Outside the cave entrance.
When Wayne repeated his old trick, knocking the two magicians unconscious, he then used the memory erasure method on them mercilessly.
Although they probably didn't leave any memory images of themselves, in order to blur their concept of time, it would be better to make more preparations.
He planned to throw all the people below him into the homes of the most powerful nobles in the kingdom who had little to do with the account book.
It is impossible for all those nobles to be of the same mind as Chapman.
Didn’t Chapman want to silence him?
Soon he will discover that the witnesses who were originally gathered together have been scattered to the homes of various political opponents for some reason. The "confessions" about these people have been circulated in the market before everyone knows it. Wayne does not believe that the investigation Pullman could still sit still.
Even if he has never done these things, he still has to weigh the power of public opinion, let alone if it is all true.
By then, everyone's attention will be drawn to him.
At that time, Chapman will either continue to send out killers to assassinate these witnesses one by one, with no guarantee that any of them have been missed; or he will hold his nose and let others take advantage of him and attack all his moves.
The only pity is that the absence of a leading figure may make the nobles who are independent in their own affairs more conservative and unwilling to kill Chapman directly.
But even so, if such bad things spread, the king will inevitably alienate him, and he may never be able to return to the center of power in the kingdom.
After losing his power, he is just a tiger without teeth, and he will have the opportunity to rectify it in the future.
Wayne had planned all this well, but when he returned underground, the scene in front of him was different from what he had imagined.
The pungent smell of blood hit his face the moment he was here again.
Even with a mask, he couldn't hide this extremely strong and disgusting smell.
There was also an unspeakable burning smell mixed with it.
He was slightly startled.
Only one day has passed outside, what happened here?
The entire corner of the underground hall was covered in blood.
Among them, there were even two dark, charred corpses lying aside, their faces unrecognizable.
A man with a bruised nose and swollen face knelt down on one knee in the middle of the fan-shaped blood stains with dull eyes, looking a little foolish.
Behind him, there was a woman sitting against the wall.
It was discovered that there was an extra person in the hall at some point. The other people who stayed away from this corner were first frightened and then ecstatic.
Someone rolled and crawled at Wayne's feet, shouting loudly: "Sir! Master Magician! Help us, that person is a madman and a devil!"
The man burst into tears, fearing that if he spoke a word too slowly his life would be in danger.
"The devil has awakened an extremely evil magic! Master Magician, please arrest him immediately and take him to the church for purification!"
Wayne was also surprised when he heard what he said.
What the hell?
Could it be that the magic was temporarily awakened?
There are indeed residual traces of fire-attribute magic in the air.
Thinking about this, he looked towards the man who seemed to be stupid.
Whether it was his own appearance or the accusations launched by others, this man showed no reaction.
After thinking for a while, Wayne walked up to him. "May I have your name?"
The man remained motionless and deaf.
Then, Wayne raised his eyes slightly and looked at the woman behind him. "Are you going to answer for him?"
Realizing that she was talking to herself, the woman was stunned for two seconds before reacting.
"Reporting to Lord Magician...his name is March."
"What just happened?" Wayne asked again.
Under the vague pressure from him, the woman hesitated for a moment, and finally explained everything.
Listening to her story, Wayne fell into deep thought.
It seemed that a quarrel led to a many-on-one siege. During the siege, this person awakened the magic of fire, and then killed all those people with his backhand?
In the investigation and research that I have conducted with Tasia and others, I have also discussed several situations of civilians awakening to magic, but someone as special as him should be the first...
wrong.
To be honest, I was in a somewhat similar situation to him when I awakened magic.
Being bullied by the older children, I was extremely angry at that time. All I wanted to do was vent that anger, and somehow the magic was generated.
——This is what it says in the animation.
However, this person is not young, and his future achievements may not be great.
Well, that seems a bit too optimistic. Before that, he was a criminal who trafficked and abused children.
Looking back at the others, he decisively summoned a powerful tide of magic, causing everyone present to lose consciousness.
…
After deliberately making a few more trips and scattering these people to the homes of several nobles who had always been at odds with Earl Chapman, Wayne patted his butt and returned to the villa under the name of the Winche family.
He had always known that there was a basement with magical confinement here, and it had been unused for a long time.
It's perfect for imprisoning that guy who just awakened to magic.
This was just a temporary measure. After settling him and the maid, Wayne rushed back to his temporary residence without stopping.
Don't say anything else for the moment, but Alex ran away very fast.
Seeing Wayne reappear, Tasia, who had been accompanying the children for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She said complainingly: "I thought you just ran away like this, Wayne."
"Ahahaha...how could it be?" Wayne laughed a little awkwardly.
He lifted several large bags in his hands.
"I bought dinner. Are you all hungry? Let's eat something."
He brought this back on his way back.
The rescued children became much calmer after being comforted by Tasia's light magic.
Although they are still afraid of strangers, they are no longer as afraid of Wayne as they were when they first woke up.
"Big brother...did you save us?" a child asked weakly.
"You can say that, but there are also other people who help me silently behind the scenes." Wayne replied with some reservations.
"Do you still remember where your own family lives? If you remember it, I can send you back."
Judging from the experience last time and this time, it seems that those people are just looking for lone civilian children to attack, and then transfer them out level by level.
After a short period of imprisonment and torture, most of these children had dull expressions on their faces and were not very lively.
However, upon hearing the word "home", a child seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly shouted.
"...No, don't! I don't want to go home...don't hit me...wu..."
