The Dean Has Arrived

Two moons, one red and one blue, hung high in the night sky, making this night extraordinarily bright, and even the bright Milky Way seemed much dimmer under the contrast of the two moons.

Interestingly, even in a different world, the combination of the three primary colors has not changed. The result of the mutual reconciliation of red and blue is that all the trees and buildings on the ground are covered with a layer of tulle-like faint purple light.

In many places in the Eastern Plains, there are rumors such as "the time of double moons, the moment of sewing demons", saying that it is most likely to encounter some harmful monsters on the night when the double moons gather.

The fact is also the same, although the specific reason has not been grasped until now, but there are indeed many monsters that will enter a state of extra excitement when the two moons are out, and the weak social monsters like goblins will be even more so. Symptoms similar to madness appeared. On such nights, groups of goblins would frantically attack human villages in remote areas.

Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Xi Wei.

He yawned heavily, his face was full of sleepiness that had not yet fully awakened from his sleep, and he staggered behind Headmaster Bruno. Besides the two of them, only Mrs. Lauren followed behind Principal Bruno.

It was midnight now, and there was a curfew at the Orian Academy, so they didn't meet anyone else along the way.

"So where are you going to take me?"

After yawning, Xi Wei's spirits improved a bit. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes due to yawning, and asked the silent old man in front of him.

During the day in the principal's office until the end, the old man did not explain the specific matters in detail. He kept talking about him from left to right, but mysteriously said that only Xi Wei had the ability to explore Lange's treasure by himself.

Until just now, the old man knocked on the door of his bedroom and said that he would go to the entrance of the treasure with him.

"Little Edric, your memory needs to be exercised. Didn't the old man just say that we are going to the location of Lange's treasure now?"

Bruno stroked his long white beard. Without the majesty of the past at all, he said like an old child.

I don't know whether the other party is so excited because he will find the treasure immediately, or because he wants to numb himself through this performance. So although Xi Wei still had a sleepy expression of lack of interest, he had already kept an eye on his mind, and his drowsy mind was almost clear.

Thus. He immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Wait... we were still on the second floor just now," he stared wide-eyed, looking around.

The surrounding furnishings are full of strong Baroque style, but in Xi Wei's impression just now, the surrounding decorations seem to be in the Roman style.

Unlike foreign-style mansion castles that look similar no matter how many floors, the furnishing of Huolian Magic Academy has a different style on each floor, let alone someone like Xi Wei who has stayed for a while, even if he just came to the academy One or two days should not be too wrong.

"Why, it seems that it suddenly became the third floor?"

"The Lost Corridor, there are many rumors related to it among the people. For example, the so-called disappearance of the gods. There are also ships that suddenly disappeared in certain sea areas, but appeared a few days later in extremely distant sea areas that could not have appeared... But the academy The Lost Corridor in the school is not that powerful, and there is a saying among the students that it is a 'non-existent shortcut'."

Instead of Bruno's answer, Mrs. Lauren, who didn't say a word all the way: "This is a very rare magical phenomenon in nature. The reason is unknown, let alone an analytical principle. Because of its extremely rare characteristics, The Mage Association has yet to make a conclusion on the existence of this phenomenon. However, Mr. Klapach Lange, the legendary great mage, has fixed this extremely rare natural magic phenomenon in the castle, greatly increasing the probability of its occurrence Even because of encountering the thinking of this phenomenon object, it will affect the connection point of the entrance and exit of the lost corridor."

Xi Wei nodded thoughtfully - in this way, it can explain why it is a'shortcut'.

"And at certain specific moments, there's a 100 percent chance of that happening."

At the pawn of Mrs. Lauren's stop. Bruno also added: "For example now."

Just as Xi Wei was still thinking about what Bruno meant, the two people walking in front of him stopped.

Driven by curiosity, Xi Wei also walked up quickly.

This is the end of the corridor, but there is no window around, making this corner look extremely dark. There is a huge hanging picture on the wall.

The picture hanging on the picture shows that a creature like a demon is massacring a group of humans or sub-humans. On the picture, corpses are piled up in mountains and blood flows into rivers. But what is really surprising is not this. At the bottom of the picture, there was only a painted sea of ​​blood, but at this moment, there is really a bright red liquid oozing from the painting, flowing through the frame, and dripping on the ground. The bright red liquid that has been dripping for an unknown amount of time has already accumulated into a small puddle, and a faint fishy smell fills the end of the corridor.

It's not that Xi Wei at the end of this corridor has never been here before. After all, it's normal to get lost in a huge castle at the beginning... Although I don't remember what the content of this hanging picture is, I can be sure that it is definitely not how you look at it. It doesn't look like a good Shura picture scroll.

Obviously, this should be the "Sura Picture Scroll When the Two Moons Reflect" which is one of the seven mysteries along with the "Non-Existent Shortcut".

"The three-pillar demon god who rules the Styx."

"One of the pillars: the crawling princess of the black iron coffin, ruling over all tangible and qualitative things in the river Styx."

"Pillar Two: The wreckage of the dancing undead, ruling over all things tangible and insubstantial in the River Styx."

"The third pillar: the fake object of the extreme black vault jade, ruling all the invisible and insubstantial things in the Styx."

Following Bruno's chanting, Shura's picture scroll seemed to fade suddenly, and the tone of the whole painting suddenly changed from glaring bright red to grayish white. Then, two large blood-red characters appeared on it against the background of a gray-and-white image: Password.

"The bones of the Dark Dragon King are scattered all over the place, and the souls of the unjustly dead are as vast as a sea. Under the witness of the lost corridor, with Lange's blood as the basis, come back, come back, come back."

After Bruno repeated "Come back" three times, the two-meter-high scroll seemed to be torn apart, revealing a big hole with a faint blue light.

"This is Lange's treasure?" Xi Wei looked at the big hole suspiciously.

"That's right, there should be a lot of mechanisms inside to deal with intruders. However, there is a special barrier on the entrance of the cave, and magicians of high rank and above cannot enter..." Bruno let out a long breath, Xi Wei He noticed that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and even his pale but lustrous hair had dried up quite a bit at this time. It seemed that the chanting just now was not as easy as it seemed on the surface: "Perhaps the legend `The mage can break the barrier, but at least the old man can't do it now."

"Why don't you find some middle-level magicians to form a team to enter, so the success rate can be greatly increased?"

Xi Wei asked strangely. Although he thought that he would not be inferior to anyone among middle-level magicians, even if he had a good chance of winning against high-level magicians, one person's power is limited after all, and it is obviously more difficult to form a team. There is an advantage.

"Because we can't make sure that there will be no spies from the Mages Association." When Bruno smiled wryly, Mrs. Lauren replied on her behalf: "If Lange's treasure is known over there, we will be very passive."

Speaking of which, Xi Wei finally understood.

Because he was afraid that the news about the treasure in his hands would be known by the Mage Association, he could only find someone like him who had almost broken with the Mage Association. Compared with a behemoth like the Mage Association, dealing with a small family like Xi Wei Nature is relatively simple. Of course, maybe Bruno and the others still have the idea of ​​​​preserving the middle-level combat effectiveness of the academy.

So the question now is whether to enter the suspicious-looking treasure entrance...
