Chapter 170 Failed Evacuation of One Million
Anna and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one answered.
"You don't understand, do you?"
"That's right, you don't understand it."
Banville regained his composure and said coldly, "This is the difference between a genius and an ordinary person."
"If someone can understand my spells, it means that he has mastered the same knowledge as me."
"And this person must be a genius."
"A wizard's talent is not determined by the level of his mental strength, but by his pursuit of truth, his mastery of magic, and his acquisition of knowledge."
Amidst the chaos, night fell.
The wizards' party gradually slowed their movements.
With Brock's help, many of the wizard apprentices who had narrowly escaped death at the hands of the mutated creatures survived.
Most wizarding squads lack the ability to deal with aberrant creatures.
Therefore, they decisively chose to give up and let Brock eliminate the mutated creatures in their vicinity.
However, some squads acted cautiously and did not encounter any attacks from the mutated creatures.
Although these people survived, they were forced to make a choice: whether to abandon their plans for this operation.
Leo lit a campfire and let the flesh-and-blood puppets roast meat.
Wait a moment.
Alice, Elise, and Bruce arrived one after another.
While still in mid-air, Elise broke free from Alice's hands and fell from the sky.
As Elise was about to land in mid-air, she used her magical hand to transform into a cushioned, parachute-like posture, and slowly floated to the ground.
Seeing this, Leo thought to himself.
Elise truly lives up to her reputation as a genius with a level 6 mental power talent; her mastery of the Magic Hand far surpasses the level of a normal wizard budding at the same age.
Alice landed slowly and walked over gracefully.
"Wizard Leo, I..."
"Whatever you want to say, wait a moment. I'm exhausted after a long day and want to rest first. Besides, I plan to continue hunting nobles under the cover of night."
After Leo finished speaking, Alice fell silent.
Bruce looked surprised and said, "Wizard Leo, are you going to hunt down nobles again tonight? Do you have enough physical and mental energy?"
Leo laughed and said, "It's enough, even more than enough. My situation is special. Even if I haven't slept for several days, I still have plenty of energy."
"That's an exaggeration."
Bruce exclaimed in amazement, "Let alone maintaining flight magic like you, I couldn't even last two or three days without staying up all night."
Although wizards are physically stronger than ordinary people, staying up all night for several days will still have a huge impact on their mental state and delay their studies.
In order to better explore the truth, wizards will choose to rest sufficiently to maintain their mental state.
Of course, this applies to wizarding apprentices; for professional wizards, physical strength is not an issue at all.
Alice said, "Wizard Leo, I know you are determined to succeed in this grand gathering. However, I wonder if you still remember my father's request."
Leo frowned and said, "Ms. Alice, are you considering abandoning this operation?"
"That's right," Alice said bluntly. "This operation is extremely dangerous. I participated in this grand recruitment operation not to win, but because I had to. For me, whether the outcome is success or failure, as long as I can get back alive, I'll be satisfied."
Leo paused for a moment, then looked at Elise and Bruce, asking, "What about you two? Are you also considering abandoning this operation?"
Elise said, "No, I'm going to continue this operation. Leo, if they want to give up, let them give up. We'll continue."
Alice waved her hand and said, "Elise, this time I plan to abandon the team in the name of the team, which means that we all have to evacuate immediately."
Elise's eyes widened. "Iris, what do you mean by this! You cowardly ran away, why are you dragging us down with you!"
"Couldn't you just encounter the mutant creature yourself and choose to give up?"
"That's too dangerous, I don't want to."
"Coward Alice".
Ignoring their argument, Leo looked at Bruce and asked, "Bruce, what about you? What are your thoughts?"
Bruce chuckled awkwardly and said, "It's entirely up to you, Wizard Leo. You were the main force behind this operation, and you killed all the nobles. I don't think we have the authority to make decisions; it's better if you decide."
Alice frowned. Bruce's words seemed to leave the decision to Leo, but in reality, he didn't want to give up.
Judging from Leo's enthusiastic appearance and Elise's continued high level of energy... it seems that Leo's decision is already predictable.
All eyes turned to Leo.
Alice was helpless.
Elise was excited.
Bruce is anticipation.
Leo took in the expressions of the three of them and then said, "Then let's go back."
After Leo finished speaking...
Alice looked surprised.
Elise looked puzzled.
Bruce was taken aback.
Leo took a bite of the freshly grilled meat.
The perfectly grilled meat burst with an intoxicating flavor in Leo's mouth.
While eating his grilled meat, Leo said, "To be honest, this operation was indeed fraught with danger."
"Don't let my enthusiasm fool you, I'm actually worried about encountering danger."
"Although I'm currently in the lead, the gap between us and the others is still quite significant."
"Even if the operation continues, no one can say for sure what the outcome will be."
"They might even get caught up in a battle with a powerful wizard and perish as a result."
Leo was telling the truth.
Admittedly, Leo now has the ability to deal with aberrant creatures.
However, this grand gathering includes not only mutated creatures but also powerful wandering wizards.
Although the title of genius wizard was very attractive to Leo, and Leo also liked adventure, the adventures that Leo longed for were those with low risk and relatively high security.
Currently, the Tower of Dawn has dispatched three official wizards.
This place has become an extremely dangerous battlefield.
Leo felt that if he could extricate himself now, he should hurry back.
Thinking of this, Leo said, "I, Alice, and Bruce have all chosen to abandon this operation. Elise, it's three votes to one, you lost."
Elise said angrily, "Leo, you betrayed our warrior alliance! From now on, I'm going to call you Coward Leo."
Leo shrugged.
Alice's usually icy face softened into a smile as she said, "Alright, now that we've made our decision, let's go back."
Alice couldn't wait to go back.
With Leo and his team giving up.
First Alice, then Elise, then Bruce, they were teleported away one by one.
Bruce's face was filled with regret before he disappeared.
Finally, just when Leo thought he was about to be teleported away...
Kindley’s cold and ruthless voice rang out.
"Leo Danville, young wizard. I'm sorry, I miscalculated your coordinates. You'll need to get back to the ship yourself."
