Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mysterious Old Man
Ouyang Chenxi smiled indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a chain, if it's broken, it's broken!" ”
Ouyang Chenxi's words scared the other three a lot, they still remember the tragic situation of Situ Xiaofeng last time, and now, the chain is broken in Murong Chen's hands, Ouyang Chenxi didn't even pursue it, and he looked like he was very generous.
This made several people a little uncalm, but the least calm of them was Situ Xiaofeng, he still remembered his tragic appearance at the beginning, no one could have imagined that the beautiful young man Yan Ruyu, who usually had a handsome son, initiated Biao Lai, but it was a person who blocked and killed people, and the Buddha blocked and killed Buddha.
"What do you think?" Murong Yu threw the small pile of things in his hand to the ground and asked with raised eyebrows.
Murong Yu's actions made the other three's hearts tremble, Ouyang Chenxi smiled and nodded, "It's really powerful, then we will be classmates in the future, if you need anything, you can tell us, we will try our best to help you, of course, if we need anything, please help as much as possible, this can be regarded as a kind of compensation!" ”
Situ Xiaofeng and the other three were already covered in blood, Murong Yu pursed his lips speechlessly, feeling that this guy has made such a big detour, and the ultimate goal is to make friends with her!
"As much as possible!" Murong Yu frowned. There's nothing wrong with befriending them, if she can gather the power of the five great families, it will be beneficial to her.
Ouyang Chenxi smiled, looked at the others and asked, "Have you heard about this placement test?" ”
"When we came here just now, the tutor had already notified that he wanted the six branches to test together!" Situ Xiaofeng came back to his senses and replied.
"I heard that this test is different from the past, but I don't know how it will be different", Ouyang Chenxi smiled, and a flash of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"I won't know in a month!" The young man who had been with a cold face on the side spoke.
Murong Yu turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a young man with a handsome face, his face was expressionless, full of facial paralysis, if he hadn't spoken, he was afraid that Murong Yu would not have noticed him.
Situ Xiaofeng noticed her gaze, reached out and grabbed her shoulder and smiled, "I forgot to introduce you!" ”
Then he pointed to Xiahou Xiaoyu and said: "His name is Xiahou Xiaoyu, he is from the White Tiger family, and he is now in the priest's branch!" He turned his finger to the young man with a paralyzed face and said, "His name is Nangong Yichen, he is from the Qinglong family, and he is now in the Knight Branch. ”
Murong Yu raised his eyes and glanced at them, Xiahou Xiaoyu looked at her, nodded with a smile, and Nangong Yichen also nodded at her with a straight face, Murong Yu didn't say anything, turned his head expressionlessly, and continued to be silent.
Situ Xiaofeng also understood her temperament, turned his head to look at Ouyang Chenxi and said, "It's nothing!" We're going to have to go back to the pre-test assault! ”
Ouyang Chenxi smiled and nodded, Situ Xiaofeng pulled Murong Yu out of the hidden cave, and after returning to the dormitory, Situ Xiaofeng was even more presumptuous towards Murong Yu, and he almost squeezed a bed with her.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Situ Xiaofeng let her go, and in the dead of night, Murong Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and released his mental power to probe Situ Xiaofeng's bed, knowing that he was already asleep, Murong Yu's figure suddenly disappeared on the bed, and the next second she appeared downstairs in the dormitory.
She had vaguely asked Situ Xiaofeng before, the location of each branch, tonight, Murong Yu decided to go to the archer branch, after all, she had a bow in her hand, and it was convenient to practice.
Leaving the dormitory building, he directly released his spiritual power, flashed out of the space, and in just a few seconds, he had already left the peak belonging to the Apothecary Branch, standing between the peaks, on the large and surprisingly large square, and then his figure flashed and flashed towards the peak of the Archer Branch.
On the mountainside, Murong Yu encountered many phantom formations and magic arrays, and directly flashed them with space, ignoring those formations.
In front of the library building of the archer branch, there are more than 100 floors in the library, and each floor emits a faint light, which is particularly beautiful in the silent night sky.
