"That kid is chasing us again." Wei Lian gritted his teeth and said. He was the "character deficient". As a Magus of the Black Tower, he would often have to bear much more pressure when learning to become a Magus than ordinary people could. Therefore, the Magi in the movies with weak statuses were just a misunderstanding. In order to learn ancient spells, true Magi all had robust bodies. However, just their outstanding physiques were still far from enough. They had to be strong enough in terms of spirit, in order to withstand the ravages they would suffer when learning spells.

However, no matter how strong one's mental strength was, there would sometimes be times when they were unable to withstand the pressure and collapsed. Most of the time, he would look like an ordinary person, or even more talkative and humorous. But once he entered a different state, the flaws in his personality would show themselves, he would become irritable, manic, cruel, and countless of negative emotions would flood into his mind, causing his mind to become confused.

Once someone became a "character deficient," it would mean that the person's practice of witchcraft had stopped here. Although the black tower allowed character deficient to continue to use magic as a wizard, it did not allow her to learn new spells.

Wei Lian was recognized as the character deficient when he was twenty-six, and was now thirty-one. In these five years, Wei Lian became more and more agitated because he was unable to continue exploring the secrets of magic, and after committing several mistakes, he was almost kicked out of the black tower.

"Andrea, that brat is still chasing us." Wei Lian said again, "I think he wants to find trouble with us."

The person called Andrea said impatiently, "Then shake him off. No mortal can catch up to the black tower's Magi." They had business to attend to and could not afford to waste precious time on a mortal.

The two of them quickened their pace — "Blank Stamp".

Aerial step was one of the black tower's basic spells. To most people, their footsteps did not seem to have changed much, but their actual speed would have been much faster. It was said that Magi who practiced this spell to the pinnacle would be able to soar through the air, but no one had seen that kind of realm before.

The two of them sped up abruptly, and Zhou Heng had no choice but to speed up his own pace.

"He's still following us." Wei Lian's tone was mixed with anger and surprise.

"Mortals who run fast also exist," Andrea was not surprised at all, "If we run a little faster, he won't be able to catch up very soon."

However, Zhou Heng followed behind them. He thought in his heart: These two fellows are pretty fast, could it be that these two Foreigners s are athletes?

As the three of them walked along the street, the number of pedestrians gradually lessened.

"You can't get rid of him with your method." Wei Lian's face revealed a mocking smile, "Let me do it!"

"Don't be rash." Andrea frowned, "This person can keep up with our speed, moreover, he's not tired at all, so he's definitely not an ordinary person."

"So what?" Wei Lian said proudly, "We are Magi!"

Magicians were terms that appeared in all kinds of movies and video games. Humans both worshipped and feared Magi who were rumored to be able to use magic. Six hundred years ago, Europe had even launched a large-scale hunting campaign against witches. However, the hunt did not cause the Magi to disappear from this world. Instead, it gave birth to the 'black tower', a Magus organisation.

Andrea also nodded, he agreed with Wei Lian's point of view. Magi and mortals were creatures from two different planes of existence. From his point of view, even the most powerful of mortals could not defeat the weakest of Magi.

"We will go into the Magus King's barrier," Andrea said. "He will naturally give up following us."

"This is the will of the Magus King." Andrea said in a respectful and pious tone, "You cannot disobey."

"Of course." Wei Lian replied in a low voice.

Before arriving at the Land of China, the Magus King had warned the magicians on this trip that they could not cause trouble outside unless it was absolutely necessary. Although they did not understand why they had to keep a low profile in front of mortals, since this was one of the highest leaders of the Black Tower, the order of the Magus King, everyone could not help but follow it.

As the two walked on, the number of pedestrians and vehicles nearby lessened.

Although he had not entered the isolation barrier set up by the Magus King, the energy emitted by the barrier had already interfered with the lives of the nearby residents. Just as humans instinctively fear worms and germs, so do humans naturally avoid magical energies. It was this instinctive rejection that made it so that the number of humans who had access to magic were very few, and Magi organisations were not able to grow too much.

But Zhou Heng was completely unaware of this.

The energy of a spell was different from Yin or Baleful Qi; it did not have a specific form. The yin aura looked like a black fog, while the baleful aura looked like a moving black liquid. In comparison, the energy from spells was colorless and tasteless, more like a pure energy body such as' temperature 'that couldn't be observed with the naked eye.

The Heavenly Master System would not inform the police because of the presence of the energy in the vicinity, and Zhou Heng's Yin Yang Eyes would not take the initiative to detect the energy in the vicinity. As a result, even though Zhou Heng was getting closer and closer to the barrier, he did not feel anything abnormal.

However, Andrea and Wei Lian could no longer sit still.

If Zhou Heng was here to follow him, then his tracking method was too carefree. It seemed like he did not have any intention of concealing his identity. But if Zhou Heng was just an ordinary person they had coincidentally met, then this ordinary person was too strange. Not only could he keep up with their footsteps, the energy released by the barrier could not affect him at all. This was just too rare.

"Once you enter the barrier, do him." Andrea whispered to Wei Lian. If they could lure Zhou Heng deeper into the barrier, it would be troublesome. Although they were not worried about Zhou Heng not being able to cause a huge ruckus in the barrier, if the words of a mere mortal was not spread out by two Magi, it would be hard to listen to.

The two of them arrived at a factory. There was no sign of anyone around, not even a passing car. It was impossible to imagine that this was a corner of the city.

Zhou Heng also felt that it was strange. After all, he was not far away and had previously been harassed by delinquents. However, this place looked like a deserted city at the end of the world, without any signs of life.

The two foreign men walked into the factory without stopping at all.

Zhou Heng hesitated for a moment, before following his.

Suddenly, he felt a wave of disgust.

It was as if they had passed through an invisible aqueous membrane. In the process, a strong feeling of disgust surged into Zhou Heng's heart.

But after passing through that formless barrier, that loathsome feeling calmed down.

This short period of discomfort caused Zhou Heng to be unable to stop himself from gasping for breath.

The two foreign men in front of him also stepped forward.
