Chapter 21 Next stop, Magic City!
"cracking!!"
The sharp cry of eagles resounded throughout the sky, and the eagles flew past each other, landing all over the city, and began to clean up the monsters in the city.
A military mage got down from Tianying, glanced at the body of the bone spur wolf, and saluted everyone.
"Thank you for your contribution to this crisis in Bo City. Leave the rest to us. You can go back and rest."
Upon hearing the arrival of support, the four magicians who came out with Lu Chen and others almost cried with joy.
Finally able to go back, too tormented.
In fact, along the way, they hardly did anything, and when encountering monsters, they were almost always solved by Lu Chen and Tangyue.
The main reason is that the strength shown by Lu Chen is too terrifying. They are afraid that Lu Chen will settle accounts after the fall because of some previous "extreme" words, so let them do it too.
Back in Anjie, everyone's tense nerves were finally relaxed, and they fell into a deep sleep.
As the night passed, the sky gradually cleared.
Without the erosion of the violent virus in the rain, Yi Canglang gradually returned to his senses this time.
Faced with the siege of two high-level mages, the idea of retreating was already born.
Seeing a high-ranking mage join the battlefield, Wing Canglang didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and fled.
As soon as the Wing Canglang escaped, the remaining wolf tribe monsters lost their leader in an instant and turned into a mess.
The situation reversed in an instant.
Exhausted, Zhan Kong returned to Anjie, without a moment's rest, while having his wound treated, he listened to his subordinates' reports.
"The cave that appeared in the central square has been reinforced with defenses. It will not pose any threat for the time being. However, the surrounding area of the square is filled with thunder and lightning elements. Ordinary magicians will be paralyzed and unable to move if they stay in it for too long..."
Zhan Kong heard halfway and raised his hand to interrupt.
That's not what he cares about. There are military mages patrolling everywhere in the city now, and no one with no eyesight will dare to come to Bo City for a while.
"Have you found the magician who released the lightning magic?"
The deputy in charge of the report paused and shook his head.
"According to the magician who was present to provide support, he only saw a figure from behind. Who exactly it was...I didn't pay attention."
At the end of the sentence, the deputy changed the subject.
"I heard from them that one of your students saved many people during this operation organized by the Magicians Association."
Hearing this, Zhan Kong couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"my student?"
"It's the student who easily killed the Baiyang summoned beast. When Liu Yang summoned magicians to clean up the monsters in the city, he was also the first to stand up."
Speaking of this, Zhan Kong's gloomy face dissipated a lot.
"You mean Lu Chen? As expected of someone I like, it's a pity, people don't like me."
Seeing that the deputy was hesitant to speak, Zhan Kong narrowed his eyes and asked back.
"Do you suspect that the person who released the thunder magic to help cover the entrance of the cave is Chase Lu?"
The deputy neither nodded nor shook his head, these were just guesses, and he also felt that this guess was a bit unbelievable.
However, according to the investigation, before the ball lightning fell, all supporters were evacuated one after another.
Only Chase Lu returned to Anjie alone after an hour. During this period, no one knew what Chase Lu did or who he met.
Chase Lu happened to be of the Thunder type again.
"Hahahaha, no matter how talented Lu Chen is, he is only a junior mage. It cannot be his."
The deputy didn't say much, and reported another matter.
"In addition, during this crisis, a group of mysterious organizations wearing night suits were involved in the rescue and rescued many people. Do you need to investigate their specific identities?"
Facing the deputy's inquiry, Zhankong shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he gave a reasonable reply.
"Think of them as temporary allies."
After taking care of the wound, Zhan Kong did not rest and actively devoted himself to handling official duties.
This time the Wing Wolf attacked Bo City, there were too many things that he, the military commander, had to deal with.
A crisp voice came from the silent office.
"You don't seem to trust me completely."
If Zhan Kong had chosen to believe him and asked for help as soon as possible after receiving the letter, and with the intervention of the Tribunal after Tang Yue's death, perhaps Bo City would have suffered less losses.
Zhan Kong raised his head, and Chen Lu, who was wearing a black robe, had already sat across from him.
Zhan Kong put down his pen, crossed his hands, and showed a rare look of regret on his face.
After receiving the letter, he personally went to Yi Cang Lang's territory to investigate, but found no trace of Yi Cang Lang, including along the way.
Therefore, Zhan Kong somewhat suspected that the seriousness of the incident described in the letter was to increase the reward, and he was in a state of half-belief.
Although no trace of Yi Canglang was found, he also had his own judgment. After noticing that the rain was abnormal, he immediately strengthened Bo City's defensive magic circle.
At the same time, he maintained contact with the military commander in the neighboring city and called for help immediately if an accident occurred.
It was precisely because of this decision that support could arrive in time and Bo City could be defended instead of becoming an abandoned city.
Zhan Kong obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and took the initiative to talk about the remuneration.
"I will give you the 500 million I promised you, but it will take some time."
Chen Lu is not very interested in the 500 million, but is interested in Zhan Kong's favor.
If he is targeted by the Disciplinary Court in the future, perhaps Zhan Kong will be a great help in his resistance.
"As long as it's ready, I need to come and get it myself."
After the words fell, Chen Lu got up and was about to leave.
Zhan Kong looked at the place where Chen Lu disappeared and said softly.
"Thank you."
This thank you was for nothing else but for everyone in Bocheng who had been saved by Chen Lu's men.
Lu Chen, who had changed back to his original form, bumped into Tang Yue head-on just as he was about to walk out the door.
The two of them sat at the table, and Tang Yue gently stroked his forehead.
"I'm leaving."
While talking, Tang Yue took out an envelope from her pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is the recommendation letter from Pearl University that I promised you before. Before I give it to you, you have to answer a question for me."
"Have you ever practiced forbidden techniques?"
There is no way, Lu Chen's strength has grown too fast, and it has exceeded the scope of what "genius" can explain.
Lu Chen laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and tapped his temple.
"Mr. Tang, geniuses don't bother to cultivate those heretics."
After the words fell, the room fell into silence.
Tangyue didn't respond, and looked at Lu Chen seriously.
The reason why the forbidden technique is called the forbidden technique is because it can greatly speed up the improvement of cultivation base, but at the same time, it has extremely serious side effects.
Tang Yue did not notice this in Lu Chen, but in the end, she still pushed the recommendation letter to Lu Chen.
"You can come to Hangzhou to find me when you are free."
Lu Chen reached out to take it, with the smile on his face still.
"must."
After walking out of the room and watching Tang Yue go away, the smile on Lu Chen's face gradually faded.
His ability will be exposed sooner or later. Before it is completely exposed, he needs to take the title of "genius" and buy him enough time to become stronger.
After three days, the city's infrastructure gradually recovered.
Sitting on the bus, Lu Chen took a last look at Bo City, and his eyes gradually faded away with the birds in the sky.
"Next stop, Magic City!"
