Under the offensive of Viscount Jackson, several other wizard apprentices soon agreed.

After all, they have lived on other people's territory for so long, and the other party is a big knight, and several other apprentices are embarrassed to refuse.

But there are exceptions, the rosacea apprentice that Lei Lin saw last time did not hesitate to refuse the invitation of the city lord.

Finally, Jackson turned his gaze to Leylin: "What about you, Mr. Leylin!"

Jackson was a little suspicious of Leylin, because the timing was more coincidental, which made him guess that this apprentice was an envoy sent by the royal family.

It's a pity that Lei Lin has spent almost most of his time in the manor since he arrived, rarely going out, and there are no wizards who come to seek revenge or anything like that, as if he has come to live in seclusion.

If it weren't for the previous mission to explore the withered woods, Viscount Jackson would have been completely disappointed.

"After all, it always has to be solved, so it's okay to form a team and go in!"

Lei Lin thought secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he made a look of embarrassment: "I am studying pharmacy recently, and I am very busy, and I have reached a critical time again......

"Please also make sure to take time!" Viscount Jackson said suddenly: "I know that Mr. Lei Lin has been buying a large number of Hove purple leaves recently, this material is more precious, and other cities will not have too much inventory, but there is still a warehouse in the City Lord's Mansion, as long as Mr. Lei Lin agrees to act together, I am willing to add these as a reward!"

"Hoff Purple Leaf?" Lei Lin's eyes lit up, he couldn't imagine that there were these unexpected gains, and it was estimated that this was also Jackson's bottom line. Lei Lin "struggled" for a long time, and finally agreed.

After that, several apprentices agreed on a specific time, and everyone left in a hurry, apparently to go and prepare for themselves.

For this group of apprentices who are bent on retiring and have always been pampered, how much power can be exerted in battle, Lei Lin really has no expectations.

"But it's always an apprentice, and basic spells can still be cast!" Relin comforted himself in his heart.

At this time, Melfiler, who had just said goodbye, walked quickly to Lei Lin's side, with a sad face: "Young man, when you get to the withered forest, you must protect me!"

"Your Excellency, you're a third-class, a third-class apprentice, and I'm a second-class!" Leylin's eyes widened.

"Alas...... People are old, and they have almost forgotten the magic models they remember, you know, constructing a magic model is a delicate job, and if the structure goes wrong, a spell explosion will leave me with no bones left!" Melfeller looked helpless.

"You! How long have you not used a spell?" Leylin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It's been thirty or forty years, you know, I've always considered myself a scholar!" Melfeller said innocently.

"!" Leylin suddenly felt a little regretful.

Two days later, in the early morning, the gates of the Polar Night City were opened, and a group of guards in iron armor came out of it, and quickly left the city gate with a few people in the middle.

"I didn't expect the Viscount to be with us!" Melfiler looked very happy, having a great knight by his side was also a great guarantee for his life.

Beside him, Jackson was dressed in black steel armor and under a helmet that could cover his face at all times.

"How prepared are you?" asked Leylin, looking for an opportunity, whispering in Melfeller's ear.

"I've been swooping out on the spell model for the past two days, and I can barely use two!" Melfeller replied softly.

"That's good!" The conversation between the two before was mostly joke, anyway, Lei Lin didn't believe that this old slippery head would have no life-saving hole cards or anything like that.

The wizarding world is not a peaceful place, if it weren't for a few hands, Melfiler would have died a long time ago, and there would be no scum left, how could he still be alive and kicking as his university scholar?

"But even the Black Iron Guards have been dispatched? It looks like there are two squads, twenty people!"

"Of course, these are the elite forces of the City Lord's Mansion!" Melfil replied casually, in fact, he and Lei Lin both knew that in the Blighted Forest, these two teams of Black Iron Guards had only one role, and that was cannon fodder!

The Dark Night Forest was not far from Polar Night City, and the team reached the outskirts of the forest after walking for more than half an hour.

"The danger here is much smaller than the forest near the Black Bone Forest, at least, as long as ordinary people are careful, they can come and go freely in it, picking herbs and other materials!"

Lei Lin walked in the middle of the group, watching the two guards in front of him open the way, still thinking wildly.

Along the way, Lei Lin felt that the vitality in the Dark Night Forest had decreased a lot, and although it was spring, the woods seemed a little lacking in vitality.

Moreover, everyone felt a little heavier on their bodies, and their hearts seemed to be clouded, and they felt very depressed.

Lei Lin looked around, and the surface of the branches also showed signs of dryness, and the bottom of some of the newly tender branches and buds appeared a faint yellow.

