Chapter 21: The First Magic Academy in the Continent (Part II)
The griffon's skeleton churned with black mist, flying strangely under the blue sky, Cassia had taken off his glasses, his intense madness made it impossible for him to hold on, and there was one more crack in the lens.
Everyone sat on the back of the griffin and walked forward, but the scene in front of them had a sense of permeating.
The lake at my feet was so large that I thought there were only corpses floating on the shore, but now it seems that there is more to it than that.
Looking down from the sky, as far as the eye can see, the surface of the lake looks like a cookie, except that countless corpses have replaced hazelnuts, making people's scalp tingle when they look at it.
"What the hell is going on here......" Evnie looked distractedly at the corpse below.
Also looking down, Sost, who was on his back, took out his newly bought pocket watch: "How long have we been flying?"
"It's probably been more than an hour. Ferrante replied that he was very receptive to this seeping picture.
"Is my watch broken?"
"No way, the dwarven craft can't be broken!" Aveney retorted.
"Perhaps...... is the problem here. Cassia settled down, pointing to the sun in the sky and continued, "It's gloomy outside, but the sun is shining here, and there are corpses......
"Time stands still here......," Ferrante continued.
Several people took a breath at the same time, not knowing what to say.
After a while, a black patch appeared in everyone's sight, and the griffin slowly descended to the ground, and when they walked down, the black mist broke down, and the griffin's skeleton was scattered all over the ground, becoming a puddle of broken bones.
"It has fulfilled its final mission. Cassia said with some gloom.
Then the crowd began to look around, and unlike the outside, the situation here was even more serious, the trees were broken and withered, all of them were skewed backwards, and the ground was scorched, as if caused by the huge energy impact inside.
As they guessed, time stands still here, and everything stays at the moment of final destruction.
The crowd could even see that the flames on some of the tree trunks were still burning, but they were not spreading.
Cassia walks to the front, holding his monocle in his hand, making sure he can put it on at any time.
Passing through a stone forest, the group stopped in front of a rock wall, where there was a hole that was emitting a faint white light.
"This is it, and in my dream I passed through such a door. Cassia thought to himself.
"Cassia!" Sost shouted, "either together or not at all!"
Cassia smiled, it's all here, he has to go in, he knows Sost's temperament, no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do.
"Follow me. β
With that, everyone gathered together and walked into the mouth of the cave that emitted white light.
......
"Cassia! Ferrante!
Sost opened his eyes and looked around, but no one else was in sight.
He was in the middle of a hall, and the glass windows were also emitting white light, making it difficult for him to see outside.
The hall was lined with tall shelves, brand new books, and a library! It was a lot like the Great Library in Evos.
The dΓ©cor is elegant, and there is room for reading, but the words on it are not all recognizable.
At this moment, there was a tremor in her arms, and Yafanka's soul floated out, looking at the place in amazement.
"Where is this?"
"The Academy of Magic, the first magic academy in the continent, a place that once had the ability to rule the world. Sost explained silently.
Before he knew it, Sost walked to the window and found ink and quills on a table, as well as a list.
The quill tip was wet, apparently had just been put down, and Sost looked around strangely, then to the list again.
"Winston, Kraken Skavin, Della, Dinah......"
One name after another is clearly visible, and the ink is not dry.
Thorst frowned, trying to look more closely, but his finger ran through the list, and the paper dissipated into the air like smoke.
The scene was a little grander, and a brick flew out of a corner, hit the bookshelf, and then hit the ground, shattering.
At the same time, a book also drops, but is caught by Sost's reach.
The inner paper of the book is torn, far from being as new as it looks, and the contents are unreadable, and only a few lines of handwriting can barely be seen on one page.
"In the year 2983, the Solan Empire tore up the thousand-year-old Saint King Treaty and declared war on the orcs, since the time of the Saint King, the thousand-year peace between humans and orcs has been broken, and war is about to break out, and the Ministry of Magic has sent representatives to various places, hoping that disputes can be resolved peacefully. β
"In the year 2990, Kayadil declared war on the United Kingdom, and the Holy Knights of the Church of Light were finally stained with the blood of innocents, and the Ministry of Magic was powerless, so the Vice President personally went to the front line to use strong means to promote a truce between the two sides. β
"Tsk!"
Sostemo rubbed his chin, Yavanka's chin resting on his shoulder, one illiterate, one confused.
"Alex Solan...... Empire?What is the age of the Holy King, I've never heard of it......"
At this moment, the book in his hand suddenly brightened, and a whirlpool slowly appeared, and Sost and Yafanka, who were caught off guard, were sucked in together.
