  The next second, a black lightning flashed through the blood-red shadow and pierced through the snow-white neck of the short girl Brandi. It was Richard's steel arrow. Brandi covered her neck tightly, but her body tilted and she fell to the ground.

  But the bloody shadow seemed to be completely unaffected by physical attacks. Richard's arrow seemed to be shooting into the air, without any blocking effect at all.

  When Ophelia turned around, she saw a bloody shadow rushing towards her with a terrified look on his face.

  "Blood curse!"

  Suddenly, a strange green light burst out from Ophelia's chest, blocking the bloody human-shaped mist outside.

  As time passed, the power of the blood-red human-shaped mist became weaker and weaker, and the originally lifelike and ferocious face of the short girl Brandi gradually became blurred. After a few seconds, the blood-red human-shaped mist was unable to enter Ophelia's body, and finally slowly dissipated into the air.

  Ophelia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the necklace on her chest. She thought she was going to be cursed by the other party's blood feud, but fortunately the protective necklace given by her mother played a protective role.

  When Richard saw this, he finally let go of his worry. He originally thought that Ophelia would suffer the same fate as Andrea. Looking at the strange appearance of this bloody humanoid mist, if he was contaminated by it, something extremely bad would definitely happen.

  "Ophelia, are you okay?" Richard stepped forward and comforted her.

  "I'm fine. Fortunately, I have the protective necklace my mother gave me. Otherwise, I would have been cursed by Brandi's blood curse, and I would have been in trouble." Ophelia shook her head, signaling Richard not to worry about her.

  Blood curse, as soon as Richard heard it, he knew why Ophelia had just mentioned trouble.

  Generally speaking, when it comes to curses, none of them can be easily eliminated, especially the kind released by the short girl before she died, which is a fusion of her own blood and part of her soul, making it extremely difficult to resist.

  It seems that the protective necklace Ophelia just wore should be considered a top-level item among witchcraft props. It might even be a low-level magical weapon, otherwise it would not spontaneously turn on the green light to protect the wearer. In this case, Ophelia's origin is not simple.

  Maybe he is the offspring of a wizard family.

  "By the way, check on Andrea."

  Thinking of Andrea who was injured before, Richard quickly called Ophelia who had not yet recovered from her shock and came to Andrea's side.

  The two of them saw that Andrea's mental state was fine, but his body was invaded by severe cold air. His face was purple in color, and his whole body was emitting faint chills that were visible to the naked eye.

  "What? What happened? I'm fine!" Andrea was shivering with cold, and it took him a long time to finish a sentence.

  "Don't talk for now, let Ophelia treat you." Richard patted Andrea's shoulder, but the surface temperature of the heavy knight's shoulder armor was extremely low, and Richard's palm almost stuck to it.

  This is similar to the situation in the extremely cold weather in the north in the past, when one licked iron products with the tongue, they would stick to them.

  Ophelia immediately used herbal healing to treat the disease. Green spots of light gathered from the surroundings and gathered on Ophelia's white palms. After a while, they condensed into a ball of mist emitting green light.

  Ophelia gently placed the mist emitting green light on Andrea's head.

  As the green mist seeped into Andrea's body, he seemed to feel much better.

  His face was no longer so grim, and had a little bit of redness, but the effect was not as good as Richard expected, and Andrea became full of energy.

  "The injury is quite serious. Even if I treat him three times a day, it will take at least three days for Andrea to recover her combat effectiveness." Ophelia said with a worried look on her face.

  Richard fell into deep thought when he heard it. There were three of them in his group, and Andrea could be said to have lost her combat effectiveness. If she wanted to continue to earn points, it seemed very difficult now, because there were some scattered fishmen warriors, cavemen and so on, and the points were too few, which Richard looked down upon.

  But if they encounter powerful monsters like large groups of murlocs or petrified lizards, it would be quite dangerous for Richard and Ophelia alone.

  Moreover, as the underground races have been almost wiped out, the probability of encountering opponents from other academies has also increased rapidly. If a conflict occurs, Richard does not think that he and Ophelia can defeat the opponent's team of four or five people, such as the purple-haired boy, and the third-level wizard apprentices who have not appeared.

  In addition, there is another important reason, that is, he was vaguely worried about the sequelae of killing the red-haired girl Jenna, because at present, it is quite clear that there should be at least one official wizard behind Jenna who values ​​her very much.

