Chapter 98: Grab time

Mo Fan's situation was the same as in the original novel. He was attacked by monsters while passing through the tunnel.

However, because Mingzhu Academy was relatively united, and the strength of these monsters was not too terrifying, both sides suffered no losses, and only a few students were slightly injured.

After passing through the tunnel, they arrived at Jinlin City, the destination of this training.
The desolate and solemn scene made everyone alert.

This is the wilderness, not a safe place. If something happens here, no one will come to rescue you.

The previous warnings from Dean Tang Longhui and Songhe were still useful.

The team has not split yet.

There was just a disagreement on how to conduct the site inspection.

Most people were in favor of working together, but a few people, such as Mo Fan, thought they could try to let the stronger people go out alone to scout the spots and draw.

After all, they are now in the wild, and staying there longer means more danger.

Besides, in the wild, the more people there are, the better. On the contrary, if there are too many people, they will be targeted by groups of monsters.

However, the majority rule applies. In the end, everyone decided to join a group to check out the spots first. If time becomes urgent later, it won’t be too late to check out the spots separately.

After all, most of them have never hunted monsters in the wild. They just go to the wild to feel the atmosphere.

If a few strong people are allowed to leave the team, the remaining people will feel insecure, and it will be hard to say what will happen then.

Since everyone has made the decision, Mo Fan can't say anything.

However, they didn't expect that they were targeted by another monster. If it weren't for another commander-level monster that killed that monster, they would have lost several people.

This incident made everyone realize that it is not advisable to stick together for warmth.

Finally, at Mingzhu Academy, Mu Nujiao considered that Mo Fan should have no problem with self-protection since he was born with dual abilities, so she let Mo Fan go alone to investigate the situation.

As for the Imperial Capital Academy, Mu Ningxue was sent out alone to investigate the situation.

After all, Mu Ningxue is the strongest in their team, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to conduct a solo exploration.

Everything that happened later proved that this strategy was absolutely correct. Although the strategy of dividing the troops had the possibility of being defeated one by one, they were not fighting against monsters now, so the strategy of dividing the troops could protect the vitality of the team to the greatest extent.

As a result, the team that huddled together for warmth encountered harassment from the bewitching water magic bead, which eventually led to infighting.

If Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue hadn't acted in time, there would probably be even more casualties.

A general-level monster caused heavy losses to everyone, and many people have already considered retreating.

Even though incomplete data collection would result in failure of the training, many people did not want to stay here any longer.

But now they can't just leave whenever they want, because someone has already set their sights on them.
While Mo Fan was training in the wild, Tang Longhui received a notice from the Imperial Capital Trial Council.

They found Lu Nian's trace.

"President Qian, have you found Lu Nian's whereabouts? How did you find him? Didn't you say before that you couldn't find him for the time being?"

Tang Longhui asked in confusion.

Originally, Tang Longhui had already prepared himself to return empty-handed in the imperial capital.

"In fact, we didn't find any trace of him. It was Dean Songhe of the Imperial Capital Academy who told us."

"Who are you talking about? Dean Songhe?"

Tang Longhui suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Yeah, what's wrong? He told us that Lu Nian is likely to appear near Jinlin City. I'm telling you now, should we arrest Lu Nian in Jinlin City?"

"Bastard!"

Tang Longhui slapped President Qian's desk angrily.

"What is the relationship between Dean Songhe and Lu Nian? Didn't the Inquisition issue a warrant for his arrest? Why is he still in contact with Lu Nian? And he even told him the location of the students' training this time."

Thinking about Lu Nian's plan, Tang Longhui immediately realized that Lu Nian must have set his sights on several geniuses in the training team.

The target is most likely Mu Ningxue or Mo Fan.

However, Mo Fan is the most likely candidate, because Mu Ningxue is from the Mu family after all, and Lu Nian used her for human experiments. Unless he really doesn't plan to stay in the country, under the double stranglehold of the Inquisition and the Mu family, he won't be able to find peace even if he flees abroad.

If it were Mo Fan, he was born with dual talents after all, and was more talented than Mu Ningxue. Moreover, Mo Fan had no background, he did not belong to any force, and was at most a student of Mingzhu Academy.

If other forces dare to attack Mo Fan, Mingzhu Academy will definitely retaliate.

After all, this is an indirect slap in the face of Mingzhu Academy. If they can't even protect their own students, how can they talk about being a top-notch institution?

But now Lu Nian is a wanted criminal. Even if Mingzhu Academy wants to take revenge, there is nowhere to do it.

So in summary, Mo Fan is the best target. As for the others,
It is very possible that Lu Nian killed them all. After all, this man is now a madman.

“You know, Xiao Tang, many people were optimistic about Lu Nian’s plan at the beginning. After all, his theory is correct. Aren’t many of our current legal systems created by our predecessors?
If we can really create a unique magic system, then our chances of humans defeating monsters will be greatly improved.

