Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 48: Two "Students"
Naturally, the students who had already gone far could not hear the conversation between the two teachers.
Galantre and Al chose to go downstream along the creek. The main thing is that neither of them wants to go into the forest, so there are really not many places to choose - along the banks of the creek, the two of them walked all the way forward, and also found a lot of strange plants. However, they only found one of the flowers that bloomed in the summer, and the two of them picked a flower by themselves, and when they came back to their senses, they could no longer see the shadow of the camp behind them.
"Are we going too far?" said Kelanthal, tugging at Al, "Let's go back?"
"What about the mission?" said Al, helpless, "and found a flower." We're going to be criticized when we go back, right? And Mr. Leolante won't let us in. ”
“...... Then let's be careful, I always feel like someone is watching us," Callantel suddenly drew his sword and looked around warily.
"So you have it too?" Al's stunned, "I've felt like someone was watching us since the camp, but I just didn't feel the source......
He took off his short bow from his back, stretched out his bow and arrows, and stood back to back with Kelanthal in a defensive stance.
"Who's following us?" Al looked calm, "If you don't mean it, come out and talk to us!"
Of course, there will be no malice, they have been away from the camp for so long, the other party has already done it if they want to, but since they have followed them all the way, there must be other purposes - even the enemy can negotiate for peace, not to mention that the other party has not yet shown hostility.
“......”
There was no response, but the two remained preoccupied on guard.
It's been a long time.
"Has my stealth level regressed?"
A frustrated murmur suddenly sounded, and Al almost couldn't help but shoot the arrow. He nervously watched where the voice was coming from, and a figure slowly appeared in the air—
The leather armor accentuated the tight figure, the long flaxen hair was loosely draped behind the head, and the youthful and beautiful figure and beautiful appearance made both Al and Kelantel shine - this was a beautiful female assassin.
Beautiful, emphasized. Moreover, it still looks like a peer.
"Young lady, why are you following us?" Al clenched the short bow in his hand, and the beautiful face of the other party did not make him let his guard down, "You are not from our team, are you...... Wait, mercenaries?"
He saw the mercenary badge on the other man's chest.
Although it was a loss to stare at the chest of the opposite sex like this, Al's eyes were indeed drawn to the badge - the creator god is above, what is it? Black Iron Badge? Looking at the age of a peer about their age!
"Put away your lewd gaze, fool," the female assassin frowned, looking at Al with an unusually cold voice, "I'm just going to ask you." You're not from the town, and you're not even mercenaries. Who are you, and what are you doing in town?"
“...... You've this young lady, Al. Galantel poked Al and replied in a low voice, "We are students from Randmund, and we have two Gold-Rank teachers with us. Are you a mercenary in this town, beautiful lady, because the teacher doesn't allow us to enter the town, so we don't know the rules around here......"
"Student?" the teenage assassin frowned, "the camp over there is yours?"
"Yes, ma'am, we're staying there for the time being," Al also recovered from the shock, and immediately realized what a stupid thing he had done. It seemed that the lady had thought of herself as a lewd person, but he still wanted to save a little of his image, so he rushed to reply.
"And what are you doing here?" the teenage assassin asked, "It's the town's farmland over there, why are you going to the farmland?"
"Our teacher has given us a task...... "Al finished the matter in a few words, and then asked suspiciously, "What about you, beautiful young lady, you seem to be the same age as us, but you are already a black iron mercenary—you should also be a black iron professional?"
"Yes, Black Iron Class," the teenage assassin admitted, "I'm also a student and on my way to Randmond. ”
"Are you also a freshman at Reims Academy?" said Galantle's eyes widened.
"Are you too?" the teenage assassin looked at them and was stunned, but still reached out and took out the admission letter, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Satya, I'm from Adu, and I'm a trainee assassin. ”

The other side. The elven girl Alania chose to go to the forest.
The forest makes the elves feel happy from the heart, and for a forest priest, the forest is a source of their own strength. Forest priests can perceive the simple emotional reactions of plants, which will point them to a clear path through the forest, for whom no forest is unfamiliar.
The priests of the forest were naturally well-versed in botany, so Alania easily saw through the linguistic traps set by the two teachers. In the current taxonomy of animals and plants that is in common with "kingdom-species-line-class", there are too many plant species that can be included under the same "class". Moreover, there is a slight convergence of plants in the same area, sometimes two flowers that look completely different are the same "kind" of plants, while two flowers with similar appearance are very different in botanical classification. But none of this bothered Alania.
