Chapter 20: The First Magic Academy in the Continent (I)
The warmth of the fire seems to be nothing, and no one who has countless monsters behind them will not be calm.
The faces of the four were flushed, but their backs were covered with goosebumps, and Sost could even hear the 'ho-ho' sound from the monstrities' mouths, which were the sounds of wild dogs when they were hungry.
Cassia was skewered with a twig and her glasses were still hot, and it didn't take long for Evernie to return to the carriage, she was still suffering from a high fever.
"And so, tomorrow we will return the way we came, and withdraw from the dead place. Sost hesitated for a long time before saying.
"It's a little unwilling. Ferrante lay on the ground with her hands behind her head, looking up at the dark and starless night sky.
"You don't seem to be scared at all?"
"yes, I don't seem to be scared at all. Ferrante shrugged his shoulders and said for no apparent reason.
After a few small talks, the three of them went back to their sleeping bags, and Evernie stayed in the carriage, and they had to continue to sleep outside.
Also because of Evernie's presence, they didn't continue to translate the magic scrolls, and Yafanka even tried to breathe a few times, but was persuaded by Sost to go back.
......
Black mist, thick black mist, Cassia looked at his scorched limbs, looking around suspiciously.
"Is it a dream?"
With each step, burnt flesh and blood fell from his body, exuding an indescribable smell.
But this is not his body, and where is it?
Cassia, who didn't know where he was, could only walk aimlessly, and he didn't know how long he walked, when screams of pain and despair began to come from all around, and the mournful sound irritated his eardrums and slowed him down.
Gradually, a bright light appeared in front of him, and Cassia hurriedly ran over, passing through the light gate-like existence, and entering the eyes was a burning ruin.
Turf reduced to ashes, collapsed boulder buildings, dead bodies strewn across the ground, and crowds struggling on the brink of death.
These people were young, even children, dressed in black and red robes, with the Scales badge on their chests, and the mysterious one-eyed on one side and empty on the other.
Magic!
Cassia suddenly woke up, Sost had said that this symbol represented magic, could this really be a magic academy, but how could it be......
"When the light hangs over the whole Scarborough...... They are destined to perish here......"
Ferrante's translated words came to mind, and Cassia had a bold guess, this was the last era, when this place was destroyed!
But why do you dream about it?
At this time, a hot sensation came from his waist, and Cassia looked down, only to realize that the body in his dream was also wearing a magic robe.
Pulling out of the pocket, the monocle is as smooth as new, reflecting the golden glow.
"You, you made me dream of this?"
The monocle didn't move, just kept emitting heat, and he took a deep breath as Cassia tried to put them on.
In an instant, the hell on earth disappeared in front of me, replaced by green grass and peace.
The young men who came and went had smiles on their faces, nodding their heads when they met Cassia, and their eyes flashed with admiration and respect.
He wanted to talk, to ask about the situation, but found that he couldn't do anything other than walk.
Cassia forcibly calmed himself down, and since that's the case, it's good to look around.
It seems that he has traveled all over the campus with a very high status here, and even with the current aesthetics, the scenery and settings here are not conventional, not to mention the magic embodied everywhere.
If it weren't for the scene of the ruins just now, Cassia would really be curious, who founded this place and created all this, he must have been a genius with a lot of taste.
I don't know how long later, Cassia stopped in front of an office door, and just as he was about to push the door in, the glasses on his face suddenly became hot again, and cracks spread out.
He hurriedly took off his glasses, and once again the surroundings were burned in ruins, the floors above him collapsed, and the sunlight was a little harsh.
Looking back, Cassia was surprised to find that the office in front of him was intact.
Looking around, he opened the door of the house as a dream, and everything was as usual in the house, an old man who had lost his soul sat on a chair, sighing and writing something, his eyes full of helplessness.
Suddenly, the opening of the door alarmed the old man, looked up at Cassia, his eyes collided in the air, and the screams outside were endless, but the old man left tears, staggered down his notes, and walked towards Cassia Ming.
