Chapter 19: Arriving at the Academy
"It's a full-grown storm troll!!"
"Damn, how could this thing be on this line, wasn't it cleaned before?"
"Where are the wizards of the houses, we need their help!!"
Several angry voices rang out.
"Start the large defensive witch array first, otherwise those apprentices will die!"
With the sound of a spell, a milky white halo poured out of the walls of the entire airship, and in several breaches, green flashed, and vines continued to climb, firmly blocking the cracks.
"Huhu ......" Lei Lin's face was flushed and he was dressed roughly.
When the Storm Giant Elf spoke just now, the apprentices present all directly felt an extremely cold coercion attacking them.
It was vast, majestic, and with naked, naked malice!! almost suffocating Leylin.
Fortunately, after this defensive circle was activated, Lei Lin felt a lot lighter, and he felt a lot better.
Otherwise, perhaps in a few moments, the apprentices in the entire hall would suffocate to death.
"Humans, you will pay for your recklessness!" roared the Storm Elf.
The voice passed through the witch array, and the milky white light trembled.
"Great Child of Nature, please calm your anger!We have a token here!" A familiar voice rang out from Leylin, it was the captain of the airship.
"This is our pact with His Excellency the Storm King, and it gives us the right to pass!" Gargamel's voice was confident.
"Token?" the Storm Elf's voice was puzzled, and then roared, "Pandara is free!!!
"Roar, roar, Domidare—Potala!" As the sound of the spell sounded again, the thunder and lightning outside suddenly became ten times more violent.
"Grass !! is actually a wanderer, Lao Tzu has hit the jackpot!!" Gargamel's voice sounded again, but he lost his usual self-confidence, and was more angry.
"Let's !! together"
Bang!!!!
Colorful lights flashed outside the window, tangled with the thunder light.
The airship began to tremble slightly.
Thunderlin's face turned a little pale, and now he could only pray that the wizards would be able to use their might to drive that damn storm troll away, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to run in the air.
"Bang !!"
After another loud bang, the airship regained its calm.
"Is it gone?"
"It's just a storm troll that has just come of age, at most the equivalent of a half-elemental official wizard, and there are nine of us, so it's only natural for it to escape!"
The conversation of the wizards outside was heard, obviously unsuppressed, presumably to calm the minds of the apprentices.
Sure enough, when the apprentices present heard this, they all cheered loudly.
"Oh! praise to the great wizards!"
"Damn, I thought I'd be smashed into pate!"
"Haha! Look at that coward, he's actually peeing his pants!" the apprentices laughed loudly at an unlucky bastard, venting their fears.
Lei Lin glanced slightly.
As early as the storm troll spoke, Garmen let go of the vine that bound Crewell, and now Crewell didn't know where to run, but Gamen's face was a little pale, but he kept standing in the center of the field, maintaining the posture of a victor.
"Chip didn't find out that Gamen was carrying demonic items before, it seems that he only got it recently, and the only way is Dorot !!"
"It seems that after getting the demonic item, Garmen began to eagerly challenge Crewell's position, if it weren't for this accident, it might have been a success for him!"
Because of the disturbance of the storm elfs, the conflict between Garmen and Créwell ended in such an inconclusive form.
Since then, Crewell has tried to avoid appearing in the same place as Gamen, apparently because he is afraid of the other's demonized items.
And the impact of this battle on Leylin is also huge.
"Créwell has fully activated the life energy, crossed the threshold, and become a full-fledged knight, and is still as fragile as a lamb in front of the apprentice who holds the demonized item!
"Originally, I was still thinking about stimulating the life energy, but now it seems that if I haven't activated it after I arrive at the academy, I will give up! I must put all my energy into the study of wizards!" Lei Lin made up his mind.
As time passed, the airship finally reached another continent.
In addition to the storm elves he encountered, the airship also encountered many flying creatures along the way, which made Leylin realize that not only is the Sea of Death difficult to cross, but also the dangers in the sky.
Thankfully, Gargamel's token is still useful to most creatures and doesn't clash.
During this period, the airship landed several more times, sending batches of teachers and students off the ship, and the airship gradually became empty.
More than ten days passed unconsciously.
Bang!!The airship landed on the ground, and the entire compartment shuddered.
"The Black Bone Swamp has arrived! The apprentices of the Black Bone Forest Academy have paid attention! Please bring your belongings and get off the boat in an orderly manner!" a voice rang out, echoing back and forth in the small private room.
