Chapter 41 The Hidden Nest
After pouring all the ashes into the sea and having them swallowed by sharks, the Scarlet Wizard still felt that the examination was not thorough enough.
He immediately ordered everyone on the cargo ship to transfer to the pirate ships, then had Andy smash the cargo ships one by one, and commanded the sharks to force them to bite the cargo ship fragments into even smaller pieces...
Upon searching, they actually found another magical beast crystal.
—Someone dug a large hole in the wall of the ship's cabin, hid the monster crystal inside, and then filled and sealed it with bone powder.
When the second monster crystal was found, Godil's face turned green.
The others who were transferred to the pirate ship were also terrified and began to blame and curse each other.
Godil, in particular, was both surprised and panicked, and then his face turned ashen.
Little did he know that a magical beast crystal was actually hidden among these cargo ships.
To deceive a wizard to his face and be caught red-handed—the consequences are predictable.
As the Crimson Wizard weighed the second magical beast crystal, his expression turned extremely unpleasant.
She never expected that someone would actually dare to lie to her face—if she hadn't been careful and had Andy dismantle the boat, wouldn't she have been completely fooled by these people?
"Thunder Wizard, what do you think we should do with these audacious people?" The Crimson Wizard's gaze fell on Loon.
In her opinion, these people clearly saw that she and Luo Ang were together, but they had two magic beast crystals, yet they insisted on hiding one and only taking out the other.
This was clearly a deliberate attempt to create conflict and rift between her and Luo Ang over the difficult-to-distribute magical beast crystals.
Therefore, when she spoke, her words were filled with a chilling killing intent.
On the sea, Luo Ang watched this scene with his own eyes wide open.
Little did he know that someone on these cargo ships could actually hide a magical beast crystal.
He glanced at Godil, his gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's faces.
A thin mist slowly spread across the sea, gradually enveloping all the ships and shrouding everyone on board in it.
Under the influence of that solidification spell, these clouds seemed to transform into Luo Ang's hands and feet, and into Luo Ang's senses, reflecting everyone's heartbeats and emotions in Luo Ang's mind.
How should we deal with these people?
Luo Ang pondered for a moment.
By sensing the emotions through the mist, he easily identified the 'owner' of the second magical beast crystal.
He was a rather thin boy who huddled in the crowd, his head bowed, appearing very timid.
Luo Ang sensed it clearly: the boy's emotions contained only fear and regret, but not a trace of resentment.
"That's fine then." Luo Ang withdrew his gaze.
He knew what the Scarlet Wizard meant—according to the Scarlet Wizard's idea, or rather, according to the idea of most other wizards in the world, and even according to the idea of the people in front of him, as a deceived wizard, he should kill all of them in order to vent his anger and to demonstrate his authority.
But Luo Ang himself did not have such a strong desire to kill.
Even in Luo Ang's mind, he did not believe that these people hiding their wealth was a form of deception.
and so……
Luo Ang waved his hand.
"These two monster crystals are our reward for rescuing you from the pirates."
"The destroyed ships and cargo are the price you paid for trying to deceive the wizard."
Loon raised his hand and allocated ten of the pirate ships to the caravan, along with enough food and water, before letting the people leave.
Then, Loon turned his attention to the Bloodtooth Shark Pirate Crew.
The pirate captain had been killed by the Crimson Wizard—through this incident, the remaining pirates were certain that the two wizards before them were not afraid of their master.
Therefore, these pirates behaved very obediently at this time, cooperating extremely well with whatever they were asked to do.
"Take me to your master," Loon said to the pirates.
……
Just as Scarlet Wizard and Loen had determined.
—Although the pirates chosen by Wizard Lescent to transport the goods never returned after delivering their loot to Wizard Lescent's lair, these pirates still managed to 'guess' the location of Wizard Lescent's lair with great alertness.
At first, the pirates did not dare to take Loon and the Crimson Wizard to the lair of the wizard Lescent.
But when Loon showed the pirates the wizard Recent's "staff," the pirates realized another fact.
Thus, under the leadership of the Bloodtooth Shark Pirates, the lair of Wizard Recent naturally appeared before Loon and the Crimson Wizard.
It is an island shrouded in mist.
The island was very desolate, covered with sand and gravel, and had little life.
Outside the island, there are numerous reefs of varying sizes, as well as complex ocean currents.
Between the reefs, in the place swept by the ocean currents, countless ships have sunk.
Looking at the island, both Loen and the Crimson Wizard showed expressions of surprise.
—They had visited this island before when they were searching for the lair of the wizard Lescent.
However, they did not find the lair of the wizard Lessonte on the island.
"Could it be that Wizard Lescent left some kind of arrangement on this island?" Looking at the island surrounded by reefs and shipwrecks, Loen and Scarlet Wizard couldn't help but exchange a glance, their faces showing a mixture of surprise and delight.
If the wizard Recent's lair is indeed here—then there must be some extremely mysterious arrangement on this island, so much so that even together, Loon and the Scarlet Wizard had difficulty finding his lair.
If that's the case, then even if there's nothing in Wizard Recent's lair... the fact that this 'method' could fool the two second-class wizard apprentices' careful search is enough to make Loen and Wizard Crimson return with a full load!
"We've been to this island before, but we didn't find anything here." Luo Ang suppressed the 'surprise' that had just appeared in his heart and said to the pirate who was leading the way on the ship—this pirate had no nose, only two dark nostrils, and looked very terrifying.
His name was Yalin.
"Is Wizard Resent's tower really on this island?"
"No, no, no," the pirate who had led the way wiped the sweat from his brow and hurriedly explained.
"The wizard tower of the wizard Lessonte is over there."
The pirate wiped his sweat as he pointed to a reef not far from the island.
The reef that peeks out from the shallow sea is the entrance to the wizard Recent's lair.
"Are you sure it's there?" Loen and the Crimson Wizard looked at the reef with questioning eyes.
