Chapter 41: Blood Sacrifice and Mission
"Huh?" After seeing the letter Billy left for himself, Theseus also had a guess about the wizarding secret realm this time.
"It seems that this time the wizard secret realm may not be able to go. Hughes muttered to himself.
However, Xius still refined the natural potion as usual, he can't actually do anything now, he is different from Billy and Lindsay, they have their own family information, Xius can only wait for their news, and think about how he will get out if he can't go at that time.
Time flies quickly, and it has only been two days since the opening of the Wizard's Secret Realm, and during this time, the apprentices in the Shadow Ring are extremely excited.
Every time the secret realm is opened, it comes with danger and opportunity, but these are exactly what they want.
After dinner, Hughes returned to his dormitory, and found that a letter had been stuffed into his room, just like last time.
"Come to Lindsay's shop to meet --- Billiliu. Hughes looked at the familiar handwriting, immediately put down the letter and left the dormitory.
It was already dark, and Theseus was wearing a black wizard's apprentice robe, and he put his hat on, not afraid that others would recognize him.
"Bang bang!" Hughes came to Lindsay's shop, and when he saw the closed door, Hughes knocked twice.
The door was opened a little crack, and Lindsay saw through the light in the room and found that the person who came was Xius, and immediately opened the door and Hughes came in, and quickly closed the door, and looked around, for fear that others would see it.
Hughes walked in to find Billy sitting next to him, his face a little gloomy.
Is there a result?Theseus stepped aside and sat down.
Hughes looked at Billy and Lindsay's faces and knew it wouldn't turn out too well.
"Xius can't go to the wizarding secret realm this time. ”
"Tell me about it. "Hughes was curious.
"Several people from the wizarding family sent people to find out the news of this wizard's secret realm, and the results were different from what everyone imagined. Lindsay looked ugly and drank the coffee in her hand.
"It's dangerous in the secret realm? Or is it ,,,?"
"The dean wants us to die, the so-called wizard secret realm is fake at all, it is the location of an evil wizarding organization three thousand years ago, that organization is called the Soul Slayer Cult, which gains power by sacrificing people's souls. Billy was furious and said these things through gritted teeth.
"Not only that, but we also found someone to buy off the few people who entered the secret realm with the dean, and through what those people saw and heard, we came to the conclusion that the secret realm seemed to be sacrificing something before, but in the end, it should have failed and was counterattacked, and all the more than 300 people of the Soul Slayer Sect knelt around the altar and died. ”
When Lindsay said this, no one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.
"So, the deans of the two academies are going to get something from the Soul Slayer Sect?" Theseus knew, Lindsay and Billy knew much more than that, but Theseus wanted to know more.
Lindsay gritted her teeth, thought about it and continued to tell Hughes the information he had gotten.
"In that secret realm, there are not many things of real value, the two deans should have discovered something, checked some ancient documents, and knew that the Soul Slayer Sect wanted to sacrifice something three thousand years ago,,,"
"So the two deans are also interested in that thing, right?" Having said that, Xius already understood the true meaning of this exploration of the secret realm.
"That's right, they want to use the apprentice to complete the sacrifice three thousand years ago and get the last thing, and I heard that the dean secretly sent people to arrest a lot of ordinary people, most of them are still girls and children, probably because they are afraid that the number of sacrifices will not be enough. ”
Hughes is truly aware of the cruelty and gore of the wizarding world, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends.
"How are you going to end it, so many people have died, and your face is disgraceful!"
"Dada-da-da!" Hughes tapped his fingers on the table.
"The ending, isn't it already thought about, first-level and second-level apprentices, this is the level of entering the wizard jointly stipulated by the academy and the Moonlight Garden, even if the people who enter in the end are all dead, just tell others that someone is unruly and sneaks into the secret realm to cause the secret realm to collapse, the entire Far North region, there are two wizard academies of the Shadow Ring and the Moonlight Garden, but there are also many small-scale wizard organizations, and they can just pull out two framed people, and this matter will be solved. ”
"What a good calculation!" Billy on the side became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
"Yes, these people don't treat apprentices like people at all. Lindsay also sighed, a little helpless.
