Chapter 94 The core squad arrives and sets up an ambush.

The warning crystal exudes a unique aura.

Soon, a voice slowly rang out.

"This is the castle, wizard. Please report your information," a clear voice rang out.

Ian quickly informed them of the situation.

"Ian, a second-class apprentice wizard in the Potions Department, is on guard duty at the Graystone Mine. I have discovered that second-class apprentices Lucien and Downs are preparing to betray the school and plan to take over the mine in three days in collusion with the Black Market School. I request your support."

"What? Please wait a moment."

The sounds behind the crystal were noticeably more chaotic, accompanied by exclamations of surprise. Ian waited patiently.

Three minutes later.

Then a familiar voice rang out.

"Ian, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you, Minister Hyde!"

Ian recognized the voice; it was Minister Hyde, who was also a member of the school.

"Are you sure about this?" Hyde asked directly.

"I overheard their conversation."

Ian didn't say yes, but simply repeated what he had heard.

After a moment of contemplation, Crystal said, "The warning crystal's time is very limited. Next, I will arrange for the nearest core combat team to go to the mine where you are located. The location is on the west side of the mine, but they will not get close. When you go out, contact them. It would be best to deal with the Blackrock School wizards there!"

"clear!"

Ian nodded.

Then, Hyde gave Ian some more instructions, and then the light from the crystal gradually faded away.

Unable to make a call.

"Only ten minutes?"

Ian shook his head.

The Emerald Forest is located in an area where magic is concentrated, so commonly used methods of communication are not very effective and are easily interfered with.

Even specially made crystal can only be used for ten minutes.

This is also one of the problems with different schools of thought: the distance is too great, and communication is often not timely. Even if the black market school has seized resources, it is often only aware of it after the fact.

Therefore, if he hadn't notified them, and with the cooperation of Lucien and the other two, the school probably wouldn't have received the news for several days.

But things are different now.

A core combat squad consists of at least one third-class wizard apprentice, several second-class wizard apprentices, and a number of other wizards.

With this lineup, they're more than capable of protecting a single mine.

"So we need to find an opportunity to go out in the next three days, and also find out about the batch of ore that Lucien and the other man have hidden, and whether they have any other escape routes."

Ian pondered.

Putting everything else aside, Ian was genuinely envious of the ore.

Perhaps after completing this phase, Ian will have a chance to obtain the resources needed to condense the Keystone Rune.

The allure is self-evident.

this day.

Ian did not act rashly.

He would only come out for a walk during breaks from his cultivation, as if to relax.

But on the other side, Ian was also searching inside the mine for any trace of that batch of ore.

However, it was not found.

Ian speculated that Lucien and the other man were probably left outside the mine, which was quite normal.

After all, the lost ore must have been searched once; if it were in the mine, it shouldn't have been impossible to find.

If it were just Ian alone, he would even have considered arresting the two of them and questioning them directly.

But unfortunately, it didn't work.

Hyde's order to him was to wait for the arrival of the school's wizards.

Arresting the two directly would only alert the enemy.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Ian found Lucien.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Lucien asked, puzzled.

"Yes, this is my first time venturing outside the school to see the surrounding environment." Ian scratched his head.

"Of course, do you need Towns to come with you?" Lucien didn't take it seriously.

"No need, I'll be back in a bit."

Ian refused.

"Okay, be careful."

Lucien offered a reminder but then stopped worrying. After all, Ian was a living person, and he couldn't watch him forever. Soon, Ian arrived outside the mine.

At first, it really felt like a leisurely stroll, but we ended up walking several kilometers.

Confirmed no tracking.

They immediately turned west of the mine and finally found the core team waiting in a ravine.

"Instructor Charles, is that you?"

Ian looked puzzled. The group in front of him was Charles's team, which had been separated for a day, and even Levi was among them.

