“And they all targeted geniuses in magic tool creation or runes?”

Hearing this, Ariel could not help but frown, “Has anyone seen what that person looked like?”

“It’s said that it is a Half-Elf Sorcerer,” that Sorcerer said as he waved his hand.

An image appeared before their eyes, showing a Half-Elf young woman.

The Half-Elf young woman looked quite beautiful; it was just that her expression was quite cold, as if she did not care about anything.

“Half-Elf…”

Seeing the young woman’s appearance, almost everyone quickly recognized her features and frowned.

“Very good.”

Charlie frowned as he felt immense fury, “Even trash like Half-Elves dare to bully my student. I’m going to capture her and use her blood and flesh to feed my magic tools in order to vent my anger!”

“Charlie, calm down.”

Compared to Charlie, Ariel was much calmer.

She looked at Charlie and asked softly, “Don’t you think this Half-Elf’s origins are quite strange? When has a Half-Elf Sorcerer ever appeared in this region?”

The Sorcerer circle was very small and tight-knit.

No matter who it was, all Sorcerers needed large amounts of resources and knowledge to grow.

In order to obtain these things, Sorcerers had to interact with other Sorcerers in the process.

Under normal circumstances, it was very rare for a Third Rank Apprentice to grow without anyone else knowing about them.

After all, even though Sorcerers themselves were secretive, the large amount of magic skill frameworks and resources they needed could not just come out of thin air.

For a Third Rank Apprentice who was almost a true Sorcerer to appear out of nowhere, that was incomprehensible.

Moreover, that person was a Half-Elf.

From Ariel’s memory, in this entire region, there were not any Elf Sorcerers.

There were very few Elf groups in this region, perhaps only a few hundred in total. They all hid in secret domains and lived seclusive lives.

Half-Elves were even rarer; after all, even though Elves and Humans could have children, it was incredibly difficult.

This made Half-Elves incredibly rare, and they numbered far fewer than Elves.

As such, for such a powerful Half-Elf to appear out of nowhere, this did not seem normal as well.

Where had this person come from, and what was her goal?

Various questions flashed in Ariel’s mind.

Thinking about these things, Ariel could not help but frown.

Looking at the irate Charlie, she continued to speak, “Don’t worry, Charlie. From the information we have, even though that person has been capturing genius students, she does not kill them. In the end, all of the kidnapped students were sent back.

“Based on this, it does not seem that Ed will be in danger.”

“Information is just information.”

Hearing Ariel’s words, Charlie calmed down a bit, but he shook his head, “Moreover, are we to just put our hopes in that person’s benevolence and hope that they will act decently?

“If they really act against Ed and we hesitate, we will lose any hope of saving Ed.”

“That’s naturally not what I mean,” Ariel said as she shook her head, “Regardless of whether that person will release Ed, to dare to publicly kidnap our academy’s student, this is a provocation to the Hunter’s House. We will not forgive such a thing.

“It’s just that in order to not make the other side feel threatened, and thus put Ed into danger, we need to be careful so that they will not notice.”

Hearing her words, Charlie paused for a moment before nodding, “I admit, what you said is true. How should we act?”

“First, we need to put a bounty on this person and respond just as the other academies did so that the other side won’t suspect that there is anything off,” Ariel said after thinking for a moment, “Following this, we shouldn’t send too many Apprentices to try to get Chen Heng back so as not to aggravate them.

“The true rescue will be the two of us.”

Speaking to there, a cold look appeared on her face, “I’ll go ask a few Sorcerers to use their magic skills to track that Half-Elf Sorcerer. If we can find her, we will immediately act and capture her. We can also ask the other academies to try.”

Charlie thought to himself for a moment before saying, “Those academies’ students have also been kidnapped before, so perhaps they will have some useful information.”

“Indeed,” Ariel nodded.

………….

Following this, the two of them left and began to act.

…

“So it’s here?” Chen Heng looked ahead as he asked.

He was looking at a cliff.

This cliff looked quite normal, and there was nothing special about it.

Yana stood in front of Chen Heng, looking at the cliff with a serious expression.

“It’s here.”

She turned as she looked at Chen Heng and said calmly, “There is a hidden entrance on this cliff. As for where it is specifically, I’m not sure. That is why I brought you here.”

Hearing this, Chen Heng did not say anything else and only looked at Yana before slowly walking forwards.

After reaching the cliff, he put his hand against the cliff.

A rough and crude feeling could be felt in his palm. He did not feel like he was touching rock but tree bark.

Chen Heng felt quite surprised and began to closely observe.

As he looked about, he found that some things were not ordinary.

There were many places where runes had been left behind.

Those places had been hidden well, but after much time, traces had been revealed, allowing Chen Heng to discover them.

As such, Chen Heng thought for a moment before acting.

He did not lack any tools.

For some reason, even though Yana did not know much about runes, she had all of the required tools.

It seemed that she was quite experienced and came fully prepared.

Looking at the items she took out, Chen Heng looked somewhat surprised.

“These were the things that the fellows from before asked for,” Yana said softly after seeing Chen Heng’s confused expression.

“So it’s like that,” Chen Heng nodded.

It seemed that there had been other unfortunate people before him who had also been captured by Yana.

He wondered what the outcomes of those people had been.

However, those people most likely had not been able to find the door.

Otherwise, the Half-Elf young woman would not have had to capture him.

“Remember your promise,” Chen Heng said before moving.

He moved very quickly, hurrying about.