  What Richard is not sure about now is how much the other party values ​​Jenna. If it is just a superficial concern, then the matter will basically just pass. But if it is more serious, he will continue to investigate the matter, which will be troublesome.  

  First of all, even if he sent the marked sword and shield skeleton back to the world of the dead, making it so that the other party could not sense the location of the mark, if the other party came in person, or looked for a formal wizard of the prophecy system, he could be found through clues at the scene.

  After all, the methods of formal wizards are strange and unpredictable. For example, the witching time can go back to see the images that happened here in a certain period of time before. For example, the prophecy wizard can predict Jenna's murderer through an inconspicuous item here.

  If Richard left obvious items such as blood, hair or skin fragments, the prophecy wizard could even easily lock onto Richard directly.

  Secondly, the living people here, besides him, include Ophelia and Andrea.

  Even if Richard could keep it a secret, if the other party found out about Ophelia and Andrea, would they still keep the secret under pressure?

  Richard thought he shouldn't hold out too much hope for such a test of human nature.

  So based on the above two points, Richard was still quite nervous and wanted to back out. After returning, he could ask Teacher Ceres indirectly to see if there was any way to remove the mark or avoid being found by the prophecy wizard.

  After all, he won the top position among freshmen and demonstrated his talent in alchemy, all for the purpose of getting the protection of his mentor and the school in the current situation.

  As long as the other party cannot provide substantial evidence, nothing will happen to me.

  "Why don't we go back now!" Richard thought about it and made a decision.

  "Ah? You don't have to give up the mission jointly organized by the three colleges just for me. This is really a rare opportunity!" When Andrea heard this, she thought that Richard gave up the clearing mission because of him, and she was immediately moved to tears.

  As the Duke's illegitimate son, although the butler and maids always treated him with great respect, other noble heirs of his age often talked about and slandered him behind his back, especially those who were close to the Duke's direct line. Therefore, Andrea had few friends since he was a child.

  This is also why he agreed to team up with Ram, who was much weaker than him, and also rejected the invitation to team up with a second-level wizard apprentice who was obviously much stronger than Ram, because he thought Ram was his friend.

  Ophelia on the side also stared at Richard blankly, as if she had never expected that Richard was such a kind-hearted person. In order to escort Andrea back to the school, he was willing to give up the opportunity to continue earning points and exchange for rare potions and top-level witchcraft props!

  If this was really the case, Ophelia felt that she really had to look at Richard with a new eye!

  Richard was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Andrea to be so moved. However, he immediately understood the reason and smiled faintly: "What are you thinking about? If it weren't for the possibility that Jenna's people would come to my door, I would definitely choose to continue the clearing mission."

  Although Richard said this, Andrea was still deeply moved, and Ophelia obviously didn't believe it.

  The same thought occurred to both of them at the same time. Although Richard was a bit sinister and cunning, he was still a very considerate friend!

  If Richard knew that his truthful explanation would have such an effect, he wouldn't know how he would feel.

  "Richard, don't worry. If anyone asks me about the situation, I will never reveal a single thing!" Andrea said with a serious expression.

  "Me too, Richard. I will never tell anyone," said Ophelia.

  When Richard heard this, his heart instantly warmed, but he was aware that even if two people had the intention, sometimes they might not have the strength to do so.

  The abilities of wizards are strange and complex. Even for a formal wizard, it is very simple to use mental power to violently search the memory of an ordinary person's brain. An apprentice only needs to put in a little more effort.

  As far as Richard knew, there were many kinds of witchcraft similar to truth telling.

  So, Richard smiled and said nothing.

  However, since he had decided to withdraw to the school's headquarters, Richard planned to hurry up and pack up the spoils.

  According to Ophelia, the three people killed in the Ring of North were all masters among the freshmen of the other academy in the past one or two years, especially the red-haired girl Jenna. After entering the Ring of North last year, it is said that she was promoted to the second-level wizard apprentice in just ten months. She is an absolute genius.

  Thinking about it this way, the genius must have a lot of good things, so Richard started searching from Jenna.

  After a search, in addition to hundreds of magic stones, a bag of unknown dark crystals, and a large number of murloc eyeballs, dorsal fins and other raw materials collected before, Jenna also had a thick dark red cover book, which instantly attracted Richard's attention.
