Chapter 39: The Fog of the Night

As the night grew darker, the white moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and the streets of the town were deserted, with the only lonely magic street lamps illuminating part of the road, and the townspeople had fallen asleep early after a day's work. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

A black haze flew slowly through the air, hidden in the night, unnoticeable. It slowly crept into a slit window, a two-story wooden dwelling.

Black smoke entered the window and landed on the wooden floor, and black smoke rose to the form of a figure dressed in a black robe.

It was a middle-aged male, with a slender build, a black hood covering his hair, a revealing face with a noticeable paleness, and his glasses were green, bright as if they were a green gem.

The middle-aged man glanced at the room, which was an ordinary bedroom, small but neat. It is difficult for ordinary people to put anything in their bedrooms to decorate their rooms.

There was a young girl lying on the bed, a very ordinary girl, without a flamboyant appearance, without a figure that made people want to commit crimes, her complexion was slightly dark, and her rough hands were the marks left by her usual farm work.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl, he didn't know the girl, and he didn't come to this family on purpose, he was originally a randomly selected target.

"It's just your bad luck, but in a few days everyone in the town will be just like you, and it will make no difference. The middle-aged man thought to himself.

He walked slowly to the side of the bed, without making a sound, and he put his pale right hand in front of the girl's nose, and several black smoke came out of his fingers, like a small snake, into the girl's nostrils.

The girl seemed to feel discomfort and wrinkled the tip of her small nose slightly, but she did not wake up. The middle-aged man was not worried at all. After a few breaths, the black smoke cleared, and he withdrew his right hand, continuing to shroud it in the wide black robe.

When it was done, for some reason, his green eyes swept the room again, and then silently turned into black smoke and left the window from which he came.

Then he flew into the bedroom of one of the town's residents, this time a man.

He slept very deeply, perhaps because of the fatigue of the day, his mouth snorted loudly, and from time to time he would dream a few words, as if he were really dreaming a sweet dream.

The middle-aged man sent the smoke into his body again, and the whole process was quiet and swift.

After completion, this time the middle-aged man turned into smoke without a trace of remembrance and flew silently towards the next target......

Room after room, spell after spell cast......

Darkness enveloped the town, and black smoke filled the hearts of the people......

……

A middle-aged woman walked briskly into a classroom, and the originally noisy environment instantly became quiet, and only the sound of her "tick, tick" high heels echoed in the classroom.

The middle-aged woman walked up to the podium and looked around the classroom, seemingly satisfied with the current situation.

She was wearing a long black dress, a black courtesy on her head, a black leather book on her chest, and her whole body was black, just like what others called her, Ms. Blackheart.

"I have two pieces of news for you. Her voice rang out in the quiet classroom, her voice was slightly shrill but not unpleasant. "First, recently a small town near the city has received a report of a plague, and there have been a number of patients with unknown routes of infection. That's why it's forbidden to leave the city these days, and in fact I want you not to leave even Oreon. ”

As soon as the first message came out, there was a slight noise underneath, she cleared her throat, and the classroom immediately returned to calm.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she said, "The second piece of news is that tomorrow morning there will be a magic theory exam. ”

The quiet air suddenly burst, and there was a wail in the classroom.

Instead of paying attention to the noise of the classroom this time, Ms. Blackheart turned and left the classroom, this time completely muffled by the noise behind her.

"Why are you taking exams again? How many times this month? Oh my God, you can't let people live?" a boy complained loudly to his friend.

Rohr sat quietly in his place, his head propped up in his left hand, looking out the window on the right, enjoying the beautiful scenery brought by the sunny weather, and thinking about the news that the black-hearted lady had just left.

It doesn't matter about the exam, he has been studying at the Öreon Academy of Magic for almost a year, and he has become a first-level magician, so the theory exam has never been difficult for him. He was concerned with the first piece of news, which was the situation of the plague.

How many years has it been since the word plague appeared on the continent? Thirty or forty years? Rohr doesn't remember, but with the development of life magic gradually maturing, infectious diseases have always been able to be controlled in a timely manner, and since most diseases can be cured, people's fear of disease has gradually decreased.

Of course, this is not the point, Rohr can see her concern in the subtle expression of the black-hearted lady, which is unusual. All the students here are apprentices who have sensed the power of magic, and the power of magic has always been very resistant to disease. Not to mention that Elleon is the best magic academy on the continent. The head of the academy is officially a member of the royal family of the kingdom of Mayona, and the royal family is best at life magic.

Rohr was going to investigate a little later, but of course he wouldn't take up too much of his time.

With a slight look of dissatisfaction on her face, Lynn sat down on the empty chair next to him, whose owner was discussing with her friend how to cheat on an exam.

"There's another exam tomorrow, what should I do, do you have any secrets?" the anxious girl asked in a low voice.

Rohr rolled his eyes, "If you're really worried about exams, wouldn't it be better to read some books?"

The girl rolled her eyes back and said, "How many books have I read this year? But how many have I not read? God, have you forgotten the size of the library? The point is that the questions on the exam are never in the ones you have read." The teachers are using magic to solve the questions, right?

Rohr was amused by Lynn, "I can only say that you are unlucky, but I don't have any secrets, you know, I just have a better memory." "The ability to remember is really useful when it comes to reading.

Lynn naturally knew about Rohr's strong memory ability, and it was just a joke to ask for the secret.

"I don't expect to have the ability of you, I just hope that tomorrow I won't be at the bottom of the score. Lynn slapped her face weakly on the desk and groaned.

Not knowing how to comfort Rohr, he had to change the subject. "Where's Gurog? Why haven't you seen him?" Gurog has been mysterious lately, and often disappears.

Lin looked up at the classroom and said, "I don't know, I didn't see him just now, so I guess I'm going to find a senior sister." ”

Rohr shook his head, Gurog had been interested in a relationship lately, but had never worked out.

Luo Er glanced at the time, stood up and said to Lin, "I still have some business, I'll go to the dormitory first." ”

Lin waved her hand weakly, indicating that she had heard, and then walked over to the other girls, joining the army of complaining about the exam.

After saying goodbye to Lynn, Rohr walked out of the classroom. As the largest magic academy in the mainland, the overall structure of Öleon Academy is a huge castle, and the students' dormitories are concentrated on the second and third floors.

Back in the dormitory, after changing the conspicuous white robe and putting on an ordinary gray outfit to make himself look as ordinary as possible, Rohr walked towards the outside of the castle when he was ready......