When the books landed, the entire hall was instantly dilapidated, the houses collapsed, and countless books turned into ashes.
......
......
In a secret room, Evernie carefully looked at the furnishings on display around her, and would exclaim in surprise from time to time.
This small secret room was filled with all kinds of strange utensils, but one thing that made the dwarven girl ecstatic was that all the items had a strange pattern on them, exuding powerful fluctuations.
"Demon Seal! Star God is above! Star God bless!"
Avnie's eyes lit up, and she tossed the fever aside, ignoring that there was no exit from the secret room.
By the glow of the fluorite on the wall, Evernie rubbed her palms and almost drooled, the magic seal she had been searching for, something that only existed in dwarven legends.
Magic seals, magic, but also the past, Evernie thought.
"Uh...... Mother said that you can't be greedy, it's like striking iron, you have to hammer it one by one, so I can't take one too much, right?"
Avernie grinned at a long sword, but was about to pick it up, but was drawn to the object on the other side.
This is a hammer, which seems to be a common casting hammer for dwarves, but it can be ...... This hammer has no magic mark, it is just an ordinary hammer.
Evnie pouted in annoyance, she kind of liked the hammer, and she didn't know why.
After looking again, Evernie found a name on the handle of the hammer.
"Leme Oak Shield. β
"The Oak Shield Family?"
Knowing that she picked up the hammer in confusion, she wanted to take a closer look, but a flash of white light flashed, and she and the hammer disappeared in place.
......
It was also a secret room, Ferrante calmly looked at the things in front of him, and walked up hesitantly.
There was nothing else here, there was only a wooden frame in the whole chamber, and on the shelf was a worn-out ruby sword, how worn, rusty, and there was a gap in the sword.
But Ferrante had a familiar feeling, and the long sword in his mind seemed to call to him.
"The sword of the father of the Holy King, the elf of blood and fire. β
The small letters on the wooden shelves made Ferrante scratch his head, but there was no exit here, maybe there was some mechanism here.
When his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, the feeling of water and milk spread throughout his body, and the light flashed, and he disappeared with the sword.
......
Grunt......
Cassia swallowed his saliva and looked at the office in front of him, his palm twisting the handle slightly.
The room was in a dilapidated state, just as Cassia had expected, but a dry skeleton behind his desk caught his attention.
Is it the old man? the old man who appeared in the dream?
Cassia walked over with a puzzle and found a notebook in the bosom of the dry bones.
The handwriting on the note has been corroded a lot, but it can still be inferred that it is the old man's suicide note.
"I curse those who betrayed, you betrayed the most powerful allies, you short-sighted have no idea what will happen next, the church, the royal family, you will eventually die under the gaze of the gods. β
β...... Scarborough doesn't die, magic doesn't die, I saw him coming, I saw him in the moment I was dying, I prayed to him, but to no avail. β
"But he will eventually awaken, he has escaped the clutches of death, he will finally be crowned as a new god, the root of magic, and when he wakes up, Scarborough will be resurrected again......"
The note came to an abrupt halt here, and Cassia flipped the page, but immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
On another page is a portrait of him, his clothes, his glasses, and his shoes, all identical to him.
With a gasp, Cassia closed his notes, closing his eyes and falling into deep thought.
"Time stands still here, was last night a dream, or did it travel through time......"
......
When Cassia opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the campus square, and the other people were also staring at each other in confusion.
The corpse of the dragon in the distance seemed to have just died, and the warm blood exuded a powerful fluctuation and smell of blood.
Several people talked to each other, each talking about their own experiences, but Cassia had reservations and buried his doubts about himself in the bottom of his heart.
Then everyone saw a statue standing next to them, the head of the statue was shattered by the explosion, but the body was wearing a robe, long hair, and standing with its hands behind its back.
There was a depression in the base of the statue, and Sost frowned and thought for a moment, then pulled a balance badge out of his shoe and tried to put it on.
The earth shook, and with the sound of friction, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was also Cassia who walked in front with his glasses, and several mermaids rushed in.
The passage was not long, and the glow of the fluorite was enough to illuminate, and when they reached the hall at the end, everyone was confused and at a loss.
There was a circular well in the middle of the hall, and the water had spread to the edge, and a pillar of blue light rushed out of the well, condensing a huge ...... in the air Egg.
And not far from this egg, there is a smaller egg, which is crashing towards each other.
Da ...... Da ...... Da ......
Sost took out his pocket watch, looked up and said, "Time here...... Not static. β
