Chapter 001: To the Forest of Death
The temperature has dropped, and the gloomy weather is always accompanied by the day.
As the year came to an end for the Shadow Academy, Grant simply rejected the new contract and left the Blacktower with all his belongings to stay in some of the hotels in Seleface City for a while. After all, the accommodation of the Black Tower is a benefit for the teacher, and he has already withdrawn from the Black Tower, so naturally he will not get this benefit. After packing up some things, he hurried down the tower.
Under the tower, there are three figures.
They are a man and two women, Sigrus, Tefiel, and Taylor. Strictly speaking, they are also the closest acquaintances to Grant.
"Grant, I didn't know you were leaving yesterday to join the Black Shadow Killers. I have to say, you're really amazing. Now that I think that you must be a mage in the middle and late stages of the first order when you enter the Shadow Academy, this meditation advancement speed is simply against the sky. ”
"Alright, Sigrus, you better not speak. We're here to help. ”
"Okay, I know, can't I?"
After a brief conversation, the three of them helped Grant take some salutes. Grant's reserve space was limited, so it was naturally impossible to store many things, so Grant and the others picked up some of the remaining miscellaneous items and hurried down the road to the hotel on Shanding Street.
"Thank you, and I'll see you later if I have time. There is still half a month left for the Black Shadow Killer to select members, and I need to take the opportunity to prepare during this time, if you have time to contact me through the communication runes. ”
Grant walked down the road and explained to the three on either side.
"No problem, we can understand that."
"Of course I do."
The four of them talked a word and walked out of the Shadow Academy.
…………
In the past ten days, there have been more and more ascetics in the city of Selephas. It makes the city lively.
Occasionally, some contradictions erupted, causing the Mage Alliance to automatically send out a group of leather-armored puppet warriors. One by one, armed with spears, mages who went to maintain the system or punish some kind of violation of discipline. With such a time, half a month has passed.
All the mages understood the selection test to participate in the Black Shadow Killer.
In a hotel.
Three yellow-robed ascetics stood in place. Discuss something carefully.
"Big Brother Beate, this is your chance. As long as you can become a member of the official Black Shadow Killer Band, then we can be considered to have a backer. After so many years of wandering and training outside, we need to put down roots. ”
"That's natural, and this is an opportunity for me to improve. Once inside, a large number of equipment, meditation methods, spells, and various combat experiences and even rare and rare spells are possessed. That's where we mages live. ”
"Big brother. You will definitely succeed. ”
Several people looked at Beate with longing in their eyes, and the atmosphere of envy was thick.
In other places, such as the second-level family forces in Seleface City, many young children were also sent out to join the Black Shadow Killing Group. After all, the resources in the Black Shadow Killing Group are not available to ordinary families. Because of this, they are willing to squeeze in.
…………
"Let's go, I'm going to join the first audition too."
Grant knew it was time to act, and after half a month of preparation. He also collected scrolls, spell dust cast in the potion section, and a few simple magic traps he had purchased.
Meantime. He studied the process diagram of the rune and made a few small rune array tools that simply delayed time.
In the early morning, the sky was not yet fully bright.
Black Shadow Killer Regiment, Headquarters Square. Adjacent to the Shadow Academy headquarters.
Nearly a hundred mages crowded into the gray square, all eyes locked on the high platform in front of the square, where a slender figure stood. A female mage with delicate skin. He was dressed in leather white armor and wore a colorful leather holster around his waist. Each is filled with powerful spell waves.
"Look at Andrea, one of the twelve captains of the Black Shadow Killing Troupe, I didn't expect her to be in charge this time. Then our task this time will be easier, after all, her review is not strict. ”
"Luck was good."
They whispered, and Grant stood in the corner silent. He didn't join the Black Shadow Killer Team during this time period in the game, so naturally he didn't know which captain it would be this time, but now that he was confident to enter the Black Shadow Killer Team, he naturally didn't care which captain supervised.
In the square with white robes and black robes, Beate was standing in a corner, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found a familiar figure standing in a corner, with a very familiar appearance, black eyes, long flaxen hair and waist. , it's Grant.
"I didn't expect Grant to be here, and it looks like he's really reached strength. The test of the Black Shadow Killer is very dangerous, one more partner is one more, and two people must be safe. Thinking of this, Beate walked up to Grant with a few arrows and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
"Grant, I didn't expect you to come."
"Beate? You're coming fast, how's that? Are you sure this time? ”
"Let's make peace, only 30% sure."
Bate and Grant chatted and talked about the recent events. Grant generally understood this, and talked about the three sub-families who had the best chance of becoming a member of the Black Shadow Killer Group this time, and this time they participated.