"Hmph, we're already part of the core team, we were about to head to the front lines, but we were called back," Charles said irritably, then added solemnly, "Ian, are you sure there really will be black market wizards coming? If not, the consequences will be dire!"

"If not, I'm willing to pay the price."

Ian nodded.

Making hasty contact with any school of thought will cost the wizards valuable time and energy, and these costs are not free.

"Okay, let's make a plan then."

Charles nodded, then turned to look at the team members behind him.

There were ten people in total: four second-class wizard apprentices, six first-class wizard apprentices, and him, a third-class wizard apprentice.

This is a standard combat squad.

Moreover, unlike ordinary combat squads, the core combat squads possess magical abilities and combat power that are unmatched by ordinary wizards.

Even if several times the number of wizards arrived, they would be able to stop them, which is why Hyde only sent one team.

Because that's enough.

If the Blackrock School could infiltrate such a large number of wizards silently in this area, which isn't exactly on the periphery, then they wouldn't stand a chance.

Charles quickly finalized his plans.

"Ian, you go back to the mine and keep Lucien and Downs calm. Don't arouse their suspicion," Charles said in a deep voice. "If the Blackrock School chooses to collude with Lucien and his group, they will most likely choose to infiltrate. Tomorrow night, you will meet us. The others will choose to ambush us behind their likely route, and we will attack from both sides."

"Can."

Ian nodded.

Charles's plan is acceptable.

Ian left quickly.

In the valley, Charles's gaze was fixed on Ian as he left, a slightly different feeling stirring within him.

"I received the message a day ago, which means he realized something was wrong almost just hours after he entered the room."

O

Charles's expression was complicated.

No problems were found when the mine reduced production before; the only report at the time was that the veins might be depleted soon.

The school had considered the possibility of internal sabotage, but they found nothing. That's why he had Ian keep the two of them calm.

Otherwise, if the time is not right, they will end up with nothing.

"Get ready."

Then he turned to the group of wizards behind him and gave them instructions.

The wizards dealt with them one by one.

In the crowd, Li Wei watched Ian leave and touched the staff in his hand.

Combat was something he was already used to.

However, he was quite looking forward to this battle because he would see Ian fight again.

"Is it because their fighting strength is too weak to make a move, or...?"

'

Li Wei gazed into the distance, recalling the scene from a few days ago.

the other side.

Ian returned quickly as well.

After all, it was just a short walk; if it lasted too long, it might arouse suspicion from the two of them.

Over the next two days, Ian cultivated while also keeping a close eye on the changes within the mine.

After all, if anything changes, he can easily run away.

Lucien and Ian were initially quite nervous about Ian, but after seeing his performance over the past two days, they gradually relaxed.

At the same time, Ian would also habitually go out for a walk or stroll in the afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day.

Dusk was gradually falling.

Ian returned to the school as usual, and as he entered the room, the air rippled behind him, and the three of them slowly appeared.

Leading the group was Charles, followed by Levi and another second-class wizard apprentice.

The three of them were also covered in a layer of wizard robes that appeared to be transparent but flowed.

"A wizard's robe branded with concealment runes, but you'll have to be there to get in, otherwise it'll be difficult to enter, as the detection runes outside the mine will also be able to detect it."

Charles Road.

Ian nodded.

The mine is protected by runes; even a third-class wizard apprentice might not be able to break through it if attacked directly.

"Then let's just wait and see what Lucien and the others do."

Charles said.

The group waited quietly in the room.

Time passed slowly, and night gradually fell. Suddenly, Charles and Ian opened their eyes at the same time.

"They're here!"

The two spoke at the same time.

As Charles spoke, he looked at Ian with some surprise, wondering if Ian had sensed it at the same time as him.

Li Wei and the other wizard apprentice were also taken aback.

Because they haven't felt it yet.

But now is not the time to consider that.

It's time to prepare for battle!

Charles took the lead, bursting through the door, with Levi and another wizard quickly following behind.

Ian acted quickly as well.

They followed right at the very back.
