After entering the building, the two of them stood in the middle of the hall, not knowing for a moment how to find Professor Duncan's laboratory, because it had not yet officially opened, and no one else appeared to ask except the two of them, so they had to look around.

In the empty hall, many portraits of celebrities in the wizarding world hung on the wooden walls on both sides, some of them were particularly large, and Mick was most familiar with the portrait of Li Delan who occupied a corner on the right wall, holding a staff in both hands and smiling, looking a little silly. As for Kenneth, he didn't know a face, and he was not interested.

In front of the hall is a two-story bronze bust statue, the statue shows a handsome man with a bare upper body when he stretches out his right hand to remove a branch, and the base under the statue is engraved with an introduction to its character, although Kenneth does not know him, but Mick recognizes his identity at a glance, pulls Kenneth and says excitedly: "Kenny, this is Adam Gabriel, the legendary man who was the first to break off the branch of the ginkgo tree and cast magic more than 700 years ago!" ”

Kenneth scratched his head, quickly pressed Mick's shoulder and said, "Okay, Mick, calm down, don't be so excited, this is just a statue, and it's not his real person here!" ”

"If his real person were here, I would be so excited that I would faint!" Mick's eyes flashed with starry eyes.

"He's been here for more than 700 years, how could he be here......" Kenneth said with a black line on his head.

On either side of the statue is a staircase leading to the second floor, since Professor Duncan is talking about the basement located on the first basement, then naturally there is no need to think about it, Kenneth looked at the rest of the first floor, there is nothing but the portrait on the wall on both sides and a bronze statue, where is the staircase leading to the basement level?

Suddenly, Mick saw a floor diagram on the wooden wall behind the statue to the right and hurriedly called, "Kenny, come and have a look." ”

Kenneth took a closer look and saw that the five floors of the Magic Technology Laboratory were clearly marked as "showrooms", the second floor was for second-year students, the third and fourth floors were for increasing grades, and the fifth floor was for professors and associate professors. At the bottom of the illustration is specifically noted: Basement level, for Professor Calvin Duncan, can be accessed by tapping the base of the statue of Adam five times.

The two looked at each other, and Kenneth thought for a moment and asked, "Mick, is this Professor Duncan a very powerful person?" Do you have an impression of him? ”

Mick carefully recalled all the books he had read about magic, including biographies and theories of magic, and there was no impression of the name "Calvin Duncan".

"Anyway, we're going to have to see him. Come on, I'll give it a try. Kenneth placed his luggage on the ground and tapped his index finger against the base of the statue, while Mick stood behind him and looked at Kenneth nervously.

"One, two, three, four...... Five down. All right. Kenneth looked around after knocking, and there didn't seem to be any change, and Mick was puzzled.

"We're not going to ...... Yes! Just as Kenneth was about to complain, the wooden floor in front of the bronze statue of Adam suddenly opened downward, and Kenneth and Mick felt the emptiness under their feet and fell, and let out a loud cry in unison, and after the two fell, the plank closed upwards and returned to its original state.

"Ah!!h Kenneth and Mick felt as if they had fallen into a closed slide, and after a few turns, they finally flew out of the slide and landed on a wide, tattered cushion with a "plop". Kenneth and Mick were dizzy, and even more tragically, just as Kenneth sat up, his bulky luggage flew out of the swarthy slide, smashed right on his head and smashed him into a hole in the cotton cushion.

In the next moment, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and Mick helped Kenneth remove the luggage above his head, and at the same time looked at the half-bald middle-aged man standing in front of the two of them, with a warm smile on his face, only to see that he deliberately pretended to have a low voice to enhance the sense of grandeur and said: "Welcome to my underground castle, two teenagers who are favored by the creator god Lariar and the hero Theo!" Their name is...... Kenneth! And Mick! ”

Mick and Kenneth, who finally removed the luggage above their heads, looked at the cramped space around them, the light source came from the staff hanging on the damp wooden walls on both sides, and the top of the staff was inlaid with a fire marble, on which a small magic array was carved, which was the fire-based first-order magic "illumination technique", which could be cast as long as the magician activated it, which was extremely convenient.

The two of them slowly stood up, looked the middle-aged man in front of them up and down, and then hesitantly bent down and saluted, "Hello, Professor Duncan." ”

The middle-aged man in front of him is Calvin Duncan, who gave Kenneth and Mick direct admission. I saw that the top of his head was half-bald, only some sparse black hair remained, and his facial features were quite weekly, but they were slightly gloomy, and for some reason the right eyebrow was missing half of it. He is as thin as most magicians, measuring only about 175 centimeters. At this time, he deliberately put on the wide robe that magicians usually used to greet the two, but he couldn't help but wrinkle, and there were several holes in the hood and upper body at the back, the belt was also loosely unfastened, and the top of the boot on his right foot was also torn to reveal his yellowed socks, which looked quite funny.

