Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 588 - 5: Murder

Danell was storming down the street, occasionally venting his anger by kicking at tree trunks and walls.

Every time he did so, the toad-like granules on his face would emit a faint green light.

This was one of the side effects of Bloodline Magic transformation.

The inability to control his emotions.

When he arrived at a narrow alley, Danell’s expression suddenly changed, and a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

"Tap tap..."

"Come in!"

Pushing open the door, the Green Dog Brothers were wiping their magic wands and weapons, the elder brother looked up with displeasure:

"Why are you alone?"

"..." Danell opened his mouth:

"Lynn refuses to leave the house no matter what."

"Smack!"

Just as he finished speaking, his cheek was brutally slapped by the younger Green Dog Brother, causing him to stagger backward.

His cheek was searing with pain, swelling visibly fast.

"Useless!"

"Worthless thing!"

The elder brother’s face was sullen:

"We gave you so much time to prepare, yet you still couldn’t lure him out. What’s the use of you!"

"Big brother." The younger brother said in a low voice:

"If you ask me, there’s no need for such hassle. Let’s just storm into that kid’s house and slaughter him."

"Who could know it was us?"

"Hmph!" The elder brother snorted coldly:

"That place isn’t a slum after all, there are quite a few apprentices who came out of the academy living there. Even if it were a slum, doing that would still be dangerous. Are the town’s wizards really just for show?"

With the wizards’ unpredictable methods, if they wanted to investigate, they would definitely find the culprit.

Although a Basic Wizard Apprentice probably wouldn’t cause a wizard to investigate, what if?

He didn’t dare gamble.

Moreover...

Even the weakest academy apprentices know how to set up the most basic Witchcraft Traps; forcibly intruding into a dwelling isn’t wise.

"Gentlemen." Danell licked his lips:

"Because of the black market incident last time, Lynn was scared, so he refuses to leave his house these days."

"No matter who goes to invite him, it’s useless."

"Heh..." The younger brother sneered:

"What a coward."

"What a hassle." The elder brother bowed his head, paused, and then said:

"As long as he needs to live, he’ll have to go out eventually. You stay watch near his house and notify us when he comes out."

"Yes." Danell nodded:

"I’ll keep a close watch on him."

"Um..."

He rubbed his hands together, showing a pleading expression and a flattering tone:

"My potion..."

"Hmph!" The elder brother’s eyes flashed with disdain; he casually took a potion from the drawer beside him and threw it over:

"Use it sparingly, no telling when the next batch will arrive."

"Yes, yes." Danell’s body trembled; he hurriedly caught the potion and impatiently opened the bottle to sniff its scent.

That pungent stench, in his view, was like the world’s best delicacy; every hair relaxed, and the granules and pustules on his face oozed a faint liquid.

"Disgusting!" The younger brother frowned at the sight:

"Get lost!"

"Yes." Danell nodded repeatedly, fawning as he put away the potion, retreating step by step from the room.

He didn’t forget to close the door on his way out.

Clutching the potion, he hurried into the street, intending to find a place to indulge when his body suddenly stiffened.

"Pfft!"

A sword tip protruded from his abdomen, its blood-stained blade reflecting a chilling light; the pain came a moment too late.

"Ah..."

Danell wanted to scream painfully, shout, but for some reason, his body wouldn’t respond at all.

"Thud!"

His vision went black, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

......

In an abandoned room.

A basin of cold water splashed on his face; the icy shock made Danell shudder, slowly opening his eyes.

"Spare me!"

"Spare my life!"

He instinctively pleaded for mercy, and when he saw clearly the figure before him, his eyes widened in terror:

"Lynn!"

"It’s me." Lynn played with the Knight Sword in his hand, crouching in front of him, slowly asked:

"Why do you want to kill me?"

"Misunderstanding." Danell’s face turned pale, he forced a laugh:

"It’s a misunderstanding..."

"Ah!"

