Another World: The Failed Magician

Just as Lu Xuan was about to return to the inn, he sensed a strange aura. After Lu Xuan noticed it, the aura quickly headed towards the mountains outside Huaisong County.

Lu Xuan snapped his fingers instantly, and a small, almost imperceptible wisp of wind elemental energy instantly condensed beneath his feet.

Intermediate spell - Wind Walk.

Lu Xuan immediately followed the aura, but just as he was about to catch up, the aura seemed to have sensed Lu Xuan's presence and suddenly accelerated and pulled away after Lu Xuan got a little closer.

After chasing for a while, Lu Xuan followed the aura to the forest where the Sword Forging Manor was located.

After sensing that the aura had stopped here, Lu Xuan also stopped and said calmly, "What an old trick."

Just as Lu Xuan finished speaking, a pleasant voice came from the shadows in front of the woods: "It's old, but it works, that's all that matters!"

As the voice faded, a figure in emerald green appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan had also seen the newcomer before; the emerald green figure was the same elven girl he had met at the Adventurers' Guild.

When Lu Xuan saw the elven girl holding the emerald green staff, he showed no surprise; instead, he remained remarkably calm.

"Oh! You don't seem surprised at all." The elven girl's voice carried a hint of mockery as she looked at Lu Xuan with the same expression one would give a predator.

Lu Xuan said calmly, "President Zhang Yu, you don't need to hide it anymore!"

"Hahaha! As expected of someone from Frunze Academy, it seems everything was within your expectations. Since you already knew, why did you still come along? I really don't know if you're arrogant or just ignorant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yu appeared beside the elf girl.

Lu Xuan shrugged lightly and said, "How would I know? I was just trying to trick you."

"Hmph!" Zhang Yu snorted coldly, then took out a silver-white longsword from his spatial ring and charged towards Lu Xuan.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan reacted quickly. Almost the instant Zhang Yu moved, he took out the musket from his spatial ring, held it in his hand, and aimed it at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu instantly felt the fear of death and, defying common sense, stopped abruptly, changing his original trajectory and leaping towards the depths of the forest. During this process, he also activated a high-level instant-cast defensive spell, creating a magical shield around himself.

After doing all this, Zhang Yu looked at Lu Xuan with cold sweat dripping down his face.

He noticed that Lu Xuan was standing there with a musket pointed at him, but he didn't fire. He just stared at him coldly.

Lu Xuan was certain that this guild leader was not simply a high-level mage, but a powerful individual skilled in both magic and martial arts.

Seeing Zhang Yu in such a disheveled state, the elven girl coldly said, "It's confirmed. This is a top-grade musket. There's no need to hold back anymore, or the two of us won't be a match for him."

After speaking, the elven girl soared into the air, and the surrounding wood-elemental elements rushed towards her at high speed. Her aura also rose from that of a mid-level peak mage to that of a high-level mage.

Just as the elf girl took to the air, Lu Xuan pointed his gun at her.

At that moment, Zhang Yu took out a scroll from his pocket and threw it out. A phantom magic chain extended from the scroll, connecting the two of them together.

This abruptly stopped Lu Xuan from pulling the trigger.

Seeing that Lu Xuan was unable to move, Zhang Yu coldly said, "This is a magic chain of the Archmage level. Now that neither of us can move, you can slowly wait for death to come."

The elven girl responded to Zhang Yu's words, and a spear made of teak wood elements condensed in the air and was aimed at Lu Xuan.
