was incredibly strong. She couldn't sleep for several days and nights. She fell asleep for four hours and returned to the office full of energy to work hard.
After waking up, Heaphy showed Wayne how to eat as much as Isabella. The difference was that Heaphy didn't get fat no matter how much she ate.
Wayne finally understood why he could only sleep in the basement while others could sit in the office.
Also, I don’t blame the teacher’s husband for being incompetent. When faced with such a physical monster, no matter how beautiful each other’s vows are, they won’t last long.
Before leaving, Heaphy assured Wayne that she had placed a barrier around the house and no one would disturb Wayne again tonight.
If so, she asked Wayne to immediately get into the sewer and run as far as he could.
Seeing the way Xifei left angrily, Wayne could have guessed what happened to Joey Dobbin. Are you stupid? I have long legs to hug you. You kid dares to catch the student of your immediate boss. I have good juice for you today. eat.
Wayne didn't understand why he offended Joey. It was the first time he heard this name. After thinking about it, he could only think that Heaphy's side was exposed, and the political struggle within the Natural Church implicated him.
The specific situation had to wait for the teacher's investigation results. Wayne was very happy, lying in the air-raid shelter and watching the fellow villagers with tears in their eyes.
Around early in the morning, Wayne suddenly noticed something strange. His supernatural senses warned him wildly that a dangerous source was approaching at a rapid speed.
It's close to the basement door.
Thinking of Xifei's warning, Wayne complained endlessly. It turned out that it was also popular in the magic world to beat the young ones before the old ones. He threw down the book and went straight to the sewer.
This time he didn't wait, he plunged into the sewer and ran for seven or eight kilometers without looking back. The supernatural sensor's warning was intermittently, every time he stopped, the warning would sound, and every time he started running, the warning sound would stop.
After another ten kilometers, Wayne couldn't stand it anymore. Even if he got lost, he couldn't get rid of his pursuer, which made it clear that the other party knew his whereabouts.
No more running.
Open up!
I can’t run away, so I have to draw my sword!
“Aren’t you going to run away?”
The sound of footsteps came from the corner of the sewer. Sidney looked at Wayne and said calmly: "I have to say that you have been able to escape capture many times, which is indeed a good performance. At least your intuition is very accurate. Unfortunately, you are too weak. Yes, this is the biggest mistake you have made.”
"Who are you?"
Wayne doesn't talk nonsense. He wears sunglasses in the sewer at night, and he looks like a villain at first sight.
Taking advantage of the gap in conversation, more than ten meters apart, he raised his hand and shot.
Bang!
The bullet hit Sidney's chest... in front, and was blocked by the flickering life barrier. He raised his hand to catch the hot bullet: "It doesn't matter who I am, the key is to find you. He calls himself The Lord of the Void, entrust me to take you to meet him."
Wayne's heart skipped a beat as the captain of the transportation team came to the door.
"The gun in your hand is useless to me. Just give up your resistance and don't make things difficult for me."
"..."
Wayne didn't say anything. Yes, the gun in his hand might not be able to do anything to the opponent, but the same could not be said for the sword under his crotch.
Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to turn into a Death Knight on the spot.
At this moment, a regretful voice came from behind him.
"Sidney, you have made it this far after all."
There are experts too!
Wayne turned around and saw that the person who came was a slovenly old man with a white beard, a sloppy appearance and a greasy look.
Especially the white beard is covered with pulp.
