Chapter Ninety-Seven: Academy 1
Victor's expression was unusually serious when he returned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He left the survivors behind, then instructed a gray-robed wizard before leaving the place.
Stephen and his party stayed until the next morning, and the wizards prepared a carriage to escort the apprentice onwards, their destination five days away. In the past two days, Stephen has been bored and learned a little about the survivor, his name is Edward Wick, a native of the Southern Wind Valley. The poor creature had been curled up in the corner of the carriage alone until now, looking like a demented imbecile, and the gray-robed wizard said that the Harpys had fed him aphrodisiac but nerve-damaging plants, and then caused permanent psychological shadows under extreme stimulation.
I'm afraid that I can only find a way to treat him after bringing him back to the academy.
The poor creature had been badly ravaged by the Harpy, after all, the Invisible Banshee, who had degraded many times, was almost like a beast.
They took the apprentices and fed them some special plants, and then everyone went into a frenzy during the harpy mating ritual, and at first there was nothing wrong with the process and even a little fragrant, if they could receive the harpy form, they should be considered relatively beautiful creatures. But near the end of the ritual, the Harpy's cruel nature erupted, tearing apart the captives that had been drained of their value and eating them all. Poor Edward Wick witnessed the whole process, and the horrific scene almost destroyed his sanity.
on the carriage.
Lina quietly approached Stephen's side and whispered, "Do you think he can be cured?"
Stephen glanced at Edward, who was drooling in the corner, and frowned, "Who knows?
This guy is basically scrapped.
Stephen could see his broken heart, in the words of the East, this guy's three souls and seven souls were incomplete, and even if he was lucky enough to save it, it would be a shadow for a lifetime. If something like this happens, the wizards will definitely not send him back, which will greatly affect the prestige of the wizards.
Three days later.
The scenery outside the carriage had become more and more desolate, and the long journey had left all the apprentices extremely tired.
In the afternoon.
Stephen and his party encountered a convoy from the other direction, with apprentices from elsewhere on it, led by a blue-robed wizard. However, the appearance of those apprentices is a little stranger, the number of humans is not very large, and some of the apprentices are not human at first glance, and look a bit like half-blood goblins. Their skin ranges from green to blue, their bodies are thin and slender, and their jawbones are pointed, a bit like snake faces, which doesn't quite fit Stephen's aesthetic.
"Wizard Mograini. ”
"Wizard Julian. ”
The two blue-robed wizards greeted each other not very friendly, and then heard the other party gloat a little, "I heard that you are in some trouble at sea?"
Mograini frowned and swallowed his anger and said, "Yes. ”
"Oh. I'm afraid you'll be reprimanded by the three towers when you go back. Wizard Julian chuckled.
Three seats in the tower?
Stephen pricked up his ears, thought for a moment, and asked a gray-robed wizard next to him, "What are the Three Towers?"
"Don't ask. You'll know when the time comes. The gray-robed wizard next to him frowned and glanced at Stephen.
At this time, the blue-robed wizard of Mograini had returned, and he smiled palely, "These are not secrets. The Elemental Tower has three towers in addition to the main tower, and they are the top three seats in the Academy. Lord Firefeather-Victor is a disciple of Sanxi. ”
The blue-robed wizard wasn't interested in explaining much.
The team soon set out again, gradually reaching the wasteland of the Gobi, and finally to the vicinity of a desolate canyon.
"Here we are. A gray-robed wizard said.
One by one, the apprentices walked down curiously, but they were disappointed to find that there was nothing in front of them, no academy and no tower, and this was simply the deserted Gobi Desert.
Only Stephen's expression fluctuated a little, he looked at his eyes playfully, and muttered, "I see." ”
There are powerful energy fluctuations underground.
This is the heart of the leyline node, and everything that seems desolate in front of you hides other secrets.
"Everybody keep up. A gray-robed wizard said.
There was an eagle hovering in the sky, and it flew around the heads of the crowd and then landed.
"Lord Antonio!"
The next scene stunned all the apprentices, the blue-robed wizard at the head actually saluted the eagle respectfully, and only then did they see the terrifying face of the eagle in front of them, it had six pairs of eyes, densely covered on the head, the bird pecked with fine sharp teeth, and the sharp claws were dark red.
"Are you back?, why are there so few people this time?" the eagle in front of him suddenly spoke.
But then it was a little impatient and said, "Go in." ”
It was as if an invisible curtain of light dissipated, and the real world seen by the naked eye cracked a crack, and what appeared in front of it was not a desolate Gobi, but a deep and dark forest.
"Keep up. Don't go near those trees, they're magic willows. ”
The blue-robed wizard said solemnly, "Trust me. You're not going to like them. ”
The willow trees sway in the wind.
When the crowd approached, they could even hear faint whispers, as if they were observing and discussing the crowd.
At the end of the road was a high wall, a huge willow tree blocked the front, and when everyone approached, an old face appeared, and he said in a hoarse voice with a blank face: "Password." ”
"Elemental power!" the blue-robed wizard said in a strange accent.
"Correct. The huge willow tree moved away, and a gate appeared behind it.
The apprentices walked past the willow tree with curiosity and awe, and Stephen even touched it as he passed, but the giant willow tree did not notice the small movement.
After passing through the gate, everything in front of me suddenly opened up.
Strange-style buildings can be seen all over the horizon, and many hurried apprentices can be seen on the streets, who take one look and look away. The most striking thing about this place is the three towers that reach into the sky, one with flames at the top, one with thunderclouds at the top, and the last suspended in the air.
"Why are there only three?" said Stephen, observing everything curiously.
A gray-robed wizard led them to their quarters, a castle-like dormitory, with two large armoured bodies in the doorway, one holding a greatsword in one hand and a greataxe in the other.
