Chapter 1268 Part 2: Zero Puppet helped me again
From MC’s Perspective:
“It’s them, what are they up to?” I said to myself.
Outside,
“Check, where is he?”
The person who has the magic scroll spoke. Seeing that, everyone rushed to the washroom to see.
Creak!
They forcibly opened the door and saw no one inside.
“What?”
“He is not here!”
“Did he escape?”
The wizards shouted one after another.
Then they saw the window. It was a sliding door type. Anyone can come and go through it.
Then they misunderstood that Vincent Carey escaped through it.
“He might not have gone far!”
“Let’s go and catch him!”
“Move!”
The Beast Taming Wizards spoke one after another before leaving.
The staff behind the counter saw how these wizards started running as if they were after someone.
A few of them saw Vincent Carey going to the janitor’s room earlier. Find more to read on My Virtual Library Empire
They immediately understood that a bunch of people were targeting Vincent Carey. But they didn’t have the power to interfere.
Inside the Gregor Mansion, I saw how everyone frantically looked for me before leaving the place in disappointment.
“Zero, tell me about the conversation related to me,” I asked.
“Master, this is what happened…”
Zero Puppet started to reveal the conversation about me.
About 20 minutes later,
The Zero Puppet finished stating everything and stood silently.
“Council Elder?” I muttered to myself.
Earlier, I thought it was some kind of bullying planned by other department wizards.
But it turned out their department’s Council Elder had given them a magic scroll to use on me. The magic scroll has a binding spell.
My mouth curved into an arc.
Only an idiot would believe that. Especially in my current situation, why would any Council Elder appear?
The departments that are causing trouble for me are the Bloodline Beast Department and the Beast Taming Department.
I think it must be a Council Elder from either of the two departments. After yesterday’s failed attack, they must be looking for ways to capture or kill me.
The binding spell may be one of their tricks. Hereafter, I have decided to be careful of the people around me.
Then I deactivated the Zero Puppet.
About an hour later,
Swoosh!
I appeared back inside the janitor’s room and immediately left the place. By this time, no wizards were here. The whole canteen was empty.
Those who were working were inside the kitchen.
About 10 minutes later,
I walked out of the dorm building. I saw no sign of the Wizards. They must have gone somewhere to look for me.
Then I started heading toward the Special Mage Department.
Meanwhile,
“He is gone!”
“We missed the chance!”
“He won’t come back again!”
“What if he reports us to his elder?”
The Beast Taming Wizards discussed among each other.
The person who held the magic scroll was disappointed. His face turned ugly.
He then said, “Let’s go. We will think of something tomorrow.”
Hearing that, others felt the same and they left the place.
…
At the same time, Council Elder Milo was waiting to hear the good news. As time passed, he didn’t hear a single sound coming from Vincent Carey’s dorm building.
He knew that once the magic spell was activated, the whole dorm building would be destroyed and the wizard students would die along with it.
Buzz!
His communication watch buzzed. He saw it was another message from Aaron Perry. His face turned ugly. He immediately thought of that dangerous wizard.
“Who is he?” he asked himself.
After coming from there, he had been trying to figure out his identity. But he couldn’t find anyone matching the Perry family so far.
Aaron Perry himself was an important member of the Perry family. Yet he was addressing that person as a Lord.
“Was he a relative of the current Family Head?” he asked himself.
His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. It’s not like he didn’t know anything about the Perry family. He knew that the current Family Head had siblings.
But that person had left the Perry family a decade ago, so he was not sure.
“Anyway, I need Supreme Resources. As long as I can kill Vincent Carey, I will get the resources,” Milo muttered to himself.
He was not afraid of offending the people behind Vincent Carey. Once he got the Supreme Resources, he had made up his mind to leave the True Elements Society.
He had been trying to collect Supreme Resources in the True Elements Society. But it was not easy. You have to earn merits for that. And his own salary was not enough to buy Supreme Resources.
So when he heard of the Supreme Resources offer from that person, he had decided to betray the True Elements Society. He wouldn’t care what would happen between the factions. He would leave the Ancient Redwood Country itself.
After gaining some clarity, he decided to visit Vincent Carey’s dorm building right away.
Shortly afterward,
He appeared at the dorm building. It was night time, and everyone was asleep. Milo’s eyes flickered. He realized that something must have happened for the students not to take action.
So he decided to meet them in the morning.
Swoosh!
He disappeared from the spot.
…
Special Mage Department:
In the new room, I’m lying in bed while my eyes look at the ceiling. My thoughts were around the canteen incident.
Why would the Council Elder give a magic scroll with a binding spell in it to the first-year students?
It feels absurd to me. I don’t want to see them again. Who knows if that Council Elder was waiting there to attack me again?
Even if I told Elder Paul Lin, he might not take any action. He would wait for Head Howard Mason to arrive.
On the other hand, the attack on me would increase if this incident were leaked to the public.
“To think I’m under the radar of the Council Elder,” my eyes flashed with seriousness. The Council Elder is a level-9 Wizard. So I can only rely on myself.
It would be better if I got a magic artifact to deal with him.
