Chapter 16: The Ancient Arena
......
The teenagers were desperately covering their mouths for fear of laughing. Victor also smiled: "Let's go quickly, don't be bothered by him." ”
Under the cover of flowers, the teenagers managed to get around. After turning a corner, Victor finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lei, you are too powerful, you have now become a celebrity in our academy." ”
Roger also smiled: "You see that Tutor Yan Xin is so angry that he has been drinking alcohol. If he falls one day, you will be the killer of our mentor!"
The teenagers burst into laughter, only to find that Thundercloud was still standing indifferent. Not only that, but he even yawned and said, "Hurry up and go, I want to go back to bed early." ”
The laughter of the teenagers immediately stopped abruptly, and they realized that this guy was simply a freak. He is not only the killer of his mentor, but also his own killer, and this kind of person really can't be provoked.
At night, the Grand Academy seemed to be a strange world, and the buildings looked strange and not at all like they were during the day.
Jimmy, who was in third place, said timidly, "Why should we act at night, can't we look for it during the day?"
Victor said: "I heard that the entrance to the ruins can only be revealed in the moonlight, and I have another plan, which is inconvenient during the day. ”
Jimmy was very worried: "Do you remember the seventh legend of the Academy, which says that there is a ghost haunted by the Academy, and it often wanders in the middle of nowhere, what if it encounters it?"
Roger comforted him, "Don't worry, you won't be so unlucky." ”
The teenagers walk through the woods, and this Grand Academy of Magic can be divided into four areas: earth, water, fire, and air, which are basically symmetrical, almost like a labyrinth. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, I saw that there were fewer and fewer buildings around me, and two rows of huge stone pillars appeared in front of me, many of which had been damaged and looked like ruins.
The teenagers said excitedly: "This place is really like an ancient ruin, and we didn't come in vain." ”
Victor looked at the map and explained, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, in front of it is the arena, which was built in the style of antiquity. ”
Led by Victor, the boys walked into a huge circular square, surrounded by rows of stone chairs, standing in the middle of the arena, and couldn't see the opposite side clearly. In the darkness, I vaguely knew that this place could accommodate at least tens of thousands of people.
Victor looked around: "We have arrived, the entrance to the ruins should be near here, you pay attention to the surrounding walls, there should be a secret door somewhere." ”
The boys scattered and searched around the inside of the arena, only to see that they were surrounded by walls as high as two feet high, and the stones here were so thick and hard that even if there was a secret door, they could not push it open.
Thundercloud stood in the middle of the square and found that the stone slabs on the ground were very clean, indicating that this arena was often used and was not a so-called ruin.
Turning to look at the huge square, he could feel that if there was a magic battle here, and the audience was sitting around, it would be spectacular!
A young man named Lu Qi pointed at Lei Yun and said, "Look at that stupid melon, wearing a pajama and slippers on his feet, doesn't he look like he is sleepwalking?"
Roger smiled: "Sure enough, if we meet a mentor, we will say that Xiao Lei is sleepwalking, and we are here to protect him, what do you say?"
Victor also said: "This is a good reason, so decided!"
The thunderclouds were a bit far away from them, so they couldn't hear what they were saying. With his character, even if he hears it, he won't react much.
After groping for a long time, the teenagers walked around the entire arena, and Victor said disappointedly, "Did you find it?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Roger said in frustration, "Maybe it's because the moon hasn't come out, should we wait any longer?"
Victor frowned: "Forget it, you can also see, the stone walls here are very thick, and you need at least level 4 magic to move, and there are no such masters among us at all!"
He looked at the sky and said, "Let's go investigate the black magic book, it's not too early, you can go over there first!"
The boys all nodded, compared to the ruins of Boulder City, the magic book did exist, it was better than blindly searching for it here.
And for them, today's expedition was a success, at least they found this ancient arena. The so-called adventure is actually to come out and breathe some fresh air.
Roger shouted to the thunderclouds in the distance, "Little Thunder, it's time for us to go." ”
Lei Yun walked over slowly, and he was actually a little reluctant: "It's very interesting here, I'll come to see it tomorrow, it seems that there are often people here who are trying magic." ”
The teenagers' eyes suddenly lit up, the ultimate goal of learning magic is, of course, to be used in actual combat, and the role of this arena is probably also this.
Roger said excitedly: "You're right, I'll come with you tomorrow." ”
Victor gave him a blank look: "What, you want to skip class too?"
Roger said embarrassedly: "I almost forgot, I'm not the same as Xiao Lei." ”
Everyone laughed......
Led by Victor, the teenagers returned the way they came.
Although they still have some unfinished business, since they can't find the entrance to the ruins, they can only give up.
They left the arena and walked towards the Black Magic Book in the Central Auditorium.
When they saw that they were about to reach the central square, everyone was dumbfounded.
A calm lake appeared in front of me, and the dark water seemed to be bottomless. Roger exclaimed, "How come there is a lake here, are we lost?"
Victor looked down at the map in his hand and said in surprise: "I don't understand either, I don't seem to have made a mistake!"
As he spoke, Lei Yun lifted his trousers and stepped directly into the water.
Victor exclaimed, "Hey, you don't want to live anymore?"
Lei Yun pointed to the distance and said, "Don't worry, you can walk here!"
Everyone looked intently, and saw that there were buildings on the water, which was actually the central square, but it was flooded. Thundercloud has been to Central Square once today, so he is familiar with this place.
As for why the central square is now flooded, he doesn't care at all.
In this magic academy, anything can happen. Maybe the academy used some kind of magic to deliberately flood the place. Or maybe the central plaza is already low, and the clear water lake in the north suddenly flooded the embankment due to the action of the tides, so this is the case.
Why would the academy let this matter go unnoticed, this was even less of his concern.
The moon finally emerged from the clouds, and the boys became bolder, and they jumped into the water and walked away with great difficulty.
The water level here is not high, just ankle high, so there is no danger.
There were many steps around the central auditorium, and the teenagers left the water and wrung out the water stains on their trousers, and Roger said solemnly: "It's a bit strange today, everyone be careful, maybe there is an ambush inside." ”
Victor couldn't help but laugh: "Ambush you, we are not bad people, can the academy use this method to deal with us?"
Despite this, the teenagers crept up the steps, looking no different from the villains.
