24- Arrived
Huang Huang tightened the letter of introduction with the red seal in his hand, and while looking at the map to confirm it carefully, he desperately tried to recall his name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He had been trekking for days, following several brigades along the way, and finally managed to cross the vast dense forest to the location marked on the map. Huang Huang went out for the first time in his life, but he didn't expect to go so far for the first time, the map was full of place names that Huang Huang had never seen, if it weren't for the map to point out the location of the user, Huang Huang really thought he would be lost in the journey.
Huang Huang confirmed that the location marked on the map was not far away, and then climbed a high mountain and came to a quiet, empty, and lonely place. The air here has a cold and isolated smell. Now, the sore and exhausted young man, with his hair tousled uphe, stood on a mound in the clearing, still unable to believe what he had come here for-
Introduce yourself to the most powerful mage in the Mage Guild and have him take him as an apprentice.
It's an honor, at least that's what Del Witt and the principal say. This is also an opportunity, which can be met but not sought, and they insist that they must not miss it. The wise mages of the Mage Guild, a council of scholars and wizards, told Huang Huang that they had wanted to introduce a student to the most powerful mage for a long time, but he had a strange and withdrawn personality and had not been introduced by the guild for more than a decade. However, the Mage Guild is eager to learn about the valuable knowledge that the world's most powerful mage has hidden in his library, and wants to know about the projects he is passionate about. Of course, the main thing is to know what this independent mage intends to do with his intellectual legacy after a hundred years, and when the strongest and greatest Archmage of Cavill intends to start cultivating his heir.
Obviously, it's not a year or two since the great Archmage Cavill has ignored the Mage Guild, but the Guild insists on introducing a few students to try it out every year. What if the sorcerer's rumored hard-hearted heart was suddenly converted, or was it just a diplomatic concession, or did he feel that the mortality rate of the experimental creatures he kept in captivity was too high? Delvit's statement is that as long as Huang Huang stays, he will become a mage like the headmaster in the future. In short, the fact is that the powerful independent (and for Huang Huang, mysterious) archmage needs a successor, and even if he insists that he doesn't need to, the ruling organization of magic in the entire kingdom, the Mage Guild, will shoehorn a student into him.
The headmaster arranged for Huang Huang to come, and Delvit advised Huang Huang to try, and Huang Huang agreed, and then followed the headmaster to the Mage Guild. In the days following his arrival at the Mage Guild, he was instilled with countless study guides, interview methods, coping skills, requests, advice, advice, and all sorts of contradictory introductions from countless masters: "Ask the story of Archmage Cavill's battle with demons" was the request of one of the masters. "Dig out all the history of the dragons from the library" was the request of the librarian, Ms. Sumei. "Read all the monsters in his library" was ordered by Itaan, who believed that there were still unknown creatures in the world. "Honesty, frankness, and straightforwardness" were the headmaster's words of advice—virtues that the great Archmage seemed to admire. Others such as "work hard, study hard, and make progress every day", "obey orders", "learn to listen", "move forward bravely", "see the six ways, listen to the eight directions" and so on, Huang Huang's brain is about to explode.
These ambitions of the Mage Guild were not what Huang Huang was most troubled by - he had learned how insatiable the instructors were for magical knowledge, and of course it was not only the teachers. The accumulation of magic books in the library had already impressed the young students, and Huang Huang was no stranger now.
In fact, he found that his pathetic and ridiculous luck seemed to be at the root of his current situation. He had passed the mage exam without mana, witnessed the fight between the headmaster and the man in black late at night, and then had a special experience in a magical prison.
In addition, Huang Huang also has a very strong curiosity, about the principal's lost magic weapon, Huang Huang even conducted an in-depth investigation, the former principal's student disappeared for no reason. Is it dead, or is something terrible happening? The teachers at the school also avoided talking about him, and even removed his name from all relevant materials, and never mentioned him again. But Huang Huang still found some clues. Huang Huang has his own way of finding clues, he knows how to reach out to the necessary people and talk to the right people at the right time. It's his talent, but in some cases, it's a bane (or curse). However, for him, it plays a very important role in identifying the killers of his parents.
So, Huang Huang carried a rucksack stuffed with all kinds of research notes, and his head was full of all kinds of commands and useless advice...... It's time to go. In the last week before leaving the Mage Guild, he had come into contact with almost all of the members of the Guild, and without exception, each of them had an interest in something about Cavill. An archmage who lives in an isolated place, surrounded by woods and strange-looking peaks—the members of the Mage's Guild are eager to know all about him. To be precise, they are eager to know, and even if they die, they will leave some information for them to study.
The entrance to the main entrance looked to him like the mouth of a giant beast with an open mouth, without a gate or a fence. This is indeed reasonable, and what army would dare to cross this strange forest, drive into this strangely shaped mountain, and then come to the death of the most powerful mage? There is no record in history of any attempt to lay siege to the Mage Tower, even though it was so close to the Southland.
This eerie gate is tall enough for an elephant dressed in full circus gear to pass through. Directly above it hangs a wide balcony with a stone parapet, from which one can look down on the surrounding mountains, although these bare mountains are of little value for appreciation.
At this time, there seemed to be a flash in the position of the guardrail, this small movement was not so much what Huang Huang saw as he felt it from his heart, and even woke up the demon king in his body: a figure in a robe, perhaps, walked back to the tower from the balcony. Is he being watched? Will someone come to meet him, or will he have to go in and venture out on his own?
"Are you also a new student from the Mage Guild?" The voice was as empty as if it came from a grave. Huang Huang was stretching his neck at this time, looking up at the empty balcony, when he suddenly heard such a sound, and his soul was frightened. He turned his head and saw a clumsy, emaciated figure appear at the gloomy entrance.
