The Wizard World

More than ten days passed. Finally the ship docked again. Yuri and Violet got off the boat with several other apprentices, and left with the people waiting on the shore.

Only Angelet and two other apprentices from other countries whom they didn't know were left on board. Then there was the black-robed lord.

The four continued sailing for two days and arrived at their final destination - Eikenhain. It means the land of the rising sun.

"This is the final destination. Get off the boat." The black-robed man pressed a switch on the side of the boat, and the thick and wide boarding board suddenly fell down and rested on the sea bridge below.

"There are two wizarding organizations here: Ram's Answer Academy, and Liliaduo's Hut. Follow the signposts yourself. This is very close to the wizard's residence, and there is nothing unusually dangerous."

After getting off the boat, the black-robed man left the three of them on the shore after explaining a few words. He boarded the boat by himself and left soon.

The entire coast is empty, and the morning sun shines on the beach, reflecting a large piece of golden sand.

Angelet glanced at the other two, but said nothing. Turn around and head inland. He noticed that there was a trace of a path worn out by frequent walking on the ground, and in the coconut grove not far away, a road sign could be vaguely seen standing. A man in a gray and white robe was standing there quietly waiting for them.

half an hour later......

Under the leadership of the man in the gray and white robe, the three of Angelet stood in front of the ruins of a huge ancient city.

The surface of the dilapidated city wall of the ancient city gives people a disgusting feeling like the inner wall of a sewer pipe, gray and black, covered with turquoise plant vines. Some huge black thick tree roots twisted and lying on the road. From time to time, hoarse and strange screams came from the sky.

"This is the academy that Ram told me about. You are here, you two, follow me." The man leading the way said lightly.

Angelet stood where he was, watching the three of them leave quickly. He was standing on the deck of a stone bridge outside the ancient city. There are fine gray and white pebbles and fresh green moss underfoot.

Angelet walked forward for a distance, and pulled out the magic ring hanging from his chest. Carefully remove it. Place it on a stone brick platform to the left of the city gate.

Amidst the puffing sound, a black crow flew down and stood on the platform. Staring at the ring with scarlet eyes, he fiddled with it lightly with his paw.

"Young man, it's a new young man. New blood." The crow began to speak. There was a sense of vicissitudes in the voice. Very sharp, as if speaking under suffocation. "I'm Morog the watcher. Since you have the enchanted item, you can go in according to the rules. It's been a few years since there have been any newcomers from there." It turned to look at Angelet and said, Angmar.

"Nice to meet you, Master Morog the watcher." Angelet saluted the crow before carefully taking back the ring and putting it on his neck again. "I went in."

He walked into the city gate, and behind him came the sound of crows flapping their wings and taking flight.

The entire ancient city is like a sand pile model made of khaki silt. There are traces of weathering everywhere on the walls and buildings, and small holes as fine as sand are everywhere. Angelet felt as if he had walked into the ruins of an ancient Egyptian city. In addition to the yellow sand color in the field of vision, it is still yellow sand color.

A gust of wind blew, and a layer of yellow dust rolled up on the ground. A few dry leaves fluttered in the wind. After rolling a few times, it slapped onto Angelet's black boots.

"Are you a newcomer here?" A strange male voice came from the far left of Angelet.

He followed the sound and looked over. A tall man in a gray robe was standing in the corner, waving at him.

This man had broad shoulders, loose hair, and a fleshy face. He didn't look like an apprentice or a wizard, but more like a highland savage in a biography. "Lord Morog has informed me. What token do you hold from our academy?"

Angelet walked over quickly and nodded. Tear the jeweled ring from his neck and hand it to him.

The man took it and took a closer look. "It's a pity, it's a fast-explosive ring, and it seems to have special skills. But it has been damaged. It seems that it can't be repaired." He shook his head regretfully. Return the ring to Angelet.

"Come with me, I'll take you into the academy. There are quite a lot of people enrolled this year, counting you, there are already more than twenty, but you are really the only one who came from across the sea by boat."

"Really? But isn't this the academy?" Angelet looked around. Apart from the man in the gray robe, there was no one else.

"How could our college be built in such ruins. Even if it declines a bit, it won't reach this point. My name is Ai Luoda, you can call me Ai Luo, and I will be responsible for picking up and sending newcomers to the women's department."

"My name is Angelet, brother Ailuo? You can call me by my full name." Angelet replied politely.

"No, I'm just an apprentice like you, and don't call me big brother. I just turned fourteen this year." Ai Luo cast a dissatisfied glance at Angelet.

Fourteen....

