Su Ye frowned and asked, "Why didn't you leave those nobles behind."

"Do you know who the magician leading the group is?"

"Suye shakes his head."

"Larence." Cromwell's eyes filled with laughter.

"The Provost of Plato Academy?" "Andrei" remained suitably surprised, but there was an obvious tinge of amusement.

Cromwell smiled proudly and said: "It seems that you also wished to kill the man from Plato's Academy, and your hatred for that man is well known. Yes, it is him. This time, the temple has asked him by name to come, and he cannot fail to come."

"The temple is preparing to take action against Plato's Academy?"

"I heard something like that from the temple. It is said that the goddess of vengeance's slumber is a result of the wizard's interference, so the temple is going to strike against Plato's Academy."

"An all-out strike?" Suye asked.

Cromwell hesitated for a moment, lightly nodded his head, and said, "The temple didn't say it explicitly, but some details indicate that the temple wants to eradicate the Plato Academy completely."

"I'm a little conflicted." "Andrei" sighed.

"Yes, as a wizard, my heart is also full of contradictions. On the one hand, I am grateful to Plato's Academy for its contribution to Greece, but on the other hand, I don't want to see too many wizards in the common people. You are at home these days, and you don't know what is happening. Do you know how many magical apprentices are added to the whole of Greece, roughly every year?" Cromwell asked.

"I've heard that all over Greece, only about three thousand new apprentices of magic are added every year, including the nobles and the temple magicians." Suye said.

"Then, do you know how many magical apprentices Greece has added in the past six months?"

"Five thousand?" Suye pretended not to know.

Cromwell chimed in, "Seventy thousand!"

"So much?" "Andrei" stared incredulously.

"This news must never get out! Once this news gets out, forces against the temple and the nobility will surely rise."

"But ...... is impossible. If this goes on, wouldn't it mean that the increase in the number of magicians in the next year will be more than forty times what it was before? Absolutely not. You must be joking."

"The actual number, it can only be more, not less! The number of wizards in Persia, Northern Europe, and Egypt suddenly skyrocketed because of the worldwide sale of Enlightenment Potions! The magical schools in Greece are bound to hide their numbers."

"This news is terrible. At this rate, in less than ten years, the whole of Greece will be the domain of those lowly commoner magicians!"

"Andrei" looked alarmed.

"As you can see, the overpopulation of wizards is a devastating blow to the nobility and the temple! Once the wizards were able to compete with the nobility, Greece was bound to fall apart. Therefore, we are preparing for a massive witch hunt, or 'demon slaying', to kill all non-civilian wizards. However, we cannot act until Plato, the native Greek, is dead. We are waiting for the temple to kill Plato. Once Plato is dead, we will unite with the Temple and declare a Greek-wide ban on magic! It is forbidden for anyone to study magic, except for nobles."

Cromwell smiled faintly.

"What about the rest of the world? Wouldn't it be dangerous for us in Greece in case the other three countries cultivate the power of magicians in large numbers?" Su Ye asked.

Cromwell paled and said, "With the gods here, we are not afraid of the other three countries at all. No matter how many magicians they have, they are vulnerable before the gods. What's more, Persia and Egypt will limit the number of magicians."

"But Northern Europe, except for Redian, all allow magicians to develop freely. The Norse gods, they don't stop it." Su Ye said.

"It doesn't matter, Northern Europe is about to face the twilight, and no matter how much magic they have, it won't be enough for the Wolf of Doom to swallow in one bite." Cromwell.

After a long silence, Suye asked, "If, I mean if, if the magicians of the other three countries increase in power and end up overwhelmingly defeating us in Greece, we are forced to shrink our borders, the

Cromwell sneered: "Even if you give Greece to the king of Persia, to the king of Egypt, to the pirate kings of Northern Europe, that's for the descendants of the gods, and that's for the nobility! It's always better than having untouchables standing on Mars Hill, telling our nobles what to do!"

Su Ye suddenly came to his senses and said, "It is better to be a friend than a house slave."

"Right! That's it! Very, very good! No wonder we are all optimistic about you. Even if you are a divine legend and have limited growth in the future, so what? You can become a Divine Legend, you can become a Divine Hero, or even a Demigod! The premise is that you give to the gods and kill the untouchables!"

Cromwell stared into Suye's eyes.

"I see! I agree with this hunt! But we have to be ready for anything, you know, my strength is all in the magic tool."

"Andrei raised his two hands helplessly.

There were two rows of twenty rings on them.

Cromwell smiled and said, "The strongest of the wizards in that team is Lawrence, who is not a legend, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to survive your twenty rings. Moreover, we have a legendary warrior and a legendary priest in our ranks, both armed with heroic weapons, so it's easy to kill them. The reason I'm looking for you is not really for you to fight, but to help you!"

"Thank you, Master Cromwell, I understand."

