Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 271 Ace And Archer

Ascot Town was just like any other town in Eastshire.

The people there lived perfectly normal lives.

During the two days that Ethan and his group were there, they conversed with a few locals to get a better understanding of the world.

According to them, there were still other lands beyond the sea.

However, ever since the Manticore that lived at the North of the Abel Plains made the cliffs its home, no merchant ships dared to land on their shores.

This discovery came as a complete surprise since everyone originally thought that the Legacy Domain was closed off from the world.

The locals called their island nation Verde Island.

Ethan made a mental note of the island’s name so that he could do a bit of research about it once they returned to Brynhildr Academy.

Truth be told, after spending more than a year in the Lands of Alastor, he had a vague idea of what these Legacy Gates were.

Of course, since this was his first time entering one, he wasn’t sure if his guesses were correct.

The majority of people didn’t know if the Legacy Gates only connected them to a closed-off Domain or if they were sent to a different timeline, similar to that of a Nexus Gate.

Ethan believed that Legacy Gates were similar to a Nexus. The only difference was that the Legacy Gates would remain open for a month.

Even after it closed, it could be reopened again after a month or two had passed, making it a very accessible world.

Nexus Gates, on the other hand, appeared and disappeared as soon as some people entered them.

They were like Legacy Gates, except they were unstable, making them scarier as the chances of returning to your own time were very small.

On the second day of their stay, a group of Wizards and Witches appeared in Ascot Town.

When Ethan, Luna, and Emma saw these newcomers, all of them were surprised since the remaining members of Brynhildr Academy were part of the group.

Brock Blackwell, Brenna Rosewood, Odelia Burke, Sabrina Hayden, and Zane Blackbane. Although these five people looked haggard, and their robes were torn in a few places, their genuine happiness after seeing Ethan’s group was obvious.

But aside from them, there were two other people in the group who looked at Ethan with relief.

They didn’t belong to Brynhildr Academy, but Emma recognized the two of them.

How did she recognize them? The answer was very simple.

The two teenage boys also belonged to the Meredith Clan and were, in fact, Emma’s cousins.

“Have you seen Henry?” Sabrina, who was also a Fourth Year, asked Ethan. “Did you encounter anyone from the other academies who tried to kill you guys?”

Ethan nodded. “Sir Henry is currently with Rowan, Nicole, and Garnet. The four of them are currently doing their special mission.”

When Sabrina heard the words “Special Mission”, she glanced at the other Fourth Year of their group, Zane.

“Understood,” Zane commented. “Are you guys going somewhere?”

“Yes,” Ethan replied. “We are headed towards Janga Valley to look for resources.”

The group of students stiffened after hearing that Ethan planned to go to Janga Valley.

They had just left that place, and the current situation there could only be described with one word—chaotic.

Henry, Sabrina, and Zane were tasked to eliminate the members from other academies who were hunting the students of Brynhildr Academy.

They were supposed to regroup with Henry and Rowan to do their special mission.

However, they came across their teammates, Brock, Brenna, and Odelia, forcing the two seniors to escort them to safety.

But before they met these three students, they were being attacked by the students of other academies.

If not for the twins who had protected the First and Second Years, they might have already been killed by their enemies.

“Be careful out there,” Sabrina said. “Nightfall Academy has declared that the Deathseeker Forest will be their base of operations, so most academies chose the Janga Valley as the second best place to gather resources.”

“The Harrowing Desert and the Ymir Mountains are both dangerous places,” Zane commented. “Because of this, very few individuals decide to explore those regions. Now, everyone is staking their claim in Janga Valley. Our rival academies are also there, so take care of yourselves.”

Ethan nodded in understanding. “Thank you, Seniors. We will now take our leave.”

Sabrina and Zane nodded before leading their group towards the nearest Inn in order to rest.

The two teenage boys remained and looked at Ethan with smiles on their faces.

Although they are clearly still tired from their journey, it was very obvious that they planned to join Ethan’s Group to protect their Master.

“What are your names?” Ethan asked the two, who immediately stood in attention.

“My name is Archer,” the teenage boy, who had a magical quiver on his back, said.

“My name is Ace,” the teenage boy, who held a spear in his hand, stated.

Ethan nodded in acknowledgment. “Can you still travel?”

““We can.””

“Very well. Try to keep up with us.”

Truth be told, Ethan wanted to order the two teenagers, who were older than him by a year, to rest.

However, both of them had the “we will come with you no matter what” expression on their faces, making Ethan sigh in his heart.

Emma gave her cousins a look of approval because, despite their exhaustion, they were still willing to do their mission to protect Ethan.

The Assistant Librarian had no idea who the Meredith Clan sent to assist her.

But after seeing the two familiar boys, she felt more assured as she knew that both of them were competent warriors.

Ethan sat on Luna’s broomstick and hugged the angelic beauty from behind.

The magic that he got from the Fairies had been used up, so he was now wearing a bracelet that served as a battery for his magic powers.

However, since he had no Magic Brooms of his own, he decided to ride his lover’s broom so that he could hug her from behind.

A few minutes later, seven people flew in a V-Formation headed towards Janga Valley.

Luna was at the forefront, while Ace and Archer were at the very back, granting the both of them a leeway to rest.

They had no idea what was waiting for them in Janga Valley, but they didn’t really care either way.

Ethan was confident that his team would be able to handle any situation that was thrown at them.

After all, the people with him were all elites who came from the Four Protector Families who treated him as their Liege.
