Professor Honorome...... What day did you come back?" asked Morin, holding a cup of hot tea in the treehouse, puzzled.

At this time, Morin and Honorom were sitting around a wooden coffee table, one holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, a lighting crystal in the center of the coffee table was shining orange and red, and the dark twilight outside the window was a little cool.

Honorom had already changed out of the academy robe at this time, wearing a very casual soft leather jacket, hearing Mo Lin's question, he took a sip of hot tea with great enjoyment, and sighed: "Old Hanley's alchemy bottle is still useful, this pine needle tea has been left for more than a year, and the taste has not changed at all, but he is not bragging." As you can see, I just got back to school today, and I would like to thank you for helping to clean the house. ”

When Honoro Rom arrived at his office with the five Morin in the afternoon, he didn't seem to expect the whole room to be so depressed, and then embarrassedly said that his magic cards were all lost in the Black Forest, and he only had the cards he had just used in class—he had prepared them in a hurry before class, so he couldn't use cleaning magic.

The lowest-level [Cleaning Technique] of cleaning magic belongs to the second-ring magic, and the corresponding cards can only be used by the fourth-order magic class, and the Merlin people do not have this kind of magic cards.

Fortunately, there is a lot of strength in numbers, and the teenagers decide to help Honorom clean the house together.

Of course, the cleaning tools in the treehouse are not enough for so many people to use, but as the saying goes, the tools are not enough magic to make up, although there is no second ring of [Cleaning Technique] but there is a ring of [Breeze Technique], Marcas is clever and wants to use the breeze technique to clean the dust in the attic, and before Morin on the side has time to make a sound to stop him, he activated the white magic card and infused a lot of magic power.

Moments later, it was as if a dust bomb had exploded in the attic, and the two teenagers had to flee from the attic with their faces dirty.

Barron took on the task of carrying the water very consciously, and Honorom's treehouse was left unmaintained for a whole year, and the leaves of the shade trees were wilting and needed a lot of watering, while Barron was responsible for fetching water from the nearby lake again and again and watering the roots of the shade trees.

Tilna played a crucial role in the battle as the commander - she monitored and evaluated everyone's clean-up efforts: "Barron, you took five more seconds to go back and forth this time, and the next trip should be faster, otherwise there will be no training effect." Professor Honorom, you still have seven weapons and two armors left unmaintained, so hurry up. Evennor, you haven't wiped this chair clean yet. ”

"I'm clean!" the little vampire's voice came from the third floor.

"On the left side of the pillar in the middle of the chair, I can see the dust, and the one on the left side of the table edge. The dark red beam of light in Tilna's right eye scanned the room back and forth, refusing to let go of a small speck of dust.

"If you see it, just wipe it off!" Evennor's voice came from overhead.

"I don't have a cloth. Tilna replied with reason.

"Okay, okay, here, here!" said the little vampire as she walked to the side of the stairs, but a sudden cough disrupted her steps.

"Maureen, Marcas, I've just finished sweeping this floor!" Avino screamed as she saw a terrible cloud of dust pouring out of the attic.

"Marcus did it!" Morin dissociated himself without hesitation: "He put a dust bomb in the attic!"

Xiao Hei also volunteered to participate in the cleaning, it is a relatively reliable one, holding a slender flame arm to control a large piece of rag with a levitation technique to wipe a few windows inside and out, six people plus a fire busy half of Orr to clean up the total four floors of the tree house up and down the attic.

In order to celebrate the victory in the battle, Honoro made a cup of astringent pine needle tea for each of them, and even took Xiao Hei to get a small cup, but Black Fire obviously didn't like the taste of the tea, grinned and tasted it, and then spat out two flames and ran back to Morin's ring marks.

"Professor, why did you only go back to school today, and what happened before?" Morin finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

The others also looked at Honorom, who had helped Minerma investigate the lost half-cut cane and the Eyes of the Order, marked by the Eyeless Eyes, who had almost killed him after tracking down Fez, and it all started on the night Honorrom tracked down the suspicious old man into the Black Forest.

......Hearing the young man's question, Honorom breathed a sigh of relief, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, and recalled: "This started thirteen years ago......

"Thirteen years ago, in the year of the holly flowers, chaos somehow broke through the order and the flame appeared directly in the royal capital of Lothar, this incident shocked the whole of Toldle, and the Holy Council commissioned several famous scholars to study the Lothar Tinder, and at the same time, the temple of some rumors about the survivors of that night also arranged a large number of people to investigate. ”

But what I didn't expect was that the tracking of both parties was in trouble. Honorom tapped his fingers rhythmically on the glass and said slowly:

"Scholars have spent years researching it, but the joint report shows that there is nothing wrong with it, and that the ancient flame in the record began to burn on the southeastern frontier of Todder as early as the Second Age, and that nothing like this has happened in such a long time. When the research failed, the council had to terminate the task, entrusting it to one of the scholars to continue the observation while the others moved on to other studies. ”

Merlin frowned displeased when he remembered the scholar in the lighthouse of the royal capital of Lothar who did not let his father enter the search and was suspected of harboring assassins.

