Chapter 4: The Grotesque
Lynch raised his head, only to see the old witch staring at him with a pair of huge pupils, Lynch felt a little trance, and suddenly he opened his eyes suddenly, and he was already in a strange place.
Lynch was shocked to find that he could not move, this was the bottom of a closed tower, with an infinitely long staircase overhead, and the surrounding decorations were magnificent, Lynch noticed a long table in front of him, and around him sat people who looked like living corpses, their faces were pale, and the plates placed in front of them were densely packed with wriggling black maggots.
The strange light of the candlestick distorted.
They mechanically scooped maggots into their mouths with spoons, and Lynch's scalp tingled and he felt a chill in his heart.
This, what the hell is this place.
Boom Boom!
A loud sound came from above, Lynch looked up, his whole body instantly exploded, he felt a chill down his spine, a huge strange head, four faces with a dark smile, it had eight hands and legs, like a spider, it slowly made a loud noise and climbed down the stairs of the upper floor.
"Hell, where the hell is this?!" Lynch creeped out. The roar overhead was getting closer, and so was the strange creature,
The surrounding black walls gradually twisted, and dense black centipedes fell from the walls like rain, and the dense claws of these centipedes were terrifying.
Lynch couldn't move at the moment, and he was very anxious.
Boom, boom, the huge sound above his head is getting closer and closer, and when Lynch looks up, his body is instantly cold to the extreme, Lynch's head is confused, the huge and weird head is stuck in front of him, and his eight huge hands and feet are constantly waving.
Lynch was speechless at this point.
The black centipede became denser and denser, crawling onto Lynch's body and mouth, drowning him.
......
"Whew, whew, whew~"
Lynch opened his eyes and returned to the hall, all the strange pictures before were gone, as if in a dream, Lynch's whole body was weak, and his body was soaked in cold sweat.
What the hell is this strange sight?
The old witch looked at Lynch in surprise, as if she smelled the rancid smell on Lynch's body, she frowned and put Lynch on her right hand, Lynch's legs and feet were weak at this time, and as soon as he landed, Morton and Leylin did not dislike the mud on his body and helped him.
Then they were tested one by one, until in the end, only Moulton, Raylin, and Lynch were on the right hand side.
"There are only three of us who don't have wizarding qualifications. Lynch said worriedly.
"At the end of the qualification test, only three people passed: Leylin, Moulton, and Green. The old witch said in a gloomy voice.
Lynch was stunned, this was exactly the same idea as his idea, and it turned out that it was only the three of them who passed. What surprised him even more was that his spiritual power was actually the highest among this group of people. The invitation letter sent by the old witch is only for children whose spiritual strength is stronger than that of ordinary people, although the old witch is an official wizard, but her strength is not strong enough to find someone with qualified spiritual power thousands of miles away.
In this way, it is necessary to conduct a qualification test in person.
"Among you, Green has the highest spiritual qualifications, followed by Morton Raylin, these three can stay, as for you, ......"
The old witch suddenly let out a dark laugh, and then said.
"Some of you also have the spiritual power that has almost reached the wizard qualification, it's a pity to let you go back, you have rare food for my group of cuties......"
Spiritual qualifications can be divided into 1-10, and the spiritual power of ordinary people is about 1, and only those who are higher than or equal to 5 can embark on the path of wizards. When the old witch said this, even the fool understood the meaning, and the old witch didn't want to let them go back, but wanted to kill them.
A group of teenagers and girls suddenly turned pale with fright, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Wizard, no!"
"No, don't! let me go back. ”
"Great wizard spare your life, spare your life!"
"No, I don't want to die yet!"
"Please, Lord Wizard, let me go. ”
......
The old witch didn't pay attention to this group of people at all, the more they begged for mercy, the more excited the old witch seemed to be, Green and Morton bowed their heads and trembled, and Lynch was glad in his heart, if he knew that if he passed the qualification test and would be used as 'food', Lynch would definitely not come.
The woman who had sent Lynch and them in before collapsed suddenly, turning into small black insects crawling towards them in dense clusters, and the bodies of the two iron guards standing at the door also collapsed, and countless dense little black insects crawled in.
Buzz~
The scalp of the dense black worm is numb, and the 'little cutie' that the old witch said should be this group of terrible bugs.
They flew like locusts, biting a teenager densely, and for only a few seconds, the teenager didn't scream, and turned directly into a white bone, and there was no flesh and blood left on his face.
Lynch was stunned, the methods of the 'wizards' in this world are too terrifying.
The screams and begging for mercy continued, Morton Leilin's face turned pale with fright, and he lowered his head tremblingly, Lynch was shocked in his heart, but he was also a notorious criminal in his previous life, and his mental endurance was still relatively strong, and he did not lose his temper like Leilin and them.
"Woo ......"
The old witch looked crazy, commanding the little black worm, and in just a few minutes, dozens of living people were directly bitten into white bones by the black worm, and there was no blood left at the scene, which was terrifying.
After a full meal, the little black worm transformed into the image of a woman's iron guard.
"Wow, you three, come with me. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The old witch took the three of them to the mural, the mural fluctuated strangely, the old witch's body disappeared, Lynch felt fresh, and walked through the mural with the three of them.
Behind it is a hall with dim candlelight flickering, with four spiral staircases facing upwards, corresponding to the second, third, fourth, and top floors. There is a huge statue in the center of the hall on the first floor.
The statue was that of the goddess of darkness, Morellia, and it seemed that the old witch was her faithful follower.
"Next, I'll help you start wizarding enlightenment. The old witch said.
"Wizard enlightenment?" Lynch asked subconsciously.
The old witch didn't answer Lynch's question, but asked.
"Green, what do you think of as a wizard?"
The three of them looked at each other in surprise.
Lynch said, "A powerful being who can control the natural energy?"
Old Witch: "What you said is very intuitive, the title of wizard did not exist at all in ancient times, I don't know how many years ago, after that period of history that no one knows, the gods perished, all races lost their faith, and some books left by the ancient strong who controlled the rules of nature were discovered, controlling the power of the elements, using the rules of magic, following the footsteps of the strong in ancient times, and constantly exploring the truth of nature, this is the essence of wizards." ”
Whether you are a dark wizard or a wizard, when you step into the wizarding world, you will be attracted by your own powerful power, and you will continue to search for the truth.
All three nodded a little incomprehensibly.