During this process, Yana sat by the side and observed.

“It’s looking good.”

Watching Chen Heng’s actions, in Yana’s mind, that voice once again sounded out, “This child’s abilities are much better than those other Apprentices. Even within the Elf race, he would be one of the top. He is definitely a true genius.”

The voice spoke with a tone of great appreciation.

“It’s not just runes and Sorcerer Formations,” Yana said, “He also learns magic skills very quickly. He has already completely grasped the magic skill I taught him before. The only thing he is limited by is his magic power.

“After he has enough magic power, he will be able to construct the magic skill framework and use it. Among humans, this kind of talent should make him a true genius,” she said softly.

“I remember back then, it took me three years to learn this magic skill framework.”

“It’s not just among humans.”

In Yana’s mind, the voice once again sounded out with a sigh, “Among all races, this child can be counted as a genius. He is one of the most talented Apprentices I have ever seen.”

The voice sighed and said with some sorrow, “It’s a pity… the pathway to the outer world from this region has been blocked.

“No matter how good his talent is, he can only remain in this region and cannot leave.

“If he stays in this region, no matter how good his talent is, he will be limited and will only be able to become a true Sorcerer. It will be incredibly difficult for him to go any further,” she said softly.

The Half-Elf young woman nodded.

She was not a native to this region and instead came from another place.

Compared to this region, the region that the Half-Elf young woman came from was more prosperous, and the Sorcerers were more powerful.

After coming from that region to this region, she had quickly felt the difference.

Many of the common magic skills in other regions were not spread here or had not been invented yet.

Even though this region had Sorcerer legacies, from how the Half-Elf young woman saw it, they were quite behind and crude.

Third Rank Apprentices and true Sorcerers here were all much weaker.

This was why she was able to suppress other Third Rank Apprentices even though she was only a Third Rank Apprentice herself and kidnap Chen Heng.

The gap in civilization and skills resulted in this.

As such, looking at Chen Heng busying about, she felt that it was a pity.

From how she saw it, if a genius like Chen Heng was born in the region she was from, his future would definitely be much brighter.

However, in this region, he would be limited to just being an ordinary Sorcerer.

Thinking to there, she inwardly shook her head.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, the sky began to darken, and only then did Chen Heng stop.

“I have a good idea of it now.”

Looking at Yana, Chen Heng nodded and said, “I should be done within five days.”

“He can actually do it.”

Hearing the confidence in Chen Heng’s voice, Yana felt quite surprised.

Even though she had great confidence in Chen Heng’s talent, she had never thought that he would be able to confirm this so quickly.

“Five days? That’s good.” Yana nodded.

Following this, she brought Chen Heng over to a campfire.

In front of the campfire, she gave Chen Heng some information, such as some magic skills’ basic knowledge and principles.

This was what they had agreed on.

Chen Heng’s task was to undo those runes and Sorcerer Formations for her, while Yana would pass him information and knowledge.

Yana did not break her promise, and she would earnestly teach him every night.

“What a complete structure of knowledge, and this system…”

After the lessons for one day, Chen Heng walked to the side and thought of the things that Yana had taught him.

From how he saw it, much of the information that Yana had taught him was quite deep and profound, and some areas were much more complete than what Chen Heng had learned.

There was a big gap.

This was evidently not something that Yana had worked out for herself but most likely came from wherever she was from.

What Chen Heng was confused about was this.

This region had a very small Sorcerer circle and there were not many Sorcerer academies.

If an academy had such a complete structure of knowledge, there was no way the Hunter’s House would not know about it.

No progress in knowledge could happen overnight; it had to happen over a long period of time.

As such, for this Half-Elf young woman to have so much knowledge and magic skills, Chen Heng felt it was quite strange.

He felt more and more curious about Yana’s background.

He had many guesses, but he was unable to verify them.

Under these circumstances, he could only try to learn as much as possible from her and make it his own.

Time gradually passed.

Soon, it had been five days.

Through Chen Heng’s efforts, changes began to appear on the cliff.

After Chen Heng activated one final rune, a set of formless doors appeared.

“It’s done.”

Standing in front of the cliff and looking at the doors, Chen Heng wiped away the sweat on his head and softly spoke.

Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Yana looked over.

“He actually did it.”

The voice in her mind said in amazement, “Looks like our trip was quite successful.”

Yana nodded.

In actuality, they had already put in a great amount of effort in order to activate this Sorcerer Formation.

They had captured almost all geniuses here to try to activate the Sorcerer Formation.

If Chen Heng could not do it, they could only try to think of ways to capture true Sorcerers.

However, that would have been quite problematic. After all, true Sorcerers were not as easy to deal with as Apprentices.

Putting aside if they could capture a true Sorcerer, making them cooperate would be very difficult, and they could not protect the location of this place.

Before releasing the Apprentices they had captured before, they had used special magic skills to wipe part of their memories so they could not remember where this place was.

However, this would not be very viable against true Sorcerers.,

It could be said that Chen Heng had helped them greatly.

Now, they did not have to take a risk to capture a true Sorcerer.

Thinking to there, a slight smile appeared even on Yana’s face.

As such, she slowly walked towards the door.

As a light flashed, her figure slowly disappeared.

Looking at Yana’s body disappear, Chen Heng inwardly frowned and hesitated.

“Should I go in? Or…” he frowned as he thought to himself.

Now that Yana had gone in and he was left outside, he did not have to worry about her continuing to control him.

According to their agreement, after opening this historical remnant, he could leave.