"And the tracking of the temple, although some suspicious things were found in Lothar, but the in-depth pursuit of each clue finally found nothing, of course, this matter itself seems very suspicious, the temple of nature has repeatedly launched a large number of people to investigate the 'Lothar Nightmare' incident openly and covertly, and finally targeted the cultist organization known as the 'Wings of Twilight'. ”

"Wings of Dusk!" several people whispered.

They had heard from Minelma that when she accused Faith of being a member of the Wings of Dusk, Faith said that the organization was just a perimeter to them.

Honorome nodded: "We didn't know much about this cult organization operating in the shadows before, and we always thought that they were a group of madmen who wanted to extinguish the fire of order, the Todder Continent has a large population, and there have always been crazy people like this, and the large and small cults they form on the continent are also different, and the Wings of Dusk are not outstanding compared to other cult organizations, and they have not caused too bad incidents, so the temple has never paid too much attention to this organization." ”

"Until 'Lothar's Nightmare' indexed the line onto this cult. Honorom continued:

"But the temple soon discovered that we knew very little about this organization, and that this cult was unusually tight and hidden, and that some of the people we were able to arrest didn't even know who their superiors were, and they were just inconsequential little people who had been coerced and lured. In order not to startle the snake, the temple withdrew most of its manpower, and only sent people to follow a few clues that were most likely to go deeper. ”

"One of them was what Minelma and I tracked last summer. ”

"It's the vicious-looking old man who took me to the Gundi Forest?!" exclaimed Merlin.

"Yes, there is evidence that he was active in the royal capital of Lothar and had contact with some of the lowest cultists, we thought he should have some place in the Wings of Dusk with more information, and Minelma and I followed him from the edge of the realm of the dead all the way to the southern realm of Lothar, but he took you captive to the Gundi Forest. ”

"And it also involves this core organization known as the 'Eyes of the Past'. ”

"Huh," Morin was stunned, "do you already know?"

The name "Eyes of the Past" was seen by the boy from a manuscript in Bergrom, saying that the people of this mysterious organization marked by pupilless eyes called their organization the Eyes of the Past, and the boy thought that Professor Honorom had just returned and did not know this information.

"I had already reported and learned about the relevant news in the Temple of Nature before I went back to school, but I didn't expect Professor Faith to be a member of this organization, but unfortunately we couldn't find it early and arrest him in time, I must say here that you did a good job. Honorom praised.

"Have you seen my sister?" Marcus couldn't help but ask, "She's been worried about you." ”

"No, I learned from the law enforcement team, and she's probably still on a reserve duty. Honorom smiled, "Someone will inform her." ”

"You haven't said where you went the year before. Morin insisted, Uncle Ranger had just said a lot of things earlier, but he didn't mention what had happened last year.

"Just like I told Professor Brand that I got lost in the Black Forest......" Honorom smiled bitterly, and he flattened his palm, looked at the labyrinthine scars on his palm, and said softly:

"I was careless that night, that man was smashed by Minerma, and his bones were shattered, and he could still control the magic to sneak up on you, he took advantage of the chaos and rushed into the Black Forest and I chased after him, but I didn't expect him to rush into such a deep place......"

A hint of confusion flashed in Honorom's deep eyes: "He kept moving towards the land of chaos without the slightest hesitation, as if he had not considered the danger of chaos at all, and the magic of chaos in the Black Forest did not seem to bother him in the slightest, and I had to use all my strength to barely keep up with his speed." ”

"Does he know more about the Black Forest than you do......" Merlin wondered, as Minerma said that he was the most powerful ranger she had ever seen.

"Perhaps......" Honorom frowned, "The route he chose gave me a weird feeling...... At least he was familiar with one aspect of the Black Forest...... I chased him over the druids' farthest guard tower in the south for three days and three nights, and by the time he finally slowed down, I thought I had entered a territory that no one had ever entered......"

"Didn't you catch up in the end?" asked Avino in a whisper.

"Caught up. ”

"And ......?" asked Morin.

"He committed suicide. Honorome took a sip of tea.

"Ahh

"However, in the process of tracking, including the examination of his body, I have gathered a lot of important clues. Honorom said, "It's not a vain tracking. ”

"You've been ...... since then"

"Since then, I've been trying to find a way to return to the territory of order, but I have really gone too deep, and even I have lost my way, and it took a whole year to return to the border of order. He shook his head and touched his thin cheek: "I really don't want to recall the experience of this year, but fortunately I got an important clue." ”

"What clue?" Morin couldn't help but blurt out.

Honorome looked at Maureen with a smile.

The young man came to his senses and pouted innocently: "Obviously, I came first...... I found the name of this organization and the clues to the Placo-Roman manuscript first......"

