Chapter 14: Spiritwing Academy of Magic
Layton calmly looked at Manklin, who was a little younger than him, but he looked domineering. I have long known that his character is bad, and I think of it on weekdays, he often uses the identity of the son of the city lord. In Red Fire City, it can be said that he bullies the good and the good, and does all kinds of evil, and almost all the people of Red Fire City hate him.
Layton glanced back at the night soul standing in the wind on the bow of the ship in the distance, and then said casually, "It doesn't matter. ”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Manklin thought that he was going to enroll in the Psiwing Academy of Magic, just like him.
"Leighton, now that you and I are going to the imperial capital together, we should take care of each other, and you should be orphans. Manklin's face did not change, and he hinted arrogantly: "With my identity and status, as long as you are willing to follow me, you can be guaranteed to be prosperous and rich, and your future is bright." ”
Hearing this, Layton was a little angry when he heard the disdain in Manklin's tone and the contempt for his "orphan" status, and clenched his fists tightly.
Immediately, I thought of something, and I didn't want to make too many intersections with him.
Layton snorted and laughed, "You're really ...... Narcissistic!"
Mancklin's face turned purple, no one had dared to talk to him like this since he was a child, and he was an orphan with no background, he said angrily in his eyes: "Boy, you dare to ignore me, do you know the fate of offending me." ”
Layton rolled his eyes and said to himself, "Anyway, I'm alone now, and I'm still afraid of your threat, it's a joke." ”
Ignoring Manklin's threats, he turned to leave.
Manklin looked at the back of Leighton leaving, his face was gloomy and almost dripping, he squinted his eyes slightly, and said to himself: "You are really bold, don't worry, I will never spare you." ”
After a night without words, the next morning the merchant ship flew to one of the four famous imperial cities on the mainland, the Star Glory Imperial City.
From a distance, the entire imperial city looked like a sleeping beast, and the tall walls were carved with strange runes, all of which greatly shocked Leighton's heart.
The city is extremely bustling, with all kinds of shops lined up one after another, and the streets are full of traffic and pedestrians, who are dazzled by it. This is the number one city of the Starlight Empire, the Starlight Imperial City.
The Night Spirit led the two of them through the city to the west of the city.
A magnificent gate came into view, and it was none other than the Spirit Wing Magic Academy. At this moment, there are many people gathered outside the door, and it is simply overcrowded, all of whom have come from all over the mainland to participate in the enrollment registration.
The Night Soul led the two of them through the mentor passage next to them and entered the magic academy without hindrance.
As soon as I entered, the first thing I saw was a lifelike statue of a man. Holding a dazzling star in the palm of his right hand, his eyes are shining with a little starlight, and he looks into the distance, as if he can capture people's souls.
Next to it is a statue of a woman, her arms like jade lotus are covered with bright stars, holding a galaxy bow and arrows, turning her head sideways and staring at the man statue with affection.
"This is the founder of the Spiritwing Magic Academy thousands of years ago, the Starlight Saint King, and his star soul is the stars shining. The Night Spirit bowed deeply to the statue and said respectfully, "The one next to him is his wife, the Starlight Saintess, and her Star Soul is the Nightlight Star." ”
Night Soul said slowly, "Since ancient times, every Saint King has represented more than just a power over the world. More importantly, in that era when the human race was weak and difficult, they stood up and did not hesitate to fight against the hundred races. He led the Terrans to rise in the Land of Exile and fought for the land of survival for the Terrans, and made great achievements, so he was admired by every Terran. ”
Night Soul waved his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, you'll know about this later." I'll find a dormitory first and arrange for you to stay tonight. ”
Then, take them through the tree-lined paths and into a quiet place, a dormitory building. It's just one person in one room, and everything in it should be complete.
The night spirit said to them, "This is the temporary dormitory for the students, you guys stay here tonight first, and I have to leave beforehand." ”
Soon the back of the night soul disappeared, and it really came and went quickly, leaving only the two of them to face each other. The two glanced at each other, they didn't have much in common, and Layton prepared to go back to his room to rest.
