A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 434 Wait and see what happens

Bridal took the lead, walked to the front of the boulder, and then reached out and pressed his hand on it. The moment his hand touched the surface of the boulder, it suddenly flashed with light, and then a crack appeared on the surface of the boulder, which then opened to both sides.

Once the door was fully open, Bridal turned around and said, "Let's go!"

With that, he went inside and disappeared into the boulder in the blink of an eye. Chao Bufan, arms crossed, expressionless, went in second. Dosru and Curry exchanged a glance, then followed. Fenrit hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "What a bunch of reckless, fearless bastards! Every time I'm with you guys, I have to be on my deathbed. I'm truly impressed!"

Although his tone carried a hint of reproach, it was mostly replaced by excitement. As he spoke, he was the last to go in, and soon the boulder returned to normal.

The instant the gate to the megalith disappeared, Professor Warlock, Professor Alpha, and others suddenly appeared in front of the megalith.

"Who gave these ignorant brats the audacity to act so recklessly?" Professor Alpha shouted angrily.

"Should we go in and stop them?" Professor Mihir asked.

Professor Warlock smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush, let's wait and see!"

"Professor Warlock, aren't you worried about their safety?" Professor Alpha asked in surprise. "They're going to represent our magic academy in the competition in just a few days. What will we do to explain to the headmaster if something goes wrong?"

This is a very serious problem. The college has high hopes for them, and if anything goes wrong before the competition, the college's plans will be completely ruined. As they spoke, the other two professors also turned their gazes to Professor Warlock's face.

Professor Warlock showed no sign of tension; on the contrary, he appeared very relaxed and natural. He smiled and said, "We don't know much about the others, but don't you know this kid? With him around, what do we have to worry about?"

“That’s precisely why we’re worried,” Professor Grace said. “Others can get into trouble, but he can’t. If something were to happen to him, wouldn’t our plans be in jeopardy—”

Professor Warlock quickly interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry, I have a lot of confidence in this kid. Let them suffer a bit first, then we can go in later."

Upon hearing this, Professor Alpha and the other two said nothing more, and all four turned their gazes toward the depths of the forest.

A few seconds later, Professor Grace asked, "What do you think was that strange noise coming from Magic Canyon just now? Could it have been caused by those ignorant brats?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Warlock and the others immediately adopted serious expressions.

"First it was the Mengka Giant, then the Osirar Beast, then the Fire Wolf King, and finally the Ground Dragon. Judging from their voices, they all seem very angry. What's going on?" Professor Alpha said with a furrowed brow and an unusually serious expression.

"It shouldn't be," Warlock wasn't sure either. After all, the anomaly coming from Magic Canyon came too suddenly, without any warning. The headmaster was very shocked, thinking that something was wrong with Magic Canyon, which is why he ordered Professor Warlock and the others to quickly go to Magic Canyon to investigate. They just happened to get here and saw Chao Bufan and the others enter the eighth-grade training area, so they stopped, which led to this conversation. He looked serious, his brows furrowed, and said, "With their strength, let alone angering them, it's a question of whether they can even enter Magic Canyon."

"Then what exactly is going on? Why are they suddenly angry for no reason?" Professor Grace asked, puzzled.

All four of them felt heavy-hearted. This inexplicable disturbance had caught them off guard, yet they hesitated, seemingly concerned about something.

“What could anger Voldemort is no ordinary matter. We must not rush in to investigate, lest we anger them again—” Professor Warlock said worriedly. It seemed that they were very afraid of Voldemort, after all, they were the guardian “divine beasts” of the Magic Forest. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “For now, we can only wait and see.”

Aside from observing the situation, they couldn't think of a better solution for the time being. After all, the Magic Canyon was fraught with taboos, and not just anyone could enter. Even with their combined strength, they would have to be extremely cautious to get in smoothly; a slight mistake could cost them their lives. Moreover, the four guardian "divine beasts" inside were all unpredictable and formidable characters. Even Principal Smith wouldn't dare to offend them easily and had to show them deference, let alone the four of them. They were well aware of this.

"Do you think this is the work of people from the Black Magic Forest?" Professor Alpha asked.

Upon hearing this, Professor Warlock frowned and shook his head, saying, "That's impossible. If it were someone from the Black Magic Forest causing trouble, the commotion wouldn't be like this."

“Besides, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to openly provoke us,” Professor Grace said.

The four were completely baffled, unable to figure out what had gone wrong in the forest that had angered the four guardian beasts. However, their anger was only brief, and they soon fell silent again.

“Instead of waiting and seeing, we might as well take a bold step and see what’s going on inside. That way, we’ll feel more at ease,” Professor Michel said.

“Very well,” Professor Warlock said with a helpless expression, “then let’s give it a try!”

Professor Alpha and Professor Grace nodded in unison in agreement.

Immediately, all four extended their right hands, palms facing upwards, and a magic wand appeared in their palms. They grasped the wands, then raised them simultaneously, chanting the same incantation—

"Aga la hu ha sa—"

As the short incantation was finished, the magic wands in the hands of the four people simultaneously emitted a beam of eerie green light, as if the magic wands were projecting a clear forest scene in front of them.

As the four moved their magic wands in different directions, the scene changed accordingly, reflecting different parts of the forest like a mirror.

A moment later, the four of them chanted the same incantation at the same time, the image disappeared, and then the four of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

“Strange—there’s nothing unusual about the forest, and they’re not behaving strangely. So what was with their anger earlier?” Professor Warlock said, extremely puzzled.