The old man's face was flushed, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he took Cassia's hand and said something in disbelief, as if he was pleading.
But Cassia couldn't hear anything, and the world became a pantomime in front of him, and the ancient language made it impossible for him to read what the old man wanted to say.
At the same time, he found that the body he was attached to was gone, and had become his original form, nothing more than a state of soul like Yafanka.
At that moment, a giant dragon fell from the sky and smashed into the clearing outside, hot blood spilled all over the ground, and in the desperate roar of the dragon, Cassia's vision fell into darkness again.
......
The next day, a dejected Avnie got up early in the morning to pack her things, her fever had not yet subsided, but the road ahead was blocked, and there was not an army, so she didn't want to break through those monsters.
She was also unwilling, although the outer area of the dead was dangerous, but there was nothing useful except for plants that were plants.
And the three of Ferrante had already heated up breakfast, and after a brief meal, they all packed up their things silently.
Everyone knew that the front was destined to be extraordinary, but they were helpless.
His eyes wandered in the saddle, and Cassia hesitated for a long time, then let go of the reins and walked towards the forest on the other side.
"Cassia!
The three of them watched Cassia disappear into the forest, and they all raised their heels.
Soon, everyone came to the place where they were yesterday, and those hideous monsters were still staring at them with red eyes, and saliva was flowing from between their teeth.
Cassia stood at the front, took out the monocle in his pocket, bowed his head and muttered:
"He said you are what I deserve, you brought us here, and you took me to that dream, if I really have anything to do with here, then let me see who I really am......"
Ignoring the shouts of Sost behind him, Cassia resolutely put on his glasses, and the black mist rose from the ground, enveloping his entire body, and the ground under his feet turned into scorched earth, and sparks were faintly visible.
Resentment and despair filled his mind, but Cassia could still feel a glimmer of joy, joy coming from his glasses.
This time he did not lose consciousness, but emotions that did not belong to him were still interfering with his reason, and looking up at the monster in front of him as if he was imprisoned in another world, Cassia took the first step.
Behind him, the three of Sost gritted their teeth and followed.
The distance gradually shortened, the monsters were in a commotion, the weak existence began to retreat, and the powerful aliens became even more crazy.
Cassia had blue flames shining in his eyes, and he subconsciously waved his hand slightly, and in the shocked gaze of Sost and the others, the monster blocking the front disappeared and turned into a handful of ashes.
The monsters with no end in sight began to retreat, as if they had encountered the most terrible predators, and in this way, under the leadership of Cassia Ming, everyone stepped on that dividing line.
The world inside was strange, full of tall trees, but the land was barren, but such an abnormal situation did not bring much shock compared to Cassia Method.
Obsessed with paleontology, Ferrante was a pity that he couldn't catch a monster to study, and Aveney had a look of adoration in her eyes, only Thorst frowned, and was always preparing to rush forward and pull Cassia back.
"It's okay, you can still hold on. ”
As if knowing what Sost was thinking, Cassia turned around and smiled stiffly as he continued to walk forward.
From early morning to evening, everyone walked for a day, and seeing that Evni had a fever and could not hold on, the scene in front of her suddenly became clear.
A lake comparable to the sea appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but on the surface of the lake, which should be a beautiful view, there were countless corpses floating, including demonic beasts, humans, orcs, and even dwarves and elves.
Looking around, there was an endless stone bridge not far to the left, but unfortunately it had collapsed, and Ferrante could vaguely see that there seemed to be railroad tracks on it, which he had seen in the city of Evos, and it was something that carried a train.
At the head of the bridge, a skeleton stood, with a lion-like body, but with an eagle-like skull, and huge wings.
Cassia felt a little familiar, stepped forward and stroked the skeleton, the black mist stretched upward, the skeleton's eyes lit up with blue flames, jumped up with the black mist, and then rubbed Cassia's palm affectionately.
At this time, a consciousness entered Cassia Ming's mind, making him stunned.
"It stays here until it dies. ”
