this mage is dangerous

In the northeast corner of the mission hall, several figures stood quietly, as if waiting for someone.

As the "celebrities" of the academy, it is rare for the top cadres of the Arcane Society to get together in public.

Many young mages stopped to watch them and whispered.

"Isn't the president here yet?"

Darlene crossed her arms and looked a little irritated by the gazes around her.

"Should the president go find Boyne Orem?" Jennifer next to her said timidly with her head almost lowered to her chest.

Darlene looked at Jennifer's huge breasts, looked down at her toes, and turned her head away angrily.

"Pfft..."

Next to him, Cook couldn't hold it in any longer. He realized that Darlene was about to explode and quickly changed the subject, "I heard that the president brought Bone here just for this mission and also directly opened the authority of the research room to him."

"Not only that, the president also transferred this year's privilege, the opportunity to read the Nether Scroll, to Bone!" the short-haired boy next to him added.

"It is said that this task was issued a month ago. It was forwarded by the military department. The academy directly issued it to our Arcane Society. The president specifically found him to join the Arcane Society and complete the mission together."

"Hmph! I don't believe it. We could have failed without him. Because of his joining, Rodney is no longer here, and no one from the law enforcement team is here. We are here to investigate the situation, not to clean up. We have more people and more strength.

Big and powerful may not necessarily be useful." Darlene said angrily.

"This is not necessarily true. My brother graduated from the previous batch. He was in the military logistics department. When I went home last week, I specifically mentioned that the military had already fought against the Lizardmen. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Just

The caster sacrificed no less than double digits!" Cook said solemnly.

Seeing the nervous expressions on several other people's faces, they knew that what they said was too serious, so they immediately explained with a smile: "Actually, it's not that serious. We just went to investigate a small tribe. I heard that it was a tribe of lizard people who had just migrated over.

There are dozens of small tribes of lizardmen, and the reason is already known to the higher-ups. This time we are just allowed to go and exercise, and just go through the cutscenes."

In fact, they also know some things. In recent years, the death rate of military mages has been increasing year by year. The lower class may not know it, but the slightly powerful nobles all know it.

According to the past, spellcasters had to have certain mission experience to join the army, and would only be recruited from adventurers guilds outside the academy.

But starting last year, they were selected directly from graduating students, and the salary was astonishingly high.

The relaxed atmosphere just now suddenly cooled down, and Cook was a little embarrassed.

At this time, there was a commotion in the distance, and Cook's eyes lit up, "The president and Boyne are here!"

Several people looked up.

Bone was dressed in light clothing with a jointed chest and even leather armor, a long sword hanging on his waist, a steel crossbow and a package on his back.

If Bone's look is very fitting for a fully armed adventurer, then President Lisper is simply going to a ball.

Wearing a fiery red robe with a corset and red hair, she looks like a flaming rose. The rings and necklaces on her hands are even more shining with magical light.

When such a combination walks into the mission hall, the return rate is almost 100%.

The two of them walked in front of Cook and others.

"Is everything ready?"

The president asked, not caring about the looks around him, and Bone even ignored them.

"Well, everything is ready!"

"Okay." The president nodded.

"Let's get to know each other. You probably haven't seen them before. These are all ministers of the Arcana Society." He turned around and introduced to Bone.

"Cook, the one with short hair is Beron, and the two next to him are Darlene and Jennifer. Jennifer is the weakest and was promoted to an intermediate mage last month.

With the introduction from the president, Boyne was officially aware of the composition of the Arcane Society.

Although he does not require any other obligations to join the Arcane Society, after all, these people are also his little "leaders".

For the sake of the president, I was polite to a few senior officials for a while, and then walked out of the academy together.

The entrance to the college is still bustling with traffic and bustling.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bowen realized that he had never taken a serious look at this street after coming to the academy for several years. He always passed by it in a hurry.

"What's wrong?"

The president suddenly asked.

"It's okay. I would like to ask where we are going. Since the college has assigned off-campus missions, where is it? There should be a general range!" Bone asked.

The president gathered everyone in a circle and took out a map from the package.

"Our mission target is in the area west of the royal city, in the swamps near the hilly forests."

The map is a piece of light yellow parchment, marking some simple routes around the royal city and the terrain of each area.

"We start from the west gate, pass through here, and enter the swamp. If possible, capture a lizard man for interrogation."

The plan is simple and straightforward, and has been consistently approved by everyone.

Born was immediately shocked, so "steel"!

The president kept looking at him and asked, "Born, tell me what you think."

"Since we are all teammates now, I have some suggestions that will help with the mission."

"If you have any suggestions, just tell me directly." President Lisper obviously knew something and had been waiting for Bone to speak.

"The swamp is so big, and there are so few lizardmen in this tribe, it's definitely not easy to find. The swamp is muddy, and there are all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts..."

Boen said a lot and directly confused a few people.

Realizing that talking too much seemed to be of no use, he immediately took over the command.

"Come with me first!"

"OK!"

…

Bone led the way, and everyone followed behind.

Regarding the sudden change of command, the few people didn't say much. They seemed to understand why the president had summoned Bone, and they all followed him obediently.

Bone first found an old carriage, whispered a few words to the carriage, and then took the lead and got on the carriage.

The president followed without hesitation, and the others had no choice but to get on the carriage.

These people are all descendants of nobles, and this is the first time they have ridden in such a bad carriage.

Forget about the air leaking everywhere, as the carriage started to move, the whole car kept making a "creeping, clattering" noise. They all wondered whether the carriage would disintegrate directly on the road at the next moment.

Seeing Boyn leaning to the side, closing his eyes and concentrating, everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence to wait.

At the beginning, they walked along a straight line, and then started to make twists and turns. None of them knew where they were. When the coachman prompted to get off, Bone took the lead and jumped off.

When everyone got out of the car and found that it was at the intersection of a dark road, Bone threw a gold coin to the driver.

The coachman took over silently, turned the car around and left directly.

"Here, put on this cloak."

Bone took out several shabby black cloaks from the package.

Everyone was curious but didn't say anything. They obeyed and put on their cloaks.

"Follow me and don't talk. No matter who or what happens to you, don't bother or talk."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.

Bone walked in first. The alley was very long, dark and narrow, and could barely accommodate two people walking through it at the same time.

There were many forks in the road. Born led the way. After turning a few corners, there was a disabled old man lying on the ground sleeping.

Without waiting for anyone to be surprised, Bone stepped forward and whispered a few more words.

The old man opened his eyes, glanced at Bone, and then glanced at the others.

Everyone seemed to be stared at by a poisonous snake, and the hairs on their bodies stood up.

The old man shook his feet, and the originally crooked and crippled feet miraculously straightened.

The old man walked to a wall and knocked a few times. The wall opened like a door.

Bone walked past the old man and walked in. The people behind him were too shocked to speak and followed closely behind him.

At the moment when Beron, who was walking last, "closed" the wall, he saw from the corner of his eye that the old man was back to being "disabled" and lying on the ground sleeping.

There was still a small alley in the wall, but as everyone walked forward, they found that the alley gradually became wider.

When you walk around a corner, your view instantly becomes much wider.

A market-like street appeared in front of everyone.

Most of the people here wear cloaks similar to theirs, or wear masks.

There is no sound of hawking in the market. A square cloth is placed in front of the "hawker" with the price marked and various strange things. Even if someone looks at it, they will not ask about the sales.

There are all kinds of things, and some weapons and equipment even have blood stains on them.

A few people also saw a lot of precious magic materials. Some of them didn't even have prices, so they just put up a sign saying what they wanted to exchange.

By this time, they knew where this was without Bone's need to tell them.

black market!