Angelet looked at Ai Luo's appearance again speechlessly.

With a height of more than two meters, broad shoulders and a broad body, it is equivalent to two of his weight. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and his eyes gleamed fiercely. Walk with one step at a time. It seems that the weight is about 300 catties...

"Okay...okay, Ai Luo, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"Okay." Ai Luo suddenly became cold. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Angelet calling him big brother.

The two of them made seven or eight turns in the city one after the other, and finally walked into a small house. A raised underground passage stands in the middle of the small house. The gate is two black stone slabs, with two yellow-green diamond-shaped gemstones inlaid on them. It is the size of a fist.

Ai Luo walked to the door, bowed his head and made a weird gesture.

"Eloda Simba," he whispered.

With a creaking sound, the stone door slowly opened inward. A staircase leading to the underground below is revealed. On both sides of the wall of the stairs, there are a pair of burning torches at intervals, illuminating the entire passage extremely brightly.

Elounda strode in. Angelet followed closely behind.

Just a few steps in, the sound of the stone door closing slowly came from behind.

The passage is made of small gray stone bricks the size of a palm, and the walls look old. Some stone bricks are also missing some gaps. The ground is also this gray stone brick. It is very smooth to step on.

The two walked in the passage, and the light from the torches on the wall turned the entire passage into a throbbing yellow. A burst of warm air continuously blows over from obliquely below. There was a smell in it that Angelet couldn't tell. It's not bad, but it's not good either, kind of like a mixture of musty and sweet-scented osmanthus.

Walked a distance. Aluda spoke again. "You are lucky. According to the arrangement of the wheels, you happened to be assigned a mentor with me, so I came out to pick you up. From now on, we will be students of a mentor."

"Really? Wheels? Are newcomers assigned in rotation?" Angelet asked casually.

"That's right, hand over the list you got to the instructor in advance, then rearrange the order and rearrange the numbers, and distribute them to each instructor according to the wheel. This is relatively fair." Elounda explained. "Now we are reporting directly to the tutor. At the beginning, the tutor will allow you to choose a study project, not those free basic subjects, but a fee-based project. I remind you, it is best to think carefully. This is a rare opportunity. If you want it in the future, you can only get it by spending magic stones or completing missions in exchange for record points.”

"Thank you for reminding me." Although Angelet was confused, he could also hear that Elounda reminded him kindly and kept it in his heart.

Both of them stopped talking and kept walking forward. Go through the stone brick passage, turn left and walk for a distance. Go through two forks. Finally came to a dark corridor full of rooms. At the end of the corridor, there was the largest room, with the door tightly closed.

Aruoda led Angelet to the room at the end, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Teacher, there is another newcomer in my period. I brought him here."

"Come in." A hazy voice came from inside.

With a click, the door opened automatically.

Eluda opened the door and led Angelet into the room.

This is a study room similar to that of ordinary nobles. In the middle of the room, next to the two large bookshelves, a large black-robed man with a hood on his back was facing the two of them, and was flipping through a thick dictionary-like book in his hand.

"The newcomer this time? Is it the newcomer assigned to me this time?" The voice of the man in black robe was unexpectedly sweet, and it was a young girl's voice.

"Yes."

The flames of the candlesticks on the table exploded.

"Take him to Fedoni, my time is up."

"yes."

Angelet looked at Elounda in bewilderment and nodded, then turned and walked out the door. Also had to follow behind. Inadvertently, he looked back again.

The man in black had already turned around and raised his head slowly.

The smiling face of a shriveled old woman came into Angelet's sight. What is even more chilling is that her left eye has no eyeball, but a brass pocket watch inlaid with it. A scar was drawn obliquely in the middle of the face, and the edge was stitched with needles and threads, like a corpse doll that was sewn up with needles and threads. If there is no needle and thread, it will fall apart into pieces of meat.

Angelet suppressed the fear in his heart. Turn your head away.

Are you going to study under this terrifying wizard in the future?

Even if he crossed over and killed so many people, Angelet couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This kind of character is definitely one of the best images even in horror movies on Earth.

"Are you scared? Hehe, Liliana's teacher was actually backlashed in a magic experiment, and her body suffered huge trauma, so she became what she is now." Elounda, who led the way, explained. "Actually, the instructor is very nice. When giving lectures, she is the most patient. Although there are very few apprentices who are willing to go to her to attend lectures." The gray-robed apprentice said helplessly.

"Really?" Angelet forced a smile.

This kind of mentor is like a corpse sewn up by needles and threads. If there are apprentices willing to go to her side, it will be called a ghost...
