"Strange ......" Ruan Chi suddenly looked behind him and found that the way he came had disappeared, and as for the stone tablet in front of him for some reason, he looked indescribably weird.

Forbidden land, as the name suggests, is a place where entry is prohibited.

"How can there be a forbidden place in the mountain behind the academy? Could it be that this Hilled Combat Academy has other hidden secrets? The more he looked at the stele, the more strange the feeling became, and Ruan Chi couldn't help but frown and mutter.

However, since it was a forbidden place, Ruan Chi also dispelled the idea of going in to find George to settle accounts, and was about to turn around and find a way back.

At this moment, suddenly, Ruan Chi felt a drop of water on his forehead, and when he raised his head, more droplets of water were sprinkled, and soon, it turned into heavy rain!

"Damn, why is it raining all of ...... suddenly?"

Since coming to Dream Town, it was the first time for Ruan Chi to see the rainy weather, so he was a little at a loss for a while.

He looked around and saw that the place was extremely empty, except for a forest behind the stone monument.

"I have no choice but to go in and take shelter from the rain, I believe that even if the beautiful dean knows that I have entered the forbidden land, she will not say anything?"

Ruan Chi just said this, but found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. So he didn't think about it anymore, and ran through the rain curtain in the direction of the forbidden place, and soon entered a wood, where the rain was noticeably lighter because of the dense foliage.

Wiping the rain off his face, Ruan Chi looked gloomy, and looked into the depths of the woods from time to time, "Let me find that guy George, and I must clean him up." ”

Because Ruan Chi thought that if it weren't for the small actions that George did behind his back, he wouldn't have been so wolf.

The rain made the muddy ground of the woods slippery. Feet on it are uneven. Several times Ruan Chi almost slipped. He cursed at George and took shelter from a big tree under a tree.

For some reason, since going deep into this forbidden place in the back mountain, the light around him has almost completely disappeared, and the vision in front of him has become pitch black, and he can't see his fingers. If it weren't for the sound of rain ticking above his head, he would have thought he was locked up in a closed room.

The weird atmosphere made Ruan Chi unconsciously feel hairy. Luckily, there were a lot of props in his backpack, so he took out a magic oil lamp and lit it, then squatted down and rubbed his hands together until the rain stopped.

Meanwhile.

Rachel and Herland were cooking when there was a sudden sound of the door opening, and Betty walked in from outside, humming a brisk song.

Rachel, who was holding an apron, came out of the kitchen, and when she saw Betty, who was in a good mood, she immediately smiled: "It seems that school is going to school today, okay?" ”

Betty stuck out her tongue, walked up and put her arms around Rachel, and said astringently, "My classmates are very good to me, and I have met a lot of friends today." ”

The fate of the Cursed Child has been lonely in the past, since coming to Dream Town. Betty's smile did increase a lot, and I saw the smile on her face. Rachel was happy for her from the bottom of her heart, reached out and touched her soft hair and cat ears, and smiled, "You will meet more friends in the future." ”

"Hmm." Cat Ear Niang nodded excitedly.

Rachel only found out at this time that the only person who came back was Betty, and she couldn't help but wonder and asked, "What about that guy?" ”

"Ruan Chi said that he still has some things, so he will come back later." Betty replied truthfully.

"Then leave him alone, let's eat first!" Rachel didn't think anything would happen to Ruan Chi, so she nodded and beckoned Herlan, who was still busy in the kitchen, to prepare dinner, and called Wenlaelite outside the house.

On the other hand, Sharis, the dean of the Hilled Combat Academy, was sitting in front of her office at the moment, and the fat assistant Liz was also beside her.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and a group of teachers came in carrying a stretcher, on which lay a pale schoolgirl with a bandage on her head.

This schoolgirl is clearly Jia Na who cooperated with George to "seduce" Ruan Chi earlier, but why is she here now?

It turned out that today, a teacher in charge of the security patrol of the academy heard a huge explosion when he passed by the back mountain, and he realized that something must have happened on the back mountain, so he deliberately ran over to take a look, and when he finally went there, in addition to seeing a messy land, he also found an unconscious Jia Na on the ground.

The teacher immediately informed the dean, Sharis, and she immediately summoned all the teachers back to discuss what had happened.

"What's the matter with this schoolgirl?" At this time, Salith's face was full of frost, and she glanced at Jana who was unconscious on the stretcher, and then asked the teacher standing in a row in front of her.

"I know this student, it's Jia Na from Class A of the advanced class." Like Ruan Chi, Adams, a Terran teacher who teaches advanced classes, took the initiative to come out and speak.

"Class A student, why did she appear in the back mountain alone?" Saris furrowed her good-looking eyebrows, stood up and said sharply, "Didn't I say that you should warn those students not to approach the back mountain?" ”

"We've talked about this kind of thing more than once, and nothing like that happened before, and I don't know why we let Jia Na go this time." One teacher said embarrassedly.

