Chapter 167 Mortals are Too Ignorant
"Damn it, this first nobleman is already in such danger."
"So many mutated creatures, who can handle them? We're just ordinary third-tier wizard apprentices. Sending us to fight mutated creatures is practically sending us to our deaths!"
Leo's ears twitched slightly, and with his enhanced hearing, he caught the conversation of the wizards in the distance.
Leo hesitated for a moment.
He not only mastered the fourth stage of the pumpkin carriage spell, but it was also an improved version of the accelerated flying pumpkin. Now, in the accelerated state, his speed can reach more than twice that of the ordinary pumpkin carriage spell.
Even so, when Leo reached the third noble's target, it was still only equivalent to someone else's first noble's target.
Leo was acutely aware of just how disadvantaged his route allocation was.
If it were a second-class wizard apprentice flying at normal speed, there would probably be no hope of turning the tide.
Leo only pondered for a moment before focusing his attention on the battle situation before him.
Leo showed no intention of helping the two wizards out of their predicament.
The mutated creatures will prioritize hunting wizard apprentices with weaker mental energy.
As long as these two wizard apprentices live, they can draw away the firepower of these mutated creatures.
Leo, on the other hand, began searching for his target.
Leo began searching for the nobleman using his senses.
Then, Leo's gaze fell on a figure hidden behind a tree not far away.
Several knights were protecting him around the figure.
As for the other decapitation soldiers, they had either been transformed into mutated creatures or killed by the wizard squad from before.
Leo concealed himself and approached the nobleman, then began to condense flaming magma.
The nobleman did not notice Leo's subtle actions.
But the knights sensed something.
Their eyes scanned their surroundings.
Then, they looked at Leo with expressions of horror.
"It's a wizard! There's another wizard here!"
Before the knight could even shout, Leo's blazing lava was already ready.
A large amount of molten liquid gushed out.
This engulfed the knights and nobles.
A new number 3 appeared beside Leo.
Leo then left.
However, before leaving, he communicated with Alice and the others in his team, instructing them to bypass the area where the third noble was located and go directly to the area where the fourth noble was located.
As for the two wizard apprentices being chased by the mutated creatures?
Leo could only wish them luck in escaping the pursuit of the mutated creatures.
Leo, riding on the flying pumpkin, headed towards the location of the next noble.
Huge ships.
The three formal wizards, Kindley, stared at the constantly fluctuating data panel in front of them.
It records the progress of all the wizard teams.
When Kindley and his two companions saw the wizard team ranked first, they all smiled.
"Brock, your son is doing well. It looks like he's got this in the bag this time."
Banville's team has now reached the second noble, and he only needs to face five nobles in total. In other words, he has already completed more than one-third of the task.
Kindley, the formal wizard, and the others looked toward the second place.
Second place went to Sephir's team.
He also arrived at the second nobleman's place, but Sephiroth's team had to face a total of six noblemen, so their progress was slower than Banville's.
Compared to Banville, the three showed little interest in Sephiroth.
"If he had used his talent properly, he should have been number one this time," said Kim Dee calmly. "What a pity."
""
"It's not a pity at all," Brock said calmly. "With a level 6 mental talent, he should have found the right direction. But he was too confident in his talent, which is why he failed to develop it properly."
The formal wizard Tori said, "Let's not discuss him anymore; there's no point in discussing him."
"Too."
Kim Dee looked at the third person.
He frowned instinctively.
"This team actually managed to rank third, so they must have some real skill."
The third team was surprisingly Leo's group.
The thought of Leo, a Pros, achieving such good results caused both Kindley and the other two official wizards of the Golden Eagle faction to subconsciously frown.
While Jin Deli and his two companions were looking at the rankings.
A paper bird came near the three of them.
The bird's body began to swell, then exploded, transforming into a visual scene.
The scene depicts the situations of individual wizard squads.
These situations mostly involve wizard apprentices being killed or chased by mutated creatures.
"Just as the Tower Master said before," said Jin Deli.
"These mortals actually managed to turn their soldiers into mutated creatures."
"Mortals are far too ignorant," Brock said coldly. "Even we wizards find the existence of aberrant creatures troublesome. Special regulations are needed to prevent them."
"They used this method to create mutated creatures, which may have an impact on our wizard apprentices in the Tower of Dawn for a while, but the greatest harm will be left to the mortal kingdoms of the Twin Continents."
"I don't know why these mortals would do something that harms others and doesn't benefit themselves."
"Nobles among mortals are inherently indifferent to the lives and deaths of their mortal subjects."
"They simply don't understand that ordinary people can only create the greatest value by living."
"Things have come to this point, let's proceed according to plan."
Before arriving, Kindley and his two companions already knew that the nobles of the Socratic Empire colluded with wandering wizards and possessed methods to turn mortals into mutated creatures, so they had taken precautions.
"Let me handle this," said the formal wizard, "Brock."
"Thank you for your help, Wizard Brock."
At this moment, all the wizard apprentices on the Twin Continents received a communication from a certified wizard.
A phantom image appeared in front of Leo.
"Young wizards, some unusual circumstances have arisen during this operation. The nobles have created a large number of mutated creatures."
"Two new rules will be added to this operation."
"The first rule is that any wizard facing the threat of mutated creatures who chooses to abandon this operation will be sent to your side to eliminate the mutated creatures."
"The second rule is that if any wizarding team is willing to abandon this operation before midnight tonight, we will teleport you back to the moving ship."
These two regulations made Leo frown.
After a moment's thought, Leo continued on his way.
These two regulations are not detrimental to Leo.
After all, these two regulations essentially gave Leo another safe way to escape.
The introduction of these two regulations, especially the first one, brought a sigh of relief to many wizards who were already facing the threat of mutated creatures.
Southwest of the Twin Continents.
Fia, panting, looked back at the mutated creatures chasing them and, without hesitation, immediately chose to abandon the mission.
