Chapter 185 The Victor
Banville said, "Thank you for your concern, but my father not only didn't scold me, he also told me how to defeat Leo."
"I'm sure I'll win the next battle against Leo!"
Anna and the other three exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful!"
"Keep it up, Banville!"
The team had a very pleasant atmosphere.
The only unusual thing was the bloodshot veins that flashed in Anna's and the other three's eyes.
In the dimly lit room, the candlelight shone faintly.
With disheveled hair, Sephir kept looking at the sheets of paper with spell combinations written on them, and judging from his expression, he was clearly not very satisfied with these spell combinations.
"No, this combination of bloodline abilities cannot defeat Leo."
"This one won't work either."
Sephir swept the paper away roughly.
He stared at the mirror on the table, looking at himself in it.
Haggard and angry.
He showed none of the aloofness he displayed at the beginning of the Great Gathering, when he treated the other wizard apprentices as nothing.
"Could it be that the truly powerful wizards that Nova spoke of cannot be cultivated through bloodline abilities?"
"No, even if we change to different spells, the result won't be better than my current situation. The problem isn't with me, but with Wizard Nova."
"After all, he was only a first-class wizard apprentice, not a formal wizard, so his so-called truly powerful wizard may not be accurate."
"Nova the Wizard is a genius, but that doesn't mean what he says is the truth or correct."
Sephir suddenly stood up and said, "That's right, that must be it. Wizard Nova is wrong, and I've been searching for the right direction along the wrong path, so naturally I won't find the right one."
"Leo, you wait. Once I find the right path for my wizardry, I will come back to you and challenge you again. I will definitely defeat you then."
When Leo went up to the deck at night, he found that the wizards were holding a party.
Elise changed into an evening gown, holding a plate of cheese in one hand and a fork in the other.
Elise held the fork by clenching it into a fist.
Upon seeing Leo, Elise raised her fork, waving it around, and said, "Leo, over here."
Leo walked up to Iris and couldn't help but smile as he watched her eat.
"Leo, aren't you going to eat?"
"Hmm, I'm not hungry yet," Leo said, shaking his head.
Leo brought dried meat as provisions for this grand gathering. He hadn't known there would be a party here, so he ate some dried meat and now he wasn't hungry.
"The Wizard Leo".
Alice's voice came from the left.
She changed into a white and slightly red dress, and her posture was elegant.
Alice approached Leo, and upon seeing him dressed in ordinary wizard robes, she gave him an apologetic look and said, "Wizard Leo, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that there's a banquet tonight."
"It's okay," Leo shook his head and said, "I don't have any other clothes to change into anyway."
Bruce's voice rang out: "Witch Leo, Witch Alice, Witch Elise."
Not far away, Bruce was walking towards them, arm in arm with a witch.
Bruce didn't seem to have any intention of introducing the witch.
However, judging from their intimate behavior, their relationship is clearly quite close.
Bruce said, "Although our team didn't win the title this time, we returned safely, and for that, please allow me to express my gratitude."
Leo simply hummed in agreement.
Alice was a little embarrassed.
If Alice hadn't called everyone back beforehand, they would be the victors now.
Alice coughed twice and said, "Bruce the Wizard, stop trying to provoke me."
Bruce laughed and said, "Witch Alice, you've misunderstood me. I truly believe it."
Although in the end, the wizard Leo killed King Socrates, the entire process was fraught with danger.
Not only were there mutated creatures, but also other wizard squads. We were able to return alive thanks to your decision back then.
Alice simply nodded, not wanting to continue the topic. She said, "I'm very interested in the wild boar meat from Iver over there, so I'll go there first."
Elise raised her hand and said, "I want to eat wild boar meat too. Alice, wait for me."
Bruce then took the witch's hand and said, "Witch Leo, I have an appointment with a beautiful lady, so please excuse me for taking my leave."
Leo smiled.
These four teammates seemed to really enjoy the party.
Just then, a leisurely female voice rang out: "Wizard Leo."
"Hello, Wizard Fia."
After greeting Leo, Fia looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but then hesitated.
Leo blinked and said, "Witch Fia, don't worry about what happened before. After all, no wizard apprentice would want to offend a formal wizard."
"I'm sorry," Fia said, "thank you for your understanding."
Fia was referring to the fact that she hadn't greeted Leo when he returned earlier, but now, taking advantage of the lively dance, she was finally able to talk to him.
However, Leo didn't seem to care much about that.
Most wizarding apprentices dare not offend a formal wizard.
Leo and Fia chatted for a few minutes.
Then, the lights began to converge.
Kindley, Brock, and Tori, three official wizards, suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Young wizards, thank you all for joining us for this party."
"I believe you are all very much looking forward to the results of this grand gathering."
"I'm just as excited as you are."
"Now, let me announce the results of this grand gathering."
"First, there's the number of deaths recorded by each squad."
"First squad, one person."
"Second squad..."
Kindley gave a rough overview of the situation of each squad.
When it was Leo's team's turn, the reported number of deaths and kills was four.
This number is calculated based on the time when Alice and the others from Leo's team returned to the ship, meaning that Leo's subsequent killings are invalid.
Leo didn't seem to care much about it.
"Unfortunately, in this operation, no wizard was able to achieve the complete kill target of adding King Socrates to the death list."
"However, because the risks of this operation are also very high, after discussion, we have decided to award the title of genius wizard to the best team."
"And this squad is..."
At this moment, everyone instinctively looked at Leo.
After all, everyone knows that he killed King Socrates, and that Sephiroth and Banville were his defeated enemies.
Kindley said, "The wizarding squad led by the wizard Banville."
Jin Deli had barely finished speaking.
The wizards present applauded continuously.
Some wizards even seemed very excited and thrilled.
Leo's eyes flickered slightly.
He was clapping as well.