Before he could finish, a searing pain engulfed his whole body, like countless ants gnawing at his bones and organs.

Itching, numbness, pain, soreness...

All these sensations surged into his heart, and in the blink of an eye, Danell was sniveling and weeping, utterly wretched.

"Zero Ring Magic - Blood Boiling." Lynn pressed a single hand against him, his expression as calm as ever:

"I have a decent grasp of this magic. If you don’t want to experience that taste again, you’d better answer honestly."

"Speak!"

"Why are you trying to harm me?"

"It’s none of my business, it’s none of my business!" Danell lay on the ground convulsing, growling in a low voice:

"It’s the Green Dog Brothers who are after you. I don’t know the reason, but they promised me a high-concentration of toad poison."

"Lynn."

"Let me go, I’ll do anything you say, I beg you, let me go."

"Green Dog Brothers?" Lynn frowned:

"Why do they want to kill me?"

As for the toad potion...

After being transformed by Bloodline Magic, Danell was addicted to this potion and needed to consume it regularly.

If he didn’t take it for a long time, he would be better off dead.

And a high-concentration toad potion was an irresistible temptation for him; once he tasted it, he could never leave it.

"I don’t know, I really don’t know." Danell hoarsely yelled:

"I know nothing, just that they seemed to say that you offended some big shot at the Academy."

?

Lynn frowned.

A big shot at the Academy?

He didn’t recall ever offending such a person, and people of this stature wouldn’t need such trouble to kill him.

Thinking for a moment, he asked:

"Tell me about the Green Dog Brothers, what’s their cultivation, and what magic or martial arts are they skilled in?"

*

The Green Dog Brothers had been loitering in Vier Town for many years, the most common Wild Wizards, with average cultivation and strength, making a living doing shady business for others.

The elder brother had a gloomy disposition and was brutal in his methods, harboring a penchant for murderous cruelty.

He also liked to play with women.

And he used his abusive methods on women, so very few women could endure it.

Even spending a lot of money, only a few prostitutes, whose sense of pain had been weakened through magical modification, were willing to come.

Night.

A woman, blindfolded with ropes binding her, hung from the rafters, enduring the elder brother’s whipping. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Occasionally, she had to make sounds to please him.

At a certain moment.

The sound in the room suddenly became silent.

The prostitute, hanging upside down, twitched her ears, and hearing no activity, simply shut her mouth.

Probably the client was tired today, not interested in playing more, and she didn’t want to waste energy either.

Little did she know.

At this moment, the Green Dog elder brother lay on the ground, a blood mark on his forehead, eyes lifeless and already dead.

In the next room.

The younger brother, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, instinctively reaching for a magic item placed on his chest.

Immediately, his breathing hitched:

"Brother!"

He was connected by bloodline with his brother and had also used magic to link their auras to some extent.

As his brother faced danger,

he would also feel it.

"Bang!"

Before his shout fell, the windowpane suddenly shattered, and a shadow holding a Knight Sword came whirling in like a gust of wind.

Gale Swordsmanship!

"Knight?"

The younger brother sneered, reaching to grab the bed plank beside him and throwing it, simultaneously lunging for his weapon, the sledgehammer.

A knight dared to assassinate a Great Knight.

Simply courting death!

"Bang!"

The bed plank shattered, and the sword light cleaved down.

"Clang..."

The sledgehammer clashed with the Knight Sword, sparking some scattered sparks. Wearing only shorts, the younger brother’s forehead veins throbbed, as he gave a low growl and swung the sledgehammer, launching a mighty attack.

Martial Arts - Barbaric Charge!

"Boom!"

A burst of flame suddenly bloomed in front of his eyes, the Knight Sword in front of him lightly trembling, its blade sweeping through the flames, and suddenly increasing in speed.

"Sizzle..."

Like a streak of fire, it instantly pierced through the younger brother’s heart.

Secret Skill - Instant Stab!

The Green Dog Brothers,

dead!
