“Wizards that joined the hunt will surely look for you if they discover you’re not in the line-up,”
“In their eyes, besides the matter of hunting Samuelson, only guarding the Bone-mending Wand and that rule-breaking Greenshaw would hold such importance for me as their mentor. If you’re not in the hunting lineup, then you must be watching over the Bone-mending Wand and Greenshaw. That’s what the Wandering Wizards will think. If they have any bad intentions, they may stealthily track your whereabouts, plotting to steal the Bone-mending Wand.”
“Yes, Teacher, I understand. I will be extra careful and definitely not let them track me and Ray Lee.”
“I believe you can handle it.”
With a snap of her fingers, the noblewoman caused a ring to fly out from the drawer and land in Philia’s hand:
“Take this. It is a precious Magic Ring. The spell ‘Elemental Vision’ is stored in it. Once you put it on, you can use the ‘Elemental Vision’ spell three times a day, each usage lasts for one hour. No matter who took the Bone-mending Wand
from the Death Herald Guild, they will have lett some traces. With this ring, finding the Bone-mending Wand should be no problem.”
The noblewoman paused for a moment before continuing:
“I must remind you, Philia. Never touch the Bone-mending Wand. Leave its sealing to Ray Lee, only the Death Clan Wizards can withstand the Death Energy on the Bone-mending Wand. If you encounter a formidable enemy, safety should be your first priority. Don’t take risks, and come back and report the situation to me as soon as possible. I will send Demon Hunters to aid you.”
“Mmm, I noted all of that, Teacher.”
After wearing the ring, Philia asked:
“Teacher, how do you plan on capturing Samuelson? Do you want to wait until Ray Lee and I retrieve the Bone-mending Wand before taking action, or…” Philia didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear…
If the Bone-mending Wand promised to the Wandering Wizards isn’t available, it’s like they’ve given a blank cheque—a coin card that can’t be cashed or withdrawn from.
If the Wandering Wizards discovered this, the face of Elemental Judgement would be hard to maintain, even resulting in the failure of the hunt.
A trace of worry crossed the noblewoman’s face.
She sighed with a helpless smile and said:
“That’s exactly my concern. If it wasn’t for the rules restricting me from leaving Union City, I would have already flown to the Savage Stone Wasteland to search for the Bone-mending Wand…
“I’m going to take a balanced approach, Philia.”
“I’ll send a few Wandering Wizards skilled in infiltration to investigate the situation in Black City, to find out the bottom line of the Blackbone Secret Society and Samuelson. Once Samuelson’s specific location is confirmed, and you’ve obtained the Bone-mending Wand, I’ll join forces with the Demon Hunters of the Cat Society and the Wandering Wizards to catch him.”
Philia nodded repeatedly, promising she would complete the task.
The noblewoman glanced outside at the night:
“Ray Lee is still in the manor, right? Go and check on him. When he’s finished making the magic wand, you send him back with your invisible magic vehicle.
He isn’t one of us, it’s not appropriate for him to stay overnight at the manor. Philia, I know it’s hard work for you.”
“Teacher, it’s my duty.”
As the room door opened and closed again, only the noblewoman was left in the study room.
She turned her head and gazed at the southern sky, murmuring to herself:
“Sigh, I just don’t know which wizard forces will enter the Tatis Empire after the Death Herald Guild departs… The Night Spirit Cult? The Revivalists Cult? Or other wizard forces…
Union City, Sector 17, a sector controlled by multiple small Extraordinary Forces.
The two observers of the Death Herald Guild live here permanently.
Both of them have their own single cottages, which are benefits provided by the local Extraordinary Forces.
As a trade-off, they occasionally provide some magic services for these forces.
And the place where they provide these magic services is a Magic Laboratory located within a secluded building.
This is a magic laboratory filled with the scent of death.
A stitching table and operation table soaked with dried blood, a blood-colored water tank filled with preservatives, saws and hammers dripping with blood droplets and so on.
Any person coming here for the first time would be confronted by a filthy aura that directly assails their senses.
Dirty, bloody, sour, and causing nausea.
However, this kind of place often sees the presence of small extraordinary force members.
Don’t get me wrong, these members of extraordinary forces are not looking to transform themselves into walking dead.
Their goal is healing.
Death-type magic is the magic of manipulating death.
It can bring death to someone, but it can also keep death away from someone.
In the Ulnas Circle, there is a saying:
Ignore the nauseating process of casting, overlook the despicable scene of the casting, and death magic can be used to both cause and save from injury and death.
The large amount of hands-on experience amassed in the field of stitching is enough to make each Death Series Wizard a highly skilled surgeon.
That’s just one of the advantages of a Death Series wizard becoming a physician, but it’s enough to make the observer from the Death Herald Guild a famous figure locally.
“Damn, damn it! The Bone-mending Wand must be in the hands of Elemental Judgement! Hidden in the treasure vault in the manor! Elemental Judgement must have used some Magic Barrier to seal it, so we couldn’t sense the wand’s whereabouts!”
An observer from the Death Herald Guild hammered the tabletop, shaking it and making the surgical blades dance on the tray..
