The sudden question stunned Lin En.

After a few figures gradually approached, Lin En immediately recognized the person leading the group. It was the target he was looking for this time, Joni.

The girl wrapped in a black robe was about twenty years old. She had a head of strange silver-gray long hair, and her eyes were bright sapphire blue.

Probably because she had been running around all day, Joni was much thinner than the last time they met, and her face was sickly pale.

“I don’t understand what you mean, Joni!” Lin En’s tone was extremely firm and did not waver at all. With all the memories of his host, he was very sure that Carl had not done anything to betray them.

Carl might have considered it, but he didn’t do it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to hide in the slums in fear.

“Where is your sword?” The gray-haired witch continued to question.

Only then did Lin En notice that Joni’s gaze had been fixed on the longsword in his hand. He thought for a moment and instantly understood what the problem was.

“The weapon in your hand is a weapon commonly used by Mage Hunters!” The tall and strong apprentice Barker said emotionally.

“Of course, this is my spoils of war. Is there a problem, Barker?” Lin En replied calmly, but his back was covered in a cold sweat.

He had actually been carrying such a ticking time bomb with him these past few days!

Of course, he couldn’t be blamed for not being cautious enough. After all, his dagger had been left in a house in the slums. It would be stupid to throw away a weapon, right?

Most importantly, there was no information in Carl’s memory about the Mage Hunters being equipped with standardized weapons.

From the fact that he hadn’t encountered any trouble in the past few days, there should be very few people who knew about this information. However, this obviously didn’t escape Old York’s detection in the [Drunkard] Tavern.

It was no wonder that when he bought the Gulo wine, York kept on testing him. York probably was also the one who passed on the information that he had a Mage Hunter’s weapon to Joni and the others.

“Spoils of war? You mean you killed a Mage Hunter and took his sword?” Barker sneered. “Carl, if I remember correctly, you can’t even master the most basic first circle spell, [Ice Blade]…You should find a better reason.”

As the lackeys of the Holy Court, those who were chosen as Mage Hunters were the elites of the elites. Their skills were far superior to ordinary people, and they usually moved in small teams of several people. Even if an official Mage encountered them, it would be a headache.

For acolytes like them, it was already a blessing for them to be able to escape with their lives.

“Sometimes, strength isn’t everything, Barker!” Lin En shook his head.” Besides, the last time we met was four months ago, right?”

As he spoke, Lin En stretched out his hand, and the hydrogen and oxygen in the air around him were stripped out. Then, they quickly cooled down and condensed into form.

Almost instantly, a diamond-shaped ice blade appeared before everyone’s eyes. It had a strange shape but was filled with a strange beauty.

The few Mage-Apprentices present could not help but be stunned for a moment. This was not because they were surprised by the unprecedented shape of the ice blade but because the casting speed of Lin En was too fast!

Before becoming an official Mage, it was impossible to carve the corresponding spell slots in the brain, so how to quickly complete the complicated casting steps and increase the casting speed was a big problem.

After all, in a real battle, the enemy wouldn’t just wait for you to finish casting a spell. An ordinary student was considered amazing if they could finish casting a spell within two seconds.

On the other hand, Lin En had compressed the entire process to about one second. The shape of the ice blade was not Kru’s streamlined shape, but it was enough to make everyone present look askance.

” Also, I don’t think the Church would allow a mage to become a Mage Hunter and give them the weapons…” Before everyone could react, Lin En retorted again.

Barker was completely speechless. The Holy Court had always killed Mages like them without letting them off. Letting a Mage who had been ” corrupted by demons ” become a Mage Hunter was simply blasphemy against God…

The rest of the students understood this as well, and their hostility towards Lin En lessened.

Joni did not let down her guard. Instead, she looked at one of them and asked. “Have you checked the surroundings? Pigeon?”

“No one is near us…” The person who spoke shrank into his black robe and replied timidly.

After getting an accurate reply, Joni turned around and said apologetically to Lin En. “I’m sorry, Carl, the situation is urgent. We have to be careful.”

“So, you were prepared to kill me based on your suspicion?” Lin En questioned.

“I promise you that the spell just now was just a probe. No one would want to hurt their companions!” Joni explained solemnly.

Lin En stared into the girl’s blue eyes. He could not tell that she was hiding or lying, but when he was attacked earlier, he felt a real danger.

However, considering that his suspicion had not been completely cleared and his perception was not 100% reliable, Lin En did not reveal this information in public.

Compared to the other acolytes, he had followed Kru for the shortest amount of time and was thus the least trustworthy one!

After a pause, Lin En temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked again. “Did something happen? I need an explanation…”
