Chapter 58 The Caravan
The White Wizard Apprentice Exchange Meeting was proposed hundreds of years ago by the Eternal Tower, the most powerful white wizard force in the Aikar region.
The aim is to strengthen the ties between the White Wizards in the Aikar region and demonstrate their control over the region!
To put it bluntly, it's about declaring to other regions that the Eker region is the domain of the White Wizards.
And it is precisely for this reason that the dark wizards always try their best to "help out" at every exchange meeting.
This led to constant conflicts between white wizards and black wizards in the previous exchange meetings, resulting in the deaths of countless formal wizards and second-level wizards.
The previous Lord of Silence died during that period!
Due to the fierce resistance of the Black Wizards, the purpose of the exchange meeting was not achieved at all, and instead, the losses were heavy. Therefore, the Tower of Eternity and the Silent Forest, the strongest force of the Black Wizards, began negotiations.
By limiting the scale of conflicts at the exchange meetings to the apprentice stage, we have the current exchange meetings for white wizards and the hunting season for black wizards.
Yes, although the leader of the Silent Forest was killed, the Silent Forest is still the leader of the Black Wizard faction due to its overall strength.
The one who killed the previous Lord of Silence was the original owner of the ring worn by Klar, one of the deputy tower masters of the Eternal Tower, a level three fire-type archmage, the Death Flame—Kabus Raels!
The task that Pero gave to Heik was to kill this person's direct descendant, the disciple of the Tower Master of the Eternal Tower, the young master of the Rael family, and a third-level apprentice, Leo Rael!
Although that third-level archmage is dead, the Raeles family has quite a few second-level wizards, not to mention that Leo is the disciple of the current tower master of the Eternal Tower!
This is also why Hick lost his composure after seeing the mission objective.
How can I kill him? If I kill him, how can I live? Would a family with several level-two wizards let me go? Would the tower master of the Eternal Tower let me go? Would the Silent Forest hold off these people for my sake?
All of this made Xi realize that if she recklessly killed Leo, her life or death would truly be in the hands of these people.
Thinking of all this, Hick took a deep breath, listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and looked in the direction Sori had left, murmuring:
"Don't let me down, Thawley! Everyone, follow me!"
The remaining subordinates replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"
Hick then found a direction and sped off. Having already obtained the "Mental Solidification Structure Diagram," his primary task now was to solidify his mental power and become a formal wizard.
The stronger you are, the greater your chances of surviving this storm!

"Leo, we've been walking for days, why haven't we seen a single black rat?"
"Exactly! Weren't they saying those black rats were all powerful and cruel? I think they were scared away by the sight of us!"
"Hahaha!"
Listening to the conversations of the apprentices around him, and amidst the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, Leo, sitting in a carriage with his head resting on the long, slender legs of a female apprentice, responded contentedly:
"Don't let your guard down. Who knows, a few black rats might run out from some nook or cranny."
Looking at Leo, who was sitting comfortably in the carriage, and the relaxed atmosphere in the other carriages, I could feel the same.
The group of apprentices following behind were filled with resentment.
"Why are these guys from the Eternal Tower allowed to ride in carriages while we have to follow behind?"
"That was our 'good senior,' who said we didn't like riding in carriages and gave them all to the people from the Eternal Tower."
"Looking at him, anyone who didn't know better would think he was from the Tower of Eternity. It's such a waste for him to be at our Anse Academy!"
Listening to the complaints of the apprentices around him, Nia Moreno's expression was equally unpleasant. Originally, the assignments were random, and the participants were to travel in batches to Cable Academy, the location of this exchange meeting.
Unfortunately, she ended up being assigned to the same group as her nemesis, York. To make matters worse, they ran into Leo and his group from the Tower of Eternity on their way. What made it even harder for Nia to accept was that York and Leo knew each other!
As a result, York, relying on his position as the leader of this group of Anse apprentices, gave them all the carriages from the Anse Academy in order to get closer to Rio.
Didn't we say we should learn from the Tower of Eternity and properly appreciate the scenery along the way? Who appreciates scenery on foot?
If we had known this would happen, which apprentice who went to the exchange meeting wouldn't have a few magical pets to ride?
Thinking about her conflict with York, Nia gritted her teeth in hatred!
York, who had already received the honor bestowed by his family and could have smoothly become the disciple of the second-level wizard, Master Ster, was still unwilling to accept defeat!
His family instigated him to decide who could become Master Ster's apprentice based on their ranking at this exchange meeting.
They had already met the requirements, but an extra round was added against their will, which made the conflict between them increasingly acute and irreconcilable.
Otherwise, given his status, how could he not even be able to ride in a carriage?
"York, you just wait! Once I become Master Ster's disciple, you'll see how I properly 'repay' you."
At this moment, Nia looked at the bowing and scraping figure with eyes full of resentment and hatred!
"Found them! This is the team Leo is with!"
On the green field in the distance, Sorey looked at the group of cars and said with certainty.
"It wasn't easy. We searched for three days, but we finally found it."
"Sorry, what do we do now?"
"The adults told us to listen to you, so what do you suggest?"
Sori didn't speak, but gradually began to process the information in his mind.
After receiving this mission, Hick didn't sit idle. He collected a lot of intelligence about Leo and the other apprentices, and analyzed the key information with Sorey.
This is also why Hick appointed Sorey to lead the team.
"Don't worry, now that they've been found, they can't escape!"
Sorey had clearly come up with a plan, and said confidently.
"We'll make our move while they rest! For now, let's plan ahead..."
The convoy moved at a leisurely pace. Clearly, time was not precious to these people of the Eternal Tower; as long as they could reach their destination within the allotted time, that was enough. The arrogance of the first great wizarding group of Aikar permeated the entire community.
"Senior Leo, there's a river not far ahead, the scenery is quite nice, how about..."
Hearing York's slightly obsequious words, Leo opened his eyes, took the female apprentice's hand, and asked:
"Sirius, what do you think?"
Sirian said with a hint of resentment:
"You figure it out yourself. Do you think I can control you?"
Hearing this, Leo said somewhat awkwardly:
"Let's rest up ahead and enjoy the scenery."
