In the early morning, a gray mist drifted throughout the dead woods.

"Whew!"

A pitch-black figure suddenly swept out of the mist, and the gray mist on both sides was pushed away a bit, revealing the beast figure inside, with a streamlined body and dark golden eyes, which was Heiru from the appearance.

A black-robed figure was clinging to Heilu's back, and he stared ahead with a serious and cautious face.

"In a few moments you will be inside the dead woods, where a bunch of goblins live. In order to be able to resist them in the best condition, dust alone is not enough, I had better wait until the fog dissipates before entering it. Otherwise, those vile and disgusting goblins don't know where they're going to attack me. ”

Grant thought to himself, and he was lying on Heiru's back like this. Ears pay close attention to the movements around you, to prevent dangerous monsters from suddenly attacking you, although with the current defense ability, you won't be hurt too much, but the consumption of physical strength and strength is absolute.

The fog disappeared for about an hour or so, and Grant pondered the question of the soul seed during this time. When he was planted with a soul seed by an unknown priest in Wanghuo City, he planned to go to the mage cluster to find a potion that could undo the curse.

He was disappointed to find out something from the Methodist magic potion shop, the soul seed was definitely powerful in the inheritance spells of the war elves, and the ordinary potion shop didn't have the kind of potion to deal with at all, and even if there was, it was just the kind of blessing potion refined by a third-order apothecary, but the price was too expensive.

Curse spells like this are also restrictive, and can only work if they kill the caster's important relatives or friends, and the distance between the other side at that time cannot exceed three or four thousand meters. These limitations are significant. But it also proves its power.

"It's more serious than I expected, this soul seed's curse spell is definitely more troublesome than the human second-order curse spell. After all, the war elves are in the area of ordinary thin elements, and the mages in the mage cluster like the mage cluster have very little information about them. There is no specific way to deal with it. ”

"I only have two ways to go now, one is to improve my strength as soon as possible and then go to the swampy woodland in the southeast, where there lives an old mage who is proficient in potions, and I remember that in the past, as long as I became a second-order mage in the game to help him complete a mission, he could lift any curse below the third order. The second is to gather a lot of magic stones and buy third-order curse-breaking potions, but the wealth I need is too much, and now I only have twenty magic stones. ”

Grant shook his head after thinking about it, he felt like he was thinking too much. Everything will not come to fruition until the prophetic mage is found. At least make plans according to the time when the soul seed erupts, if the time is within a year or two, you can go to the second order and go to the pharmacist to complete the task. In less than a year, find a way to get this magic stone, or come up with other ways to make money.

But Grant didn't have much hope for the latter.

"Alright, let's go first."

Grant, waiting for the fog to dissipate, patted Heru on the back to make it speed up a little faster.

…………

In the interior of the dead forest, the bark of the surrounding giant trees turned black, and some small flower-shaped leaves grew on the tips of the branches, and a very faint pungent smell slowly wafted away.

"Squeak ......"

Some are only the size of a human calf. Behind them, winged goblins hovered at the ends of the leaves, their grey bodies hairless, their small heads staring at the leaves with two inky black eyes, sucking the pungent smell with their mouths. Every time I absorb it, my whole body will be excited and trembling irrepressibly.

The goblins belong to the branch of the elf family, and they usually live around the giant trees. Living on the smell of black leaves, the strength is about five or six levels. There are a lot of them, and they are good at guerrillas. The most troublesome of these goblins are the ability to be magically exempt. Ordinary spells don't work.

A faint sound sounded, dozens of little goblins paused, all the heads were brushed to the north, each little goblin was extremely excited, and the four wings swooped over.

"Zizi~~~"

When he flew a few tens of meters, a black mist began to slowly float around.

The goblins smelled the mist and fled away from it as if they were vomiting. At this time, a figure ran out of the mist, and he was Grant.

"The effect of this dust is really good, if the stunned green ran into this dead wood, he would definitely flee in embarrassment, if I hadn't always remembered this trick, I would have suffered three or four times to know this little trick."

At this time, a black bow of will appeared in front of Grant's eyes, he aimed at four or five of them, and began to shoot them down non-stop, he knew that the prophetic mage needed the bodies of these little goblins, so he naturally had to prepare some for it to avoid running back and forth.

The screams rang out again and again, and when twenty-one of the goblins had fallen, Grant was content to take them back into the reserve and prepare to enter the manor for him.

Grant smiled and turned his head to look into the dark woods in the distance.

"It's still about a kilometer away from the Prophecy Mage Manor, and I'll have more fuel." Grant continued towards the manor.

Running all the way, when Grant cut down six specific trees according to his memory, and deducted black beads from them and placed them in the black clearing, a dilapidated manor gradually appeared in front of him.