Unleashing his spiritual power to envelop the entire library building, and finding that there was a mentor patrolling each floor, Murong Yu frowned.
"This guard is really tight!" Murong Yu hid in the shadows, frowning slightly.
After thinking about it, Murong Yu left the Archer Branch in a flash, but she didn't go back to the dormitory, but turned around and went to the Warlock Branch.
Standing in the square of the Warlock's Branch, there is a dilapidated statue standing in the center of the square, and in the dark night, you can see a bird-like monster standing on the shoulder of the statue.
The surrounding buildings are extremely dilapidated, obviously they haven't been renovated for a long time, and they didn't encounter a defensive formation when they came up just now, and this place is more like an uninhabited ruin than the strictly guarded archer branch.
Murong Yu frowned when he looked at the empty appearance of the Warlock Branch, how could the Warlock not be like this? This is obviously a very powerful profession, how can it be strangled in the cradle by people?
Although she was puzzled, she also knew the purpose of her coming here, and released her spiritual power to lock the location of the library building, and appeared outside the library building.
On the first floor of the library sat a white-haired old man, the flame crystal in front of him emitted a faint light, and the old man was sitting at the table mending a book.
Murong Yu looked at the old man and asked, "How is his strength?" ”
"Intermediate Warlock!" Shenyue's cold voice sounded in his ears.
Murong Yu raised his eyebrows, "Only intermediate at such an age!" ”
Having an old man guard the library is enough to prove that the academy has neglected the Warlock Branch.
Murong Yu glanced at the old man, since there was no threat, then she didn't have to care.
Dodge into the second floor, use your mental power to find a few introductory books for warlocks, and then flash into the space medicine house to start learning.
One school day is one night, calculate the time, and return to the dormitory before dawn.
For a few days, Murong Yu stayed between the Apothecary Branch and the Warlock Branch.
In the morning, she took classes in the Apothecary Branch, and was dragged by Situ Xiaofeng to guide her in the afternoon, and she didn't have time to go to the Warlock Branch until the evening.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and the night gradually covered the land, and under the night sky, a thin figure flashed in the square of the Warlock's Branch.
On the second floor of the library building, the thin figure suddenly appeared, took out a book from the bookshelf and began to read.
"The records of these combined spells are too scattered, I have found several books, and I haven't found them all!" Murong Yu frowned, a little impatient.
Although the warlock is very powerful, it is also difficult to learn, not to mention the hand speed of the seal, let's just say that these combined spells are recorded so scattered, she has already found a lot of books, and she has not found one, which really consumes too much of her patience.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps at the stairs, Murong Yu dodged and hid in the dark, and the old man guarding the library walked upstairs with a pile of books and put the books on the shelves.
"Not yet!" The old man put his hands behind his back and turned his head to look at the place where Murong Yu was hiding.
Murong Yu frowned and pursed his lips, since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide, and walked out with his feet raised.
The old man looked at the little one who came out of the shadows, looked her up and down carefully, and found that she had a warlock's book in her hand.
"You're learning spells?"
Murong Yu raised his eyes to look at the old man and found that he didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, "Yes! ”
The old man turned around and went downstairs, and said as he walked, "Don't you know that the warlock has fallen, and none of the people who become warlocks have a good end?" There was a bit of desolation in the old man's voice.
"Being a warlock is my choice, it's none of the others!" Murong Yu followed the old man and came to the first floor.
The old man sat down on the chair, nodded and said, "It's a daring kid!" ”
The old man looked at Murong Yu, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, in fact, he had already discovered it when Murong Yu first came here, originally thought that it was a curious student who wanted to come here to have a look, but then he found Murong Yu's trace for several days, which made him start to pay attention to this little guy.
"You're a freshman in this class?"
Murong Yu found a chair to sit down and replied, "Hmm! ”
"With so many professions, why do you want to be a warlock? Warlocks are not as good as they used to be! The old man poured a cup of tea and handed it to Murong Yu.
