"Smack!"
A delicate white hand suddenly came down above the crow, easily grasped by it, and the Purple Flame quickly extinguished as the hand extended.
Standing in place, Freya watched as Black Crow struggled in her grasp.
But before she could make any move, the crow let out a hiss and transformed into a mass of liquid black smoke that flowed through the gaps in her hand.
"Destroying the evidence?"
Freya frowned slightly and reached out again while the black smoke had not yet touched the ground.
"Poof."
A light sound was made as her palm sank into the black smoke, as if she had touched something. Freya immediately withdrew her hand.
Ignoring the remaining black smoke dissipating, Freya opened her palm to reveal a simple sketch-like Eagle Head emblem.
"Blue Eagle Nest? These guys..."
Upon seeing this emblem, Freya immediately Understood its origin.
Blue Eagle Nest was a Wizarding Organization near Katia City, and before Freya arrived here, they were in a hostile relationship with the stationed wizards of Saradin.
During the time when Sara the Wizard was unable to appear due to experimental side effects, they had repeatedly kidnapped stationed apprentices using their affiliated Red Eagle Organization to extort ransom.
However, now that Saradin had mostly recovered from its side effects, it was initially thought that the people of Blue Eagle Nest would be more restrained. To her surprise, they were directly using biological control Spells to continuously monitor every move here.
"Don't these people fear attracting the attention of the academy headquarters?" Lightly wiping away the marks on her hand, Freya found it hard to comprehend their intentions.
Even though the wizards at Katia Outpost were weak, if the station suffered any serious losses that drew the attention of the academy headquarters, eliminating these guys would only take a matter of minutes.
"Or do they have some backing?" Freya speculated randomly. Her gaze swept over the area around the villa; it seemed that besides this monitoring crow, there were no other similar Spells present.
Although this conflict belonged to the stationed wizards and local Wizard Organizations, Freya, as a member of the stationed wizards, could not afford to be indifferent if anything went wrong at the station. Therefore, if Blue Eagle Nest made any further moves, she would definitely take action.
She carefully scanned the area again. Confirming there were no hidden dangers, she then proceeded in the direction of her original plan.
Twenty minutes later.
Outside the spacious pharmacy, Freya walked out holding a black package.
This time, in addition to purchasing some substitutes for the consumed Azure Tranquil Grass, she also bought some other secondary materials as backups. Although they were just ordinary herbs, they still cost her quite a few gold coins.
Gently weighing the package in her hands, Freya revealed a satisfied expression.
"With this and the remaining materials in the villa, I estimate I can use them for another three or four times. If everything goes as planned, by the time I return to the academy in about six months, I can fully focus on finding resources for the Promotion Array."
If things developed as Freya envisioned, she would be able to attempt to advance to Official Wizard within two years.
However, just as she was contemplating future matters, a young man dressed in silver-white Leather Armor with a longsword hanging at his waist approached her directly. He was quite handsome, resembling a prince from a fairy tale, with a warm smile on his face, yet his gaze was fixed on Freya.
Freya frowned slightly at being suddenly stared at. This road led to the noble residential area, and aside from the occasional passing carriage, there weren't many pedestrians.
"Excuse me, miss, you look just like a friend of mine. Coincidentally, I have two meal vouchers for Yegor Restaurant that are about to expire. Would you be interested in joining me for lunch?" The young man suddenly spoke to Freya. His voice was magnetic, and combined with his striking appearance, it could easily charm an ordinary girl.
However, this clumsy pick-up line seemed somewhat ridiculous in Freya's eyes; if she considered her real age, she was likely over ten years older than him.
"I'm sorry, I have other matters to attend to. If possible, you can find someone else to use those vouchers," Freya replied lightly.
"Oh, what a pity! A beautiful lady like you—if I can't have lunch with you, what fun is there left?" The young man's originally warm smile instantly turned into an exaggerated expression of disappointment, as if he would burst into tears if Freya didn't agree.
Ignoring the young man's theatrics, Freya turned directly to walk past him and leave.
But just as she passed by him, the young man suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
This made Freya's body jolt; a tingling sensation surged from his hand into her arm, and it felt as if her mental energy had abruptly severed its connection with the surrounding Energy Particles.
"You!..."
Freya turned around in shock to look at the young man. With her Great Knight's keen perception, she had not realized that this guy was actually a Knight's Pinnacle level warrior.
"Hehe, don't be so surprised, Sister Freya. I really did want to invite you to lunch, but the location isn't a restaurant; it's our Blue Eagle Division. Also, I advise you not to use your mental power to guide any Spells right now, or else the consumption won't just be mental energy..." The young man slowly dropped his act after releasing her and said calmly.
After he finished speaking, a Black Carriage slowly approached from around the corner of the road, driven by two middle-aged men in solemn blue Robes.
Ignoring the passing Black Carriage, Freya gently touched her arm that had just been grabbed. Although the tingling sensation had faded, it felt as if her mental power was wrapped in something greasy, making it impossible to sense even a trace of Energy Particles. However, her body did not seem too affected.
"What did you do to me?" Freya asked coldly as she slightly moved and felt the changes in her body while staring at the young man in front of her.
"Hehe, it's just a little something that temporarily shuts down your energy perception. While it doesn't work on Official Wizards, it's infallible for apprentices," the young man said with a smile as he twirled a red ring on his right hand's index finger, as if everything was under his control.
"Oh? So it's a Cursed Item," Freya said, looking at the ring that was emitting faint glimmers. Her previously cold expression suddenly turned into a smile, revealing her white teeth.
She had been thinking about matters concerning the Blue Eagle Nest before buying medicine and didn't expect that just twenty minutes later, this group would come looking for her. (To be continued)