Calvin looked at the two teenagers in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, beckoned to the two of them, "Come, let's take a look at my laboratory first." By the way, I have already completed your admission procedures for you, so you can rest assured. ”

Kenneth and Mick nodded reassuringly, and it seemed that Professor Duncan was not exactly as unreliable as he seemed, and followed him into his lab.

To the duo's surprise, Calvin's lab was slightly dark and damp, but it was very spacious. As soon as you enter the door, you can see three large stone tables with various straw paper, gems, staffs, books and other experimental tools, and further inside the stone table are four rows of bookshelves full of books, and there is an open space for unknown uses, and in front of the three stone tables, there is a huge blackboard, on which are drawn with chalk many magic arrays that Mick has never seen.

And the farthest away from the crowd against the wall, there were several cupboards that I didn't know what to put in them, maybe Calvin's wardrobe, Mick guessed.

Calvin walked to a stone table closest to the door, picked up two sets of school uniforms packed in white cloth bags, handed them to the two of them, and said, "This is the school uniform for the two of you, it is generally not mandatory for students to wear it, but it is best to wear it during important assemblies and comprehensive basic classes." ”

Then Calvin handed the two bronze rings to the two of them and said, "This is an ordinary space ring, with the second-order magic of the wind system 'Small Space Creation', although it can only put some small things, it can be regarded as my entrance gift to you." By the way, your school badge is already in it. By the way, you should be able to use this space ring, right? ”

"Thank you, Professor, for the gift, just touch the object with your mental power, right?" Mick smiled as he placed the ring that Calvin had given them on the little finger of his left hand, and the ring instantly shrank close to his skin. Mick used his mental power to probe, the space of this ring was really small and pitiful, just putting down a wooden card similar to the admission certificate was almost full, no wonder Professor Duncan didn't put the school uniform in it.

Calvin doesn't seem to see the rings on the hands of the two, because both Mick's Ring of Darkness and Kenneth's Ring of the Dragon are engraved with special magic, that is, they are "invisible" in the eyes of others except the wearer. Although Kenneth and Mick didn't know the mystery, they were still a lot more relieved, after all, even if it was an ordinary space ring given to them by Professor Duncan now, there were no longer a few people who coveted it.

Mick looked around and asked Calvin a little puzzled, "Professor Duncan, why do you have your own proprietary single-story lab?" ”

Calvin's face froze, and then a suspicious red flashed, but then he returned to normal, and explained to the two with a smile, his eyes full of fanaticism: "Because I am doing a great experiment now, and if it succeeds, I will become a great magician who surpasses Li Delan!" But this experiment is very, very dangerous, so the academy assigned this laboratory with a strong seal to me for exclusive use. That's right, that's it. ”

Compared to Kenneth's calm face, Mick showed great admiration after listening to it, and couldn't help asking, "Professor Duncan, can I be lucky enough to know about your current research topic?" ”

But Calvin smiled mysteriously and shook his finger and said, "Mick, you still lack the basic knowledge of magic, and even if I tell you you you you can't understand it. Maybe I'll tell you when you get to second grade. ”

Although Mick was very regretful, he was still secretly excited that he had met such a powerful professor as soon as he entered the academy, which made Mick believe that he would be able to realize his dream here.

"Alright, that's all for the visit, now let me take you to see your dormitory." Calvin clapped his hands and said to the two.

So the two followed Calvin out of his lab and back to where they had left off. Kenneth asked Calvin with a bitter face, "Professor Duncan, we're not going to get out of here, are we?" ”

Calvin gave Kenneth a natural look and said, "Of course, come on, get in, it will suck you in, although the first experience was a little dizzy, but try a few more times I think you'll love this feeling." Oh, and don't forget your luggage. ”

After Calvin finished speaking, he was the first to burrow into the hole, and Kenneth and Mick only saw that his upper body had just reached into it, and then he was sucked in by a suction force and disappeared.

Kenneth swallowed, and when he saw that Mick was a little hesitant, he smiled and pretended to be dashing and threw his luggage in, and then said, "Mick, I'll wait for you up there." With that, he leaned into the hole and was immediately sucked in, and Mick could faintly hear Kenneth's howl.

"It's true, what is strong, obviously his face is white." Mick snickered, but the tension in his heart disappeared suddenly.

However, the lighting that served as a light source gradually dimmed, and Mick realized that he was the only one left in the small basement, and the silence was a little chilling.

Mick quickly put the school uniform in his hand into the pitch-black ring, and then approached the exit that resembled a slide, just as he put his head into it, he suddenly heard the door of the laboratory being slowly pushed into a "creaking" tooth-sore sound, and when he looked back, he saw a large black hand slowly poking out from behind the door of Calvin's laboratory in the dim light, reaching out to him.

Mick screamed, and his body unconsciously stepped back, and he was immediately sucked into it, leaving only darkness in front of him.
