Chapter 268 Possible shortcut

   In the captain's room, after Ante's words were finished, silence fell into inexplicable silence.

  Ante glanced at Colin cautiously, only to feel that the complexion of this mysterious wizard was as gloomy as the sea in the middle of the night.

  ...Such a sudden performance made them dare not make a sound, and only dared to wait quietly for Colin's instructions.

  'Elves...tree elves...'

  At this moment, Colin felt that his back was still trembling, and there was an inexplicable sour feeling... His white forearm was unconsciously tense, and the palm hidden under the loose witch robe had already clenched into a fist.

  ‘The tree elves have surrendered to the gods…

  Although I don't know what the specific **** is, but in any case, as long as it is a god, it is the enemy of wizards! '

  ‘And the enemy’s lackeys, in turn, will fight side by side with the wizard? ! '

  Thinking of this, Colin felt as if a heavy boulder was placed on his heart.

  Although there are still many doubts that cannot be answered, one thing is certain—

  The elves who suddenly appeared are obviously not allies, but spies!

  ‘...No, not necessarily, maybe some elves who have not fallen into the gods. '

   Subconsciously comforted myself, but the anxiety in my heart was like crumpled paper... It was still difficult to comfort.

   "I promise you."

   Without giving himself any more time to think about it, Colin took a breath, stared at the three people in front of him and said in a deep voice.

  For the war between gods and wizards, he has never had much personal experience.

   If he had to say it, the most impressive thing about the gods is the golden **** he met when he was still very weak on Heishi Island.

  But there are no eggs under the nest, this war is a war about the survival of the wizard group!

  And now that I am a wizard, the success or failure of the wizard side is also my own success or failure...

   ‘Got to get this word out…’

  He became more and more anxious, but Colin's face became more and more calm, waiting for the reply of the three people in front of him.

  Anna breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Colin's answer, but her face suddenly felt a little lost. She paused, turned her head to look at Ante, and was about to give some instructions.

   But Ante kept shaking his head, "Sister Anna, I won't leave alone."

  He turned his head to look at old Jack again, "Jack, you know, after I leave, sister Anna will never escape Lean's clutches..."

  Colin sighed in his heart, then hardened his heart again, ready to interrupt Ante's words.

  There is not much time to delay now, and there must be no extra complications.

  He understands the importance of the information in his hands now—this is the key information that may affect the outcome of this war!

  Because of emotion and reason, the most important thing to do now is to pass this news to the Supreme Council!

   "Master Wizard!"

   But just as he was about to speak, Ante suddenly turned his head and fell to his knees with a plop.

   "Ante?!" Anna's complexion changed slightly, and she shouted in a low voice.

  Old Jack glanced at Anna—the girl he had watched and grown up with. Hesitation flashed across his face inexplicably, and he stood silently on the spot without moving.

  As for Ante, he naturally ignored Anna's cry.

  He raised his head, stared at Colin with his lips tightly pressed, and then said:

   "My lord, I beg you to take the three of us away together, escape from this sea, and return to the wizard's territory!"

  Colin was silent. If he hadn't heard the news about the elves, he might have agreed softly.

  But now... grasping this kind of news by himself is like carrying an invisible mountain, which makes him dare not take any unnecessary risks.

  Ante bit his lower lip and continued.

   "My lord, although Sister Anna doesn't have the talent of a wizard, she is a peak knight, and old Jack is also a great knight..."

   "Sorry..." Colin shook his head slowly.

  Ante's complexion suddenly turned pale, and his expression suddenly sank.

  At this moment, he even wanted to threaten the wizard in front of him by not using the Sighing Blood Crystal seriously.

  Unfortunately...he knew it was the worst of the worst.

  The brain is spinning rapidly.

  The next second, Ante had a flash of light in his heart, as if thinking of something, he bit the bullet and continued,

   "Master Wizard, I also know a method that allows you to reach Gwent Island directly without going through the battlefield defense line!"

  'No need to pass through the battlefield defenses... Gwent Island? '

  Colin swallowed the refusal he was about to blurt out when he heard the words. He subconsciously searched for the location of Gwent Island by comparing the sea chart in his mind.

   The name Quint seems a bit rare.

   A moment later, he only found an island called Quint in the southeast direction of Gupil Island.

  Not too excited... Under such circumstances, people are most likely to tell lies, or things that they are not sure about.

  Colin's expression remained unchanged. He paused, staring at the young Ante in a deliberately harsh tone, and asked in a deep voice:

   "Are you sure... what you said is true?"

  Ante swallowed, and his body trembled slightly, but he still nodded, stumbling, "I'm sure, my lord."

  He paused and said again: "However, to be precise, it leads to a hidden island next to Gwent Island."

  'Isn't it Gwent Island, but a hidden island... It doesn't matter, as long as it can reach the sea area controlled by the wizard side. '

  It's just... Colin's two sword eyebrows touched together.

  At least for now, Ante's performance does not seem to be lying.

   "Ante, what are you doing?"

  Anna on the side couldn't help asking in a low voice, she didn't know that the method Ante mentioned existed...

  Besides, if there is really a way to reach Gwent Island directly behind the wizard without going through the front line, then they would have fled here long ago, and they would no longer have to rely on the sighing blood crystals to support themselves here.

   "Sister Anna, I'm not lying. I only found out about it by accident when I was with my father..." Ante quickly explained.

  Old Jack on the side also seemed to have thought of something, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

   "So, a certain teleportation array nearby that you know, or some special portals? Tell me everything in detail."

  Colin stretched his brows, calmly stared at the boy in front of him, and continued to ask.

   "Okay, my lord." Ante nodded, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to explain in detail.

  But Colin suddenly raised his hand to stop Ante.

   "Someone is coming." He raised his head, pointed to the captain's room, and then waved away the silence.

   Stepping to the corner, like a puff of green smoke, it just disappeared into the shadows abruptly...

  The young Ante watched the scene where Colin disappeared, and finally realized why Colin knew the identities of several of them...

  He thought that when he talked with old Jack before, the mysterious wizard might have been by his side all the time, and he still felt a little creepy.

  The same is true for Anna and Old Jack on the side. Old Jack is even more diligent in observing, trying to find traces of Colin.

  However, the visitors walking towards the captain's cabin did not give them such time.

   "Tuk tuk tuk."

  Just two or three seconds later, there was a rapid knock on the door, and at the same time, a deep voice came.

   "Captain Jack, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we... I'm afraid we've encountered some trouble."