Since the last time Manklin failed to solicit him, he had looked down on Layton in various ways, always staring at him with a gloomy gaze, as if he was silently warning.
Leighton had already experienced life and death once, and now he was bent on revenge, and that would take care of him. If it weren't for the Night Spirit, he wouldn't have come here. To hell with the solicitation of the son of the lord of the city, he didn't care at all.
What's more, he is alone now, he has nothing to worry about in Red Fire City, and he will not be subject to him, as the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.
I saw that Manklin did not return to the room, but turned around and left with a jade box that emitted a hazy light, and walked towards the depths of the academy.
Looking at Mancklin's departing back, Layton seemed to have guessed something. He had heard a little about the gifts and bribes between these powerful people. Shaking his head, he scoffed at the men's mannerisms and turned back into the dormitory.
In the past two days, even on the flying merchant ship, he had been practicing the Dark Meditation Technique uninterruptedly, and now he could feel that the Soul Mist Ball was about to transform, and he just needed a suitable opportunity.
In the office of the dean of the Spirit Wing Magic Academy, Night Soul was reporting to an old man with gray hair.
"Dean Rose, I found a hidden dungeon hall in the northern mountains, which is filled with a large number of dark elements, unlike the Holy Dragon Continent, which is mixed with the death aura of the undead realm. During the investigation, I rescued a child, and after asking him to be a local villager, he was accidentally captured as a sacrifice, and then escaped by chance, and he was the only survivor, so he was very aware of the situation, so I brought him back. The entire altar ritual of the Dungeon Hall has been copied by me in the Memory Orb. Layton handed a crystal ball glowing with purple light to Dean Rose.
Night Spirit continued, "According to his description, a mysterious group is secretly engaged in a dark necromancy ritual, and at a critical moment, the claws of the giant beast and the ghost-faced masked man were in battle, and then disappeared. The only known demonic beast with purple and gold-haired giant claws in the northern mountains is the Demonic Beastlord Thunder Emperor Ape. After the dungeon hall was destroyed, the black stone tablet was also missing. ”
Dean Ross was shocked after seeing the altar ceremony in the magic crystal ball, and said: "This is the Dark Necromancy Ritual, it is a kind of enslavement contract technique of the Dark Temple, because it is too vicious and cruel, it is listed as a forbidden art, since the Holy War, the vitality of the Dark Temple has been greatly damaged, and many ancient secret techniques have long been missing, how can it appear here?"
"Dark Necromancy?" the Night Spirit asked, confused.
"The Dark Necromancer Ritual transforms the living into an immortal spirit through the sacrifice of life, and this altar is very complicated, I am afraid that the level of the transformed undead spirit is not low. Dean Rose held his forehead with his hand and said slowly, "This matter should not be done by the people of our temple, those old guys in the City of the Dead have not heard from them for a long time. ”
"Since the emergence of the mysterious organization, we still don't know which force it is or who did it. ”
"You have to be careful lately, the situation on the mainland is getting more and more chaotic!"
"Understood. ”
"Oh, yes. You brought that boy to me, and I was a little curious about him. ”
"Okay. ”
At the same time, in the northern mountains. Dressed in a scarred ghost-faced masked man, he returned to the dungeon hall exhausted. Looking at the destroyed dungeon hall in front of him, as well as the missing monument of the dead on the altar of the bluestone platform, the scene was a mess.
Hurriedly ran to the stone chamber and saw nothing. Then he ran to the stone prison where the purple gold-haired beast was imprisoned, his face was full of anger, and he roared angrily: "Who is it?"
Bursts of angry roars resounded throughout the mountains and forests, stirring up beast roars.
In the bright night, Layton had just finished a round of dark meditation, walked out of the door to breathe outside, and quietly looked at the brightly lit teaching buildings in the college.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the path.
"Hello, Lord Night Soul. Layton said hello.
"Why haven't you rested so late?" the Night Soul asked with a smile.
"Uh, no...... Can't sleep. ”
"I told the Dean about you just now, and he is very interested in you and wants to meet you. ”
"The Dean wants to see me?" said Layton, surprised.
