Chapter 188: Departure from the Magic Continent
“Can we, can we follow your carriage to leave?”
Chao Hai looked at Sang Chu, who had returned from the sea, his eyes full of excitement. He had seen the Demon King before and now he just wanted to go home quickly, not to see those roses!
Sang Chu: “Aren’t you going to Feng Xin City?”
Tian Meng: “Why go? We’re not idiots. There must be something shady going on here. It’s better to go home and tell my parents that I saw the Demon King Lord!”
Chao Hai blinked his eyes, looking at Tian Meng with a confused expression: “What’s shady? How come I don’t know?”
Luo Cheng glanced at Tian Meng, and the two tacitly chose to change the subject: “He was just talking big and misspoke. By the way, Wizard Lord, when can we set off?”
It would naturally be better to travel by carriage if there was one available. Anyway, if they were returning to Rose City, they would have to pass through Bai City.
Huang Jun looked at Sang Chu’s silent demeanor and nervously got off the carriage: “Your Excellency the Wizard, I…”
“The monsters have disappeared, and this Cold Attack is problematic. You can blame him for the disappearance of the monsters. Someone should come to question you about this in a few days. I need to tamper with your memory.”
Huang Jun nodded repeatedly. Xue You, hidden in Sang Chu’s Jade Bracelet Space, controlled her hand and cast magic on Huang Jun. A blue light flashed, and he instantly fell to the ground.
The same thing happened to the three of Chao Hai, but Sang Chu acted directly on them without asking.
“Brother, Brother Yi, Min Feng, please help carry these three down. We’ll take them back to the inn and then prepare to set off.”
“Okay.”
Sang Chu bent down and directly carried Huang Jun. Sang Jing Wen and the other two carried the three young boys towards the inn.
At this moment, Sai Yue and Qing Xiao sent a message: 【 Master, you guessed correctly. Wu Qi is dead, and the entire Witch Hospital has been razed to the ground. It’s just strange that the City Lord of Feng Xin City appeared in Flower Town and personally announced Wu Qi’s crimes. 】
Sang Chu: 【 It’s not strange. The City Lord of Feng Xin City is your boss, the Alliance Leader of the Black Wizard Alliance. Haven’t you met him? 】
Hearing Sang Chu’s words, Sai Yue and Qing Xiao were shocked. How could they not know that the City Lord of Feng Xin City was the Alliance Leader?
【 Master, is the information reliable? 】
Sang Chu: 【 Whether it is or not, you’ll know if you go there. Hellhounds can smell the scent of Black Wizards and ordinary Wizards. Once a person is dead, their scent naturally cannot be hidden. 】
Sai Yue understood Sang Chu’s meaning. However, going to Flower Town would probably delay them for a few days. But if the City Lord of Feng Xin City was the BOSS, then they wouldn’t need to return to the Wizard Alliance, which would be a good thing for them.
Qing Xiao: 【 Master, shall we go to Flower Town then? 】
Sang Chu: 【 Yes, it’s not convenient for us to stay in the fishing village any longer. We’ll rush tonight. The next stop should be Mo You City. After you’ve handled things, come find us. 】
【 Understood, Master. 】
After placing Huang Jun and the other three in the inn, Sang Chu and her group immediately turned and drove the carriage away from Bay Fishing Village.
Mu Xue sat in the carriage, leaning on Sang Chu’s shoulder and yawning, “Sang Sang, is it okay for them to stay behind?”
“It’ll be fine, don’t worry. Do you want to go to your room to sleep? We’ll probably have to spend the whole journey in the wilderness.”
“Mhm, then I’m going. Goodnight, everyone.”
As Mu Xue got up, Sang Chu suddenly said, “Xiao Xue, can you still sense any danger from Sai Yue and the others?”
“Ah?”
Mu Xue tilted her head and closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened them and said, “It seems like that feeling of worry in my heart has disappeared?”
Her tone was hesitant, as if she wasn’t quite sure. Sang Chu said, “That’s good. Go to sleep.”
“Then, then I’m going?”
“Mhm.”
Drowsy Mu Xue sleepily walked back to her room. Seeing her close the door, Sang Jing Wen looked at Sang Chu and asked, “Sang Sang, what did you discover?”
“The thing that was following Sai Yue and the others, which Xiao Xue described as something like the god of death, is a summoned familiar of a Black Wizard. The higher the magic level, the more of them there are. If they can’t be subdued, they will kill the Wizards they are following when the opportunity arises.
In other words, if the City Lord of Feng Xin City is the Alliance Leader of the Black Wizard Alliance, and he is now in Flower Town, then Sai Yue and the other two, along with the Hellhounds, have an overwhelming advantage. But if not, and they go to the Black Wizard Alliance to kill someone, they are very likely to be killed by the summoned familiars. I asked Mu Xue just now to confirm whether Sai Yue and the other two would be in danger.”
The Hellhounds could track her aura back, but if Sai Yue and the other two were seriously injured or their bodies were taken over by the summoned familiars, it would be useless.
However, Sang Chu did not say this directly.
Sang Jing Wen: “Is this why you tested Shi Feng? What if he was just going with the flow?”
“It doesn’t matter. If not, it’s just a slight detour. Everyone has been busy all night. If you’re tired, go to bed early.”
Xiao Yi Fei yawned and pulled Sang Jing Wen up: “I wanted to say this as soon as Xiao Xue’er went to sleep. I’m so sleepy, let’s go, let’s go back to sleep!”
Lu Min Feng: “Then I’ll go back too.”
“Mhm, goodnight, everyone.”
Watching them all leave, Xi Rui sat down next to Sang Chu: “Master, who told you about the summoned familiar?”
“Someone trustworthy. Don’t worry, you should go to sleep too.”
“No rush. What about that Shi Feng?”
Looking at the four Black Gold Cards left in her hand, Sang Chu was conflicted. To contract a Level Five or higher Wizard, special colored cards were needed.
There were three types of special cards: white, purple, and black gold, with black gold being the highest level.
To contract Shi Feng, at least a white card would be needed, but white cards were extremely rare, and even if someone had one, they might not sell it.
This was also what Xue You had told her. If Xue You hadn’t said anything, she wouldn’t have known about the intricacies of these cards.
Seeing the cards in Sang Chu’s hand, Xi Rui was stunned. She had only heard of Black Gold Cards, never seen one, but Sang Chu had four of them!
Looking at the stunned Xi Rui, Sang Chu asked, “Xi Rui, what do you think about me using a Black Gold Card to contract Shi Feng?”
“No, Master, absolutely not. That would be too wasteful!”
“I know, but if we had a Level Five Wizard accompanying us on this journey, the Hellhounds wouldn’t have to be exposed and could be kept as a hidden trump card. But white cards are hard to come by…”
Xi Rui looked at Sang Chu in surprise: “Master, who told you that white cards are hard to come by?”
“Uh? Aren’t they?”
“White cards are not difficult to obtain. They are sold in any Level 2 city. Purple cards are also sold, though in slightly smaller quantities. However, the Black Gold Cards you have are likely only possessed by the Royalty of Rose City.”
