Chapter 176: 99. Second Ring Wizard_2
“Could it be that my whereabouts have been exposed? How could it be such a
coincidence otherwise?”
As Noland Lee pondered the possibility of his cover being blown, he followed the
troops into the tunnel leading to the prison cell.
The coal lamps hanging on the walls emitted a dim flame, illuminating the square
walls made of stone bricks. A thick layer of dust coated the floor of the tunnel,
and bullet marks were clearly visible on the walls. It seemed that battles had
taken place in the Empire’s narrow pass.
The accompanying soldiers began to converse.
“We have to cooperate with the Second Place again to catch spies... Ugh, it
happens every two or three days.”
“I don’t understand why the higher-ups sealed the fortress? In the past, when we
caught spies, didn’t we just check their names and identities?”
“I estimate that the entire border defense line in the east must be on high alert.
For the Death Notice spies to leave the Boundary Land, they'd have to cross the
Blade Mountain Range and take boats back to the Empire from the Golden
Federation's illegal crossing. Such incidents have happened quite a few times.
Haven't those famous senior members of the Death Herald Guild done it like this
before?”
“The people of the Death Herald Guild really have some skills, just flipping over
such hizh mountain ranges like that.”
“Hey, be careful not to let the Second Place hear you say that, or you will suffer.
But don't think the Death Herald Guild people are too amazing either. The price
they paid for forcibly crossing the mountains is huge. I heard that they must first
use magic to turn themselves into Skeleton Warriors, and then jump off the
clifftop. After reaching the ground, they find their heads, arms, and thighs, and
put them back together. If they're missing a few bones, then transforming back
into human form is painful, half dead, and could even be
fatal. ”
“Tsk, what do the Death Herald Guild people want by going through all this
trouble?”
“What else can they want? Of course, it's to bring important magical items back
with them. I've heard that the thing that led to the fall of the Korabo Corps
Fortress is a genuine magic wand. Don’t you think the Death Herald Guild would
want to bring it back?”
One of the soldiers praised:
“Wow, mate, I never thought you'd know so much.”
Noland Lee also thought that the talkative soldier knew too much. Unconsciously,
he glanced over and then froze.
It was because that soldier was looking at him with a deep gaze, a faint smile
playing at the corner of his mouth:
“Hehe, of course, I know more, much more than all of you combined. Don’t you
think so, Private Second Class Isa?"
Noland Lee's heart trembled.
Just as he was about to create confusion and flee the scene, he was suddenly
struck by a transparent lightning.
Invisible heavy pressure came from all directions, pinning him firmly in place.
[Warning!]
[You are affected by the “Unknown Magical Effect” and are rendered unable to
move!]
[System Reminder:]
[“Magic Shield” can effectively block this magical effect!]
In Noland Lee's mind, he outlined the casting blueprint of the “Magic Shield”
spell.
“Crack, crack, crack.”
Three crisp sounds came from his body.
The “Magic Shield” blocked the immobilizing magical effect.
The heavy pressure on his body subsided significantly.
Noland Lee twisted his body forcefully, breaking free from the pressure, and
turned to run back down the tunnel they had come from.
The casting soldier looked surprised:
“Huh? Interesting. You can actually cast a “Magic Shield’, breaking free of my
“Paralysis Spell. You're indeed not Isa! Who are you?”
The other soldiers and Sin Soldiers were confused by the scene before them, not
knowing what had just happened.
A few soldiers were about to chat with the casting soldier when they saw him
raise his hand toward them, flicking his fingertips several times, releasing a
series of transparent lightning.
The soldiers and Sin Soldiers were struck by the transparent lightning on their
brows, their eyes becoming empty and their expressions dazed, standing rigidly
in place.
The casting soldier flicked his wrist, pointed at Noland Lee's retreating figure, and
calmly uttered a single word:
“Freeze.”
An even greater pressure fell upon Noland Lee's head than before.
He continuously cast several “Magic Shields” but couldn't counter the pressure
on his body, and was forced to hold still.
The casting soldier slowly walked past the transfixed soldiers and Sin Soldiers

The man’s fingertips rubbed Noland Lee's forehead a few times, sprinkling a
layer of hazy fumes.
A chill emerged on Noland Lee's skin.
