Loren, as every morning in the past, packed his belongings, fed the old horse, picked out the pebbles under the horse's shoe, washed it from head to toe, and brushed its bristles...... Finally, the reluctant old horse can be put back on the saddle and hung up in the duffel bag.

It's just that there used to be an old knight sleeping next to him, and now only he is left. Loren was silent, busy with the work at hand.

Without the old knight Leonardo, where should he go next - maybe he should turn around and walk back, at least he still remembers the way he came. And then, as the old knight said, inherit his sword and surname, and live as a wandering knight.

Ain Rand on the side was also quietly packing up his things. The night had brought enough horror to the two of them, and the little wizard had not fully recovered until now, and only thought about leaving quickly.

Bloody killings, eerie temples, and the almost insane greed of the villagers...... Ain thought he had stopped thinking and would forget all about it, but now he could still feel the weight of that memory.

I once thought that as long as I could become a wizard, I could know everything, but now I understand how ignorant my past thoughts were. When faced with the threat of death, it is not magic and knowledge that saves him, but a wandering knight with black hair and black eyes, who is a little self-righteous.

"Are you ready to go?" Looking at the little wizard who was stunned in place, Loren reminded: "If you can, let's get out of this ghost place quickly." ”

"Uhh......h Yes, you're right. Ain, who woke up, quickly nodded, as if he was stupid: "It's better for us to leave quickly." ”

"Are you alright?" Loren frowned and said with some skepticism, "Anyway, where are you going? ”

"I have to rush back to Wimpal College right away. At this point, Ain's expression became serious again: "I must convey everything that happened here to the mentor and the dean, and I must not delay for a moment!"

There is actually a temple of heretical gods under the church of the Holy Cross, and it has been completely eroded by the void, and it is even possible that the heretical god still exists. This is definitely not a trivial matter, if not handled properly...... Ain couldn't even imagine what would happen.

Not to mention that the entire village has disappeared from the world, and it is impossible not to be discovered - the Vimpal Academy is already in danger at the moment, and the Holy Cross Church has always had a lot of criticism about the Academy, and if this incident is used as an excuse for the Church, I am afraid that the Academy will only become more and more difficult in the future.

No matter what all this is about, we must not let it threaten the Academy!" Ain's expression became resolute: "I'm sorry, can you please take me back to the Vimpal Academy first, I'm really in a hurry right now!"

"Of course, it's a trivial matter. Loren smiled and nodded: "As long as you tell me how to walk, this old guy is actually quite fast." As he spoke, he patted the old horse behind him, and the other party proudly snorted in reply.

"Thank you so much, I won't forget it. Ain nodded solemnly, but when he climbed into the saddle, another question came to his mind.

"But...... Where are you going when the time comes?"

"I'm a wandering knight, and of course I can go anywhere. Loren smiled indifferently: "Probably follow the main road, and then see if I can try my luck in a market or town, and see if anyone is willing to pay to hire me." ”

How many rich people like Loren are willing to pay to hire a young wandering knight like Loren? Even if he does, will he continue to live a life like last night, licking blood from the knife edge?

"That...... If you will. Al Ain spoke, "Actually, you can come with me to Wimpal Academy and stay there." ”

"Yes, you can come to Wimpal......" The little wizard noticed that he seemed to say something terrible, "You resisted the Void Erosion last night, and you were able to hold on to your sanity and not go crazy, which means that you have the talent to become a wizard." ”

"In fact, going from a dream into the void and then meditating is the first step to becoming a wizard, and you have done it. All you need is knowledge and a mentor who can answer your questions. Ain continued, "Then you won't be helpless if you encounter the same situation in the future, will you?"

At least life in the academy is more stable than that of the wandering knights...... Ain buried this sentence in his heart, looking at Loren who was still hesitating, the little wizard still did not tell him the whole truth.

The vast majority of wizard apprentices complete their first meditation under the guidance of their mentors, and they are basically asleep, without causing too much damage to their spirits. However, Loren broke into the space distorted by the void when he was fully conscious, and most likely encountered the evil god in that temple, and finally survived unharmed.

Whether he was gifted or unlucky, he had done something that ordinary wizard apprentices would never have been able to do, and that he would not have dared to do, and that was already proof that he had what it took to become a wizard.

Do you want to go to the Vimpal Academy? Loren was somewhat hesitant, he really had no other place to go at the moment, although he inherited the old knight's sword and surname, but he did not inherit his connections and connections, and he knew nothing about the world around him.

And in that so-called "wizarding academy", you can live a more or less stable life, and you don't have to worry about your livelihood anymore, which is more or less a good thing.

Naturally, there are more important ones - for magic, wizards, the Void...... There are so many terrible things in this world that I don't know at all.

And these wizards really seem to have some very powerful powers. To say that you don't desire it at all is to be fooling yourself. How could one not be obsessed with this power after coming out of that pagan temple?

"Okay. Looking at Ain, who was full of anticipation, Loren nodded: "When I get to your academy, if they are really willing to take me as an apprentice as a wandering knight, of course I will." ”

"Trust me, you won't regret it!" the little wizard nodded excitedly, "I'll explain to the mentor and the dean, and they'll definitely agree." ”

"Hopefully, hopefully they won't just kick me out. Loren shrugged his shoulders and said as if he was helpless: "What's more, I really don't have much to go. ”

Turning over and riding on the old horse, the two of them set off in the direction of Wimpal Academy. Looking at the little wizard behind him, who was still a little excited, Loren couldn't help but slightly remove the bandage tied on his right hand, and the serpentine rune on his wrist seemed to be carved into the flesh, which reminded him of the pale blond haired, smiling and elegant demeanor, but creepy.

"My dear stranger friend, of course I would be more than happy to help you get revenge, but I guess in your world, friends should help each other, right?

So if one day, if I need your help, please remember to reach out and help me out of this difficult situation - I will definitely thank you from the bottom of my heart and repay you as much as possible.

After all, it's friendship. Hopefully, this day will not be far off, because I am looking forward to it.

But in case you accidentally forget poor Asrael, allow me to leave a mark on your body. I did this with absolutely no ill intent, just so that I could find you.

Be careful, too, because for some people, they might hurt you for the mark - because they're just that unreasonable.

Try, then, to live, and we will meet again, my dear friend of the stranger, His Excellency Loren Turin!"
