Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 402 - 239: Witch Hunting Legion_2

"According to those noble lords, this seems to be called sub-magic technology, which sounds very impressive."

"I see." The wizard appeared thoughtful.

Bang!

A wine glass suddenly slammed heavily onto the table, golden wine splashing out, wetting Joseph’s sleeve as he tried to dodge, and leaving several wet spots on the wizard’s robe chest.

"Hey, kid, we brothers want this table, hurry up and leave!"

The speaker was a rugged man with a face full of rough flesh, and a pair of triangular eyes glared at the wizard.

Following him were four or five men, all with mocking expressions, their eyes scanning the wizard malevolently from head to toe.

Seeing this scene, the experienced Joseph immediately understood, his gaze sweeping over the tavern, and sure enough, all the tables were full, except for this one table occupied by a lone customer, making him stand out in the crowded tavern.

Realizing this, Joseph cursed himself inwardly for his foolishness. He should have brought the guest to the counter, where single customers usually sat.

He had initially felt the wizard was not an ordinary person, so he specially arranged a table, but never expected to meet a situation involving a fight for seating.

Feeling anxious, Joseph was about to speak to ease the situation, but saw the wizard didn’t even lift his head or glance at the strong men, merely saying in a deep voice.

"Get lost!"

Joseph’s heart sank, knowing trouble was ahead.

But the scene that followed left him dumbfounded.

The strong men actually obeyed the wizard, wordlessly turning to leave.

Under the lights, their expressions seemed somewhat dazed.

When the strong men’s figures disappeared at the door, Joseph finally snapped back to reality, swallowing his saliva, looking at the wizard with reverence now.

He was not foolish; connecting the rumors of the wizard’s powerful and magical abilities, he naturally guessed the person before him must have used the legendary magic.

This guest was actually a powerful wizard!

"S—sir..."

"Thank you for the information."

The wizard interrupted Joseph’s stuttering words, picking up the fine malt beer on the table.

Joseph immediately understood, hurriedly said fawningly: "Enjoy your drink, if there’s anything you need, feel free to let me know."

Then he tactfully withdrew.

The wizard leisurely savored the fine malt beer and food, though his actions were graceful, his eating pace wasn’t slow, before long he had finished all the food on the table.

Placing a gold coin on the table, the wizard then left the tavern without looking back.

Outside, the night had deepened.

The mysterious darkness enveloped the entire city.

The silver moon hung high in the sky, moonlight sprinkled on the street like a thin veil.

For some reason, after leaving the tavern and walking for a while, the silhouettes around gradually became sparse, until only he was left on the vast street.

The surrounding was silent, as if the whole world only had him left.

The wizard perceptively sensed something was amiss, stopped and looked around.

Accompanied by faint footsteps, two silhouettes emerged from the shadows, blocking his front and back paths.

Bathed in moonlight, the wizard quickly saw the figures of the newcomers.

It turned out to be two men dressed in gray robes, both wore star-shaped badges on their chest.

"Why are you two blocking my path?" the wizard asked.

The man in the front scrutinized him, calmly said: "You’re a wizard apprentice, right? We’re the Star Alliance law enforcement team. According to Star Alliance regulations, any wizard apprentice must register before entering town, please follow us to register and clarify your origins."

"Rest assured, as long as you haven’t committed any crimes, we won’t harm you."

The wizard’s eyes flashed with uncertainty.

How did the Star Alliance detect his identity?

Clearly, he had not exposed any clues!

Wait, could it be because of the magic he used in the tavern earlier?

Seeing the wizard remain silent, the law enforcement team member frowned, spoke sternly: "Please come with us!"

The wizard still stayed silent.

Seeing this, the two law enforcement team members exchanged a look, swiftly reached a tacit understanding, and suddenly attacked simultaneously the next moment.

Ma Youfu’s Strong Acid Arrow!

Scorching Beam!

The two Tier Two magic attacked the wizard one after another.

Sunset City, as one of the cities housing secondary star cores, had far stronger garrison forces than ordinary towns.

Most notably, a law enforcement team was stationed there year-round.

Star Alliance law enforcement teams are renowned across the Starlight Continent, especially amongst the rogue wizard apprentices, making them dread.

Many rogue wizard apprentices had fallen into the hands of the law enforcement team over the years.

And the primary condition to join the law enforcement team is being a Level 3 wizard apprentice.

At the moment, the two members attacking the wizard were both Level 3 wizard apprentices.

The two had previously cooperated against many rogue wizard apprentices, undefeated, confident as ever about this operation.

But in the next second, in their stunned gaze, the two magic hit the wizard but vanished like mud sinking into a sea, with no reaction.

What’s going on?!

Both showed shock.

Before they could react, the wizard raised his hands, two streaks of lightning burst forth like arrows tearing through the night, hitting the two law enforcement members respectively!

Instantly, accompanied by a succession of soft noises, their protective fields and energy particle shields were nearly instantly shattered, electrical light surged across their bodies like small snakes.

Thud!

The two instantly became paralyzed, fell to the ground, only regaining senses after a while.

Just when they looked up again, they found the wizard had already disappeared.

"What magic was that just now?"

"That’s not magic, it was simply energy particle manipulation!"

"How is that possible?!"

To instantly defeat two Level 3 wizard apprentices with mere energy particle manipulation, that only a wizard could achieve!

Could it be that wizard is a wizard?

The two immediately realized the seriousness, one took out a book, opened it, countless slender beams floated out, weaving into a humanoid shadow, faintly resembling a middle-aged man.

"What happened?" the middle-aged man asked sternly.

"Captain, we didn’t capture the target."

The law enforcement held the book explained the incident quickly.

After listening, the middle-aged man realized the anomaly, immediately said: "Return for now, the target isn’t something our squad can handle, I’ll request support above right away."

With that, the shadow disappeared.

The two law enforcement members exchanged a look, both wore wry smiles.

"Didn’t expect to encounter such a tricky target, whom exactly is he?"

"No matter where he came from, once recorded by the Eye of Star with life aura, he won’t escape capture even to the ends of the earth!"

...

After defeating the two law enforcement members, the wizard decisively left Sunset City, strayed from the main road into the remote forest.

"Star Alliance, huh..."

"Didn’t expect this dimension is already under Wizard Influence’s control, moreover it seems sizeable, encountering two Level 3 wizard apprentices in a random city."

"Looks like it’s better to find somewhere to hide for a while to avoid the limelight."

As the wizard’s mind formed this thought, he suddenly stopped.

Two slender silhouettes slowly emerged from the shadows in the forest ahead.

Moonlight fell upon them, illuminating two faces carved as from the same mold along with indistinguishable exquisite figures.

"Who are you people?" the wizard asked harshly.

Different from the previous two, the two beautiful women before him exuded an extremely dangerous aura, dispelling his former carefree state.

"Star Alliance Witch Hunting Legion." The woman on the left said.

"Surrender yourself." The woman on the right spoke immediately after.

The wizard’s eyes twitched.

What’s happening?

How did the Star Alliance lock onto his location so quickly and send people over?

Their action efficiency is too exaggerated, isn’t it?
