Brother 22: The Ring of Shadows
The two of them looked like ordinary people, but Xiuce still scanned it with a chip, and the result was that he thought about it a lot.
Hughes followed Wizard Charles in a carriage for seventeen days, and finally came to a stop and came to a deserted wilderness.
"Quack Quack !!" was full of dead trees, and the dead trees were full of resting crows, looking at the three of them with scarlet eyes.
"Alright, let's get to the place, and we'll be back at the academy soon!"
Wizard Charlie walked to a place, whispering something in his mouth, and suddenly a swirling outline slowly appeared in front of Wizard Charlie.
The whirlpool rotated slowly, slowly forming a whirlpool light gate more than one person high.
"Quack!"
"Gah!"
The moment the light gate appeared, the surrounding crows felt something and scattered in all directions.
"Alright, come in!" said Wizard Charlie after entering the Light Gate first.
Hughes followed, and Leon and Garneau also hurried to follow.
Theseus was stunned when he entered the back of the Light Gate, as if he had come to another world.
The black sky was filled with purple auroras, which were extremely gorgeous, like rivers, flowing slowly in the sky.
The ground is black under your feet, and I don't know why, but the flowers and trees that grow around you are all black, and the leaves are also black.
In the distance, a huge black stone gate stands tall, and the stone door is carved with strange symbols and patterns, which seem to be able to sink people's minds into it after staring at it for a long time.
In front of the giant gate stood two statues of crows, inlaid with two scarlet gems, and Wizard Charles walked up to the statues.
"Quack, Quack, Looks, Outsiders Are Coming!"
Suddenly, two crow statues more than one person tall opened their mouths and startled Theseus.
"Yes, outsiders, delicious souls, delicious flesh!"
"Quack, quack, the outsider has commanded, if it is not right, your delicious souls will be ours. ”
Two crow statues screamed, and the eyes of the two gems shimmered with an eerie red light.
"You two damn statues, I should have found someone to replace you two" Wizard Charlie looked at the two statues angrily.
"Don't be angry, Charlie, let's be honest, the two of us are older than you, and besides, this is a rule, no one can break it!"
"I would like to trust my soul in the shadows," Wizard Charlie said, looking at the two statues helplessly.
"The three of you should also remember this sentence, it will be useful in the future!" he commanded, turning to look at the three of them.
"That's right."
"My soul, my flesh!"
"Let's go," Wizard Charlie had had enough of these nervous statues.
When Theseus walked through the door, he found himself in a place where various castles were formed.
"This is the Wizarding Academy!" Theseus looked at the retro buildings as if in the story.
"This is the Wizard Academy, the Ring of Shadows, and the place where you will study in the future, this place is an independent secret realm, covering an area of nearly one million acres, with teaching areas, training areas, library areas, and living areas,,,,"
"Our Ring of Shadows, which has a history of nearly three thousand years in this land, has produced countless wizards, and the most famous student of our Ring of Shadows is Spyros Riswanis, who was once known as a wizard who can be ranked with the ancients, and it is he who has obtained the secret realm here for our Ring of Shadows for the long-term development of the Academy. ”
Wizard Charlie walks through the history and heritage of the Shadow Ring.
"The gate you just passed through, after countless renovations and rectifications of the Shadow Ring, the things that have been retained, it is said that in the past, there was a teleportation witch array on it, but it was damaged, and no one would repair these ancient things, but it was still retained, which is a symbol of the Shadow Ring. ”
Wizard Charles led the way and led the three of them to the large room.
"Hey, old man, I've brought you somebody!" Wizard Charlie shouted into the room.
"Oh, Charlie, you're finally back, do you know you're the slowest again!"
The door opened automatically, and an old voice came from inside.
"Don't say that, you should know that I'm the farthest away!" he said as he walked into the room.
The room was filled with a faint smell of tobacco, a large black wooden table, where an old man with white hair walked, the table was a mess of parchment paper and pens, and behind him was a bookshelf, full of many wrapped bags, neatly arranged.
While chatting with Wizard Charlie, the quill was written on parchment.
Watching Charlie walk in, he glanced up.
"Oh, you've been gone for so long, and you've brought back three people, and if anyone else knows you're going to be laughed at for a while. ”
The old man looked at Wizard Charlie with a wrinkled face, squeezing out a smile as he struggled.
"What should we do, there are rules, they choose their own, what do I do!" Wizard Charlie propped his hands on, looking helpless.
"I really don't understand why the academy wants you to go so far away with an old fellow, and bring back only three, alas!"
"I'll go by myself, and besides, do you want to see more?"
"Huh, this little one," the old man looked at Hughes, and his eyes lit up.
"Hahaha! This is my biggest gain this time, my natural spiritual power is higher than others, but the talent has reached a deep purple, our Shadow Ring has not had such an apprentice for a long time, how about it, that old thing from Galt must be happy to know it!"
"Not bad, not bad!" the old man looked at Hughes with interest.
"It's a good seedling, aren't you going to take him in as a student, you will have a light on your face if you have such a student!" the old man sat in his chair and watched as Wizard Charles gave him the contract book about the three of Hughes.
"I don't have that much effort, so many experiments to do every day, if I were younger, I would have to grab it"
"Forget it, I've brought all the people, these people will teach you, you arrange for them, I'll go back to do the experiment, I've been out for so long, and suddenly I have inspiration"
"Okay, leave it to me," the old man waved at Wizard Charlie.
"Okay little ones, don't be nervous, Wizard Charlie's mission is to bring you to me, and I'll take care of the rest of your affairs."
The old man took out the parchment of the three of Huus, and took out a lot of them, and kept writing something.
"It's your admission formalities, and everyone has to do it. The old man wrote one after another.
"But you are still very lucky, in the past, the academy still had to charge a fee, that is, the magic stone, but we have not recruited students for twenty years, so this time the magic stone will be exempted, and when you really use the magic stone in the future, you will know how lucky you are." ”
"You've signed the contract and gone through the formalities, and from now on you'll be the official apprentice of the Shadow Ring," the old man said solemnly.
"After going through the formalities, you have one more item, you have to choose your own mentor. As he spoke, the old man took out a crystal ball from under the table.
"This crystal ball contains all the tutors of the Shadow Ring, you can draw a tutor and become his student, of course, the tutors of your choice are free of charge, except for some advanced knowledge. If you are interested in other mentors, you can also go to him, if you have money, you can exchange at an equivalent price, and wizards advocate announcing an equivalent exchange. ”
"My lord, this mentor is our own choice or is it ,,,," Theseus asked, thinking in his heart.
As early as the old man said that in the process of extraction, Xius knew that it would not be so simple.
"Hahaha, of course it's randomly drawn, and it depends on your own luck to draw that mentor, like me, like Charlie, it's all good, but there are also tempers that won't, if you draw it, you can ask for more blessings." As he spoke, he approached the three of them.
"Moreover, you must be obedient, otherwise, you may be used by your own instructor for experiments, or dissects!"
Leon's face turned white when he heard it.
"Great, my lord, the tutor can still kill his own students!" Leon sniffed with a slight shudder.
"It's rare, but there have been some apprentices with low talent and uselessness, even if they die, the academy won't pursue them too much. ”