"That's it!" Barron always stood for his friend.

"When you'll have a fiery sword tattooed on your chest, you'll probably know more. Honorom said with a smile.

"That's a word!" Barron said honestly, clearly motivating him.

Maureen rolled his eyes.

The Burning Sword is the symbol of the Holy Law Enforcement Team, and even Minelma has not yet obtained official qualifications, let alone a few of them, and even if they decide to become a member of the Law Enforcement Team, they still don't know how many years of training they will have to go through.

"It's like I didn't say anything. Marcus also muttered that he didn't want to join any law enforcement team, and he didn't want to go anywhere his sister was there.

"It's not early, you really don't need to worry about this matter, it's the right thing to go back early and think about what courses to choose this school year, of course, welcome to choose the 'Chaos Forest' course, you know, someone who doesn't know as much about the Black Forest as I do doesn't have a chance to come out so quickly, this is a very practical science." ”

Honorom stood up and escorted the teenagers out of the treehouse. The curiosity was not satisfied, and the three boys had a small grudge on their faces, but when they were leaving, Honorom gave each of them a beautiful cloak brooch that succeeded in making them smile, and Avino couldn't put it down even more when he looked at the shiny brooch.

The moonlight was shining, the shadows of the trees were forested, the shadows of the teenagers disappeared on the winding lakeside path, and Honorom's deep light blue eyes looked dark and purple in the night, thinking of the curious appearance of the teenagers just now, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

"If only I had more time......"

……

……

In the middle of the night, the constellations of Night Mill hang high.

In the empty moonlight lounge, Morin put down a smeared messy form and breathed a deep sigh of relief, while Barron and the others sat on the flickering sofa with a large form in their hands.

It was the class schedule that everyone tentatively set after discussion.

In addition to today's History of Magic and the Foundation of Trials Tower Survival, several people also chose the two courses of [Body Use of Magical Power] and [Chaos Forest Basics] as their common courses.

The three law students, Marcas, Morin, Evenor, and Tierna, also have three common compulsory courses: [Intermediate Meditation], [Basic Magic Analysis], and [Advanced Use of Magic Cards], while Barron needs to take separate courses such as [Introduction to Battlefield Tactics], [Basic Attack and Defense], and [Life Force and Magic Power Transformation].

In addition, the compulsory courses required by the three different schools of law are also different from each other, Marcus has courses such as [Introduction to Mechanics], [Intermediate Surveying and Cartography], and [Elementary Mechanical Production], Avino has to take courses such as [Life Exploration], [Intermediate Plants and Potions], and Morin and Tilna have to complete [Spell Model Calculation Methods and Theory], [Evolution and Progress of Magic] and so on.

Many faction compulsory courses are only taught once every two weeks, giving students a certain amount of time to choose the direction of development they are interested in.

At the request of Master Ed, Morin chose [Introduction to Magic Card Making], and this course seems to be particularly popular among second-year students, with almost half of the total number of students enrolling.

Even Marcus and Evenno signed up.

Because there are certain similarities between card making and mechanic, Marcus even said that if he has the talent to become a card maker, he can consider giving up mechanics for a while. Avino said that the book introduced that card makers are almost the richest professions, and she certainly would not miss this course, in addition to which she also chose courses such as "The Power of Gold Coins", "The Structure and Operation of a Merchant House", and so on.

After that, there are many classes to be held separately, I don't know if I can get used to it, Morin leaned on a feather pillow, looking through the transparent ceiling and looking at the starry sky, but there are still many opportunities to meet, after all, everyone has a common compulsory course, and the residence is still together.

Remembering the conversation with Honorom in the evening, Merlin sighed again: "I'm wondering, Professor Honorom is telling us the truth......

"Shouldn't it?" Tilna extinguished the beam of light in her right eye, the dark red ray easily reflecting back and forth in the moonlight lounge.

After all, the professor also said that there are many things that cannot be told to us, and since this is the case, there should be no need to lie and cover up other things. ”

"That's right. Maureen agreed.

In the final analysis, a few of them are too weak to really help, and they almost become a drag on Minerma when they encounter a situation like Feiss.

But what if you use your special abilities...... The boy couldn't help but think that as long as there were remnants of the page clues or something, with his ability to overdraw his spirit a few more times, he should be able to replenish the missing content, which must have played a big role.

It's just that you will be caught and used as coolies......

Merlin shook his head, still too weak.

He clenched his fists and whispered to a few of his companions, "Come on, everyone, we have to get stronger quickly......

He thought silently.

“…… In order not to be caught and work as a coolie......"

“…… To become the greatest warrior ......"

“…… For the prophecy of the Prophet of the Demon Spirit ......"

“…… In order to...... In order to prove that he will not be worse than his brother and sister......"

“…… For freedom, for revenge, for money. ”

"Hurry up and get stronger......"