"Is it finally here?" Leylin quickly packed up his things and left the cubicle where he had been in for more than a month.
"Garmen, Crewell, count the number of people!" Dorott held a black staff in his hand, and the top of the black staff was inlaid with a large green gem.
"Yes!" Garmen and Crewell nodded, and began to count the numbers.
Leylin glanced at Crewell, the boy had suddenly been much more silent since that incident had passed, and he had usually stayed in his cubicle, and now his face was a little gloomy.
On the contrary, Garmen was very active, and according to the faint rumors, he had been accepted by Dorot as a personal disciple.
Unlike ordinary teachers, the status of personal disciples is much higher, and they can even obtain a lot of advanced knowledge from their teachers for free.
A group of more than a dozen people walked out of the airship.
"Is this the Academy? It looks a little desolate!"
Lei Lin looked around, there was a desert on all sides, and there were a few paths, and it was obvious that the traces of people walking.
In the center of a three-way junction there is also a wooden sign, which has broken several gaps.
The end point in each direction is indicated in black lettering.
"The Land of Shadows and Death - the Black Bone Swamp!" the font twisted and twisted, and Leylin suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp.
"Hey...... Come with me!" Dorot stretched out, and the white bones creaked and creaked, as if they would fall apart in the next moment.
"Attention! Although there are apprentices from our academy who clean up here regularly, there will still be some humanoids, polluters, and malicious creatures wandering, if we are left behind, we may be able to pay homage to your remains immediately!"
Dorot sneered, and the apprentices who heard him speak all twitched their faces and followed closely behind Dorot, for fear of being thrown away.
The group slowly embarked on the road to the Black Bone Swamp.
"What's that?" Leylin walked in the middle of the group, and suddenly a black light flashed in front of him, and a creature that looked like a lizard, but on its head, an elder with a blue one-horned creature ran over.
"Chip! Scan!"
"Mission established, start scanning!" the mechanical voice of the chip sounded.
"Unknown high-energy creature!Estimated strength: 3-4 agility: 4-5 constitution: greater than 5 evaluation: extremely dangerous!"
"Hey, any one is much more powerful than a scavenging wolf, and I don't know if there are any strange predatory methods, and the knight will only be dead when he encounters it!"
Leylin hurriedly squeezed forward, and in this land full of dangers, it seemed that Mentor Dorot was his only safety in a pile of black and brown bones.
"It seems that our junior apprentices have begun to realize the danger!"
The green fire in Dorot's eyes flickered suddenly, and he said lightly.
The further the team went inside, the desolate land became scarcer, and there were more bushes on the roadside.
Soon after, Leylin entered a black forest.
I don't know if it's an illusion, after entering the forest, Lei Lin felt that the sun in the sky dimmed, and there was a faint layer of white mist around him, and there was a cold feeling.
"Warning! Warning! Energetic creatures are rapidly approaching the center! Location: Above!" the chip's alarm sounded.
Lei Lin quickly lowered his head and squatted down.
"Quack!" a shrill voice sounded.
A black, red-eyed crow swooped down from the tree and leapfrogged over Leylin's position, its sharp claws hooked directly into the face of a female apprentice.
Rumble!!!
A cloud of green liquid hit the black crow directly, and the crow croaked and fell to the ground, and a wisp of white smoke rose with a corrosive sound.
The female apprentice stayed where she was, and suddenly she burst into tears of fright.
Just a few seconds later, the crows on the ground were gone, leaving a large corroded pit in its place.
"The number of red-eyed crows has increased again, and it seems that we will have to issue a task after we go back, so that the apprentices can clean it up again!"
"Look at what? go!"
Dorot's voice came from the front. The crying female apprentice wiped her eyes with her sleeve and gritted her teeth as she moved forward.
Lei Lin was stunned for a moment, and then hurried to follow.
After walking for about an hour, the group came to the middle of the black forest.
"This is ......," Lei Lin's gaze suddenly became empty.
What catches your eye is a huge cemetery.
In the very center of the Black Forest, there is a large grave for some unknown reason.
The cemetery is large and made of black and white marble, which looks luxurious.
It seems to have been abandoned for a long time, many tombstones fell to the ground, overgrown with weeds, and some tombstones were still crawling with vines, and from time to time crows stopped on them and crowed, which was very scary.
"Welcome to the Black Bone Forest, the capital of shadows and death!" Dorot laughed, but Leylin thought he was gloating.
