Dylan recalled at this time that more than a month ago, he, Donald, and Stephen encountered the sixth-level demonic beast Blue Wind Dragon on that wasteland, and he felt very strange at that time, why such a high-level demonic beast appeared there, and at this time, thinking about it, the Blue Wind Dragon must have escaped from the Demonic Beast Mountain.

"To tell you the truth, this time the Empire has suffered heavy losses in the Warcraft Mountains, so you must raise your level as soon as possible to improve your chances of survival on the battlefield. Angela's eyes showed a hint of grief.

As soon as they heard that they were about to enter the Demonic Beast Mountains, many of the academy students obviously showed signs of hesitation.

Angela saw everything in her eyes and said with a sneer: "What's the matter? What is the first lesson topic of the basic magic education you received at the academy? What is the first element you need to have as a magician?"

One of the students replied, "It's courage!"

Angela said, "That's right, courage. Do you think that courage is only needed by warriors and knights? Wrong! A magician also needs courage, the courage to overcome danger and difficulties, and if a magician does not even have courage, his achievements are not destined to be very high. ”

Hearing this, many of the students' original decline suddenly faded by more than half, and was replaced by perseverance and courage.

Seeing the change in the eyes of these young mages, Angela nodded, "Very good! So, now you tell me, do you have any confidence in raising the level again within a month?"

"Yes!" the earth-shattering voice echoed throughout the barracks.

Soon, these young mages who had just been recruited were assigned to different mage teams for training, because each person cultivated different magical elements, so they naturally needed to receive different training.

And Dylan is the most special, because he is the only one who is a shadow mage, and there is no shadow master in the empire's mage group who can guide him.

"Dylan, you are special, so we can't give you effective targeted guidance, so in the next month, you can improve in your own way, of course, you can also come and go freely in and out of the barracks, this is the countermeasure we have agreed on in the meeting just now. Angela said to Dylan.

Dylan nodded, "Okay." Thank you, Archmage Angela!"

At this time, only Dylan and Angela were left in the military tent, and the other young magicians had been taken to different military tents by several magisters.

"Dylan, the Empire is not holding you accountable for cultivating shadow magic at the moment, because the Empire is indeed in a special period now, and a large number of mages are needed as reserves, so those so-called pedantic laws have been put aside for the time being. However, I still hope that you can behave well and not let some people with bad intentions get your hands on you. Angela said earnestly.

Dylan was a little stunned, wondering why this seemingly extremely strict fire magister would admonish and care about himself so sincerely.

Before Dylan could come to her senses, Angela walked out of the tent with a smile and patted Dylan on the shoulder before leaving.

Dylan could feel that the archmage had absolutely no ill will towards her, on the contrary, she should really want to grow up quickly.

After Angela left the military tent, Dylan also quickly walked out, looking at the various hurried military people around him, Dylan had a feeling of trance.

Originally, as a shadow mage, he would never be accepted by the empire, but now that the empire no longer restricts himself, he should naturally make some efforts for the empire.

Dylan thought as he walked back to the imperial capital.

He needed to improve his strength as soon as possible, after all, it was indeed an extremely difficult task to become a level 5 shadow mage in a month. So, Dylan decides to go to the Gopher Tavern first, and he needs to enlist Carlos' help.

Today, Dylan is a member of the Imperial Legion. And there are a lot of conflicts between the Imperial military and the Arcane Brotherhood, so Dylan needs to tell Carlos something.

When I arrived at the Gopher Tavern, it was already afternoon.

Carlos was not in the tavern, and after Dylan inquired, he learned that Carlos had received some news not long ago and had gone to the north of the empire to run errands. And Benjamin also went with Carlos, so Dylan was now on his own.

"Within a month, will you become a fifth-level shadow mage?" Dylan clenched his fists fiercely, and then left the Black City and returned to the outside of the imperial capital.

Dylan originally wanted to call Stephen and Donald, and the three of them formed a hunting group again to hunt and kill monsters in the wild. After all, listening to Angela's words, there are now many high-level magical beasts in the mountains and forests of the empire.

However, in the last evaluation, Stephen and Donald were both injured, especially Stephen, who was severely injured by Roddick, and at this time the injury has not yet recovered, so it is not suitable to go hunting. Therefore, Dylan decided this time to go out on his own for the time being.

Although Dylan's injuries have not healed, he is extremely strong in mental strength, so he can quickly recover his strength through meditation, and for the Holy Light Burn, he can rely on the alchemy knowledge learned from Stephen to find the corresponding medicinal materials in the wild, and refine some simple medicines to treat them slowly.

Since there are demonic beasts in the major mountains and forests of the empire now, if you want to experience, there is no need to go to the distant demonic beast mountains.

Dylan made up his mind, and headed towards the forest southwest of the imperial capital, which was close to the border of the empire and should not be infested with too many people.

......

At the same time, in an extremely luxurious pavilion in the imperial capital, a young and handsome young man was lying on a large couch at this time, his eyes closed and his breathing evenly.

"Young Master, how is he?" a black-robed butler asked.

On the side of the couch stood a golden-robed magician, looking at the sleeping young man on the bed at this time, his eyes changing uncertainly.

The golden-robed magician pondered for a moment, and then said: "He forcibly consumed the magic power in his body, which caused a huge impact on his spiritual power, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to wake up in a short time, but fortunately, the magic power in his body is slowly recovering, and the internal wounds are gradually healing themselves." That's the benefit of a Light Mage. ”

The butler still had a worried look on his face: "Master Robert, young master, he has been injured like this, should we report to the archbishop?"

"Report a fart! Our Brant family has lost face in the evaluation competition, don't you think I'm not annoyed enough? I still want to disturb my father? As Roddick's uncle, I naturally have the ability and responsibility to take care of him, and I don't want my father to come forward!" Robert said coldly.

The housekeeper was angrily reprimanded by him, and naturally did not dare to continue to say more.

Robert turned around and looked out the window, which was the height of the imperial capital, and through the window he could see the imperial military camp outside the city, his face suddenly darkened.