They are the Silver Hymns: The Peleleid Family, the Disemboweling Grim Reaper: The Jessica Family, and the Flame Growlers: The Jocelyn Family.
Their patriarch is a mage with the title, second only to the Four Powers and the Shadow Academy in Seleface City. The strength of the children of the family is very powerful, far surpassing the mages of the same level. So, because of this, their hopes of getting into the top few are much greater.
"It's really good, they can reach the second order mage at such a young age. Wait until the future training, at least a mid-second-order or late-second-order mage, like a few days to reach the third-order mage. I don't know when I'll get to this point. ”
Beate's eyes were envious, and his eyes were fixed on several young men with handsome faces and luxurious white robes in the distance. There was a fluctuation in the level of demonic items from their bodies, which made the nearby ascetics unconsciously take a step back, obviously not wanting to be involved with them.
Grant didn't care, his ascent speed was probably scary enough.
"Beate, don't look at it. This time, the executive overseer is here. ”
He clapped his hands and reminded Beate.
"Really?"
"Of course." Grant looked up at the platform.
On the high platform, the female mage smiled and exchanged a few words with a bald male mage, then took a step back and asked the bald man to come forward and explain the rules and the number of successful people.
"Hello, I'm Pygers, one of the twelve captains of the Black Shadow Slayer, and I'm sure you've heard of me. I don't want to say anything more than the rules this time. The test site was the Death Forest, a radiation ban area. You'll need to get the five mutant crystals inside the Radiant Behemoth, and survive in the Forest of Death for up to two months. Over the course of two months, eight members will be selected to join the Black Shadow Killers. ”
After Pygersis finished speaking, his smiling eyes swept over the nearly 100 people below and turned his head over.
"Ah, eight people. It's too difficult, so many of us only pick eight people. It seems that he is the hardest captain of the year, and I can't be selected this time. Maybe you won't be able to join the Black Shadow Killer until the year after tomorrow, which is really a waste of time. ”
"You don't know that the slower you go to the back, the slower you are, and when you join the Black Shadow Killing Group later, you will join now, no matter the status and family status are different, after all, it is relatively old."
"Then I'll give it a try."
The group of mages erupted in disappointment, their voices filled with disappointment and vague anger.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless ascetics. I know that complaining, I know that you can't win if you don't have resources piled up, so it's better to admit defeat quickly, so as not to waste most of your time here. ”
A descendant of the Peleride family sneered, his voice sarcastic and his eyes disdainful.
"What ......"
A teacher of the ascetic faction, furious and angry.
Pygseus stood on the high platform, and after noticing that the scene became hot, he used his voice spell and said loudly: "Listen to me, all the people, you are not allowed to fight casually here, if you want to, get me outside." In the meantime, now that you're ready to board the airship, I'll transport you to the outer reaches of the Forest of Death, and you'll need to do it yourself. ”
When he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers. The sky in the distance is suspended by a giant magical airship. Nearly a hundred magical floating spells and wind shifting spell runes were solidified on the surface, making the magic airship very fast.
Grant stood in the corner of one side, understanding that it was a flying puppet that only a third-order mage could have, and it belonged to a strategic-level weapon. It is more powerful than riding a Flame Eagle on its own, and at the same time it is very fast.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The sky rumbled, and a bitter wind howled, blowing the mage's hood and robes in the square. Huge black shadows covered the sky, casting a shadow.
"Give it to me!"
Pygersis shouted, and manipulated the airship to lower the ascending pillars of light, allowing the mages to ascend.
As the head of the twelve, he naturally has the best weapons and equipment, and his own strength is also extremely strong.
Countless dazzling golden lights shrouded in, forming half-sized pillars of light. Some of the mages who approached were surprised at first, and they all retreated, until they noticed the situation, walked in, and disappeared into the square.
"Grant, let's go inside. We'll go inside later, and we'll team up together. ”
Bate quietly approached Grant's side and lowered her voice.
"Okay." Grande heads up, walks into the airship with Beate, and disappears into the pillar of light.
After entering the airship, a chaotic golden light flashed in front of his eyes, and it instantly dimmed, turning into a huge hall. It is divided into two floors, and above it is a golden staircase that surrounds it. Arrays of chairs were placed where Grant was, and several slender lampposts with flames stood nearby.
"Looks like we're already in here, so just wait for the time to come. Hopefully this time it will be successful. ”
Grant whispered, his eyes full of hope. He understands that with the identity of the Black Shadow Killer Group, the first is to quickly improve his strength, and the second is to give himself an identity certificate. The back is the Black Shadow Killing Group, and Meredith naturally won't do it secretly. (To be continued.) )
