Chapter 219:
“What is the Hunting Squad?”
With her gaze fixed on the two giant eagles slowly descending from the sky, Freya drew her Cross Sword and asked warily.
In her perception, although the two wizards exuded a tremendous sense of pressure, there was not much intent to attack, which was why Freya did not immediately react further.
The person being questioned appeared to be in extreme fear, their already pale face turning a shade of dark blue, nearly losing their ability to speak.
Casting a slight glance at this person's condition, Freya waited quietly.
After all, with two Crystalized Wizards present, if Freya wanted to escape, the chances would be pitifully low.
Soon, the two White Giant Eagles landed gently in a relatively clean area of the town. The giant eagles slightly bowed their heads as two Black-Robed Wizards nimbly jumped down from their backs.
Next, the two walked directly towards Freya.
Freya noticed that even after they landed, the Black Smoke surrounding them did not dissipate but continued to collapse around them.
It seemed that this Black Smoke had other functions, obscuring their facial features.
However, even though she could not see their faces clearly, Freya could still sense that the gazes of the two Black-Robed Wizards were shifting between each other and her.
When they reached a distance that Freya considered safe, they finally stopped.
One of the black-robed figures stepped forward and scanned Freya up and down before speaking directly.
“I received a report from the Fedisca Organization about an energy pollution incident. Were you two responsible for it?”
His voice was somewhat hoarse, but the language was still the common tongue that Freya was familiar with, albeit with some peculiar intonations in certain words.
Most areas of Cloud City were relatively peaceful, but for the sake of good public order, Cloud City also had an organization similar to the police known as the Wizard Organization.
Upon hearing such official-sounding words, Freya immediately guessed that these two might belong to that identity.
She just didn't know what their attitude would be like.
After a moment's thought, she put away her Cross Sword and revealed a slight smile.
"Hello, Master Wizard. I am a Wandering Wizard who has come from the distant Dis Mountain Range. I noticed traces of Blood Corpses here and came out of curiosity. If you are looking for a reason, it might be him," she said, pointing to the Necromancer beside her, who was too frightened to speak.
"Eh? Isn't this Dixna, who fled after stealing while drunk?"
Perhaps due to the Necromancer's face being covered in Black Ash, the Black-Robed Wizard only now recognized him.
However, judging by his tone, it seemed he knew this person.
"I didn't expect to run into you here! What a coincidence," he said as he directly stepped past Freya and reached out to pull the half-lying Necromancer.
With a snap, two exceptionally tough vines broke under his pull, causing Freya's pupils to constrict slightly.
To be able to break her specially modified catalytic plants with one hand, this kind of strength was almost comparable to that of a mountain bull.
However, this person was merely a description on the list and clearly had not yet exerted their full strength.
This made Freya relieved that she hadn't done anything else just now.
With one hand, she pulled the Black-Robed Wizard over and carried him on her shoulder like an object. Under Freya's gaze, the smoke surrounding him suddenly condensed, and a strange wave of energy flashed by.
The smoke swirling around quickly wrapped around the Necromancer, and before long, he resembled a black rice dumpling.
After doing all this, the Black-Robed Wizard spoke to the remaining Freya lightly.
"Alright, since the matter is resolved, it's your turn now. Since you are a Wandering Wizard who just arrived in Cloud City, you need to go to the Tesk Center to register. This is a necessary procedure for every wizard who wants to live in Cloud City. Of course, if you don't intend to reside here, then there's no need to go."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the reminder," Freya replied politely.
"Mm." The man nodded lightly upon seeing Freya's understanding.
However, just as he was about to leave, Freya called out to him after some thought.
"Excuse me, Master Wizard, I have one more thing I would like to ask."
Hearing Freya's words, the man stopped and turned around, tilting his head slightly.
"What else is there?"
"Well, there used to be a stronghold belonging to my friend's family in this town. I would like to ask if those people have relocated or what happened to them?" Freya inquired carefully.
The man seemed to be more accommodating; he thought for a moment before responding.
"Oh, you are Black Crow, right? I seem to remember that organization moved to Tesk Center about half a year ago due to something."
"Tesk Center?"
Freya quietly noted this name and bowed to the person.
"Alright, thank you for your help. I will remember."
The person did not respond much to Freya's bow; instead, after exchanging a few words with another figure in a black robe, they directly boarded the White Eagle.
Before long, they left the area.
Freya withdrew her gaze only after the two White Eagles had completely turned into two white dots in the distance.
Through this brief exchange, she discovered that the wizards of Cloud City seemed very approachable and had no intention of conflict.
In contrast, in the Dis Mountain Range, such simple inquiries would typically be exchanged only after considerable caution.
Otherwise, the person who just smiled at you might shoot a Spell at you for some unknown reason the next moment.
"This truly is a peaceful region," she sighed inwardly.
However, although this place was very peaceful, it did not mean that the wizards here were weak.
Cloud City is a wizard gathering place even larger than the Dis Mountain Range, rich in resources, and influenced by its environment.
The chances of people here advancing to become wizards are significantly higher compared to those in the Dis Mountain Range.
After all, without resource disputes, the friction between the major powers would also be relatively reduced.
The peaceful environment fosters a culture that is not as harsh as that of the Dis Mountain Range.
Alternatively, Cloud City is a place that is extremely opposite to the Dis Mountain Range.
After a pause, Freya also walked towards her carriage.
Black Crow is another abbreviation for the Rand Family. Since that Black-Robed Wizard mentioned the name of the organization, he certainly wouldn't deceive himself.
Therefore, next, whether for settling in Cloud City or for Lani's matters, she needed to visit a place called Tesk Center.
While on the ship, Freya had learned some geography of Cloud City through Hanks.
According to Tesk Center, in a certain sense, it is one of the most prosperous cities in Cloud City and has become a place where many wizards choose to settle. (To be continued...)