Shalith rubbed her eyebrows and sighed half-loudly: "Since everything has happened, it is useless for me to hold you responsible, notify Jana's parents immediately." ”

"Then the destroyed land in the back mountain, don't we care? With such obvious traces of battle, something must have happened to Yan zhòng. Thackeray the Minotaur asked with a hum.

"That's right, among the three rules of Dream Town, it is forbidden for anyone to use violent means, even if we usually practice martial arts, we must be teachers, otherwise we will be judged to violate the rules. The obvious signs of fighting in the back mountain indicate that there are people who have violated the code and have fought violently, and it is necessary to report this matter to the mayor. "Dark-skinned less. She actually supported Thackeray's statement, and also took the initiative to say.

However, as the dean, Sharisy suddenly waved her hand and said, "Until the matter is investigated, we can't make judgments, so let's divide you into three groups." A group of people went to inform Jana's parents and find a priest to treat Jana's injuries. See when she wakes up. She was the only eyewitness at the scene, and we didn't know the truth until she woke up. As for the other two groups of people, one group went to inform the mayor, and the other group went with me to the back mountain, maybe I could find a clue. ”

"Yes, Dean!"

After all the teachers had left the office in groups, Sharisy got up from her chair and prepared to leave for the back mountain. But she had only taken two steps and stopped.

"Wait, are all the teachers gathered just now?" Shalith asked Liz, the assistant next to her.

The chubby Liz paused and said respectfully: "Back to the dean, except for the two new teachers who didn't know about the mountain behind the academy, we called all the teachers. ”

"Two new teachers?" Shalith thought about it, she did recruit two new sword teachers recently, and because she was a newcomer, she didn't have time to tell about some taboos about the mountains behind the Hilled Battle Academy.

A not-so-good premonition rose in Salith's heart, and her face changed slightly, and then she ordered Liz, "Inform those two new teachers to come back immediately." After a pause, she muttered again, "...... Anyway, that kind of thing will have to be sued sooner or later. ”

"Yes."

……

After dinner. Herlan and Betty were busy in the kitchen while Werlerit fell asleep on her side on the sandy side in the living room.

As for Rachel. Then he went outside the house and fetched a bucket of well water to prepare to boil water for a bath.

Life in Dream Town is generally ordinary, but Rachel has been used to these peaceful days since she was a child.

In her opinion, since being labeled a "traitor", she has no other luxuries, only to stay in this paradise and live a good day ahead.

After breakfast in the morning, she went to the academy to be a teacher, and when she got home, she made dinner by herself, then boiled water and took a bath, occasionally practiced swordsmanship during her breaks, and had a few children with someone in the near future, maybe this is her future.

At the thought of having a baby, Rachel can't help but feel a little shy, but more about happiness and sweetness. Her age is actually at the age where she can have children among the white elves, but when she was still in the Elven Forest before, she was very cautious in choosing a partner, so she has always remained single.

Now that she is married to Ruan Chi, she naturally thinks about the child.

"But I'm not of his race, and if the future child is a cursed like Betty and Heran, the gods will punish us......"

The elven female swordsman was thinking about it, but not far away, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and a hurried chubby figure ran over from a distance.

"Mr. Liz?" Seeing the visitor, Rachel showed a surprised expression.

"Teacher Rachel, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but something has happened in the academy, and the dean hopes that you and Teacher Ruan Chi can go back." After calming her breath a little, Liz hurriedly conveyed Salith's words.

"What happened to the Academy?" Rachel reacted, and was also a little anxious, although she was not a swordsmanship teacher for a long time, but for those children, she liked them very much, and naturally she didn't like her students sometimes.

"The hill behind the academy was found to have been damaged, and when we got there, we found a schoolgirl who had passed out on the ground...... By the way, the female student is from Teacher Ruan Chi's class. Leeds thought of something halfway through, and then added a sentence and asked, "By the way, what about Mr. Ruan Chi?" ”

"He's not back yet......" Rachel was about to reply, but halfway through, she had a bad premonition.

Doesn't it have anything to do with him? Rachel smiled bitterly.

……

Rachel did guess correctly, but she didn't know that the culprit was still hiding from the rain.

It's strange to say, there is obviously no rain in the town, but it is pouring rain in the forbidden land of the back mountain, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Of course, Ruan Chi didn't know that the rain was only falling above his head, and he was now soaking wet, and the magic oil lamp was also drenched by the rain.

Feeling that the big tree he was sheltering from the rain was starting to be useless, Ruan Chi tried to stand up and run out in the rain, but before he could take two steps, there was a sudden crackling sound in the sky, as if something heavy had penetrated the branches and leaves on his head and fell.

Ruan Chi raised his head to look up, and at this time, a large hailstone suddenly hit his head-

9

Single-digit red letters floated up. It doesn't feel pain though. But for no reason, he was smashed in the face. Ruan Chi was also a little speechless. Picking up the hailstone on the ground, he couldn't spit it out.

"How could it be that even hailstones appeared!"

