Chapter 11: The Stone Wall
Lorraine and his party had reached the outer docks of the island.
Once again, Doma's voice rang out throughout the ship: "All the apprentices, all assemble on deck!" ”
Lorraine and Hua Lin looked at each other: "Are we here?" ”
"Chances are, we might be going to start choosing a house, but we don't know anything about wizarding colleges. How do we choose? ”
……
By the time they reached the deck, most of the would-be apprentices had already gathered. Some of them were whispering, while others were looking at the island, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, all of these would-be apprentices were on the deck of the base.
"Wait a minute, you all get off the boat from here." He pointed to the location of a gangway next to him.
There is already a magic set up to check the age of the bones, and any child under the age of eleven will walk down to the place where the island is really useful. Others over the age of 11 will be sent to a normal branch for separation.
Lorraine and the three of them walked in a row, and when they reached the beach, Lorraine suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Chip, set up a mission, scan the number of people in this place!"
As his mind gave the task to the chip in his mind, the scanning of the chip began, and after about a second, the chip had already fed back the results into Lorraine's mind:
"The number of apprentices on board the transport is 757, of which 217 are under 10 years old, 246 are 11 years old, 198 are 12 years old, 80 are 13 years old and 16 are 14 years old.
A total of 265 people on the beach, including 167 people aged 10 and under, 98 people aged 11 years old, and the number of people over 11 years old: 0"
Looking at the scan results given by the chip, Lorraine keenly sensed something. His hands clenched involuntarily.
Looking at the would-be apprentices who were still descending from the ship, but there was already a noticeable gap, Lorraine had some idea of what they would encounter next.
He pulled Warrin and Stelli into a remote corner.
"What's wrong, Lorraine?"
Warren was not accustomed to calling Lorraine his brother, and when Locke and Anna taught him to call Lorraine his brother, he stubbornly insisted on calling him by his own name.
"We might be in trouble." Lorraine didn't answer him, but it was Stelli who first stated their situation:
"The people coming down the gangway have begun to have a space, and it is becoming more and more obvious now. We may be different from our "vanished" companions, and it's hard to say whether that's good or bad. ”
Lorraine glanced at Stelli in surprise, obviously he hadn't thought that Stelli, who seemed to be a good girl, would be so observant, and he nodded to show that he agreed with Stelli's statement: "That's right, we are in a different place from the others, there must be something hidden in this." It's a huge stretch of beach, and there's no reason you can't fit even a boatload of people. ”
Hua Lin asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
But before anyone could answer him, another figure appeared near the three of them.
"There's no need to do anything, it's not a bad thing. But are all kids so smart now? It's better to add a layer of illusion. ”
The three of them stiffly turned in the direction where the voice came, and sure enough, there was a figure.
The figure was dressed in black robes, and looked similar to the Doma wizard who had ushered them in, but her face was obscured and she couldn't really see it. But if you listen to it from the voice alone, this person should be a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman waved her hand lightly, and the three of them felt as if their bodies were out of control.
"Alright, come with me. I just have something to tell you. ”
By the time the mysterious middle-aged woman and the three of them reappeared at the spot where they had just disembarked, Doma was already waiting.
"My lord, all the children under the age of eleven are already here." Doma saluted the mysterious wizard and continued, "There are only 463 people of age in the sea blue direction. ”
"Alright, Dom. Needless to say, come with me, we still need to do the final test. At that time, maybe only a dozen people will be selected, and as for the rest, you will have to teach here for the time being. ”
Thomas was silent.
After a short while, he turned around and instructed all the would-be apprentices under the age of eleven who were on the beach to follow the middle-aged woman.
The female wizard led the way, while Doma was at the back of the group to see if anyone was left behind.
Lorraine and the three of them followed the witch.
I don't know how long I walked, because he was afraid that the witch in front of him would find out the chip on his body, Lorraine didn't use the chip to probe the surroundings, he just felt that he seemed to have walked a long way, except that the road they walked was surrounded by dense fog, and he couldn't see the surrounding situation at all.
"It's here, stop."
The witch in front waved her hand, and the team stopped.
After a while, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and for a moment, Lorraine saw the surrounding mirror image clearly:
In front of him was a broken stone wall, and their team was directly east of the stone wall, and other than that, people from the other seven directions attracted his attention even more.
In this clearing, centered on the stone wall, there are eight teams.
The leading witch motioned for them to stand here for a moment and not run around, and then stood in the middle of the stone wall with the wizards from the other seven directions, and began to discuss something.
Although the three Lorraine could tell that they seemed to be discussing something because they were following the witch, they didn't know what they were talking about.
"What should I do?" Styley motioned to the brothers, Lorraine and Warling, who spoke in a very small voice, as if she was afraid of alarming the wizard over there.
"I don't know, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens anyway." Lorraine comforted her brother and her friend, and then motioned for them to stop talking and be quiet.
After a while, the witch's communication with the other wizards seemed to be over, and she returned to the front of her group. Several other wizards returned to their places like her.
While Lorraine was wondering, a team next to her suddenly moved.
Under the control of a magical force, everyone in that line was filmed into a long column, and the last end was no longer even visible.
Then, Lorraine faintly heard the wizard over there seemingly saying "Hurry up...... Hurry up and ......".
What the hell is this doing?
Lorraine says she's a little confused.