"Although the Blighted Region has not yet spread here, there is already a portent!" Leylin sighed.

"My family used to be hunters, and at this time of year, the woods are always full of animals, as well as a lot of fresh wild vegetables and medicinal herbs......

Beside him, the whispers of several guards reached Lei Lin's ears.

"Has there been any change in the air around you?"

Conclusion: Oxygen concentration decreased by 3.7%, nitrogen content increased, and unknown inert gases appeared, accounting for about 1.2% of the total, and are rising!"

The chip gives feedback.

"Is this inert gas the culprit of the blighting incident?" Lei Lin touched his chin and let the chip begin to analyze the composition of this unknown gas.

"Be careful! we're already in the Blighted Realm!" came the roar of Viscount Jackson from the front of the line.

Lei Lin patted the leather armor on his body, and inside, there was a gray robe that had deliberately removed the logo of the Black Bone Forest Academy, which was equivalent to two layers of defense.

For wizard apprentices, they lack the same effective and durable defenses as full-fledged wizards, and in many cases, the difference between victory and defeat is whether or not your spell hits the opponent.

"Instantaneous spells, as well as spell potions, demonic items, etc., are all a great boost to the growth of the apprentice's combat power!"

Leylin reached into the leather pouch on his waist and took out a test tube and held it in his hand.

In Bray Canyon, he replenished the materials a few more times and made many bursting potions, ready to be consumed on this operation.

As the team progressed, the surrounding environment changed significantly.

The ground was dry, the vegetation withered, and the whole forest smelled of death.

Lei Lin grabbed it casually, took a dead branch in his hand, and his eyes flashed slightly, "I have completely lost my moisture, and I even ......"

With a slight force in the palm of the hand, the dead branches suddenly turned into white powder and fell from the gap in the palm.

"Even the internal structure has been destroyed!" Lei Lin's heart was a little heavy, this kind of power was already a little unexpected.

"Where do we need to go?" Jackson asked Melfeller on the side.

"Center! My sorcery can only take effect if I reach the center of the Blighted Land!" Melfiler's face was solemn, and he took out a piece of glasses, which he hung on his nose.

The thick withered leaves were piled up on the ground, and it was extremely soft to step on.

"Warning, warning, dangerous creatures ahead!" the chip warning suddenly sounded, just as Leylin thought about some reason to remind him.

Suddenly, yellow leaves flew up, and a black shadow suddenly pounced.

The black shadow was extremely fast, its mouth full of snow-white fangs opened, and a red tongue flew out in an instant.

The tongue circled around the waist of one of the guards at the front of the line, curled up, and the guard's spear fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Viscount Jackson's warning had just been shouted.

"Ah!!h

"Damn!" Viscount Jackson snapped, drawing his broadsword from his waist and tangling with the dark shadow.

"Retardation!" With the sound of the incantation, the wizard apprentice on the other side finally made a move, and the red-haired clothes shop owner waved his hand, and a yellow-green light was inspired, turning into a ring, and falling on the black shadow.

Hiss!! with the sound of the monster swallowing its tongue, the speed of the black shadow finally slowed down, exposing the whole picture to everyone.

It has an earthy yellow body with four legs, a snake-like tongue in its mouth, and a small horn on its forehead.

"Didn't you say that you had already killed one?"

"Ding!Unknown Creature Strength: 5.5 Agility: 4 (6-7) Constitution: 5 Spirit: 3 Similarity with Blue Lizard 67.4% Likeness to Mansland Serpent 45.8%"

"Quite a strong creature, except for a slightly lower spirit, there are almost no other obvious shortcomings, and the number is unknown, no wonder Jackson can't get it alone!"

But with the obstruction of sluggish witchcraft, the speed of this monster lizard decreased significantly, and after a moment of entanglement, I heard Viscount Jackson shout: "Arc light kill!"

A bright light erupted from the sword, forming the shape of a blade and slashing through the lizard's neck.

"The knight's secret killing move! The same nature as my 'cross slash', it seems that Jackson is relatively easy to fight, and even the knight's secret method is not stimulated!"

Bang!! the two staggered, and the huge lizard took a few more steps forward before its body came to a halt.

The earthy yellow scales fell one by one, and a slit appeared in the lizard's neck, and dark red blood flowed out in large patches.

"Look!" suddenly called one of the apprentices.

As the lizard died, its body continued to dent, its scales continued to fall off, and the blood evaporated rapidly, and after just a few minutes, only the white skeleton and some scales remained in place.