Su Ye was overwhelmed with emotion, both Baines and Cromwell were too good to himself.

This was the result of accumulating virtue and good deeds, and it seemed that it would continue to accumulate virtue and good deeds.

"You don't think that old fox, Larence, will have a way to escape, do you?" Su Ye asked.

Cromwell smiled: "You know too little about the Plain of the Abyss. It is very special there, enveloping the power and will of the many planes, which even the gods cannot see directly, and can only see a limited scope with the help of priests and artifacts. As for magicians, there are ways to teleport away, not to mention that we can imprison space, and even if we didn't, with Larence's strength, we wouldn't be able to escape."

"Why?"

"In the Abyssal Plains, only divine beings can teleport unrestricted distances, and ordinary people, even heroic wizards, can only use short-distance teleportation. Of course, senior legends always have peculiar means." Cromwell said.

"In other words, it takes at least a demigod to teleport?" Suye asked.

"Right. Or holding a powerful artifact, and it's at least an inferior artifact. Do you think Larence and the others might have it? So, this is just an outing for you."

"I see. Then, let's start preparing!"

"Andrei" was in high spirits.

"Yes!"

Three days later, a team of mostly magicians left the fortress without a word.

After another day, a second scouting team disappeared into the teleportation array.

In the endless darkness, Su Ye held his breath.

After a split second, his body flew away as if hit by a huge force.

As the darkness dissipated and his body hung in the air, he looked down, one meter off the ground, and with a thought, the invisible Legendary Sanctuary power opened up, allowing his body to slowly fall to the ground.

At the same time, Su Ye cautiously lifted Andrei's legendary magic staff and looked around.

In the sky, gray clouds were like lead.

In the midst of the rolling gray clouds, thunder flickered and blood light appeared.

The red earth was endless, occasionally obscured by the equally red mountains.

The pungent smell of sulfur and char mixed with heat swirled in the nasal cavity, and the poisonous fumes were like snakes drilling into the lungs.

Su Ye felt his body temperature exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

It was like being in a boiling cauldron of poison.

After a split second, all the discomfort disappeared, the powerful hero's body and various talents shielded all the negative forces, and even the body temperature was maintained at a normal temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

The other seven teammates were scattered in a radius of one hundred meters.

"Gather!" Xavier, the legendary priest who led the team.

Su Ye immediately walked toward Xavier.

Between the lead cloud and the red earth, eight people gathered together.

Cromwell raised his evergreen scepter and cast "range invisibility", and the group immediately disappeared into the world.

In the eyes of the crowd, they were all translucent.

Cromwell took out a round-mouthed bronze vase, wiped it with his right hand, and saw a red dot emerge from the ripples of water inside.

Cromwell pointed in a direction and said, "They're about a hundred kilometers away in that direction, go after them and kill them all!"

"Go!"

The people did not speak, and quickly walked forward.

Su Ye sized up the seven people, except for Dennis and Xavier, who were two legends, the other five were all Sanctuary, a Sanctuary Priest, a Sanctuary Magician, and three Sanctuary Warriors.

Except for Cromwell, everyone seemed to be coated in thick blood, emitting the same fetid smell as the city walls.

Cromwell whispered: "Don't complain, this is the plains of hell, where legends abound like dogs, heroes are everywhere, and even demigods are commonplace. Especially since we are outsiders, we should never fly in the sky, and we should never wander about. We can be free in the mountains, but in the open plains, we must be invisible."

Su Ye nodded.

Cromwell then took an envious look at a pure white ring on Su Ye's hand.

Of all of them, only Su Ye possessed this ring, which allowed him to teleport back to the Abyssal Fortress at a critical moment. The others had to go into the black stone hills and wait to be picked up if they wanted to return to the prison fortress.

On the open red earth, eight people walked quickly in stealth mode.

Su Ye was constantly observing his surroundings.

The team was headed to a red mountain range in the southwest, and hundreds of kilometers behind them, there was a black stone mound.

Those black hills were undulating, with the shortest being only 20 to 30 meters and the highest being only 300 to 400 meters, with occasional spatial cracks passing over them.

It was like a black behemoth lying on the red plain.

There, was the entrance to the fortress of the Abyssal Plain.

After walking for ten minutes, and before the effects of the invisibility spell were over, Xavier, the legendary warrior, suddenly bent down and lowered his voice, "Stop!

Cromwell immediately used his magic ring to instantly cast three spells, "Hide Breath," "Elemental Obscuration," and "Silent," to envelop everyone, while the priest's scepter flashed in his hand and cast an invisible light across everyone.

Everyone held their breath and did not move.

Su Ye was curious and followed the legendary warrior's line of sight.

It was only after this look that he discovered that two or three kilometers in front of him, there seemed to be an abnormal slight bulge in the earth, less than three millimeters above the surrounding ground.

After a while, the legendary warrior breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The underground earthworm swarm didn't find us, so let's go around."
