Extraordinary Sailing

sunny.

In subtropical Georgia, spring always comes earlier than elsewhere.

Da da da..

Four carriages with the coat of arms of the Garriott family "Sea Serpent Crowned with Thorns" passed a wooden bridge over the river downstream of the waterfall hill, and stopped slowly at the edge of the lush coniferous forest under the high tower of the wizard of the "Activation School" .

A group of teenagers who had already changed into gray apprentice robes obeyed the command and jumped out of the carriage, forming two not so neat rows on the edge of the forest. Looking at the somewhat dark and dense coniferous forest in front of them, some people are uneasy, while others are eager to try.

All kinds of faint noises in the forest came from my ears. No one suspected that there were wild beasts, but they didn't know if there were any dangerous carnivores.

Among them, the eager ones include Little Dick, who has just turned eleven years old and has abandoned his family tradition of "gunner" to embrace "wizard". At this time, not only was he not afraid, but he was still winking with his new companions.

These children are the twenty-three teenagers in the territory who have wizard aptitude and have a good compatibility with the 'Activation School' in the last enrollment plan.

The oldest of them is no more than 16 years old, and the youngest has just turned 10. There are fourteen boys and nine girls.

There is no sorrow at this age. After being out of the sight of their parents, most of them are like wild horses that have run free. Although he didn't dare to be mischievous during the few days he stayed in the Governor's Mansion, his true nature was gradually exposed.

In fact, although Angie and Calvin are both 15 years old, their previous experience is obviously much more mature than their actual age, which also makes Aiwen worry less.

Calvin, who was wearing the same style of apprentice robe but with a golden tree of life badge on his left chest, clapped his hands. After everyone had looked over, he raised his head and held his chest out in the posture of the second senior brother, and said solemnly:

"Okay, everyone follow me, be careful not to fall behind. Senior sister An Qi is not here today, and the demonized creatures in the coniferous forest are not too obedient."

Hearing the word "magic creature", no matter how mischievous the guy was, he immediately died down.

The living environment of the New World is far less friendly than that of the Old World, and "violent beasts" and "magical creatures" have therefore become common characters in children's stories.

It was a terrifying monster comparable to a formal knight, a terrifying existence that even a large group of hunters with rifles would not want to face.

If there is a different world version of the "Why are there so few crooked nuts" series, you may not be able to find this kind of crazy warrior.

Under the leadership of Calvin, a group of people trembled through the coniferous forest guarded by Medora splits and demonized creatures. The steep stone steps and the howling of beasts were enemies.

This road is very simple for the extraordinary, but it is really difficult for them, and it is not until the sun is about to set that they finally reach the halfway up the mountain.

The moment they walked out of the forest, they were exhausted physically and mentally, and they almost felt reborn.

But no one knew that Calvin was talking nonsense in a serious manner at the beginning. Even if An Qi was not there, it was impossible for the demonized beasts in the forest to attack his apprentices.

In fact, now that the high tower [Transportation Gate] has been completed, it is no problem for them to teleport here directly from the Governor's Mansion in Brunswick, but entering the Wizard Tower and embarking on the path of wizard apprenticeship is not for their enjoyment.

If you want to go long on the path of wizards, you will always be accompanied by countless risks such as pollution, curse, loss of control, madness, etc., among which there is no comfort.

I just don't know how many of this group of apprentices can experience the importance of perseverance, perseverance, and prudence on the path of wizards through this mountain road.

On the flat stone platform carefully developed here, a towering tower stands quietly.

The whole body is composed of hard light gray granite, and the total height from the tower base to the pointed top reaches 30 meters. "Venom" completely covered the outer walls of the entire wizard tower, and against the lush trees on the mountain, it seemed to be an indescribably huge green giant tree.

And today, in order to welcome the arrival of the first batch of apprentices, Medora, who has been promoted to become the head steward of the wizard tower, deliberately turned off the hidden function that is usually turned on.

A group of teenagers standing under the tower will feel dizzy when looking at the high spire.

