Chapter 128 An unexpected encounter with an acquaintance from the City of Apprentices
Jack ran wildly through the mountains, too afraid to stop.
"what!"
Suddenly Jack screamed and tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
He crawled frantically on the ground.
"Help! Help!"
Jack crawled on the ground, using both his hands and feet, as if some kind of ferocious beast was chasing him.
Unfortunately, behind him was something even more terrifying than a ferocious beast.
Jack had only crawled two meters away when a crimson beam of light shot straight through his body from behind.
"Ugh!" Jack stretched out his left hand, his face full of resentment, and then his body fell limply into the dead leaves.
In the distance, Dorothy was half-squatting on the ground, her left hand resting on her knee, and her right hand holding Cinderella, which she rested on her left arm.
Seeing the mercenary lying on the ground in the distance, she lowered her aim.
Standing next to Dorothy, Anna saw Dorothy stand up and asked, "Is everything resolved?"
Dorothy nodded slightly.
Anna was somewhat surprised by Dorothy's answer.
"Your control over magic is becoming more and more exquisite."
It's no wonder Anna was surprised.
Dorothy killed the bandits by compressing a fireball spell into a fireball ray.
According to Dorothy, she did that to ensure the power of the fire without starting a wildfire.
Although Anna found it strange that Dorothy was paying attention to the so-called wildfire, she did witness a spectacular battle.
Perhaps Anna didn't want to cause trouble for the nobles here; that was all she could think of.
Sure enough, Dorothy sometimes behaved very strangely.
After confirming that all the mercenaries had been eliminated, Dorothy turned to look at Anna.
"Alright, let's continue our mission: tracking the monsters."
Anna nodded slightly and began to observe her surroundings.
There were still footprints left by the monster on the ground, and similarly, there were friction marks on the tree trunks as the monster passed by.
Based on these traces, Anna could easily determine which direction the monster was moving in.
"Over there." Anna pointed to the left of the two of them, and then led the way.
Moving through the forest, Anna felt as if she were back home.
Dorothy followed behind them, turning left and right. The traces of the monster became clearer and clearer, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to the monster.
Suddenly, Anna stopped and gestured for Dorothy to stop as well.
"What's wrong?" Dorothy asked softly, as she extended her magical perception.
Anna frowned slightly.
There are people ahead.
Dorothy sensed it when Anna said those words.
There are two clusters of magic ahead.
And they are very familiar with it.
Dorothy paused for a moment after sensing the two orbs of magic.
Then she whispered, "Let's go check on the people we know."
Dorothy then led the way forward.
Anna didn't hesitate and immediately followed.
Crackling sound.
The firewood crackled and popped in the fire.
Kane carefully flipped the grilled fish in his hands.
Kosol sat opposite him with his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
Suddenly, Kosol opened his eyes and looked at the bushes beside him.
Kane realized something and quickly picked up the magic wand that was beside him with his left hand.
Susu!
As the leaves rustled and the bushes parted, Dorothy emerged first.
"Hey, Mr. Kothor, Kane, it's been a long time."
-
Dorothy took the initiative to greet them.
Thor frowned slightly; he didn't have much of an impression of Dorothy.
Kane looked surprised; he hadn't expected to run into Dorothy here.
Seeing the puzzled look on his teacher's face, Kane took the initiative to remind him, "Teacher, this is Dorothy, a magic apprentice from the City of Apprentices."
Thor nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Then he closed his eyes again, clearly not caring about Dorothy.
But he immediately opened his eyes and stared intently at Anna, who was standing behind Dorothy.
He hadn't even noticed Anna just now.
His eyes were fixed on Anna, who was wearing a cloak, and he asked warily, "Who is she? Is she also from the City of Apprentices?"
Dorothy waved her hand and laughed, "No, she's my friend. We just happened to take on a mercenary mission, so we came here."
As she was saying this, Dorothy saw a giant deer-shaped monster floating in the river.
Anna then took off her hood and walked over to Dorothy, whispering, "That monster seems to be our mission target."
Dorothy blinked, secretly marveling at the coincidence.
When Thor saw Anna take off her hood, his eyes widened slightly.
"Dark Elf————"
Kane also looked surprised; they were all clearly taken aback that the dark elves would appear in such a place, and even more so, that they would be by Dorothy's side.
Dorothy glanced at Kane, who was grilling fish, and said somewhat apologetically, "Excuse me, gentlemen, that magical beast lying in the river seems to be my mission target. Could you give it to me?"

"By the way, I can pay with money, or you can exchange it for goods."
Dorothy offered to make the deal.
Thor said calmly, "It doesn't matter, you can take it."
After saying that, Kosol closed his eyes again.
"Thank you so much!" Dorothy smiled happily when she heard Corsol agree to the deal so readily.
She walked to the riverbank and looked at the monster in the water.
"It's a giant deer."
This type of monster does indeed live in the mountains.
Dorothy noticed that the monster had been killed by a single magical attack; there was a wound the size of a bowl right next to its heart.
Feeling the faint magical energy still lingering at the wound, it was the blood magic that Kothor was good at.
Dorothy reached out and touched the Great Deer, then put it into her storage space.
Then she turned around and continued to thank Kosol.
"Thank you, Professor Kosor. We won't bother you any longer."
After saying that, Dorothy left with Aina.
After the two of them left, Thor slowly opened his eyes.
"Teacher—" Kane began hesitantly.
Kosol waved his hand.
"Don't drag innocent people into this."
Kane nodded silently.
Seeing his disciple's dejected look, Thor coughed lightly.
"Cough cough————"
Upon hearing the cough, Kane immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Teacher, your injury—"
"It's alright. Bringing you back from the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance with only minor injuries is a bargain."
"Don't be so foolish next time; those people are completely untrustworthy."
Although it was criticism, Kosor's tone was very gentle.
He was completely different from how he was in the City of Apprentices.
Thor was very patient with his disciple.
Kane simply lowered his head and listened silently to his teacher's teachings.
"Yes, I understand."
Thor nodded and said, "Good to know. Tomorrow we will reach the territory of the Kingdom of Radiance. The people of the Blackrock Barbarian Alliance will not cross the border."
Kane nodded.
Thor continued, "But we can't relax now more than ever, because their men might catch up."
Thor felt a headache coming on when he thought about the pursuers behind him.
If he were in his prime, he would have no fear of his opponent.
But now that he was injured, he could only flee with his disciples.