Before he could figure out where the hailstone was coming from, there was a more rapid "pop" sound over his head, followed by more hail falling.

Ruan Chi had no way to dodge at all, and several places on his body were hit by hailstones, each of these hailstones was the size of a fist, and it was estimated that ordinary people would break their heads and bleed in a few moments when they were hit-

7，-8-9……

Ruan Chi ran forward as fast as he could, because the light around him was so dim that he didn't know which direction to go.

Unknowingly, after hiding for five minutes, most of the blood bars on his head were worn off, and in desperation, he had to stop and drink a bottle of concentrated life fountain to replenish the lost health points.

"If you crush this hail to death, it will really become a big joke."

Ruan Chi was muttering, and in front of him, a gray building appeared in front of him. Standing in the depths of this gloomy forest, it seems to have appeared out of thin air.

When did this structure appear?

Ruan Chi also felt strange in his heart. But the rain and hail were getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't want to think about it anymore, so he had to rush straight over.

When I ran closer, I found that the building seemed to be three or four stories high, and it covered a fairly wide area, like a manor, and the gate opened as soon as I pushed it, Ruan Chi hurriedly ran in.

Finally no longer had to endure the dense hail, Ruan Chi let out a long breath, after all, the taste of rain and being smashed was really uncomfortable.

"What the hell is this place?" After combing his wet hair, Ruan Chi looked at the interior of the building in front of him with some suspicion. At the same time, I am very curious about what secrets this forbidden place located on the mountain behind the academy has.

Driven by curiosity, Ruan Chi went deeper along the corridor of the building, and soon the space became open, and rooms appeared on both sides, and there were even some simple furniture in them.

Ruan Chi walked into one of the rooms, there were several sofas in the room, and near the window, you could see the black mountain outside, and it was still raining heavily outside, and the sound of "popping" was endless.

Seeing this heavy rain and hail that didn't mean to stop at all, Ruan Chi couldn't help but be a little depressed, "Didn't Rachel say that the weather in Dream Town is like spring all year round?" It stands to reason that such bad weather could not have happened. ”

In fact, Ruan Chi probably never dreamed that this kind of bad weather would only appear in this mysterious forbidden place in the back mountains, and the town is still full of moonlight and stars, not to mention rain and hail, not even a trace of dark clouds.

After walking a few more rooms, Ruan Chi did not find anything else in the building, until he returned to the hall and was about to go up the stairs when he saw a portrait.

This is a portrait of a character, drawing the back of a character, when Ruan Chi found it, his expression was obviously stunned, because he had clearly seen this portrait.

"By the way, there seems to be such a portrait in the office of the beautiful dean." Ruan Chi remembered that a strange expression appeared on his face.

Looking closely at the back of the man playing the harp in the portrait, Ruan Chi is almost certain to be the same as the portrait in Dean Saris's office, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that this portrait seems to have been seen somewhere.

"Nana, yes, this guy is Nana!"

Ruan Chi suddenly patted his forehead nervously, stepped forward and looked at it a few more times, and immediately determined that the man in this portrait was the troubadour Nana.

"Why is Nana's portrait here?" Ruan Chi muttered, and the afterglow of his eyes quickly swept to a date under the corner of the portrait, on which was written the spring of April 1013 in the miracle calendar.

"1013?"

Seeing the date, Ruan Chi first thought of the timeline where the heroic copy of the Light of Hyred was located, which seemed to be 1003, ten years away from the date of the inscription on the portrait.

Nana in the copy is just a teenager and a half-year-old, but Nana in the portrait has grown up, although there is only a back, but no matter how you look at it, she is an adult, exactly the same as the current extraditer troubadour Nana.

"Are they all the same?" Ruan Chi was a little more suspicious in his heart, but at the same time he was puzzled, if Nana in the copy 2000 years ago was the same person as the man in the portrait, and the renditer troubadour Nana in Dream Town today, then what kind of character was he who lived for 2000 years.

Recalling the scene when Nana was killed a few days ago, Ruan Chi felt that it was unlikely to be like this, if Nana lived for 2000 years, it was reasonable to have that little strength.

Just when Ruan Chi was puzzled, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, accompanied by a deep voice, "Host!" ”

Ruan Chi was startled, and his conditioned reflex was about to raise his hand and smash it with a punch, but what caught his eye was a familiar face.

"Deep blue?" Seeing the face that was the same as the mother in his memory, Ruan Chi immediately retracted his fists, and at the same time said angrily: "Sister, can you tell me in advance when you appear?" ”

"Didn't I just scream behind you?" Shen Lan, who was projected into the appearance of Ruan Chi's mother, tilted his head and said expressionlessly.

"Rub, forget it, I'm not arguing with you about this." Ruan Chi cupped his forehead, and then asked, "When did you wake up from your slumber, and did you recover all the energy you lost from using the Eye of Titan last time?" ”

"80% recovered." Deep Blue said in a calm tone. (To be continued......)
