The drizzling rain continued for a long time, and it didn't end until everyone returned to Shining Star Castle, and even the shielding fog outside the academy seemed to become heavier. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The gloomy sky was combined with a thick fog, and from a distance, it looked as if the entire mountain had been swallowed up by the sky.

The escorted convoy could only stop at the foot of the mountain, and the mages hiked up the mountain in the light rain, although the road was slippery and muddy, but there were spells, which did not cause much hindrance to everyone.

Soon through the thick fog, the group had just entered the academy and was shocked by the scene in front of them.

Looking up, I saw that beside the fountain pool in the central square, dozens of mages with full cloaks were clustered together, looking very solemn against the backdrop of this rainy day.

"You're back." The man standing at the front lifted his cloak and hat, revealing an old, stern face.

"Archmage." Everyone bowed down, and Ryan saw this and hurriedly followed to salute.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, come here, Taylor's deeds before his death still need to be perfected by you." Unlike the last time he saw him with Philip, Viren was expressionless at the moment, unable to see joy and sorrow, ignoring everyone's respectful greetings, and with a big move, the people around him scattered to both sides.

At this moment, Viren was standing next to the fountain pool, and in front of him, there was a crystal ball the size of a fist, and a faint shimmer lingered on it, like a dream.

Several middle-level mages obviously understood this, and they consciously stepped forward, reached out to touch the crystal ball, slowly closed their eyes, and as their lips and teeth opened and closed, their deep voices looked very solemn: "Mentor Taylor led us deep into the earth, not only destroying the evil mind devourers, but also rescuing a group of gray dwarf slaves regardless of previous suspicions......"

"What is this doing?" Ryan grabbed the mage beside him and asked softly.

The latter was originally a little impatient, but after seeing that it was this half-elf who had been in the limelight recently, he still patiently explained to him: "This is the custom of the Academy, and every spellcaster who has contributed to the Academy will record their deeds in life after their death. Whether it's the Morning Star Wizard or the Academy Mentor, even if it's a student, as long as it's recognized, you can enjoy this honor. ”

"What's that crystal ball for?"

"It's a record crystal, and as long as the pool of mana exists, the contents of the crystal will be preserved. Even if the pool is depleted, it can survive for hundreds of years. ”

"So this is a character documentary?"

"Huh?" The other party didn't hear Ryan's self-talk, and seeing that he didn't continue to ask, the mage was happy to be idle, bowing his head and continuing to remain silent.

"Ryan, it's your turn." In a short time, the mage who stepped forward had already explained Taylor's deeds in the green forest, but no one mentioned the battle on the night of the evacuation.

After all, the only one who witnessed this was Ryan, who went back halfway, so Viren hurriedly beckoned him to come forward.

The latter hesitated and nodded.

Under Viren's guidance, Ryan spread out his palms and rested lightly on top of the crystal ball. Unexpectedly, despite the drizzle, the crystal ball remained dry, and a soft touch gradually relaxed Ryan's spirit, causing him to close his eyes involuntarily.

After organizing the language, Ryan spoke slowly: "Taylor is an excellent mentor and a hero, and it is an honor for all of us to walk with him. ”

“…… He took a mere 200 guards with him, and he was left alone to thwart the pursuit of the Drow elves......"

“…… The magic consumed everything and ended Taylor's life, but his heroic deeds will be passed on by the mouths of the rescued civilians, and Taylor's sacrifice will always be remembered by the world......"

Soon, Ryan ended the communication with the crystal ball, and then his steps softened, and most of his mental power was unconsciously consumed.

"Good work." Personally supporting Ryan, and waiting until he stood firm, Viren let go and said softly, "It's easy to control the loss of mental power when you use this crystal for the first time, go back and rest, you will get better after a good night's sleep, and we will talk about Taylor's problem in private." ”

"Yes." Nodding, Ryan stepped on the rain on the bluestone road and slowly left.

When he was out of sight, Viren picked up the recording crystal, and as he made contact, a thick and vague magic suddenly rushed in, and as his eyes stared, he secretly erased some of Ryan's descriptions of Taylor's magical outbursts.

With its unfathomable magical control abilities, the move went undetected by anyone!

"May the power of the arcane guide his soul ......" as he whispered, Viren lightly moved his hand, and with a faint flash of translucent magical aura, the crystal ball fell like a feather and slowly sank to the bottom of the pool, under the cover of the drizzle, it did not make the slightest wave.

Due to the constant cleaning in the room, the dormitory has not changed from when he first left, and it is spotless, making Ryan feel like he has only been overnight for half a month.

Entering the dormitory, Ryan suddenly felt like going home, and the first thing he did was to lie directly on the bed, stretch hard, and a wave of tiredness slowly hit.

Soon, Ryan put aside all distractions, and as his breathing gradually slowed, he went straight to the dream.

The next morning, although the light rain stopped, the sky was still dark and oppressive, and it was no longer the sun that woke Ryan up. A black crow appeared on his windowsill, its wings fanning out, accompanied by a rapid chirp, and the noise made the half-elf slowly open his eyes.

Is this Viren's pet?

Rubbing his eyes, Ryan cleaned up and followed the crow towards the Morning Star Tower.

Standing in the middle of the hall, Ryan glanced at the crow on his shoulder, only to see the latter's wings spread out, and a magical aura quickly surged around them, and in just a moment, their figures disappeared into the hall.

After many teleportations, Ryan had long been accustomed to the after-effects, and did not feel dizzy, and the latter immediately opened his eyes, and the scenery in front of him was familiar and unfamiliar.

I saw Taylor standing by the window, sipping morning tea while looking down on the academy under the gloomy sky.

"Archmage Viren." Ryan slowly approached and nodded respectfully, as if he had said hello.

"Don't be inhibited, you know I'm not an old-fashioned old man." With a wave of his hand, Viren raised his hand a little, and another cup of tea on the table that had already been brewed slowly floated in front of Ryan, "Taste it, the bitter tea of the Moon Elves, refresh your mind." ”

"Thank you." Although the last time Philip was here, Philip's conversation with Viren gave Ryan a different understanding of the archmage, but he was a person who respected power and the other party was a legend, so he didn't indulge too much.

Shaking his head, Viren didn't bother anymore, and looked out the window, without speaking, and the room fell into a temporary silence.

Ryan picked up the teacup with both hands and sipped it lightly, and suddenly felt a hot current slowly slide from his mouth down his throat, and a warm breath gathered in his stomach, and soon overflowed to all his limbs.

couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, and Ryan felt the bitter taste swirl in his mouth at this moment, and his brain, which was still a little drowsy, instantly cleared up.

What surprised Ryan even more was that the stats panel appeared with a focus +5 status. You must know that Ryan's own concentration skill is only 25 points, and this sip of tea has increased by a full fifth!

With a look of surprise on his face, Ryan couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really good tea!" ”

"This is a specialty of the valley, and thanks to the support mission of the students, they gave some to the old man." With a slight smile, Viren withdrew his gaze from the window, glanced at Ryan, and walked to the desk in the center of the room.