It is understandable to sacrifice some people now for future success. But, alas, this kid crossed the bottom line.

No matter what, you can't joke about a wizard's life."

At this point, President Qian sighed. As the president of the Imperial Capital Tribunal, he naturally knew about the experiment conducted by Lu Nian. In fact, he was quite optimistic about Lu Nian's plan at that time.

After all, if humans were to awaken another system, the bonus would be enormous.

Who could have thought that Lu Nian would eventually go crazy and conduct human experiments recklessly, resulting in the deaths of many young and promising mages.

This is crossing the bottom line.

As I said before, all experiments must be voluntary. Lu Nian's practice of directly arresting people and even brainwashing them is something that the Inquisition and other senior officials cannot tolerate.

This is why I issued a wanted warrant for Lu Nian, but to be honest, as long as Lu Nian does not conduct any more related experiments in the future, Lu Nian's safety can still be guaranteed.

After all, Lu Nian's actions were just too crazy and his experiments were too cruel, but his starting point itself was not wrong.

Giving him a wanted warrant is more of a warning to him. If he chooses to stay quietly and not do anything stupid, the Tribunal will actually be too lazy to mobilize people to hunt him down.

After all, people are studying this legal system for the sake of humanity, and if they do this, it will dishearten other researchers.

Researching a new field itself involves unknown risks, and sometimes even radical measures have to be taken.

Giving Lu Nian a wanted warrant is actually a disguised warning, and that is enough.

But if we send people to hunt him down, it will be seen by others as a murder to silence him, like someone being hunted down after being discovered while doing a secret business.

“But now Lu Nian has set his sights on Mo Fan. Not only Mo Fan, but even the other mages in the team may be killed by him.

What on earth is Dean Songhe doing?
If something really happened.

Not to mention his position as president, he himself must be imprisoned in the prison of the Inquisition."

Tang Longhui really couldn't figure out what this old man was trying to do.

Doesn't he know that Lu Nian is crazy now?
He actually told that bastard Lu Nian the location of the training. What was he planning to do?
Let’s take a gamble and see if Lu Nian still has a conscience?

"Don't say anything. I request that President Qian immediately mobilize some people to go to Jinlin City with me. We must protect Mo Fan before Lu Nian arrives.

They can no longer carry out this experience.

At the same time, just in case, I asked President Qian to apply to the headquarters to send a super-class magician to monitor and even control Dean Songhe.

No matter what his reasons are, Lu Nian is still on the wanted list.

Not only did he not report this kind of person in time, he even told the other party the student's training location.

If he doesn't explain clearly, Mingzhu Academy will definitely seek justice for him.

I will definitely get to the bottom of this myself.”

Tang Longhui said seriously.

Speaking of which, Dean Songhe is actually a good wizard.

At least in terms of dealing with people and treating aristocratic families, he did what a dean should do to a utmost. However, his behavior made Tang Longhui very dissatisfied.

He didn't believe that Dean Songhe didn't know about the crazy things Lu Nian had done.

Even if we take a step back and think that Lu Nian has not changed that quickly, he should at least send someone to protect Mo Fan and the others, right?

But the news Tang Longhui received was that although the Imperial Capital Academy did send teachers to provide protection, they were very far away.

Even if he was close, so what? Don't forget that Lu Nian was a genuine, veteran, high-level mage.

It’s not that Tang Longhui looks down on the teachers in the academy, but these teachers have been teaching in the academy for many years and their practical abilities have already declined greatly.

There is no advantage against a veteran high-level mage like Lu Nian, not to mention that he has an elite team of mid-level mages under him.
With this configuration, not to mention whether the team in the school exchange competition can withstand it, even the teachers in the school can't withstand it.

"Don't worry, Xiao Tang. I will immediately apply to the headquarters to send a super-class mage to keep an eye on Dean Songhe.
I will lead the team myself. If Dean Songhe runs away, I will give you an explanation.

As for the rescuers, you can choose them yourself. The judges here are all trustworthy."

Even though Dean Songhe had his own plans and even trusted Lu Nian, this had violated the principles of the trial.
As long as Mo Fan is still a Chinese, he should not be affected by this internal struggle.

Even though Mo Fan didn't have any background,
"Okay, thank you, President Qian."

Tang Long would immediately use his connections with the Imperial Capital Tribunal to charter an emergency plane from the Imperial Capital Airport to the city next to Jinlin City. At the same time, he would notify the Demon Capital Tribunal to immediately send a magician to Jinlin City.

Now we have to race against time and make sure to get to Jinlin City before Lu Nian arrives.

Or save as many people as possible.

After all, there are more than ten people. As long as they are smart and escape separately, or if all else fails, they can escape to a place where there are many monsters, there will always be a chance to survive.