Murong Yu picked up the teacup and put it under his nose and sniffed it but didn't drink it, "I think warlock is a very powerful profession, so, I learned!" ”
"If you want to learn spells, I can teach you, would you?" The old man took a sip of tea, looked at Murong Yu and asked with a smile.
Murong Yu turned his head to look at the old man, there was some hesitation in his eyes, the learning of spells was extremely difficult, if he could have someone to guide him, he would learn faster, but the strength of this old man was only intermediate, and after Shenyue's judgment, she had at least broken through to the advanced level, and it was a bit of a loss to worship this old man as a teacher!
"Promise him! I didn't pay attention to it before, the reason why his strength stayed at the intermediate stage was because his soul was traumatized and his strength declined! Just as Murong Yu was hesitating, Shenyue suddenly spoke.
Murong Yu immediately nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he stood up, took out a cup of Biwu tea from the space medicine house, and brought it to the old man with both hands, "I've seen the teacher"!
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, she was talking about the teacher instead of the tutor, in the academy, the tutor is just an honorific title, and the teacher is the existence of teaching students for a lifetime.
The old man stood up and took the tea in her hand, "I will do my best to pass on to you what I have learned all my life!"
"What stage of magic have you reached now?"
Murong Yu thought about it, it's better to estimate the bottom, "intermediate"!
The old man was stunned when he heard this, "Middle...... Intermediate, have you reached intermediate? The old man was a little surprised, looking at Murong Yu's appearance, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old at most, an intermediate warlock at fourteen or fifteen years old!
"Yes!" Murong Yu replied calmly.
"Hehehe, good boy, the talent is really good," the old man's emotions were a little excited, and his eyes were slightly red, "If the warlock can have a few more geniuses like you, then there is no worry that the warlock will not be able to revive!" ”
"Why did the Warlock become the way he is?" Murong Yu was puzzled by what made everyone give up such a powerful profession.
The old man's eyes were stained with a touch of sadness, "Alas, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's all because those warlocks with bad intentions used forbidden techniques to do human body research, killing a large number of strong people in the Bright Continent, and then the Three Kingdoms even killed all the warlocks, and no one has been learning spells since then." There was a slight desolation in the old man's voice, it was because of that massacre that the status of the warlock in the Bright Continent was completely changed.
Murong Yu was slightly startled, she had guessed that those people might also have a residence in this world, but she didn't expect it to be related to warlocks.
"There is also a forbidden spell in the Warlock skill!" Murong Yu was very surprised, she really didn't want to see the things studied in the organization in her previous life, although she had killed countless people and her hands were stained with blood, but after seeing the peeled human skins and the vials of internal organs cultivated by the potion, she couldn't help but feel chills every time she thought about it.
The old man nodded, "Yes, but the people who touch the forbidden art are all people who have bad intentions, and they use the forbidden art to do human research, so the warlock has suffered an unprecedented blow, and it has also achieved the current decline of the warlock." ”
"Then how did you get your injuries, teacher?" Murong Yu felt that if he could survive the massacre of the Three Kingdoms, his strength must not be low, but since who had the ability to injure him, why would he let him go? Moreover, the warlock has become an enemy of the people, so why would the dean of the Saint Laurent Academy let him stay here? Still keeping the sign of the Warlock Branch?
Murong Yu didn't know all these questions, she only knew that the old man in front of her was definitely not as simple as she imagined.
"At that time, I was hunted down, and I escaped by fleeing to the River of Death!" When the old man talked about the river of death, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"The River of Death?" Murong Yu knew in the memory of this body that the River of Death was a forbidden area for human beings, and as long as other people heard the words River of Death, they would be frightened, let alone go, and the others were not very clear.
"The River of Death is a dead river leading to the Ghost Realm, and that river is inhabited by thousands of evil spirits, and as long as someone approaches, those evil spirits will suck their blood and souls like crazy, and eat their flesh and blood, and I tried my best to escape from the hands of those evil spirits! It was also there that I was seriously injured! ”
"What kind of place is the Ghost Domain?" When Murong Yu heard this name for the first time, she only felt that the inexplicable anger in her heart was burning, which made her frown.