There are two clues to the in-game account of this mage manor, one is that the owner of the manor summons you to enter here, or you follow this formation to open the enchantment on the manor's appearance.

"Wow~~"

There was a desolate smell in the air, and the manor house that appeared in front of me was dilapidated, the iron fence on the perimeter had long since been rusted by time, and many holes had been corroded in the crimson iron pillars.

The grass in the lawn was withered and dead, and it was a bare and barren dirt field. There is a gray mermaid fountain in the center, and a small stone bridge behind it can be seen a black four-story attic, which is covered with many black vines. Their sinuous twists cover everywhere.

"Let's go inside." Grant took a deep breath and hurriedly summoned the Silver Frost Wolf and Refye into it. He knew there wasn't much danger in looking at it here. But there's nothing wrong with at least being careful.

"Bang!"

The Silver Frost Wolf slammed into the iron fence, and the fragile iron fence immediately turned into a streamer and fell. A puff of grey smoke slowly spread to both sides.

Grant walked, and he didn't look around. Because he knew that the statue in front of him was the essence of the prophecy mage, and because he failed an experiment and became a solidified stone man, he hid the entire address for the last part of his life, and did not let anyone discover the secret.

After taking a few steps, Grant crossed a quiet path and also came to him.

"Hello, honorable Master Hattings, I think you could wake up and help me answer some questions."

There was not a single movement in the air, everything was as usual.

Grant smiled slightly, "I know you've become this statue." I just want to ask you something, and I won't reveal anything about you. ”

He was not in a hurry, and stared at it for ten minutes.

The statue knew that the other party was not going to leave, and at this time, it peeled off some gray stone chips, especially the mermaid statue's two eyes fell off all the stone chips, revealing dark gray eyes, and suddenly moved his eyes twice to continue to look at Grant.

"You little guy seems to know something." The statue's mouth, which had been pursed, came out hoarse and heavy, with a high smell of superiority.

The weird and terrifying eyes stared at Grant like this, and there was no thought of offset.

"I heard you're here. Now I want you to cast the Eye of the Future to see the curse in my body, how long it will be before it erupts, and I need a way to deal with it reasonably. ”

"You're really going to call people for free, if you want me to do things. First get me some goblin corpses, I need them. ”

"I've got it ready, I'll give it to you." Grant smiled and wiped his hands. The corpses of dozens of goblins automatically appeared in front of him and landed on the gray stone slabs, and the thudming sound became unusually loud in the silent manor.

Grant smiled. A confident look.

"You know that, it's a little bit of a surprise." The statue's voice was slightly startled. He really didn't expect this little guy to know so clearly.

"Now I'll help you see the curse in your body."

"Buzz~~"

The statue closed its eyes, and when it opened a pair of eyes with terrifying pressure again, it was like a straight sword plunging into Grant's chest.

Grant's body trembled slightly, and he felt as if his eyes were transcending time through the endless void, and the feeling was terrifying, as if he could really see his future and any time of his own death from inside.

The prophecy system may not be too mysterious in the game, but if you put it into reality, it is absolutely mysterious, especially the ability to see the past and the future like this, which is simply a bug. Unfortunately, the more important an ability like this is, the more terrible it will be.

A pillar of black light enveloped Grant's body, and he clenched his fists without moving a single step.

Standing next to them, Refy and the Silver Frost Wolf looked at their master, and they understood that at the moment the master was shrouded in some mysterious spell, and he himself agreed.

After a long time, the statue sighed.

"You still have nine months to go, and that time period may be sooner in the future."

"What?" Grant was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this to be the case at all.

He didn't believe that the burst time of the soul seed was so short, after all, he had estimated that it would take a year to normalize, and he sensed that the soul seed was only taking root now, and it would take some time to absorb the soul nutrients vigorously.

"Huh." The statue let out a shrill laugh and added, "I don't think you know the source of this curse yet, and every day you keep casting spells on it, and he is constantly urging the growth of the seeds in your body, although it is not visible now, but when it reaches a certain level, it will suddenly explode and you will not be able to face it." ”

"I can tell that the spellcaster hates you."

When Grant heard these words, a murderous intent burst out of his eyes, and he pressed himself so tightly. Grant has already made an absolute killing attempt, and if he can survive and make up his mind, he will definitely kill this person.

"Thank you. Master Hatins. Grant took a deep breath and buried the murderous intent in his body into the depths of his heart. He knew that now was not the time to deal with all this in front of him, and if he could, he could only improve his strength a little first. Then gather some money, and if possible, scavenge some copies of the nearby ones in your mind.

Only in this way can you guarantee that you don't have much of a problem to a certain extent.

"You want to collect money with money, do you?" Heatins said with a hint of sarcasm.

