Chapter 287: Strange Birds
Thoughts of Truth, in the hearts of the apprentices, the name represents the mysterious mage, the powerful magic, and the bright future.
And now, for these apprentices, who have been hungry and cold along the way, and who have been trekking for three weeks and are still drenched in the pouring rain, the thought of truth means getting out of the muddy swamp, changing into well-fitting clothes, and away from the perverted mentor.
Almost all of the apprentices, including Anya and Jasmine, looked ahead with bright eyes, and the apprentices, whether they were self-motivated people who had volunteered to join or those who had been forced to join and had been dealing with them passively, cheered up violently, because in any case, this arduous "trip" to take out the "just go" was finally coming to an end, because their long-awaited Truth Thoughts branch station was finally at hand.
Because the apprentices' dwellings are on the outskirts of the Grey Swamp, this part is the residence of many Truththought apprentices, although the chance of the apprentices dying is extremely high, but the frequency of Truththink's recruitment of apprentices every fifteen years is not small, so the number of apprentices is still very large, and it is precisely because of this that the huge settlement does not seem too deserted.
Anya wiped the rain from her face vigorously, and then gazed curiously at the legendary and mysterious mage settlement.
A vague glow formed a wall at the edge of the area, and only a gate opened directly opposite the entrance of the apprentices.
The entire 50-meter-high stone gate is made of the finest steel flintstones, and the runes carved on it are as bright as unquenchable flames even in the rain.
Under the surprised gaze of the elementary school students, they saw a two-headed monster bird carved on the stone gate suddenly come to life, it broke free from the heavy stone gate with great strength, and then flapped its wings in the form of a rock and flew into the air:
"Another batch of little cubs, they look like they have fine skin and tender flesh, but I know that those little devils have the most chewy bones."
A strange bird with a hideous head opened its mouth and said in a strange tone terrifying words that made all the schoolchildren shudder.
Fortunately, the other head of the strange bird expressed a different opinion:
"That's enough, stop playing! We need to complete the identity registration quickly, and only when the apprentices enter the station can they relax, the three "rain of corruption" that was smashed down by the red-robed maniacs last time hasn't made you remember it for a long time."
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll open the barrier."
Under the amazed gaze of more than 300 people, the two heads of this two-headed monster bird actually quarreled, and most importantly, one head won the quarrel, but it was okay............ Thankfully, it wasn't the "foodie" head that won the win.
I don't know what the stone goylele bird did, but I saw a faint white light slowly emerge from the swamp that originally seemed bright and hazy to people, and then the ordinary water curtain was broken, and under the ripples, a magnificent "new world" was finally revealed.
It was a city surrounded by a translucent barrier, and mysterious runes slowly flowed across the barrier, and a pillar of ice-white light that reached through the sky appeared in the middle of the settlement.
Through the translucent barrier, Anya can clearly see the interior of the settlement, where the multi-storey houses are all made of the finest granite, and the rows of square houses are planned in a staggered manner, which seems to be disorganized, but when you look closely, it is full of a different kind of beauty.
You must know that in ordinary cities, only the residences of city lords or nobles would build houses with granite in such luxury, and the poor people generally used wood and artemisia grass as building materials. However, how can you not surprise these narrow-minded apprentices here, where granite buildings are rarely seen in the ordinary world?
After looking at these "extravagant" houses, Anya turned her attention to the tower, which could be seen even from a distance.
In Anya's position, she could only see three towers, the most conspicuous of which was a bright fire red, and if you looked closely, the flames on the towers were as colorful as if they were burning and blooming in a rainstorm, and the beautiful firelight penetrated the haze of the rain curtain.
"It's so beautiful, is this magic"?
Anya couldn't help but whisper to herself, but her voice was quickly drowned out by the roar of the rain and cold wind.
At this time, the apprentices who were staring blankly at the wonders of the mage's settlement were not only Anya, most of the apprentices had forgotten the cold at this time, looking at the spotless square houses and the gorgeous towers standing between heaven and earth, in this world where the industrial level of ordinary people was extremely backward, the tallest building in these apprentices' cognition was the city wall, and the spire like this one was as high as a miracle.
"That's the magic tower, it's a perfect existence that is safe and warm and will never collapse."
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts flew up and down in the minds of the apprentices.
"Quack, little cubs who don't know anything, these stone houses are just apprentice buildings, official mages don't live in such dilapidated sheds, and those towers, that's right, they are also famous magic towers in the world of ants, safe, warm, indestructible, that is the residence that only the master can have, no power can break it"!
The strange bird that flew in mid-air seemed to like to show off, and in the astonished eyes of the apprentices, it quacked and screamed to show off the power and wealth of the Truth Thought, and the angry wind and rain did not diminish its sound in the slightest.
Looking at the adoring eyes of these junior disciples, the strange bird laughed even louder, and the gloomy rattling sound was endless for a while.
The torrential rain showed no sign of stopping, and in the cold wind, the soaking wet apprentices were still shivering uncontrollably.
Then it's time for the apprentices to register, well, it's also the time when the strange bird is slapped in the face, and the truth will tell the ignorant apprentices and the ignorant strange bird: what is safe in this dangerous world?
Under everyone's gaze, I saw that the top of the gray tower on the left side of the crimson magic tower suddenly burst out with an incandescent light, and the intense light was as dazzling as a small sun rising in a cloudy sky.
Along with this sudden and unavoidable "little sun" came a deafening loud bang!
"Boom"!!
The sound was ten times louder than the thunder in the rainstorm tore through the howling cold wind, and the astonished and even panicked apprentices almost completely covered their ears in agony, and they only felt a buzzing in their heads, and even the screams of strange birds in the air could not be heard.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, run, run"!
Shocked by a loud noise in mid-air, a staggering strange bird instantly lost its swagger, screaming hysterically as it slammed into the stone door like a ray of gray light.