"I still know about it. The sound of Hughes' fingers tapping on the table clearly echoed through the room.
"Very little, only a few families attached to the Shadow Ring know about this, but they don't dare to make a noise, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will not be these apprentices who will be sacrificed, but people from several families. Billy answered Hughes's question truthfully, and Lindsay nodded approvingly.
"Xiusi, I'm here to tell you about this matter this time, I'm going to be taken back by someone from the family later, it is estimated that we will not be able to meet again until the matter of the secret realm is over, I will beg my father to see if I can save you, and you also contact your mentor, I believe that with your talent, your mentor may not let you go." ”
"Yes, Theseus, I'll see if my family can protect you, but it's more up to you what you think. ”
Lindsay and Billy both looked at Hughes with worried faces, Lindsay didn't mind, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him, and Billy wouldn't have much of a problem if he had his own family.
It's up to Hughes to decide what he wants.
After coming out of Lindsay's shop, Hughes hurried back to the dormitory.
As Billy said, he had to find a way to avoid this secret realm now, preferably by leaving the Shadow Ring for a while.
"But what should I do to leave?" for a moment, Xius had a headache, he didn't expect this incident in the secret realm to be so dangerous.
Hughes hurried back to his dormitory, and found that his dormitory door was ajar, and he had closed it before leaving.
"Someone has entered my room!" Seeing this, Xius felt a pang in his heart, if so many potions under his bed were discovered, it would be a big trouble.
Theseus was already planning to go in and cast a spell.
"Since you're back, come in!" the familiar voice came into the ears of Xius.
"Old, teacher, why is he here?" Theseus listened to Wizard Matt's words, and hurriedly walked in with puzzlement, hoping that the other party did not find the potion he was hiding.
"It's a bit rude to enter your dorm room without permission, and the tea tastes really bad. Wizard Matt took a cup of black tea he had brewed and drank slowly.
Xiusi was a little embarrassed, he usually always refined potions, where he had time to drink tea, and he didn't know where to put the tea.
"But I can see that you are working very hard in your dorm. As he spoke, Wizard Matt pointed to the improvised laboratory bench that Hughes had built himself.
"I'm just figuring it out on my own in the dormitory. Hughes looked into Wizard Matt's eyes and slowly sat down across from Wizard Matt.
Wizard Matt lowered his head and laughed lightly, and whispered, "It's okay, worthy of your title of genius pharmacist." ”
"I'm here for you to do something. Suddenly, Wizard Matt got serious, put down the black tea in his hand, and took out a letter and a sub-map.
After handing it to Theseus, Wizard Matt picked up his teacup again. "You send this letter according to the location marked for you on my map, this is what I wrote to an old friend of mine, and he has a daughter, after you send it, help my friend's daughter to check whether she has the talent to become a wizard, and if so, let her come back with you, I told my old friend in the letter.
Of course, you can't go to the secret realm this time, what do you think, Xiusi?"
"Good, good!!" Theseus's heart was already happy, he was worried about how to leave the Shadow Ring, and now such a good opportunity was in front of him.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hughes calmly took the letter and the map.
"Yes, teacher, I'll send the letter to your friend. ”
"Hmm. You can leave early tomorrow morning, go early and come back early, and of course you can also if you want to stay outside for a while. ”
At this point, how could Xius not understand that his teacher must have also known about the secret realm, and deliberately let himself send a letter so that he could leave for a while.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, I'll go back first, you can rest too, and you have to leave early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes! ”
Hughes sent Wizard Matt to the door, and Wizard Matt suddenly turned to look at Theseus.
"I know you have a good relationship with Billy and Lindsay, and you must know something about this secret realm, but I don't ask, and I don't want to be curious, I help you this in the hope of getting something in return on you, so, whatever you know, don't tell it, otherwise you and I can't afford it." ”