Grant was not coquettish, and nodded directly: "I have no choice, I can only find a way to collect some magic stones or enchanted items to exchange for a bottle of potion refined by a third-order apothecary, otherwise there is no way to unravel the curse in my body, although the probability is relatively small, but there is still a certain certainty." ”

"The odds are slim, but I have a deal that gives you that certainty."

"What?" Grant asked.

"I need a ghost. A living ghost, you help me search for it, and I can guide you to a place, where there is a basement where some potions can be used to relieve and limit its growth, I believe it can help you control its growth, if you can help me build a reincarnation circle, I can also give you a wurm-level bone land, I believe you will not miss the opportunity to let the half-dragon man behind him grow. ”

As a learned Hatins, he has also studied the dragon elders in the dragon clan who are good at time and space, and naturally he has also studied some characteristics of half-dragon people. Knowing that they can use their bloodline to enter the potential of the ascension, the specific degree of ascension also depends on the level of the half-dragon.

"This trade ......" Grant pondered, he thought about most of the map of the entire mage cluster, and then compared everything. This is the only way to find yourself now with a high chance.

"I can promise you, but Master Hatins I don't want this to deceive me, after all, I still have the ability to destroy the entire manor and this statue."

"I won't lie to you. After all, I've been stuck here and want to get out, if I don't know your details. I think I would have let you in and agreed to it, and now we're both win-win. Why can't I choose to believe it, after all, my identity is only the body of a statue, and there is no way to sign a magic contract with you. ”

"Then this matter will be determined for the time being, and I will help you find the ghost in two or three months." Grant breathed a sigh of relief, he accepted the deal in front of him.

"Then get out of here, I know you're almost close to the ten-day deadline, and it's the fourth day now."

"Goodbye." Grant took a deep look at Heatins, for the first time, he felt that this NPC was not ordinarily powerful, and he could even predict what he was doing in the Shadow Academy, it seemed that his previous identity was very powerful, but it was a pity that the background of the game was like this hidden place, and he did not specifically introduce his strength during his lifetime, but only mentioned that he was petrified in his body because of experiments.

After Grant got some of the problems out of the way, he let Refye and the Silver Frost Wolf return to the Demon Pet Space. He glanced at the attic behind him as he left, and there was a slight curiosity in his eyes, he knew that there was definitely something good there, but now was certainly not the time to go and watch.

After walking a few steps, Grant came to the fence gate.

He turned his head to look at the dilapidated manor in front of him, which gradually disappeared with the fog that gradually poured in around him, and finally disappeared into a floating phantom.

Grant stood in the doorway, shook his head, and left in a slightly better mood.

He knew that this transaction was also reasonable to accept, and finding a ghost to suppress the soul seed with potions was his only gain, if he could survive to the second-order mage, he could go to the swamp woodland to ask the apothecary to undo the curse for himself.

Grant dissipated with a puff of smoke and vanished into the dead woods.

…………

The doorway of the Shadow Academy.

A young mage in a black robe, with a thin face and a hint of fatigue, slowly entered the door, flashed his Shadow Badge and passed through the guards to the hallway of the dormitory area at the back of the Shadow Academy.

The flower beds planted on the left and right sides are full of flowers. An enticing scent of flowers is floating on it.

He took a greedy sip, and couldn't help but intoxicated: "I've been on the road for a total of seven days, and now I breathe in the fragrance of these flowers, and I'm really comfortable in my heart, there are still two days before the start of school, I can go to the room to sleep for a day, and then tidy up my things to prepare for the entrance ceremony the day after tomorrow." ”

After Grant, who was dressed in black robes, finished saying this, he slowly walked into the direction of the towering black tower in front of him. What he gained from this trip was able to make him less hurried for the time being.

…………

The distant city of Wanghuo.

The dilapidated town buildings have long since lost the bustle and noise of the original, the rows of neat shops have been reduced to ruins, collapsing everywhere, many places on the gray stone are black dried bloodstains, and there is a smell of greenery in the air that keeps washing away the smell of blood.

Green-armored elves or stout and bulky orcs were patrolling back and forth, their eyes glowing with excitement and smugness, and they changed shifts as they patrolled from the north side of Wanghuo City to the south gate.

Inside the original Baronial Castle.

In a dimly lit room, the full moon priest with a slightly messy hair was staring at the pool of blood gathered in front of him, and he would bless it with some blood at a specific time every day, and they would constantly urge the growth of soul seeds.

"Strange, why did I have a feeling of being peeped at just now?" There was a look of surprise in his eyes. There was always an inexplicable sense of crisis urging him in his heart. asked him to give up this spell quickly, but he still didn't agree to it, and continued to cast spells to promote the growth of soul seeds. (To be continued.) )
