The most powerful wizard in the magic world

He looked at the glowing badge in his hand and felt a little relieved. He finally escaped from the secret place. Although he could still hear the roar and pursuit of the enemy behind him, he knew that he could be safe for the time being.

"Throw it away," Maria said in a deep voice, frowning, obviously still uneasy about what they had been through. "This thing is too dangerous."

Gerlin hesitated for a moment, thinking that the meaning of this badge was not simple. It meant power, and the potential to manipulate magic. However, in Maria's eyes, it was more like a hidden danger that could cause trouble at any time.

"But..." He finally threw the badge, letting it roll to the ground and gradually covered by the dead leaves in the jungle. "You're right, I can't take any more risks."

"We need to find a safe place now." Maria looked around, her face still tense. "I feel like the enemy has no intention of giving up the pursuit."

Gerlin nodded and moved forward cautiously with Maria. They walked in this unfamiliar forest, with towering trees blocking out the sun. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight shone through, reflecting on the ground, appearing particularly soft.

"Do you still remember the legend?" Maria suddenly asked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"Which legend?" Gerlin thought for a moment, the scene of the previous battle still flashing in his mind from time to time.

"Some say this forest is the gateway to a hidden place that can protect those who are being pursued," she said softly. "Perhaps we can try and find that path."

"I don't really believe this story," Garlin said, making no secret of his skepticism. "All we can do is keep moving forward."

"Gerlin, you have to know that people always need faith." Maria turned her head and met his eyes. "Even in desperate situations, you can't give up hope."

He felt the firmness in her words, and a warm feeling rose in his heart, so he closed his mouth and continued to move forward. The silence around him was disturbing, as if even the wind had stopped.

There was a slight noise in front of him, and Gerling stopped alertly. He whispered, "Be careful."

Maria quickly approached him, "What's going on?"

"Listen!" He pricked up his ears to determine the direction of the sound. At this moment, they saw a huge shadow flash through the bushes.

"It's the enemy!" Maria exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes wide open. At the same time, a beam of light came towards them, and Gerlin instinctively pulled her behind him, like a lost antelope struggling in the dark night.

"Quick, run to the left!" he shouted, leading her to avoid the beam. They ran quickly through the trees, their hearts beating like war drums.

"They will catch up with us soon, we must find a hiding place!" Maria gasped, taking deep breaths of air, her face pale.

"That legend." Gerlin suddenly remembered, "The secret space you mentioned! Maybe we can find the entrance!"

"But we don't know where it is!" Maria's voice was filled with helplessness.

"We can try to look for it!" Gerling said, trying to keep his voice calm. "Look, we can search while running! Once we find it, we can go in!"

"Okay," Maria nodded, with a glimmer of expectation and determination in her eyes.

The two ran together, and the trees retreated rapidly. Finally, they found an open area in front of them. Although it was surrounded by tall trees, only this open area was covered with thick moss, like a natural shelter.

"We could probably hide here," Gerling suggested, running over with Maria, trying to calm himself.

"Gerlin, look over there!" Maria suddenly pointed to a corner of the open area. There was a tiny hole there, emitting a faint green light.

"A way out!" he said happily, and ran straight towards the light. This hole seemed to lead to some unknown space, which made people feel a little hesitant, but at this moment, there seemed to be no better choice.

"Let's go in..." Maria's voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously a little scared.

"It's necessary. There's no time to hesitate!" Gerlin grabbed her hand and walked towards the cave without hesitation.

The two squeezed into the narrow cave entrance together, and the light around them suddenly became dim. Behind them were the sounds of approaching footsteps and faint shouts, but inside the cave, it was a different kind of tranquility.

"Are we really safe?" Maria whispered in the darkness.

"They should be," Gelling said, trying to sound firm. "They can't get in."

The entrance to the cave was a winding passage, covered with wet moss, which made people feel a little cold. They moved forward cautiously, and occasionally heard rustling sounds, as if telling the secrets of this place.

“If there really is a hidden space, it means that there was human activity in this place.” Maria whispered, as if trying to find some topics to talk about.

“Yes,” Gellin replied, and began to recall the ancient books he had read. “Someone once lived here. This place may be a refuge they left for their descendants.”

"How long can we stay here?" She suddenly stopped, a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, "Will we be trapped?"

"I don't think so," he consoled her. "It's unlikely that the enemy will come in. It should be safer to stay here."

At this moment, a faint light came from the end of the passage. Gerling went to check the details and saw that the light source seemed to come from a spacious space. "Quick, come here!" He waved excitedly.

Maria followed him out of the passage, and suddenly a bright space appeared in front of her. It was a space as bright as the starry sky, surrounded by various plants, and light shone through them, illuminating the entire area.
