The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Deep in the alley, footsteps approached, and a burly man walked over. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surroundings in the darkness. Only when he got closer did he see the familiar yet unfamiliar face.

"Gerlin?" The man hesitated for a moment, his voice rough and wary.

"Yes, I am. But what you see now is not my true self." He smiled. Although this was a strange face, it did not prevent him from showing a hint of intimacy. "We have to hurry. Time waits for no one."

"Are you really ready?" The other party was obviously unconvinced. He stared at Gerling with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "I heard that you were being followed here. Why are you willing to come to see me?"

"Because I believe in you," Gerlin said firmly, his eyes lingering on the other person. "Sul, the trust between you and me has never been broken. The purpose of meeting you today is to face all this together."

Sur frowned slightly, obviously moved by his words. Gerling knew that Sur knew that this mission was extremely risky and any small mistake could lead to disaster. He didn't want to put Sur in trouble, but he knew that he couldn't stop him from participating in this operation.

"Okay, I believe you." Su Er finally breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his emotions. "But we must make the plan clear. Those who are following you are likely to hide in the dark, ready to strike at any time."

"I've thought about it," Gerling said in a low but firm voice. "We will split up. You lead them out in front, and I will sneak into the target location from the rear."

"This is too dangerous, you are in a hurry!" Su Er immediately objected, spreading his hands and looking even more anxious. "If anything unexpected happens, you will be in a desperate situation!"

"If I don't go, they will be the biggest beneficiaries." Gerling's eyes were firm. He knew that this wish made Sur feel a little uneasy, but he had to be honest. "I don't want to undermine your confidence, but the enemy is very powerful. I can't break through alone."

Silence spread between the two. Gerlin felt complicated, fearing that his decision would drag Sur into a quagmire. Finally, Sur slowly let go of his guard and sighed: "Okay, let's act according to this plan. However, we must keep in touch and keep an eye on each other's movements."

"Of course." Gerling nodded and agreed, with a hint of gratitude in his heart. He thought to himself that although Suer looked tough on the surface, he actually cared about him very much, just like the tacit understanding between the two of them for many years.

"So, when do we set off?" After a moment's thought, Sur continued to ask.

"Right away. The sooner we set off, the safer we will be." Gerling looked into the distance, as if he could see the mysterious destination waiting for them. His heartbeat quickened, and he felt both excited and nervous. After all, this was an adventure full of unknowns.

The two quickly checked their equipment, and Gerling tapped his fingers to cast a powerful cloaking spell. The surrounding elements seemed to change, and the two secretly blended into the shadows. They moved through the darkness of the city like ghosts.

"The target location is ahead, pay attention to the surrounding movements." Sur lowered his voice and walked in front, followed by Gerlin. The alley in the dark seemed ancient and mysterious, with sparse lights and shadows all around.

"That's the abandoned building." Soul pointed to a dilapidated high-rise building, with a thorny window that let out a hint of cold air. "I heard there's a secret laboratory hidden there, and the enemy has placed something extremely important there."

"We need to find the entrance." Gerling followed closely behind, to ensure that he and Sur could cooperate properly in any situation. "If this place is really monitored by the enemy, no matter how careful we are, we will leave traces."

"I'll do some investigation. You wait here." Sur tightened the backpack on his shoulders, preparing to explore further. "Stay alert."

"I won't leave your sight." Gerling nodded heavily, understanding the importance of security. The tacit understanding between the two made them more united.

Sur quietly walked into the tall building, taking every step carefully, while Gerling stared at the surroundings outside, ready to respond to any emergency. As time went by, the tension in his heart almost overwhelmed him, and there seemed to be an invisible force that was constantly strengthening.

Suddenly, Sur poked his head out of the tall building, a hint of uneasiness flashing across his face. "Gerlin, I found several bodies inside. They seem to have been left here by the enemy."

Gellin was shocked, and his instincts made him feel alarmed. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely." Soul said hastily, "And there is a strong magical aura here. I think the situation is much more serious than we thought."

"We can't let our guard down." Gerlin said solemnly, the magic energy in his body began to swirl, ready to attack at any time. "Stay here, I'll come in and help you."

"No, stay outside." Su Er hurriedly stopped him, his eyes became serious, "You have to know that the enemy may be hiding around, we must determine their movements."

"I don't want you to face it alone! We are partners and cannot be separated!" Gerling's voice was high and urgent, and every word revealed helplessness and worry.

"We have no other choice. Just wait. If I don't come back, you must retreat immediately." Sur's face darkened, he took a deep breath, and in an instant gave Gerlin invisible pressure.

"No!" He retorted again, his calm tone full of anxiety, "I can't just watch you take risks like this. I believe in my ability, let's face it together."

For a moment, the alley was filled with tension. Gerlin looked at Sur with a determined fire in his eyes. Sur seemed to understand something, his expression softened a little, and he nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, let's go in together. But no matter what happens, safety comes first." Sur took a deep breath, slowly stepped back, and motioned Gerlin to follow him.

Walking into the empty high-rise, a suffocating atmosphere gradually spread. Surrounded by dilapidated walls, dust fluttered where the sunlight shone through the broken windows, bringing a heavy sense of oppression.