Who has seen such a tall building in the New World? Even the Iron Cross Cathedral, the tallest in the colony, does not have the grandeur of the Wizard Tower.

at the same time.

-

Two huge horned eagles with a wingspan of nearly five meters circled around the top of the tall tower for a circle, and then disappeared suddenly.

That is a real "magic creature", a "magic creature" belonging to his own school!

Dazzled, they were about to follow Calvin to the gate of the wizard tower.

clack clack

At the entrance of the spire-shaped arch of the high tower, two rock knight sculptures standing with swords gave a welcome ceremony, and then stretched out their hands to push open the gate of the wizard tower for them.

The previous ones were still within their comprehension, but the moving rock sculptures completely broke their inherent cognition.

This scene not only pushed open the gate of the wizard tower for the exclaimed teenagers, but also opened the gate of a whole new world. A seed of seeking truth has been planted in their hearts, and one day it will take root and grow into a new towering tree.

"Everyone, welcome to the wizard tower of our "Activation School"!"

Calvin opened his arms wide, full of vigor.

Although the two official wizards of the school were not there, the admission of apprentices had already been scheduled. With Calvin and Midora who had already completed the basic studies, the normal enlightenment work could already begin.

The well-equipped common room on the first floor and the living area on the second floor in the wizard's tower will be officially opened to them.

Aiwen has already formulated the regulations of the Wizard Tower, and his personal disciples Angie and Calvin have part of the management authority of the Wizard Tower.

These new ordinary apprentices will first study in a large class, and then they may become Aiwen's real disciples after being recognized. The alien apprentice is essentially Aiwen's familiar, and the focus of learning is different.

at this time.

Olivia, who came directly to the residence of the tower owner on the seventh floor through the completed [portal gate] in the wizard tower, looked at the scene under her feet. While I am happy for Ai Wen because of the growth of the "Activation School", I can't restrain the faint worry in my heart.

Three days have passed since Aiwen took An Qi to look for the two apprentices in the "Dream Ritual" who had a good compatibility with the "Activation School", but they never came back.

In particular, Bess reported that the "psychic network" detected a super-large-scale spiritual wave erupting near Lake Huron that day, and the terrifying scene of thousands of alchemy bombs exploding on the island in the middle of the lake was difficult to avoid attracting attention.

It is easy to judge that Aiwen had a fierce battle with an unknown enemy, and some kind of accident happened in the end.

Even Milan's divination could not determine his whereabouts, and it was even difficult to determine his life and death.

Including the two people's uninterrupted exploration of the spiritual world every night has been suspended, which is the first exception in a long time.

Fortunately, the beacon anchorage "Lost City Poseidia" belonging to Ivan is normal, and even the tree of life as a beacon is lush and lush, with the help of "magnetite", it has almost covered the six-story ladder. The first floor of the city.

That means he's still alive and well.

But Olivia, who is still suffering, still stays in the spirit world every night, hoping to get news from Aiwen as soon as possible.

"Strange Ceiling."

When Ivan reopened his eyes and slowly regained consciousness, this was the first reaction in his mind.

Then.

Instantly recalled everything that happened before losing consciousness.

Whoosh—

Turning over like lightning, he jumped up and looked around.

He found himself in the cabin of an old sailing ship, and even his keen sense of smell allowed him to clearly smell the salty sea water.

Immediately afterwards, Ai Wen's face changed slightly, because An Qi was not by his side!

He rushed out of the cabin in two steps and flew to the deck, only then did he realize that this small sailboat, which is not much stronger than a small sampan, is the only one on board the small sailboat with Atrian style such as colorful paintings, colorful curtains, and black eagle totems. .

And even though there was not even the slightest wind on the green sea, the sailboat was still moving at an extremely fast speed.

A white sandy beach has appeared not far in front, no, it should be called a white desert, because this vast sandy beach extends to the end of the line of sight.

desolate dead silence

In the bare, pure white desert, everything withered, the only sand, earth, rocks and even the air had died, and even the activity of magic essence had become as cold and hard as stone.

"where is this place?"
