Chapter 228: 228

“Strange.”

“I really don’t understand. If I could release that spell, I would definitely be able to kill those mages behind me.”

“In the end, Lord Garros actually insisted that I come over.”

“If I let others come over, would it not be the same?”

Taylor muttered as he used magic to fly in the air.

This kind of flying magic was actually rare.

Only a few people in the headquarters of the Mage Association knew this flying magic.

Taylor was one of them.

Not only did he know this flying magic, but he could also use this magic on other people. The reason why they were able to move so quickly in the team before was also because of this magic.

It was because of this that he could not understand why Garris would ask him to come over.

After thinking for a long time, the only thing that Taylor felt that could be explained.

Was that among those mages, he had been with Garros the longest.

Thinking of this, Taylor suddenly understood.

Lord Garros had arranged for him to come over because he trusted him the most!

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Previously, when Lord Garros had asked him to come over, he had not told him the details. He must have not wanted others to know.

Taylor’s mood suddenly became better.

Because if that was really the case, then he could be considered Lord Garros’s confidant!

Perhaps after a period of time.

He would be able to enter Lord Garros’s exclusive team.

Previously, he had heard that Lord Garros’s team had been killed by that scarecrow while carrying out a mission. It seemed that only Lord Zero was left.

After Lord Garros recovered from his injuries, the first thing he did was to re-establish this exclusive team.

If he could enter this exclusive team…

Taylor was a little happy.

Although this team was dangerous, if he could enter, he would receive the personal guidance of Lord Garros!

As long as his strength increased, his status would also rise.

Moreover, many missions might not be so dangerous in his eyes.

Previously, when Lord Garros dealt with the scarecrow, although he suffered heavy losses, do not forget that before he met the Scarecrow, that exclusive team was simply the trump card of the Mage Association.

The success rate of the mission was 100%, and the damage rate was zero.

It was also because that scarecrow was too abnormal that it was like this.

As for strange creatures like the scarecrow, even if it was bad luck to encounter it once, how could it be possible to encounter it again?

Therefore, the benefits of joining this exclusive team far outweighed the disadvantages.

The more Taylor thought about it, the happier he became.

He even wished he could join now.

“But… the Hoke village that Lord Garros mentioned should be in this direction, right?”

While flying in the air, Taylor looked around.

“According to Lord Garros, it should be around here.”

“Keep looking, it should be here soon.”

Taylor continued flying for a while.

After a few minutes, he finally saw a stone carving on the ground.

The words ‘Hoke Village’were engraved on it.

Moreover, there was an arrow on it pointing in a direction.

Found it!

Taylor was very surprised.

Then he walked in the direction the arrow pointed.

After a few minutes, he finally saw the face of a small village.

He thought about it and stopped using magic. Instead, he walked closer to the small village.

“This village is so small.”

Taylor muttered and continued to walk forward.

He looked at the village with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

For some reason, Taylor felt that there was something wrong with the village, especially after he had just entered the village. This feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

Mages all had a scale in their hearts, so they had always believed in this sixth sense.

However, when he thought about it carefully.

“That’s true. After all, it’s a place that Lord Garros specially instructed. This place is indeed very strange.”

“Lord Garros is a B+ rank mage. He must know a lot of things that I don’t know. Perhaps the strange feeling that this place gives me is the part that I don’t know about.”

Taylor decided not to probe further.

He was very clear about a person’s strength. The things that he knew could not exceed the limits of his strength.

Otherwise, it was very likely that he would attract a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Lord Garros had asked him to come over, and it was obvious that he trusted him.

If he continued to dig deeper, it would very easily attract Lord Garros’s dissatisfaction. He would ignore it and only need to do what Lord Garros had ordered him to do. When that time came, Lord Garros’s impression of him would not only improve, he might even tell him about it.

Taylor thought as he looked at the village.

This village was very clean.

There was almost no dirt to be seen.

Moreover, every household seemed to be very rich.

However, what made him feel strange was that he could not see a single person.

“Is there not a single person?”

Taylor was a little puzzled.

Then, he thought for a moment, walked to the door of a household, and knocked on the door.

The lights in this house were still on, so there should be someone inside.

In the end, he knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened the door for him. It was as if there was no one inside.

But the lights inside were indeed on, so it was impossible that there was no one inside.

Could it be that the knocking was too soft and the person did not hear it?

Thinking of this, Taylor knocked on the door even louder.

In the end, a minute had passed, but no one opened the door for him.

Strange!

“Young man, stop knocking. The person inside forgot to turn off the lights when they went out, so there’s no one inside.”

Just as Taylor was feeling strange.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear, giving Taylor a big fright.

Taylor looked over. It was an old woman.

F*ck!

When did this old woman appear?!

When he came just now, she was clearly not there!

And even if he did not see it, as a C rank mage, he actually did not notice an ordinary person approaching him?!

This was too ridiculous!!

Taylor felt that something was very wrong.

But when he shifted his gaze to this old woman, he realized that she was really an ordinary person!

Strange!

Too Strange!

Taylor frowned.

“Young man, you’re not from our village, are you?” the old woman looked at him and asked.

The old woman spoke again.

Her voice was very unpleasant as if something was stuck in her throat.

Taylor was stunned for a long time before he reacted.

“That’s right.”

“I’m not from this village.”

“Someone knows the village chief here and asked me to look for the village chief here… Granny, you’re from here, so you should know the village chief here? Can you bring me to look for the village chief?”

Taylor said successively.

When he spoke, Taylor did not know why, but he kept feeling flustered.

Especially when this old woman kept staring at him.

The feeling was very strong!

Moreover, Taylor felt that this old woman did not seem like a normal person.

Because there was not a single bit of blood on her face, it was extremely pale!

It was as if there was no flesh under her skin, but a feeling that was filled with countless straws. This made him feel very uncomfortable and awkward.

“Village chief…”

The old woman heard this and nodded. Then, she smiled and raised her head in one direction. “Go that way.”

“Then turn left. The third one on the right is where you will find him.”