This is indeed not the time for plants to bloom on a large scale, but if you look carefully, you can still find small buds hidden behind a patch of green. So it didn't take long for Alania to find all five flowers. But she knew that the two teachers had assigned this task to let the students go out into the wilderness, and if they went back too early, they probably wouldn't be able to enter the camp, and they might be assigned other more difficult tasks, so the clever Alania put away the five flowers and began to wander around the forest—
For her, there really is no difference between a visit to the forest and a visit to her own garden. Even if she's just a Vine Whisperer of the Black Iron Rank.
It's just that she didn't go far before she heard the sound of battle.
A mercenary here?, Alania leaned over curiously as she disguised herself from the jungle.
Through the trees, a small clearing in the distance could be seen, where a young magician was dealing with a magical beast - it might be a bit problematic to say "deal with", because the magical beast had been bombarded by the magician the whole time, and the magic that occasionally returned fire was either missed or detonated by the magician's instantaneous simple magic air. When Alania first arrived, the beast's cry sounded imposing, but it didn't take half a minute for it to whimper and run back into the forest—because it was obscured by the light and shadow of magic, Alania couldn't even see the beast's appearance.
"Magicians, although they are all low-level magic, they are so skillful, and they must be a strong man who has been in a hundred battles. ”
Alania didn't want to bother. She used her jungle affinity talent to carefully cover her figure, and turned to leave—
Then, suddenly, a row of skeletons appeared in front of him.
"Ahh
Alania shouted, and subconsciously waved her staff, and vines burst out of the ground, wrapping the skeletons in an instant. This is the "Vine Restraint", one of the most powerful skills of the "Vine Whisperer" Black Iron Rank, she used this to strengthen the fence of the camp yesterday, and today she also subconsciously used this move in the face of danger. The strength of these vines is not high, it is about the same as ordinary hemp rope, but the bones of these skeletons seem to be too fragile, just wrapped in these vines, there are clear cracks in their bones - Alania tightened the vines, and after a while, there was a clear sound of bones breaking inside, and then from the cracks of the vines poured out streams of purple energy.
"Death energy?
Alania looked at the shattered skeleton that had fallen to the ground, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Necromancer is a not very common, but not very scarce subclass in the Lanman Continent, its superior class is magician, but specializes in undead summoning and undead enhancement. When necromancy first came out, it was subject to very serious discrimination on the mainland, and many people thought that this kind of magic desecrated the dead and should not continue to exist, but after many well-known great magicians at that time carefully analyzed the mechanism and core of the undead summoning technique, they found that it only opened the summoning channel with the help of death energy, and the vast majority of the undead summoned were not born by the environment of the Lanman Continent itself, that is to say, the undead were all from an unknown place, and the Lanman Continent's own facial features- After that, the necromancer officially and legally joined the mainland profession sequence.
Because necromancy is essentially summoning, it must also conform to the basic logic of summoning, such as summons have a time limit, the strength and duration of the summons are subject to the summoner himself, and the summoning circle will be lifted by itself after serious injuries and death-
As soon as she thought of this, a dazzling purple six-pointed star circle lit up under the group of skeletons, and Alania subconsciously covered her eyes, and when she came back to her senses, the scattered skeletons on the ground were gone.
“...... It's not instantaneous? It's weird. ”
Alania muttered, but didn't leave directly. She turned and walked over to the glade, and saluted the mage who was frustrated and frustrated as she looked at the remnants of the battlefield.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Magician. ”
"Didn't bother. Are you an elf?" the magician saluted her with a look of frustration and asked, "Are you Mr. Chris's daughter?"
"What?" Alania was stunned for a moment, "Who's Mr. Chris?"
"Ah...... Nothing, I was wrong. The magician shook his head, "You're a traveler?"
"No, I'm a student from Randmon," Alania said, "with two Golden-tier teachers leading the group. They set us the task. ”
She deliberately pointed out the existence of the two Golden Orders.
"Ah...... Student, as it happens, I'm also a student, but I'm a mercenary at the moment. The magician straightened his collar, "My name is Delkora, Delkora Yogul, and what about you, Miss Elven?"
"Alania Wood Whisperer. Nice to meet you. Was that the undead you summoned just now?"
"Yes, they're all very weak guys, and they look like they're scaring you. Delcora apologized to Alania for taking off her hat, but her eyes shone with bewilderment.
Wasn't I gathering materials in the forest to the south to prepare? Wasn't that group of students in the west?
It's more than 20 kilometers away, how can you run into them like this?
Moreover, I actually met someone from the Wood Whisperer family...... Sure enough, this team is very high......
"It's me who is too nervous, and it's me who bothered you first. Alania said, "You look like you're my age. Are you also a freshman who is going to Reims to sign up?"
"Yes, we will be classmates in the future. Del Cora took out a roll of Reims College admission letter to prove his identity, and said, "Can you tell me about you? I'm from Adu and don't know much about Reims. Can you tell me about the teachers and classmates?"
